Canes sauce is trash,they need more options and ACTUAL SEASONING on the chicken. amirite?

As someone who loves Canes and is from Baton Rouge, down the street from their 2nd ever location. They don't season the chicken enough. But I will fight over Canes slander. Meet me at Canes on 3rd St.

I love that someone is touting living near the second ever location - which was the second location? Everyone in BR just talks about the first one. Also it's okay chicken at best, under seasoned is fair. I disagree they need more options. I think they could halve the menu even still.

by Dorasimonis 1 week ago

I don't know if it was really the second one but it opened on Burbank and Staring in the 90s. You wouldn't say that if they had spicy/mild options and a sandwich that wasn't two tenders on a bun.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I like the two tenders on a bun. And I hate when they try to make the buns the Texas toast instead, it's not good Texas toast just less offensive than the other sides. A true Baton Rouge unpopular opinion.

by Dorasimonis 1 week ago

They don't try that unless you ask for it... And it's not Texas toast at all, your thinking about Podnuhs

by Connellydangelo 1 week ago

Except their chicken doesn't hold up on its own at all. It's like the world bland if it was actually chicken instead. It's incredibly plain, and if you can only get some flavor with your chicken by dipping it in large amounts of sauce, it is defo not good chicken

I mean, the seasoning is either in the sauce or in the breading, why does it matter which it is?

Exactly this. Nobody would complain if they just lathered up the tenders in sauce initially, but for some reason giving you the option to dip it at your own rate makes the chicken bland.

Tried Canes for the first time a last week. The chicken is under seasoned but still quite good. The toast is pretty good. The fries are totally mid. The canes sauce is ok, the coleslaw is decent but I could use a bigger side of it. The whole combo is overpriced. Don't plan on going back unless I'm absolutely craving fried chicken or I'm on a road trip or something and Canes is the least bad option off the highway.

by colleenklocko 1 week ago

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I refused to try it for a long time because they only had that cane's sauce which I wasn't interested in. No hot sauces except prepackaged Louisiana hot sauce. I liked Zaxby's and Guthrie's growing up, so Cane's seemed stupid to me. I relented and tried it the other day… and yeah it really rubs me the wrong way how underseasoned the chicken is. It's like they intentionally tried to make it bland. Which is a real shame cause the toast and fries are generally ok. But yeah it's overhyped, very middling.

I don't even feel like they looked at the spices before they chucked em into the sauce. It all just feels like leftover ingredients and they were like "HERE. SAUCE. NO WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHERS, WE THREW EVERYTHING WE HAD INTO THIS ONE SAUCE. DIP. EAT."

I understand your opinion, and I respect it, but it's like half the cost of KFC tenders, and you get actual juicy chicken instead of a string wrapped in breading and seasoning. Is it the best chicken in the world? No, but I think it's the best per dollar for fast food chicken.

One opened across the street from me a year ago and it created the biggest traffic nightmare I've ever witnessed. According to a quick Google search, there are over 600 restaurants in my city. And people still waited for over three goddamn hours for this chicken. The hype over this chicken has been beyond insane. I've still yet to have it, and have no desire to. Burgers are fine, but I've never had good fast food chicken.

Cane's is so gross. Not only does it have zero seasoning but the chicken always tastes just barely this side of raw to me.
