Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers — Restaurant in Lenexa

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of chicken fingers, I embarked on a culinary adventure to Raising Cane's, a place where chickens' dreams (or perhaps nightmares) come to life in the form of crispy, golden-brown fingers. The ambiance was reminiscent of a fast-food joint that had a fleeting aspiration to be a fancy French bistro but then thought, "Nah, let's stick to chicken."

Upon entering, I was greeted by the aroma of frying oil, a scent so powerful it could double as a cologne for the truly chicken-obsessed. The menu, which I suspect was designed by someone with a profound appreciation for minimalism, presented a straightforward choice: chicken fingers, chicken fingers, or, for those feeling rebellious, more chicken fingers.

I placed my order with the enthusiasm of a child in a candy store, or in this case, a chicken store. The staff, clad in their "Canes' Crew" uniforms, moved with the precision of a well-oiled machine, albeit one that's solely dedicated to the production of chicken fingers and the occasional crinkle-cut fry.

Then came the moment of truth: the tasting. The chicken fingers were like little golden batons of joy, accompanied by a sauce so secretive the recipe is probably locked away in a vault somewhere. The fries were a comforting sidekick, and the Texas toast? Let's just say it's the unsung hero of the meal, adding a touch of carb-loaded elegance.

But let's not forget the coleslaw, the underdog of the tray, offering a crunchy respite from the unrelenting wave of protein and carbs. It's like the restaurant's way of saying, "Look, we can do veggies too!"

In conclusion, Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers is a place where simplicity reigns supreme, and the chicken finger is king. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, one that leaves you slightly greasier but undeniably happier. So, if your heart (and stomach) desires a straightforward, unapologetically indulgent chicken escapade, look no further than Raising Cane's, where the chicken finger is not just food—it's a...

While I normally fairly enjoy the food and service I get there, today has tarnished my opinion of Raising Canes. After sitting through the usual line (no fault of them, their food is great!!) My friend and I order two matching combos. Our usual. We were handed a single combo, of course after questioning it the manager (or what I believe to be the manager) comes to the window and asks for our card. They refunded the second order and asked us to continue forward without offering to remake the order completely. Well, a bit bummed out we went home only to find even the first order was made incorrectly. The manager HAD stated that they were full of new people but regardless we're still paying customers and while they did refund the first order, the second wasn't what we ordered and even at that was a lesser combo to the one we DID order. I wish Raising Canes luck in training their new employees and hope my next experience will reflect...

Other than their prices being too high for Chicken Fingers and Fries, They're The Best Chicken Around! I'm saying they're high because, I can go to Popeye's and get 2 Mild Breasts, a Large Box order of Fries and 6 Biscuits, which can feed both my wife and I for dinner and have the extra Biscuits to enjoy for breakfast the next morning, for just under the cost of a single Caniac Combo which I enjoy by myself. To feed my wife and I at Canes for dinner it's $26 for a Caniac Combo and a Box Combo. And I said it before, they never raised their prices through all of Covid, why raise them after the fact? Part of me thinks it's got something to do with the Post Malone Deal. But, what do I know? Sure wish at some point they would offer a dessert, like a Deep Fried Apple Pie. They'd make a killing if they offered Fried Pie! I Love Canes and I will choose them over Popeye's anytime, just can't afford them as often...
