My visit here was the plot of a sitcom. The wife and I are in 2 separate cars and she says "I'll go anywhere, I'll follow you." I check a couple of places and plug in the directions for Wings Over Happy Valley. We get to the parking and she says, "I don't want wings!" Typical husband/wife interaction. Well we're pressed for time so we go in, place our order and sit down to wait. Now I've heard of places with a credit card minimum, places that don't take Amex, etc but never (since Covid lockdown was over) have I been to a place that doesn't take cash. Normally I'm a big fan of wings but I have a long drive ahead of me so I opt for boneless that I can eat with a fork. When the food comes out, I take my first bite and realize this place is something special. The most tender, moist and juicy chicken tenders I have EVER had. EVER! I am so sad I live 4 hours away! read more

Wingstop's less cool cousin. They try to adopt a similar model of ordering and pricing, but the food leaves much to be desired. The fries are, admittedly, very good and have a great crunch- kind of like if Raising Cane's fries were actually good. I got the chicken tenders, and they were okay. The chicken itself was tasty and juicy and seems high quality, and the medium sauce I got tasted like a good buffalo sauce, but the part that killed it for me was the breading. It was a thin, almost nonexistent layer and was extremely soggy (and I ate my order as soon as I received it), making the breading fall off and feel like I was eating a naked tender. I'm sure somebody loves that, but I need that crunch, and more than such a thin layer. The customer service was nothing special, as it IS a college town. The food wasn't bad, but nothing special and nothing worth eating twice. read more

Wings Over Happy Valley hits the mark. Good chicken, flavorful sauces, and that fresh bread always seals the deal. Quick service and consistent quality make it a go-to spot when you're craving wings done right. read more

I had my first (and probably last) experience at Wings Over State College today. I placed my order at 5 PM, and when I showed up at 8 PM to pick it up, I was told it would still be another 45 minutes before my food was ready. By that point, the line was out the door, and I noticed several people in the kitchen standing around not doing much, which made the delay even more frustrating. The woman at the register ultimately convinced me to just request a refund, which I agreed to since I wasn't willing to wait any longer. But instead of providing any official receipt or confirmation, she simply wrote my name on a piece of paper and told me I "should" see the refund by the end of the week. That left me feeling uneasy--no proof, no assurance, just "trust us." I moved into my apartment this semester and was excited to use the coupon they gave out to try Wings Over for the first time. I had high hopes, but instead I left extremely disappointed in the customer service and overall management of the situation. Unfortunately, this first impression was so poor that it's likely the last time I'll order from here. read more

Wings over chicken fingers slap as always although i swear the fingers used to be called "boneless chicken wings." Garlic Parm was delicious (first time). Hot Honey and Cruising Altitude missed the mark. Hot Honey didn't have enough kick. Cruising Altitude didn't have enough sauce and i'd barely call it hot. The lemon pepper fries were delicious and fried just right. The chicken slapped as it always does but the flavors didn't bring back the nostalgia i was hoping for. The black styrofoam containers with everything sloshed together are no more - depending who you ask that could be a plus or a minus. What happened to Wimpy Buffalo flavor? What happened to the Hangar 1 and 2? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The chocolate chip cookie mhmmmm good. Ordered 40 minutes before pick up (advertised 30 min wait), then still ended up waiting another 30 mins. Food was great. A lot has changed from what was once a multiple times a weekend restaurant. Chicken's still great. read more

Thanks for the reply infering I couldn't read the menu. Wings by the piece are not on there. Have you even looked at the menu or do you need me to read it to you. read more

I had a large order (200 wings, 50 tenders) for a Ohio State watch party. The young woman and guy working there did one helluva job. I'm not sure if there were others there with them but they were very busy and my wings came out perfect. They were crispy, well cooked, well coated with sauce, and just tasted great for a large order. Thank you. read more

The service was great and the food is always amazing. I was lucky that there wasn't a line, and my order was ready and waiting. No complaints! read more

The person at the counter greeted me with a smile and asked how they could help me. She had my order ready to go and asked if I needed anything else. The one thing that could be improved on is labeling your order. We ordered 6 different flavors for our wings so we had to go through all of it to figure out who got what box of wings. read more

I ordered the wrap package meal. the chicken was perfectly coated in sauce . perfect amount of lettuce and tomato. along with the wrap I ordered the lemon pepper fries. perfect amount of seasoning. the fries were cooked to perfection. the guest service here is amazing. I highly recommend coming here for amazing food read more

