Manteca’s fast food row — the stretch of East Yosemite Avenue from Vasconcellos Avenue to Spreckels Avenue — is getting its 11th drive-thru restaurant.
Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers ‘ first Northern California location that will be built where Manteca’s original McDonald’s once stood before it was demolished in 2014 is before the city Planning Commission on Tuesday.
The proposed 3,247-square-foot building with a drive-thru lane and a covered 1,194-square-foot outdoor dining patio — the largest covered outdoor dining yet in Manteca — is being proposed for 1311 East Yosemite Ave.
Raising Cane’s will be sandwiched between The Habit Burger and the bowling alley. It will use two existing driveways. A traffic study determined it will not severely impact traffic on East Yosemite Avenue.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana based fast food place has more than 500 locations in the United States and the Middle East.
When Raising Cane’s opens it would solidify East Yosemite Avenue — and adjoining properties such as Spreckels Marketplace — from Powers Avenue to Vasconcellos with the highest concentration of dining options in Manteca with 35 locations.
Raising Cane’s has a limited menu with five box combos including a kids’ combo. The box combo dubbed as “our favorite” includes four chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, one Cane’s sauce, Texas toast, coleslaw, and a 22 ounce drink.
There are five extras on the menu — a chicken finger, Cane’s sauce, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw. You can also order chicken fingers in bulk with 25, 50, 75 or 100 fingers.
Besides soda they have freshly brewed sweet tea, unsweet tea, and freshly squeezed lemonade. You can also buy the sweet tea, unsweet tea, and lemonade by the jug.
