This place is awesome and stuff... Ok so I've seen people's reviews comment about the tiny chicken wings...you know why right? They're not GMO chickens--in fact the girl told my friend and me that they're like free range or something, so yeah they're smaller legs/wings. Also, this place is pretty awesome overall. Tonight I tried the blue cheese dip, I've never been a fan at all of b-cheese anything...and it was AWESOME HOLY CRAP. I will not only order the blue cheese next time, but also some more sweet potato fries! Best ever. Love FOTM, go there, try the wings. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because my sauce tonight was way too vinegary.

YUM YUM YUM. This is a must stop if you're in the highlands. Lunch or dinner it's a great place. They have great wings with so many sauces to choose from there is a good option for everyone. We went for lunch the other day and they had an awesome lunch special, 6 wings, fries, and a drink for $9.00. Every other time I've been for dinner and it's probably $13 or so for the same thing so it was a great deal. I've only ever had wings here but I know people I've gone with have tried the sandwiches and other options and loved them. I also know they have great beer specials during the week. Just writing this makes me want some wings...

Awesome chicken wings! There were about 12 flavors and you are able to try them all out (with celery) before you order! I had the thai peanut and parm garlic wings. Quick, delicious, and decently priced. Fun atmosphere on the patio.

Really great wings! Easy, not too expensive and delicious. Seating can be a challenge - it has been packed every time I have been there but if you can grab a seat outside you have great food and great people watching.

Awesome wings and gluten free options! There are so many yummy sauces to choose from, good music, and hippy atmosphere. Beats Buffalo Wild Wings any day.

I am WAY overdue for an update on this review. FOTM is close to work for me, and once a week Jess and I go for wings after our morning workout. We alternate between here and one other joint. I shall now detail the pros and cons of FOTM. Pros: 1) AMAZING sauces! They have extremely original creations for all taste buds. Things like Jamaican jerk, lime cilantro, and spicy peanut will make for a great change from traditional buffalo, but the bourbon chipotle and raspberry habenero are my favorites. The el Jefe will melt your face off if you're into that sort of thing ( I am) so beware. And you can take home a 1/2 or full pint of any sauce you like, which we do. 2) Speaking of sauces, they do an original sauce of the month creation that's not on the regular menu. Really nice touch! 3) A rotating tap list makes for great variety every time we come. All craft beers from across the country, and many local choices in the bottle as well. 4) The staff is really friendly. They make it a point to remember us and our tastes and always lend a little personal touch when they greet us. I've heard through the grapevine that the owners are very good to their employees, and from the way everyone behaves here I'm willing to believe it. 5) Although I've never branched out, they offer other things like burgers and sandwiches. (There just may be tater tots too.) These always look amazing but dammit I'm not missing out on my wings! Cons: 1) The wings are pretty small. As Jess said, that just allows us to sample more sauces though. 2) It's pretty cramped inside. While the patio is better, if it isn't outdoor weather and they are busy you're going to find yourself on top of others. We love Fire on the Mountain, I'm sure we will be loyal customers for a very long time! Cheers!!

My new favorite wing place in Denver (not that I had a favorite wing place before)! The key to an affordable meal here is to go during happy hour 3-6pm and 9-11pm Monday-Friday. You can get such delicacies as tater tots for $3, 6 wings for $5 and $1 off drafts and specialty cocktails. Their wings are on the smaller side, but not freakishly small. I like the size since they tend to be crispier than their overly large counterparts. I like the spicy peanut sauce best (like everyone else) but I tried their parmesan garlic sauce last night and that was delicious. 8/10 men who are eating here/working here are rocking lumberjack beards, so if you're into that type of man candy, this place will tickle your fancy.

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! Seriously, I'm here at least twice a month eating ridiculous amounts of wings. Jeff and I have wings every Wednesday after a pretty intense gym session. We seek out this fine joint every other week. There are so very many reason I love this place. Let me count the ways! 1. They have 11 staple sauces. My staple faves are bourbon chipotle (so good we have purchased a mason jar of it to take home) and raspberry habenero. All are creative and delicious. I've tried all but the El Jeffe because if I'm honest with myself, there's no way my Yankee tastebuds could ever handle that level of hot, not even white girl wasted. 2. They have a monthly rotation flavor. I try every single one of them. In the 9 months I've been going, there's only been 1 I didn't like. 3. Beer selection is always fantastic. Someone spends some time keeping this fresh and refreshing. 4. Staff is awesome. Have never, ever had a problem. Always friendly. Always funny. Always laid back. 5. The music they play is always spot on. 6. They make a real effort to be a green business. That makes this little tree huggers heart happy. The only reason why they didn't get five stars is because their wings are a little on the small side. It would be great if they were bigger but I try to look on the bright side of things, smaller wings means I have to order more and get to have more sauces. Oh yeah buddy.

ZOMG!!!!!!! Ok now that I have gotten that out of my system, how about a review of this fine establishment? Where else can you get happy hour tator tots that are enough to feed four people for $3? My husband and I were really craving wings on our last date night so I did a quick Yelp search and found that FOTM was only a few minutes away. Score one for this girl! We had to park a little ways away which was fine. When we walked through the doors, the place was packed! I think we got the very last table there. (Haha, suckers who came in after us!) The cashier was nice enough to walk us through their sauces even though they were really busy. We settled on the hot, extra hot, thai peanut, and chipotle bourbon. They were even nice enough to put the sauce on the side just like we like it. I could drink the chipotle bourbon. It is that good! I have been dreaming about that sauce with the spice and smokiness from the chipotles with just a little sweetness from the bourbon. I will repeat my above sentiment; ZOMG!!! My second favorite was the extra hot. It wasn't just fire (which I love) but it was also flavor (which I love even more). I liked it 10x better than the hot which I thought was kind of funky. My husband horded the thai peanut all night he loved it so much. I hear that this place delivers, too! I plan on utilizing that very soon. Until then, I will just have to continue day dreaming.

I love this place. Food is solid: wings and unique sauces are delicious and the sandwiches are even better. People griping about size /cost of wings have a valid point, but consider that the chicken is Redbird free-range and hormone-free and you might not feel so bad anymore. This brings me to another big point-earner: they're very environmentally conscious with all their operations. To top it off, they have truly excellent craft beers on draft. Tip: go on Mondays for $2.50 drafts. Great music on the day we went! Outside patio is most welcome.

Always stellar service, top notch grub and no shortage of it on portion size, great selection of beer and liquor, and of course great music playing all the time. I love this neighborhood spot and I hope they're around for a long long time! Pro tip: The chicken tenders are ginormous as are the large tots. Bring your appetite! Pairs well with a bourbon and ginger. Elite pro tip: One large chili cheese tots is a great meal for three (or four, if you're gonna be women about it.) Or if you're solo, just try to shoot the moon. I've done it once. The group affair pairs well with fun and laughter and a couple light beers. The solo affair pairs well with self loathing and shame and a couple shots of well bourbon. Enjoy!!!

This place is great. Their food is awesome and the staff is amazing. Beer list is constantly rotating with the tap beers. They also have fried deserts that are pretty interesting and tasty. Although that raspberry habanero sauce I found not good pair with a fried Twinkie.

So, hanging around the North of Denver and had a hankering for some Wings. Read the reviews and decided this would be the place to go. I was misled. The service was good, and the drinks are very good, but the Wings left me wanting. My friend got the regular Wings, and I got the boneless 'Wings'. My friends Wings looked like the chickens had just gotten off Jenny Craig or something. They were so thin and stick like. The boneless Wings looked like, and tasted like, those chicken tenders you get in a Hungry Man meal or other frozen dinner. No texture, very wiggly, and not very good. The sauce was solid, but I asked for 2 different sauces, and they brought me two of the same one. I may go back if I'm ever that way again, but I wouldn't make it a point to go ther

Amazing hot sauces. Big fan of the El Jefe and the Raspberry Habanero sauces, especially on the Buffalo Chicken Salad and/or Sandwich. Great variety of beer on tap too and nice outdoor seating.

Happened to be on this side of town and we are ALWAYS looking for good wings. Wings have a great flavor they are small but I'm guessing it's because they use quality chicken or maybe it's because we showed up close to closing? Fries were awesome very crispy just the way we like. Homemade ranch has the hint of dill yummy , blue cheese rocked too. We will be back

Shea S.

De-freaking-licious! Been here a couple times now and their wings have become our hands-down favorite. The boneless wings are HUGE and come heavily sauced, just the way I like'em (I hate having to ask for extra sauce). Speaking of sauce, their sweet BBQ combined with ranch on the side is an incredibly addicting combo, while the bourbon chipotle hurts sooooo good. The spicy peanut is really interesting, though I can't handle too many with this rich sauce. The onion rings are delicious too - homemade breading that's heavier than most but so flavorful with herbs and spices. And they break when you bite into them, like they should. But the food isn't the only reason why we love it here. The atmosphere is really chill, the beer selection is thoughtful, and the service is top-notch. The last time we were in the server gave us a free order of spud puppies (also awesome) because the kitchen made some extra. And he helped us get more food for less during happy hour. Relaxed, friendly, and mouth-watering. Too bad we live so far away. We'll definitely be in anytime we're passing by.

LOVE this place! I work in the highlands and Fire on the Mountain is absolutely our go to option for lunch when we can't agree on anything else. Haven't had a sauce here that wasn't AMAZING. Make a point to try the rotating sauce of the month because they're usually awesome! Don't miss out on their house made blue cheese either! Best wings in Denver hands down!
(5)
Ben P.

I really enjoyed the fact they let you sample the sauces before you ordered the wings! They had a nice selection of beers. My girlfriend and I did not order any of the appetizers, but they had a nice selection. My biggest complaint the wings had very little meat to them

Deya Z.

I have a weird relationship with Fire on the Mountain. Hubs and I have been there a few times and while he loves it, I just can't share the love. Maybe I set my expectations too high since or friends had been raving about it but I didn't think they as awesome as everyone said they were. They let you try out the sauces in advance, which is cool & very much appreciated. But when you get the wings, they're DRENCHED in sauce; not my thing, but you know, to each their own. The tots with chili, however, ROCK! If only they'd put on cheddar!

Andrea K.

I was pretty impressed with Fire on the Mountain. I'm not a big wing lover but I suppose that makes me pickier. These wings were great, albeit a bit small. I had mine with the Bourbon Chipotle sauce (sugar free, gluten free, and vegan- the place is kind enough to denote these items for all of their sauces and you can taste any of them at the counter). Hubs had just the regular hot sauce which is really good too but I didn't think it was that hot, personally. Aside from the wings, the portions are enormous. Hubs had a "medium" tater tot side and it could have easily served 2-3 people. I enjoyed a side salad that was repleat with julienned carrots, diced tomatoes, fresh greens, etc. It was very impressive. In fact, all of the salads and sandwiches that crossed our paths on the way to other patrons looked fresh and delicious. I also had the Ruby Red Hound - that was pretty good. It had Deep Eddy Grapefruit Vodka, soda, and bitters. I couldn't detect the bitters and wish it'd had more of sour flavor (mine was also missing its salty rim) but I truly enjoyed the two grapefruit wedges that adorned my glass. FOTM has daily specials and happy hour M-F from 3-6.

$2.50 craft drafts all day Monday...how can you beat that? They have pretty much everything on their draft list (~12 taps) at $2.50, including some of the higher gravity offerings. Best draft deal I've seen in Denver so far. What would a good beer list be without good food? FOTM has that, too. While they're known as a wing place, we typically get a grilled chicken sandwich or wrap of some sort. Healthy and delicious. If you're a sauce fiend like me however, I recommend getting an additional side-car of sauce on the side, as their grilled chicken is lightly coated, whereas I prefer an obscene amount of sauce on mine. **Pro Tip** - Their sauces are pretty fantastic, but the list can be intimidating. When you place your order (which you have to do at the counter) they have all of their sauces available to try, so try as many as you need to reach a decision!** It gets busy in here, so be prepared to wait a little while, as it appears to be first come first served for tables. They have a big covered patio however, which is sometimes opened to alleviate the crowds.

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I saw a lot of reviews about the wings being the "best in Denver" but I have to disagree. They were a little over-done and my boyfriend noticed that they didn't have a lot of meat on them. They let you try wing sauces before ordering which is a plus. I went for the BBQ (pretty standard, sweet and mild) and the Medium sauce (nothing spectacular). We also ordered the tots with queso for dipping. I was pretty impressed with their queso. This was the best part of the meal. They have a pretty good beer selection and a fun, laid back vibe. The staff was super helpful and friendly. I'll probably give the wings another shot.

This is my second visit here. I admire the fact that they are mindful of their sourcing and that they are not trying to sling the largest most genetically engineered wings. The selection of sauces were extensive and they add something I have not seen before, tasting via celery before selecting your sauce. My favorites were the spicy peanut and the raspberry habanero (if I remember the last one right). My favorite flavor in general is garlic parmesan. Though they had it this time it is no a regular sauce. Additionally, I was hoping it would be baked on as some of the others seemed to be. Overall a good place with nice atmosphere and service. DT

Wings are delicious, drenched in homemade mouthwatering sauces. Wow. New favorite wing place, I cannot wait to come back.

Ryan M.

Always delicious wings! I get the bonless basket, which has 3 boneless wings (which are actually chicken tenders) and fries. They have fresh fries, and tons of sauces to choose from. Since I am a 'dipper' I get my wings naked, and get a lot of dipping sauces. The Thai Peanut and Raspberry Habanero are two of my favorites! Service is always great and they have a pretty decent beer selection on tap.

