It's top tier

>>16930349
>why is it so popular?
it's not popular.
it's just owned by a big company so they can expand indefinitely.

>>16930349
the sauce is really good, and the tendies are really good, ive heard some say they have dry tendies, but ive eaten them plain and theyre great

im dropping them though, idk if its company wide or my location, but quality control has gone down. forgot my texas toast, undercooked fries, tiny or missing tendies, you name it

>>16930371
Better than in n out fries or equally shit

>>16930371
>the sauce is really good
anon, there is no such things as a good sauce if it's mayo based.
please stop eating trash.

>>16930381
even undercooked they are way better than in n out, but man they used to be better, and one time they came slightly more overcooked than usual and it was heaven on earth i tell ya
>>16930384
fuck off

>>16930384
Raising Caines is good, idk why you're being such an autist about fried chicken of all things. Everybody likes chicken it's one of the few foods literally every culture on earth eats

>>16930366
No its not. The tendies aren't better than hand-battered tendies from any local brewhouse. The sides are closer to disappointing than decent, and the RNG for tender size is frustrating.

>>16930349
>they literally just sell tendies
What more do you need?

>>16930349
Save yourself the headache and just go to Freddy's for a burger and their fry sauce.

>>16930392
You must be a really really really picky eater or something. It's just chicken

>>16930389
>you're being such an autist about fried chicken
i don't remember mentioning the chicken in my post.
>>16930388
>fuck off
no.
i'm only trying to help you live better, anon.

>>16930394
Chicken patties? Maybe some grilled chicken of some kind? No mashed potatoes or rice?

>>16930394
cafe lattes

>>16930405
>rice
I found the non American

>>16930405
for food you eat while driving?

>>16930414
I bring a lasagna for my morning commute.

>>16930431
a hot pocket is not a lasagna.

>>16930442
YES IT IS!!!!

>>16930413
>hates rice
Sort yourself out

>>16930457
hot pocket is a sandwich.
lasagna is a cake.

>>16930349
Honestly have no idea how this chain survives. They're good, even above average, but if a place sells -only- one thing and isn't hands down the best buy a mile? I don't get it.

raising canes is great, i eat lots of it.

>>16930458
lol, i like rice, but no one in the usa is putting their fast food over rice ... cept maybe jollibee or some non american shit

>>16930476
we have a local chain called top bop that does really well. all they serve is stuff on rice.
but it's asian fusion in a city with a big asian/islander population, so

>tendies
This is a highly valuable commodity in USAian society

>cheapest combo meals are like $9
>25 tendies for $36
>fast food
Five Guys-tier.

>>16930349
Caniac sauce is garbage. Tendies need white gravy.

>>16930349
I was a fan when it was $7 for the Caniac Combo. Now it's closer to $11.

That shits bland as fuck.

>>16930369
>it's just owned by a big company so they can expand indefinitely.
I hate it so much when this happens.

>>16930398
not the guy you're replying too
but sometimes you just want to make it as best as possible
like really really go the distance
going old school gmo and selectively breeding the chickens
every single ingredient specially grown to its perfection

One time I asked for an extra cup of sauce and they gave me a drink cup full of sauce.

>>16930840
You pissed off impatient workers. Congrats.

>>16930349
they do one thing and they do it decently

>>16930384
>anon, there is no such things as a good sauce if it's mayo based.
please stop eating trash.
Maybe you should understand that different people have different tastes, anon.

>>16931017
>Noooooo!!!1
> I need soi!!

>>16931032
there's no fucking soy in mayo why are you fucktards so soy obsessed jfc

>>16931042
Because of you shit boi picky eaters.
You thrive on gay ass non foods.

>>16931042
JFC International is a big importer of Asian foods including but not limited to, soy products.

>>16930349
The chicken is alright, the sides are meh. The only good thing there is the sauce. I would rather eat at Popeye's.

>>16930349
It's just a meme like Popeyes, don't get your hopes up anon. It's chicken tenders, bread and mayo. Don't believe the hype. I fell for that shit.

>>16930349
I dunno, I like the chicken and the sauce. Not really much else to say. It's way better than Zaxby's, I guess, if you've ever had that.

>>16932441
man, i do admit i love the popeyes chicken sandwich, but their regular(or spicy) tenders are the driest meat ive ever had

>>16930840
>>16930851
You can buy small cups of Cane's sauce, but they also sell it in 20 oz. cups as well if you want a bunch to like, put in a squeeze bottle or whatever.

I always sub out the coleslaw and toast for extra fries, you end up getting a ton.

>>16932471
Personally I just go with no slaw extra toast, because I find you get plenty enough fries with a box meal anyhow

>>16931052
>Hates mayo because it has soy (it doesn't)
>>16931376
>A company imports soy products so that means everything they carry has soy in it
Mongoloids.

It's one of those things that used to be good, and its reputation hasn't taken a proportional hit to its decline in quality.

