This place was crazy packed for a place that just serves differing amounts of chicken tenders in a platter, but they do have some juicy chicken. There's a small outdoor patio which is great for spring and summer, but in questionable weather, the seating may be at a premium. You can order ahead online or prepare to wait in a line, but it moves quickly. The chicken, sauce, Texas bread, and fries are all great, and they are big portions, so we end up always sharing a meal. The staff did clean tables pretty regularly. Parking lot is big. Only issue was there are only 2 single stall bathrooms and both times weeks apart one was out of order, which is quite a detriment when it's as crowded as it is. If they get that in order, it would be a sufficient 5. read more

As an original Cane's fan back from visiting in AZ- many times we tried this location in Edison. Very busy Online ordering Yummy as always We would come back again. read more

Here's my no photo review, cause I honestly just went to the drive-thru & didn't wanna do the extra. Service line is setup like Chik-Fil-A, only not as speedy & efficient. Staff is friendly & have their work down. The food....I don't get the hype. It was tasty, but not like "Oh my God, I gotta come back." We had the 3-Finger Combo (giggity). Chicken fingers were greasy, crinkle fries were just Ok, Texas toast was weak & soggy, Half Tea/Half Lemonade is more tea than lemonade. That last one isn't a complaint, it's a matter of preference. Cane dipping sauce is good. So, would I come back? Sure...but only if someone else insisted on trying it, or it was late and I was nearby, cause they're open until 1am. Grades: Chicken Fingers: B Fries: B Texas Toast: D Half Tea/Half Lemonade: C read more

Don't be fooled by the long drive-thru lines; this place is overrated. The chicken tenders lean more tender than crispy; another couple of minutes in the fryer would help. Even so, they come out bland and underwhelming. The fries are forgettable, and the house sauce is just okay. Overall, not worth going out of your way for. read more

Decided to try this place since they opened it's always crowded which is a good sign it's good. Did the drive thru although you can sit in a small area outside or inside. Placed my order and got my food. The decision was unanimous: it's delicious! Really really good chicken, great sauce. Really good coleslaw. Fries were good, don't really need the Texas toast. I would definitely recommend it. Prices comparable. Hope they put more in Middlesex county read more

Overrated. They were packed but got my Mobile order timely. Will not return. I was short in time with 4 boys, so I order the app and sat in to eat. I asked the worker there if I can have some plates or one of those black platter to eat on. They looked at me funny and went on to and said I would need to check with the manager. Manager looks at me weird and decided to give me 4 huge plastic container to eat with. read more

I went to the new Raising Cane's in Edison and it was PACKED. We literally had to watch tables and wait for people to get up just to find a seat. I will say though, the line actually moved pretty fast and the staff looked like they were trying to keep up with how crazy it was. The inside looks really nice and decorated well. It was a little messy but honestly expected because everyone was shoulder to shoulder. Before I even sat down I went back up to buy an extra sauce and waited about 5 minutes. By the time I got back to the table my food was already kind of cold. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with the food. I was eating my fries for a couple minutes and noticed there was a hair underneath them. That pretty much made me stop eating and I ended up throwing the rest away. I know they just opened and it's insanely busy right now so I'm hoping it was just an off moment. The staff really was moving fast and trying. I'd probably try again later once the hype calms down. read more

Pretty good but a bit lackluster. Super crowded and so LOUD. The music was blaring like a club. They're relatively new to the area so there'll be a ton of hype for a while. I last had Raising Canes 15 years ago in Boston and it's just like how I remembered it. Ordered the 3 finger meal. The chicken was greasy and the breading was falling off and a touch soggy. The crinkle cut fries were underdone and needed salt. The sauce is yummy (mayo ketchup sauce with some other flavor). The lemonade is super sugary. Service was great. Bathroom was average clean. Fast turnaround time. read more

Do yourself a favor and order ahead! The hype for Raising Cane's is real. I've been excited for it to open since trying it for the first time in Nashville. Apparently so is everyone else because I've never not seen the line wrapped around for miles! We went on a Monday afternoon and ended up mobile ordering while there, which was quicker than anticipated. The drive thru line and dine in lines were wrapped around. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor casual seating options, but there was not one free table. I liked the outdoor seating area setup and the fact it's covered. Our food traveled well home and was thoroughly enjoyed. The chicken was fresh and flavorful. The Cane's sauce really makes it, honestly. I'll be back but likely waiting for the newness to wear off. Highly recommend. read more

