They recently opened one four blocks from me. Had been wondering if it is worth a shot. Harolds has been way disappointing lately and I could use a "last minute" fried chicken fix.

Any menu recommendations???
I always think that the fresh chicken buckets from most grocery stores are pretty good. Mariano's, Heinen's, Sunset, Whole Foods, etc.

Rotisserie chickens are surprisingly good too and a lot healthier than fried chicken.

Lol, well there is not much to the menu. It's chicken strips or a chicken strip sandwich. There's like 4 menu items - 3 piece chicken finger box, 4 piece, 6 piece or chicken strip sandwich. They all come with texas toast, coleslaw, crinkle cut fries and canes sauce, which is fantastic. People always complain about the lack of menu options, but they know what they are good at. Lemonade is great, too. It's not sexy, but good for a quick, cheap lunch.

A guy cut in line at a Popeye’s in MD, a fight ensued, and he was stabbed to death in the parking lot.

So, in the end, he made the decision that the sandwich was worth dying for, but not worth waiting in line for.

The sandwich is ok. I like homestyle better than the spicy. The spicy part is just shitty heat. Its not flavorful. I hate when people make things just to be hot and there is no real flavor.

Pickles are da bomb doe. They must make them in a commissary.

Also, I dont eat fast food often but Popeyes isnt what it used to be. Thanks Burger King.

That is pretty damning testimony considering NOLA was the one place where Popeyes was actually good.

The attraction of Raising Cane’s makes no sense to me.

They sell only chicken strips, even if you have a sandwich. They’re hot and fresh but not particularly tasty.

And the kicker is, a restaurant where they make only one item, makes you wait for it no matter if you’re there at their busiest times!

“Stand there for ten minutes and we will call your name over the PA which will echo in our restaurant of steel and concrete.”

Yeah, great atmosphere!
