Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers — Restaurant in Liberty

My family, a diverse crew ranging from 13 to 29 (and then there's me, at a dignified 51), absolutely adores Raising Cane's. It's got that lively, bold atmosphere that makes you feel like you're at a party where everyone's just really excited about chicken. And honestly, they've almost perfected the art of the drive-thru line – even when it snakes around the building, they're like a well-oiled chicken-slinging machine.

Now, the food? Fantastic. That Cane's sauce is so good I'd probably put it on my morning toast if I thought my wife wouldn't judge me. And of course, the obligatory bread substitution for the coleslaw is a family tradition – I mean, I appreciate a good slaw, but the rest of my clan looks at it like it's a vegetable (the horror!). This particular location was no exception; we grabbed our order to go, and it was delicious. Even when a DoorDash mix-up briefly threatened our chicken peace, the staff handled it with apologetic grace and efficiency. Top-notch customer service, truly.

So, why not a perfect 5 stars, you ask? Ah, the age-old dilemma of a seasoned (read: old and cheap) consumer. Look, I'm 51, I weigh myself every Monday, and if I'm a pound over, I'm on a diet for a week. My wallet operates on a similar principle. I just can't bring myself to give those extra stars when my inner accountant starts screaming about the price per chicken finger. Is it delicious? Absolutely. Will I be back this summer, probably dragging the whole crew with me? You bet your sweet tea I will. Do I recommend it? Highly, especially if your definition of "too expensive" isn't tied to the fiscal habits of a man who remembers when ten gallons of gas cost less than a single...

My famiy & I had spent the day at an amusement park & we decided to pick dinner up on our way home this past weekend. The kids picked chicken strips, so we made our way to Cane's in Liberty. The smallest family combo was 25 chicken strips & we didn't need that many, so the lady in the drive thru told us we could choose however many we needed. We decided to order 12 strips, a few orders of fries & an order of bread (4-5 slices) totaling around $40. When we got up to the window, the worker asked if we wanted any sauce. I replied I would like a Cane's sauce. She proceeded to tell me that would be additional since they made their own sauce. I was confused, so I clarified that we just ordered & paid for $40 worth of food & she wanted to charge me .42 on my debit card for a tiny cup of sauce. Apparently because she rang them up a certain way, we didn't 'qualify' for a free sauce. WHAT A JOKE!! The manager came to the window.... then ran my card, bet they really needed that change. WE WON'T BE RETURNING.

I followed up with corporate & filled out what they sent me via email & still have heard nothing...

I am a big fan of fried foods and can honestly say that this is the best chicken strip restaurant i have ever visited. I have been there over half a dozen times now and the quality of chicken and tenderness is by far the greatest i have ever eaten. We make them at home and consider our own the best of the best, but honestly, Canes Chicken is at the top and beats our own at home. They also serve the best crinkle french fries this side of the mississippi river.....seriously, they are always hot, crispy, and thick potatoes that you can dip in their own Canes sauce that is awesome too. Not a big fan of their cole slaw and it is the smallest order of slaw that i have ever been served, but none the less the chicken and fries outweigh the cole slaw issue. The texas toast is good too, but would be even better if they toasted it on both sides. I still give them 5 stars because of the strips and fries. i will never go elsewhere for chicken strips/fries again, seriously. Thank goodness they are expanding quickly so i can visit them all over including Lawrence KS. all the way...