Monday is the best day of the week at FOTM. Forget your Monday sorrows. Drown them in $2.50 drafts. All day. And it's an exceptional beer list, too. $1 off drafts during happy hour Tuesday - Friday, so life doesn't have to stink on non-Mondays. Then of course, there's the wingies. Or, if you're like me and don't dig bones with your chickens - an array of grilled or fried breast sandwiches, wraps and salads are options too. I've had a grilled chicken wrap, sandwich, and salad and each were big enough portions for leftovers and equally delicious. You can step up to the register to order and try all of the sauces before deciding on one, too. Note - I'd say the only downside to FOTM would be the bar area is pretty small (maybe 10 seats?) but most of the main area is set up like a bar anyway - order at the counter, take a number and get your order (dine in or out is the same process, except for at the bar where you can order from a bartender).

The wings were so freaking delicious! My husband and I tried the Lime Cilantro (my fave), Spicy Peanut and Medium flavors and they were all amazing. The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is cool artwork that you can buy displayed on the walls throughout the restaurant. So glad we tried this place out during our quick visit to Denver.

Sara C.

Apparently I always ended up making it here around late night happy hour. Hey! That's easier on my pocketbook, otherwise I think it's pretty spendy here. Ooo Emmm Geeezy! The Spicy Peanut sauce is my favorite. At every wings place I get my wings plain with the sauces on the side... just so I can control how much sauce to get and I don't like messy hands and stuff under my nail bed. I also really like their cilantro lime, jamaican jerk, bourbon chipotle and medium spicy buffalo. The owners are friends with the owners of the location in OR and decided to bring the yummy goodness to the next hippiest state of Colorado. :P Love the microbrews on tap and the seitan selection even though I don't eat them. It give me an option to bring my friends who choose to not eat meat. Heard their salad is delicious too. They also have lunch specials for those working folks near by. I always have to get the fried mushrooms, they are a whole button mushroom battered and fried to perfection. Be careful though, they will burn when you first bite into them if you are not careful. I have had the tots here and also the fries, nothing over the top but really good to have selections on fried choices that's not meat also. The service has always been really great here. I walked in once at 10:38 not realizing they close at 11 PM, the lady said she didn't even realize they are closing soon... but they had to clean up anyway so we can hang for a bit. (I love that she didn't deny my hunger!) If you have a sweet tooth, try their fried dessert with oreos and twinkies. Totally fat kid heaven! I love their spicy peanut sauce so much I bought some to bring home and smoked my own pork ribs with it slathered on. I also added a little sriracha to the mix to give it a little bit more kick, came out super amazing with smokey flavor and a hint of the peanut. The spiciness gets less with the grilling so the added sriracha was awesome! Beers, Wings, Fried Dessert - I'm a happy fat kid!

Awesome place and food! Highly recommend. Raspberry habanero sauce is amazing. As is the buffalo chicken salad.

Christopher S.

Fire on the mountain indeed! You can try the palette of hot sauces at the counter with little pre-cut pieces of celery. A nice feature before you order up some wings. The wings come in a wide variety of forms and flavors and they really understand hot sauce here. They also have a decent selection of brews on tap. The interior is a modern update to this old west side building. Simple lines, high backs, booths, some bar seating. I had the bacon BBQ burger with fries and I was not disappointed. They managed to correctly temp my burger and the portion size was reasonable for the price. I sampled my lunch partner's boneless wings and I was impressed. Nice neighborhood pub and wing stop.

I came back twice during my weekend trip because it was so good (also because my sister loves wings). I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich. The jerk seasoning was expertly spiced with a perfect amount of heat while the pineapple topping added sweetness. The chicken itself was well cooked and moist. I had a side of sweet potato fries that were good. On the second night I ordered the seitan "wings" with raspberry habanero sauce. I wanted to try something new and, considering that I ordered seitan at a wing place, I thought they were really good. It's nice they have this option for vegetarians. The raspberry habanero sauce was tasty with a good kick to it. My sister ordered the wings with the standard hot sauce. She was happy with her food and I sampled a wing - definitely hot. We also got a basket of onion rings which were perfectly battered and fried. I would recommend getting an appetizer because it did take a little while for the entree to come out (the first day I didn't and looked longingly at all the food at other tables, I also hadn't eaten in 8 hours...). The beer selection here is great and what could be better with wings than beer? It seems to be a family friendly restaurant, the first day I went there were 3 families all with children under the age of 7. It's counter service and you seat yourself. The interior was vibrantly decorated with plants and large windows. I think this restaurant has a lot to offer for all comers.

Bumped them up to five stars after my last trip on Sunday with my mom. The pickiest Hispanic, fabulous glam lady you will every meet admitted my wings were spicy and finished my meal... This NEVER happens. NEVER. She eats jalapeÃ±os plain and said the el jefe sauce was HOT!!! She is the crazy old wise soul that tends to judge/complain about what isn't familiar, so I was nervous. But she enjoyed it, And. She. Loved. It. Can't wait to come back luckily I live 5 mins away!!!!

The Good Things - This place had a really wide variety of wing sauces. They put out little sampler plates with celery sticks so that you can try out each sauce before ordering. For someone that has a hard time deciding, this is awesome. Their bourbon chipotle is so, so good. Also, they have incredible bloody mary mix. The Bad Things - Those bloody mary's? Yea, waaaay too hot. I ordered the regular (not spicy) mary and I couldn't drink a quarter of it. Maybe they accidentally gave me a spicy one? Also, those wings may have great sauce, but there is no chicken on them! I got nine wings and was still hungry after eating! One wing had one sliver of salvageable meat on it. No bueno...

Took me a long time to make it in here but I really enjoyed my food, and contrary to everything I'd heard and read, I thought my meal was a ton of food for not a lot of beans. I ordered the boneless chicken basket with a big pile of delicious fresh cut fries for $8 and it came with three large, very crispy chicken tenders. I could only eat one and took the leftovers home. I also couldn't even finish my fries (unheard of). That maaaay have been because our group of four ordered a large frisbee of tater tots which were amazing! FOTM even offers sweet potato fries and tots (I still need to try these). Tots and fries with a few bites of chicken are a fine dinner in my book. Their homemade ranch and blue cheese dipping sauces were great and I also loved the chipotle bourbon and lime cilantro sauces for the wings. But spicy peanut was my favorite and that's what I ordered on my basket. So good and not too sweet or peanutty with good heat. My husband just does not love the tiny size of the organic wings here (some really were comically wee) but he did manage to put away plenty. The ordering line inside became a bit of a cluster so I was happy our friends snagged us a table outside away from the madness. Good draft beer list and friendly servers too. I'd like to come back and sample HH and more of their expertly fried smorgasborg - especially the pickles, stuffed mushrooms and fish n chips.

The wings are perfect small size, being locally raised free-range birds. The sauces are top notch - their medium is my favorite, but the jerk-spice is awesome too. It's all good. And busy.

I like the hippie theme going on in this joint. Not a bad place to grab some wings, a salad, some interesting side dishes and a beer. Colorful decor on the walls, hippie swank music in the background, quick service, overall neat place grab a casual bite to eat. I liked the buffalo chicken salad, sweet potato tots and the sweet BBQ wings. Tasty.
(4)
Chris G.

Not a big fan. They have a sort of non conventional service model which wasn't super obvious to the unitiated. The wings are tiny (tiny) and over priced. But they ARE organic and/or some other such nonsense which justifies the price. They do have a lot of good beers on tap but bottom line, I'd never reccomemd this place or go back.
(1)
Evan F.

Best wings in Denver! They always use the freshest most organic ingredients they can find. They have a great happy hour from where you can get wings for very cheap along with other small plates. They always rotate their beer taps with some of the best local brews in the state. Give this place a shot!
(5)
Paul M.

The sauces are great and different than the usual wings fare. You can try all of them before hand too! The peanut sauce was incredible as well as the cilantro lime, sweet bbq, and cranberry(?) habanero. Can't remember exactly what fruit was paired with that one. The hottest one, El Jefe, was pretty damn spicy, just a drop made my eyes water. Get that if you like pain while you eat. They really slather the sauce on so the wings are perfectly coated in flavor. It's great because the excess sauce stays on your fingers so if you bounce between wings you get hybrid flavor! The sweet potato tater tots are delicious and you should try the stuffed mushrooms if you like stuff like that. I take one star off for the smaller wing sizes. Most are normal but you'll get one that is tiny and has like two bites of meat on it. Lame.

Very unique sauces for their wings. Raspberry habanero is my fav. They also have a Thai peanut flavor. Wings are small compared to other places but the flavor makes up for it. Fried mushrooms are huge and the fried pickles are half spears not just slices. The manager brought us out complimentary deep fried Oreos and nutter butters which were scrumptious!

I love wings. Wings that aren't too sweet, tender meat, tasty sauce and affordable. So with the reviews of this place I thought sure I'll try it. They do have their sauces to taste with celery. It's a order-at-the-counter-take-a-number place. The food came out quickly. I got a side salad, nothing crazy but a decent salad. I order 12 wings, half with peanut sauce, half with a spicier sauce. Seitan is also available. The wings were way too saucy and the sauce was really mediocre. I found most of the sauces were just too sweet. The wings itself were good. The meat was tender. The menu also had sandwiches and salads, so you don't have to get wings. It may be hard to get a table. It seems like every restaurant in West Highlands is packed even though I haven't found a restaurant really worthy of a wait. We grabbed one of the last 2 tables on a Sunday evening. Definitely kid-friendly. Maybe I'm just pickier about my wings but I still haven't found a competitor to Walnut Room's.

Fire on the Mountain, you get five stars for making my dreams come true with delicious vegetarian wings. I love buffalo sauce, but I don't eat meat and these two things don't seem to mix well but you have come to the rescue! I have searched far and wide, and yours are the best seitan wings I have every tasted. So this is probably a better review to read if you're going for the veggie cuisine. I have tried their sandwich, wings and salad and all are awesome - if I had to pick a favorite it would be the salad though. The buffalo sauce is just perfect with the blue cheese dressing and salad. Once I requested a mix of buffalo and bbq (btw staff is AWESOME they are very flexible with doing half one sauce flavor and half another) and the bbq ended up taking over the flavor so they brought over a free buffalo sauce. And if you are not into buffalo they have a dozen sauces to choose from. Some of them are crazy hot though, beware of el jefe!
(5)
Shannon F.

This wing joint is one of the few that offers a vegetarian option. The seitan wings are excellent, and make sure you try the onion rings! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the only non-spicy sauce they offered that wasn't buffalo was barbecue. I don't like buffalo sauce, and my son doesn't like spicy, so we have no option but barbecue. That being said, it is fantastic barbecue sauce!

The seitan wings are a savior for a vegetarian, this is what my meat free life has been craving! The sauces are already out to try so you don't have to feel like a jerk asking for samples. A bunch were really tasty, hard to decide what to get. There's plenty of sides that also sounded great. Beer on tap and a cool vibe, this place is a winner.

I was very disappointed with the food after reading reviews. The wings were the SMALLEST wings I have ever had. One little bite and the meat was gone. I have more meat on my pinky that the wings they serve. The place has a great atmosphere for drinking beer and enjoying friends. But the foods is far from good.

I usually don't write negative reviews. That being said you could probably slaughter a chicken, de-feather it, clean it, cut off the wings and cook them yourself in less time than it takes to get your wings at Fire on the Mountain.

Absolutely love this place. I was introduced to the restaurant last summer and have since brought family and friends numerous times. I love the wings, they are a little small but pack a ton of flavor. My wife loves the tator tots. Staff is always attentive and friendly.

So growing up in Buffalo Ny then moving away a couple of years ago I have been in a never ending quest to find wings like home. Quest over!!!!! Fire on the mountain is spot on. They have actual wing worthy blue cheese which I though didn't exist on this side of the Mississippi. My friend and I split 24 wings we did the hot, raspberry habanero , bourbon chipolte and mango chipolte they were all very good in their own distinctive way . If I had to find a complaint with the sauce , the hot buffalo sauce had a lit too much butter in it. We also ordered the tater tots that were awesome. Love the grateful dead theme and the music selection was spot on . The only thing keeping this establishment from 5 stars is that the wings were a little undersized . But that will not stop me from coming back...

Erin N.

Love this place!!! They have wings & 'veggie' wings as wells as beer, sandwiches & deserts! What more could you want?! Love that you can try samples of all the different BBQ sauces before ordering. Parking is a bit of a struggle sometimes - but it's the Highlands - so that is to be expected!!
(5)
Spencer C.

Went here with the family on advice from a sister that they have the best blue cheese in town. We ordered the fried mushrooms and pickles to start. The mushrooms were good. The pickles were ok. 3 of us shared 24 wings-3 sauces, mango Habenero - spicy peanut and medium. All sauces were good and plenty on the wings. Wings were cooked good but a little small. The blue cheese was not all that great. Mom had a salad and it was full of greens. Desert was fried nutter butter and oreos. Good but mostly batter tasting. If I lived close this would be a great hangout place but not a place I would drive out of my way to go to.
(3)
Ramon G.

Pretty much what I expected. Wings, sauces and fried goods. Tough to screw up but they do it well. Out of the various choices my favorites still came back to good 'ol Buffalo style wings with blue cheese. Tots are pretty much what you expect. Toppings help kick it up a bit. You can test the many sauce options at the counter if you have trouble picking something. In fact, I'd recommend it. The wings are small, creepy small but I guess the birds had a good life. I think it's worth a shot if you like wings. It's a small place so grab a table when you can.

Kate T.

Fire On the Mountain is one of my favorite neighborhood spots. Great food, good atmosphere, and friendly staff. The ordering is simple and easy as you order up front and take a number to your seats, so you can take your time and don't have to worry about getting the check at the end. Their wings are great, and sauces are phenomenal (you can sample them all with celery sticks), their queso is really delicious as well, and I'm also a big fan of the fish n chips, and fish sandwich. I've honestly never been disappointed with anything I've gotten there. I appreciate that their chicken and beef are from local sources as well. They also always have a great beer selection, which is important here in Denver! Nice casual atmosphere and good food, why not give it a shot?

