The food scene for Greater Lansing has seen a lot of change this year. Although sadly, we've seen a dozen places close their doors, we've also seen over two dozen places open during that same time.

Not to mention, we have about a dozen new places still set to open this year.

Now, it seems we have another restaurant opening to add to the list.

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken & Wings is a fast-casual eatery that specializes in Nashville hot chicken multiple ways: sandwiches, wraps, fingers, wings, salads, chicken & waffles and more.

When and Where is Hangry Joe's Opening in East Lansing?

Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken & Wings already has signage up at its soon-to-be location: 551 East Grand River Avenue in East Lansing. It's taking over the former location of Poké Fresh.

Don't worry, Poké Fresh didn't close, it just moved. Poké Fresh is still in East Lansing, but it has simply moved down the alley into the former University Weiner location.
