About 6 months ago, Raisin Cane's opened a restaurant in Mesquite. Everyone has been raising cane about it ever since. For probably 4 to 5 of those 6 months it was drive-thru only and they had so many in the drive-thru that they were out in the road to. So somebody likes this place. We already have several chicken shacks in our rotation as it is, so it is not like we needed another one. Buy you know, when everybody goes there, you gotta try it.
So we spent most of the day messin and gummin around with CBoss, Lil' Darlin, and The mayor, you know giving em a hard time. After we shipped them off back to their parents, we decided the day had come to giver Cane's a whirl.
This place is about the simplest operation I have eaten in. They have chicken fingers, fries, toast, cole slaw and a sauce. Nothing else. At this simple you would think they are awesome at every turn. According to my sources it is awesome. Maybe the quality varies from location to location.
I ordered the 3 finger box. This means 3 chicken fingers (I didn't know chickens had fingers?), fries, toast, sauce and a drink.
The batter/crust on the chicken was very good. Unfortunately my chicken was not cooked fully, so it left something to be desired.
The fries were your basic normal fries.
After hearing all raves about the sauce, I could barely taste it. What is all the fuss about. I choose bbq, honey mustard, hot sauce, etc. Something with a little zing.
The toast was ok, but it would be better if it was toasted on both sides. The bread is very think, and it was only very lightly toasted. I am a burn it then start cooking kind of guy.
Overall, not a great experience. I guess I will stay a Popeye's kind of guy, and have you tried their biscuits, sure beats the toast.
Givem a 7.0.
