Raising Cane’s opens today in Morgan Hill

Night owls who live in southern Santa Clara County just received a fast-food gift.

Raising Cane’s has opened its newest Bay Area restaurant in Morgan Hill, and this location will be frying up fresh chicken strips (“fingers” in Cane’s parlance) until after midnight every day — 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 a.m. the other nights of the week. Breakfast and early lunch will start at 9 a.m. daily.

On Veterans Day and every other day of the year, a 10% Hero Discount is offered to all active military, veterans, fire, police and EMTs, as well as their families. The discount is valid on dine-in and drive-thru orders.

Founded in Baton Rouge, the Raising Cane’s chain is known for maintaining a strict menu focus — just chicken fingers with one signature dipping sauce, crinkle-cut fries, cole slaw and Texas toast. Customers may purchase a single chicken finger, a few as a combo, loaded on a sandwich or in large party packs.

The secret-recipe sauce has been described variously as a blend of mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and Creole seasoning and as a Thousand Island-type dressing with a black-pepper kick.

The beverage menu, also concise, includes sweet tea and “unsweet” tea, both freshly brewed throughout the day; lemonade that’s freshly squeezed daily; and fountain soft drinks.

Raising Cane’s has hundreds of locations worldwide. In 2022, competitive eating champion Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, formerly of San Jose, set a Cane’s record by wolfing down 44 chicken fingers in five minutes.
