I'm out here visiting my parents, some friends from home have said we need to try Raising Canes. So much so that it was to the point of annoying. Just to appease them when I get home, my mom, sister and I decided to stop and try them out. When we got to the front of the line we told the gal that it was our first time. She went thru our options, recommending the box because it came with a little bit of everything. Behind her, the manager turned around and asked where we were from. Told him San Diego, and he started telling us all about the expansion plans they have. And he's right, there are a couple opening near us very soon. He then turned to the window, said something to the person in the kitchen, and turned around with a strip and sauce for us to try while we decided. We were all shocked! When was the last time anyone gave you something for free at a chain restaurant? We ordered and sat down. The manager came by after we had received our food to check in. It was a great experience. The food was yummy and the staff was super friendly! Will definitely be going back again. And our friends at home.... the win this round.
