Around 4.50 - 5.50 for a combo, but you definately get your fill. As I mentioned earlier, it comes with 4 tenders, fries, cole slaw, garlic bread & drink. Plus you can get bigger orders. Its been over a year since I last ate there, but I still remember how good it was.

I think it will. Many people don't realize how many people move here from LSU, ULL, MSU, & the like. These people, just like myself crave Louisiana food. I see countless Louisiana license plates & various Louisiana university stickers on cars all along Westheimer. I don't think theres going to be any shortage of people wanting to eat a little home cooking. I've eaten here many times and can tell you that this place is better than home cooking. This place is nothing like Popeyes, Churches, Hartz, Timmy Chan's, Frenchy's, KFC, or any of the typical chicken shacks here in Houston. He has about 15 locations throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. I was quite surprised to find that he was building here in Houston, no less Westheimer. I don't think he would have built here unless he had done the research. I'm actually shocked at all the skeptism found here over this topic. Had I known that it would have received a negative review, I might not have posted it in the first place. I'm a little heated over dalparadise's comment about it being "shlock". I can tell by the way he posted he hasn't even ever ate there. How sad to so quickly pass judgement.

Try it now - I forgot to add "www". Here: Raising Cane's Sorry about that!

You're kidding right? Enough of "this kind of schlock"? Exactly what type of "schlock" is this? If you actually spent five minutes at the website, or have ever ate there you wouldn't be so quick to judge. I have to say that I'm really disappointed. For the record - this is a very imaginative concept. Unlike using capital to open another Tacobell or McDonald's as most people do, the man created something new - from scratch.

Raising Cane's Restaurant To Open In Houston: Houston Architecture Information Blogs By: Glen S. Mears Jr. March 4th, 2005 The new Raising Cane's restaurant is set to open soon on Houston's westside along Westheimer just east of Dairy Ashford. The restaurant is owned by Louisiana native Todd Graves, who after graduating LSU decided to open his own restaurant. After failing to impress all the local banks with his original idea to open a fast food restaurant specializing in fried chicken tenders, he decided to raise the capital himself. Graves moved to Los Angeles and worked 90 hours weeks as a boilermaker for a short time before meeting a gentleman by the name of "Wild Bill". Wild Bill told Graves to go to Alaska, where fishing brought in big money. Graves soon left for Alaska to work on a Sockeye Salmon commerical fishing boat. This is considered a very dangerous job due to the tretcherous weather up north along with the 20 hour work days and boats constantly ramming each other, jockeying for the best net-casting position . After working for a few years, he had saved up enough money to use as a down-payment to his dream. He moved back to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was able to use his captial to secure the loan. He then built the first "Rasing Cane's" in an old rundown building at the entrance to LSU. On August 26th, 1996, Todd Graves opened the first "Raising Cane's" restaurant. The restaurant features a menu almost entirely of chicken. The house speciality is fried chicken tenders, french fries, cole slaw, garlic bread, and Raising Cane's secret dipping sauce (just imagine a wicked mix of: mayo, katsup & Tony Chachere's seasoning - oooohhh weee! ) The name of the restaurant is sweet story itself. Graves was going to originally name the restaurant "Sockeye's" as a tribute to how he raised the money to start his business, but was quickly talked out of it by his friends who let him know how horrible the name was. He then came up with the name "Raising Cane's" after his beautiful golden lab (a must for any wetlands hunter in Louisiana I might add ) who he simply called "Cane". You can go to Raising Cane's Homepage to learn more information about the restaurant.
