Awesome hot chicken spot! Highly recommend trying the chicken sando or getting a chicken fingers meal! If you are not super hungry, the Jr. sando is not a bad option at all and still plenty of food! Service was fast and friendly. Inside was clean. Parking was not too difficult to find a spot for lunch. I would hope that this place is popping before Mariners, Sounders, and Seahawks games, because it is tasty. I like spicy food, and I talked with them about what I normally order elsewhere to adjust my spice tolerance to them. I ended up going up a level in spice compared to what I normally would have thought. The company is based out of Virginia, so do with that information what you will. Overall, it is a good addition to the spicy chicken market in the area. Will go back again and want to try the loaded fries and the loaded mac and cheese, just because it is intriguing. Their sandos, wings, and tenders are all worth trying though! Cheers! read more

As a Hot-chicken-enjoyer I was eager to give Hangry Joes a try once I was in the area. I ordered on the digital kiosk right as you walked in. Since it was my first time, I wanted to order something simple, and I tried the 4 piece chicken tender, second hottest level ("hot"). The best thing I can say about the tenders were that they were freshly made and hot, and the hangry dipping sauce was pretty good. But the tenders really lacked much seasoning or spice at all, and the batter was so thin there wasn't much crunch to them either. I wouldn't order these again. Maybe the tenders are just not their specialty, I would certainly try something else if I went back. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - 4 Piece Chicken Tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sunday after the Mariners game, I was walking back to my car acting like a tourist taking in my surroundings. Well, Hangry Joes. 1st Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98134, caught my eye. The facility offers 3 self-ordering stations, in addition to counter service. This place is definitely capable of handling a large crowd if needed. The ordering process is certainly a seamless process, if you're not familiars with the offerings, there's several menu board to peruse. The service is expeditious, friendly enough for an in and out to go experience. There is a single, well-maintained bathroom in the establishment, which i found to be a plus, as it shows to me at least that the care about the customer experience. So, I ordered the # 3 combo, Chicken Bap with Waffle Fries, plus a med drink. Also ordered a side of Cole slaw. The combo was $16.95, and the slaw was $3.95. As for the flavor and quality of the food, let's start with the waffle fries, I'd have to give a pass on them, they were rather mid, as in not creamy on the interior, nor crispy on the exterior. The Cole slaw, for me was mildly sweet, yet overpowered by a savory aspect, it was not creamy or refreshing. I'm not a fan of KFC, but they do have a refreshing, sweeter, crisper Cole slaw that it to die for, but not enough that I'd go out of my way to purchase. The chicken bap with the Spicy Soy Garlic Sauce, over rice was pretty good, but familiar to other dishes of its kind. I'd have to try other options to say if I'd go back for another go round. Some of the items I was interested in were a bit spending for what I thought it would be, ie the chicken wings. Overall, it was something to try and I did enjoy the Chicken Bap combo. read more

We were so excited when this location opened! Having loved the Hangry Joe's in Kirkland, we couldn't wait to check out the new spot. We came around 8:40 PM on a Friday. Although they mentioned they were closing at 9 PM, they still kindly took our orders, which we really appreciated. I got the Messy Chicken Sando combo and thoroughly enjoyed it! The restaurant was spacious--larger than the Kirkland location. At exactly 9 PM, the staff came out and let everyone know it was closing time and we needed to leave. We weren't quite finished with our meals, but we packed up the rest to go (all meals were served in to-go boxes anyway). This location had several SODO-exclusive specials, which I might try next time. There was plenty of street parking available on the side and in the back. read more

I just had Hangry Joe's, and I'm still hangry! To be fair, I only ordered a 4 piece tender. All it comes with is a slice of bread, pickles, and sauce. I knew that this would be just a snack, but I did expect a little more meat on these lil guys. I'm always cautious to climb up the spice ladder at a spot that claims to specialize in hot chicken. But the medium here felt like it was scared of me. There was an essence of pepper, but nothing that even tickled my tongue. If I went here again, I would try the hot for sure. The chicken at Hangry Joe's is a carbon copy from what I've seen of Dave's. It's nothing to write home about, but if you're in the area it's a decent spot to try. They do a decent job on the chicken itself. A very thin layer of breading, that still has a crisp. It actually doesn't make you feel that bad after eating it. But personally, I would prefer to have a huge layer and suffer from it. That's what I expect going into a hot chicken experience. Chicken is moderately juicy, mayo based sauce is good. All around decent experience for a lil appetizer. read more

