[@MartyGlenn72]

I learned over the years to never go to the first day of a new eatery. It’s unusually busy, the employees are just getting used to everything, and many mistakes are made. I usually wait a couple of weeks before I go to a new food location. To let things settle down…

[@JWNS08]

You are so right!

[@MartyGlenn72]

[@DavidLancast]

PROTIP for Canes ordering: Always ask for your frys EXTRA CRISPY, and pass on the booboodafoo slaw. Ask for an extra slice of toast instead. Cause just like Daym said, that toast is one of the best things in the box.

[@saucyx4]

Don’t forget to get the toast buttered on both sides

[@EternalAgony29]

Man thats game changing, didnt know i could get it xtra crispy!

Our Raising Cane in Charlottesville Va is always busy. They had to hire security so they can keep traffic going. It’s so hard getting out of there. We call it chicken corner because they have KFC, Raising Canes, and Popeyes there together.

Here in Canada the McRib is back, so I've been making McRib hacks. The BawkRib: Order a double Junior Chicken (McChicken in the USA) without the buns. Then insert the patties and sauces into the McRib The McPorker: Same general idea but you order the McRib with bacon strips, and then order a double Sausage McMuffin - and stuff the latter into the former. :)

[@michaelrocks8889]

​@@littlesmallworld123i was kinda disappointed I went to Popeyes and that was amazing 😍

[@drunkenactionfigureunboxin5138]

The sauce isn’t a bbq sauce, it’s mayo and ketchup based with lemon pepper, garlic powder, salt and Worcestershire. That’s it. You get the ratio right and let it sit in the fridge for an hour and there’s no reason to ever go back to canes.

[@birdm83]

For McDonald's. 1. Order and mcchicken add pickles and ask for a packet of habanero sauce and a packet of sweet and sour sauce. And just dip the burger in both. 2. Order an Oreo mcflurry with smarties. Order an apple pie. Make sure it's warm and take the middle part of the pie like where the fillings at and put it in the mcflurry and just mash it all up and mix it.

Exactly lol for me the toast and sweet tea🔥 the sauce is disgusting and everything else trashhhhhbags 💯🤦

[@UNKNOWN1010]

Its 3 things i do to make it much better. I like going there sometimes because i know im getting my tenders made to order. How ever. You tell them make the tenders extra crispy. Put some black pepper on them as soon as you get them because the tenders will still be hot with a little grease on them that will help the pepper stick. Last an this is most important, mix a little hot sauce in the caine sauce. It take it to the next level with that soft kick from the hot sauce. Trust me yall, try those 3 things an see how you feel after

[@Fenderdfm]

Happy Valentine's day yall!! Have fun and please be safe! Jesus loves you

[@NicbEdit]

I like the chicken from cane's because its's juicy, tender, thick, crunchy but where is the flavor. Most of the people go to cane's for the meal with garlic bread, chicken tenders and cane sauce.

[@LongLostYellowRanger]

When I go to Cane's I always order my chicken fried crispy and well done, same for the fries, and I always ask for the toast to be buttered and toasted on both sides. When that chicken is crispy it's excellent!!!

[@bertooo1358]

You definitely need to get out more that food is so bland no seasoning!

[@GT-GTHIZZLE]

The bread slaps...the tenders need some more seasoning and some times they need to cook the chicken just a min longer

[@chrismorain7693]

The sauce has ketchup and Mayo and Worcester sauce and a few ingredients I use to work at canes

Mc Donald’s cheeseburgers add Big Mac sauce. And put about 12 fries into the cheeseburger.

[@MsDragonprincess]

As far as Mcdonalds hack - try asking for them to steam your bun. the steamer is used for the fish sandwich but it really adds to any of the other sandwiches like the big mac. Or you can have the land, sea air burger a big mac with a filet of fish and mcchicken wedge inside.

[@crusher645]

the problem with canes to go boxes is it make the fries soggy.

[@psychorabbitt]

I don't know - I love Cane's. I first had it years ago when in Texas and was pumped when Massachusetts finally got one. So every time I'm in Boston I make a point to go over. Now there's a second one in Boston and one in Metrowest. I keep hoping for one to open in my part of the state. I always get the Caniac combo, and I sub the slaw for another toast. But that's because I just flat out don't like slaw.

[@nickkareem3892]

I use to work at KFC so I was the king of Big Back Menu Hacks (don’t steal that). Take a fried filet, a biscuit, honey, and grape jelly. Slice the biscuit in half. Honey on 1 side, grape jelly on the other. Now smack the filet between em to build the chicken biscuit……my GAWT! A salty sweet treat for dudes with size 15 feet

[@SickestCompilations]

Dip those fries in the sauce,better yet, get you an extra soft butter bread instead of coleslaw and put a tender in between both butter breads,and it won’t hurt to put some of that sauce on it as well,take a bite and see how you like it,if you wana get crazy you can add a few fries to your makeshift chicken butter toast sandwich!!! It should be on the menu!!! Let me know how you like it,I hope you try it.

[@Schola718]

You didn’t get in DC, because they just got their 1st last month in union station lol

At McDonalds order the double fish filet with cheese, no tartar sauce, add pickles and their spicy sauce

I doubt you went to Raising Cane's in DC, unless it was in the last five weeks. From their website, "The newest historic landmark in the Nation's Capital is here - the first Raising Cane's in Washington, DC will officially open its doors inside Union Station on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024..."

[@tirrellaskew9992]

I disagreed initially but he stated “blackened” sauce and that’s the exact flavor with Popeyes. Don’t feel KFC is a good comparison but it tenders. He’s 100% on point.

[@drasticbread249]

Okay Daym, I'm an experience Caniac and I have a few secret menu tips for your next stop in: *Honey Mustard Sauce - home made just like the Cane sauce *"Bob" the toast - they toast both sides of the Texas Toast with butter *Lemon wedges - I always ask for one to squeeze into that coleslaw, it's a little bland just the way it comes. Main thing about those fingers, they need plenty of sauce to really be delicious. The selling point for me is that it's always mad fresh, and cooked perfectly 99% of the time.

[@Callymasta]

Hey Daym, try swapping out the regular big mac patties with 2 quarter pound patties turning it into a half pound monster mac! You wont be disappointed, I promise

[@toxictonic12888]

you gotta get the fries extra crispy. the steam from them being fresh gets rid of the crisp. I get em extra crispy and extra salt. and always get an extra sauce. the chicken fingers are good bc they are fresh and have good texture and they're juicy. theres zero flavor... BUT its supposed to be dipped in the sauce and theres big flavor in the sauce. if you get them plain you are just letting yourself down. although I think the best combination is popeyes spicy tenders with the canes sauce

[@senadmusic57]

Daym. The play for McDonalds is a double quarter pounder, but replace the ketchup and mayo for Mac sauce. Thats the only combo better than the big mac.

[@nsusaint]

Daym, when you hit up Raising Cane's you gotta go "NO FRIES, NO SLAW, EXTRA EXTRA TOAST"
