The wings over Story — Bold Flavors Since 2010
Founded in State College, PA, Wings over has been serving bold, crispy, and unforgettable wings across the United States for over a decade. The wingsover journey started with a single recipe and an uncompromising passion for flavor.
Bold Flavor
Where Passion Meets Crispy Perfection
Wings over was born in 2010 from a simple belief: that wings done right could change your whole day. What started as a small, neighborhood spot in State College, Pennsylvania, quickly became a gathering place for those who crave bold sauces, perfectly crisped skin, and an atmosphere that feels like home.
Our founder, Marcus Cole, spent years perfecting the art of the wing — testing over 40 sauce recipes, sourcing the finest quality poultry, and refining frying techniques until every batch delivered that signature crunch. The wingsover philosophy was simple: no shortcuts, no compromise, no frozen product.
Today, Wings over serves thousands of guests each week, offering dine-in, takeout, and delivery across the United States. Our menu has grown, our team has expanded, and our locations have multiplied — but our core commitment to quality has never wavered.
Mission, Vision & Promise
Everything we do at Wings over is guided by three core principles that shape our food, our team, and our guest experience.
Our Mission

Our Promise

Wings over has completely ruined every other wing place for me. The sauce depth, the crispiness — nothing else comes close. Worth every mile of the drive to State College.
The team at Wings over is exceptional. You can tell every person cares about the food and the guest experience. It's rare to find that level of passion in a restaurant these days.
I've eaten wings all across the United States and wings over is in a league of its own. The Honey Gold Habanero sauce alone is worth flying in for. Absolutely phenomenal.
