For our final stop on our way home from Chicago, we decided to finally check out Raising Cane's. We popped in just before lunchtime and the place was already about half full with hungry folks like us. I noticed an option to order on a self-serve monitor, so I went with that and got three chicken fingers and the Cane's Sauce. I hit the bathroom and by the time I got out, my food was ready. And wouldn't you know it, but it was seriously delicious. The chicken was obviously freshly fried because it was piping hot, and boy did it ever hit the spot. The breading is perfectly spiced and that sauce provided a tasty, tangy accompaniment. I'm a little sad that Raising Cane's hasn't come to Canada because they're obviously serving a superior product. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The 3 Finger Combo - Fast Food Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

My fiance and I were in Lansing for work and definitely made a point to stop by Raising Cane's before hitting the road back to GR. I placed our order online, thankful that I was able to use Apple Pay on their site, and we stopped in ColdStone right next door. By the time we were out of ColdStone (about 10 mins), our food was ready! This location is on the corner of the street and has a walk up window. Super convenient! I was easily able to pick up our food without having to go inside. The food itself was hot and fresh. I ordered a Box combo and he got the Caniac combo and I actually got more pieces of chicken than he did! The chicken itself, flavor wise, could use a bit more seasoning but the Cane's sauce and the Texas toast definitely help it. The menu is very simple which makes it pretty easy to order. You basically decide how many pieces of chicken fingers you want or a sandwich haha. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back here for something quick to eat! read more

First time at this location, but I've lived in Texas and it is nothing like what I'm used to. The fries were dried, the chicken was not crispy. The service was fast, but the staff is not as energetic and peppy as other locations. Would probably not be back any time soon to this location. read more

My first time trying Raising Cane's! It was solid! The chicken itself was very juicy and served hot. The breading could have been crispier. The peppery tangy sauce, Texas toast, and coleslaw were all good. Fries were pretty salty. What takes this review down a little was the cleanliness. Location was pretty busy, and open tables were messy. The waiting area by the bathrooms had a bit of a smell and one of the two single use bathrooms was out of toilet paper. read more

Chicken fingers lovers unite! Been here a handful of times since it opened and have only had one slightly off experience, breading was just a little soggy once. Aside from that, the food has always been super fresh and delicious and served at an efficient pace no matter how busy they are! Also, as far as vibes go, this place has got it. It's super vibrant and lively inside with lots of fun decor! Only slight complaint is how cramped it can get when you dine in during a rush. Overall, this place is definitely worth stopping in if you're hungry for chicken fingers, just maybe go when it's less busy! read more

No complaints about the taste of the food! Great addition to Michigan and they were pretty fast with my food! Only thing with this was that they forgot one of my pieces of toast! A little unfortunate but wasn't too mad about it! I'd recommend trying a raising canes if you haven't already! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Caniac combo and 4 tenders on the side - Fast Food Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Their food is literally disgusting here. It is ALWAYS soggy. Why pay $20 for soggy chicken and fries. The upper management there are super incompetent and unfriendly too. Don't expect a manager to act friendly towards you or even look your way or be nice. Crew members are the only thing keeping that place alive. The restaurant itself is pretty disgusting. Don't look at the pop machine too closely, underneath is just black and sticky. I'll be definitely taking my business to Dave's hot chicken and I advise any one else too. This place definitely is not the same raising canes from down south. 0/10 read more

Trash service! This was my first and last time going to a raising canes. I was in town for the football game and went to get some food after meeting up with friends. From the minute I approached the storefront and inquired if this was in fact the line I was confronted by two men in plane clothes attire standing directly in front of the two entry doors. I later learned they were security guards. As I began to move to the back of the line the black security guard grabbed my shoulder aggressively. When asked why he indicated I was going to run in to the manager who was walking behind. Two things: first if that was the case I'm certain the manager who was walking behind me could have circumvented the situation by pausing and 2) I don't believe security should ever touch a customer unless they are preventing a crime or physical altercation. Finally, when I confronted the security guard he was cavalier and unapologetic. I'm disappointed that this type of interaction could be happening to other young college girls every night, and this man is not held accountable. This is a college campus and if you're gonna work security you need to be comfortable dealing with young women and particularly kids. This behavior was extremely unacceptable. In addition to this review. I plan on writing to the corporate office. This is not the experience I want anyone connected to Michigan State University to encounter. read more

Went for the first time for dinner. Selection was slim but easy to order. Service was quick and food was good. The ambiance was to be expected for fast food and the place was clean. Would go back again. read more

