Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers

Cane’s!!! I dream about you ever so often. Love canes. One of the most simple yet tasty menus. The sauce is like crack. It always get extra, one is not enough for all my tenders and fries! Sweet tea also very tasty!

For this being my first time eating at this place, I definitely could go without in the future. The food was hot when I got it. However, the chicken wasn’t all that great. It didn’t seem to have much flavor. The dipping sauce seemed to be a mixture of thousand island mixed with something else. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was mixed with. The texas toast was probably the best part of the meal. I have to say the sweet tea was pretty good. I probably won’t eat another canes again but that’s just my opinion.

Nothing like the one in Las Vegas (On Vegas blvd). The sweet tea was the best part, the chicken had no flavor, the cane sauce wasn’t good and the toast usually is the best thing man had ever made but definitely fell short. Over all I was a little disappointed because I Avent had canes on many years and what I was expecting was not what I got, and I’m actually sad about it. Oh btw I ordered the 3 finger box.

Steer clear of the Cane’s Galleria location. In a rush for a quick bite, I went there today while in the Galleria and bought a child’s pack. The chicken fingers were so greasy that we used several napkins to blot them. Since it didn’t work, I took them back to the counter and the young lady said it was very greasy because they probably didn’t fry them long enough. Stuff happens, but when the employees can’t think of a ‘reasonable’ explanation, its ridiculous. Turns out there wasn’t enough batter on the chicken which is a quality control issue. And, surely they could see how extra extra greasy it was and should not have served it. Another quality control and training issue. All they do is fried chicken, get it right. The chicken didn’t have any taste either. I know its fast food, but non-​Galleria Cane’s locations have seemingly better trained/​quality employees. I probably won’t go back because of how it was handled and the quality was bad. But the lady who took the order was very nice and friendly.

The chicken is just ok, the only thing they have going for them is their sauce. The service is always great and friendly. Wish they would come out with some spicy chicken.

The wait time is longer here. Happy that it is in a corner, a little less worry about long lines and congested spaces, however the preparation and wait time is longer since it seems they make it when you order it instead of a quicker response inside the restaurants. Will definitely come back again since I have the card for a more thorough review upon my second visit since I felt annoyed my first visit about the wait time.

just okay. nothing to rave about… didnt taste the difference at all. whats nice is you get a slice of toasted garlic bread and really good dipping sauce.

It is what it is! From what I know, the mall’s food court is nothing special, so don’t expect anything otherwise.
The chicken fingers seem to literally come right from the deep fryers so DON’T touch your food right away. It needs a few minutes to chill. Nothing too special. A bit oily. Maybe if they let the chicken fingers be properly drained of their cooking oil we might not have our fingers burned!
I don’t see what the hypes all about for cane’s sauce. Its nice and tangy, but nothing I would hype over.
The Texas toast is nice and buttery. The fries are bland/​semi-​salty.
Overall, its a quick fix.
Get your food, eat it, then spend the next 2 – 3 hours running around the mall to burn a fraction of the calories you’ve just consumed!

Better than chicken nuggets and sponsoring hate speech from Chick Fil A. Seriously, fuck Chick Fil A.
I never would have known this place existed had I not been forced with the burden of finding a replacement for everyone to eat at that was not chicken with a side of homophobic proselytizing Jesus that Chick Fil A offers up.
In that respect, Cane’s is five stars. I bet I could have kissed ten guys in line and nobody would have refused to take my money for chicken or preached to me about Jesus. The same cannot be said of Chick Fil A. So that bought Cane’s an extra star since aptly, they just don’t give a fuck. And that is how it should be for people trying to buy chicken and stuff it in their face. Here is cash money, hand over chicken, and we part ways forever. Transaction over!
The food is … well, Southern. The chicken is fried. Phonetically: day-​ppp fry-​uhhh-​ed. It doesn’t appear to be the «paste» loosely resembling chicken toothpaste that is fashioned into chicken nuggets with «big food» fast food restaurants. But it is also not high quality Southern deep fried chicken like Bubba’s back in Dallas (University Park) or slightly less awesome but still decent, at Frenchy’s over in third ward holla’
The fries were meh. They are at least the crinkley cut kind. So they have that going for them. But they get, you know, water logged and limp quickly. They are not bursting with flavor in your mouth. They are serviceable I suppose.
The chicken is on the same wavelength. It will do. It won’t start whistling and clean your dirty dishes, but if you are hungry and you have to eat fried chicken with people (ohmygod why does this have to happen to me so often, twice in two weeks now) then Cane’s is the best you can do in the Galleria/​Uptown area.
If you go to Chick Fil A instead you are supporting evil. Not the cool kind of evil like Voldemort — the bad kind of evil like people that hurt the kitties you see on the ASPCA commercial with the Alanis Morrissette sad track playing as they show you a kitty without an ear. Do you want to be responsible for that? Then eat at Chick Fil A you filthy husk of a human.

I do not like to write much about restaurants that don’t make me happy. This place really disappointed me. So lets keep it basic…
Fries = Plain, No flavor, Soggy
Chicken = Bland, you better have ketchup or ranch ready!
Bread = Tough and boring.
Don’t eat Canes, Eat Popeyes!

The food situation in the Galleria can be bleak for us mall-​dwellers. Bland, greasy and flavorless unless you go upscale, even locations of familiar restaurants in the food court can be depressing and occasionally hostile (*cough* SUBWAY *cough*). Fortunately, Raising Cane’s is here to help.
Yes, there’s a location just down the road on Westheimer, so why do we need a second store in the mall? Anybody who works in the Galleria and knows the hell that is getting in and out of contract parking knows that’s a laughable suggestion. Even if you somehow return to the garage within your allotted lunch break, good luck finding a space. So when Cane’s opened up, it was like a breath of fresh air.
Nestled right next to the Sanrio store, Cane’s offers a pretty limited menu of chicken fingers, fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and their special Cane’s sauce. This no-​frills approach enables them to focus on what they’re good at without being distracted by salads, fusion dishes or any other kind of unnecessary fireworks. «The Box» comes with that yummy, buttery Texas Toast, three chicken fingers made from all-​breast meat, crinkle-​cut fries that bring to mind the Ore-​Ida of yore, and Cane’s secret peppery sauce.
Raising Cane’s has adopted the Chick-​Fil-​A method of aggressively friendly customer service. The people behind the counter, mostly young folks, look like they’re having a great time, and I witnessed two actually high-​five between orders. The manager is constantly stalking the lunch floor, looking for patrons to direct to the cash registers, gathering up trash and being generally welcoming. (His smiling picture’s on the board, so I guess he’s got to be «on» all the time.) My coworker and I were startled, yet pleased, when he came over and asked us what we were drinking so he could pick us up some refills. That’s impressive service for a place where you order at the counter.
If there’s one thing I can say Cane’s can work on, it’s their ordering system. People end up in a jumble waiting for their food and waiting to order, and you can forget about trying to pass through that area without dodging hungry lunch-​goers. However, as this store is less than a week old, and with the manager as seemingly on the ball as he is, I’m sure they’ll iron out any creases shortly.
Cane’s is a welcome addition to my Galleria lunch rota, as it’s both affordable and food that is Not Depressing. Thank you, Fates, for listening to my plea. I may not be a full-​blown Caniac, but I definitely have a crush on Raising Cane’s.