We were finishing up a Garden Tour in the area and walked by Fire on the Mountain and decided we could both munch on some wings, who doesn't love wings right? It was an odd hour of the day (3pm give or take) so the place was a little empty. We sat at the bar with an excellent bartender, he was sarcastic and really funny, he made the experience that much better. Typically this place is order at the counter and then they bring you your food. Since we sat at the bar we ordered with the bartender. The reason to go up to the counter is to sample all their spicy sauces so you can make an educated decision. There's a cup of celery and a little bit of each sauce to try. We tried most of them, some of the hotter flavors scared me so I opted not to burn my tongue and stick with the ones that I knew would work for us. After our taste test we decided on 9 wings and split the order to use two of their sauces. The Bourbon Chipotle and the Spicy Peanut. The wings arrived and to be honest the size of the wings was a little disappointing, pretty small IMO. This is where the disappointment ends, the sauces were finger licking good. Between the two, the Spicy Peanut takes it all, spicy and uber flavorful. The Bourbon Chipotle was wonderful as well. We had a wonderful time enjoying the air conditioning, beer, and wings. I would definitely come back for some more of those sauces and the rest of their awesome looking menu. *Important to note that they rotate their sauces. They're always coming up with new sauces and letting the customers enjoy the new creations. Bonus, they also sell the sauces separately so if you want to cook with it at home you can, just saying. If you're willing to brave the hot afternoon sun they have a nice side patio where you can people watch until your heart is content.

The best wings in Denver. I'm pretty sure of that. I go here all the time but be warned, it's a small place so most of the time you won't get a seat. They have samples of their sauces at the counter so you can try before you buy. The sauces are awesome and if you want spicy, they get super spicy. Their prices seem high but you find their portions are larger than you'd expect for wings. The boneless strips are huge and they give you quite a pile of fries. Their menu is pretty extensive so it's not just your normal wing place selection. The chili cheese fries are amazing and honestly everything is superb. The beer selection is small and they do have a small bar. Again seating is limited. You order at a counter and take a number but the bar is full service. I like this place a lot and most of the time take-out is a better option. Just wish they had more seating.
(5)
Kathy P.

Wow! Why haven't we been here before?! Great boneless wings! Yes regular wings available too. Lots of sauce choices. You can sample sauces before you order. Had mine plain and dipped in their delish ranch dressing. Had the $8 special w 3 boneless & fries. All yummy. Huge portions. Great beer selection too. Great patio.

Justin C.

I was really excited about this place when it first opened, but the last 2 times I've been have been terrible. The staff is very rude and apathetic to providing any level of service. The service: The last time I was there, a guy at the table next to me asked an employee about his food, because he had been waiting for it for over 20 minutes (it was regarding a deep-friend twinkie, which should not take 20 minutes). The employee's reaction was shocking: he actually raised both hands and shrugged his shoulders with the most passive aggressive attitude, and gave a look of *why the f--k are you asking me?* and said "Uhhh, would you like me to go check?" to which the customer replied "Please?" (as if it were too much to ask). The employee then patronizingly said "OK dude, perfect.." and walked off as if this customer was lazy and he was doing the guy a favor to go check. People from 4 different tables all witnessed it and started openly talking about how amazingly bad it was. The employee came back out with the twinkie (they had obviously forgotten about it) and didn't even apologize for the delay, much less for the attitude. I too have experienced 30+ minute wait times for food with attitude and no apology. The service just sucks. The food: The wings are good. They are cooked well and there are many good flavors to choose from. The problem is that these wings are TINY. I mean like, HALF the size of what someone would consider a "normal" restaurant wing. They must be getting these at a discount-- all the small reject wings that no other establishment would pay for. Not only are the wings small, but they barely have any meat on them. It's literally two wings to a "normal" wing. To be fair, they usually toss in extra. I ordered 9 wings and received 11. I appreciate the gesture, but that doesn't even begin to make up for the lack of meat on the bones. If this place could source chicken wings with meat on them and improve the service (at least pretend like you care about your customers) then this place would be decent.

I finally tried this place for the first time over the weekend. I love wings and was excited that they have all of their sauces out so you can try them first... Great way to avoid wasting money! The wings were a little on the pricey side, so I was a little surprised with how small the wings were when they came out. My boyfriend and I go out for wings a lot and we typically split 24 wings and get an appetizer or two (the chili cheese tots were great!), and this was the first time we ever finished all the appetizers and all the wings... And we were both still pretty hungry afterwards. This is is only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5, but regardless of the high price I will definitely be back... Maybe the boneless wings will be a more filling meal?

My coworkers and I order out frequently, and we frequently find ourselves with Fire On the Mountain for lunch. They serve fresh, delicious products at a reasonable price. They have good service and serve good beer. They use compostable waste products and have awesome sauces! The Jamaican Jerk burger is my go to lunch and I can't get over the blue cheese sauce for the fries. The wings are cooked correctly and delicious. They offer a service industry discount too if you ask. However, there is something that really bothers me that FOTM does that a lot of other restaurants are doing: Green washing! They call their chicken free range, but it's not, at all. It's Redbird brand chicken, which although tasty, is NOT free range, and is still fed all the gmo feed and never is allowed outdoors for sun or air. They also say their beef is Colorado Natural grass fed beef. First of all, they don't tell you the producer and the employee I asked said it was grass fed but didn't know the brand. Well then how do they know it's grass fed? I seriously doubt it is. All in all, 3 stars. 5 stars for food. -1 star for small chicken cutlet servings/expensive side options. -1 star for lying about ingredients.

worst seitan wings ever!! The staff was great and their chicken wings looked like they were probably amazing but if your going for the seitan wings I would go to city O city or watercourse . There so gross here, not crispy at all, super thick and not fried well.

I like Fire on The Mountain. Some things I like better than others. Now this is happening. Report Card. Atmosphere - A- Good music, TVs, love the local art and the red rocks ticket stubs in the tables. Nothing too amazing but chill. Nice patio. Pleasant. Service - B+ Though I was skeptical of the walk-up ordering situation, our food has always been fast and served with a friendly smile, and most importantly it is always correct--the system seems to serve it's purpose. Extra points for the tip jar. Food - B- Ok, I know the wings are good quality, humanely raised chicken, but plainly, they are kinda small and expensive. I love the sauces. Really, I loooove me some sauces. Especially sweet and spicy, like their raspberry habanero. Yum. I love that you can taste 'em. But the wings are kinda sad. Idk I would rather just not eat wings I guess (at that price). The best things I have had at Fire on the Mountain were the burgers and sandwiches. The fried pickles were good too but be careful they are really hot temperature wise, my boyfriend never waits long enough (they are really good) and burns his mouth. Salads are generous and fresh. Not a fan of the fried shrooms, they've got some blue cheese deal in them--not my fav. But the chicken sandwiches and burgers are epic. Beer/Bar - A+ The beer selection is always awesome. It is a rotating list of micros from all over the US. Happy hour in the evening and then late night as well means you can get these great beers for less money, or go on Mondays, for $2.50 microbrews all night. It's awesome. Who gives a crap about food. You could drink your dinner. But seriously, the beer situation alone puts this place on my permanent to-do list. Thanks for many good meals - I appreciate you all. Sincerely, Steriod-Wing Afficionado

Best wings in Denver. Awesome sauces. Cool beer list. The wings. They are. The Best. While some might say they are a tat small that is because these wings aren't some gelatinous sloppy mess that others try to pass off as wings. Who wants to much on warm fat? The wings are all meat and the sauces (especially that Raspberry Habanero) are delicioso! Oh and those fried pickles... they ain't kidding around either. They taste great! Their beer list, while not necessarily huge (8 taps if memory serves me correctly), always has something interesting on it. Five Stars... this place is worth the calories!

Awesome wing flavors and awesome environment.

I love their wings especially their sauces. I like the fact that before ordering they have a sampler to try out all the sauces that you can mix and match! The service is always great and the beer selection is pretty wide. It's a small space so be prepared to wait/fight for a table around dinner time especially on the weekend, but worth the wait. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and visitors :)

I went here on a double date with my boyfriend and some friends. The atmosphere was nice, relaxed. The staff was friendly and helpful. The fries were great. The wings, however, were pathetic to say the least. Small and over cooked.

Josie P.

So awesome in so many ways. If I could go there every Monday night for happy hour, I would! Well, every night, really! The food is always spot on, the service is impeccable, and it's a great atmosphere. You can sit on the heated patio and watch a game if you want, or you can hide in the little nook in the back if you want something a little more 'intimate' (well, intimate for a bar anyway). The have the good stuff on tap so do yourself a favor and get over there, like now!

Amy B.

Wings...yum!! My friend is an avid wings fan and these did not disappoint her. Indulge in the sweet potato tots too...so good. I wasn't a fan of the Steak Salad but then again...you don't go there for the steak. Cheers Fire on the Mountain!

Daniel B.

Denver CO - I can't say enough nice things about FOTM. Wonderful atmosphere, unique and delicious sauces, and the fries are some of the best I've ever had. I ordered the wings and my partner had a salad... Everything was perfect. They also went above and beyond after forgetting our order of fries by bringing out a mountain of fries and an order of deep fried Oreos to make up for the mistake! Thanks guys! Great place!

Cherie C.

There is NO reason that this place needs to be this good. But it is. I'd been craving Buffalo chicken, and after a disappointing attempt elsewhere, I asked Yelp for help. It sent me to FOTM, and I am forever grateful. The bf ordered at the counter while I grabbed a table. He didn't know how things work, so I ended up with tenders tossed in spicy peanut sauce. It wasn't the Buffalo sauce I'd been craving, but it was a whole new form of delicious that I didn't know I needed. The chicken was good, with a nice crispy batter. The sauce was a flavor bomb. We shared some tots, which was another learning moment. An order of tots feeds four to six people; there were but two of us. The bf got a burger. We didn't speak much once he got the sandwich; he was too busy savoring it. He said it was excellent but didn't offer to share. ;) Coupled with a nice beer selection, this menu has won our approval.

Fun place to meet up with friends-the outdoor patio is covered and heated in the winter and there are tons of flavors of wings. You can try out multiple rubs before you order and the waiters/waitresses are very friendly.

This is a great neighborhood restaurant. I have eaten here 5 or 6 times and it always good. I have had the buffalo Chicken salad ( my favorite) sandwiches and wings. All our good made great by the sauces. It is always fun to try the sauces before your order at the tasting station. Great music is always playing. I happen to love the Dead and enjoy the jam band genre they inspire. Service is always a little slow but it is not a problem. They make everything and it shows when you get that first taste. Enjoy!

Danny N.

Fire on the mountain... Is pretty fricken good. And I love me some wings. I believe these are easily the second best wings in Denver and I give them a solid 8.3 due to the fact of the size of their wings. They are just so little. But they have a perfect crispiness and a lot of sauces to chose from. Another awesome thing is that you can taste the sauces before hand. It's just a tad small so if you are rolling 10 deep maybe kind of hard to get a table but I totally approve of the wings.

The wings are good here, but front service is not great. Just stood in line forever; when it was my turn the cashier just leaves and starts putting together silverware and running food, then a new cashier jumps in and forms a different line. Really bothered by the lack of good service at the front.
(2)
Jay P.

It's pretty good. Food is priced fairly, the staff is usually cheerful and helpful, easy experience. The dining area is a little tacky and outdated but it's more of a fast food feel than anything else. Great spot overall to grab a quick bite to eat.

This place hits the spot! Great wings and amazing sauces to choose from that you can sample before you order. Definitely go for the Cilantro-Lime for a tangy kick! You can also split your order and do 2 different sauces if you'd like, and while you're at it definitely order some fries!

Steve O.

Having a Northside place that specializes in wings, and which is NOT Hooters in any way, shape or form, has brightened my Football Sundays immeasurably. Yes, the wings are on the smaller side but, their extra hot buffalo sauce suits my heat level, and I like the bourbon chipotle and spicy peanut sauces for something different. Their onion rings rock, too. They have a full bar with a TV, but the bar itself is small, so think about grabbing to go for game day..

Best wings I've ever had. a great variety of sauces to choose from, even if you require gluten free or have diabetic needs. the chicken was the perfect crispness. The staff was friendly and helpful, in the environment was relaxed and comfortable. And place to meet up with friends or a snack, lunch, or dinner and a beer.

We searched for good fried pickles in Denver and FOTM popped up. I love wings and after reading Yelp reviews we decided we needed to give FOTM a try. When we arrived it took us a minute to figure out that you order at the counter. When we approached the counter the woman at the register didn't greet us, didn't ask if we had any questions or offer any information on the specials. I really like that you can try the sauces before you make a decision. So we all tried a couple of sauces and ordered. I decided to get the three boneless wings with bourbon chipotle sauce, tater tots and fried pickles. The restaurant was busy, but we were able to find a table right away. The fried pickles came out first. The pickles were my favorite part of the meal. The chipotle mayonnaise dipping sauce that came with the pickles was very tasty. It was really flavorful and had a nice level of heat. Our wings were soon to follow. The boneless wings were okay and I liked the bourbon chipotle sauce. We also ordered bone-in wings, that I didn't try, but there were comments made that they were overcooked. The tater tots were lacking any seasoning. Thankfully there was salt on the table because I don't think they had any on them. Overall the food was decent, but it wasn't great and neither was the service. I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. There are wing places closer to where I live that are comparable, if not better. I think I visited FOTM with high expectations and it just wasn't what I was expecting after reading reviews. The others in my group agreed that it was a meh experience.

Aaron R.

"Wow," I thought as I looked over the menu "those are some expensive chicken wings!" I was correct, they are a bit on the high end of the scale. My fears were quickly assuaged however when the friendly cashier asked "Is this your first time in?" Indeed it was and I was quickly introduced to what makes FOTM great - All of their chicken wings come from pasture raised hens, their beef is all grass-fed, and they even have a sauce bar to try before you buy. Awesome right?! But you've got to ask... how are the wings? These wings are flipping great. I tried their medium, mango chipotle, and spicy peanut and all were solid choices. Not only that - but the wings were perfectly cooked, super juicy, and easy to pick from the bone. So I revisit my first thought - expensive? Nah. With FOTM you get what you pay for. I'll be back.

