Big Dean's Hot Chicken

I've visited Big Dean's in State College a few times, and every single time, the team behind the counter has consistently had a bad attitude and responded very rudely when simply asking a question about the menu.

Best chicken around! It was nice to sit and watch the traffic go by. Could use a good cleaning to get rid of the grease on the floors but nice place to hang

It’s Friday, meaning they’re supposed to close at 10pm as per Google, their website and the door. My husband goes to get us food at 8:50 and the lady tells him that they’re closing in 9 minutes and can’t make food. Ok, if he came in at 9:50 very understandable….but no where does it say they close at 9 on a Friday!! I’m just pregnant and upset because food doesn’t usually sound good but I was really looking forward to eating there. I’ll prob delete this but I’m just pregnant, hungry and now very disappointed. Nothing wrong with the food though

Customer service was great; staff was friendly and courteous!

The Hot Chicken (Inferno) was DEFINITELY hot and I loved it!

10 outta 10! Would recommend! I had a great time!

This was our first visit, and we will definitely return! We were not greeted upon arrival, so we opted to order from self-serve kiosks. We had to get the lone employee's attention to request cups for fountain drinks. The location was clean and well-maintained, but the music was uncomfortably loud. The food was served very hot and fresh, and our order was mostly accurate (they switched my plain fries with my husband's cheese fries). The chicken was markedly moist and easily identifiable as real meat. The breading was light and flavorful on the tenders I ordered, and it was not excessively greasy. The bbq sauce served with the tenders was very good. My husband had a buffalo chicken sandwich that was evenly sauced and tasty. Overall, this was an enjoyable visit, and we look forward to trying additional menu items.

Staff was super friendly and the place was clean, however I got food poisoning from the chicken being under cooked. If they could learn how to cook chicken properly it'd be a 5 stars

amazing

This place is the best. Great prices, great food, and right on college ave!

I ordered so really didn't visit. Chicken was on point tho

Great fried chicken and chill vibe for a college city. No frills and no complaints.

Great place for a delicious chicken sandwich.

I had the Nashville hot and it was great, not too spicy! The chicken was tender and moist. The ranch was good too.