Raising Cane's is exactly what it promises no frills, good-quality chicken done really well. The chicken tenders were hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. The toast was buttery and surprisingly good, and the fries were solid. Of course, the Cane's sauce is the star and ties everything together. Service was fast and friendly, even during a busy time, and the place was clean and well organized. The limited menu keeps things moving, which I appreciate. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the menu is very basic if you're not in the mood for chicken tenders, there aren't many options and the fries can be hit or miss depending on timing. Overall, this is a great spot when you want quick, satisfying comfort food without overthinking it. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it for a casual meal. read more

Central Jersey's first Raising Cane's location welcomed the public with a grand opening today in the space where Hanmi Bank used to be on the southbound side of US 1. The first 100 customers to order a combo meal for dine-in were given a Cane's beanie and a box combo card. As at other Raising Cane's grand openings, a drawing was held for a "free year" of food (which is actually just 3 free box combos per month for 12 months). I ordered my box combo at the front counter for dine-in and was given my drink of half-and-half iced tea while I waited for my food, which took less than 5 minutes to arrive. I recommend eating your chicken tenders in-store while they're still hot for the best experience, or at the very least within 30 minutes if you're getting takeout. Reheated Cane's doesn't taste quite as good. The front counter area with the cash registers was pretty crowded since it's also where customers pick up orders. Dine-in orders are served in a plastic basket while to-go orders are packaged in a clamshell case and paper bag. Store employees roamed around asking customers for feedback and wiping down tables as soon as they finished eating. The inside of the store has a cozy setup with a small dining room with enough seating for about 30 to 40 people. Seating options include counter-height tables with wooden benches and standard-height tables with faux leather booth seats. The partly covered patio outside also has additional benches and tables. The pickup shelf for to-go orders is located by the main entrance next to the restaurant's front counter which has two cash registers. The drink/condiment/utensil station is located on the opposite side of the cash registers in the corner of the room. The soda machine has a very limited selection of Coca Cola sodas (mostly full sugar) and the bubbler drinks offer self-serve iced tea, in both sweetened and unsweetened varieties. Unfortunately, there are no fountain drink options that are both sugar-free and caffeine-free, except for iced water/seltzer. The two spacious restrooms in the back of the store are single-occupancy, which means that if more than one person needs to go you'll have to wait your turn. The interior decor is what you would find at other newer Raising Cane's locations: large bright One Love signage, framed pop art, and disco balls suspended from the ceiling. While the vibe is certainly welcoming, the dining room at this location is not designed for lingering or for large groups and is best for people who will order their food, eat it, then leave. The choice of location also leaves much to be desired since this Raising Cane's shares a parking lot with a Petco and the only way in or out of both is through a bottleneck in front of the Petco. I look forward to revisiting this location next year after the grand opening hype has petered out. read more

Very unfortunate, I'm not sure if they're trying to sell people in Jersey that this is raising canes quality but fries were mad small along with the chicken strips. As if it's a knock off version. Toast known for flavor and it was absolutely bland. Very disappointing read more

Late night runs will always tell you about a place! Some restaurants tend to serve cold fries or food that's been sitting all day. Not here!!!!! We showed up a 12am And this place was packed. The line was long but the wait wasn't. The cashiers and drive-thru workers were the absolute friendliest and funniest people we've literally ever encountered going through a drive-thru. The food was hot and absolutely freaking delicious. Will definitely be back here and I recommend everyone to go check them out. read more

First time at Raising Cane's--and here's my honest take. I'm usually not a big fast-food person, mostly because of the high calorie counts, but since this location just opened, I figured I'd give it a try. When I pulled up, the drive-thru line was long, so I went inside instead--and that was definitely the right move. The indoor line moved much faster. I ordered The Box Combo, which comes with four chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, Cane's sauce, and a 22-oz fountain drink. Ratings: * Chicken fingers (9/10): Really good--crispy and tender. A little more seasoning would've made them perfect. * Fries (7/10): Decent but nothing special, and they were a bit cold. * Coleslaw (7/10): Fine, but pretty basic. * Texas toast (6/10): It's literally just bread. Not bad, just forgettable. * Cane's sauce (4/10): This was the letdown for me. Too sour and not my thing. Overall: Despite a few misses, the experience was solid, and I can see why people like it. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the mood for fast food. Overall rating: 9/10. read more

