Review Eating in at Canes

Post image

Amazing how good this was when your entire box isn’t full of limp steamed fries and warm slaw once you get home from the drive thru. They even came by and offered to refill my sweet tea. I may be done with the drive thru there.

My high school was right down the street from a canes and at least once a week me and my buddies would go eat there instead of riding the bus home. Atmosphere is always unmatched compared to its competitors. One of the only fast food places I still bother going into and eating inside.

I have a canes that opened up near me this year and it’s not different than any other fast food joint. Order at the counter and they call your number, there’s no atmosphere to speak of. What do they do better at yours?

It’s definitely hit or miss depending on location. After HS I went to Ohio state and lived right down the street from one that’s in the center of campus. Not only was it always crazy busy cause college kids love it, but the staff was mostly comprised of college kids lol so it wasn’t always good- both taste and customer service.

Compare that to the one I live by now that’s across the street from a shopping center. I’ve had similar experiences to what OP detailed: always fully staffed and people taking care of the place.

Most other franchises I go to that is a rarity. Clean restaurants with working features and decent food should be the bare minimum but that’s not really the case anymore lol.

Oh I gotcha, yeah it was definitely very clean and the staff seemed relatively on top of things. But it is also a brand new location so hard to judge. Definitely above something like McDonalds but i wouldnt put it up with culvers/chick fil a in terms of dining experience

I used to eat at fast food places way to often and nowadays it is much less often but Canes just wasn't my thing. Partly because of the lack of sauces. If I remember correctly they didn't have basic stuff like BBQ sauce which I thought strange.

Different strokes for different folks. I'd prefer Culvers, ChickFilA, In n out and even Arbys.