I had it once when I was in the USA and I really enjoyed it. The chicken tenders were about as good as a chicken tender can get, sauce was nice, fries weren't bad (nothing to write home about), toast was extraneous. I liked it overall and I would be pleased if one opened up near my house.

>>16930729
Hello friend, you've unknowingly committed one of the three cardinal Cane's sins, the other two of which are not substituting your slaw for extra sauce and not opening the styrofoam box when you get a to-go order to prevent sog: eating the tendies plain.

You see, Raising Cane's is a delicate, delectable balancing act of flavors, temperatures, and textures. Every item that comes with a meal is intended to be chained together. The tendie should ALWAYS be covered in some sauce, and you should ALWAYS follow up a bite with a french fry, a sip of your Arnold Palmer, some Texas toast, or a mix-and-match of the three. This gets you an immediate difference in sensation and flavor to compare against the scorching-hot chicken, tempered only by the cold, creamy sauce, much like pairing wine with cheese, to the betterment of both. There are many correct ways to enjoy the modern culinary jazz experience that is Cane’s, you’ve just so happened to pick the single incorrect one.

Make no mistake, Cane's tendies are consistently piping-hot, the fries are consistently salted, the sauce tastes the exact same way every time. The food comes out near instantly, the tea and lemonade are always fresh, and the employees will always give you the exact same amount of ice. Why, you might ask? Because to the seasoned eater, these are the perfect ratios of heat, of crunch, of quench for a melange that is as perfect as it is fairly priced, one that is limited only by your imagination and your understanding of all of my previous points.

I understand and sympathize with your error—many have made it in the past, and many will make it in the future. But surely the 30-car drive-thru, the rave reviews, the completely full parking lot, and the stalwart Cane’s customer loyalty are evidence of some larger disconnect between you and them beyond opinion.

Thanks for reading, and have a blessed day!

>>16930366
It's basic level tendies. So no.

>>16931032
>>16931052
mayo everything is garbage, he's right.

>>16930349
It's not amazing desu but it's solid. Their best thing is the sauce and the toast is good too.

>>16932883
Based canes shill

lose weight

>>16930349
Have you ever thought of tasting it before casting judgement?

>>16930413
popeyes sells red beans and rice, what now?

>>16930349
chicken is juicy and tender and the batter is amazing
that's all you need to be a good restaurant

>MUH TENDIES
My god, chicken tenders faggots are an embarrassment. If your fried chicken doesn't have bones in it fuck it.

>>16935112
Popeyes is Job since to prove your loyalty to it your bowels suffer

>>16930349
Tendies are pretty good but always too hot to eat when you get them. They're usually cooked well and not overcooked. Just wish the slaw and sauce portions weren't so small. And I hate that you have to get bread and a drink with it. I never want bread or a soda and just want the slaw and chicken but it's no where near the price i'd like to pay. The fries are ok but i can live without those as well.

>>16930349
You live in Elk Grove? One's opening in my city too.

>>16935112
I want to try their lemonade but it costs extra.

>>16935156
Just had that happen a week ago when someone bought me popeyes. Hadn't had it in years and it tasted pretty good but the cramps afterward were not fun.

>>16930397
Raising Cane's is the shit white people restaurant. Its over brined chicken tenders dipped in a near spiceless mayo and coleslaw. The owners got Peanuts posted everyone, and thinks the family dog is a great mascot.

Freddy's is great white people food. Its got pretty good burgers and ice cream, they've got fry sauce in jalapeno and regular. It feels like somewhere your grandpa would have taken you after school.

The first time I tried raising canes when one opened near me in the midwest last summer, I thought something was wrong with the texas toast.

I was expecting crispy, buttery, garlic toast because that's the only kind I ever had and instead got something soft, sweet, and moist.

>>16935286
this is the one thing I don't get, cane's and DQ have this and I don't understand the point of it. it's not even toast, it's literally just fucking bread

>>16935300
I mean it's not terrible, but it's so different from what I would consider "texas toast". Like, has my entire life been a lie?

>>16935300
DQ does this because they dip that same bread in flavoring and cut it up into cubes when someone orders strawberry shortbread icecream.

>>16930349
They're pretty good tenders (breading is flaky and meat is moist) and it's fast and simple. I agree they don't offer a lot but that's part of the appeal.

>>16930384
>anon, there is no such things as a good sauce if it's mayo based
Most dipping sauces are.

>>16935249
>Freddy's is great white people food
A black guy turned me on to Freddy's. Go figure

>>16930349
They have honey mustard secretly, that's why

>>16932883
praise todd

i work at canes. ask away

>>16930349
>try chemical food
Why are americans like this?

>>16930349
I went there one time and ordered 4 piece meal. Immediately after eating it, I felt a tightness in my chest and thought I was dying. Haven’t been back since.

>>16932463
popeyes tenders are a vehicle for their blackened ranch.

>>16935300
>>16935318
Have you ever been to the south? The mouthbreathing retards down here call white bread “toast”

>>16935990
based blackened ranch connoisseur, i can never get the popeyes wagies to give me more than 3 packs, even after saying ill pay extra for more
