Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers

Nothing special to write home about. I would take Popeyes over this! I don’t understand what all the hype was about!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Raising Canes! It’s new, it’s delicious, it’s from Louisiana and it’s strictly chicken strips.
This is the newest edition of the famous chickety chicken from Louisiana that has entered the hearts and appetites of the Port Arthur/​Nederland residents. The other nearest one you will find is about 25 minutes away in Beaumont tucked down Dowlan Road across from the Walmart.
After eating here a few times I can report to you that the mad crowd has died down meaning you do not have to wait for a parking place for an eternal time now. Peak meal times will deem these words of you begging to differ but it only gets better after time.
If you have never eaten at any one of the numerous Raising Cane’s restaurants you must heed that they only sell chicken strips in the form of your regular finger food or as a sandwich, nothing more, nothing less. Each order is accompanied with cole slaw (which I always find it a little dry but too crunchy to my taste), fresh crinkled french fries, garlic toast Texas style and their secret sauce that enhances your flavor bud experience.
The interior is filled with pictures and articles of what history of the restaurant along with some different array of other eye wonders like a disco ball, pictures of nostalgic personalities and such.
You can also find Raising Canes in other states like South Carolina, Louisiana (where it originated) and Virginia.
Raising Cane’s is a carrier of fountain drinks for your drinking disposal but for an extra .60 you can have your cup filled with fresh lemonade that is located behind the cashiers.

This is my first time to try this place. My daughter begged me to try this place. I would have to say I only give them 4 stars because they don’t have a bigger menu. Just chicken fingers. I will say my cashier was very polite and the restaurant was very clean. The tenders are very juicy, the batter is not to thick. The fries are just plain but the oh sooo soft toast more than made up for that. Coleslaw is good but let me tell you the best part… SWEET TEA! And when I say sweet tea, it is DAMN GOOD STUFF! I’m a huge sweet tea fan and this is probably the best liquid goodness I’ve ever had. I never eat tenders when I go out to grab a bite to eat but now I may just start.

I LOVED this canes. I literally have to say that every Canes employee I have ever met seem to be the happiest people on the face of the earth. I don’t know who helped us but after a long car drive, she was a breath of fresh air and just talking to all the customers as the left and even came over to ask how our chicken strips were! Simply amazing! I must also say that I have never been disappointed with a canes and have had it in TX, LA, VA and in SC. I have even had canes sauce delivered to me in a big jar all the way in San Diego, California! I am caniac and loyal for life! BEST CHICKEN FINGERS AND SAUCE EVER!

I’ve never had bad food here. My coworkers will tell you I go here all the time. From the sweet tea to the coleslaw and the sauce or toast, its all good!

I can’t possibly say enough good things about Raising Cane’s. It’s possible they’re like crack. I’ve heard it said that amazing things are like crack but having no experience to base that off of, I’ll just say their chicken fingers are crazy addictive and I may have to find a 12 step program for them.
I was THRILLED when they tore down the old KFC on Dowlen to make room for my latest diet breaker. So was my personal trainer, who gets paid by the number of sessions I have to do in order to work off the bliss that is Cane’s sauce. And they have a drive thru, so I no longer have to use my muscles to walk into Parkdale mall just to get my fix!
Raising Cane’s offers chicken strips, fries, coleslaw and garlic Texas toast. That’s it. Those are your only options, people, don’t come here expecting anything else. BECAUSE they only offer these items, they have perfected them beyond perfect. They have late night drive thru hours for your post imbibing pleasure.
Go. Go now, and take a picture of yourself. You’ll want to remember what your life was like, pre-​Raising Cane’s, because you’ll look back on it and ask yourself how you thought life was worth living before that first taste of crispy chicken fingers dipped in Cane’s sauce. Then come find me and we’ll go to a Caneiac’s Anonymous meeting together.
