| - If I'm being honest, I've gotta say I have more respect for a restaurant that focuses on making only one thing well, than I have for places with a huge menu of mediocre offerings.
There's quite a few restaurants these days rocking the simplified menu, but I don't think any do it as well as Cane's. All they serve is fried chicken strips, and a chicken strip sandwich. Basically the only choice you have to make is how many strips you want for your meal.
I find with the sides, the standard 4 strip box combo is perfectly filling for me (and I'm a pretty big guy). The chicken is simple, but delicious and juicy. The fries are plain ol' crinkle cut, but they compliment the chicken wonderfully. You also get a side of coleslaw (decent), and a thick slice of Texas toast (awesome).
You get a cane's sauce with your meal but I recommend ordering an extra side because it's actually really good. I've always been a fan of dipping my chicken strips in ranch and I was disappointed to find that cane's doesn't have it. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with this stuff however. I'm not sure what's in it, but it's creamy like ranch, with a nice little zest added.
Their sweet tea is awesome! I like to mix it with regular iced tea so it's a little more subtle and not too sweet.
When Cane's is on a good day, you're food will come out incredibly hot. It's very rare for me to receive anything less than hot food, but I have been served warm strips and fries before. It was disappointing, but I haven't experienced this very often, and even when warm, the chicken is still pretty great. With the exception of a few off days, cane's is pretty consistent, which is a big reason I love the place.
I want to give a five star rating, but until cane's can guarantee hot,fresh food every time, I think four is the best I can do (which is still really great).
