I went to Hangry Joes in short pump while waiting to see Moana 2 Friday. As you know regal doesn't have food and I was starving. There was one cashier and what looked like two cooks. The cashier was taking orders, packing order, quality control, giving orders to customers and taking orders to customers dinning in. It was quite amazing how he did it all with a smile. I waited about 17 minutes as all food is cooked fresh to order. I ordered the medium chicken tenders with waffle fries and Ginger Ale. The food was so hot and fresh and spicy like I like it. If you don't like your lips to tingle medium may not be for you. The restaurant was pretty quite other than some high school students in the back. Give yourself time to order as food is made to order. Returned the next day for my son to try it and he picked up the mundo chicken Sammy! Listen this to thing was basically the size of two patties from the place with the cow! Lol teenage boy approved! read more

I ordered the mega sando (chicken sandwich) with medium spice ($11) to go. The chicken was quite big and had great seasoning. The medium spice was just right if you want a small kick(next time I will try hot). The slaw and sauce mixed very well together. I was quite surprised with the flavor and size of the sandwich, it definitely exceeded my initial expectations. Overall a good fried spicy chicken sandwich spot, I would definitely come back again.

Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken - A hungry customer. - New American Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Interesting new spot serving fried chicken and boba tea. The Short Pump location has plenty of seating available and has tablets you can place your order. One weird thing is that the boba tea selections weren't available on the tablet. Not a big deal but weird. But anyway, more importantly, the food. It's very good. We all ordered ourselves a sandwich, waffle fries, and loaded fries. We each got a boba tea as well. My Chicken Sando was at a Hot level and it was pretty hot actually! It's the second highest level of spiciness. It was pretty good. The sandwich had a pretty thick piece of chicken in it. It was seasoned with the spices and was topped with Cole slaw, pickle, and sauce. The sauce was a pretty savory that went well with the spicy seasoning. It was delicious. Not sure I would venture into the highest level of spice. I'm somebody who can handle spice and this level was a little hard for me, so might want to avoid that level if you know you can't handle spice. The loaded fires were pretty decent too. It consisted of waffle fries, pickle, shredded cheese, and fried chicken pieces. I felt it consisted of more chicken than fries and by a big proportion. A solid side dish. The boba tea is good but not amazing. They have a good enough selection. It's actually a good menu item to have with your spicy food. Something sweet and milky is a good way to wear off some of that hot food! A funny thing happened is that they mislabeled two of our drinks: the matcha milk tea and the honeydew one. To be fair, their colors are pretty similar. Not a big deal but found it a little funny. One more thing to note is that the portions are HUGE. I can't believe I'm saying this: but it might actually be too big, like way too big portions. I consider myself a pretty heavy eater but that chicken sandwich alone nearly filled me up. Both the chicken and the buns are pretty thick, especially the chicken. I think halving the chicken thickness might make it more approachable for many. The loaded fries are pretty but portioned heavily too. It included quite a bit of fried chicken. I was the only one in our group who finished the entire sandwich. We boxed up the other two sandwiches and the loaded fries. So a sandwich might not be the best item for a light eater. Don't get me wrong, the food is very delicious and I highly recommend trying this place out. I would suggest sharing an entree with another person though. read more

All the food came out quickly, fresh and crispy. The chicken is seasoned well. The sandwiches are massive - I couldn't make it halfway through. I love the large pickle slices. The spicy garlic soy sauce and the hangry sauce are both good. The hangry sauce reminds me of the Raising Canes sauce. The bubble teas were perfect to cool down the spices. The loaded fries were a meal on its own. That'll be my go-to next time. You get a bit of everything: fries, chicken (more chicken than fries), cheese, and the hangry sauce. The staff is still working out some kinks. Several tables around us had an issue or two but the owners were quick to assist. You can either order on a kiosk or at the register. read more

If you're looking for fast food, this isn't the place. There weren't any other people in the store, and our order took 20 minutes--ordered a basic chicken sandwich. Price wise- everything is very reasonable. A combo is $15 which comes with your main, fries, and a drink. They gave Pepsi products available. The restaurant is fairly big! You'll definitely find a spot to sit. It's outdated but really clean. As for the food, it was decent hot chicken. I think it's very comparable to Dave's Hot Chicken. The chicken sandwich was huge. Waffle fries were good. Sauce was okay. Funnel fries were greasy and bland. Mac and cheese was just topped with cheese, that's it. On a positive, this place is Halal! The service is not :( EDIT: Attached is what they said about the wait, so I WILL NOT DOCK THEM OFF FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT read more

I got the chicken sando combo with spice level medium. I'd say the spicy sandwich at Chick-fil-a is spicier than this was. The bun and chicken were both dry. The fries were undercooked and soft. I gave two stars because the meal was super filling and the service was great. But the food was less than average. read more

Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken - To-go Chicken Sando combo. The fries were soft and undercooked. The bun and chicken were dry. - New American Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Wish I got pictures of my food, but everything was so good! I got the chicken sandwich with fried okra (and they ended yo giving me fried still). The chicken was hot, fresh and juicy, the okra was pretty good but just needed salt, and the fries were good too. I'll definitely be back! Service was good! read more

Good, hot, fresh food. Spice level is high. Love the wings and loaded fries. Only draw is the ridiculous wait even for a to go order. They will not start your to go order until you walk into the store. read more

I absolutely CRAVE this place! I live about an hour away, but tried it one day when I was at the pet store. It was the best chicken sandwich I'd ever had. The piece of chicken was huge. Hanging off the bun by 3". Each sandwich is made fresh, so you might wait 3/5 minutes, but it comes out nearly sizzling. The buns are premium buns and the Sando has a couple delish pickle slices like my grandma's mildly sweet pickles, a cider slaw and some Hangry Joe's sauce. It's a wonderful combination. We've gotten the combo, and the fries are nice waffle fries, but yesterday ( my 4th visit), the fries seemed like they'd been dropped in the grease several times. I prefer fresher fries. But just ask. They're super nice. You also get to choose your spicyness level. Choose wisely. I've gotten the habanero level each time because the red pepper on the outside of the chicken has amazing flavor. But, my lips burn for 30 minutes after we finish eating. Yes, we because after my 2nd time there. I dragged my poor husband and he has fallen completely in love with it too. He gets mild. Did I mention that we went twice this week? It's neatly 2 hours round trip. It's also a boba tea fountain. I haven't tried their boba yet, but the have a big selection. Hangry Joe's is definitely worth a try. read more

This was my first time here and I was blown away by how good it was. Even my mother loved it and she is a very picky eater. We got the basic chicken slaw sandwiches, no spice (still had great flavor). The flavors complimented each other so well. I've been craving it since. It did take a while so I would suggest ordering online. read more

I am so impressed with Hangry Joe's! It blew Cocky Rooster out of the water. The food was delicious. I mean the spice had so much flavor and the crunch on the chicken was perfection. In addition, the fries were fresh and I loved their signature sauce. Also, the staff was just so genuine and friendly. Some of the best service in the area. They truly just wanted to cook a great southern meal for you, but take the flavors to an 11. If you're craving a bite before a movie at Regal, be sure to stop in. If they had alcohol, this would be the SPOT. read more

Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken - Mild Chicken Tenders - New American Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Ordered Mild wings. I managed to eat one wing. Took back to the counter. I was surprised cashier did not offer me refund. Crazy awful spice on the breaded chicken. I threw up in the parking lot. Women walked up and asked if I was ok. Told them where I had eaten. They were going in to try. Needless to say they decided to try somewhere else to eat. I would suggest that this place serves food that will not be for everyone. I have since read about others that have gotten sick eating this stuff. You have been warned. read more

Interesting spot, hot fried chicken & Boba tea. We ordered the mild and it was very hot. I really liked it and glad I didn't ordered medium. The 4 chicken tender combo was perfect. Highly recommended read more

I'm so happy this opened up right next to my house because I crave it so much now!! I always get the chicken sando with mild spice (be careful with the spice levels because anything medium and up is very spicy). Based on how I'm feeling, I also get some fries and bubble tea (this location has bubble tea in the store). The fried chicken is SO GOOD and always hits the spot. The slaw is made so well and compliments the spice perfectly. And the waffle fries are the perfect level of crisp. What I especially love about this place/location is how friendly the owners are! Their service is always exceptional and I can't recommend this place enough if you love spicy fried chicken!! read more

Hangry Joe's is an interesting establishment in my opinion. In one sense, it's a fried chicken fast food place. But on the other hand, such a label would be doing a disservice to it. There's an extra level of effort put into it that puts the quality a step above. They certainly pull no punches with the spices. Best advice I can give-whatever level you get else where, go down one level here-if you get medium, go mild; if you go mild, get no heat-as these are certainly turned up to 11. On a final humorous note-I think the music played is just someone's phone playlist. We heard multiple songs from the same few artists while we were there read more

So, I decided to try Hangry Joe's today because I was very hungry and in the mood for chicken. I get there and I was immediately greeted by Justin, who turned out to be a cool dude. They had today's hits playing on the radio and I immediately noticed the cleanliness, which, I am super grateful for. Justin helped me navigate the menu by explaining my options. I immediately gravitated towards the Medium Hot Sando, which is a huge sandwich with waffle fries and a fountain drink . As I waited I got myself a coke and waited at the bar top. The sandwich came out in less than 10 minutes. I have to say, wow! I looked at this sandwich in amazement! It was huge and looked so good! It literally looked like what they would show in a commercial. I bit into this monster and I immediately felt the heat from the seasoning then the temp. Mmmmm! The thick cut pickles were a great addition along with the crispy semi sweet slaw to balance the whole sandwich out. The side of waffle fries were crispy and seasoned well. The fries came with a spicy mayonnaise type sauce which I asked for more. Lol! I couldn't help it. Lol! This meal was huge so I had to tap out. I came in very hungry and left satisfied! That's exactly what I wanted. Let's step back and realize this is not a gourmet restaurant and that is totally fine. I have expectations when I enter a corporate business. I know it's not going to be the best sandwich you have ever ate, but I have a high standard for cleanliness and quality. Hangry Joe's definitely met my expectations and their food is great! I will be going back to try their chicken tenders/nuggets. I never skip a restaurant based on other people's reviews because their perspective may be different than mine. I like big portions and spice and that's what I got. Give it a try for yourself. Just do me a favor! Go HUNGRY!!!!! read more

