[@SweatPantsJoeEATS]

Thank you! i don't understand the hype.

[@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!

[@Coach_Sortonis]

You can ask for the tenders extra crispy too

[@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…

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.

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@henryhudson4965]

In My area of Sacramento, CA they put a Cane right across the street from Popeyes and that's not working. You never see anyone at raising Cane's 3:15

[@Mike_C-79]

Popeyes is great. Best prices and best chicken.

[@dotdot_8003]

The toast is the only thing I want. Everything else they need to go back to the drawing board . They should do steak fry’s with some steak seasoning on top

[@saagarkhan9450]

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.

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.

[@JamesTorti]

Drumstik is my go-to for chicken. Just to let you know. Steak is beef too. It's supposed to be a better cut than ground beef. As you noticed, sometimes it's not, or how its prepared, or cooked. I love a good steak from time to time, but I love a good cheeseburger all of the time.

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.

[@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.

Try the Louisiana hot sauce they offer with Cole slaw, and add it to the cane sauce, if you want to pick up the spice

[@IV.MusikProductionz]

Order "crispy" fries, toast - B.O.B. (butter on both sides) & add a packet of Louisiana Hot Sauce to the Cane's Sauce. Not necessarily a "knock your socks off" situation, but it will give you a somewhat better experience.

[@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.

[@phr3dmcc0y]

I like mcdoubles w no ketchup, add mac sauce. its a more manageable bite with less bread and 0 crunchy water. I also like to get a wendys frosty and drag my fries through it like a frozen creamy fry dipping sauce.

[@philiphartman8994]

For Raising canes. Get extra bread with the combo and make your own sandwiches. Bread, sauce, fries, chicken top it with the slaw and another slice of bread.

[@longplaylegends]

Over here in Florida, this is one of my favorite new places that I found based on recommendation from a friend. I agree with some of the criticisms in that the chicken is somewhat bland without the sauce, but it's always delicious and moist with great texture. But it could vary by location and turnover of course. Some might prefer the honey mustard sauce, it's awesome. The bread is great too. I feel the fries are one of the weakest links, but I'm more like a 4/5 for me, maybe even 4.5/5.

[@user-vg2eg7oo5n]

A McDonald's hack that's something special is the Filet'O Fish Pancake Special. Order pancakes and replace the sausage with a Filet O'Fish patty, then added extra tar tar sauce. And, then pour pancake syrup over the whole deal.

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
