Raising Canes is amazing but I don't see how anyone could consider that similar to Chick-fil-A. Canes doesn't offer even half the variety.

An absolutely disgusting slight to people who want to support a homophobic restaurant chain. I thought this was America!

I made a conscious effort to stop going there after this last wave of news about their actions. I just wish I had more good fast food chicken sandwiches near me. Popeyes and KFC are pretty shit. Wendy's has an okay chicken sandwich. Ruby Tuesday's is pretty good but mine has like a 30 minute wait if you order for pickup.
I dont even have a Popeyes

yet I have 3 Chick-fil-a's near me

All you guys need is Bojangles and Pop Eyes for your chicken needs. I don't even know what this Something Cane place is.

Those look like the frozen crinkle fries you can buy anywhere that taste like shit
Crinkle cuts can be done well (see: Shake Shack).

As long as you're not talking about the Bojangles of the DC area, which might as well be food poisoning on a plastic tray. They're pretty good as long as you're at around the Virginia/NC border or points south.

Exactly. Rasing Canes, Zaxbys, Popeyes, all that shit isn't the same. There's a reason Chick-fil-A is popular. It's simple, arguably cheaper, better quality and has massive variety. Plus the staff is amazing.

No other chicken QSR has been able to replicate the batter CFA uses. All I know is that they cook the chicken in peanut oil and some pickle juice

Hopefully a sign of more things to come. It is simultaneously bizarre and disheartening to me to see how many people I know that have adopted this fast food chain as a goddam lifestyle brand due precisely to the bigoted way they choose to spend their money. The fact that the only way these individuals can feel like martyrs in American society is to blindly back a soulless fast-food corporation would be hilarious if it wasn't so infuriating.

As someone who lives in SA, I love that they're putting smaller local businesses in place like The Luxury, Boss Bagels; etc

Much better than another CFA. The right wingers in town are going crazy over this and Brockhouse is trying to use it to cover up his recent two spousal abuse allegations in his mayoral campaign

Every time I see the name "Raising Canes" I think of that song that the Numa Numa video is set to because it has a lyric that sounds so similar to "raising canes".

Can someone with an objective viewpoint who can actually admit Chick-Fil-A's food isn't nasty give me a comparison to Raising Cane's? They built one here recently, and I walked in and walked right back ut because the strips looked super dry and dark. The fries looked like some ore-ida nonsense too.

Are they really better or comparable to CFA?

Popeyes is an overrated, overpriced garbage that is full of grease.

I'm sure there's better out in the world but in new england Popeyes is above and beyond better than the alternatives. Popeyes at least has flavor and isn't slimy like KFC.

Anyway, as for the real discussion at hand, glad to see the trend continue. Would love nothing more than see Chick-Fil-A close.

I never said it's nasty...just not something I go crazy about where I want to visit all the time. Why is that place packed all the time? I don't get it.

I can appreciate you guys trying to promote alternatives to CFA but every time I've tried Raising Cane's it was the blandest chicken I had ever tasted. I am utterly baffled that people like it at all much less with the fervor presented in threads like these.

People will shill for mediocre chicken over supporting homophobia is all. Raising Cane's is a piss-poor representation of the kind of food Louisiana can pump out.

Buffalo native here! Really happy to see this and I hope it becomes a trend. It's up to us to fight back.

Raising Cane's isn't remotely as good as CFA, but it's also not a homophobic trash organization so it'll do in a pinch. Ideally CFA would stop inserting its owners' pathetic, bigoted religious garbage into its official policies and donations, but I figure this is just going to cause management to triple down on this shit.

Your money is not going to a homophobic establishment.

I think I said as much? That's literally the only reason it's brought up in these CFA threads.

If my choice is no chicken or Raising Cane's I'll take no chicken. But if bland chicken makes them "GOAT" then ... ok, I got nothing for any of you.

I wonder where all those "your boycotts won't do anything so I'll keep eating there" folks are now? Probably still pretending to be pro-LGBT while promoting that homophobic restaurant.
"That's it! I'm boycotting air travel until they bring mah chicken back! I'll take trains everywhere now!"

I've said something similar before. The chicken in Chick-fil-A sandwiches and tenders is technically fried but I've never considered any of the fried chicken places and it to be competitors. I've never heard anyone where I'm at say they are in the mood for fried chicken and then have CFA be suggested in response; it's always Popeye's, KFC, Zaxby's, Bojangles's, or some local non-chain place that gets recommended. Chick-fil-A is kind of its own separate category to anyone I know that still eats there.

I mean yeah it's not any good lol haven't ate in one in years. But at least it's not homophobic. I would eat there just to spite CFA
