I enjoyed the tour of the new Raising Canes in Laurelton. It was the first time I visited the restaurant. The staff was so nice and let us sample the food as reporters. The food had SOOOOOOO much flavor and I really liked the toast and the chicken with the Cane’s Sauce. We should encourage students to read more and learn to code and receiving a gift certificate for accomplishing this would be great!

I enjoyed that the new Raising Canes in Laurelton. The restaurant is very nice . It is also within walking distance from my school. The food at Raising Canes was good and my favorite part was the toast. We should encourage students to read more and the Raising Canes certificate is a great opportunity.
Raising Cane’s is excited to be in Laurelton and has also hired many residents from the area. The company looks forward to cultivating partnerships and becoming a wonderful community staple in Laurelton.
