Ask most people what sauces Raising Cane’s has and they’ll give you one answer: Cane’s Sauce. That famous peppery, tangy dip is the whole reason the chain keeps its menu tiny. But regulars know something the menu board doesn’t say — Raising Cane’s has a second sauce, made in-house, that you can order if you know to ask for it: honey mustard.
It’s not on the menu. It’s not in the app. And some first-timers don’t believe it exists until they try it. Here’s everything about the Raising Cane’s honey mustard secret menu item: how to order it, what it tastes like, what it costs, and what else you can get off-menu.
Does Raising Cane’s Have Honey Mustard?
Yes — but it’s an off-menu item. Raising Cane’s prepares a honey mustard dipping sauce in-house at most locations, and crew members will serve it to you if you ask. It comes in the same little black sauce cups as Cane’s Sauce.
This isn’t a fan rumor. A Raising Cane’s regional restaurant leader confirmed in a 2025 interview that honey mustard is the chain’s second in-house sauce, describing it as “sweet, not zippy.” It’s simply kept off the menu on purpose — the company wants Cane’s Sauce to stay the star of the show.
That said, availability isn’t guaranteed everywhere. Because it’s not an official menu item, some locations may not have it ready at a given moment. If one store doesn’t have it, another nearby might. It never hurts to ask.
How to Order Honey Mustard at Raising Cane’s
Ordering it is simple — there’s no code word or complicated hack. Just follow these steps:
- Ask when you place your order. Say “Can I get honey mustard with that?” — either instead of Cane’s Sauce or alongside it. Crew members know exactly what you mean.
- Order in person or at the drive-thru. The honey mustard isn’t listed in the app or on delivery menus, so this one only works when you’re talking to a real person.
- Request extra cups if you need them. Your combo comes with sauce included, but if you want a backup cup of honey mustard, just ask — extra sauce cups are available for a small charge.
- Have a backup plan. If your location doesn’t have honey mustard that day, ask for Louisiana hot sauce packets, ketchup, or mayo — all available on request.
What Does Raising Cane’s Honey Mustard Taste Like?
The chain’s own description is the best one: “sweet, not zippy.” It’s a smooth, golden honey mustard that’s milder than the sharp, tangy honey mustards you’ll find at some other chains. It doesn’t have the peppery kick of Cane’s Sauce — it’s a gentler, sweeter dip.
That mildness is exactly why people like it with Cane’s chicken fingers. The fingers themselves are lightly seasoned, so a sweet honey mustard complements them without overpowering the chicken. It also works well with the crinkle-cut fries and Texas toast.
Honey Mustard vs Cane’s Sauce
Wondering which to get? Here’s the quick comparison:
| Honey Mustard | Cane’s Sauce | |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor | Sweet, mild | Tangy, peppery |
| On the menu | No — ask for it | Yes — comes with every combo |
| Made in-house | Yes | Yes, fresh daily |
| Best with | Chicken fingers, fries | Everything — fingers, toast, fries |
Our take: get both. Order your combo with the standard Cane’s Sauce and ask for a honey mustard on the side. That way you can switch back and forth — and you’ll understand exactly why Cane’s Sauce has the cult following while still enjoying the variety.
How Much Does Honey Mustard Cost?
The sauce cup that comes with your combo is part of the meal price. If you want an extra cup of honey mustard beyond what’s included, expect to pay roughly the same as an extra Cane’s Sauce cup — menu trackers list extra sauce cups around $0.39–$0.49, though prices vary by location.
If you’re just asking to swap your included Cane’s Sauce cup for honey mustard, most locations do it without a fuss. For the full breakdown of what combos cost in 2026, see our Raising Cane’s combos guide and our complete Raising Cane’s price list.
Other Off-Menu Sauces and Extras at Raising Cane’s
Honey mustard isn’t the only thing hiding behind the counter. Here’s what else you can request:
- Louisiana Hot Sauce packets — free packets of The Original Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce. Mix it into Cane’s Sauce for a DIY Nashville-hot-style dip.
- Ketchup and mayo — available on request at most locations.

Best Things to Pair With Honey Mustard
