First I need to start off with I love Hangry Joes! Coming from TN, where there's Nashville hot chicken, this is the closest thing I can eat that reminds me of home! This time around I got a mild chicken sandwich to avoid spicy food for that week. But I will always stick with the medium spice level because it's not too spicy for me! It has the perfect amount of kick without it being overwhelming. I love the coleslaw and sauce that goes into it. Very savory! Also, I got the loaded fries which was delicious with cheese, chicken, and fries! Very nice service and lots of seating available. Also there's a kiosk available if you don't feel like ordering in person! read more

Loved visiting this location in Bethesda, absolutely thrilled there's one in Columbia now. It's expensive but the flavor is worth it. The Koran styled fried chicken has a light and crispy skin, excellent seasoning as they season it again once it's cooked. The cider slaw is perfect to cut the heat. I always order a side of it with tenders. The honey butter waffle fries are basically dessert- so delicious, nice and crispy, and sweet. read more

Did you know a certain queen keeps hot sauce in her purse?! She'd legit love the hot hot chicken sandwich #hotsauce #spicefood I've finally found a spicy chicken sandwich that packs a spicy punch. Here's a little back story, I've purchased hot spice chips, other chicken sandwiches with waivers and other spicy fake item -- they weren't worth the spice hype. I cook with Thai chilies and jalapeño, so I'm confident on being able to handle the heat. Where'd I find this mythical spicy chicken sandwich?! It was at @hangryjoeschicken and the choices for extreme spice were Hot and Angry Hot. It was my first time, so I decide to go with Hot. It was GOOD, cooked well, juicy and not dry. And it was deliciously spicy. I can't wait to go back and try the next level up of spicy. Travel often, eat well and live deliciously. read more

I loved, loved, loved this location! Handy Joe's Hot Chicken in Silver Spring is the best! Best customer service I have ever experienced in my entire life. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly hello, how are you and a great big smile. Employee who I believe was the owner, was so attentive and helpful with the menu. Even with the other folks who came in, she took the time to show them the menu and point out different options. Customer was having a hard time with the card reader and she assisted him ethically. She was such a gem! She brought my food to me, that was really kind of her to do. My food was amazing, hot, and delicious. The coleslaw goes perfectly with the sandwich. I ordered Tostitos on the side and received a generous portion. I've read others reviews, please be mindful that the spice level, "No Heat" clearly states "may still be a little spicy," therefore medium will be spicy. If your spicy level is low, don't order it. The location was clean and well organized with all the supplies needed. Great atmosphere. Great leadership. I will be back to try their bubble tea! Plenty of free parking. read more

Finally, I tried this place and was disappointed. Placed an order online for the chicken sandwich combo. The order was ready when I arrived. The service was good. I was greeted right away. Very nice employee. Got the sandwich, spice level: hot. It was actually hot, so if you can't handle spicy, don't do it. They have a disclaimer: no refunds! They're serious. The sandwich itself had no flavor at all. Very bland. The piece of meat was too big and hard to eat. The waffle fries were just ok. I wanted to give them a try. I don't think I'll be back! read more

We came all the way from FL to visit DC and was told that this place has the best fried chicken! This was truly a great experience eating here. The bathroom was clean and the staff member was very welcoming. He gave us a whole run down of the menu. The spice level is very hot so be careful if you're not a fan of spicy. They have a plain option which was still very tasty! I will recommend this place to all my family and friends that want to travel to DC. read more

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken - Tenders, Wings and Chicken bites. Extra hot for me and plain no spicy for the love of my life! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

[3.5 STARS] My friend recommended this place since we were in Wheaton and she had tried the chain in Centerville, so we decided to give it a chance. First thing to note, it's in a VERY crowded parking lot, so watch out for pretty aggressive cars coming in and out. The menu was pretty straightforward, nothing too crazy. Since it is known for the "chicken sando", everyone in my party got that ($10.95 as is, $15.95 with waffle fries and a drink). Since I had a smaller appetite, I opted for the 6 piece chicken wings with medium spice which was new to the menu ($6.95). It came with a side of two pickles, spicy mayo sauce, and "coleslaw" which tasted like cabbage with a hint of sugar and vinegar. What's noteworthy is that the size of the chicken in the chicken sando is double the size of the bun, so it's sticking out the taste itself was very comparable to Popeyes, so it was nothing too too special minus the size of the chicken. My disappointment was that I was hoping my wings would be spicier. My friend said medium spice in the Centreville location was SUPER hot, and I got absolutely no kick in my wings. Oh well. The waffle fries were okay, but the taste got old towards the end. The "spicy" mayo sauce felt like it was missing something. PS the bathroom situation was okay. Clean-ish, but everything looked like it was breaking down or falling apart. The mirror had black splotches, the soap dispenser was broken as was two of their toilet paper holders... I was surprised that their hand dryer was decent. Overall, it's not a bad place to try if you're in the Wheaton area, but given the parking and flavor circumstances today, I probably won't go back. read more

