Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

Wonderful customer service and sparkling clean restaurant. Sweet tea is great. Food is expensive and underwhelming. Not sure I'd go again.

Pros: Amazing sweet tea! Quality chicken cooked perfectly. Great customer service.

Cons: Bland breading, boring crinkle fries, unnecessary toast, sauce in nothing special (like Zaxby's better), very expensive for what you get. Kids meal restricted to under age 12.

Great chicken tenders and fries, but that's about it. Maybe they'll offer more sides in the near future. Service fast and friendly.

We came here the day after it opened. There were plenty of people here for dinner. Wait time was about 10 minutes after ordering. They had sweet and unsweetened tea in addition to the fountain drinks (orange Fanta, Dr. Pepper, and Pepsi, I think). We got one combo, 4 fingers a la carte, two Texas toasts a la carte, and two kids meals. The chicken fingers were moist and not too salty. The breading did not have much flavor but it had a great crisp. The chicken fingers are a good value at $1.82 each. The crinkle fries were hot, fresh, and nicely salted. We were eager to try the special sauce. It was good - had some spice and a vinegar taste to it. I’m not sure if most small children would like it. I got a side of house-made honey mustard for 44 cents. It had a milder flavor than the special sauce but did not have a honey flavor that I would expect. They had a Heinz ketchup pump that we didn’t use. The toasts were large and tasty - also a good value. Our friend also got a side of coleslaw with his combo but we forgot to ask how it tasted. The kids meal came with two chicken fingers, fries, a drink, and a double sided paper to decorate a cat and a dog with stickers which were fun. The restaurant interior decorations were beautiful, modern, and paid homage to local Richmond sports teams. As our first time trying Raising Canes, it was a good experience. I wish that there were more sauce options because I think that it would be more worth it to order a bunch of chicken fingers and have fun trying different sauces. The menu itself was pretty limited. I didn’t see any dessert options. I think to be competitive with other chicken restaurants in the area like Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, and Korean BBQ chicken the menu should be wider but I doubt that is something that can change within this one storefront. We didn’t do drive through but saw that there were two ordering lanes that were well managed with Raising Cane’s traffic control.

GREAT FOOD AND GREAT ENVIRONMENT AND EVERYONE IS IN A GREAT MOOD. ALL EMPLOYEES ARE VERY NICE. CAME WITH KEG CHAIN AND PEN, AND VCU CHEERLEADERS WERE THERE!!
