I had a craving for fries so stopped by Hangry Joe's and they hit the spot! The customer service was good (eye contact, pleasant) and the fries were hot and yummy. read more

The food was good. Honestly, the chicken was delicious. When I can't really put my finger on, really, I think was the overall demeanor of the person at the register that day. I couldn't tell if he was just upset or just didn't wanna be there. I was trying to ask him for chicken with one of the wet rub versus dry rubs. And in the end, he really did not give the order like I had expected, but really didn't say anything. Immense is just really a quick fast food chicken place, but they have a cool mural inside I had to drop at one star just because really that person at the register taking the order it's not really personable an establishment that is Customer facing read more

Great food but the ordering online or through the app is now impossible for the past few weeks. There is constantly a credit card error no matter whether WiFi/network/device I try. Will stop wasting my time trying to order food from any Hangry Joes read more

Was just so-so. The spice level was variable across the pieces, and the DoorDash folks incorporated my order with several other orders so by the time it got to me, it was barely lukewarm. Fries were soggy and cold. Probably won't repeat. read more

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. read more

Good, not great. Ordered takeout online, got two Chicken Sando and the Chicken and Waffles dish. Location is in Worldgate Center, in Herndon. There's plenty of parking in the lot outside, and also nearby shops and restaurants in the same complex, such as TGI Friday's and Weird Brothers Coffee. I got second highest level of spicy, for both the Sando (spicy hot, I believe). Chicken Sando was spicy and needed napkins, but not as bad as the highest spice level. I recommend not getting that unless you're serious. I tried it once at a different Hangry Joe's, and felt like I was dying inside. In short, there's a difference between bravery and sheer stupidity. Be the wolf, not the dog (I guess that kinda makes sense? Even though one is evolved from the other, lol) Anyway, food was good, and portions were acceptable. However, not outstanding flavors or taste. I'll give it a pass, though. read more

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. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

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!!! read more

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. read more

When I heard about Hangry Joe's, I took a look at their menu and liked what I saw. What pleased me was that their chicken was offered with varied degrees of spiciness. It ranged from no seasoning at all to "angry hot". If you want to have "angry hot" you are required to sign a waiver...it's that hot...yikes! As we've gotten older, we just can't handle very spicy items as well as in our younger days. Plus, when it came to super spicy, I was always a wimp about it anyway. Thus we were pleasantly surprised to see that Hangry Joe offered up their chicken with choices as to the spiciness. We were there on a Saturday around 6:30 and they were doing a good business. They have a few tables inside as well as outside. We chose to eat inside. You can place your order directly with an employee or at a touch screen. We did it by talking to an employee. The young man who helped us was friendly and patient when we had a couple of questions. We both got the "salad with chicken breast" which consists of: "Romaine lettuce, cherry tomato, cheddar cheese, chicken breast cider slaw and croutons with a choice of balsamic, ranch or caesar dressing". I chose balsamic while my husband chose ranch. We both got our chicken prepared with "mild spice". To drink, we shared a bottle of water. Since everything is prepared to order, it took a little while to get it. The wait wasn't bad at all, in other words, we didn't get annoyed about it. The chicken was served in small pieces. Each piece was consistently tender and juicy. The mild spice was just right for us. I describe it this way --- it added flavor to the chicken without overpowering the salad ingredients. Still, it did give us runny noses and our lips were tingling. We were very surprised at how generous the portion of chicken was! The salad ingredients were all fresh. In fact, we found ourselves getting quite full! We both agree that we want to return and try other items. Right now I have my eye on the "Korean chicken nuggets" with soy garlic sauce (the sauce is available in spicy and non-spicy form). read more

