Raising Cane's is a new chicken joint just off of Broadway and the loop in what used to be the church parking lot of First Christian Church. They just opened up shop in the past couple of months and as usual, Tylerites line up to try something new.
The spread: They have a VERY focused menu. You can basically order chicken fingers, fries, Texas toast and coleslaw in one combination or another. They also have a 'famous' Cane sauce. They have drive through and dine in options.
The verdict: Maybe I was expecting too much. They advertise that they marinate their chicken fingers for 24 hours and that I would be crazy for their Cane sauce. The chicken fingers were good, the food came out fast and my order was correct. The chicken fingers are definitely the best I have had in town, but that isn't saying much. The chicken fingers were cooked well and were pretty juicy, but there really wasn't any "wow" factor. Nothing really stood about in the flavor profile. I was also a little disappointed in the Cane sauce, it was basically a very mildly spiced mayo/aoili emulsion. I basically think whether or not you will love Raising Cane's will come down to what you think about the Cane sauce because nothing else really stands out. I was ambivalent about the sauce and thus ambivalent about Raising Cane's. It is definitely worth trying out once to see what you think for yourself.
Edible Tyler Roses: 2.5 out of 5. Worth a try, but not my thing.
