Nashville’s newest Raising Cane’s is located on the corner of Broadway and Third Ave. N. at 212 Broadway in the historic Baxter Building. Customers will be served on the first and second floors, where they’ll see impressive designs and memorabilia throughout the restaurant.
Graves added special touches to the Nashville location, including 1.2 million rhinestones, a Johnny and June Cash tribute, a Loretta Lynn prized guitar, a 5-foot-6 tall statue of Cane III, over 250 disco balls, hanging art by Michael Murphy, and exclusive Raising Cane’s merchandise.

I was lucky enough to be a part of the grand opening celebrations this week and I got to see firsthand the hard work and dedication that was put into every aspect of this location. The best part was that everyone looked so happy, but then again, who isn’t happy when they’re being served chicken fingers?
“This is a flagship for us for Nashville, for Tennessee, and the country. I love Nashville. I actually have a place here right down the road. I can walk here. To me, Broadway, when I’m always on this street it makes me think of people going for their dreams,” Graves said.
He continued, “It’s about going for that dream and that’s what this road signifies for us. And doing a flagship, well, what that means for us, some of these places are important to our country. Everybody comes in, tourists from the United States, tourists around the world, coming in here. For us, it’s an opportunity for me and my team, our crew, show everyone around the world what Cane’s is all about.”
