Raising Cane's

[jbkrems]

Steak N Shake closed ??? WOW !

[RadicalModerate]

So, how do Cain's Chicken Fingers compare to, say,
Popeye's Authentic Louisana Style Chicken?
Or KFC's Grilled?
Or Walmart's Rotiscerre?
Or Home-Cooked Pan-Seared Spatchcocked/Butterflied Mediterranean Polish/Italianesque?
Favorably I would bet.

unless, of course, it's from an overpriced, non-permitted, Food Truck not owned by the most recent scofflaw in the restaurant business on the rebound . . . so has Freddie's Frozen Custard considered a "WaffleChickenBurger" to go with their shoestring fries? Maybe "Quiche-On-A-Stick"?

sorry . . . somehow i just got caught up in the "Manliest" as compared to "Fattest" and "Least Exercising" reputation of OKC

as a placebo allow me to offer this . . .



again, i apologize, please find it in your heart to forgive.

They're going in Edmond as we speak, they bought out the Steak N Shake on 2nd and converting it to Raising Canes.

I wondered what was going on there. I drove by a couple of weeks ago and noticed Steak and Shake was gone, then drove by again yesterday and could tell they were already doing something with the building.

Saw one in Moore the other day...in a bunch of new development where the Target, Starbucks and a slew of other places are at

[BradR]

I thought they were pretty good, kind of chicken express-ish without the good corn nuggets (unless I missed them) but ok for fast food.

[BAreteH]

I'm craving corn nuggets now. I have never understood the hype behind Cane's. Several of my friends really like the chicken but it's nothing special in my opinion. To each his or her own though.

I was in Quail Springs Mall today and noticed Raising Canes in opening a location inside the mall. It's were Chick-fil-a used to be. I didn't even realize Chick-fil-a was gone. I don't go to that mall often, but I was in there last week and walked by the food court and didn't even notice this. Had to go back today, and saw the banner. It looks like they are going in the space where Chick-fil-a as as well as the space next to it.

Raising Cane's is going next door, but Chick-Fil-A is NOT closed

From their Facebook page...

The cows are hard at work remodeling the store. If all goes well, we will reopen on Thursday. Thank you for your patience.

I'd take chikfila any day over raisin canes

[Larry OKC]

Even if Chick-fil-A was gone from inside the mall, didn't they open a stand alone location in front of the Target Super Center?

Yep, they did.

[Debzkidz]

Well, both the Chick Fil A and the spot next door area boarded up with one of those big mall wall things they use when a store is closed or being built and the Raising Canes banner is hanging across part of it. Nothing saying anything about Chick Fil A being remodeled, so it appears to be gone. No way anyone would know by looking at it that they were just remodeling.

They also put those things up when a store is being remodeled, the store's own facebook page wouldn't say it's being remodeled if it wasn't...

Also, a couple weeks ago Raising Cane's had a rep there in front of the spot next to Chick-Fil-A (Where it is going) and he said how interesting it was going to be having two chicken places next to each other...

Chick-Fil-A is NOT gone....

I'm not trying to say that you are wrong. Just trying to explain why I was wrong. All I was trying to say was that it is easy for people to mistake it for being closed, because of the way it's set up. Just that it APPEARS to be closed. No signs saying otherwise, so it's easy for people to come to the incorrect conclusion that the store is closed. That's all.

[Larry OKC]

Agree, if they are going to post it on their facebook page, they should put some effort at the physical location as well to let folks know...not everyone uses those social media outlets yet everyone that might be wanting to eat there while they are there need to know

[jn1780]

Their probably not worried about it since they have a external location now on Penn and they will be closed for only 2 weeks.

[Larry OKC]

Maybe so, but it is stupid not to let folks know what is going on...

The funny thing about this, we were at Quail a few weeks ago before Chiiick-Fil-A started the remodel. A couple of reps for Raising Cane's were out giving job applications. They were trying to hide the drinks from Chick-Fil-A they both had behind their podium. It was pretty funny!

It's a MALL location. It's not like people intentionally drive to the mall to eat there, especially when there is a stand alone across the street. Pretty sure they do just fine without the notification. They rely on random mall foot traffic, not destination eaters.

I agree... Chick-fil-A is a lot better! We tried Raising Canes and not as good. :-(

[RadicalModerate]

I've eaten at Raising Caine's twice and really liked it both times. (I got the three strips with fries). Their dipping sauce is especially good. Still, I think $7.00 is just a bit "spendy" for what you get. I don't think I've ever had Chick-fil-A's comparable strips (or dipping sauce) but I'll bet they are good too. What do you have to pay for that at C-f-A? This, to me, would be a major factor in deciding which place is "better" overall.

I'm the exact opposite, I'm not a big fan of Chik-fil-a. It's better than the average fast food place, but it's never anything I set out to buy if there are any other options.

Raising Canes is great to me though, I love their sauce and their chicken is really good.

[HangryHippo]

I love both. When I want a chicken sandwich, I go to Chick Fil A. When I want chicken strips, I go to Raising Cane's. And their sauce... My god it's good.

[RadicalModerate]

On a recipe/cooking board I used to frequent, I once extolled the virtues of Arby's Horsey Sauce.
The lady (a virtual friend) who ran the board commented back something along the lines of:
"So . . . A 'roast beef' sandwich as a 'carrier'or 'platform' for the sauce. Interesting concept."

I think Raising Cain's has elevated the concept to include what used to be called "chicken fingers."

(c/o Mitch Hedberg: "I don't want chicken fingers . . . I want chicken thumbs. They have to be accumulating somewhere . . .")

And their sauce... My god it's good.

The sauce is heavenly... Mmmmm.

Also, Raising Canes > Chik-Fil-A
