Utterly disappointing…read more Stopped in because we saw a reel hyping this place... it did not live up to the hype. They did not have the Dubai chocolate one available today. No big deal, we got the strawberry shortcake instead. Though they probably should've taken the Dubai one out of the display case. The fruit tea and Boba was fine though maybe a bit small for the price. The strawberry shortcake cheesecake was unpleasant at best. Don't get me wrong the flavor was fine, however eating it was a very unpleasant experience. The cheesecake was frozen solid onto a stick. They then dipped it into warm white chocolate coating and then into the crumble coating, and then syrups were drizzled onto it and a strawberry slice was put on top. The cheesecake was too frozen to bite into. The coating broke off and slopped syrup everywhere and left your mouth feeling oily. Plus the strawberry on top was not ripe so it was not pleasant either. The service was extremely slow even though we saw four people behind the counter. The dining room was under construction and they had weirdly aggressive signs on the window telling you to not touch the plants. Plus there was not a garbage in the lobby or outside to throw away your Boba straw wrapper. We would not go back again.

It's tucked away in a shopping plaza between a Mexican restaurant and a barbershop, making it easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The shop itself is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit crowded during busy times. But the ice cream is well worth it. There's a great selection of flavors to choose from, and once you pick your favorite (or two!), you can customize it with mix-ins like sprinkles, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and more. Everything is blended together and served however you prefer--whether that's in a cup, waffle cone, or waffle bowl. They also offer chocolate-dipped waffle cones and bowls for an extra treat. Another highlight is their giant cookie cakes, which looked delicious and perfect for celebrations. The prices are reasonable for the generous portion sizes, and there's plenty of parking available right outside. Overall, it's a great spot to satisfy an ice cream craving on a hot day.

Incredible, light, buttery. Service Perfection! Had this nice, sweet lady who was constantly available and upsold me on the sausage which is saying a lot.

I was hangry after driving back to TN from Augusta, GA. During my drive, I couldn't stop thinking…read moreabout fried chicken. I've heard people talking about eating Raising Cane's and how good their chicken tenders were. I've never tried them before and didn't realize that they only serve tenders. I like tenders, but I was craving fried chicken(bone in). It was late, around 8:45pm and I went to the drive through and ordered the first combo(bummed about no bone in). It had a catchy name for it, but I forget. Pulled up to the window and received courteous and fast service. They advertise as every order is freshly prepared. Since I received my order so quickly, I was anticipating something left on the warmer. Boy was I wrong! I opened the corner of my takeout box and felt around for a tender and that sucker was hot! What a nice surprise to see the meat steaming after a bite. It came with some bread and my hungry butt shoved that big tender into the bread and had the best sammie while I finished driving to my destination. I ate the rest of the fries and slaw and 2 more tenders after I got there and all that hot and delicious food was worth the stop. I would definitely recommend this place if you're a chicken tenders fan. I really wasn't a big fan until I had some of Raising Cane's. Good, hot, freshly prepared, and super fast.

Service was prompt and friendly. My order was accurate. The tenders and french fries were nice and hot. I really like enjoying the cane's sauce with the tenders. If the fries had been just a teeny bit more crispy and would've been even better. I like the fact that they have a double drive-through. This probably helps with those busy lunch breaks. This restaurant is a little newer, and the inside is always clean. For future reference, I'll need to remember to ask for ketchup, thankfully I had some in my truck. Also, I think I'll get a side of their slaw and extra cane's sauce. Overall very good!!
