Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers — Restaurant in Hampden Township

I was among the first 100 people on the grand opening day, enduring the wrath of a 19-degree wind chill. Raising Cane’s did a superb job as far as managing the opening day crowds. First, we were handed lanyards with our placement in the queue. There was a live DJ playing good music. There was a coffee truck serving complimentary gourmet coffees, and they handed out swag like ballpoint pens (very unique), pom-poms, cow bells, koozies, hand sanitizers, sunglasses, and keychains. And for the first 100, you also got a coupon card for a free combo meal and a beanie with a nice embroidery of the Raising Cane’s logo.

It was also very nice that they allowed people to use the restrooms before the restaurant opened, and even opened the door 30 minutes ahead of schedule. It’s much appreciated, especially given the weather being so brutally cold. They also enforced numbered order when the door opened to ensure fairness and orderliness. Very well done!

This was the fourth Raising Cane’s I’ve been to, so I’m familiar with their offerings. It is remarkable how chicken fingers seem to be taking over the fast casual food market: In addition to Chick-fil-A, we now have Dave’s Hot Chicken and Raising Cane’s on Carlisle Pike. Heck, even McDonald’s started to promote its new McCrispy Strips as recently as this past May. Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, with chicken fingers being part of its namesake, is definitely in the sweep spot! While its chicken fingers don’t have as much kick as Dave’s or as crispy as McD’s, they are indeed juicy and offer subtle and complex flavors as you consume them with their thick, custom dips. Another standout is their iced tea being part of their fountain drink offering. It’s so tasty and addicting.

I suspect parking space will be an issue. The back of Denny’s parking lot and part of BJ’s parking lot behind the gas station are doomed to be taken over by the...

The chicken fingers were hot. All the Caine's sauce spilled out in the container and the fries also spilled into the plastic bag. Ended up throwing the fries away and eating tasteless chicken fingers with no sauce. 60...

Over priced combo $18.98 and a drink! overrated. The chicken fingers are so small. The sauce is salty and disgusting. Couldn’t eat it at all. Will not recommend it....
