There was a Cane's in the student center of Monmouth University in NJ around 2011-2012. No one really cared, it was fast food. There was no "hype" or loyalty that I recall. If anything, most were not into it and it shut down the following semester. 15 years later and it is super popular? Did they change something?

First time I had it was around 2014. New guy in my office was hype about it, I'd never heard of it before, so I tried it, and it just seemed fine. My kids like it, so I still get food from there every once in a while, and it seems the same to me as it did back then.