Hangry Joe's was not bad. I was a little concerned about the quality before going, based on other reviews but, they seem to have locations everywhere, so I wanted to give them a try. For my meal, I got the "Combo 1" option at a mild spice level, which comes with their "Chicken Sando" sandwich, waffle fries and a fountain drink. I enjoyed the sandwich as it was a good size and did not fall apart as many of these types of chicken sandwiches tend to. In terms of the spice, I did not find the "Mild" level to be spicy at all. As far as the waffle fries go, I was disappointed. They tasted fine but there was only a small amount. Overall, the meal was good but not super special. If you like chicken sandwiches this is not a bad place to go to. read more

In this local area there a million places to chose from and I chose here. Ordered the chicken nuggets in spicy soy garlic sauce which came with white rice... I wish it was actually spicy but the sauce was flavorful all it was missing was a few broccoli florets just 2 or 3 to balance out the flavors. I'd definitely come back and try a few more items. read more

Came for the first time in September -- big portions, well justifying the price! Chicken (both fingers and sandwich) were juicy. The "mild" was actually a good spice level as it build and builds as you keep eating. Got the fried okra as a side which took it over the top (healthy but fried? why not!) Unfortunately what was super offputting was when the woman came up to us to 1) ask how our food was then 2) "thank you for the tip but please pay cash next time in a small restaurant like this" then stand there awkwardly... Completely ruined any enjoyment of our lunch. Ordered extra takeaway anyways, but will not come back again. Have had other hot chicken and would prefer to go elsewhere due to this despite proximity to my family home. read more

I was excited to try this new spot as soon as I had seen the signs come up. It replaced the A-deli that had been there for a while. I decided to go on a Thursday night around 6:30PM and the restaurant was crowded. There was a line of people waiting to order, and I decided the quickest way to get my order in would be using the kiosk. I was able to get my order in within a few minutes. There is minimal seating inside, but I was able to get a table. I ordered the Chicken Sando (mild), the large chicken bites (mild) and the spicy soy garlic Korean nuggets with rice. Everything was delicious, but very spicy! I've already been back to the restaurant and went with the no heat spice level and the experience was much more pleasant for me. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get. The chicken Sando was amazing and the size of the chicken in it was huge. Definitely a great addition to the Worldgate Center! read more

Chicken wings were undersauced, underseasoned, undercooked, & overrated. Fries were good as well as the sauce they came with. Their sweet tea was very flavorless, I would not recommend it as a drink. Service was okay, cashier was slightly confused on what cup size goes with the combo I ordered. Not my favorite ambiance but it had a lot to do with decor & slight lack of cleanliness (food on floor). read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Food: So, Hangry Joes is starting to win me over, and here's why: big portions, that halal chicken, and a flavor explosion! When I explore new hot chicken spots, I usually take a chance and go for the "hot" level, and this place brought the heat! Their chicken is juicy, crispy, and it's so massive that it practically breaks free from the sandwich. You can see it in the picture - it's almost comical how much chicken there is, but I'm loving it! They've got those thick-cut pickles, a cooling slaw, and a sweet, creamy sauce that's spot on. Now, I'm a fan of mixing things up, usually preferring to have honey and creamy sauce separately to customize my flavor. But Hangry Joes serves it up all in one package, and I'm getting used to it. Vibe: The spot isn't the biggest joint around, but it's got enough room for a few groups to enjoy their meals while they're still fresh. You can choose to order at the kiosk on the left or have a chat with the friendly owner, who always seems to be around. It's generally pretty chill - a few people coming and going, and the occasional group sitting down. It seems like most folks are opting for takeout, though. read more

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. read more

We pretty much ordered 1 of everything to go. One of my favorite fried chicken spots and my usual go to is the salad with medium heat chicken and ranch dressing. It is a smaller location and the parking in the shopping center isn't the best so we usually take it to go. The self order kiosks are easy to use or there is a cashier you can order from. Not a whole lot of seating side but there is some outside. Definitely check it out if you haven't already read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Korean Chicken Nuggets Chicken and Waffle Salad with Chicken Breast Chicken Sando Loaded Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Fired chicken sandwiches seem to be latest food trend, with Hangry Joe's the latest addition to the local area. There is a small seating area, and you can either order from the counter or at a set of computer screens. The staff was very polite and friendly. My meal took about 15 minutes to be ready, not usual. I usually ask for my sandwich medium- I like a good kick but not my mouth on fire. And the sandwich delivered- its was a good size chicken portion with slaw and pickles. The flavor was pretty good, but doesn't beat Wooboi or Roaming Rooster. The fries were a disappointment- decent flavor but the texture was poor- limp and no crunch at all. read more