HOT STUFF HERE! This delicious messy chicken sandwich made me very happy!!! Add a side of waffle fries and your taste buds will thank you. Many levels of heat to chose from. My husband and son decided to go with medium, but i went with the hot. Can you believe there's another level about that (waiver needs to be signed) but hot was plenty hot for me! The menu is simple yet straight forward. Choose your chicken (nuggets, tenders or sandwich) and then choose your dry rub heat and then the sauce. The service was great, and the facility was very clean. read more

I was craving some hot chicken and found this place through a Google search. I went on a Sunday but there was no parking available so I went back the day after. I ordered the chicken wrap which looked small out of the box but it had a lot of chicken in it and was very filling. Also super spicy and must have with both the sauce and the sliced pickles. For my drink I ordered the avocado milk tea with tapioca pearls. Below are my scores for this restaurant: Food - 8/10 Space - 9/10 Parking - 2/10 Price - 4/10 read more

Their chicken + rice bowls are sooo good! I recommend getting the spicy soy garlic one! Love that they have waffle cut fries here too. Their messy chicken sandwich is better than the regular one. read more

Really cool concept--two restaurants in one location, one serving fried chicken and the other teriyaki. The fried chicken was the star of the show! Super crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were also on point and made the meal even better. Definitely something everyone should try at least once. The teriyaki, however, didn't quite hit the mark for me. It was okay, but not something I'd come back for. If you're a fried chicken fan, this place is worth checking out. Just stick to the chicken and sides, and you'll leave happy! read more

I saw this place on social media and was moderately intrigued. It wasn't what I expected. You walk in and are immediately greeted with 3 kiosks, 2 of which is for Hangry Joe's and 1 for poké. They also serve boba. It's like 3 shops in 1. Not sure if it's different businesses that decided to rent out one place together or if they're truly 1 business. For the chicken portion of the shop, it was decorated in cartoon chickens that I thought were funny. We ordered a combo which came with waffle fries and drink, a regular hot chicken sandwich, and a passion fruit tea. Fries were good, not very hot coming out but crispy. Chicken was ok. Not crispy, with a thin batter. Very hot. I got mine with the Smokey bbq sauce and I thought it was gonna be dunked in sauce but it was just sorta drizzled on, so I do wish I got more of that flavor. I saw someone else say they wish they got slaw on the side, so I did that, and I'm glad I did and encourage others to do so. My bf got it with slaw in and I saw it was quite drippy. It was an interesting place overall. Biggest critique is I wish the chicken was crispier. I think honestly they didn't fry my chicken long enough. It was cooked to be safe to eat but not long enough for the texture to be palatable (not sure if that makes sense but if you cook chicken breast I'm sure you get what I mean!) read more

Sometimes just the kid and I go out. He wanted spicey chicken... ...and that's how we found Hangry Joe's. The menu is perfect...they are in the spicey chicken business and that's what you can get! My son, who never wanted anything spicey until recently, got the hot chicken sandwich combo...it is hot! He loved it. I went for the medium. The chicken was perfectly cooked with just enough heat. What a great sandwich! The waffle fries were delicious. We also got the wings with just the medium dry rub. Very good, crispy and juice with some good heat. read more

Finally! Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken has been on my local must try restaurants for a bit now and yesterday, I went! The location is easy to find as it's across the street from Starbucks HQ and the Amazon place. There is automated ordering similar to Shake Shack with kiosks at the entry area. The location doubles with SoDo Poke sharing the inside space. The inside is large and pleasantly decorated with bright and busy murals and menus on the walls. We each had a Chicken Sando combo that came with a canned soda and waffle fries and a couple of containers of their Yum Yum sauce (sorta like fry sauce). You can order the chicken sandwich with varying levels of hotness. I chose medium and my son chose hot. We each agreed that the spice level of hotness was less than expected. In other words, they weren't too hot. That being said, we loved our sandwiches! The sandwich chicken piece was very large and stuck out about 3 inches from the bun and the waffle fries were crispy and cooked right. The sandos come with pickles, cider slaw and the sauce and when ordering you can have some of those items on the side. I like their customization options. They also offer a variety of sides with customization options. Overall, this place is pretty tasty and worth a try when down in the SoDo area. I would return here in the future. read more

