Raising Canes Sucks

If Cane's had additional sauce options and side options I think it would be better. Only having one sauce and then having mediocre sides like unseasoned fries, soggy lettuce (coleslaw), and Texas toast just doesn't do anything for me.

Canes and Slim Chickens are actively bad. The breading is flavorless and mealy. Chick-Fil-A is a hair better, but still not great. Popeyes is just so far above all of them. Glad the Ankeny one’s opening.

Popeyes sides suck.
I will say that Cane’s toast is good, and fries are above average in the sauce. Popeyes has incredible biscuits, but I agree that the rest of their sides are not good. I never even bother ordering a basket of anything, since I can’t finish just the chicken portion and would only throw the fries away.

If you don't like crinkle cut fries, coleslaw or Texas toast, Raisin Canes may not be the place for you.
 
I mean every one I go to has a double line around the building, if not also down the street to get it so I think they must be doing something right.

I love Canes, I do wish they had a different sauce or 2 but for fast food chick strips they are pretty good.

The couple times I had Chick fil et I wasnt impressed at all. I am not going to say they arent good because I have only had a couple things a couple times there, but what I did have was just ok. Slim Chickens is Ok I think Canes has better chicken fingers but Slims has more options and sides. Popeyes is decent too, although I have only been there I think 1 time so not a lot of experience there either. Hope to get Zaxbys sometime, just whenever I have had the chance had others along that wanted something else.

Its chicken fingers, its in the name, its all they do, and they are fast, If you go there expecting something else thats on you.

Still to this day the best Chicken fingers I have ever had have been Charley Biggs Chicken fingers that they have at a small mom and pop gas station In Lake Mills. If you are ever in Lake Mills do yourself a favor and stop in Don's Motor Mart and try them. Not sure I have ever heard a single person that doesnt like them.

Charley Biggs is a franchise and Don's also has Godfathers to go.
 
Cane's is fried chicken for people who don't care for spices or seasoning.

For the rest of us, there are far better places like Zaxby's, Popeyes, or Bojangles. Though sometimes you have to make sure you find a good one. There are a lot of bad locations of each of those chains.
 
I like it if I specifically want fast food chicken strips, and I like their strips better than chick fil a's strips, but I agree there's better chicken out there.

As someone else said, if you are in the Des Moines area, Charlotte's Kitchen for the win.

I like Cane's because the chicken is usually very moist and that is #1 in my book. Their sides are mediocre though.
I was excited to try Zaxby's but didn't like it all. Just one time so can't really 100% judge probably.
 
God I miss these