Food is delicious. Workers are awesome. They're working their butts off. Be patient and be kind. We visited on 12/15/25. Lines are long, even drive through but it moves fast. Workers are constantly cleaning, which I appreciate, because everything is moving so fast. I think we got the Rutgers rush, there were a ton of students but it died down a bit around 5. Hope the staff stays as good as they are now. Keep up the great work guys! Happy to have a location nearby. Only complaint is that the music is a bit loud, but my toddler totally enjoyed the vibes. Especially with the disco lights. He happily chowed down his food while dancing in his seat. Shoutout to the Manager/Owner coming by to see how we were enjoying our visit and clearing our empty trays. Love to see it. read more

Raising Cane's is a fast food chain that knows exactly what they're doing. I've visited a few times already, and each time the food has come out nice and hot. The chicken tenders are crispy and juicy. While I do agree that the chicken could use more seasoning, the Cane's sauce totally makes up for it. Cane's sauce feels both simple and unique, and it has a pretty strong pepper flavor. The fries are crispy, and the coleslaw is crunchy. The toast is also soft on the inside, well-buttered, and has a slight crisp on the outside. Every time I've placed my order ahead, it's been done on time if not a few minutes early. This place is run super well and the staff members are always very friendly when I pick up my order. It can be hard to find a place to sit during peak hours, but I didn't have any trouble finding a clean table when I visited around night time. I have never seen a fast food joint run as efficiently as this Raising Cane's. read more

New establishment. I surprised at how fast the service was especially considering the volume of orders coming in. Will definitely be popular for the next few months. I always have loved the chicken and cane sauce there and I am happy they opened a location in central Jersey! read more

The line and drive thru are still a bit crazy but decided to try it anyway. We couldn't find a seat so ordered to go. We ordered a 3 piece and a 6 piece combo. We got our order quickly after placing it. Staff is super friendly. When we got to the car, we did not get the 6 piece combo. We got the 4. We were disappointed that we didnt get what we paid for. We didnt want to stand in line again so we didnt complain. We figured its cause they were so busy and just opened. The chicken is juicy. The fries were ok. Nothing to rave about. read more

Took nearly 30 minutes to get to the pickup window. The girl who took my order obviously wasn't paying attention, despite repeating my order twice, she got it wrong. At first got only half of my order, (Caniac), and after checking she said I had two orders and she came back with a 4 -piece and another Caniac. Despite ordering two Large iced teas, I got 1 and a medium Coke. Chicken was better than most I've had, but fries were soggy and Texas Toast had no taste. They've been open about a month now and still don't have their act together. The food is not worth the wait. read more

I'm not ashamed to admit that the opening of Raising Canes here in New Jersey generally and this Edison location specifically has been my most anticipated fast food offering in as long as I can remember. I've been a fan for a decade and a half ever since my father moved down to Louisiana and I first tried their glorious fried chicken fingers/tenders. The menu is super simple, it's fried chicken tenders/fingers or a fried chicken sandwich with fries, Texas toast, and cole slaw as sides. I had the 4 finger combo and it came out to about $15 post tax which, these days, is pretty darn good value for the meal. I was fully satiated upon completion. I had to wait a couple months after their grand opening because everytime I passed by I saw a line wrapped around the building! Even on this Wednesday night the place was nearly packed and had a constant flow of customers. They have a cool story, and vibe as well as doing awesome things in the local community. I'm happy to patronize this franchise wherever I see them and you should be as well. Also the canes sauce is really good and is by my guesstimation a bit of a spicy ranch. read more

I was really excited to try this Raising Cane's. I had been anticipating it since before it even opened, when it was still under construction. I finally decided to go today, and the experience was extremely disappointing. First of all, the service was horrible. The employees taking orders were acting very unprofessional. They were laughing and joking around like it was lunchtime in high school, which is not the kind of environment customers expect when ordering food. They also almost messed up my order when they were taking it. When I went back to my car and opened my Box Combo, I found a strand of blond hair in the food. It was absolutely disgusting. I went back inside to let them know about the issue. I tried to stay calm and respectful when speaking to the staff, but they looked at me like I was the problem. When I told the manager about the hair, he simply gave me another meal and did not seem to care at all about the situation. What made it worse was that I noticed none of the employees were wearing hair nets. Overall, the food quality, service, and professionalism were all extremely poor. It was a very disappointing experience. read more