It's on me this time. I ordered ahead and asked for extra sauce, I got not much sauce. I asked to pay cash, and they do not accept cash. the wings were ok, thus not great. I can use their app, which I dont have a phone for (that is to say, they have not provided a phone to download their software onto). I can't eat apologies and I can't protect myself online with apologies, so I need to wait for Monte Carlo to open up, or to find yet another place. The quality of wings tonight was very comparable to frozen wings in the air fryer with extra sauce. At 3x the price and more hassle. remind me not to visit this place again. If you don't care about privacy and like dry wings, this is good value, however. read more

Wings Over was a favorite in my apartment! I was so appreciative of their pretty late hours as someone who always worked closing shift at a restaurant. When my out of town friends would come this is something they'd always request. Can't beat the wing combo with fries and a drink. My favorite flavors are lemon pepper and the honey bbq, and I get the waffle fries with lemon pepper seasoning as well. If you order, stick to wings. Sandwiches were meh. read more

Great Staff. Tenders Juicy and Good. Last time I came to this place it was not a good experience. Today won me over

The wings have a lot of fat on them and they don't cook them to enough to burn any of the fat off. I had their hot sauce, and I had their version with garlic in it, and they were both so rich and not in a good way. I felt kind of gross after two wings. I also got tater cots, and they definitely had been sitting around for quite a while. Good location, nice big parking lot, I will probably give them another try but maybe try for a sauce that isn't so salty or so rich. read more

Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars in because the air condition was broke and I had to personally call them to order because there was no one in the store after I stood at the counter for 5 min. Wings weren't bad I'd probably stop again read more

I think that I have finally found my go to wing spot in State College! When I saw the extensive menu and wide variety of spices, I had to make sure I was on my best behavior, because I would have easily ordered everything if I didn't! I ended up ordering a fried chicken wrap with hot garlic sauce and a side of French fries. The chicken wrap was amazing!!! The sauce was the perfect mix of garlic and buffalo, and the fries were perfectly fried and seasoned, with a nice crisp. I ordered honey bbq sauce on the side and it was finger licking good!!! If I wasn't with my friends, I would have probably started drinking it down like a track runner downing gatorade after a match. The only thing that is keeping me from giving this place five stars is their customer service, they really need to tighten up on that. The guy at the register seemed like he didn't want to be there, and they gave me waffle fries when I had instead actually ordered regular fries. With a more welcoming and engaging staff, and actually listening to what people order& you guys should be good to go! read more

Consistent delicious chicken. One of the few places I will order delivery from and it's piping hot and quick! I must admit, I usually only order their boneless wings, onion rings or waffle fries. The option of multiple sauces is perfect for when I want variety or share. Downfall, they changed their packaging. It's more flimsy and doesn't hold up to the sauces. I'm unable to save leftovers in the box and have to put them in something else as they leak and start to fall apart since it's a box and no longer styrofoam. I wish they would do a different container. read more

Couldn't tell me when my order would be ready..."maybe, another hour or so." They offered free delivery to some and had the nerve to tell me I'd be charged for delivery. This place is a mess. Avoid it on anything near a game day. The staff is close to incompetent. read more

I ordered a Puddle Jumper and the Hooked Deal App had an offer that included free side with any order over $5 (screenshot included). I asked the cashier about the deal and he told me that Hooked deals were valid till 7:00 PM. After mentioning that the Hooked app still had the deal, the cashier was very understand and checked with his boss and his boss said that they would not accept the deal since it's past 7 PM. It was weird because they still had an offer running on a partner App (Hooked). I give them one star not because they did not accept the deal but because of their customer service and business professionalism. I am a regular at Wings Over Happy Valley and they have great food, but their customer service was disappointing today. read more

When you're in a pinch for good food at night, Wings Over is the place to go. I really like their buffalo wings and their fries. I was surprised at how fast they were able to make my order. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Cashier that took my order was rude from the start and and only got worse as the conversation went on. I've never been to this chain and was unfamiliar with the menu, that seemed to upset him. Will never return either! Should fire that guy, he doesn't enjoy his job and it's clear. read more

Stopped here after visiting my granddaughter at school. she recommended it because she knows grandpa likes good wings. We enjoyed our 6 wing meals with the waffle fries. Thw wings were crispy like we like them and quite tasty. The waffle fries were also delicious. read more

Wings Over is a great food option when you want something to be delivered fast. They are by far the fastest delivery system via OrderUp. They have a ton of options too, even though I tend to stick with the same order. The sauces are great and they give you very big wings for an average price. I would recommend the Honey BBQ and Sweet Chilli wings with an order of fries... you cannot go wrong! read more