Visited this location for the first time after a few visits to the first / pilot location. I always have high hopes for a chicken joint. Unfortunately I think Hangry suffers from some execution and service issues. The chicken sandwich was certainly flavorful. However, while previous sandwiches at the Ashland location were served with a single chicken breast, the Short Pump location was served with 3 tenders that were over cooked. And the sandwich was also extremely messy and fell apart as a result of a dry bun and the tenders. I provided feedback to the owner and got a defensive response telling me they only serve the sandwich with a single chicken breast at all locations. Pictures and my experience suggest otherwise. No way to run a business telling me I'm wrong. Okra on the side was incredibly bland and under seasoned. I didn't order the fries or the loaded fries this time as those were disappointing when I previously tried them at the Ashland location. Melt the cheese in those loaded fries! Amateur hour. Service wasn't welcoming or attentive at all. I will be sticking to Buttermilk & Honey given consistency and service is great there. read more

Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken - Spinach Pinwheel. - New American Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Their chicken is really good, but if you order anything else, it's hit or miss. The boba in the boba tea is always undercooked. Additionally, if you get the loaded fries or Mac and cheese, they BASICALLY put all chicken in it and just a little bit of fries or mac. Who wants to eat all chicken? With chicken?? Doesn't make any sense. Here's literally all the Mac and cheese that was put in my loaded Mac. Just a disappointment. This is my 3rd time going to them. Go there for chicken. That's clearly their speciality but not anything else. read more

Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken - New American Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

This chicken is FIRE...in every sense!! We got a mild spicy sandwich & medium spicy tender and the chicken is delicious but was extremely spicy on both, so be aware. If you are not a spice person order the no heat as would probably have a good amount of heat without being too much. Fries and boba are good too. We will definitely be going back soon for the chicken again, just at a lower spice level! read more

Food was good. Hot is HOT!! The lobby was clean. The service was not good. The hostess was indifferent and the food took 37 minutes to prepare. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. Got the leg and thigh. They cut a hole in the thigh big enough to poke your finger through. The owner said that's how they do it. What fried chicken place does that? Took it back and got chicken fingers instead. Chicken fingers were bad too. Breading was soggy and yellow in color. Not golden brown. Chicken was tough. Took that back and the cashier called the owner because there was no manger on staff. Owner said too bad and would not refund the order. Told me to dispute the charge. Also, don't tip your orders. Owner keeps it for himself. It is not given to the staff. And if you're expecting Nashville hot, it's halal chicken. We talked to the guy who came after us. He had a Hangry Joes coupon that they didn't honor. Shady owner with a shady business. HANGRY JOES' PREVIOUS OWNER, YOU SHOULD HAVE NOT SOLD IT TO THIS GUY. For everyone else, do yourself a favor and go across the street to Dave's Hot Chicken. Sooooo much better. read more

This is the perfect place to get spicy chicken. Their spice level is higher than expected. When ordering, remember mild= medium, medium= hot, Hot= super super hot. We're never disappointed. read more

Went here due to the reviews and who doesn't love fried chicken. Entered hangry and left angry. Got the mild chicken strips and they were greasy and salty. The waffle fries were ok. We also got the spicy soy and garlic nuggets and they were inedible spicy and salty. Tossed the nuggets in the trash. The serving size is small and the price is high. Nothing to see here...go anywhere else for your fried chicken fix. read more

Medium had me sweating but the cider slaw was a great equalizer for the chicken sandwich. Might go less heat if possible. Otherwise delicious sandwich, read more

A lot of food for the price and a LOT of heat! If you like spicy give the sando a shot!

I had Hangry Joes for the first time about a week ago in Maryland. Everything about it was amazing so I decided to eat again in my area. I ordered the same thing and was disappointed. My wrap was put together so poorly it fell apart as I was eating it. It also had a slice of Kraft cheese on it and the first wrap I got did not. Barely any coleslaw which is my favorite part. It took a while to get our food, but they were a little busy. I don't think I will be returning to this location based off my first experience with them today. read more

Great chicken. Large servings. The medium is petty spicy. Atmosphere is like any other fast food restaurant. Service was good. Clean
