Canes is one of my favorite restaurants in the entire world! Now you might think that is an exaggeration because it’s just a fried chicken fast food place, but really, it’s much more. To start with, they have an amazing yet simple menu of delicious chicken, buttery toast, heavenly sauce, and always fresh fries. The menu only has a few options on it, but they do everything on there so well that I don’t mind at all. I have been to Canes at least a hundred and fifty times over the past several years and have never had a problem with the food, service, or cleanliness of the restaurant. The staff there always have a witty line when going through the drive through and smiles when you go inside. There are movie posters on all the walls and good music always playing. All these things and their extended hours make a great atmosphere to hang out with friends in. I’ve been to canes after cross meets and practices, for dates, after football games and parties, before some of the best nights of my life, and even after a funeral. It is just such a good place to exist in. I’d recommend this place to literally anyone, they welcome people from all walks of life, and I love them for it!

As a freshman at the University of Kentucky, Raising Cane’s is one of my go to spots for food on campus. It’s super convenient and right by the student center. Canes is the perfect place for when you’re in between classes or just craving something quick and delicious. The chicken fingers are always hot and crispy, and the Cane’s Sauce is honestly amazing (I’d drink it if I could). The toast and crinkle fries just hit different heights after a long day of classes. It can get pretty busy, especially during lunch or after a game, but the line usually moves fast, and the workers are always sweet. It’s also a great late-night spot when you’re studying and need something fast that isn’t boring dining hall food. As a new student still figuring out campus life, it’s just nice to have a place that feels familiar and always hits the spot. 10/10 recommendation for any UK freshman.

Hello, fellow reviewers, this Raising Cane’s location in Lexington was just amazing. As a college student, the location is very convenient since it is right next to campus. On my visit here, I ordered the Box Combo meal, which consists of four chicken tenders, one can of sauce, Texas toast, coleslaw, as well as a drink and fries. I substituted the coleslaw for another piece of Texas toast because it is just so good. The sauce here is to die for, easily the best housemade sauce I’ve had. Upon entering, the staff were very friendly and inviting, as well as the whole atmosphere of the place. The tenders were cooked to a crispy perfection, but the fries were a little flimsy. All in all, the restaurant was very upkept and tidy with very friendly staff that made me feel welcomed. My visit to Canes was a very pleasant one, to say the least.

This Raising Canes location is doing a great job! The staff working were friendly and know how to get food to you FAST. You can tell that the food was freshly made and it tasted A-MAZ-ING! I love this location specifically because of all of the memorabilia that you can look at while waiting for your order. There’s a big “UK” logo next to the Canes wall and numerous pictures framed showing off the college’s history. We loved going around and looking at all of the hidden pictures they have displayed. They also have a board next to the register labeled “Community” that highlights Cane’s action in the community of Lexington. You can tell that the owner of this location is proud to be part of the University of Kentucky and they prove that further as a highly reliable fast food facility for all people of UK to eat and enjoy at. This location is open late and is the perfect spot if you’re craving amazing food!

We usually go to the location in Hamburg but we were in the area. We received the same friendly service and hot fresh food that we expected. The food came out quickly. We usually get both the cane’s sauce and the honey mustard. We love their honey mustard which isn’t listed on the menu. I usually get an extra piece of bread or sub extra bread for a different side because it is soooo good.

Nice restaurant to go to. The food is good, and their sweet tea is to die for. My granddaughter loves it. The restaurant is neat and clean. They have pictures all over the walls that are really cool to see. They have a drive, and they get people in and out fast. The employees that I had a chance to see are really nice and helpful. Great place to go, and I highly recommend their chicken fingers and sweet tea.

I love this place! Their food never disappoints, especially the bread. If you’re not a coleslaw fan, you can always replace it with another piece of the toast which is what I do personally. The chicken itself is great, and is always super juicy. The unique part of Cane’s is the sauce, which is also super good. They also have some of the best sweet tea ever. The staff is usually super nice and you get your food pretty fast, but they were playing music really loud one time which was kind of annoying. The location is also super convenient for me specifically, being a college student, I pretty regularly have a good bit of time in-between classes so I can pretty regularly come here and eat. Overall, I’ve never had a truly bad experience going here, and its relatively affordable considering the amount of food you’re given. If you’ve never been to a Cane’s, you’re missing out!

I have heard a lot about Raising Cane’s, and I love chicken tenders, so I was very excited to come try them out. I think something that is interesting about their establishment is that they do not have any other sauce than their Cane’s sauce. Their specialty sauce is really good and goes well with the chicken and the fries. I got the Box Combo, which comes with four chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, and one cup of Cane’s sauce. The Texas toast was very good. It was toasted perfectly and tasted great. Sometimes I get Texas toast that is too dry or too flavorless, but I did not experience that here. The crinkle-cut fries were also good. The chicken was honestly just okay. I was a little disappointed by it, but I also have been having an amazing local place that might have heightened my expectations. All in all, I think this was a great place to try out. I don’t think I will seek out their locations like I know some people do, but I definitely enjoyed the meal for the pricepoint. The people working were also very nice, and the location itself was awesome and decorated with University of Kentucky memorabilia.

Seriously, their chicken is always so perfectly crispy. And that sauce? It’s just the best, I could eat it with everything. I always crave it when I’m in the mood for something satisfying. It’s a go-to for a reason, you know? Definitely recommend if you haven’t tried it.

amazing workers that are good and helpful under pressure (great to have considering the location). a nice security guard that i see there every time i go.
HOWEVER, tonight, a girl around my age (19) STOLE MY FOOD. she took advantage of BOTH my kindness AND the young woman behind the counter. very inconsiderate. she and her little friend came in with pajamas and took MY entire order and pretended to be my friend. strode on up to me giggling and gave me MY lemonade and tricked me. i didn’t see my food in her hand. i even complimented her pajamas. what a shame.
