Hello, The Trekking Pawns here! We know it’s a fast food spot, but we just had to try Raising Cane’s while in New Orleans!
First Impressions Walking in, the vibe was fun and inviting—it had that Red Robin-style décor, but with a New Orleans twist, featuring local sports team memorabilia. The menu was straightforward and simple, which we appreciated. No overwhelming choices—just chicken done right.
We went in around 3 pm and the place was not crowded, tables were clean, but still a steady stream of people coming in (and in the drive through) for food.
We ordered:
The Chicken Sandwich Combo 🍔 The Chicken Fingers Combo 🍗 The food came out fast, fresh, and hot—exactly what you want from a fast food spot. The chicken was top-notch, just like Chick-fil-A quality, with a crispy, well-seasoned breading and tender, juicy meat. The fries? Pretty standard, but the real game-changer? THE SAUCE. For a fast food joint, Raising Cane’s absolutely did not disappoint. We’re glad we gave it a try in its hometown, and honestly, we’d eat here again in a heartbeat.
The Sauce – The Star of the Show! New Orleans knows how to do sauces, and Raising Cane’s is no exception. Their signature sauce had a nice little kick (black pepper seasoning, perhaps?) that paired perfectly with the fries, chicken, and even the Texas toast that came with the meal. We were seriously impressed! If only Raising Cane’s sold bottles of it—we would’ve stocked up for sure. For a fast food joint, Raising Cane’s absolutely did not disappoint. We’re glad we gave it a try in its hometown, and honestly, we’d eat here again when we need a quick bite to eat, especially to and from the...

Read moreI asked for paper in my Togo styrofoam and the guy taking order said “ the paper is for the baskets only” I said well can you please put one in my container because styrofoam is carcinogenic when heated and sometimes melts in food. I knew someone who got cancer from eating from styrofoam everyday at work! When I got order there was no paper under my food so I asked the girl in window for one. She looked confused but got it anyway so I thank her for that. I like Canes chicken but so many carcinogens in their food from those containers and I try to always get the paper so good won’t directly touch it but I see I will have to order inside in a basket then transfer the food to a container that I will bring to go. Here is info on the carcinogens in their styrofoam.
According to Sierra Club, styrene, a raw ingredient in Styrofoam's expanded polystyrene (EPS), can leak into food and drinks, especially if they are heated or fatty. Styrene is a probable carcinogen...
