Visited around 1:30 am on a Wednesday. They are open late until 2 am with both indoor and outdoor seating. Fries were cold. The tenders were juicy and hot. Staff sounded annoyed and impatient. Honestly the food felt overpriced for the value but this was my first time trying it. They do tenders well but everything else fell short. If I were in the area I'd get it again but probably just the chicken by itself. read more

So we finally got to try out the newish Raising Canes in Largo. We were familiar with the brand from our time in Louisiana where we loved the simple yet tasty strips and sides. This location has the same relaxed atmosphere and tasty food that we had experienced years ago. We both got the Box combo which came with four strips a side of coleslaw, a piece of Texas toast and a drink. The food was fresh and tasty and the tea was brewed fresh. I am glad we have a Canes in the area now and will visit when we are in the Largo area. I hope we get one in Tampa soon. read more

I was excited to get to come to Raising Canes for lunch since we were in Largo. It had been over a decade since I had been to Raising Canes and I was excited to see if it was as good as I remembered. The decor was industrial and had a lot of fun, quirky details. I went to the counter and ordered the Box combo. The staff member was friendly and polite. The chicken fingers were fresh and tender, the fries were lightly crispy and salted perfectly, the coleslaw was very tasty and the Canes sauce was just as good as I remembered. The meal did not disappoint. It was so nice to get to enjoy this again. I look forward to coming back again soon. read more

So like this raising canes. Their chicken is better than in resto just saying. Service was fast. Like their Texas toast too :) inside is nice and clean. Been ordering this when I was still living in Vegas. Plus their chix sauce, nomnom :) read more

Tried Raising Cane's and it definitely hit the spot. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right. Their signature Cane's sauce tied everything together--it's the kind of flavor that keeps you dipping until it's gone. The fries were golden and fresh, and the Texas toast added a nice buttery touch to the meal. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and efficient, even during a busy lunch rush. Overall, a great spot for quick, quality comfort food when you're craving something fried and flavorful. read more

Super crazy busy and I just don't get the hype! 1/2 out of 5 stars. Unpopular opinion - It's bland chicken tenders (publix is better) and fries. Coleslaw is subpar and the sauce is OK. Everything is fried. Their menu has 0 variety and consist of chicken tenders, fries, bread and coleslaw. Nothing grilled and no salads or fresh fruit. This is the "idea" of food. read more

It's chicken tenders. That's it. We don't even bother with Cole slaw (which is good), Texas toast (which awesome with some BBQ sauce), or French fries (which as good, but not great). We just get a pile of tenders and nom nom. I bring my own emergency BBQ because the only sauce choices they have are Cane's sauce (a remoulade) and honey mustard. The tenders are always fresh and hot, juicy and crispy. Service is always prompt. The restaurant is always clean. read more

Loveeee a good Canes moment. Going to college in a town that had Canes - everyone knew that Canes was the spot. So happy that I came across one in the Tampa area (even though it's a bit far from me). Simple review - Chicken is amazing & seasoned well, crinkle fries are superior, but the SAUCE... the sauce holds all the power here. See ya again soon Canes. read more

Do Not order here, in fact pass on any Raising Cane. Publix is better lol. Many Mobil orders you need to double check because the most expensive sauce of .39 missing in your order they will not give you extra due to the inconvenience . Many of friends of stopped going because the sauce was not included and had to go back and as an inconvenience they would not even provide extra sauce for free due to the inconvenience of gas and time. They say against their policy, do plenty of these fast food joints that actually have better and cheaper so just drive by and DO NOT Order from them especially on East Bay Drive largo!!! Also, no health violations should be reported but they have had TWO read more

