The location is in Canton, at Ford Road and Sheldon, between the Walgreen's and Firestone Complete Auto Care.

You know the hype is real when people camp overnight in the cold for your chicken fingers.

Brothers Henry and Joshua Cox camped outside the door starting at 7pm on Monday night. Patrice Austin joined shortly after.

The grand opening was well organized, and the staff wasn't phased by the crowds. Everyone got their food quickly.

My first impression of The Box Combo.

Raising Cane's has a simple, fast-casual menu. This isn't a Michelin star - this is on the go, and you get good value for what you pay. I'm into the One Cane's Sauce.

The coleslaw was a solid B+. I am Polish, and we like to pickle and ferment foods. 

The coleslaw could have been a little stronger, and I would have liked some more spices, but that is a personal preference. The cabbage had plenty of dressing while maintaining some crunch.

Although a chain, they included local flair. There was a decorative piece from Ford, a Plymouth-Canton marching band jacket, and even a Willow Run Airport pennant flag. That is a nice touch to make residents feel comfortable dining at the restaurant.

Raising Cane's is at 44218 Ford Road in Canton.
