The Raising Cane's menu is known for its ONE LOVE® - serving premium chicken tenderloins hand-cooked to order to ensure a great-tasting meal served hot and fresh every time. Accompaniments include fresh crinkle-cut fries, grilled Texas toast, and the signature Cane's sauce. 

At the heart of Raising Cane's success lies their closely guarded secret—the legendary Cane's Sauce. A culinary masterpiece, this sauce elevates the juicy perfection of Raising Cane's chicken fingers to new heights, creating an unforgettable dining experience. 

The popular Louisiana-based restaurant chain, founded by Todd Graves in Baton Rouge, USA, in 1996, now operates over 800 locations across the United States and currently 50 in the Middle East. With ambitious expansion plans set for 2025, Raising Cane’s continues to grow its footprint in the region. 

The new restaurant is open for diners from 10:00am to 4:00am.
