I went because of the hype, and I don't understand it AT ALL. Tenders were bland and not as crispy as I'd like. Fries were limp and soggy, no seasoning. The sauce "saved" the meal but it still wasn't very tasty. I don't get it!! Bread was good, though! read more

I'm fairly new to Canes but think they have the best chicken strips in the business. So why only three stars? Because 2 of the strips in my Caniac Combo were undercooked. Besides that, I enjoyed the others and also liked the fries and Texas toast. I'm lukewarm on the Canes sauce, but the strips are really tasty enough to not need sauce anyway - and that speaks volumes! read more

Soooo disappointed ! Pros The Sauce The toast Cons Amount of food versus cost Quality of the food - soggy , under cooked , the chicken strips were rubbery Drive thru wait time Cleanliness of the establishment Packaging (the use of plastic containers without a wax sheet creates a moisture barrier and the food is soggy read more

This was my first time visiting the Waldorf, MD location. The food was hot!! I do think the tenders could've been cooked a tad bit longer. The line to order my food wasn't long and the young lady taking the order was fast and friendly. It was clean and the bathroom was also clean! I'd visit this location again! read more

Very clean with awesome decorations and great seating options both inside and out. I would totally give a 5-star review if the chicken was better, it was rubbery but smelled and tasted good. I really liked having lunch here, I am not into fast food but with sever Alpha Gal Syndrome, it is great to have a safe mammal free option. read more

I really don't see the hype about this place, but my fiancé was curious so he stopped by. The nuggets were just OK and I can't believe they charge extra for dipping sauce. Actually the best thing about this meal was the dipping sauce, which I feel can be redone using a copycat recipe on Pinterest. No thanks. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish read more

I personally don't like or eat at canes, I always have a problem/issue when I come here. but my wife does On Tuesday September 2 at 3:31 pm at the canes located in Waldorf. The person taking the order from the drive-thru speaker was very rude , like I was taking too long for her and asked three times what can I help you with, after placing my order and her repeating it back to me two times.(I ordered a three piece meal with an iced tea lemonade mix) and received a Dr Pepper, I didn't realize it until I arrived home. read more

Yes the line appeared long when we first approached the drive through. The young lady that took our order was very friendly and quickly put our order in. The line moved pretty fast. We went straight home and ate. The tenders were hot and fresh! The chicken tender sandwich was also hot and fresh. I enjoyed the dipping sauce. I did use some bbq sauce from home (chick-fil-a), which I wish they had some as an option. I will definitely be back for a quick bite! The fresh squeezed lemonade and sweet tea were also good. I appreciated the flow of their drive through, the restaurant also looks very appealing from the outside. Next time I'll have to check out the inside. Or maybe the patio area. read more

Pretty good chicken spot Interesting sauce They have a two lane drive thru which is a plus when they are busy I came there at a busy time but it took me 15 minutes to order and get my food. Customer service was pretty good. Glad they offered me hot sauce because they sauce became redundant in taste (although it was good I personally enjoy hot sauce over any sauce) Only issue with my order is two pieces of my church was partially soggy. The rest was crunchy and had a nice fry to it. I opted out of the Texas toast on this order Definitely recommend trying out read more

I initially came across Raising Cane's when in the area. Overall, it wasn't bad! The menu is centered around 4 things: chicken tenders, fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw. They have a special sauce (Cane sauce) that's included. Each meal is a combo and comes with a drink. It's a pretty good deal. The only thing I liked was the tenders but I'd still go back for that. They aren't salty, which for me is a plus! Fries are crinkle cut and get soggy quickly and I'm not a fan of coleslaw or toast, LOL. I still say give it a try though. Service was friendly and mostly fast. There's only a small parking lot as most people go through the drive-thru so keep that in mind. Give it a try and see what you think! This location definitely stays busy. read more

Well I finally had time to stop by Cane's after all the hoopla died down.. One the first things that jump out to me was the Sweet Tea/Lemonade mix.. I was surprised it was blended very well. Not too sweet, not too bland..However, the chicken fingers were meaty but not crispy or seasoned well enough for my liking. The fries taste better than they looked even though they looked the fries in freezer section from your local grocery store. My toasted bread seemed to rushed out of the toaster too early and it was luke-warm too.. Also, the dipping sauce that everyone was hyping is pretty good but to me seems like it goes better Crabs and Shrimp not Chicken Fingers and Fries! Bottomline, overall my rating was 3.5 star personally. I would say at least try it once.. read more

Ask me why I just finished waiting 20 min for one combo order, at a restaurant that only has 4 things on its menu!? Terribly managed, Terrible employees. I spent that 20 mins watching the crew play grab ass with each other instead of doing any actual work. So when this place closes up soon due to miss management, consider me not surprised. read more