Drew S.

Tasty spot for wings and brews. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. Wings are average size, boneless wings (basically tenders) are big. Solid selection of brews with rotators. Taste the sauces at the counter with a celery sliver (amazing!). The sauces are my favorite thing about this place and also the patio that sits on the corner facing 32nd st. I've been here a handful of times and have had good service each time. This is my go to wing spot west of I-25.

Bridget C.

Love this place. I often frequent the Portland locations, this one is the same. Taste wings, I usually get the chicken tender salad which is super delicious .... and my weak attempt to be healthy. Anyway love this place, order up & pay at the counter, great weekly food/drink specials too
(5)
Paul D.

I have to admit some of my earlier enthusiasm for FOTM has waned. Most of their food is really good, I'll still assert, but I get sticker shock every time I get my bill there. Food is slightly pricey, beers are very much so. Especially for a place where you have to stand in line to order at the counter, I think their pricing is just a little out-of-whack. Additionally, the place is a little too Portlandia for me. This may be a draw for you depending on how hipster you are.

Christopher B.

What really surprised me about this place is the lively ambiance. It was pretty loud and very social and just a fun vibe. They have about 10 beers on tap, most of which are from Colorado. The selection is decent. I ended up ordering the boneless wings. The bartender told me they are pretty big in size so I only went with three. They allow you to try the different sauces so I opted for the raspberry habanero. The wings were really more like chicken tenders, they were pretty big, not too greasy but juicy and the sauce was good as I had already tried it. Given the great atmosphere, food, and beer, it's hard not to want to come back!

The seitan wings are the best in town! Caters to omnis and vegetarians. It's a thicker "wing" than you receive at other places, like native foods and watercourse, but I prefer "wings" with a bit more "meat."

Bryson M.

If you want to spend a ton of money on ridiculous tiny wings this is the place got 6 wings n my wife got 3 boneless and a beer for 20 bucks ... Oh yeah 6 dollar beers are on tap . Have you heard of the piper Inn . Go eat there wings. It's Amazing.

Billy L.

Wing joint with what I think is the best burger I've had in Denver... the blue cheese burger. Forgot the name but it's killer. It COMES WITH fries and is not incredibly over priced unlike every "burger resturaunt" I've been to in Denver.
(4)
Eric C.

I'm still not sure if it's the vibe of the place or the wings I liked better. The wings were pretty small, but cooked perfectly and came very saucy (which I like). I'm a very traditional "buffalo hot" sauce kind of guy, but I tried a couple of the non-traditional sauces on my buddies order and was actually a huge fan which surprised me. The vibe of the place is awesome, super busy and hectic with all the customers lining out the door, but if you can block all that out it's pretty laid back. They have a great selection of beers on tap as well, which in my opinion is a must at any wing establishment. I'll definitely be back at some point.

Julie G.

Had a nice lunch with a friend. I had the boneless chicken wings with the lime cilantro sauce and bleu cheese with a side of fries. The chicken was good and amply sauced. They let you sample all of the sauces before you order by providing celery to dip into the sauces. The cilantro lime tasted spicier on the celery so I felt that the chicken was slightly bland. The fries were crispy and hot and they provide malt vinegar for the fries (yum!!!) The friend I was with had a cheeseburger and he said it was delicious.

Kelsey K.

We were recommended to Fire on the Mountain by a close friend when we mentioned how much we enjoy wings. We didn't want to go to the Buffalo Wild Wings chain because, being from Seattle, we have one of those nearby our house. Once we entered the restaurant, it was a very unique and small business feel, but affordable prices. We bought three flavors and ended up completely mind blown by the incredible taste from each flavor of wing sauce; not to mention quality of wings. We STRONGLY recommend this wing joint- it's delicious!!!!!

Jules P.

Seriously good wings! You can taste the sauce before you buy and they have a ton of beers! Definitely coming back the next time we're craving wings!

These are probably the best wings I've had in Denver. My friends as vegetarians and they have seitan wings that they love, and I can get normal wings. It's rare to find a place that satisfies all. The wings I've gotten from them have been huge.

Dean S.

CONS: FOOD POISONING overcooked wings Small wings Stoned staff working FOOD POISONING no parking Dirty drink cups Ranch and blue cheese left out Only celery is served with the wings PROS: Different choice of sauces than normal wing places Good beer selection All in all we ate there last night and I have been throwing up for the better part of 12 hours now. I will never visit this place again. It sucks because I really love wings and really wanted to like this place. But burnt under sauched wings that make you sick? Nope.

I came out from Oregon on a trip and had to hit the newest addition to the FOTM family. My husband and I are weekly regulars at FOTM back in Portland, hitting the Fremont and Burnside locations pretty regular, maybe enough to change our DNA to a little bit of wing sauce. We went in today a little after lunch and wanted to throw big high fives for not having to stand in line or wait for a table. There were just a couple of people in there. You won't find that back in Portland around lunch time. It is the exact same set up, right down to the funky wall colors and benches, as Portland. A little piece of home, right here in Colorado. There was some confusion from the new staff about how to ring up an order that was substituting tots for fries, but they are new, so it was not a life shattering experience, it did not take from the flavor of the wings, so we all survived. I went with my usual chicken sandwich, and have to say, not so loudly that Portland hears me, but the chicken sandwich here was a lot better. Not dry, and the portion of chicken was much larger. I hope it stays that way for this location. I also, saw a lady next to us get the fish and chips and it looked a lot larger than the one I had been served in Portland at the Fremont location. The wings may be small, we have even been known to whine a little about it, as we are sucking the sauce off the bone, but let us call it portion control. The menu is exactly the same, so we got the fried pickles, too, and they delivered. Make sure you get the chipotle mayo, they gave us ranch, the mayo that comes with it is much better, a little spicy, but still good. The only thing I can say bad about today is the ranch was heavy on the mayo flavor and not enough ranch shining through, but somehow I managed. The staff were all friendly and kept checking on us and the other customers. I know they are still learning their way around the fine art of serving kick ass wings.

Everything we've ever had here has been absolutely delicious. The wings, chicken tenders, Tatar tots with queso!!, and any wrap or sandwich. It's better than bar food with tons of homemade sauces to choose from.

My girlfriend and I visited FOTM based on the strength of many of the reviews on Yelp. Our total bill was $40ish for 24 wings, a small order of tater tots, and 2 beers. The wings were incredibly small, the sauce just OK, and I didn't feel that the cost was justified. Pros: Good service A menu that includes more than just wings Decent beer lineup Able to taste all of the sauces before you order Cons: The wings are TINY TINY TINY, and expensive for what you're getting The sauces are just OK On our visit tonight they had shut down the grill 1 1/2 hours before closing time. Fried items only Between the high cost, small amount of meat, and better choices closer to home, I don't intend to return here.

My friend took me here and i really liked it. They have a variety of sauces to try and to put on your salat and wings. It has a small side bar where the tab handles are hanging on the sealing for when they exchange their beers! I think that is a really great idea!

kristen l.

Pretty decent wings - they're a little pricey per wing, but given that the chicken is free-range it's understandable. They have a variety of great sauces you can sample before ordering. My favorite is the spicy peanut. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I don't think I've ever been here without someone saying hello, asking how my meal is, or giving a suggestion on the great craft beers that they have on tap. The atmosphere is also relaxed and casual - always playing some great music. One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood to frequent!

Wow! I was feeling pretty "exhausted" because we are in the process of refinishing our floors and have been hotel bound for a home. (Two adults, two dogs... crammed in a small space...). I am so glad that we parked right by this place and didn't want to walk anywhere else!!! Best seitan burger in town! Better than Watercourse and City 'O City! Seriously - no competition! The sauce (Jamaican Jerk) was fantastic... they used great buns! All of the sauces I sampled were very tasty - and - spicy means spicy! I would highly recommend this place as a must eat!

They have a fun atmosphere, and a great variety of sauces. However, the wings are really small and the price is ridiculous for wings. Better off going to The Piper if you want wings. Too bad its on the other side of town.

In this town, there is a pretty limited market of meatless stuff fried and drenched in Buffalo sauce. But every now and then you just have hankering. Our go-to is usually Watercourse or City O but I didn't feel like dealing with parking at either and the parking situation seemed....marginally better near Highland Square so we placed a to-go order with FOTM. As luck would have it, I managed to squeeze into a parallel spot right up front! What also sold us was the myriad of sauces. All wings (including the seitan variety) run about a buck a piece. We could have easily gotten away with an order of 12 (they come in multiples of six) but went for 18 so we could pick three sauces and have leftovers. After some heated (no pun intended) discussion, we settled on the cilantro lime buffalo, spicy peanut, and chipotle bourbon. And tater tots with queso. First off, this place was BUSY. It had a very college town type vibe with tables of unkempt 20 somethings. The counter (where you order) was obviously not adequate for the number of people looking to order and there was no distinct line. I thought I was in front and then another patron managed to snake in in front of me so he could order another PBR (thanks bro). That said, the counter person was nice (if not a bit stressed) and my to-go transaction was smooth. The sauces on the wings themselves were delicious. I loved the spicy peanut best and Dave was partial to the chipotle bourbon. The wings themselves....eh. Pretty tough, super salty, and it felt like they had a longer then normal trip in the "chunk and form" machine (I'm not positive that such a thing exist, but if it does, the trip was too long). I found myself standing over the sink afterwards, desperately downing as much water as I could after the meal. We both agreed that while the sauces were awesome, we definitely preferred Watercourse/City O seitan and it's imperfect, non chunked and formed strips. The true standout was the queso tots. The order of tots was bigger than normal and there was clearly beer in the delicious queso. The side of celery that came with these bad boys was pretty comical. The celery sticks were wrapped up in a piece of aluminum foil, there were about six, and they were about 1 cm in width. Maybe 3 inches long. Why bother? They also do an 8% surcharge on to-go orders for their earth friendly, biodegradable, recyclable packaging. So you can inflame your insides with some non-digestive-friendly fried gluten and delicious pasteurized cheese product. Go figure.

My favorite wing place! I can never go back to eating over sized wings, I love the organic chicken they serve at FOTM. Food, drinks, service, atmosphere is all great!
(5)
Mitch H.

I think it's hilarious people complain about the smaller wings at FOTM. Probably the same people who love the wings they get from Dominos when they order a pizza. Personally, I would rather eat fresh, crispy, hormone-free, antibiotic free, cage-free Redbird wings than enormous, undercooked, raw wings lots of other places serve. You know the kind: still pink around the bone. Disgusting. Keep eating your Dominos wings and falling out of fashion, armchair quarterback.

Being from the buffalo, ny area you know I am going to be pretty biased towards good chicken wings... I have found no place else in Denver that can make wings as close to the ones I eat in Buffalo like Fire on the Mountain. They have many different sauces you can test try before ordering, which is very nice! Even though I am from Buffalo, I am a big wuss when it comes to the "heat" of my wings. So its good I can try em out and not worry about burning my mouth off the whole meal! I always get mild-medium when going to this restaurant (the medium really is on the hot side). And theyre even better if you order them extra crispy! They also have a pretty big beer selection as well, and support the local breweries! My husband has tried a few, I'm sorry I can't remember which! But he liked all the ones he's sampled so far!! The atmosphere is nice, although they get pretty busy and could definitely use more seating! But there is outdoor area to sit at too. I can definintely see why this is a popular place to go to, and we keep coming back!

This place has amazing food! We were in the area and decided to try this place out because or the high rating on yelp and I'm so glad I found this restaurant. We ordered the queso dip with chips, sweet potato tots, chicharonnes, and wings. Everything we ordered tasted so good that it was hard for our group to pick their favorites. The sweet potato tots had strong flavors of sweet potato and didn't just taste like the batter like many other sweet potato fries I have tried. This is actually the first time I had them as tots and they have quickly became my new favorites. As for the chicharonnes, they were made from dark chicken meat. The meat was bite size and chewy so they were easy to share and munch on while drinking our beers and waiting for our food to come out. The queso dip was equally delicious as the other appetizers we ordered. The chips were fleshly made and the queso dip was delicious- it didn't taste too rich. My boyfriend normally hates cheese and when he tried the queso dip he said it was the first time he liked anything with cheese. By the cash register, they have a sample of all the sauces for their wings with pre sliced celery to dip them in. We ended up going with the buffalo lime cilantro, bourbon chipotle, raspberry habanero, and spicy peanut. The buffalo lime cilantro and bourbon chipotle both had unique tastes to their sauces and I haven't eaten anything similar to them elsewhere and became my favorite sauces. The flavors were mildly spicy but bold. The buffalo lime cilantro didn't have too much of a sour flavor and the chipotle bourbon didn't have a strong smoky/ BBQ flavor; they were perfect. I don't usually like sweet flavors incorporated into my foods or sauces so I was pleasantly surprised when I sampled the raspberry habanero that it wasn't too sweet at all. There were very mild hints of raspberry and very spicy with stronger flavors of habanero. It had a perfect amount of kick to it. The spicy peanut tasted good in the sample amount, but when they were smothered over the wings, it had too much of a rich peanut buttery taste so I definitely preferred the other flavors. The restaurant was packed and when we got there, there was no empty tables inside or outside and we ended up sitting at the bar. With everything we ordered being that tasty, I don't doubt as to why there were so many people eating there. This place is definitely worth the drive, and definitely worth the price. The portions are big even for the small sizes so you definitely get your money's worth. They also have a vegetarian menu such as seitan wings, and fish and chips for those looking for a meatless option. I highly recommend this place.

