I hope the ONE sauce is better than that mediocre stuff at Cane's.

Are they going to spit in the sauce at these too?

I bet the Golden Chick in the gas station across the street has more pleasant service. The attitude in that joint is what put me on team Canes. Everything is basically the same apart from that.

Unfortunately that Golden Chick is closed. Used to eat there all the time when I was doing a rotation at a local clinic over there. Love me some Golden Chick. Want to try Lane's as well, but agree with you- they were pretty rude back when I was down in CS.

I went yesterday and it was great.

Staff was friendly and it was busy at 3:00.

Food was spot on. I've always preferred it to Canes so it's a Welcome new alternative.

Just left, it was as good as I can remember. Granted, haven't had Laynes since '06.

Is it honestly better than Cane's? I haven't been to Layne's in over a decade, but I remember them being nearly identical.

Its been a really long time since I'd been either, and have had Canes quite a few times since then, but having Laynes again I can tell you there's a difference. It's not huge, but the chicken is better and the sauce is a bit different.

That was my experience anyway

Here currently, busy, fast, friendly, better toast than Canes.

It had been 10 years since I have had Laynes and it is pretty good! Can't eat like this on the regular but good every once in a while.

Tried out the one in Allen and can confirm it's the real deal!

To each his own opinion, but I believe the chicken is better (juicer and hand cut) and sauce is a bit more robust (if that makes any sense). My wife loves Canes since it's the only thing we've had up here until now. I think it's good food and won't turn it down, but after trying Layne's again the difference it noticeable. I only wish it was closer to me in Dallas.

NOTE: This was also a former Pollo Tropical. They have added a ranch and a honey mustard sauce to the menu if you want. I tried both (to be thorough of course ) and both were quite good. Still...there's nothing like the original sauce.

Way too fancy looking compared to CS location.
Ha...because nothing says good food quality to people unaware of the brand like 1980's Subway Sandwich benches, and crap on the wall. I mean I love the nostalgia like anyone else, but not sure that will scale outside of the cult college crowd that doesn't care what anything looks like.

Wouldn't have been Layne's if the drive thru was quick. Looking forward to hitting this up sometime soon.