I think this place is all hype and no substance. I don't really like to do critical reviews but... I gotta be honest... The restaurant looks nice but all they sell is chicken strips. Their combos is basically want three strips... four strips... six strips... want a side of fries... it's crinkle fries. Their garlic bread is just a lightly toasted white bread with very little flavor. Shit... they got a chicken sandwich but it's three chicken strips between a burger bun. It's the type of shit if I knew better, I'd just be like "no kids... we have chicken strips and crinkle fries at home". Last week, I got my daughter chicken strips from smash burger... and my daughter pointed out that those were better and my only though was "she's not wrong". My second thought was that a burger place that specializes in burger and pretend burgers made out of plants does chicken fingers better than a place that solely sells chicken fingers and nothing but chicken fingers. And the kicker is that after trying their Cane sauce, I just wanted some honey mustard but they don't even sell that. But if you like Raising Cane... that's cool... you do you. Though... their coleslaw is decent. Kinda like popeyes but little less greasier... I think. read more

Drove in and saw that this place was poppin on a Sunday! Drive through line long, full parking lot, and I have always wanted to try it out, so here it go. I was a little underwhelmed looking at the menu, as I honestly thought I would have a bit more options. Basically your choices are chicken fingers and more chicken fingers and cole slaw. Guess I'm slow, but I had no idea that this was all there was....ha!! I got the three chicken finger meal, with double fries (I hate cole slaw) and Texas toast. The tenders were hot and they are okay, fries are alright as well. Texas toast is toast. The sauce that they add did make the chicken tenders taste better, but something about it didn't quite do it for me. If I'm hongreh and need of a quick fix I may go back. read more

Customer service: 10/10 -went early, no one there. Cashier was very polite. Sauce: 3/10 -mayo, ketchup and some kind of seasoning. Not impressed. Chicken fingers: 6/10 -very juicy and crispy but no seasoning Chicken sandwich: 6/10 -tenders, lettuce, bun and sauce Fries: 5/5 -thin crinkle cut with no salt Coleslaw: 7/10 -not bad but like KFC (found out you can substitute coleslaw for another Texas Toast) Texas toast: 10/10 -very doughy and buttery Overall: 6/10 Would I eat it again? Yes, but I won't go out my way to buy it. I prefer chik fil a and Popeyes chicken sandwich and chik fil a sauce. Large portions but I prefer quality over quantity. It's a bit overrated but worth a try. read more

Raising Cane’s - Yes please - Fast Food Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I went to raising cabins to day and paid $50 for three meals. Got home and we started eating and my son found a long black hair in his food. If I didn't live all the way in Upper Marlboro I would have returned to store. Needless to say that ruined our appetites and the food went into the trash. The staff there needs to wear hair nets and gloves when working around food. So I want everyone to be aware to check you food before leaving because the prices are already ridiculous for those little chicken fingers and to have to throw it in the trash because cleanliness is not a priority at this establishment. They have lost all business from me and my family, food cost to much to have to throw it away. read more

Ok so I have been here twice since the grand opening. The first time I got the Chicken sandwich. It's the tenders on a bun. The fries have no taste at all. The sweet tea was barely sweet. Lol! I wasn't really impressed. I've had better chicken sandwiches elsewhere. I probably won't be back. read more

I went to this location and placed an order at the drive-through. It seems whenever I go inside I receive what I consider an adequate portion of food and when I go to the drive-through window, it's like a kids meal on this particular visit, I decided to look into my box to see yet again a kids portion meal, so I went inside, showed the gentleman the order and he agreed that it wasn't OK. He said, can you wait until we prepare another order which I did only to receive the same portion and less fries than I already had I then asked to speak to the manager and he refused to come out stating he was busy and I need to leave the restaurant. This was absolutely unacceptable! When do you go to a restaurant and if you have to speak to management, they won't speak to you. I say stay away from Raising Cane's for the price and the portion sizes they have gone too, is not worth it. You almost need to go buy another meal after you've gotten something from them. I'm going to share a picture of what I got for $11. read more

Raising Cane’s - Thre Count Meal - Not Worth Going - Fast Food Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

The first day open and cars were in line all the way to the other side of the shopping mall waiting for drive through. Even the line for dine in was outside the building. Once we got in there were plenty of open tables though and we found a place to rest. They played some epic songs, three disco balls spun on the ceiling as we waited for our food. Plenty of workers were on shift making the grand opening successful. Nice to see them honor emergency workers and military with a discount. Our order came out missing one meal but they soon sent it out. Everything tasted great, chicken tenders were tender, crinkle cut fries crunched, and the sweet tea sweetened the deal. We'll be back when the lines aren't so long. read more

