  • Missing Texas BBQ so I stopped by Wally's gas station to try their brisket sandwich. Later I tried both Cane's and Chick-fil-a to see the comparison. Ending off this trip, I tried a local dumpling shop at STL Soup Dumplings.
    Places I went to:
    ✧ Wally's
    1 Holiday Road, Pontiac, IL 61764
    ✧ Soup Dumplings STL
    8110 Olive Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63130
    ✧ The Foundry Bakery
    11424 Dorsett Rd, Maryland Heights, MO 63043

    Fun fact:
    It’s not on the menu but they will sell you a large 32oz drink cup full of sauce for you to take home for around $5, so you can put it on whatever you want whenever you want.

    I like Chick-fil-a's chicken tenders, but there is nothing out there that can beat Cane's. Albuquerque, NM is waiting for Cane's to open up in 2022. I got hooked on them in Colorado and haven't had any since 2014. There is a Blake's Lotta Burger here in town that makes good chicken tenders, but it is a hit or miss, so I gave up on them.

As crew members, we're not allowed to give away what's in the sauce because very many of us don't make it (only the managers) and as a crew member, I've only helped make it at least 3 times in my almost 2 years of working there.

    Love the peach shake from Chick Fil A. I try to get that at least once each year when I see they are on the menu again. But then, I'm from Georgia, and love pretty much anything made with peaches. Never tried Raising Canes, unfortunately there aren't any in my area. I think we used to have one according to a websearch, but it shows permanently closed. We have Zaxby's instead, which serves only chicken tenders and wings with sides.

  • @defaultui9625

    Raising Cane's freshness and quality is definitely top notch, but without the sauce, the chicken has almost no flavor at all. Just an extremely subtle salt and pepper flavor from the breading. A good chicken tender should be able to stand on it's own, and these fall short by a mile in flavor.

    • @whysnana
      @whysnana 2 года назад +62

      Raising Cane's has told the purpose of their tenders being "under seasoned" is they WANT you to dip it in the sauce. It's the whole point of their franchise. The sauce. If they mega season their tenders, and then you dip it in the sauce. It's going to severely overpower in flavors. I've had tenders from other places that taste great on their own, but you just GOTTA dip tenders. Otherwise, what are you doing? But the ones I've had that are mega seasoned, when I dip it in a sauce it's just too much seasoning. The flavors aren't balanced well. Raising Cane's honestly is on point with their flavor. They found a balance, and it works amazingly. Because again, if you're eating tenders, and not dipping them. What are you doing? lol

    Zaxby's imo would probably be a better competition against Raising Canes. Their known for there chicken tenders as well and thier signature sauce taste pretty similar to canes. On top of that zaxbys tenders can be covered in a variety of sauces. Chickfila is mostly known for thier chicken sandwiches which Zaxby's also has some pretty decent ones too (and some wings). It's a shame thre isn't a zaxbys in the west or that a lot of people haven't heard of them, honestlya good meal.