I tried Hangry Joe's for the first time. A few takeaways, the pictures on their menu are misleading, as they show whole wings, but you only get wingettes 9 flats and drums). I called first to confirm, but the lady who answered the phone didn't know the difference between a whole wing and wingette, so I had to call another location to get a real answer. Secondly, the wings are huge. I got full from the 6 piece, (naked - spicy soy garlic) wings alone, and I can eat. There was nothing special about the wings other than being huge and crispy. The soy garlic sauce was good, but not authentic Korean and I felt the price point was kind of high at $9.95 for 6 wingettes. Based on the price and what you get, I probably wouldn't go back unless they have a deal. read more

Never had Nashville hot chicken but it was so good! Definitely pricey for a chicken sandwich but worth it. It was crispy yet juicy, flavorful, and filling. I ordered the medium and didn't think it was spicy at all. Since you had to sign a waiver for the spiciest one i thought two steps down would be spicy enough but it was not. I recommend getting the slaw on the side since i could see it was veryy drippy and messy to eat. Came with a friend who tried their Travilah location and said here was much better. Space was kind of small though. read more

I thought I knew what hot was but I was wrong. Their Chicken Sando is on fire. Literally. I got the hot... and I couldn't handle the heat. After drinking so much water, this sandwich essentially became two meals cause I had to save it for later. Now this made me wonder for a moment if I am a masochist cause I'm curious on their angry hot. That aside, my 7yo son had the mild and he found it too hot. I noticed they did have a no heat option but I thought mild and no heat was synonymous... but I was wrong. Also I considered giving him a bite of my hot but thought that would be mean and borderline childabuse. So I offered it to my 4yo daughter which she politely declined after telling her mom. I'm now sleeping on the couch eating the rest of my fire bird sandwich wondering about my life choices. read more

Your pretty average chicken sandwich spot, I would put roaming roosters above this. The piece of chicken in the sandwich was long which i appreciated. Their store sauce made the sandwich slightly better but overall 6.4/10... Not terrible but probably would explore other chicken sandwich spots before returning to this one. Cannot advocate on the fries as I did not order them but they do have waffle fries which could have potential. Love yours, ExquisiteTasteBuds read more

Got the spicy level "Hot" chicken sandwich carry out about 5-7 minutes to receive after placing order. It was definitively hot, but I crushed it without milk. My heat tolerance is higher than average. After reading these reviews, thought it was gonna be hotter. The owner @ the register seemed nice & well intentioned, but I wish a little less proactively helpful. Communicating in English was a challenge. She appeared to be fluent in Español. I'll be back! Next time I'm also getting Okra. And depending on my mood, I'll do angry hot. "Hot" was a good temperature so you're not hating yourself for 30 minutes. But I like to live. read more

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches in the DMV! Great value for the price - the picture doesn't do it justice but the piece of chicken is seriously huge, and perfectly juicy and well-seasoned too. There does seem to be a pretty big gulf between the medium and the hot. If you want your chicken actually spicy I would go for the hot as the medium tasted much more mild to me. I would also probably ask for extra sauce on my sandwich next time - I thought the slaw would have mayo but it seemed more just like a pickled cabbage mix, which was still really good but I think a bit more sauce would have helped. Definitely will be back though! read more

Amazing chicken and just to warn you it is extra spicy. We got the medium and hot chicken sandos and the medium is hot and the hot is extra hot. We had the entire medium and half of the hot one. We also got mild and medium chicken tenders as well as the hot and extra hot chicken bites and my wife had a hot one and it was quite hot and well save the extra hot and rest of food for tomorrow for dinner. We got UberEats BOGO deals which made the food very cheap. So glad we tried Hangry Joes! read more