We got here around 1045 for late breffist/early lunch between other errands. This one is a lot quieter and lower key than the one on Gulf to Bay, thankfully. For one thing the employees don't hoot and holler. Order taker at the counter didn't even notice us for a minute and when he did, all he said was "what can I get for you?" We both got 3-finger combos sans toast for extra slaw. Doesn't even seem that the cup of slaw was much bigger than the ones on the other orders that came out subsequent to ours. Oh, well: at least I didn't have to toss out that godawful excuse for "Texas toast" they seem to think goes with an order of fried chicken tenders. What still mystifies me is their claim to make fries to order. I find that hard to believe since when our food FINALLY came out after about seven minutes, fries were already lukewarm and limp rather than hot and crisp. Tenders, on the other hand, were quite warm and crisp...go figure. Meanwhile, the people who were already waiting when we first arrived didn't get their food until AFTER we did. The next few people who came in afterward, oddly enough, all got their food in less than a minute. I suppose timing is everything after all... Slaw is still the same yummy stuff as previously, albeit in a (barely) bigger cup. Still beats their godawful toast crap, which is probably best to for lining the bottom of a birdcage. Also the same is their salty sauce for the tenders. A lot of folks swear by it; I don't. Tasted more like a salt laden remoulade than what I recalled from my previous visit to the other location in Clearwater. Most of the employees seemed to be keeping themselves busy doing different things when the store itself was quiet. It's good to see that these folks have something to do to justify the high prices. I say that is true with the exception of ONE redheaded employee. This girl did absolutely NOTHING but sit in a booth totally engaged in a tablet and totally disengaged FROM anything going on around her in the store. We were there for well over a half hour and this kid barely moved or did anything but gawk at that damn iPad or tablet. What kind of look does that present to the paying public choosing to "dine in"? While I'm sure the owner or manager can come up with some lame excuse or coverup, I still believe perceptions speak loudly. One good thing transpired out of this visit. My dear Queen Bee had her hankering for chicken tenders dispatched. I won't go too much farther on this particular note...I simply say the same thing as I did when we visited their sister location: "eh!" read more

Food is hot and fresh and always served with a smile! The customer service is as expected and quite good. I usually run through the drive-thru but, the inside is what you expect. I can say, the dining area was not so clean and the floors were sticky. That the only thing I see that could improve read more

Stop by raising canes today, just to get lunch. Speedy service and phenomenal customer service. Ain't outside and went inside just to get a cup of ice for my cup, which was a personal cup and they still brought me an additional cup of ice. Definitely would recommend this location. Come enjoy some good food and fast service. read more

Ordered the 4 piece box. Chicken came out screaming hot, nice big pieces and very juicy. It needed more seasonings, I added salt and pepper. Love the dipping sauce. Fries were fresh and hot, and the cole slaw was good. Texas toast was toasted perfectly. My favorite is their sweet tea sweetened with Pure Cane sugar. Dining room was clean but it is very cold, most were sitting outside which has a very nice covered seating area. Bring a jacket if you plan on sitting inside. Makes sense that the cashier was wearing a Raising Cane's sweatshirt. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 4 piece box - Fast Food Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Like a lot of people, I've heard great things about Raising Cane's. So I was looking forward to my visit. I can only echo a lot of the comments that you will see across other reviews. Some of you will see them as pros and others will see them as cons - I'm going to list them as neutrals. Pros: * Easy to make a choice of what you are having - chicken tenders * Coleslaw was good Neutrals: * Limited menu - they serve "Chicken Fingers" * They have a limited number of side items - fries and coleslaw Cons: * They only have one sauce - unless you like ketchup on your chicken tenders read more

The letdown of the year. I had always wanted to go to Raising Canes because I'd heard so much about it. Finally I got to and man, what a bummer. The location was new and the staff was nice, all of that was alright. The location: The restaurant itself was not clean. No napkins, rarely and cutlery and most of, it not all of the table were dirty. Eating chicken tenders without napkins is not recommended. The food: The sides were ok. I liked the friends although they could have had more flavor and the coleslaw was good too, a nice sweetness to it and chopped nicely. And i liked the Texas toast. The tenders, which the tenders are good. They are juicy and fresh , i don't think they have much flavor associated with them. The breading is sort of soft or flimsy and not crispy at all. The sauce was tasty but i didn't understand why there were no other choices of sauces here other then ketchup. This was a miss for me. read more

I don't get the hype. It was chicken fingers and fries. Yes, they were fresh and hot but there is no reason to go out of your way for this. Place was dirty, they should wipe the tables down more often. read more

