| - The first time we went to a Raising Cane's, we got it at the drive through window and I wasn't terribly impressed. There are so many options for fast food in the valley that you can be selective! Fast forward a couple of years and we decided to give it another try. What can I say, it was in the right place at the right time.
The menu is really simple. If it helps, this is like In-N-Out Burger for chicken fingers. You can have fingers, fries, cole slaw, Texas toast, and a drink: soft drinks from the fountain or un/sweet tea. Freshly-squeezed lemonade is an upgrade. You can get the pre-defined bundles ("boxes") or build your own by selecting the number of items a la carte from the menu. The kids meals come with a "prize" and there is a sandwich: chicken fingers served on a bun.
We have eaten in the restaurant both times so far and the chicken has always come out hot -- sometimes so hot that it needs some time to cool off. Not a bad thing. The cole slaw has some crunch to it (also a good thing), and the Texas toast is fresh. They did forget the add-on toast on the kids meal, but it was not a problem to resolve that. The fries are not my favorite thing, nor are they anything special, but they're usually OK.
My wife and I noticed that they keep the place really clean: almost as fast as people can get up from the tables, an employee is out cleaning it off for the next person.
The sweet tea is plentiful and tastes fresh. Apparently, it is brewed several times a day and they use pure cane (ha!) sugar.
