Man, Y'all Baws were right about Raising Cane's Chicken
Posted on 5/9/24 at 11:41 pm

Where i live... we just had a Raising Cane's open up about 4 months ago.
On this same road, there is also a Zaxby's, Gutherie's, Popeyes, Chick Fil-A, KFC and another local Hot Chicken type place. All within 1/4 - 1/2 mile from each other.
I can understand Cane's being packed out at the beginning when they first opened, but we are now going on 4 months and every single night, the cars are lined up around the building and down the street. It's insane.
A few of those other chicken places in that area are going to be closing soon. I just can't see how they can compete.
A lot on here will say Popeyes, but right across the street is a brand new Popeyes and it's the best Popey's I have ever had. It's very clean and new.
I actually ventured in to Cane's (First time) last night after a ball game - Packed, but we decided to wait. Service was on the same league as Chick Fil-A. Sauce is pretty damn good. Fries are pretty good but the chicken just seemed really fresh. I don't know how to explain it but the whole experience just seemed a lot cleaner to me. Sure, it's a new shiny building but food-wise, it was on point.
If I had to pick between all of those chicken places.
1 - Popeye's - I just love the Mardi Gras Muster and Dirty Rice and the biscuit - The Popeye's by my house - I know there are shitty ones everywhere. Depends which city, etc
2 - Raising Canes - As mentioned above
3/4 - The Local Hot Chicken Place / Gutherie's (TIE)
5 - Chick Fil-A
6 - Zaxby's
7 - KFC

Idk where I read it but someone said “In heaven, all of the Popeyes are staffed by Chic-fil-a employees,” and that would make it all worthwhile.

None of them can touch the fried chicken at the Piggly Wiggly Deli in Newsite, Alabama.

What Popeye's calls a biscuit now is an affront to a real Southern biscuit. It has the proportions of a still-frozen Pillsbury biscuit and the Sahara is downright muggy relatively.

Popeyes biscuits might be the worst thing on the menu.

100% fatal without a beverage

Popeye's also gives you a big jalapeno on the side - it's great
The biscuit I had a few weeks ago was great!

FYI you’ve had a canes the entire time if you have a Guthries since that’s where he got the idea from.
Posted on 5/9/24 at 11:52 pm to FLTech
Foosackly’s > Cane’s
Posted on 5/9/24 at 11:52 pm to FLTech
Foosacklys is better

Church’s biscuits and rice dressing beats them all. Spicy chicken just as good as Popeye’s.

welp, I know the 2 who downvoted. 
I've had Foosacklys in Mobile, AL - I honestly don't remember if they were good or not. It was many years ago.
Having said that, it's a stupid fricking name.
I have never had Church's in my entire life. There's one right by my house so I'm going to check it out next time I am in the mood for chicken!

Everything at Church’s is better than Popeyes.
Unfortunately, they only put them in the hood.

I don't live in the hood and there is one down the street

Have y'all had Waldo's Chicken & Beer? Best chicken tenders I've ever had.
Posted on 5/10/24 at 12:12 am to FLTech
They opened one on 92, just off I-575, outside ATL. They tell me it's always packed.
Posted on 5/10/24 at 12:16 am to FLTech
Honestly their chicken sucks. I end up eating it last out of the bread & fries. The chicken tenders always have that tendon in it which ruins it.
give me the bread buttered on both sides with double sauce and that's about all they have worth a shite

This invalidates pretty much everything you said. Their dirty rice is not fit for a dog to eat.

you don’t get popeyes.
part of the charm is the shitty service.
you’re lucky to even be there to get such delicious chicken in the first place.