I know they newly opened but I can't say I understand what was going on while I was there tonight. Two people in line, much like Chick-fil-A but while waiting, one walked away to never return... we watched and waited while someone else came out but wasn't taking orders. So 3 people outside with only 1 taking order between two lines. We finally pulled out of line and went inside. 4 minutes, and we had our food. So they really need to work on the drive thru. The food was good, tenders juicy and fries fresh. Loved the Texas toast but would say both sides need to be buttered and grilled, not just one. Coleslaw was also crisp and fresh. read more

Before they came to Clearwater/Largo, I was such a Raising Cane's fan, scoping it out in every major city and would frequent the Vegas locations when visiting my brother... I crave their juicy chicken strips, crinkle cut fries, lemonade and sweet tea, and personally I come back for the sauce. Perhaps this location is still working through some first month jitters, but I've had the wrong order here not once but twice. I don't intend for this to sound like my villain origin story but these two visits are why I have trust issues. All I can say is always open your bag up and check your order! A Caniac combo comes with 6 tenders, fries, a coleslaw, and toast... the first time I ordered to-go, I waited over half an hour only to come home to 4 tenders in my box. For a meal that costs over $15, this left me extremely disappointed. Despite the first visit, I saw no line and found myself back in the drive-thru for an easy dinner... I ordered two meals for me and the hubby. We really dislike coleslaw so I tried to ask for double fries as a substitute this time... There was only one car in front of me and not a full parking lot so it clearly wasn't that busy. At the window, I was greeted with 3 drinks so I already knew my order was going to be messed up... After letting them know I only needed two drinks, the server passed me my lemonade and sweet tea and claimed that my order was popping up twice. I waited a few minutes and checked on my two meals at the window. After counting all my tenders were there (lol), I noticed there was coleslaw in my Caniac box. I told the server about my substitute for double fries and she asked for my receipt... the reply was, "is this not what you ordered?" I spelled out that I was missing an extra serving of fries. She then handed me a small box and sent me on my way... I opened the box to find another coleslaw. I can't make this up and luckily the meal tasted great but honestly what a horrible customer experience... sadly I'd try to wait a bit before my third time back. read more

Everything was sooo good! Eaten there many times. Love the food.! Their chicken tenders are so tender.

As prior Oklahomans, Raising Canes was a staple for us years ago. All these years later, it still holds up for us. The menu is limited to basics, mainly just how many chicken fingers do you want. But they do it well. The chicken itself is good but it's the Cane's sauce that sends it over the top! Much better than CFA sauce or Zaxby's sauce, it's a tangy blend of delicious flavors. The fries are fine. I always substitute the cole slaw out for a 2nd toast because the toast is my favorite side. Just the right amount of butter with an almost sweet taste. Carry-out service was quick. And they don't advertise it much but they do have a Caniac Club where you get free Box combos after signing up, on your sign-up anniversary, and other deals throughout the year. Overall, this is a good chicken place. It falls behind Chick-fil-A for me and just a bit behind PDQ but ahead of Zaxby's. read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The west entrance - Fast Food Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Brand new location here in Clearwater. I always like to let the new come off a restaurant location to be fair. I even made my debut visit at 6:20pm on a Monday evening. I ordered the 3-piece Tenders and Fries. I always enjoyed dining at Canes when I lived in St Louis. I moved to Florida in 2014 and haven't had the food since. Several orders came in after mine including a large party of 9. All received their food before me. It was only after I approached the counter and spoke to a "manager" 25 minutes after placing my order were they aware of it. I get waiting longer at a new location but not waiting to get my order after 15 people that came after got their food first. The manager apologized and said "they've" been pre bumping orders they're not supposed to do that. Overall the food was good as I remember. Canes has some of the best sauce and tenders around. The fries seemed under cooked. Perhaps pulled too soon from the fryer? The sweet tea was solid. For this the visit gets a 3-Star review. I hope for a better experience next time.

Workers were sooo sweet and considerate, food was delicious! Love this place and would 100 percent come back!

