Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers — Restaurant in Fort Wayne

My First Visit to Raising Cane’s: A Tale of Luck, Chicken, and $20 Lemonade

Picture this: a drive-thru line snaking around buildings, stretching for blocks. The doors? Packed with people. But armed with the legendary Luck of the Irish, we braved the chaos. Five minutes later—yes, just five minutes—we were ordering, snagged a table, and were suddenly dining on crispy chicken strips, golden fries, buttery Texas toast, and coleslaw.

The Rundown I ordered the chicken sandwich. For you youngsters, it was bussin’. For the rest of us: it was delicious. What sets Raising Cane’s apart? That sauce. It’s the secret weapon that keeps the masses coming back. The lemonade? Fantastic. But at nearly $20 a gallon, let’s just say I’m not starting a lemonade stand anytime soon. Hats off to anyone willing to shell out for that liquid gold.

As for the coleslaw? Let’s just say it made me appreciate KFC’s version a little more. But hey, I wasn’t there for the slaw, and the rest of the experience made up for it.

The Real MVPs The staff? Fast, friendly, and professional. The place? Squeaky clean. Overall, our first visit was a slam dunk.

Team Feast On another trip, I upped the stakes. I ordered 9 chicken strip meals, 1 sandwich meal, and 1 box combo for my daughter’s basketball team. Scheduled for 3:15 PM, the order was hot, fresh, and ready to go right on time. The team? Hungry and thrilled—they devoured every bite.

Final Verdict If you’re a fan of chicken, Raising Cane’s is a must-visit. Just don’t forget the sauce—it’s what makes the magic happen.

Highly mid. I would've been pretty disappointed if I waited in that drive-thru line forever like everyone seems to be willing to do.

Fries were decent. Somewhat thinner than usual, crispy, crinkle cut. Hard to do that badly.

Garlic bread was alright. It wasn't bad. It also wasn't great. It was too soft and chewy in my opinion, and only one side was crisped. Both sides should be crisped. It also wasn't very garlicky, or flavorful in general. Kinda disappointing because I love garlic bread.

Chicken was decent. Tender, juicy. My only complaint is that their tenders are tiny relative to other chicken places. Three or four inch pieces, max. They were almost laughably small. I got a six piece and did a double take when I opened the box because of how little chicken I seemed to have. Other than that, there wasn't much seasoning and it wasn't particularly crispy. Meh.

The sauce was okay. The color reminds me of what comes out of a burst cyst, to be honest, it's a weird color. It's kinda garlicky, kinda sweet, like a honey mustard with unusual spices. It was definitely unique. Definitely not worth the hype though, especially when it seems like most of the meal is designed as a sauce delivery vehicle with how unseasoned or bland it all is.

Better than: McDonald's Burger King KFC Arby's etc.

Not as good as: Lee's Famous Recipe Dave's Hot Chicken (Indianapolis) or other, "high-end," fast food in the area.

A 6.5 or so out of 10. Almost definitely not something I'll be specifically craving in the future.

Service was fantastic, 10/10. Employees were friendly and welcoming, somehow, despite the unending onslaught of customers. I ordered carry out and was in and out...

This place will never ever get my business. Had my little sister in tears!! Horrible service, lack of professionalism! My dear sister was on her lunch break, she mentioned she had ate at this establishment a few times prior, due to its being so close in proximity to her work. Im not sure of the details of those experiences but she had rushed to my place crying. She went through the line and ordered a 3 piece combo ,wich is $9.50. When they gave her her order she realized they charged her about $17 dollars. Give or take.The order they gave her was a huge family sized basket...... the caniac combo. She went inside and patiently waited in a long line. when she spoke to the person at the register they proceeded to say they needed to retrieve their manager. The manager came out and was careless and disrespectful she claimed it was,"her fault she should've said something when she saw her order on the screen, SO NO REFUNDS". I have never been shouted at and just totally dismissed like that in any establishment, especially not when they were in the WRONG.....even if you don't offer refunds, there was no apology for the mistake that they had made. I have 10 years of experience in customer service and could never imagine treating a customer like this. My sister was embarrassed and shouted at, and blatantly disrespected in front of other customers at that. I also do not understand how a 3 piece combo sounds like a caniac combo, while that is also a pretty significant price difference. Hope you're proud of yourself making a little girl cry on her lunch break. You're lucky it wasn't me. As I stated above never getting...
