Huevos rancheros
Chantal S.

O M G! If you are looking for some good food come here!! I was blown away with the flavor of everything I ate here. I left so full and so satisfied , you could roll me out of there. To start off , their turmeric, ginger juice was so beautiful and tasted so delicious. Then I had the briscuit biscuits and omgg they were sooooo flavorful. It was so delicious . The hashbrowns complimented it so well, and came with a sort of aioli sauce that was perfection. My husband had the huevos rancheros and they were very good as well ! I can't wait to head to the beach to eat here again!

Jerk chicken and sauteed greens
Scott S.

Cool outdoor place on smith st serving mostly jerk chicken. I got the 1/2 chicken and sauteed greens. Both were very good with generous portions. Hot sauce was also tasty. Will be back.

I almost don't want anyone to know how great this place is. We stumbled upon this spot just walking around and saw this chill vibe of the back yard and decided to give it a shot. My hubby had the jerk chicken tacos & I had the red bean & feta tacos (minus the feta bc Im vegan) with a side of rice & peas and it was all AMAZING! We met Alan (the owner or chef ?) Who was very zen & chill and welcoming. We can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu! What a gem!

New look. New vibe. Super cool spot. You can now enter the Airstream and listen to music. Watch a game on the flatscreen. Came for a drink on a chill weeknight before I ordered dinner to take home. The food currently offered is Mexican and we were super happy. Great overall authentic.

Was excited when I saw this pop up. The closest jerk chicken around here is 5th Avenue in park slope and it's an expensive Restaurant that charges close to $30 for jerk chicken. Got the 1/2 chicken and it was quite good. Served with a side of what I was told was jerk sauce but tasted more like hot sauce. was very good- more vinegar base than traditional jerk sauce though but I'm not the jerk police (or am I?). I did drink the remaining sauce if that tells you anything. Wouldn't mind the chicken a bit spicier but I thought it was very solid and saves me the trip of going to prospect lefferts gardens or crown heights for the well known jerk spots. Will go back and try sides next time and the soup.

Pecking House - Chili chicken sandwich

We ordered a variety of spice levels, and even the mild had plenty of flavor despite not being very spicy. If the food was this good after delivery, I can only imagine how amazing it is fresh. I'll definitely be coming back to try it in person the next time I'm in New York! Get the fries!! Wish I got more pictures of the food but I was too hungry !!

Ok, I am not going to lie -- I have been wanting to try their chicken for the longest time but at…read morethe same time, in my opinion, they did not have the best visually esthetic chicken and so every time my colleague and I contemplated on getting it, we turned away. This time, we did not turn away. We finally made a good decision. We ordered the chili chicken leg and the salted egg yolk tenders. I personally preferred the leg over the tenders but it was not bad at all. I loved how rich the flavors were and how they were able to keep the crispiness despite having gotten it as takeout. We ordered it for delivery. Was kind of sad how long the delivery itself took but thankfully the food was still good. Although the cost was a little hefty in my opinion, the portion size was also very big. We were both stuffed. It's not a place I can go often since it's a very heavy meal, on both my wallet and my tummy. Next up, we are going to try their sandwiches!

The meat, sauce, and pickles were all to my liking. The bread was just ok, it started crumbling at some point, so in the future I'd consider chicken without the bread. I got the mac and cheese and I just thought it was ok - kind of grainy, which surprised me because others on yelp spoke highly of it. Maybe it was just an off night. I'd return but I'd switch up my order.

FLUFFY!! Just like the name suggests! Surprising, as things usually don't work out that way…read more.. My husband and I came here late after a night out. I ordered the chicken tenders & fries which came with cole slaw and pickle slices. The chicken really was battered & fried to fluffy perfection!! It had a soft & unique texture I don't recall ever tasting before. The sides were also fantastic; fries were crispy hot, cole slaw was not too wet or too dry with excellent flavor and the pickle slices were refreshing after a bite of the medium-spice level chicken. And don't get me started on that sauce!! It was perfect for both the chicken & fries, I loved it! Definitely check this place out if you're a fried chicken connoisseur! :)

Raising Cane's keeps its concept incredibly simple, focusing almost entirely on chicken tenders,…read morefries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and its signature sauce. I walked into a bright, clean, and energetic restaurant with a fast-paced atmosphere that reflects how popular the chain has become. Even with a line forming at the counter, the staff kept things moving efficiently, and the operation felt well organized considering the volume of customers coming through the door. I went with one of the tender combos, which is really the reason most people come here in the first place. The chicken tenders were juicy, freshly cooked, and had a crispy coating that held up well without feeling overly heavy. The coating had a good crunch that stayed intact through the meal, and the chicken itself was moist and tender throughout. The real standout, though, is the Cane's Sauce. It adds a tangy, peppery flavor that works perfectly with the chicken and honestly ties the entire meal together. Between the tenders, crinkle-cut fries, and Texas toast, it is a simple meal, but one that is executed consistently well. The toast is buttery and soft, and the fries are solid enough to hold their own alongside the main event. One thing I have noticed is that the chicken can occasionally feel a little greasy depending on the visit, especially if you are ordering a larger combo. For some people that may not be an issue at all, while others might find it sits a bit heavy afterward. That has varied from visit to visit, but it is worth mentioning because the meal is definitely on the richer side compared to some other fast food chicken options. The coleslaw provides a lighter contrast, though it is a fairly standard version of the side and does not stand out the way the chicken and sauce do. The staff during my visit were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was well maintained. Food came out quickly, and despite the limited menu, there is something refreshing about a place that focuses on doing one thing rather than trying to offer dozens of different options. The simplicity of the menu makes the decision process easy, and the consistency of the meal across visits is a big part of the appeal. Raising Cane's delivers a satisfying chicken tender meal with quality chicken, a great signature sauce, and consistently solid sides. It may not be the lightest meal around, but when you are in the mood for crispy chicken tenders and a straightforward comfort-food combo, it is easy to see why so many people keep coming back. The meal is familiar, filling, and hits the right notes for what it sets out to do.

Just some good ol' great raising canes and great food and great staff! Pretty average but really…read moregood.