This one might be a bit long winded! My daughters have been swearing by Canes for years. They say it's one of the big things they miss from Texas. I was able to surprise one with a visit to a very newly birthed location in the Clearwater area. The restaurant itself was fun and quirky. Ridiculously clean and well kept. After all it's new. Some fun and interesting artwork on the walls. Good vibe for a fast food type. The service was about what you should expect at restaurants like this. Friendly staff. The menu itself is extremely basic. Tenders, tender sandwiches, fries, cole slaw, Texas toast and fountain drinks. So make sure chicken tenders are what you're wanting, because that's all they got! The fries were typical crinkle cut, hot fresh and plenty. I opted for extra fries instead of Coleslaw . You can also choose to get another piece of toast or extra sauce if coleslaw and extra fries aren't your thing. The tenders were juicy and hot, not too much fried breading. The Texas toast was a bit unique. Had sesame seeds, was both soft and toasty, sweet and buttery. Nice. My girls had raved about the Canes sauce. It was good but I found it comparable to the Zaxbys sauce. My absolute favorite part of the meal was the sweet tea. Perfectly sweetened and cold. The way tea should be! I'm not sure I'd go 57 miles out of my way to eat here again, BUT when they open a location in Orlando, I'm sure we'll be popping in from time to time. Filling, fresh and reasonably priced. Good stuff! read more

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - The Box Combo - Fast Food Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I heard so many good things about this chain. Sadly Raising Canes just didn't live up to the hype. My brother in law and girlfriend are visiting from Australia and had raising Canes on their list of American foods to try. We never had them before so we decided to order lunch from them. Not only were they disappointed, our whole family was! The fries we're severely undercooked. No crunch at all. The chicken..Oh dear, the chicken.... The batter hardly had a crunch and the chicken was rubbery. The lids to the Post Malone cups had something wrong with them. Everyone who had one had most of their drink spill on them. The sauce was just ok. Not the most amazing condiment I've ever had. Overall, I won't be considering eating at this chain again. Especially after how hard my wallet was hit. $58! That's just adding insult to injury. read more

Service was amazing, food was out in a blink, food was hot, sauce was on point. Complete fast food place

BELIEVE THE HYPE! I've eaten chicken strips/fingers for decades, and although most are pretty good, Raising Canes has done an exceptional job at delivering GREAT flavor! You won't need sauce to eat this incredibly juicy, flavorful chicken! They offer cane sauce (I think fry sauce with pepper), which in my opinion, only enhances the flavor of the bird. Crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, and Cole slaw round out the meal. Staff was friendly, atmosphere was loud but not too loud that you wanted to leave. The only con I can think of is the beverage lids we're a little tight. Looking forward to coming back! read more

The facility was nicely decorated and appeared clean and safe. It was also well lit with a friendly staff. The Tenders were juicy but when they are very limited to plain Tenders. They should have a tender salad on the menu that is missing when the only have Tenders or Tender Sandwich entree. They also could use some extra Sauces since they only have Canes Sauce to complement the usual Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup. The sweet tea was great also. read more

Don't hate me Texans but I'm my opinion, raising canes is completely overhyped. I was deeply disappointed. The chicken was bland asf. Very sad. The app is not great, no opportunities for rewards like every other fast food app, and they have problems with the payment mechanism. read more

Had the displeasure of doing the drive thru window and waited 10 minutes or longer with 2 cars ahead at 7 pm, ridiculous. The customer service at both the cashier and pickup window was lacking on so many levels. The chicken was not good at all and the fries were not fresh, very disappointing visit. The kicker at the pickup window was when I asked for an extra Cane's sauce and was told it was an extra 42 cents, are you kidding me? Do better Cane's!!! read more

Good food but never enough sauce. I ordered an extra sauce and they charged for it yet did not include it in my order. read more

Chicken was cooked well but the fries were terrible and the soda was flat and the coleslaw was ok at best. Not worth the time.

Think Zaxby's but it was flooded durring Katrina, the insurance was paid on it and they never re opened. Then someone came in and started cooking the half of the menu that didn't get rushed away by water. read more

Have heard a lot of things about the food here was super excited! I came in one worker was super friendly and helpful. But when we were ordering the lady taking the order was rude, not nice, gave us the wrong price amount, then got mad when i asked about it. but the place is clean and cute. read more

First time trying raising canes and I'll say that it's definitely one of the best "fast food" restaurants around. The service was fantastic and so was the food. I dined inside and it was probably the cleanest fast food restaurant I've ever seen. read more