Wings Over Happy Valley - Sweet Chilli and Honey BBQ Boneless Wings... soooooo good!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Our favorite wings in State College were Quaker Stake & Lube. We thought they were the best in town. But since they are no longer in State College, we were trying to find a good replacement. We've been trying for a while and had not tried Wings Over Happy Valley yet. Well, we are happy to say, we are very pleased with our experience with Wings Over Happy Valley. We ordered 50 Buffalo Style and got a mix of hotness. We ordered 10 of the 2's (Cruisin Altitude), 20 of the 3's (Red Alert) and 20 of the 4's (Jet Fuel). We really wanted something that had a kick. Nothing too wimpy. We were very happy that they were hot. Yes, we were pleasantly surprised. They were indeed hot! Like a previous Yelper wrote: "The only place in State College where 'hot' flavoring for wings is actually 'hot' not tepid." Great choice of words! We totally agree. We will most definitely order again! read more

level 5 spicyness is dripping with spice but still good but also makes your fingers feel weird like they are embracing the dripping sauce Garlic chicken skin is texture like to grandma's baggy skin but slightly stretched out read more

Food took almost 2 hours to get delivered. Food was cold and one of the meals ordered was incorrect. I asked for all flats and said I would pay an extra fee as I do no eat drums. If they were unable to do all flats they should have communicated that to me so I could cancel that order. Horrible service. read more

Undercooked soggy wings on a new-home game weekend. GROSS! One was actually near raw.

Finally found my new wings place in State College! YASSSSSSS. I got 25 traditional: 1/3 sweet chili (my fav), 1/3 cruisin altitude, and honey bbq! Cruisin was actually pretty hot! The wings were all A1. I didn't like that they mixed all the different flavored wings together. But yay for fast delivery! read more

Would order from here every weekend in college and any time I visited state college. Recently was in town over the summer with friends and we decided to order from here late night, unaware of a menu change. The employee taking my order was completely rude the entire time, unhelpful, and after I finally was able to place my order, she told me that the driver may or may not be able to deliver it because they were busy. It wasn't guaranteed. Abysmal customer service, and unfortunately I'll never order from here again, and would strongly suggest other options. read more

I decided to raise my score due to the responsiveness by management. I will assume my experience was a one off.

30 minutes before closing and they wouldn't even open the door for a to go order or answer the phone. Looked at me through the window and motioned that they were done for the night. Then why have hours posted until 1 am if you're not taking orders? Really f***** up. I've worked in hospitality. My manager would not have stood for that kind of behavior. Think again. read more

Ok LISTEN. I usually am a bone-in wings gal, but the boneless wings here are fabulous. I always get the cajun dry rub or the sweet chili sauce. Both are amazing. That's my usual order... however, today, for my birthday (woo hoo!) I decided to order something a little extra for lunch. I ordered the ribs + wings combo. It came with waffle fries too, which I added 7 pepper seasoning to. Everything was so good - but the shining star was the ribs!! I was seriously blown away, they were the best ribs I've had in a really long time. (And from DELIVERY you say?!) Yes. I do. They were literally falling off the bone and the ends have crispy blackened bits. I may have to get them every time, trust me ya'll gotta try them. I wish I took a pic but instead I completely devoured them. read more

Was GREAT until today. We have gotten ribs plenty of times from this place. But today was my anniversary with my boyfriend and they gave us BURNT ribs. I don't understand how you can burn ribs, cover/hide it with sauce, and still charge the same amount. There were parts of it so burnt it was inedible. I Will not be returning. There are plenty of places to get ribs in State College, PA. If you want consistently good ribs, I would not recommend it here. (picked up at 9/1/2020, at 8:05 PM) read more

I read the reviews before I ordered for delivery and my experience was similar to many. Several of the extra items I ordered and paid extra for were not delivered (celery, blue cheese). Based on other reviews this was not shocking. Double checking an order apparently is not something they do here. The sweet chili boneless wings (really chicken fingers) are really good. The traditional buffalo wings were not - small and soggy despite not being over-sauced. Since I was craving buffalo wings, I was disappointed with the quality. read more