Fire on the Mountain really surprised me, the quality of food and service were both solid. FOTM has been on my radar for a while but never ventured over to check it out, this was a big mistake. So the food ... For me good wings start with good sauces. FOTM not only has a large variety of sauces, you can sample them before you order. This is a huge plus as wing sauces are often a crap shoot and places like this. I've had both the wings and boneless wings, and both are filling and tasty. I personally like the boneless wings, less messy and the same taste. FOTM also has a full bar. This part might be the kicker for me. Wings and fresh tap beer seem to go together better than peanut butter and jelly. Since it's Colorado there are actually good beers on tap too. The one thing to watch out for with FOTM is the space is small. It tends to get busy on the weekends, so be ready to wait for a table. Other than that, go check it out!

Great atmosphere, quality food, friendly and funny staff. Love the sauces, fries and sandwiches. Can always get a healthy salad with grilled chicken! Love the homemade ranch!

I had heard from all the reviews about the tiny wings but I wanted to see for myself. The reviews were right and I should've tried the boneless chicken maybe. I sampled all the sauces and my favorite was sweet BBQ. Not sure why everyone likes the raspberry habanero. The fries here were delicious. I would come back just to eat those. I got an order of 9 wings with half medium and half plain so that i could dip in different sauces since I couldn't make up my mind. The cashier girl was nice and didn't charge for the extra sauces. We also ordered the bacon BBQ burger which looked decent but not for $11. I'd rather go to red robin with bottomless fries. service was good here but I don't think I'd return just because of the value. I did have a Denver daily deals though for this trip Luckily. I know the meats are supposed to be all natural or whatever but still.

I have had an ambivalent relationship with wings- love the meaty goodness, hate the encrustation of inedible gristle that I paid to NOT eat. Bless you, FOTM, for bringing into my life these fully, deliciously edible wings. They are pricey ($1 a pop), but at least I'm not throwing away precious poultry. Also, having a variety of AWESOME sauces is great.

Genial bartenders pouring from an ever-rotating row of taps - they only ever order one keg at a time of any particular beer, as evidenced by the different beer menu every one of the half dozen or so times I've been to Fire on the Mountain in the last couple months. Now onto the business at hand: the wings. Really, really, really good. You MUST try the spicy peanut, that stuff's no joke. They have cupcake tins with samples of each sauce (note to self...) up at the counter where you order (note to reader) and a bunch of little celery twigs, so you can see what you're getting yourself into.

The food is not that good, and the owner has no respect for the community that sounds his establishment. northdenvernews.com/denvâ€¦ Shame on them for lying to his neighbors and the city and county to do as he pleased....

The sauces are delicious. My favorites are the spicy peanut, raspberry habanero, and sweet BBQ. They rotate their beer list, so there is always a fresh selection. The wings are a bit small, but it's because they're free range, so you can feel a little better about what you're eating. I love this spot. The patio is dog-friendly, which is tough to find. I come here regularly. It's a great place to chill and have a beer with friends.

I like FOTM, but it is too expensive for what one receives. This is my second visit, and I will go back on a daily-deal. However, I will not likely pay full price. The sauces are great. The wings are great. The sandwiches are great. The prices suck. I do not agree with the other reviewers that "the wings are small." The wings are cooked exactly the way that I cook them at home -- CRISPY. When wings are cooked crispy (the best way to cook them) they condense. I hate when wings are barely cooked and too chewy. That is not the case here. Other than the price, the only other negative was that it took a while to get our order. We were drinking though, so the wait did not seem to matter much.

I started coming here about a year ago, right after I moved to Denver. I was hoping to find a place that I could enjoy which also served vegan options for my boyfriend. I had no idea that over course of 2014 we'd become almost-regulars. The food is awesome. I love the boneless wings. The bf gets seitan wings and he approves. The service is great, totally chill and happy to help with special requests. The drink specials are great, too. Always a decent selection on tap. It can get busy during a big game, but what else would you expect from a successful wing place?! Anyway, my only issue is that I haven't branched out to try a salad or a burger yet. Maybe the next visit?

Very lackluster wings. I've been here many times and even though their beer selection is great I've never been impressed with their wings. I have two friends that live near here so I end up stopping in every other month or so. Hopefully things will improve.

This place is perfect for highlands. Great rotating beers on tap and the wings are consistently good. Go for the boneless wings and fries, it's a steal and the bourbon chipotle sauce is unique and delicious!

Before I went and wrote and abhorrent "steer clear" review, I make sure I've visited a place at least twice. Maybe it's when I'm going (after 9pm), but this place has the worst service ever and the staff couldn't possibly care less. To get an order of boneless wings and fries, I have (on my 3 visits) have not waited fewer than 20 minutes. On this last visit, I actually watched the cook take wings and boneless wings out of the fryer (I was sitting at the bar), and they sat there for 10 minutes before anyone started plating them up. They have a great sauce selection, but all of them are extremely bold flavors. I am an admitted sauce fan, but to have their sauces coated, no drowning, the chicken is ridiculous. If you're brave enough to give this place a try, start with the sauce on the side. The price isn't that great either - $7-8 for 3 boneless wings and some cold fries. What does that add up to for me? About $20 wasted since I haven't eaten more than a quarter of my meal each time.

This place is great!The wings are superb and the choice of sauces are awesome. They have vegetarian options which is good. Nice selection of beers and a great laid back atmosphere. Friendly employees as well. They also have a selection of art pieces you can buy which gives them kudos in my book. Great little place to check out.

Man, do I love some wings. But these are not among the wings I love. Normally, this place would hover around 2 stars, but given that I went Monday night - which provides all pints of beer for $2.50 a piece!!! - I have to be a bit more judicious. Oh, FOTM chicken wing, how do I hate thee? You are not crispy. You have very little meat. You are soaked in way too much sauce (come on...they are chickens, not fish). You become cold very quickly because your core is that of a wafer. You sit there and taunt me because you're still a chicken wing, and you know I have weaknesses. Well, real chicken wings wouldn't abuse me such. I went in to FOTM maybe 2 years ago. Now I recall why I had not been back. What is wrong with evolution to allow a desperate bastard like myself the seeming coping mechanism to forget all that hurts? I will never forget again why I don't visit you more often. Your trickery will gain you nothing ever again chicken wing. Again, the beer bumps this up. Otherwise, we're looking at a 2.

Have been back multiple times since discovering this spot! The staff is incredibly friendly and the wings are great. There are always new sauces to try before ordering. Also, the fried pickles are amazing!

Love their wings, sandwiches and beer selection. The patio is great too. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is they can be pretty slow at times. Also I left my phone and minutes later returned and it was in the bathroom... not sure what is going with petty theft, but keep on eye on your belongs. However, very kid friendly with great food & drink. We frequent this great place.

Jennifer M.

aww yiss, hot wings. I love me some wings, but sometimes I get tired of the same old buffalo or sickly sweet varieties of sauces. A lot of times hot sauce just isn't hot enough for me as well. Just like people with peanut allergies ruining everything for the rest of us, it seems like everywhere that makes the spicy claim are catering to the spice wimps. This place does not. That said, they have a huge array of wing sauces for those that don't like heat, so don't let that turn you off. My husband is a fan of the buffalo lime cilantro, and the sweet BBQ is really tasty also. Personally, I'm a big fan of the spicy peanut and Jamaican jerk. Oh, and the El Jefe. I must buy a bottle of this and pour it on everything forever. So good it'll make you cry... or maybe so hot it'll make you cry? I just don't know if the two are mutually exclusive. The beer (and cider!) selection is great too. Having lived in San Diego for five years I was pretty excited to see seasonal Stone Brewing beers on draft. Plenty of places have Arrogant bastard, but seeing a seasonal beer made just for the elections was surprising. If wings aren't your thing they have a menu full of salads, sandwiches and fried things as well.

Great service, delicious vegan options, and awesome fries? All of these things greatly reduced my horror at the steady stream of broheims leaning over my plate at the bar to order more PBR tallboys.

Finally got around to trying FOTM on Friday night. We stopped in to eat here before heading for to our new favorite happy hour at Pizza Public. The menu is hard to read, but they do have print versions available for those of us who can't read the damn chalkboards! One thing I found to be awesome is that you can try every one of their sauces with teeny-tiny pieces of celery before you order. This is super helpful as some of them are pretty non-traditional for wings. Like most everyone else, I thought the spicy peanut and the raspberry habanero were amazing. I however am a sucker for a good buffalo chicken salad, so I opted to go that route. My dining companion also for some reason ordered boneless wings and tots. The tots were amazing! Our food was really good, though I think we both wished we had gone the more traditional "real wing" route rather than boneless. The breading on the boneless wings, while delicious is heavy and salty after awhile. Of course that didn't stop me from continuing to suck down the spicy deliciousness of the wings in my salad (made even more delicious by their awesome blue cheese dressing). What can I say? I had to stock up for happy hour. On another positive note, this place does counter service very well - some other places having issues with this could take a lesson from them. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and trying some of the other items on the menu.

Love the wings! I chose to eat here because they use natural red bird, and I always try to eat free range whenever possible. The sauces are delicious. The kids love the tater tots. Wish they would come up to Fort Collins so I could enjoy it more often.

Fun and delicious place for wings and craft beer. They have by far the cheapest craft beer ice found yet. Some on par or cheaper than actually going to the brewery!!!! What?!?! Crazy I know. Also they have sauce samples for you to try prior to having them drench your wings. Great idea!! Oh yeah and your good comes on an upside down frisbee. Big big fan!!!!!

DO NOT discount the fact the wings are small, because they are RANGE fed. No hormones! Love this place! It's my Saturday spot.

Wow this was a great find. Excellent food. They have chicken wings that are from happy chickens, and for those of us who don't eat chickens, they have Seitan...some type of vegetarian yumminess. They have like 10 different sauces you can get on your chicken or seitan. When you order, they have samples of all the sauces so you can try before you order. That made it hard to choose which one to get! Very friendly staff, and great food. Definitely stop to eat here.

After reading a few reviews, I was expecting tiny morsels of chicken clinging to bone, long wait times, and a disinterested staff. To their credit, Yelpers have it mostly right so far. Entering the main dining room, I wasn't really sure what to do, so I just stood up by the counter. After a couple minutes, one of the women at the register asked if I was ready for food. Yes, I suppose that's why I'm here. Where do I begin? I want to try the spicy peanut and raspberry habenero sauces and attempt to order 6 wings. No can do. Sauce splitting is only allowed on orders of 9 or more. Wait, what? There isn't a way to divide 9 wings evenly. Should I have tried three sauces? Then I probably would have had to order 10. I didn't want to ask, as it took her three times to get my order of "9 wings, spicy peanut and raspberry habenero, small onion rings". Someone else mentioned this, but I was shocked when it happened to me, also. I grab a table in a little cove that is "No Fun Land". The flatscreen isn't on and there isn't much to look at but children running around. As soon as a table opens up in the main dining room, I snipe it. Sniping is how everyone is getting their tables, which feels a little awkward. The high tops are cool, with old ski passes and family pictures under the glass, but lack of chairs is clearly an issue. The open kitchen is a stark contrast to the chaotic dining room. The chef is clear and loud as he calls of tickets on a Sunday night, plates coming out like clockwork. I hear several times "_____ dying in the window!" and almost feel bad for the staff, as they're somehow in the weeds when the back of the house isn't. My onion rings come out first, and they're a hot mess. A little undercooked, but its hard to tell under the thick coating of seasoned breadcrumbs. I'm talking a 4:1 ratio of breading to onion, at LEAST, and pulling it off was like taking the dough off of a corndog. Unpleasant. See my photo. The wings came out a few minutes later, and the peanut was a hit around the table. The raspberry habenero tasted like chili jam. The flavor was on point, but the consistency left something to be desired. They weren't the biggest wings, but a far cry from what I've read others whining about. They just aren't a great value at a dollar a wing, sustainability be damned. We want another round of drinks but aren't sure how it works. Can we open a tab with the bar if we're not seated there? Is there someone who comes to refresh our drinks? Who do we order with? A line overtakes the front counter so I ask the bartender, and she opens me a tab (which I'm instructed to close with her) and even brings them out to the table. Even checks to see if we need another round. Do we tip her, the one who's trying to earn a tip, or just throw it all in what we assume they pool? Round two we try three of the boneless wings, a small fry, and a fried twinkie. Boneless wings are code for chicken fingers, and are very overbreaded. I also wish we had asked for the sauce on the site, because the spicy peanut absorbs into the coating and it's awful. The fries are AMAZING, but cold. We finish the cold fries before the tenders if it's any indication of how bad they were. The highlight, by far, was the fried twinkie. Great amount of batter, with the center oozing out vanilla creme. Not many ways that you can mess that up, although one of the waitresses asks me three times if we've received it. Listen, if you're expecting the service and hospitality you're accustomed to from other great Highlands restaurants, you're in the wrong place. This seems like a restaurant where no one is in control. The people delivering your food are the same people bussing tables and bringing you napkins, but they rarely do all three correctly. It's like if McDonalds served booze and brought your food to you instead of calling you up. The thing about McDonalds is they have rigid systems in place to control the chaos. "Do A, then do B, then C. B should take you 20 seconds. If C is done, move to F." Everyone has a job, and they do it consistently. At Fire on the Mountain, I wasn't sure of anything. Get a stronger front of the house manager or start cutting dead weight, FotM. There's only so long you'll be able to get away with this in the Highlands.

I've lived in West Highlands for over a year and never even knew this place existed. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of wings, but I do loves me a good chicken sangwich and they make a tasty one here. The jerk chicken with pineapple is charbroiled and perfectly seasoned. And pretty much any sauce you can get on the wings, you can get as a sandwich. They also have tasters of all their sauces, which is pretty nice. Some excellent beers on tap as well (Twisted Pine Raspberry Wheat is a personal favorite). Definitely worth coming here for happy hour!