Not bad, but also not the most amazing thing I've had - I think chicken sandwiches might just not be for me. I got the combo and mac and cheese side - the sandwich itself is a huge portion which is a plus. I learned the hard way I should've ordered with the Cole slaw on the side because it takes a long time to get through half the chicken before you get to the actual sandwich, and by then it's a soggy mess. Fries were actually pretty good! Mac and cheese was disappointing, basically tasted like the microwaved stuff you can get at the grocery store. Not super busy on Saturday for lunch, so everything was fast, and service was friendly. Random note but the bathroom sink water was scalding hot read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Combo 1 (SandoFriesDrink) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Such a delicious juicy chicken sando! I ordered the combo so also got fries and a drink, the fries were standard but the sauce that came with the fries was yummy. I wish the drink options were more varied (options are Coke/Sprite/water) and included lemonade or something but obviously not a big deal. As for the chicken sandwich itself, the chicken was crispy and juicy and the bread was perfect to my liking. Bread of my dreams. This spot shares a seating area with another restaurant, but has plenty of seating to go around. I'd come back to try their other items or get another chicken sando! read more

TLDR: The chicken sandwich tastes as good as they look. Don't be intimidated by the "hot" if you're not a hot chicken person, theres something here for you. If you're in the area and thinking about this place - just do it a must try! The Food: Chicken Sando: The attention to detail they put in the sandwich is amazing. It looks amazing and taste amazing. They even give you an extra sauce container in the box - Yes they use a box and dont wrap the sandwich so it gets all steamy and soggy. - THANK YOU!!!! Fries: Crispy, perfectly seasoned - you'll b happy with them. Service and Atmosphere: - The level of effort they put here should be studied and copied by every restaurant of this tier. - The staff was HUSTLING! They were also extremely attentive and friendly. What can be better?: - Milk Drunk is the gold standard for the area. And this place, while different, isn't as good because the chicken (the one I had) was dry (see pic). They're also in competition with Paseos which is a god tier sandwich in itself. I think if they brined their sandwich and or used chicken thighs they be in this league.. - I want to try their wings, but there damn near double the price of milk drunk (the best wings in seattle imho!) and paseos.. I understand their prices are their prices.. but that barrier to entry is a non-starter. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken feels like one of the place that survive off its captive audience (being across the street from Starbucks HQ) I cam craving some hot chicken but got the saddest chicken fingers I have ever witnessed in real life. Even wilder is that they sell poke, though they really, really shouldn't. It feels like an afterthought probably because it is, and they don't have the toppings to make it really work. Unless you're working at Starbucks and are really hungry for lunch I would really reconsider. read more

Top 3 favorite chicken places in Seattle!! Spicy and delicious. I forgot to take a photo again but this was my second time going and I feel like it gets better each time! The hangry sauce is my favorite and I always grab a few extra sides for my meal. Service is quick and consistent usually. I've had the wrap and the strips. I preferred the strips because the meat was thiccc and juicy. The wrap has an amazing slaw but falls apart very easily. I don't really know how to resolve that but I'll try to think of a creative solution on my end! The teas are also yummy and fresh. Definelty recommend this place for some quality delicious chicken and site bites ! Waffle fries are 10/10. Next time I will remember to take a photo first! read more

11/15/25 Normally this is our fave place to eat for chicken. Our go to!! Tonight thow the young kid wouldn't let us order pickles. We normally do and pay for them, which we offered to and he said we don't do that. We ordered loaded waffle fries. Got home and the fries tasted old and cold, the chicken was so dry my chihuahuas almost choked. Not sure what happened tonight but hopefully this won't happen again. We usually go during the week read more

Great location and I really appreciated that they were open for dinner at 7:30pm on a weekday. Most places in that area are only open during lunch hours. Inside is really big with many tables. We ordered from a kiosk which my husband despises. I also would have preferred to order from a human especially since it was our first time here. We ordered a chicken burger and chicken fingers. Both medium spice. We like spicy food but we didn't want it to take over the flavor. The chicken fingers were HUGE! And right out of the fryer so their temperature was hot! They were still steaming after we bit in. We received 5 of them on a piece of white bread. Maybe the bread helps with the spice afterward. It was a neat addition to soak up the grease. Idk? They were tender and delicious though! Lots of actual chicken. We really really liked them. This places knows how to batter and fry some chicken. The medium spice made our noses run but still want to eat more. The chicken sandwich with coleslaw and their signature sauce was phenomenal. The grease from the chicken perfectly dampens the bun. And I added a piece of American cheese that was so oooey gooey melty on top that it really did create that cheese pull after 1 bite!! The piece of chicken was ginormous and way wayyyy bigger than the bun. Overall it was an incredible fried chicken sandwich. The kewpie like sauce, the medium spice seasoning, the breading crumbles on the chicken, the crisp vinegary pickles, and the crunchy coleslaw was a perfect pairing! Great crunch vs soft food ratio to make an ultimate bite. I will definitely eat here again and get that same Sammy. But beware the cans of soda are $3.50 each (maybe because of the sugar tax). But I think that's way too much for 12oz of soda. So I'll bring my own drink next time. BYOD. read more

