First time visiting. As soon as I walked in, there was a noticeable smell of heating oil, which wasn’t the best first impression.
The digital menu setup is a bit awkward — it cycles between screens, making it hard to take everything in, and there wasn’t a static menu available to look through at my own pace.
The restaurant was very quiet and I appeared to be the first customer of the day.
I ordered the chicken burger (sando) and upgraded to the meal deal for $4. Visually, it looked fantastic and the flavours were very good. My only minor critique is that the chicken was slightly overcooked, but presentation-wise it was spot on — easily 5/5.
One piece of advice for the restaurant: the glass doors and windows really need attention. They’re the first thing customers see, and while the tables and seating were fine, the glass lets the overall impression down.

Tried Hangry Joe’s and it absolutely delivered. The chicken was hot, crispy, and well-seasoned without being greasy. Heat levels are legit, so if you like spice, you’ll be happy. Portions were solid, everything came out fresh, and the flavors were on point.
Service was quick and friendly, and the place had a good vibe, casual, no nonsense, just good food done right. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving hot chicken.
Highly recommend.

Visited the Hangry Joe’s Naperville location with a group of 10. The food itself was just okay nothing memorable. The wings were under-seasoned, so I politely asked for some sauce on the side. The owner reacted like I’d made an unreasonable demand and then charged an extra $1 for it, which felt unnecessary and unfair. We could’ve easily sent the wings back instead.
Things didn’t improve from there. When we asked for plates, I said we needed six and got a strange, uncomfortable look, as if that was somehow excessive.
The restroom was poorly maintained no tissue paper, the sink was clogged, and on a snowy day there was no wet floor sign. My kids nearly slipped, which is unacceptable.
Overall, average food, but the attitude made the experience unpleasant. Customer service matters, and here it was the biggest letdown.

First of all, the place was full of smoke due to a lack of proper ventilation. I ate at the Naperville location and the wings were very lightly seasoned. While ordering, I clearly asked the lady to keep them wet with extra sauce. When I informed the guy at the register that the wings were not seasoned properly, he just said sorry and still charged me for extra sauce. I don’t mind paying, but it’s frustrating when the job wasn’t done correctly in the first place. This kind of service will only bring a business down. I have the bill if needed.

I stopped here with my son on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty. We ordered the tenders and they were OK but took a really long time to come out. A little too tough for my liking but not terrible. My son liked them more than I did. The restaurant and bathrooms could have been cleaner.