I was pretty excited to learn about a new WINGS place pretty close to my house. I went to school in Ft. Collins and good wings can be found in many places up there. Down here in Denver, I've found wings are a bit more hit or miss. Fire on the Mountain is a solid new possibility for me when that wing craving sets in! But I need to be honest, the thing that really stole my heart (and my stomach) here are the fried pickles. They are downright delicious. Big spears with a great, lighter batter. Fried, but still pickle-y and crunchy. No sogginess. Also, they are served with a spicy Chipotle sauce. We mixed the chipotle with some ranch and dipped away. Yum! Oh and the tater tots were great too, but totally out-shined by the pickles! The wings were tasty, too. We tried the Bourbon Chipotle and the Spicy Peanut. The Bourbon Chipotle is way spicier than it seemed when we tried the sauce near the register. The Spicy Peanut is really yummy! There was a bit of a mix-up at the register regarding the sauces that we wanted and we regrettably did not get to try the Raspberry Habenero that we had also ordered. Kinda bummed... Good patio-can't drink alcohol out there, though. Hopefully, this will change. Service was kinda crazy, but the place was hopping on a Friday night and it seemed like they were still trying to gets some kinks out and find their groove. I'll be back, but I may give them a little time to settle into the neighborhood!

More like a 3.5 star review. I used to live in this hood. I don't come back all too often these days, but recently found myself back here and have only heard good things about this new place, so off I went. This place used to be a dessert bar. I never went there when it was so I don't remember what it looked like. The decor though is really nice, bright and airy with a small patio as well. Busy as hell too- for a Tuesday at least. I see how this place can get overloaded quick. It's pretty small. By the way, they do offer tastes of their sauces by the register. Check that out when you come in. I didn't and wished I had changed my order after the fact! We decided on 18 wings: Raspberry Habanero, Peanut and Buffalo Lime Cilantro. I did get a side of jamaican jerk after I tried a sample of the sauce- BY FAR my favorite. I pretty much dug on all their sauces! I really enjoyed the raspberry habanero. Not too hot with a nice sweetness. However my only gripe: the wings are mad tiny. Organic or not, they were TINY. And pretty expensive- I mean, 18 wings were priced at $16.50. These are some of the best I've had in town however, regardless of price. And they have a nice small amount of microbrews on tap. Definitely a nice addition to West Highlands! Too bad I don't live so close anymore!

Love the wings, fries, onion rings, fried pickles, and fried nutter butters! Yes, the wings are small, but they're not pumped with hormones that are harmful. If you want big fat wings pumped with chemicals....go elsewhere. Being a Portland native and recent transplant to the Denver area, I was excited to find a little "taste of home". I LOVE FOTM at home and was hoping this location was up to par.....YES! It's location in Highlands and funky hipster vibe is on par with the "mother ship" in the NW. The addition of the outdoor space is awesome! Talking with the owners, they will feature some of the newer dishes served at the Freemont location (my faves are the pulled pork sandwich with blue cheese coleslaw, and mac-n-cheese with buffalo sauce). If you're looking for a sit down and order-type restaurant, this isn't the place for you. However, if you want great tasting, organic food, with a fun, funky vibe, this IS the place for you! Keep up the good work guys!

I stopped in with some friends for the vegan wings, which were good, but they tasted a bit dry and overcooked. I'm not sure if they're always like that or if it was a bad batch. I LOVE that they let you sample sauces at the register and I loved them all, though the cilantro was my favorite. We also went with the onion rings, which were delicious. The service was fast and friendly so I'd visit again.

Courtney P.

I'm going to tell you a story about Fire on the Mountain. It all begins in the summer of 2009, in Portland, Oregon. Courtney visits Fire on the Mountain there, and decides to try a fried pickle for the first time in her life. She is not disappointed, and returns many times over the course of the summer. Courtney then chases these fried pickles everywhere she can. If she sees them on the menu, she orders them. She had many bad experiences this way. No one stacks up. She finds acceptable substitutes, but still craves a FOTM pickle. She recommends the place to everyone whom she knows to be visiting the state of Oregon. Flash forward to Boxing Day, 2013. Four years of chasing pickles has left her no closer to satisfaction. Courtney is in Denver, touring the locations important to her husband in his youth. Imagine her surprise, her absolute glee, when her husband pulls up at an eerily familiar purple building, the squeal of delight when she realizes that "OMFG THIS IS FOTM," and the trepidation she feels upon realizing the reality may not match the fantasy. Imagination is a powerful thing - would the pickle be able to compete? No but seriously, guys. The fried pickles are fucking. amazing. My favourite wing sauce is the peanut. Good spice and interesting flavour. The raspberry habanero is good too. People are complaining that the wings are small - I suspect this might be because the wings are the size of the actual wings of a chicken, and not the hormone-laden monstrosities created by mass-production chicken warehouses. I also tried the mozzarella wheels - slices of mozzarella cheese like you'd get in a caprese salad, fried up. Let your fried food rest a minute, though - because it'll burn the living shit out of your mouth when you get it, even when the place is super-packed like it was when I went. TL;DR: My unicorn of fried pickles, great wings, fabulous service even when slammed. 20/10 will definitely visit at every available opportunity.

As a native Oregonian, I was thrilled to hear that FOTM had chosen Denver for their first foray in expanding the brand. Great wings as always, but the lady who took our order was trying to rush me ( only 3 people were in the restaurant at the time) and was a bit rude. I will be getting my orders to go in the future. Expensive it is, but worth it once in a while.

I have had FotM wings before and really enjoyed them, but tonight I tried ordering delivery from them through GrubHub and was super disappointed. The wait time I was given was 84 minutes, and then I received a text message extending that time by 5 minutes. This is 5:30 on a Wednesday, mind, not a game night. My order turned up 20 minutes after the given time, with no explanation. They do not seem to have in-house delivery drivers, but use Doorstep Delivery instead, which may have contributed to the issue. Then there was the matter of the food: my wings were overcooked, and my mushrooms were cold and soggy. With an $11 delivery fee and a pre-paid tip on top of their already higher-than-average prices, I expected much, much better. Such a bummer.

YUM. I was so excited to finally drag my butt up here to try out FOTM. I arrived before my party so I checked out the menu, ordered a beer and snagged a table on the patio. When we were ready to order we headed up to the counter and put in our food order as well as more drinks. While it seemed to take a long time for our food to come (no idea if it was really a long time or not I was just hungry) we enjoyed the patio and the beers. My friend warned me that the wings are on the smaller side since they're organic, etc. and I have to say that once they arrived and I tasted them I was 100% okay with that. I'm a girl that likes to eat wings. I don't EVER eat the wings down to the bone for many reasons that I won't list but mostly because they're just gross. These wings however were eaten cleanly off the bone and I have to say that I believe that says something about how awesome these are. Sure, they're a bit smaller than your run of the mill wings and they're a bit pricier but they are totally worth it. Our friend had a wrap that looked delicious and I had a side salad that was really yummy. I should have gone with my gut and ordered some sweet potato fries but I know I'll be back and can try them then. Staff was super friendly and I didn't get the disinterested vibe at all. We had multiple people ask us if we needed anything and the girl behind the bar was awesome. I'm just bummed I don't live in the neighborhood because I know this would be in a regular rotation of places we eat out. Perhaps a good reason to move!

Great wings, friendly staff, excellent beer selection. This is an ideal place to grab a beer with friends, catch a game or enjoy their patio. Be sure to ask about the specials - They do a an amazing Philly Pita....They also have a fantastic craft beer list but are not snobs about it. You want a PBR, you get the PBR. Cheers

Fire On the Mountain is a chain, but you'd never know it. A wide variety of flavors and heat levels, perfectly sauced, crispy wings, yummy salads with super fresh ingredients, and a wide variety of tasty sandwiches--there's really something for everyone here, especially as you can swap out the chicken for seitan and make just about anything vegetarian. Add to that the fact that they feature quite a few draft beers (including several local brews) and compare it to a widely known, four-hoofed (and over-poweringly vinegary) chain, and it's really no wonder that I used to think the location on East Burnside in Portland was a one-off. I've had a little of everything here, and I can confidently say that my favorite sauce is the honey bourbon, but my all-time favorite choice is the honey BBQ chicken sandwich. I love wings, but more than that, I love how the BBQ sauce, the juicy chicken, the crisp lettuce, the fresh tomato, spicy-sweet onion, and garlic mayo work together to achieve this balance that's just, well, delicious. I could go on (probably for longer than necessary), but you're better off just trying it for yourself. Go!

Johnie B.

Lots of debate here about wings and pricing at FOTM. My take - they are small, they are expensive, they are good. I really went to try out and buy some of their sauces. I bought a few wings to go and picked up a couple of half-pints of Spicy Peanut and El Jefe. Pricing for sauce make the wings look like a bargain. At $8/pint that would be $64/gallon. Anchor Bar, the granddaddy of all hot wings in Buffalo, NY charges $29/gallon for their sauce. I'm just sayin'. The sauces are good but I'll use them on wings I buy from my local wingery. When they're gone, they're gone, my curiosity having been sated. A nice place. Bring money.

Being a "wing" connoisseur I am skeptical of places that advertise a claim to fame for "best wings" of anywhere. This is why I shrug it off when I see it on a menu at a restaurant that doesn't even specialize in wings... That being said, when a place is called Fire on the Mountain, they obviously claim to SPECIALIZE in hot wings, thus it's realistic to have pretty high expectations... Not so much here. Actually more disappointed than when I visit Hooters - and let's face it, Hooters blows and even the girls and the outfits don't even suffice for a good time anymore. The hot wings at Fire on the Mountain can best be described as a meager attempt at dry, charred flesh and bone drenched in OKAY sauce. The two positive factors of this place is the customer service which is great, and the fact that you can sample sauces before ordering. Other than that, expect very very VERY small, over-cooked, and HIGHLY over-priced wings for the quality / quantity that you receive. If you want amazing wings - visit Vine St. Pub in City Park neighborhood. They advertise "best wings in Denver" and I laughed... and was promptly corrected. They truly are the very BEST I have ever had if you like a lot of meat on a wing, incredible sauce flavor, and crispy breading. IN-CRED-I-BLE. Try both the BBQ and traditional Buffalo - you will NOT be disappointed. If you want to stay in the Highlands/Berkeley neighborhood and have pretty fantastic hot wings, visit Patrick Carroll's or Pizza Pub - neither of which you would expect to offer impressive hot wings. Pat Carroll's provides a smoky flavor which sets them apart. Not a lot of breading but a decent sized wing for the money and the flavor is right up there with Vine St. Pub. I have a hard time picking which one I like more... It just depends on my mood. Just the opinion of a foodie but I'd say don't waste your money if you want excellent hot wings... Not even the atmosphere can compensate for the menu... :(

Great restaurant! Awesome wings with 12 different sauces, you also get 1 sauce choice for every 6 wings or fraction there of (1 for 6, 2 for 9 or 12, 3 for 15 or 18, etc..) The Jamaican Jerk Burger or Chicken sandwich are my absolute favorite. A great selection of beers on tap. Outdoor patio that usually fills up in after work hours. I think the owner (or maybe general manager) is usually in the restaurant making sure his patrons are happy and satisfied. They also have fried deserts (twinkies, nutter butters, and oreos) if you feel like indulging.

Great vegan options as they have seitan wings. Staff is friendly. They have tater tots which is a huge plus in our book. We need to go a few more times to get a better feel for the place.

So, I have deemed this place; "the place stoners go to get ripped off." The place was playing some and by some I mean only Grateful Dead and seemed to be more of a hippie run establishment. So we order some food, comes out to thirty-eight and some change, kind of had sticker shock for a second but felt it could be worth it... nope. I will give the positive first, the sauces are pretty darn impressive, and the fries were pretty tasty as well. The down side? Pretty much the rest of it. We waited for about five to tens minutes for it come out. Small wings, actually tiny... This is what amazed me most about the price of this place. The way the price system at this place seems to work is a buck a wing, which I can call fair. However, there was very little meat on the wings and they were rather small. I can't understand how they are able to get repeat business with the small product that is served. It took twelve wings to get me almost full, with fries. normally I can eat five or six and be fine. I did over order as I wanted to try a couple sauces, and I am glad I did. My girlfriend ended up ordering the seitan wings. The portion was spot on for her, actually it was more than enough. The problem comes from she was unable to get passed eating four of the twelve she ordered, why might you ask? Well, it turns out they were hard, hard in the sense that they couldn't be eaten with a fork and knife. She said they tasted great, but were inedible. Just as we were about to finish up the girl started to flip (close put chairs upside down on the table) the section we were sitting in, and that is just rude as it makes people feel rushed and undesired. She did this at 8:10 and the establishment doesn't close until 11:00, seemed unneeded to me. So after going to the place instead of take out and trying to give this place a shot after the who's on first situation last time I tried to attempt this place, I will not be going back. I really gave this place the most fair shot I could and it just comes up short. $38 = 12 vegan wings + 12 traditional wings + small fry + med tot + two drinks

Great beer selection and outstanding ambiance. Fire on the Mountain is one of the best places to relax in Denver on a Sunday afternoon. I moved away from town, but I'd definitely check out their outdoor patio when I'm back in the area. They're very specific and deliberate about their food selection - and it shows.

Definitely the most pleasantly surprising place I've been to in my front range search for good wings. This feels like friendly corner pub with an impressive tap list and great outdoor seating, that happens to also serve great wings. I love that there's a sample platter out front so you can taste all the sauces to see what you're in the mood for. Their bourbon chipotle sauce was a nice surprise. Their El Jefe, the hottest, had that perfect quality where it actually got hotter the more you ate it. The staff was super friendly. I can't wait to go back and take their wing challenge. The only downside is that the wings are a bit small, but as they state in their menu, that's just because they use cage-free chickens which don't come with tons of growth hormones. It may be a little expensive per pound, but I think it's totally worth it.