Loving that we have Cane's nearby as it is one of our favorites when we go back west. The first time we tried to visit, the drive thru line was so long we had to leave, but with yummy food, this is expected and not anything new. We haven't been inside yet, but the drive thru person is always friendly with great energy. The food is great and tastes fresh. No complaints here. Excited to be able to visit whenever. read more

Service, food, and ambiance were amazing! Everyone was super accommodating and honestly they are pretty well prepared for the crowds they have been having. Truly I love the sauce, chicken, and especially the toast! read more

Ordered two 3-piece meals. They forgot to include the coleslaw. I didn't find out until I went to eat my food 5- minutes later in the adjacent parking lot by Home Depot. The chicken was crispy but could have been fried just a little bit longer. The French fries had ED as they were limp, disappointing and unappealing. The toast was only toasted on one side as the other side was soft. The sauce was the best thing as I dipped my limp fries in there because they did not include ketchup with the orders. The place inside was very chaotic and offered a realistic slice of America as diversity was on full display......................... I like that! With a little more work and tweaks, this place could replace Chic Fila. read more

The chicken fingers were good. However, the fries, coleslaw and toast were average. The lemonade didn't taste fresh. The service was good and the restaurant was clean enough. The music was too loud so it was hard to hear your friends. It's a lot of young people hype. I pard $12,50 which I think was too expensive for what I received. It's a glorified Chick-Fil-A. I won't return. read more

Eh', no big deal. Chicken fingers are delicious,BUT, the fries were undercooked and underwhelming. Not worth the caloric sin. Cole slaw wasn't memorable. Unless you're getting 25 chicken fingers or more, you have to order a "bundle ", which I would never get again. Lemonade was very good.Ridiculous marketing, If I want just chicken fingers, can't get an order for 1 or 2, lousy music was too loud, and a big line for the bathroom. If you have prostate issues,stay away. read more

Food was great, requested extra sauce and did not get it. I also waited in line for almost 30 minutes which doesn't make the food worth it. Especially after driving 40 minutes to try something everyone is going crazy about. I only had a $50 on me after paying my food and wanted to tip the employees. The manager refused. Why wouldn't you want your staff to get more money? For that I refuse to come back to this location. Horrible manager. read more

The taste is there , the sauce is great , the chic fingers taste great, but it literally took 1 hour to get the food, fries unseasoned, fingers 1/2 the size literally of the picture, all they had was regular sized soda loaded with ice, Texas toast tasted great but super soggy, just like the fries and finger. 14.91 with an extra sauce , .50 for extra anything. I get better food at Wawa than this . Pretty pathetic, I get they are busy , but I don't think serving soggy food for exorbitant prices is the way to go here . Also there is like 20 plus people working there . It was busy, sure and has been for the past week, I am some what sympathetic to that , but not at 15 bucks , for 4 chicken fingers and some fries, and everything is soggy read more

Ordered food online. One order was okay. 2nd order was missing toast they gave us fries instead and no sauce. People can say its busy and all kinds of excuses. If you are not creating an order based on what customer has ordered then you are basically giving them what you want them to eat. It was my first experience in Edison and last. It was a phone order for pick up - I was not crowding your store at least get my order right! read more

Made a quick weekday lunch drive-through visit to the Edison location around 11:30. First time at Cane's. Drive through line was short. I ordered the 3 piece meal. Girl at the window was pleasant and competent. I'd rate the overall quality of the chicken fingers above the strips served at any of the other fast food places, except Chic-Fil-A. Sauce ok. Crinkle cut fries were nothing special and a very skimpy amount was provided. They can keep the Texas toast as it adds nothing much to the combo. Price for this meal was over $12. I guess in today's world this represents average value but there's not enough here for me to be a repeat customer. read more

Food was abysmal, generic breaded chicken strips with soggy fries barely salted and the "toast" was a slice of white bread without any crunch whatsoever. Not to mention their signature sauce "cane sauce" which is literally just vinegar in a container expected to pair. Will not be eating here again. read more
