Yelp users haven’t asked any questions yet about Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. Loading interface... Loading interface... Loading interface... If you have grown up in the Columbus, Ohio area, there is no doubt that you know what Raising Cane’s is. Opening its doors in 1996 and quickly expanding across parts of the country, this chicken tenders shop has gained an adoring fan base that lines up around the store every day just to get their hands on some tenders and sauce. I’ll be completely honest with you here: I don’t get the hype. Quite frankly, I think Raising Cane’s is completely overrated. Below are some reasons why:
As I’ve said before on this topic, I’m willing to die on this hill. I really have no reason to hate Raising Cane’s. There’s even some redeemable qualities to this place. The service is always great, the toast is actually pretty damn good, and the crushed ice in the pop machines is a nice touch. Plus, I have to respect the origin story of this place. For anyone who asks me why I think Cane’s is overrated, I can now gladly point them to this article. I may even pin it to my Twitter bio (okay, probably not, I’m not that invested). If you like Cane’s though, that’s okay, just do me a favor and please don’t ask me to go with you.
Why do people like Raising Canes so much?Their chicken is fried fresh.
They're not fried in advance and left to sit for hours in the kitchen. This is why they don't have that greasy taste that other fast-food chains' chicken tenders have. It has a freshly fried taste that is hard to find elsewhere which also explains why it was hailed supreme by many.
Is ChickWhereas the Raising Cane's tenders were thick and super juicy, the one's from Chick-fil-A had more of a crunch and were flatter in shape. It's all up to personal preference, but I preferred the tenders from Raising Cane's.
What's better Popeyes or Raising Cane's?Across the country, Cane's was ranked as the top chicken restaurant in eight states, while Popeyes was only ranked first in one state. Chick-fil-a ranked first in 22 states, making it the overall favorite for the U.S, according to the data.
Is Canes healthier than KFC?So as long as you make this meal a treat and not a diet staple, you're good to go. One 120-calorie chicken finger, for example, has less calories, fat, and sodium than the same thing from KFC, as well as three more grams of protein.
