I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

However, the prior P is for Playa Bowl in Baltimore County was in Q is for Quarry Lake, so the location coincidentally started with Q. I believe Raising Cane's in Columbia was the 3rd location in Maryland to open. First was Towson in early 2023 I think, then Gambrills in Sept. 2023 (went on their 2nd day; see my 5-star of them), and then Columbia in early 2024 I think. The first time I visited the Columbia location was in March 2024, where I redeemed a green leprechaun lemonade, but I had already eaten or had other dinner plans. My first visit to get food was in July 2024. This was my girlfriend's first time at Raising Cane's. She loved it as did I per the other times I had in the past including the first time trying them in AZ in mid 2010's. I visited Cane's Columbia a couple of other times in the past two years. Always great chicken strips, fries, & Texas toast. I'm not a big coleslaw person, but I like theirs ok. I normally get half sweet/half unsweet tea, which is delicious freshly brewed. It's often busy, but staff is cordial, and pretty organized and efficient.

I've lived in Russett neighborhood in Maryland City for 4 years, and drove by many time, but I never thought about the food truck there. On Thursday, October 17, I wanted to try a new business in my area that I hadn't been as I tend to go to the same old places in Corridor Marketplace. For Mexican food, it's Chipotle (Americanized-Mexican, but is good) & a taco place [Cabrito] connected to the Shell gas station (which I had once in 2021; was pretty good, went on a Wednesday and realized Tuesday was discount day, but wasn't so impressed I didn't feel overly compiled to go back). When I arrived, I thought it was connected to the liquor store there, but I realized it was a food truck. Although they had some outside seats, it was chilly that night plus already civil twilight, so I decided I'd take home. I think I had originally intended on eating inside whatever place, but I didn't care that much. The staff was nice, answering my couple of questions. I got the Carne Asada, which comes with rice & beans as well as a bean pupusa. The pupusa was amazing, and the entree was excellent too. I would definitely return.

The corn tortillas tasted homemade but were very dry, and the veggies were fresh. I ordered the chicken and steak tacos since this was my first time ordering from this establishment -simple seemed best.

If you are looking for a seasoned tasty bite, please go somewhere else and spend $12 for 4 tacos.

Tonight my husband suggested it and I figured, why not? I'm so glad I did. The inside is clean and spacious, and the staff is quick and friendly. Our waiter (whose name I unfortunately forgot) was phenomenal. I've been to all types of restaurants: chill spots, trendy places, authentic gems, even Michelin‑star dining. This guy gave me a true 5‑star experience. He interacted with everyone at the table (my husband, our 5‑year‑old, 3‑year‑old, and 1‑year‑old), and when he learned it was our first visit, he did something I've never experienced anywhere. He took the time to highlight the cleanliness of the kitchen, the camaraderie among the staff, the quality of the ingredients they use, and even broke down the menu for us! What would fit our preferences, what was most cost‑effective, and his own recommendations. We ordered the Build Your Own Feast for Two: choice of two meats and two sides. The brisket was phenomenal, the burnt ends were incredibly flavorful, and we even added an extra meat because everything was that good. This is officially my new go‑to grill spot for any BBQ cravings. And let me tell you... they have a huge margarita for $6. Two of those and I was feeling GREAT. Absolutely recommend. Great food, great servers, great experience.

I was surprised there was no drive thru! Park and go inside to order? What kind of place is this---unheard of! The interior was clean, modern, and well maintained. The two cashiers were attentive and wearing masks. There was a plastic shield between customers and employees. Even a table was placed so you don't get too close to them behind the counter. The cashiers were both super friendly and helpful; it was almost as if they were being extra nice because they knew I had a poor experience at another Arby's earlier in the day. Both were competent and knew how to operate the register, understand their point-of-sale system, and know how to process a gift card with zero difficulty. My food (French dip sandwich with extra provolone cheese) was ready within seconds. Two entrances make getting in and out easy. The dining area was sufficiently spaced out for seating. I will definitely return to this location.
