The opening date for the first Raising Cane’s restaurant in Birmingham is set.
The chicken joint with a cult-like following is gearing up for a March 10 opening, according to the Shelby County Reporter.
Since Summer 2025, local residents along Highway 280 have been anxiously watching the construction of Raising Cane’s.
The new eatery is built on the footprint of the former Lloyd’s Restaurant.
About Raising Cane’s
Founded in 1996 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this is the chain’s third location in Alabama. The other two are in Tuscaloosa and Mobile.
If you haven’t been to a Raising Cane’s, the menu is like many other fried chicken restaurants’:
- Chicken fingers
- Crinkle-cut fries
- Slaw
- Texas toast
- Cane’s chicken sandwich
- Cane’s sauce
Presently there are more than 750 locations nationwide.
The Birmingham site is at 5301 U.S. 280 near Walmart and Hamburger Heaven. Also opening soon right next to the upcoming Raising Cane’s is a new location of 7 Brew Coffee, which is currently under construction.