Raising Cane's should win an award for best chicken fingers!!! The food is just IRRESISTIBLE! I love the red, classic look of the restaurant! It is a shame there is not one near me. The closest one is in Canton,MI-about half an hour away from me. The food is out so unbelievably quick. I'm not joking when I say it was out in less than a minute. I got the Box Combo, the perfect amount of food fit for me in a combo. The chicken is SO crispy making for the PERFECT breading. The fries have a great texture and taste sooooo good. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE TOAST! It tastes like Texas toast on another level! As someone who does not like sauces at all it is an honor to say I do not mind the canes sauce! However, 5 star food doesn't always come with 0 complaints. I really think they need to expand their menu. It feels like there is only 10 things to choose from... I know many vegetarians are not going to chicken fingers spots, but they did not put in any effort to include vegetarian options. There is only 3 THINGS that are vegetarian! I cannot be the only one who noticed, please take this into consideration when you're making changes. Aside from the amount of options, 5 star food! Keep it up Canes!!! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The Box Combo To-go - Fast Food Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Food is alright. Can't have it to much or it gets hella old. The service is good, but that loud megaphone they use sometime is so annoying. Also sometime they have a guard posted up. I feel nice and safe. Nothing crazy. Just chicken, but the Texas toast read more

First time trying Raising Canes! I tried to go a few times in SoCal, but the lines were too long. This is a new location and it looks like the staff are still learning, but people were polite and the food came out quickly. No wait at all. I don't usually review places until I eat there a couple of times. But, there is no disputing that the chicken is delicious!! Super tender, that was my first thought and all the pieces were tender. The other great quality is the crunch!! The flavor is also on-point. I like the sauce and the fries. I would probably get the four piece box next time to get the slaw as well. I don't live around here and I am already looking forward to my next round of golden, juicy, tasty chicken tenders! read more

The first Raising Cane's in Michigan is open. I've heard of this chain but never tried it, so Nate and I stopped by this new East Lansing location recently. There was a line out the door, and a security guard managing the flow of entry. Once we got inside, the line snaked around the side of the restaurant. I think we only waited about 15 minutes in line. They do have a walk up window for mobile pickup orders, but the online ordering system said they were overloaded and we'd have to wait a little longer than usual. I didn't mind the line, but it was definitely crowded inside and a bit chaotic. They had only been open for about four days at this point, so it was understandable. We ordered the box combo, which comes with four tenders, crinkle fries, a side of Cane's sauce, a piece of Texas toast, coleslaw, and a drink. There was an employee calling out order names over a loud speaker which was really helpful as it was pretty noisy in there. It was super cramped in the restaurant with lots of people waiting and people looking for their mobile orders on a shelf near the pickup area for takeout or dine in. The orders were coming out steadily, and I had my food in about another 15 minutes. We decided to walk across the street to a picnic table since it was so crowded inside. Most of the chicken tenders were a good size but they weren't as crispy as I would have liked. One of the tenders was kind of small compared to the others. As far as fast food chicken tenders go, these were very good. They could have used more seasoning, and I didn't find the sauce to be that flavorful. The fries were salty and hot. I didn't try the coleslaw but Nate said it was okay, and the Texas toast was a little soggy. Overall this was fun to try but I don't need to run back any time soon. read more

Cane's is the best. I have visited a few more times since the first review. I have now tried most of their menu, lol, since there are really only a few things to try. I understand why people are obsessed, we are too. This place is so good. On the way home the other day we stopped here for some dinners to take home since we do not live close by, but it re-heats very well. I have learned a few new things too. They design and decorate each Cane's differently depending on the location. This one is fun, has a great vibe, small, but there are usually spots to sit. We came earlier in the year for the Post Malone cups. During Christmas they had some fun merch I wish I bought. I have tried their sweet tea. It was some of the best sweet tea I have tasted. I also like their slaw, very creamy. But I heard you could get double toast, so this time I got a box with four strips, double toast, and fries. I love their toast, very slow, chewy, and flavorful. While the fries are not as crispy as Culver's or Shake Shack, they are solid fries and go well with the sauce. I also learned that you can get the meal deal boxes minus the drinks. The kids wanted a drink, but since I was doing a carry-out for later, I did not want mine, so they can take that part off and not charge you. As always, the people working here are pleasant, friendly, and helpful. Since this is a major household favorite, we will road trip back over here for more soon. read more

Usually got decent chicken, but i noticed the place start to fall behind last two times I went. Waited 25 minutes and had to ask the front people where my order was, somewhere got lost, no discount or anything just told us to wait again. Then we got our food and they forgot to give us our bread. Wont be coming back for a while. WAY to busy as well, expect to not be able to get a seat. read more

Just so happen to be in the area do came here for lunch. Just chicken fingers, chicken sandwich and fries on the menu. Chicken tenders are really good (more on the smaller side), fries are cool and cane sauce is famous. If you are chicken tenders only then this is your place. read more

Fast food chain restaurant - it hit on all expectations. I was hungry and it was late. It was walking distance so enjoyed a chicken dinner. I cannot say winner, but it checked the boxes. I must have hit this at the moment all the college students had cravings as the line was long. Thankfully, it moved somewhat quickly. read more

Best fast food in the world always a great time. Unlike Dave's hot chicken that is a horrible establishment

If you plan on coming to this location, I highly suggest coming at a reasonable time during the day because it does get very packed here. On the upside the food comes out pretty fast once you order, so you will just need a little patience and you will good to go. The chicken is always fresh and crispy, and ready to be dipped in the signature sauce. read more

Pretty good chicken fingers. This location is on MSU's campus. Parking is a headache!!!! Pricing is expensive for any type of chicken now-a-days. Tenders were flavored and cooked to perfection. The fries were nice and hot. I especially enjoyed the special sauce. Service was quick and effortless. Clean inviting location outside of the parking situation. Can't wait until there are more locations in Michigan. Not gonna drive to East Lansing too often. read more

Fast friendly service and the chicken tenders were perfect, moist chicken and crispy batter!

