spent the weekend in chicago for the cure concert it was midnight and the wife suddenly demanded food she decided she wanted canes, there was only one open till 1am, and it was a 30 minute drive 9 miles away. i couldnt fathom how it could take that long, but you're either hitting a stop sign or a stop light every other block. anyway, we made the trip, went inside, and had awesome chicken. when we went to our car in the lot, i saw a weird building that kinda had a cool lighting to it, so I went to take a picture of it. as I was framing the shot, some white car with blacked out windows pulls up about 30' away between me and the building and just sat there blocking the shot. i tilted my head sideways like a 'what the gently caress are you doing' look and they still sat there. couldnt see anyone. decided I didnt want to push my luck at 1am in the middle of nowhere downtown chicago and got in the car. then they started circling the lot slowly. creepy fuckers. thats my Canes in Chicago story

There are some extremely zealous parking lot towing operations that will tow your car if you step foot off the property so it might have been the owner of the towing operation scouting your car. There’s a McDonald’s near me in Chicago that’s notorious for this, a spotter for the towers just sits in the parking lot all day and there are signs on adjacent businesses warning not to park at the McDonald’s.

Makes more sense, as the lot I was parked in wasn't part of Canes. Still creepy as gently caress at 1am.

A lot of these places just opened near me and they are pretty mediocre that is my review.
They made the beer gay and I said ok, who cares? Apparently my neighbor Keith.

Dave's sauce is slightly better than Canes, but both are inferior to Shack Sauce. Dave's cheese fries are almost as good as Shake Shack's, but their mac and cheese isn't as good as Church's. Dave's tenders are better than Canes, Dave's obviously brines, but both are really good. I got the 'hot' spice level and they had ok heat. One Dave's tender is equivalent to about 2 Canes tenders. This reads like a math word problem, dammit.

I have returned from the Post Malone Dallas Cowboys Raising Canes. I ordered my Box Combo The Posty Way™. I don't know what I was supposed to do with the salt and pepper packets; perhaps the fries, which were worse than usual. I did not get to see the merchandise vending machine but there was a suit of medieval armor for some reason. I formally support other fast food restaurants teaming up with celebrities I don't know and/or sports teams to make weird museums. Thank you, I yield the rest of my time.

had some last night and it was good, but we noticed the tenders are smaller now the past 2 times we've gone. they've shaved maybe 25% of them off.

i say swears online posted:i thought it was a culver's at first so it's a major improvement The outside of the top picture does sort of look like a Culvers, but I would take Culvers over Canes the vast majority of the time. Canes does like 2 things right (the sauce, and how they cook, but not exactly how they season, their chicken) and that's about it. Culvers does way more things right.

uber_stoat posted:"worse than usual"!? usually those things are school cafeteria grade. sorry for your loss. Yeah, they were packed (yesterday was the opening and they still had three cops hanging around for security) so I don't really blame them but the fries needed at least a few more minutes in the fryer, they were way undercooked. Usually the fries are at least good for mopping up the last of the sauce but I threw them and my extra sauce out. One love chicken fingers.

So they are opening a Canes about an hour away from me. Is it worth the trip? There are plenty of decent options around 15-20 minutes away.

canes is great when it's nearby especially because they have the single fastest drive thru of any place i've ever been (which they should when you're so committed to only selling one goddamn thing that you can't even have a spicy tendy) so it's legitimately fast food but if you drive more than ten minutes it's extra not worth it because the fries have a shelf life of whenever your grandmother was born

How do you feel about high quality, unseasoned, flavorless chicken tenders with a really good sauce, excellent Texas toast and absolutely nothing else worth talking about? If you find yourself in the area go for it, don't make a special trip.

One opened in our town about 6 months ago. We went twice and I really haven't had any desire to go back. A Dave's Hot Chicken opened about a month later and they are great, though. Their sauce is better than Dave's but not actually required to enjoy the chicken. Although it's good with the fries.

It's not worth an hour drive. The chicken is pretty good, though. It's juicy, and while the breading isn't as seasoned as Popeyes, it's better than KFC, and leagues better than Chick-fil-A which has zero seasoning - no pepper or anything at all. Dave's Hot Chicken here is a bust. We've tried them twice now and.. eh. Probably never going again.

Our isn't like that at all. We've been going maybe once a month since they opened last year and the tenders are large, breading is solid/crispy, and the chicken juicy. Maybe not as large as when they first opened, but I dont feel cheated for what we pay. The sauce is more than enough for the tenders and fries, and I dunk the poo poo out of everything. We usually have leftovers.

had canes last night and yeah, our local one has gotten super lovely. like on a food level it's just fine, i won't spit it out or anything, but it used to be huge, juicy, well seasoned and now we get a lot more overcooked and small tenders that are not worth the like 30% price hike over the last couple of years

Nikumatic posted:well seasoned I've only had Cane's a handful of times, but I don't remember the chicken ever being all that well seasoned. Yeah the sauce is tasty, and while the chicken at least used to be decent size and quality (not sure recently or by location), the chicken seasoning wise never stood out to me on its own.

well the seasoning was mostly like salt and pepper, but mostly it wasn't TOO salty and it tasted just fine to eat by itself. now there's no choice but to slather it in the sauce for flavor.

Oh yeah I'm no spice fiend or anything close to it, but as I have said in this thread before and others have agreed, I always thought Cane's seasoning was unremarkable at best, with the sauce doing the heavy lifting. However I haven't had it in a while, so if it managed to go downhill from there, well I'm not sure what to say, lol.
