Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers — Restaurant in Omaha

First time ever going to Raising Cane's. Got there on a Tuesday evening around 7pm. The drive thru lanes were packed, but appeared to be moving with surprising efficacy. Still, I traded the convenience of remaining inside my car for the opportunity to enrich my first time here by parking and visiting the inside.

Entering the facility off of 144th and Center I was overwhelmed with an immediate buzz in the air, a sense of energy and motion. It was busy, but not chaotic. With many customers and a lot of staff moving about the place. Staff calling out numbers, customers placing orders. The staff turning around each other behind the registers whilst the customers weave in between themselves getting to the drink fountains and the napkins. All the while appearing synchronized almost choreographed.

Busy? Indeed, A small line of customers when you enter? You bet. That is where the divine purpose of the wonderful waltz happening around the order counter became clear: efficiency. People were waiting to order when I entered, however I did not even finish browsing the short menu before I was my turn. They do a great job of cooking customers from order to eating.

I was taken aback but also somewhat impressed by the simplicity of the menu. If you've not been you'll it right away. It's simple. There are three meal combo options, each consisting of fries, slaw, Texas Toast, and a varying number of chicken strips. There is a kid's meal as well.

I ordered two three price combo meals, a sandwich, and a kid's meal. One taste of the chicken and you know why the menu is so simple. They do one thing very very well and they let it speak for itself. The chicken is good. Very good. It was moist and juicy on the inside. Perfectly cooked. The outside was crunchy and with the right amount of seasoning and flavor. The strips were sizable, significant even. Whilst three chicken tenders somewhere else would be an appetizer, here it definitely makes a meal.

So You may be asking why I assigned four stars and not 5. To get the fifth star first and foremost improve on the side items. The fries were as underwhelming as the chicken was impressive. The Texas toast was decent. The coleslaw hit the level of average grocery deli fare at best. Takeaway: The fries and the slaw need some love. The other reason I didn't provide the five stars is the cost. Whike delicious, it is rather pricey. For the two combos that kids meal in a sandwich my total was $40. I didn't expect it to be so high. To solve that try more combo options not including all sides in every combo. An example might include a combo that is just chicken tenders and the slaw at a reduced price point.

Great chicken. Speedy...

Edit: After I went back a couple of times after I posted this review eventually I stopped encountering the latter problem at this location.

Whether it was because of this review or coincidence it is still enough to re-rank my review. thank you guys!

• (Problem: I don’t have this problem with any other Raising Canes locations it is just this one.

Their lemonades do not have enough sugar in them. Every time I ask for a sweet Arnold Palmer the lemonade part of it does not taste the same compared to other locations.

I also know that they’re not adding enough sugar because one of my friends works at this location. When I told them about it they said that some of their coworkers are too dumb to just add a certain amount of sugar into the water like they’re supposed to.

Also they seem to forget to add the extra cane’s sauce I ask for. I know there is an extra charge for them. I’m willing to pay that extra charge. When the person rings back my order they say extra canes sauce when they’re reading the order back to me. Just when I go to actually receive the food it’s not in there. Missing it once or twice is understandable. Mistakes happen. This happens however every time I go to this location.

I hope this review will make it to someone’s eyes that way they can tell their employees what to do to improve. I like eating at Raising Canes I enjoy it.

I do not want to be receiving my food, going into the parking lot, checking my food just to make sure I receive everything. That’s got to be one of the worst experiences if I have to do that. That is...

Stopped here on a visit to see my stepson at Boystown on an outing a lot of the tables were dirty the cashier's attitude sucked he seem to not care every time someone new walked in the door as we were eating he got frustrated mumbling to himself loud enough for me to hear the word damn used about 6 different paper towels to clean one table thank God for the blonde girl who was working who emptied his trash and cleaned his tables for him otherwise they'd still be over the top as they were when we walked in another gal handed a customer her food leaned over her food and her hair almost went in it that customers food she was upset and told her that if she wanted to eat her hair she would have ordered her hair very disappointed with the Omaha Raising Cane's Lincoln is a lot better I would not stop at this location ever again also when handing my wife change on breaking a hundred dollar bill he handed her the change that he quickly counted and told her here count this make sure it's right when did we become the cashier hopefully their other...
