The Treasure Valley used to have a chicken problem. Our area didn't have a lot of chicken restaurants. Then, one day, Chick-fil-A opened stores in Boise and Meridian. Other national chains followed, some from Nashville and others from other famous chicken destinations. 

Slim Chickens opened in Meridian to record crowds. You can take a look at the Meridian location here.

One of America's most tasteful and famous chicken outlets is Raising Canes. The closest Raising Canes is located five hours from Boise in Utah. The chain offers chicken platters, sandwiches and French fries. Some fans want Raising Canes to build their next super store in Boise.

We recently had a chance to enjoy a meal at Raising Canes. The service was great and the chicken was outstanding. Here's a look at what you can expect if Raising Canes moves to Boise or you'd like to make a run to Utah for a chicken fix.

The Vibe

If you're a fan of the eighties, you'll love the music played at Raising Canes. Whether you remember the hits or you're a fan of the classic songs, eighties music is played heavily at Raising Canes.

The Inside

The interior is decorated with lots of red and chicken signs. Raising Canes has no servers, like Slim Chickens, you go to the counter to get your food. Unlike Slim Chickens, you have to wait at the counter to get your food. Slims delivers your food to your table.

The Verdict

Is Raising Canes worth the five-hour drive? Although we liked the food, we'd recommend Raising Canes if you're in Utah. The Treasure Valley would surely welcome another Chicken restaurant. Hopefully, we can count on Rasing Canes to join several national chains to build in the Boise area.