My first time at this location and ordered online. Food was ready in maybe 10-15 mins right around lunch time. Got the chicken sando, jr chicken sando, and waffle fries. The jr sando was perfect for lunch time as I didn't want to eat too much. The medium was a perfect heat and my husband enjoyed spicy. I got the cole slaw on the side, which is a simple vinegar flavor. The restaurant is more of a pick up location, although there are some seats for dining in. read more

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! read more

Summary: the hottest spice level is pretty damn hot. Although it's not even close to Wooboi Blue, it doesn't taste like it is actively giving you radiation poisoning. There's a good amount of food for the price. Full review: This summer (2022) my friends and I, field by an influx of internship cash, wanted to try the variety of restaurants, ideally underground, in NoVa. My goal was finding places that were tasty and cheap enough that a typical college student could indulge on a regular basis. Bonus points were awarded if the place felt like it would fail a health safety inspection. We came here just for the experience of eating super spicy food. I think my tolerance is pretty good. The hottest spice level here was teetering on the edge of being "too much" past enjoyable but gave me a pretty good endorphin rush. The spice doesn't compare to how hot the Wooboi Blue is (1 tier below at least), but the sandwich tastes a bit better as a result. Waffle fries were pretty good. Can't comment too much on health safety. Everything seemed normal/fine, but the tablets you order on were a bit sticky. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Chicken Sando - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I personally like my hot chicken with more spices and heat, so I prefer Wooboi more. But the sando sandwich here isn't bad. First of all, the size of the chicken itself is generous and huge. It's moist. Not as crispy as I would like. The coleslaw inside the sandwich is flavorful. The wedge fries are decent. The Korean chicken nuggets were disappointing. Not crispy and honestly, not very flavorful. The rice that came with the nuggets was subpar (I have high rice standards since I'm Asian). The nuggets itself almost takes like orange chicken from Mandarin Express at a mall food court. Sadly, this new hot chicken place isn't a win for me. I think I've been spoiled by other hot chicken joints. read more

Went here after seeing ads for about a month on their grand opening. Got a chicken Sando that was "mild" w/fried okra, and my partner got the chicken tender combo that was also "mild". Let me start off by saying their mild is NOT mild. We both can handle heat too and this was more of a "hey hope you don't have to be too far from a toilet anytime soon! Oh and I hate your mouth" heat. Besides the sauce being way too spicy the chicken itself is pretty bland, the coleslaw didn't add any flavor at all. And some of the fried okra was either undercooked or too young to use for frying. Fries were the only decent thing in our order. Basically if you want a super spicy chicken sandwich this is your place, but if you want a seasoned chicken sandwich with heat options that actually make sense go to Wooboi's. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Sando & fried okra - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Definitely amongst the better hot chicken spots. The portions are generous yet still edible, the flavors are fantastic and in fact spicy without being overbearing and unenjoyable, and the cook is perfectly tender and juicy. The sandwiches are topped with great proportional ratios of pickles, sauce, slaw, and the such and hold up quite well. The bun also doesn't disintegrate as you eat and is kind of the perfect texture. The service was fairly prompt. The one star off is only because the interior is super duper basic and could definitely use some work. It's clean but just very bland and not somewhere I'd really wanna hang out for too long. But either way the sandwiches are fantastic and I'd definitely recommend for any hot chicken lover. Added bonus is that the wings are solid too and are quite meaty read more

The food is absolutely delicious. The service is wonderful. Even if it's just one man working there, he's really quick and friendly. The food is prepared quickly and well. The sauce is very good with the food. I recommend the Chicken & Waffles. The ambiance is perfect. Just perfect. Definitely come to this place to eat. read more

Very solid chicken sandwich. I personally like more of a slaw with mine other than just some super fat cuts or pickle. However the flavor of the spice and the chicken was good. Their spice chart is a little off, I'd say each is spicier than what the name gives off. read more

Got a spicy chicken sando and it was definitely packing some heat! Ordered a combo which includes a sandwich, fries, and a drink. The sandwich was flavorful, chicken was moist, and it balanced well with the sauce, slaw, and pickle.

