Wow! I'm someone that likes very spicy foods but their Hangry level kicked my butt. The waiver when ordering that level is no joke. Get extra napkins for sweat on the brow, runny nose, and teary eyes. What I could taste was very good. On the down side they don't interact with you when ordering. Ordering is on the equivalent of an iPad and when I tried to ask a question about checking out on it I was ignored. Bring back customer service!

My go-to place when I want something yummy that is not too unhealthy, is reliable, does not deviate up or down too much, and is a decent price while also in a convenient location, if at least for myself. The chicken, bread, coleslaw, and fries are almost always well made. There are slight variations within how crunchy and how well cooked and seasoned the chicken is, but I would say it never falls below a 3.5 on taste and execution, and on a good day, it can be as high as 4.7 to 4.8 out of 5. When you account for the promotion that is currently going on on Uber Eats, especially if you have a Capital One Savor card, this is an impeccable deal. I order from here for both myself as well as my partner with recurring regularity. Is this the best hot chicken in the area? Possibly not, but it is pretty high up there. In terms of the heat, the flavors, the execution, and the quality of the chicken, this place likely beats out most; especially given price point and reliability. If you live in an area with a Hangry Joe's and you don't patronize them, well... you're missing out. Initially I was going to offer a comparison to the more instagram-friendly places that a lot of people seem to congregate at these days, particularly those who are overpriced, overly loud, and have service, ambiance, and food quality and execution issues; but then I decided, as opposed to throwing (albeit true and legitimate) shade, I would allow for Joe's to simply speak for itself. If you are a spice novice or not spice resistant, begin with Mild.

So good!! I was staying in town at hotel and found Hangry Joes Hot Chicken on UberEats & Yelp. The reviews were good enough for me to give them a try! SO GOOD! I ordered a combo with the Chicken Sandwich Medium (very light spice and so tasty) with the waffle fries and a soft drink. Delivery was about $20 with a special on UberEats. If you're in the mood for an upgraded fast food give Hangry Joes chicken sandwich a try. Delicious!!!

Great place to get some GOOD chickens sandwiches! There was only one lady behind the counter taking/dispatching orders, so there was a little bit of wait. The store is clean and spacious.

Hangry Joe's does not disappoint. First time here and loved it. Did Mild this time. Next will be medium. Went with Sando Combo 1. Chicken sandwich was phenomenal. Crunchy outside. Juicy and tender inside. Delicious toppings. Bun is tasty. Chicken filet was huge. Only advice. Add more fries. What you see in the picture was the serving. Other than that, this place is awesome. Service with a smile. Fast service. Great food. Should be a 4.5. Packed at 1120 on a Wednesday.

With a wait time of 3 hours for Topgolf we searched for a nearby place to eat. Maps pointed at at Hangry joes, and with a group of 15 persons, where majority was kids, it was bound to be fast food. Area had a Big parking and we found one just in front of Hangry J. Very similar concept as Dave's hot chicken, with white bread served with tenders, many levels of hotness, for your choosing. We ordered sandwiches, chicken tenders and waffles fries. The sandwich had the right crunch and juiciness and they served us fast. Perhaps that's why it's called fast food...,. Sauce is a must and the spice level medium was good level of hot food for me. We sat outdoor and didn't really capture the ambiance, but the staff was helpful and service-minded.

Having had many hot chicken spots, I'd say this one is one of the better ones. I don't think it beats Dave's Hot Chicken for me but definitely holds its own. The size of the chicken they use is probably the most surprising part. It was actually a big piece of chicken for a sandwich but I'm not complaining. The spice level was good but I'd definitely go hotter than hot next time. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The fries were also very very good. I'm a fan of waffle fries so that's a plus for me. We did a takeout order and it didn't take too long for it to be ready. Only 15 mins I think. The restaurant is a tad small but that's because it's in the Worldgate shopping center. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back because it is closer than Dave's in DC.