In 1725, our founding father George Washington once said, "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." Well, he might as well said like chicken to the slaughter because chicken wings are by far the greatest invention of America since gunpowder. Which the Chinese invented. Wings Over Happy Valley is greatness in a chicken wing. It's not Wings Over Ithaca and it's definitely not Wing's over Columbus, OH. It's Wings Over Happy Valley, the happiest of valleys in all of PA. Originally, this review was going to be on the negative side, as there was a long strand of hair found in the midst of my honey mustard chicken wing. However, after a thorough DNA analysis of the hair strand, my colleagues and I concluded that is in fact a piece of hair that belonged to a sloppy bimbo named Chrysel. Thank goodness we conducted this test before reviewing Wings Over Happy Valley. Anyway, let's get into the review. Out of all the wings in State College, Wings Over is the best. Though they aren't the best wings I've eaten, in middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania, it stands tall as State College's best. The luscious taste of the honey barbecue wings, the tongue-thrilling taste of the afterburner, and the enriching taste of Wings Over bleu cheese. It seriously takes you on a journey through ecstasy and euphoria that not even a tab of LSD can induce. The speed of the delivery is also very en pointe. Or on point. I'm not actually quite sure on how to use that phrase. As residence of downtown State College, Wings Over is certainly too far to trek. However, the agile performance of the Wings Over delivery boys (shout out to my boy Will Levine), the good people of College Township will never go hungry. It's as if Wings Over is the dark knight of PSU. I've never had food delivered to my doorstep as fast as Wings Over. However, I'm quite disappointed that certain delivery boys do not come to the actual doorstep of my apartment. This calls for a loss of half a star. The other loss of a half star is due to the vast choices of flavors that are very similar to one another. Often times, it is baffling to keep track of flavors, and many times, I am unsure of what I want to order. Honey mustard vs. honey barbeque vs. barbeque. Ain't nobody got time for that. I wish that we could have free samples of these wings before actually ordering to make our experience at Wings Over much more enjoyable. Closing statements: I love wings, I love State College, and I love Wings Over. As an experienced Yelper, you have my blessing as my favorite chicken wing hotspot in town, next to Canyon Wings. and Zen wings. Thank you. read more

Oh my goodness, now THESE people got wings! I've never been to any locations of Wings Over so I can't really comment on the chain as a whole. I mentioned this place on a thread about the hottest things I've eaten. One day while studying, my friend and I decided to order some DC-10's, some with honey barbecue and some with afterburner sauce. Let's just say that the barbecue ones finished relatively faster than those afterburners. My saving grace for those afterburners was only the bleu cheese and ranch. Jeebus, those were some really hot wings; I felt like I was breathing fire, which would have been wonderful if I wanted to burn my physiology book at the time. They were pretty good with delivery and everything was piping hot from what I remember. Pretty good service and provided a very fond memory :) read more

Huge assortment of flavors and sauces and fast delivery! I've ordered from Wings Over probably 50 times and my order is always correct and hot. I recommend the garlic parmesan waffle fries to everyone I know. The only State College fry that stays crispy and delicious. Fries from anywhere else arrive soggy. Wings Over is always there for you when you need something fried and flavorful. read more

Wings Over Happy Valley - Garlic Parm Waffle Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Great wings. Superb delivery service. Good selection of sauces. I love their waffle fries with cajun seasoning. Regular fries, meh. Ribs, atrocious. But wings, good. I especially recommend this if you're feeling like Adam Richman and want to set yourself or a friend a "spicy challenge" Man V Food style. The only place in State College where "hot" flavoring for wings is actually "hot" not tepid. A year or so back, a friend and I (both Indians) decided to order wings "afterburner" their hottest flavor. Being Indians, and having well-above-average tolerance for spice, I've always found the hottest wings in most places very normal. But the Afterburner is true to its name. It is REALLY spicy. Yet flavorful My friend and I were laughing and crying alternately as we finished the wings. Since then I have "challenged" a couple of other friends to an Afterburner challenge. All have been pleasantly surprised and blown away by the spiciness. I have tried the hottest wings at Quaker Steak and Lube (in Pittsburgh) and Buffalo Wild Wings (in DC) and these afterburners are certainly in the same league. So yeah, if you consider yourself a connoisseur of spicy-hotness, and have some friends who'd like to make a game of it, try eating 7 afterburners. Other sauces are good too. read more

People have been hyping this place up like no other. All I hear is "Dude, try Wings Over. It's so legit." Well, I finally decided to try this place out and it's kind of a mixed bag. First of all, this place does beat out Hooters hands down. Sure, it doesn't have the eye candy, but the wings are much better tasting. There are tons of flavors to choose from, from sweet to spicy, and some "sides" like onion rings and french fries. I actually thought that the onion rings were pretty damn decent. This place delivers pretty quickly, but you can also call/order online and pick it up. Ok, so why the 3 stars you may ask? Well, after eating these wings, I got a horrible stomach ache. One of those aches that makes you want to stab yourself in the leg. Not sure how clean these things are, being that all their locations are in college towns, so I'm not 100% surprised. These are the best wings in State College. Perhaps I'll gain the courage to try these out once more, as long as I don't get another case of the stomach aches. read more

I ordered wings online to pick up for the Super Bowl days in advance and when Sunday came around I got a text that the wings were ready. When I walked into Wings Over I was greeting with the friendliest faces asking for my name so they could fetch my order. It was a quick interaction but sensing service and food. read more