I live right down the street and I definitely think this is going to be our new hang out. The laid back atmosphere is relaxing and fun and the menus (drink and food) have a good variety at a great price. Wings were good, burger was great. Loved the fried pickles and onion rings. My favorite drink is the farmers daughter! It's super refreshing and a good delicious alternative to beer. Don't ask what's in it just try it. All around really impressed with the food, service, friendliness, atmosphere and price.

Got a groupon-type deal to try this place and I was sooo excited for some veggie wings! Sadly, this was kind of a bust. Our group of 4 (plus a baby) got there around 5:45, and found a nice table in back with room for everyone. We ordered fried dill pickles and tater tots with queso to start (note: this is not a "healthy eating" joint!). The pickles were decent - I prefer a thinner sliced pickle, and these are deep fried pickle spears. The tots were pretty basic good tots, but the queso was almost completely flavorless. Then came the veggie wings. After sampling all of the hot sauces, I decided to get cilantro lime and "hot" wing sauce. The sauces were good..the veggie wings were NOT good. The seitan was really crumbly, dense, and salty - not crispy and chewy like other seitan wings that I've tried. They were honestly pretty bad. I ate 2 just to be polite, and then left the rest. No one wanted them and it was a total waste of money. To be fair, the meat eaters in the group were happier. My bf really liked his hamburger and his onion rings were exceptional. Our friends got boneless wings, and they had no complaints with those. But, if you're a vegetarian and you're looking for an awesome veg-wing experience, then this is not the place! Stick to Watercourse.

When I go somewhere that specializes in wings, I freak out. I'm weird about meat and I can't do hot. So, imagine my surprise when, at Fire on the Mountain, they have all of their sauces to sample with celery so you (I) can see what you (I) can tolerate! Not only that, but I was also lucky enough to get the low down from the owner, Andrea, on the great quality of their meats. One Asian chicken salad and order of tots later, I was happy as a clam. Or chicken (Get it? Meat reference?). What a great experience :) Thanks FOTM for doing it right!

Hands dowm the best wings in Denver. Or anywhere for that matter. People that work here are always friendly and take good care of you. I cant decide my favorite sauce. Its a toss up between the Bourbon Chipolte, the Raspberry Habenero or just the Hot. All are top notch. Fries also kick major ass. They also rotate their tap beer almost every few days, which makes me come back more. Great atmosphere and scenery as well.

I went for the beer and was pleasantly pleased. Unique selection, helpful staff (Thanks Bell) and friendly people. Not your usual bar. Parking off 32nd during the week was no problem. Grateful Dead's Fire on the Mountain: youtube.com/watch?v=YAhEâ€¦

Coming from the east coast, very close to buffalo, I will say I have yet to find a wing establishment with 1 good wings and 2 a variety of sauce selections. FOTM is by far the best wing place I have come across in my 4.5 years I have been in this fine state. I am willing to pay a higher rate for good wings if they really are good and they are not stuffed with hormones and other crap. Every time we have gone to FOTM we have received exceptional service, great wings, and have left satisfied. They have great wing night specials if you are worried about pricey wings and a great beer selection. We will be coming back for more for of their delicious saucy wings in the future! Who knows maybe someday they will even add my favorite east coast sauce to their rotation, honey BBQ Cajun parm. . . . Yum!

As long as you know what type of place you're going to, this is pretty fabulous. It's not fancy (you order, sit down, fill your own drinks, and wait for food to be dropped off), but is full of both regular AND vegetarian wings. While personally, I prefer the seitan wings at Watercouse/City O City, I enjoy having more vegan wing options near by. At the register, you can taste all of the different sauces, which was nice (especially because I can't handle too much spice). Staff is friendly and super laid back, and the food comes out hot and tasty. Will definitely be back to try more of their vegetarian options.

Kanani C.

Great service. Cozy place. Samples of sauces available, though the hot I sampled seemed more spicy than what was on the wings. Essentially fair wings, good sauces, will not go back, at least for the wings.

DELICIOUS. If you like chicken wings and beer come here. Came in for lunch and had a great beer with my meal. Great beer prices and lunch specials. You can taste the sauces with celery sticks before you even order. It's a great chicken wing experience.

Joe G.

Here's my reasoning. First, I'm from Buffalo, my first job was at a wing bar, and this place doesn't compare to other wing joints in town. Here's my reasoning...The price is a little on the ridiculous side for what you get. The wings were smaller than the wings I get at a place who serves $5 all you can eat wings, yet I paid more for there's...The sauces were quite generic and seemed to be all based with a buffalo sauce. For an example, my wife, I, and a friend went and ate there, we got a frisbee full of hashbrowns (that was cool), 12 wings, 7 chicken tenders, a salad, three adult beverages, and our bill was $73 with tip. That seems a bit much for a local wing joint. I guess that is the dangerous part of owning a chicken place in the Highlands...gotta price em high to pay the rent!

I really, really wanted to like this place, I mean that. My husband and I were very excited when it opened up in our neighborhood as we met at college in Buffalo 20+ years ago, and LOVE wings. Have eaten tons in the past. We don't eat them often now; he's mostly vegetarian and we both prefer a healthier meal...but the craving hit, so we ordered take out on a cold night and were seriously looking forward to our meal. We couldn't have been more disappointed. We ordered mild wings, seitan wings, and an appetizer sampler. Everyone is right, $1 a wing is expensive. However, I would have been fine with the price (especially since they were free range chickens) if they hadn't included wings that were smaller than my thumb or pinky (or almost anything). I was expecting small, but they sold me wings that should NOT have been included in any order...they were teeny tiny compared to the rest, and it was glaring in an order of less than 20 wings. And at $1 a wing, you feel like you're getting ripped off when they throw those in. There shouldn't be mostly normal sized wings and then a bunch of tiny ones...it's a glaring ripoff. I liked the mild sauce, and the fact that the wings weren't swimming in it...also, their blue cheese dressing appeared to be the real thing. That earns them a star, but that's about it. My husband hated the seitan wings, and he likes pretty much anything vegetarian. His exact words were, "They are inedible; not everything should be buffaloed". Aside from being inedible, they looked a little like a container of Mr. Hanky's (that's a poop reference). The entire order was thrown out. Finally, the appetizer sampler...how can you ruin french fries, pickles, and onion rings? I don't know, but it was pretty lousy...maybe we were there on a bad night, but for $10, it was a plate of greasy-not-so-tasty food. We picked at the french fries (super greasy, overly salted and mushy) but the onion rings were way too greasy, you know when you pick the coating off the rings they aren't great onion rings. And everyone seems to love the fried pickles, but they were tasteless; seems like a sad thing to do to a yummy pickle, we didn't eat those either, they got tossed. Not good at all, I can't recommend any of it. And here's the kicker: in addition to the bad food, WE WERE OVERCHARGED!!! I didn't realize it, since I didn't ask for a price over the phone...but I knew it was going to be $32 after adding it up on the menu. My husband was the one who picked it up and they charged him over $38...there is not $6 of tax on a $32 meal. Maybe they charged us for a larger order of seitan or wings, either way, it was insult to injury. If I'd known at the time of pick up, I would have said something to them; but since the husband didn't realize how much it was supposed to be, and there was no receipt in the bag when he got home...well, we were kind of stuck. And pissed off. Charging extra for a crappy meal sucks. And the ending to the meal? My hubby got sick and threw up within a half hour, and I had a belly ache for most of the evening...blame it on fried foods maybe, but this didn't happen the last time we ate wings and fries. We're not THAT old. So many wonderful places to eat on 32nd & Lowell, and we made a mistake...if I knew we were going to spend almost $40 on crappy food, we could have gone and had a great meal at any of the other places on the block...Stella or Bang or Meade Street or Sushi Hai...or could have had 2 meals for that price at Chipotle or Garbanzos or any of the pizza places...they are all good...we won't be making this mistake again.

I stumbled into this place because I was starving it is was the first restaurant I saw. When I walked it the place had a fun artsy laid back vibe. The girl who took my order was very nice. On the counter where you order they had their different sauces that you could try with a celery stick which was neat and helpful. They also had a great selection of beer. I had the buffalo lime cilantro wings which was extremely delicious with just the right amount of heat. I also had the bacon blue burger which was phenomenal! The burger was cooked to perfection with a 1/3 3lb of natural grass feed beef that was extremely juicy and full of flavor. The fries were also homemade and very good. I was very impressed with the quality of food from Fire on the Mountain and will definitely be going back again.

I'm not a wing person, but I really enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Salad with Mixed baby greens, crisp romaine, charbroiled chicken breast with our signature wing sauce, red onions, tomato, bleu cheese crumbles and chunky bleu cheese dressing. You get to pick which hot sauce you want on the chicken. I went with mild and it was really good. Cool space, friendly people and great artwork on the walls.

Their food is fine, but their service is so disorganized and haphazard that I wouldn't try it again. We had a complete fiasco with our food - my order came out twice and my husband's never came out at all. It was a headache to order and we were left waiting forever for our food. If the food were amazing, I might be willing to try and give them another shot but even thinking about trying to return to that place gives me anxiety.

Joyce L.

This is a fun place to be on game day. Their wings come from organic, special chickens so they cost a little more, and they're a little small, but they're quite tasty. All the sauces are flavorful, with a wide assortment. My favorite is bourbon chipotle. As for non-wing foods, the regular burger is thick and juicy. The fries are just a little sweet, different but good. The mushroom caps are bland, would skip those. Great assortment of local and other beers, always changing.

Craig E.

I have very high hopes for this place, 12 different sauces and a full bar, where can I sign up! I went here on the first night they were open and they lost our order, which meant that I was starving by the time the food came. In their defense, it was their first day and the owner came over and offered to comp our dinner, good save! The food was good, stick with the wings though, the salad left a lot to be desired. All the ladies out there should try the 'farmers daughter' cocktail, some sort of delicious concoction whose ingredients will remain a secret...

I'm somehow missing how this place is averaging 4-stars on Yelp. This makes me think that folks just haven't found some of the actual good wing spots in D-town. I loves me a good wing from time to time so I've ordered them at a variety of different places. Let me help you find the REALLY good wings in Denver: Roo Bar - Go here. Order the wings with crack sauce. No, not the buffalo sauce - the crack sauce. You will be very happy. Big Hoss - Sometimes, on a good day with a good cook, the pit wings are fabulous. Sometimes they are overcooked and just average, but on those good days... heaven. Marco's Coal Fired Pizza - Really, really good wings. Not the spicy Buffalo variety, but good nonetheless and in many ways better. The British Bulldog - The wings here are Pakistani-inspired and are served with little corners of pita bread. Different, yes, but soooo tasty. The wings we had at FOTM were scrawny, overcooked, expensive and flavorless. I just don't get it. To be fair, our fries were MUCH better than average, but the onion rings were bready, moist and tasteless. Meh... whatever.

Went for lunch with my brother on a Monday thinking that it would be a great new spot that he coud add to his rotation. Boy were we wrong. We each had the lunch special, which was tragically overpriced. At $1 per wing for a small order, I wonder how these people ever sell any. The wings were small, I mean embarrasingly small. The sauces were OK, better than what you would get at Buffalo Wild wings and more abundant on the wings, but that is where the good things stop. We waited for 20 minutes for our food, The fries were very overcooked and as I mentioned earlier the wings were very small. I was not impressed and will not be back, sorry Fire on the Mountain.

I went back here recently to get food to go. No service issues, friendly employees. The seitan wings are so tasty, and they are good-sized as well; an order of 6 for $6 is far more than I can eat at once. I have to up it to 4 stars.

Lauren D.

I'm currently in a love-hate mood about FOTM. I'm from Buffalo(-ish), NY. So yea, I have kinda high wing standards. And really, I love their wings. I love their traditional sauces, I love their weird sauces, I love that they have real wings (not breaded) and boneless and even fake-meat wings. But I swear this place is too popular for their own good. The first time I ordered take out. Their lines were SO BUSY I couldn't even place a phone-in order. So I went there, made my order and then just waited for it. The second time we went to dine-in for their wildfire relief fundraiser dealio and once again so packed some of our food came out and some didn't. When we tried to get it fixed they were clearly very sorry and offered a refund to my friend, but then couldn't even figure out a way to properly refund his money. Do I like their product and location, yes it's wonderful. But it will definitely be a take-out only place for us for awhile, which is a shame as they have a cool patio that you can bring your dog and consume booze on. Maybe once they work out the kinks.

These amazing wings, in a perfect neighborhood location (around the corner from our house), deserve nothing less than 5 stars every time. Not to mention their fries and queso :) We've tried all of their flavors, each one creative and tasty. My fav with forever be hot buffalo ;) The staff is awesome. And the owners have a cool, humble 'we just happen to be successful' attitude. Great beer selection, too! We had our meet and greet for our friends and family 2 days before our wedding to show them this gem, and everyone raves about it still! They were so accommodating. We will forever be regulars! Ps, I'm sure the whole menu is amazing, I've just never strayed Away from our tried and true wings ;)

HORRIBLE DENVER, HORRIBLE!!! Just recently moved to Denver a few weeks ago from Portland, OR, and noticed that a FOTM just recently opened, even in my own neighborhood. After visiting and sometimes living at all 3 FOTM in portland, I knew I couldnt go wrong. HOLY SHIT, I was dead wrong. Service here is Denver is not even close to what Ive experienced at the other 3. They should change the name because its an insult to the original. Service is extremely slow and they don't even answer the phone to place take-out orders. I don't even want to waste my time complaining about this place because its a waste of time. Its too bad because their wings are awesome. Good job denver, for ruining good hot wings.

Mics R.

So I have been going to Fire on the Mountain for quite a while now and my first reaction was 'this place is awesome!' The original excitement has slowly waned as the quality/ consistency seems to waver. Recently, our order of wings (lime cilantro & raspberry hab...so good!) came out and they were way too saucy and all 12 were drumettes. Odd. And I know the wings come from happy little chickens on happy little farms where they eat and live better than me but tonight they were just way too small. Possibly a baby or midget chicken. Tots were damn good though. If the place weren't so close, I would probably not return. So lazy....