Ok... Tried this place for the second time, because the first time in regards to taste was not so so bad. They sell chicken tenders and a chicken tender sandwich, not much variety. For sure the chicken tenders are very good as far as crisp and quality, but definitely could use some seasoning, salt and pepper did the trick. Not a fan of the fries or Cole slaw, sweet tea or the cane sauce, all could use improvement in quality and taste. Texas toast, I would say is very good. And there is only 1 sauce, other than ketchup. :( So the second time visiting was a bust! It was crazy overcrowded/busy, wrapped around the store in the inside and the drive thru was super long, had one person outside helping, but clearly wasn't enough. The food was not good this time.. taste like old grease. Maybe because they had to pump out 1000 orders, but definitely not up To par. Very much a lot of room for improvement, and not up to all the "hype". Maybe having a variety of sauces and sides would have been good. But anyhoo, try if your taste buds is leading you to chicken tenders.. maybe you'll have a better experience. read more

Just placed a mobile order at 1am and went to pick it up at 1:20am, it wasn't ready yet which I actually preferred (so it was hot). I could tell they were doing closing work so I actually feel bad for going in so close to closing time but they were so nice regardless and very quick to getting my food to me, even better, it was fully cooked! It's always so scary with chicken restaurants, especially late at night. But my husband and I are celebrating a little "honeymoon get out of the house" thing and this was exactly what we needed as a nightcap! Thank you guys!! read more

Oh boy! So I've only been to canes once and that's when they first opened so I knew what I was facing. However now they have been open for at least a year and things still seem the same.

The place is lively with a good song list playing. Disco balls in the ceiling are unique, giving a retro impression. They use actual chicken, it is fresh and flavorful, it isn't processed chicken. The Cane's sauce is zippy. The only flaw was the fries were slightly cold. The Texas toast is soft and tasty. The time between placing an order and being served is very reasonable. read more

So so good. Sometimes chicken isn't done and it certainly isn't seasoned. French fries? Might as well go buy a bag of the frozen stuff from Giant and fry yourself! The problem is they have a bunch of on again off again employees (mostly teens) and are clueless about how to prepare great food. There's got to be something better than this mediocre diner!! read more

I'm going to keep this short and simple, blandest chicken I have ever had, no flavoring or spice to it what so ever. The disappointment I had when I opened my chicken sandwich up and the "chicken" was just 3 chicken fingers was so immense. It just gave off lazy. read more

Raising Cane’s - chicken sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

Raising Cain at not only Popeyes and Chik-fil-a, but every fast food restaurant in Waldorf. With 705 locations that average annual sales of $5.4 million per store, this L.L.C. juggernaut will suck up sales from other fast food places in the area! So, I had to see what made them grow so fast in average sales and locations. Their only entree is chicken fingers. They have 4 combo meals, one is a kid's meal. The meals come with a drink and sides. They have 3 side dishes: fries, coleslaw, and Texas toast. You can substitute the sides. The restaurant chain is named after Founder Todd Graves' yellow Labrador, Raising Cane. He originally planned to call it Sockeye's, the salmon he fished in Alaska to earn enough money to start his first restaurant. A friend got him to change his mind. My wife and I shared The Caniac Combo. It had the following. 1) 6 chicken fingers. It was strips of white meat chicken filets with lightly battered crispy coatings. The chicken was tender and moist with a light chicken flavor. It had no marinade flavor. The coating tasted like a light Popeyes chicken batter coating with no greasy flavor. This chicken was great in every way except for the weak chicken flavor. As it is, the dipping sauce has to make up for this deficit. TIP: Let the steam out of the container as soon as possible. If you don't, your coating will be soggy. 2) Crinkle cut fries. They contain potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt. They were slightly crisp and lightly salted. They were not oily and tasted typical. McDonald's uses beef flavor, dextrose (a type of sugar), and salt on their fries. That's why they're tasty. 3) 2 Cane's sauce in 1.5 oz cups. It is mayonnaise based with Worcestershire sauce, Heinz ketchup, garlic, and black pepper. It tasted like spicy ranch dressing with a touch of vinegary ketchup. Heinz is too vinegary. They should use a different ketchup. Decent tasting but not savory. 4) Texas toast. It was supposed to have butter and garlic. It was barely grilled and had no butter or garlic. The bread was soft, moist, and tasted like Wonder bread. 5) Coleslaw. It had green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. The dressing was a slightly sweet mayonnaise with a touch of vinegar and salt. The dressing was a little too thin. Overall, it had a good blend of flavors to make it satisfying. 6) Unsweetened iced tea. It was 32 oz and refillable. The black tea was moderate in strength, smooth, and had no bitterness or dry mouth aftertaste. Excellent! The service was polite, responsive, and helpful. It took 9 minutes to get our food. That's very quick! But, I would rather have waited so they could make the Texas toast properly. The dining room and restrooms were clean. They are located in a stand-alone store in the parking lot of Charles County Plaza Shopping Center. Parking is free. The food, service, and ambiance rate 3.5 stars. This was a first visit, so I gave some leeway. I don't see the reason for their incredible growth. read more