Came here because I saw a food reviewer posting about this place. Chicken sandwiches --3/5 really lacking flavor and was soggy Wings-- (wing zing flavor) 5/5 juicy and delicious Milk tea-- came really warm, watered down, I actually told them it was not good and if I could switch it out, he asked what I would like instead and I asked for a Thai tea... and it was still really bad and watery. I noticed they used powder so it's not fresh brewed here. And because the drink was so warm, the ice melted within 1 minute... even the new Thai tea drink they made :( Overall I would come back for wings if I was in the area but I wouldn't come out my way, other than that the chicken sandwich is just a regular chicken sandwich, nothing notable and lacking in flavor, I tried different levels of heat as well and it still tasted the same. read more

Ambiance: feels like a cafeteria hall... but I'm here for the food! It's nice big and open so you might appreciate that. Service: standard. Some people may not speak English but they have English speaking staff on staff. Really a non issue Food: alright, this place brings the heat to their chicken sandwiches!!! I felt like the flavor was there but my partner felt famous Dave fried chicken sandwiches had more flavor. The chicken they house are breast. So it's a lean piece of meat but surprisingly juicy for chicken breast. My only harp is the chicken batter needs more of a crunch. The seasoning on the waffle fries were perfect but needed to be fried longer as it was a tad on the soft size. read more

I was pretty excited to try this place. It was easy to spot from the street and pretty easy parking around. It was pretty poppin when I went so I saw that as a good sign. Upon entering it was a bit impersonal to be greeted by two machines...for two different foods. I knew I wanted chicken so no big deal. I was really excited at all the options and got the nuggets with rice and fries in addition. The nuggets had ample sauce but unfortunately I thought the chicken quality missed the mark. Just rubbery and not good. It was a shame because it looked so good and they give you big portions. The fries cost too much but the size was huge, they were a bit greasy too which you expect from fries but something about them wasn't the best. Overall a bit of a miss for me but I would go back to try something else. I also noticed after I ordered that there were combo options for lunch to save money so be sure to look things over. read more

Nine times out of 10, the service is great and so is the food. But tonight not so much. I ordered the loaded mac and cheese, with extra sauce and extra cheese. What they ended up putting in the box, was the mac and cheese and chicken, and a tiny container of cold shredded cheese, and two half filled containers of sauce. You would think if I'm ordering extra sauce and extra cheese you would put that on the dish that I'm ordering it extra of. Why would I need cold cheese? And I ordered extra sauce, and they just gave me two tiny containers, both which weren't even full. I have no idea what was going on with them at the time, but I can't even taste the sauce in my dish, there's not enough. I think I've had more sauce on this dish without ordering extra sauce, and with the extra sauce it's not enough. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Chicken sando - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sandwich combination ~$23 including extra pickles and tip (they gave me 3 extra pickle slices for $.50). I expect an excellent chicken sandwich at that price point. My main feedback in the bun and chicken were dry. The portion was good and came hot and well seasoned. A dry bun will easily ruin any sandwich. Spice levels are very low, don't be afraid of the higher levels - they issue a heat warning (and waiver at the highest level) - which is I think a gimmick. Waffle fries were small lukewarm and uninspiring - think gas station fries. I had to pay for sauce ($0.65) where I should've received at least one free sauce. Far too much hype, 'cool' signage, Nashville references, and price for that caliber of chicken sandwich/fries. I'll try again in a couple weeks and edit my review if the experience is different. Cheers! read more

It has been years since I was in Seattle and find my self hungry for chicken. That can have its challenges. Fast food can be a let down especially in todays work environment. I donot have to give you a history lesson on when times were better, like when Kentucky fried chicken actually tasted great. Enough of that ! we could go on and on about this or that. first of all this place does wings justice, great sandwich combos like waffles and wings. I regret that at the time I was not looking to review so I did not think to ask for the names of those lovely people offering suggestions and making the mouth watering deliciousness that was about to send me craving for more soon after it was devoured. I chose take out, dine in available I estimate somehwere above thirty. parking is a challenge if during the lunch hour, but should be ok during the late pm. The surroundings inside are bright, colorful and cheerful. I am already looking forward to the next visit. read more
