Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers — Restaurant in Waco

Solid Chicken Spot—But That Bread? Game-Changer

Raising Cane’s is one of those places that sparks a debate every time we pass it—and my wife always wins. She absolutely loves it here, and to be fair, there’s a lot to like.

The chicken tenders are consistently hot and crispy, and the sauce is definitely unique—if you’re a fan, you’re hooked. Personally, I think the tenders could use a bit more seasoning. They’re good, don’t get me wrong, just not mind-blowing on their own. But if you dunk them in that Cane’s Sauce, it brings them to life.

The crinkle-cut fries are decent, but they don’t steal the show. And the coleslaw? I usually pass on that. But let’s talk about the real MVP here—the Texas toast. That bread is the reason I come back. It’s buttery, perfectly grilled, and has that soft middle with crispy edges that just hit right every time. Honestly, it elevates the whole meal.

Service is quick, the place is clean, and the vibe is upbeat. While it may not be my personal top pick for chicken, it’s my wife’s favorite—and that alone keeps us coming through the doors.

If you’re a fan of simple, consistent chicken meals and absolutely amazing toast, Cane’s is worth the stop. Just don’t forget to ask for extra...

Truck driving comes with its challenges, one being the reliance on accurate information for pit stops. Excited to grab a meal after a long drive, I checked Raising Cane's Google hours, which stated they're open until 2 am. Arriving at 1 am, I found out the hard way that dine-in closes at midnight every day and that only their drive thru was still open.

I thought maybe the workers would be accommodating to my situation and let me order on foot at the drive thru, but NOPE they refused to take my order. So considering the fact I couldn't maneuver my truck through the drive-thru, I was left with no option but to leave hungry and frustrated. It's disheartening when businesses don't update their online info, especially for those of us with limited dining choices on the road. Raising Cane's, please update your hours to avoid misleading customers...

Hands down the worst Canes I've ever been to! The chicken is void of any seasoning and the staff is useless. I ordered myself a meal and a kids meal for my daughter and when I went to get her drink they were out of the only non carbonated option. I informed the girl at the counter and she said the syrup must be out. So I went back to the soda fountain to fill my drink and when I got back to the counter she was just standing there, I guess I shouldn't have assumed that she was going to change out the syrup bag. I then asked for lemonade and she finally started doing her job again. This was in the middle of the afternoon so there were only 2 other customers who we're already eating. I now understand why no one was here and the line around the chick-fil-a was as long as it normally is...