Good Day good people! I tried Raising Cane's in New Orleans wasn't impressed so I thought maybe I'll try again to see if that might have been an off day. You know how I do, Service, Ambiance and of course FOOD!!! Let's get in it! Ambiance (5 Stars) they just opened so you know it's clean and organized inside. You can sit inside or outside, the choice is yours. Very clean on the inside so I have to give them their props. Service (4.5 Stars) I didn't wait to long considering the long lines of cars on the outside and there were a few people in the inside in front of me. I was greeted with a smile and the food came out not long. Food (3 Stars) they specialize in Chicken tenders, that's it. Now my food was definitely made fresh. I give them that, but the chicken tenders were bland, then I used the sauce and the sauce is good. If you need a sauce to cover for the taste then it's not good lol. The fries were very thin and the bread was good. It was seasoned and my drink was watered down tea I think they were on the end because I could taste the what it would taste like when it's almost empty (hope that makes sense) I wouldn't wait in line, this would have to be I'm hungry and everything I like is closed type of situation for me to come back. read more

Ehhh unfortunately I was not impressed with canes. New restaurant in Waldorf whose drive thru and inside line has been long since day 1 so I figured I'd hop in line. Though service and inside of restaurant was delightful and clean, the food itself was satisfactory at best. My favorite part of the meal was actually the bread. The chicken was smaller than I thought and could use more seasoning and love. read more

Had lunch with the family today at Raising Cane and everything was great! We decided to go on a Tuesday when they first open at 10am. The restaurant is clean, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and the service was awesome. The food was hot and fresh. The chicken tenders were crispy and tender. The crinkly fries were yummy too. Not your average crinkle cut... they were more like crinkle shoestring fries! Other than tenders, they offer chicken sandwiches. All things are fried... so no healthier options like grilled or salads. We dined outside since it was a nice day. From our experience, we will be back. I hope they maintain their food, customer service and cleanliness. read more

Raising Cane’s - 3pc chicken tender combo with extra toast, a side of coleslaw and their signature dipping sauce. - Fast Food Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

First time trying Raising Cane's and honestly did not meet the hype. A bit pricey for you what you get. I got the 3 piece tender box and it was about $10. Tenders were pretty good, juicy and crispy with the right amount of breading. Fries are crinkle cut but very small and tasteless. I guess they were "healthier" since it didn't taste drenched in oil or overly salty, so maybe that's a good thing for you. Sauce was good, but you only get a small cup and costs extra for more. I got the lemonade for my drink and it was not good, tasted very water y. Place was very clean and workers were doing their best. But was very slow. Drive thru line was super long and was also very slow. read more

My daughter and I went to this location on 06/10 and it didn't disappoint. I'm not too much of a chicken person but she is. We both don't really like crowds so we didn't want to sit around. It was pretty packed, but once we got back in the car we tried the tenders and overall we both give it a thumbs up. I don't like salty foods or fried food but these were surprisingly tasty and the sauce is on par with Chic-Fil-A and PDQ's. Service wise I have to spotlight Miriam. I respect people who hustle and do their jobs efficiently. In a crowded store filled with noise she spoke loudly and clearly for everyone to hear. There's no way anyone could grab the wrong order or not know their food was ready. keep her around. If you're in the Waldorf area give this place a try. read more

I ventured here after the hype dyed down. Service was fast. Menu is very basic. Chicken strips, Chicken sandwiches, Fries, Tea or Soda, Cane Sauce, Texas Toast, and Coleslaw. My order was basic 3 chicken strips, Texas toast, crinkle cut fries, sweet tea, extra cane sauce (expect to pay for an extra sauce) for $10.50 The food could've used salt. Just very average tasting. read more

Have been a long time Cane's fan. Happy they are finally in Maryland! Stopped by the new Waldorf store Saturday. For the most part everything was good, a few minor issues: Fries needed salt, slaw was VERY wet(even by Cane's standards), and the same issue at all canes... the Texas toast is only every toasted/buttery/salty on One side. Every time we go, anywhere in the country, canes seems to only toast the one side correctly. Still, GREAT by fast food standards, although we found a better chain in Florida (Huey McGoo's). read more

Excellent chicken fingers! In general I find Cane's a step above Zaxby's and miles above Chick-fil-a and others. Luckily this location met my expectations and now that they've rapidly expanded nationwide, the quality is still the same as I remember. Fingers, fries, and garlic bread came fresh out with no delay. Iced tea was on point, but their sodas weren't working correctly. Service was better than expected as we visited on the opening week and waited in a very short line (1 min wait) to go inside. The drive-thru was at least 20 cars deep, though. I'll be back! read more