Fair amount of seating inside for anyone planning to dine in. read more

Hopefully just a one off---but the chicken I ordered via DoorDash came completely raw. Real safety issue.

Get The Wings. I've visited Hangry Joe's multiple times and tried almost everything on the menu because I like their crispy breading and their seasoning on the chicken, and they always serve their food fresh. Their chicken sandwich/tenders/bites are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, but I was always curious how it would taste like if the same breading and seasoning was done for bone-in wings because I generally like bone-in wings better than tenders. Well, problem solved because they now sell wings. Yes, bone-in wings. I got the 6 piece wings with Mild heat level and wow... they were sooo good... Wings are good sized, crispy and well seasoned on the outside as expected, but inside was juicier than their tenders/bites. Wings are now my favorite item on the menu at Hangry Joe's. If you are like me and prefer the bone-in wings, get the wings here and eat them fresh if you can. read more

I really like their burgers, and the options of spicy level. But hear me out, the other day the 4th level tasted the same as no spicy level. My 9 month old could eat it... and then one day I will go all out and order the top one and it will be too spicy. I don't know what is the measure of a spicy kick spice level before it starts hurting. Will keep trying. They can do a better coleslaw though... read more

Great food, reasonable prices for the quantity they give you. I ordered the chicken and waffles and got 4 thick pieces of waffle, plus 4 filling chicken tenders. I could only eat 2 of each and it gave me a nice second meal. I ordered mild chicken tenders and it gave me enough heat and enough of a kick, but I wanted the sauce and not just a bland chicken tender. It was packed here and it took 20 minutes to get my food from the time I ordered. I expected it would be quicker than that and just resigned myself to order online or call it in before leaving work to pick it up. It was very good and I saw samplings of other things while I was waiting for my food, like the loaded fries, which looks delicious. I enjoyed my meal and I will definitely be back with co-workers who also want to try this Nashville style chicken. Highly recommend, but expect to wait when it is around a meal time especially since they recently opened. read more

From out of town (Texas) for work and decided against the traditional Chili's, Olive Garden, Wendy's, Chick- Fil- A etc. takeout options. Found Hangry Joe's on maps and Yelp and I tell you now, experience the food for yourself and don't let others "horror" stories steer you away. SUPER good chicken sandwich combo with fried okra instead of waffle fries. MILD means mild and yes my mouth was slightly on fire because it's MILD SAUCE, I'm sure the seasoning is in there somewhere so don't let other options keep you from trying a really good sandwich. Menu option is simple so it's not hard to decide and even better there's a salad option for the healthier eaters. Definitely recommend a change from boring selections. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Chicken Sando Combo 1 - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

The very expensive Chicken Sando sandwich is delicious, with slaw, sauce, and two large pickle slices. The "Angry Hot" sauce is overwhelming (and I'm a hot sauce fan) so beware. The sauce is soaked into the breaded chicken and isn't the sauce in the slaw. The sandwich features a very large piece of breaded chicken that is very tender and juicy and served on a delicious brioche bun. Look forward to exploring the rest of the menu. I'd like to learn the recipe for the "Angry Hot" sauce because it's mind-blowing. Note: I ordered via DoorDash and my sandwich arrived in the usual paper presentation like in the store, not wrapped, and placed directly in a plain paper bag. For better quality, I believe that food prepared for delivery should be packed in an outer container for food safety and heat retention reasons. read more
