A Review

 

There has been local excitement recently as an old empty restaurant building was torn down and new construction started near our neighborhood.  Eventually word was out that it was going to be a "Raising Cane's" chicken spot.  People were raving about it and anxious for it to open.  

Well, it has opened.  Every day there were police on duty and flashing lights and disrupted traffic, and as we would drive by we could see the very long drive-through lines. You would think they were giving away gold in there!

Les and I decided to try this supposedly fabulous chicken one evening.  But he ordered online and I went to pick it up and we skipped the extremely long lines at the drive-through.  Fortunately, they have ample accessible parking spots right by the door, so no problem.  The hard part of getting the order was having to go inside through a mass of people to fill the empty drink cups, and carry them in the not-sturdy carrier they provided.  You order the drinks with your food, but they do not fill the cups for you.

I figured I wanted to see what exactly their food was like so I ordered the basic combo.  Les did, too.

And here is my review:  Yes, they were very good chicken tenders.  No problem there.  The cole slaw tasted "funny", not sure exactly what was in it, but neither of us ate it all.   The French fries were not cooked long enough.  The Texas toast was a tad soggy and tough.  And the flimsy drink carrier didn't hold up and tipped over in the car.  If we have Cane's again, it will be to just get the chicken tenders; as I said they were very good!

Life is good.  Take care of yourselves. Remember, don't believe everything you hear.  

And God Bless America!
