It has been way too long for me to come back here…read more It's in a great location right next to Starbucks in the shopping center on the corner of Foothill Blvd on Route 66 and Lone Hill. I was greeted with a smile by Jessica the owner! Great service by her, Michael, and Jake! They do have a few tables to sit inside and outside to eat. We chose to sit inside because it's too hot outside for me. I started off by ordering a bottle of root beer. My friend got a fountain drink and she got half sweetened tea and half unsweetened tea mix. They do offer fountain sodas, teas, and Orange Bang drinks. Now to the foods! My friend and I both got West Coast cheesesteak sandwiches, makes sense because of the name of the place! However, we changed up on how we did both of them. Mine had provolone cheese, peppers, Jalapeños and mushrooms. My friends had poblano cheese, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and jalapeños. Let me tell you, both of these sandwiches were incredibly great! We did both share each other sandwiches. My favorite two ingredients of both sandwiches was the poblano cheese and the mushrooms. They make their poblano cheese sauce, fresh daily, and they really know how to cook a great mushroom here! We also had the chili cheese tots which are newer and also onion rings with the ranch dip. They have a really great chilly here and it's not too heavy and of course the cheddar cheese they put on it is amazing! Everything here tasted so good! You gotta come check this place out if you haven't already!!!

Crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, a fluffy slightly sweet bun, and a housemade ranch that had me wondering why I don't put ranch on everything!?!?! Actually , I JUST started liking ranch recently. The fries disappeared faster than my motivation to pack a lunch lol!! I didn't believe in food delivery before but at this rate, I could get very comfortable with this whole "food magically appears wherever you want it to" type of lifestyle!!!

Wienerschnitzel

I know it's just another Wienerschnitzel in the area, but I've made it a point to come to this…read morelocation specifically because of the amazing customer service. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with such a warm welcome, and the staff always makes me feel appreciated as a customer. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, and my orders have consistently been prepared just the way I like them. It's the little things, like a friendly smile, a positive attitude, great food, and a comfortable environment, that really make a difference. You can tell the employees here take pride in what they do, and that definitely doesn't go unnoticed. Great customer service can be hard to come by these days, so I wanted to take a moment to recognize this team for consistently going above and beyond. Keep up the great work! You've definitely earned yourself a loyal customer!

Let's be completely honest: it's not what it used to be…read more Unfortunately, not all Wienerschnitzels are what they once were, so that's something to keep in mind when visiting one today. As for this particular location, I have to give them credit. It's nice, clean, and well-kept. The people working there were extremely friendly and nice--just beautiful people, inside and out. They were welcoming and did their jobs with a smile. As for the food... well, it's pretty much the same as always, and sometimes that can be disappointing. I ordered a pastrami burger, and I expected what anyone would expect: a burger with a nice, generous helping of pastrami. Unfortunately, that's not what I got. What I received was a burger with just a couple of strips of pastrami. Needless to say, that was disappointing. When you order a pastrami burger, you expect to actually get a good amount of pastrami on it. And honestly, I don't blame the employees. They're most likely following whatever portions they've been instructed to use in an effort to save money. I understand that businesses are dealing with higher costs, but cutting back on the very thing people are coming to you for isn't the answer. So this next part goes out to every Wienerschnitzel that is still operating: You need to do better. Wienerschnitzel is an American classic. It's an icon. You've been around for more than half of my lifetime, and you've been loved by generations of people. I understand that times have changed. I understand that food costs, labor, and everything else have become more expensive. But please don't lose sight of what made people love Wienerschnitzel in the first place. When someone orders a pastrami burger, give them a pastrami burger--not a burger with a couple of strips of pastrami. People are willing to pay for good food. They just want to feel like they're getting what they paid for. Wienerschnitzel has been around long enough to know what an American classic is supposed to be. Please bring some of that old Wienerschnitzel back. We're still here, and we still love it.

I'm a regular patron of the Glendora store, my part-time gig work delivering meals finds me, a semi-retired Fortune 100 exec, ferrying Three-Finger Combos and Caniac Combos to the hungry twenty-something Zoomers of Glendora and surrounding cities 2-3 times/week. On Monday, while picking up an order I allowed myself to be momentarily spellbound by the tantalizing scents and placed an order for a Caniac Combo (extra Texas Toast, hold the cole slaw). This, despite a duo of unsatisfactory visits to the chain's Chino and Downey venues. The good can be swiftly recounted- The super friendly staff and blazing fast service. On my every visit, I'm greeted by a warm "Hi! Welcome to Canes!" greeting by one of the staff. And my wait times for any order rival an Olympic sprint. But, I ask, what good is friendly and expedient service, if the actual meal disappoints?! On a $20.81 (with tax) Caniac Combo studded with a half dozen chicken fingers fries and two pieces of Texas Toast, the sole ingredient that met my expectations was the sauce, so damned good you wanna drench your meal in it...Alas, the Canes Sauce is most assuredly the boss! But everything else in my combo was as underwhelming as the Wicked films! The chicken was moist but undercooked. Look at the photo and make your own judgment- Does that chicken look well breaded with a warm, crackling exterior? Of course not! The fries were overly greasy and wan, lacking the crisp finish that all good fries must possess. My Texas Toast may derive its origins from the Lone Star State, but in taste and mouth feel they deserve to be left all by their lonesome...fed to the dogs when no one is looking. In sum, while Raising Canes can and will delight its mostly Generation Z customers with delightful service and swift deliveries, the caliber of the meal itself leaves a lot to be desired. When paying a $20 bill, or more, for what is quintessentially mass-produced finger food, you'd reasonably expect to be left licking your fingers in satisfied culmination to your meal. Instead, I'm left tempted to FLICK my finger in annoyance at the squandered money for such a desultory meal. The store's signs and slogans profess a fanatic obsession with food quality so intense that it borders on "One love." But for this particular customer, who's sampled the food at three different Canes due to my own trio of twenty-something kids, I've got (very little) love for the food.
