What Time Does Raising Cane’s Open and Close? (2026 Hours)

Most Raising Cane’s restaurants open at about 9:00 or 10:00 a.m., and the drive-thru at late night stores stays open until about 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. The dining room usually closes earlier, often around 11:00 p.m. Hours are set by restaurant, so check your own location before you go.

This guide covers what time Raising Cane’s opens and closes, drive-thru and Sunday hours, and holiday hours for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. For food and prices, see our Raising Cane’s menu with prices.

What Time Does Raising Cane’s Open?

Raising Cane’s usually opens between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. Two official restaurant pages show the range: a Houston store lists a 10:00 a.m. opening, and the original-area Baton Rouge store lists 9:00 a.m. Cane’s does not serve breakfast, so the full chicken finger menu is ready from the moment the doors open.

What Time Does Raising Cane’s Close?

Raising Cane’s closing time depends on the restaurant, and many stores serve the drive-thru late into the night. The same official pages show a Houston store open until 2:00 a.m. Sunday to Thursday and 3:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The Baton Rouge store lists 3:00 a.m. every night. Dine-in hours at both stores end earlier, at 11:00 p.m.

Not every store keeps these late hours. Stores in smaller towns, malls, airports and campuses may close sooner, so treat the table below as examples, not a national schedule.

Raising Cane’s Hours: Drive-Thru and Sunday

Raising Cane’s is open on Sundays, and the two stores above list the same Sunday hours as weekdays. The drive-thru follows the same open and close times as the store at these locations, while the dining room closes earlier. Late night is listed as a feature on both store pages. Always check the exact times for your own address, because a few stores use shorter hours.

Is Raising Cane’s Open on Thanksgiving?

Raising Cane’s is widely reported to close on Thanksgiving Day, but we could not find a 2026 announcement from the company. Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Menu and holiday guides online say all locations are closed that day and reopen on Friday. Treat that as a general pattern, not a promise, and check your store in the Cane’s app or restaurant locator. Our list of restaurants open on Thanksgiving has chains that you can count on.

Is Raising Cane’s Open on Christmas?

Raising Cane’s was reported closed on Christmas Day last year, and open on Christmas Eve with limited hours. This is last year’s information, not a 2026 announcement. This year Christmas Eve is Thursday, December 24 and Christmas Day is Friday, December 25. See our guide to restaurants open on Christmas for chains that usually serve that day.

Is Raising Cane’s Open on New Year’s Day?

Last year a news report listed Raising Cane’s as closed on January 1, with an early close of about 3:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Eve is Thursday, December 31, 2026 and New Year’s Day is Friday, January 1, 2027. Hours for this year have not been announced, so check the app a few days ahead.

What to Order Before You Go

The classic order is the Box Combo with four chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, Cane’s Sauce and a drink. For a bigger meal, read what is in the Caniac Combo, which adds two more fingers, an extra sauce and a large drink. Looking at other chicken options? Compare the Chick-fil-A menu, Zaxby’s menu, Popeyes menu and Bojangles menu.