I have always wanted to try Raising Cane's and I'm glad I did! It reminds me of Zaxby's. My chicken and Texas toast were really good and my fries were pretty good. What makes it is the Cane's sauce, which again is similar to Zax Sauce. I enjoyed my meal and would go back. The service was very quick and my food was hot! Casual feel. The restaurant was somewhat loud but was very busy. Recommend giving them a try! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Seriously so bad. I ordered it for pick up and they messed up quite literally everything I ordered. Didn't give me my water but gives me 4 sauces in replace for the waters. Everything lukewarm. Don't order and actually go in there or else they are just shoving stuff in the bag read more

They were out of coleslaw had to add extra fries, a bit bummed about that. Still, the strips came through, sauce was great. Not many strip places around so I was happy when work brought me close to Lansing. Spot is a bit tight, everyone was kinda crammed by the soda fountain waiting to get their order. They did have seating available. Service was good, didn't wait too long. Will definitely be back. read more

The place is right in the heart of Grand River and opened last midnight which is great. The lines are long but the service is super fast. The chicken and fries itself it crispy but it doesn't really have much flavor. It's pretty bland chicken. The lemonade is pretty good and has more flavor than the chicken and fries. read more

Line out the door. Waited in line about 20 minutes. Staff were nice. Weird lock on restroom door, had to weave my way through the crowded people in line to go up front and ask for a combination code to get into the restroom. Chicken and fries were just okay. They were freshly cooked but very much on the bland side. read more

Chicken was crispy (could've been crispier but we drove home with it so I'm sure that didn't help) and moist. Fries had a very strong potato flavor - yum. Sauce was good. Can't speak on the coleslaw because they forgot it. I would get this again. If you're not familiar with the area, yeah - parking sucks. It's always busy. It's right across from MSU. Don't come here if you aren't prepared for all that entails. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - Four piece combo - Fast Food Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Wanted to taste the hype lol. The service was okay. I can say a lot about the food but surprisingly the Chicken is the least I'm gonna talk about. The Texas toast was warm and soft and had a good toast to it especially when dipped in the Cane sauce. The fries were mediocre. Nothing too amazing and so was the chicken. The sweet tea was really good and refreshing. I'd say it's worth trying once or twice but not a lot of reason bringing me back to eat there. read more

Superb read more

The food came out really fast for a college town, but the taste isn't the same. I've had Canes in Chicago and it just doesn't taste the same. There's flavor there but it not enough. The vibe was good tho I had a good time with my friends. Toast was amazing as usual though. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 3 Piece Combo - Fast Food Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I have only had Cane's once before, over a decade ago in Columbus. After a nostalgia night in East Lansing, reliving some great memories from college with some great people, we ended up at Canes. We definitely beat the late night rush and didn't have to wait too long. The tenders were delicious as I remember them being. The fries and toast were also top notch. For late night food in East Lansing, Cane's is solid. I would assume it has become the replacement for some other frequented establishments that have left downtown East Lansing over the last few years. I'm very glad to see Cane's in a place that had been vacant for several years prior. read more

The only Raising Cane's in Michigan-- worth the drive. In my opinion, better than Chick Fil A. It is a busy location being the only one and also on MSU's campus but overall, staff was super sweet too. read more

THE BEST CHICKEN TENDERS IN THE USA. Their sauce is perfect, chicken is perfect, ice is perfect it's just all perfect. Oh the Texas toast dipped in the sauce is next level. They have a cool disco ball in the center of the restaurant that is pretty cool. There's not much more that can be said, do you love a good chicken tender? With amazing dipping sauce? Then this is your place. read more

Fast service, but it's overpriced and under-flavored. Plus this is the WORST location! Zero parking and all the ambiance of a typical corporate chain (that is to say virtually none). Skip the hype. Go to KFC or Popeye's instead. Better food, lower prices, and actual parking spots. read more

My family and I have loved canes for years now and were glad to finally see one in East Lansing. However, we were at Canes for my youngest son Trevor's 9th birthday. While we were waiting in line the man in front of us farted (completely normal bodily function) but that wasn't the concerning part. The employee taking over jumped over the counter and proceeded to bury his nose in the man's rectum. He continued to beg for more and more farts that he could get a "little sniff" of. My children watched in horror as they couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Long story short we have signed up my children for therapy. I recommend the chicken sandwich to those who haven't tried it! read more