Clean place, friendly service. I ordered a Hot Chicken Sando combo with waffle fries. The waffle fries were very good as was their sauce that accompanied them. Onto the chicken sandwich, I consider myself a chicken sandwich expert so I am probably a little too critical. The sandwich was delivered to the table, very hot and fresh. When I received it I had high hopes as it was gorgeous! The chicken was pounded very flat, I assume to make it look bigger than it actually was. The seasoning/breading was relatively tasteless. Being that the chicken was very thin, the breading and seasoning needs more flavor as the chicken flavor wasn't there. The slaw was bland as well. I prefer my fried chicken to be thicker, which keeps the juiciness. The heat level was appropriate. Overall, good and I will try it again in the future. read more

The food and service was great I really appreciated how fast they made the food. I will def be back! read more

Delicious. One word can sometimes aptly summarize an experience. I went to Hangry Joe's and ordered the combo with medium heat. What I got back surpassed my expectations. It was a generous serving. The chicken stuck out from my very soft bun. The medium heat provided just the jolt that I like: hot enough to trigger my sinuses but tasty enough I kept wanting more. I am not a slaw fan, but this slaw was the right cool antidote to the heat the sauce packed. I also enjoyed that the pickles on the sandwich were thick cut. The waffles fries came piping hot. The only thing better than the food? The service. The woman at the counter was very nice. I will be back. And others should make this a stop too. read more

Don't sleep on this unassuming hole in the wall chicken joint - it serves a Nashville inspired chicken sandwich that absolutely slaps. Super flavorful, the chicken was juicy with the right amount of spice which complemented the pickles and slaw. Also their sauce is magical, no idea what's in it but I had to ask for seconds to dip my fries in. The Korean style chicken was good, they served a large portion on rice but it was a tad soggy.

The chicken sandwich was massive and packed with flavor. It was lightly battered, nice and crispy. The slaw was on the sweeter side but I thought it really balanced out the fried chicken. My only suggestion would be to cut the pickles thinner as it was too huge that it didn't really compliment the sandwich. Also, I don't know how often I would pay $10+ for a chicken sandwich. read more

Excellent chicken sandwich. Massive piece of chicken. Slaw was good. I got the one under the hottest one you need a waiver for and it was a perfect heat for me; made me sweat a little bit, lots of flavor. Came out quickly. Waffle fries were crispy and sauce was delicious. Only thing keeping it from five stars was the bun. A bit too much bun and a bit too dry. Otherwise very good. Looking forward to coming back and signing the heat waiver. read more

Oh my gosh! Best hot chicken sandwich ever! It's a whole giant chicken breast and the seasonings are amazing. When I am feeling spicy I eat it hot, when I need to keep it easy I eat it medium. I love SPICY food! I eat my drunken noodles super spicy, but Hangry Joe's heat level is Hot! I recently went to Jolibee to have their sandwich. It's nothing compared to Hangry Joe's. You should definitely give this place a shot. EVEN if you don't like spicy, you will love their mild sandwich. It's delish. Their fries are great too! Now I've got to try their special drinks! read more

Um, YUM. This place does fried chicken right. The inside was small but I think their aim is to be more carry-out friendly. Nonetheless, the food is soooo good.

I thoughtfully sat and pondered whether I would bother to post this unflattering review. But times are touch in some quarters and Idon't want people wasting their money based on all the other rave reviews. Korean nuggies were soggy as can be. I get delivery quite a lot from Bonchon and somehow their wings and tenders arrive crispy. Chicken sandwich was huge....a huge disappointment. Which made ME hangry (whomp, whomp) because it was so overcooked that I couldn't do anything but chew on it was shoe leather. My 9.19 brown sugar milk tea didn't have ANY milk it and I requested 50 percent sweet. But it was a sugar bomb. Totally let down after reading all the rave reviews. A usual others don't seem to have a selective and demanding palate in this area. Yikes. read more

Nashville spices has just landed in Wheaton Maryland. This chicken spot is as advertised. Their 'mild' fried chicken sandwich mixed with coleslaw delivers a wallop of flavors that punches through your flavor pallet. First, one can't deny the satisfying aesthetic feature of a protruding chicken breast smothered in their sauce. Toss in some well seasoned waffle fries and you have yourself one substantial massive meal. The chicken sandwich, a top ten rating with the buns soft and flaky. The chicken breast, tender and juicy while crispy on the outside. Mix that with some coleslaw, a sweet and sour flavor all meshed together. Amazing! read more

A very tasty chicken sandwich. I had their the most popular one. The customer service was excellent!

Literally one of my favorite local places to get chicken. There are plenty of Spanish places offering Spanish style chicken in Wheaton, but it's refreshing to find a local chicken spot with genuinely amazing chicken here with a different style. You can't go wrong when you come here and try the chicken. read more