The wings here are excellent! The chicken is hormone free RedBird chicken (which in my opinion is the ONLY chicken to eat!) They have an excellent selection of sauces. My favorites are the Lime Cilantro and Bourbon Chipotle. The tater tots are delicious as well. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they are a little on the expensive side. Delicious nevertheless!

Great wings, sweet beer selection, and a sauce for every type of taste bud. Side note: You know what you should stop doing, fellow Yelpers? Complaining about the Highlands neighborhood being full of people who you instantaneously dislike based on the presence of any of the following: beards, tattoos, a PBR in their hand, square (nerdy) glasses, and/or skinny jeans. Yeah, us Highlanders appreciate places like FOTM because they compost, source their food responsibly, and value conservation. How does that negatively impact anyone? If you are going to be pissed off about paying $17 for (awesome) wings, stick to whatever hole in Denver you came out of in the first place because We. Don't. Want you. Now go back to playing with your pure-bred whatever-the-hell-dog you didn't get from a shelter and eating your hormone saturated meat while scrolling blogs supporting Mitt Romney and leave us in peace. Thank you FOTM for realizing that most people are willing to pay a fair price to ensure that our food was treated ethically before it ended up on our plates and will be disposed of responsibly once we are done.

Food: A. The Sauces The sauces at FOTM are freaking fantastic. I had raspberry habanero, extra hot, and the fiery peanut. All three were delicious, some of the best sauce that I've ever had on wings. It was complex, peppery, and the heat was delicious without cheating by adding capsaicin powder to the sauces. Unfortunately: B. The wings I would hate to see the chickens that these wings came from. Scrawny doesn't begin to describe the wings here. Anemic, pathetic, sad, disappointing, THOSE are the adjectives I would use to describe the wings at FOTM. I had a wing that was the smallest wing I had ever seen in my entire life. There were none that I would qualify as large (for a Buffalo wing). Price: FOTM is the most expensive I have ever seen for Buffalo wings - which are SUPPOSED to be cheap bar food. They aren't here. Buffalo wings were invented at the Anchor bar because there were scraps laying around and its what they came up with. Here, 6 wings are $6. 18 wings were $16.50. That is expensive, ESPECIALLY given how pathetic the wings are. I had 9 wings and I was starving afterwards. It had less meat than a 4 piece chicken mcnugget. Service: It's not fair to judge a restaurant that has been open for 2 days on service, but I will tell you that it was awful, and that it wasn't opening day problems. There is no captain in the restaurant - and one of the owners that I saw there did NOT appear to care that there were people waiting for take-out food for over 20 minutes - for freaking wings no less - AT A WINGS PLACE. Someone else who was perhaps a bartender, perhaps a manager? Spent MOST of my wait time shoving food into his face at the bar, but in his defense he did indeed check to see where the mother F my food was. So, that guy gets points whereas the owner gets 0 points for not even caring. Clientele: I PROBABLY should not go to a place smack dab in the highlands and be upset by hipsters and thousandaires - but I was. So, if you are super turned off by dudes in beards and ironic t-shirts (Oh look, you're 33 and you're wearing a high school t-shirt! Oh and a beard! [Side note: What kind of jobs allow people to have beards? Is EVERYONE here in the creative industry? Music? Food service?]). It was 60/40 dudes with beards to dudes without. If you don't want to get your food in a scene, this isn't the place for you. Conclusions: Barring some sort of happy hour special I won't be back, The sauces are fantastic but it's an AWFUL value. Wing Stop is cheaper with equivalently delicious wings. It would be a fun place to eat with 5-6 other people and sit on the patio if they ever allow beer on it.

I rode by FOTM the other day on my bike ride from Downtown to Lookout Mountain. Seeing a place dedicated for hot wings made me pedal just a little harder knowing I was going to try them in the next 48 hours. Stopped in for lunch today and ordered the raspberry habanero and spicy peanut wings. Both were awesome. Not as spicy as I really was hoping for but I know what to get next time. FACT: They have a tray of all the sauces up at the front counter for you to try with celery sticks. I had to try the El Jefe and was blown away by it. I might try 3 wings in that flavor next time. The taste lingered for about 10 minutes and boy was it good. They have a great happy hour special pricing on beer for pitchers. This might be my new spot to catch an early football game. None the less I can't wait to go back. Service was top notch!

Lauren X.

TERRIBLE!!!! My husband threw up for an hour after eating their spicy peanut wings. I would put no stars if I could. My husband and I decided to try this new wing spot today. We ordered a small order of wings to-go. After waiting 30 minutes we had to go up to the counter to ask if they remembered our order. He ate the spicy peanut wings ( I thought they tasted off, and only had one bite). After we returned home he had stomach pain for 30 minutes then threw up for an hour. I will never eat at Fire on the Mountain again.

This is my favorite spot in Denver for wings, hands down! They not only have a great selection of sauces, but all of their chicken is hormone free, free range chicken. Beyond their wings; the fried pickles are a must try along with their fries. Plus they have a great selection of craft beers from around the state. Must try!

Jeffrey E.

What I had? Medium and Lime Cilantro chicken wings, tater tots, and fried Twinkie Food review: Started out with the tater tots. First of all, the tater tots alone with no sauce tasted unusually good. It was made doubly so when a coworker of mine found that they have banana ketchup. Yayy! :-) Then went on to the wings. Both flavors of wings were quite good but I think I like the lime cilantro a little better. I think next time I can go with the Hot over the medium as well. Finished my lunch off with a crazy delicious fried twinkie. Oh my gooodness... amazing! Service? No complaints Other thoughts: Nice little patio area. In retrospect, I would have liked to have ordered 6 wings at a time instead of all 12 like I did this time. 2nd half was a little cold by the time I got to them.

Jenn S.

At Fire on the Mountain I finally got to try my first fried Twinkie and yes, it was all that I hoped it would be. On my next visit I will go for the fried Oreo. After another fabulous meal of course. Given that I am not a wing person - I grew up in Utah, it's beyond my control - I went for a chicken salad. Delish and properly made to order. It was a tad spicy for my taste but again, my taste is bland, bland, bland, and I loved getting to sample the sauces before ordering. Fun and friendly service and setting.

Tara G.

Fun place to go for good food. I will admit I did not get chicken wings, so maybe I would have given it 4 stars if I tried their specialty. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It's was good, but not the best I've had. They had a great beer selection though. I would go back again and try the wings.

R. L.

I love a good cold beer and some good wings. With that qualifier, this place should rock n' roll. It does, but with a price. Being in the hood, it was cool to see a good beer n' wings place open to add to the variety in town. On first visit, just fantastic wings. I mean really, really good wings. I believe locally sourced high quality chicks cooked well with 12 sauces to choose from it was good. What I didn't do, was pay that visit, my father did. Just returning not 15 minutes ago from my second visit. Again, great food. Can't complain at all, matter of fact, will only say really good food. Problem I have is this. 1 plate of wings (18) + side of fries 3 Coors light 1 Wynkoop beer $51 including tip. Now, I don't mind paying for good food, but that seemed a little high for me. The culprit were $5 Coors lights (in bottles no less). On a Friday afternoon. Feel a little ripped off to tell the truth and it will be a very long time before I visit again, sadly. They really do have great wings and sauces. :(

Lodore B.

These wings are still amazing but they are definitely NOT CHEAP! At a buck a wing they're some of the most expensive but the sauces (I'm in love with the "hot,") are amazing. It could break your bank but they're still the best wings.

Goddamn delicious. No other way to put it. On the pricier side but total quality and heaping portions. Tremendous beer selection, cool atmosphere, and righteous tunes. I'm not always in this part of town, but when I am I'm eating at Fire on the Mountain.

I was excited when I learned there was a new craft beer restaurant opening up 8 blocks from my house. I was even MORE excited when I learned they would be featuring chicken wings with an array of sauce options. After trying it, I was disappointed when I didn't fall in love. Seating: Medium-small. Service: Friendly enough. Ambiance: Brighter than the sun viewed through a telescope. Oh and I was expecting some kind of Grateful Dead decor in relation to the name... none that I could see. Sorry hippies. Location: Awesome Wings: They taste like chicken, but they very well could be hummingbird. A buck a wing is a little steep for hummingbird. Sauces: Mostly good. El Jefe may have done semi-permanent damage to my esophagus. Beers: No drafts yet. Decent selection of cans/bottles. Patrons: See Matthew B.'s review on clientele... hysterical. Overall a C+ to a business that just started out. You can count on me checking in again... especially when they get the taps up and running.

Love this place AND I don't eat meat. I love their sauces (esp the sweet BBQ and spicy peanut) and the seitan wings give me the opportunity to have the wing experience without eating chicken. My favorite meal is the portobello mushroom sandwich, its not over seasoned or sauced, is on a soft bun, and is just delicious. They always have great beers on tap and drink specials. Great spot to watch games.

I guess people have been so tainted by hormone fed chicken that when they see chicken free of this stuff they are shocked by how small the wings, breasts, etc are. But this is how our food is meant to be. Anyways, love the wings here. Have had a positive experience with staff and service. I've been to almost every wing place in Denver, and rank them as one of the best.

The wings are delicious! This place has traditional and crazy good homemade sauces. The wings are smaller, but that is because they are from Red Bird farms (not chock full of hormones). The queso is alright, the chips are delicious. I wouldn't go to this place all the time, but on occasion. The wings are a bit pricey. But if I'm going to eat wings, it is going to be from Fire on the Mountain from now on.

Came to this place while in town visiting a buddy and I was a really big fan. It is a small space but has very good design, some TVs for watching whatever programming they choose to show you (sports) and some outdoor seating for the more pleasant months. When we went it wasn't terribly busy but I would assume that it can be hopping at times, so keep that in mind. The staff was super nice and interacted well with us and which is a huge plus. They have a wide variety of sauces with a sampling tray at the front so you know what you want to get. I really liked being able to figure out what I wanted so it wasn't a gamble and you felt much more confident in your purchase. I went with the boneless wings, which were a very good size. I ordered the 3 boneless wings and when they came out, they deemed that one of the wings was "too small" and they brought me another. I wouldn't have complained in the first place but it was great to see them being proactive about treating their customers right. They also have a full bar, which is awesome. I come from Salt Lake City where the strict liquor laws prohibit such coolness, so I am easily impressed by that. That being said, if you are a fan of wings then this place is a must.

Okay- I only left off that last star because they are not smashing a slice of cheese cake between two toasty buns- That may even need a sixth star if they did though. Well, FOTM is close to my hood and definitely worth checking out. The main reasons for my four stars are the burgers. Big and Juicy. I love the one with the pineapple slapped on top. I order a Session brewski and some sweet tater fries and I am in high calorie heaven! The best part about this place is that they have put in major thought about contributing to an eco-friendly existence. They offer organic eats and recycle all your lefties as well. If you're looking for a neighborhood place that's buzzing and bustling like a burger joint should be, then stop in. The thirty something crowd isn't half bad to look at either. Chose bar-side seating, indoor table seating or a small outdoor patio that lets ya watch the quiet Highlands patrons cycle or walk by. If stuffing your face isn't enough for you, don't fret, these guys are located to numerous little shops and boutiques to meander through on a full stomach.

I happened in one cold night. Indifferent staff, which can be a good thing, but it didn't feel good this night. The wings were small and soggy, and the sauces that people rave about were just meh to me. I'd a given it 2-1/2 stars if I could. Maybe 3...2.... But really 2-1/2. (Didn't see the meh rating key!)

Jack M.

Great wings, great sauces, great beer on tap, fair prices, awesome happy hour, what more could you want? Staff is super chill and friendly, great vibes. I'll agree with some others saying prices for wings are a lil high, since some of the wings are small. But hey, they're high quality, and they let you sample all the sauces with celery sticks at the counter. Don't mind driving from Cheesman for these wings at all.

Chrissy S.

The staff is very friendly and helpful but the ordering system is confusing. The wings are on the small side and over sauced but the tator tots are awesom.

Liezl R.

As a new meat eater I really should experience more than chicken. The wings were small and mighty, thanks to their variety of sauces. I do like that they have vegetarian options if I ever decide to get back on that route. I had the jamaican jerk chicken salad and it delicious. A good portion too because I ended up sharing it. Celery sticks to help taste the sauces greet you at the counter. Smart.

Andy A.

How can you not love chicken wings?!? This little gem in the Highlands does wings like no one else. Whether you like traditional wings or boneless wings (my favorite), FOTM has a dozen sauce options to tempt your taste buds. The sweet BBQ is awesome and the spicy peanut is tasty and has some kick to it. Plus, they have a great beer selection and specials each day.

CJ D.

The service is awful. The portions are really small for the prices. One star for having many sauce choices and vegan wings. One star for the beer selection. Zero stars for anything else.

One of the meals I crave the most is a Buffalo Chicken Salad and they are typically hard to come by. I was thrilled that FOTM has an awesome Buffalo Chicken Salad on the menu. Of course we also had to order some wings, the spicy peanut sauce is so great (we took some home). Seriously, I LOVE that they are so generous with the wing sauce, it makes the meal. Bonus, they serve fresh hand cut fries and tots (even sweet potato). Don't forget to order the queso with your tots because really, that's where it's at. We didn't try burgers or a chicken sandwich, but every one that passed by our table looked fabulous and huge! Definitely going to try them next time. And in case you are looking to fulfill your craving with a vegetarian friend, they have seitan wings and many vegetarian options. I definitely appreciate their use of locally raised Red Bird Chicken. Kudos FOTM! Can't wait to return. Service was excellent and the place was very busy.

We ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with raspberry habanero and a standard barbecue burger. Both were delicious. The service was awesome. We sat at the bar and ordered waters, like the jerks we are, and the barkeep kept chatting us up, very friendly. The people who took our orders explained the place and the process, as it was our first time. Delicious food. Great service. Wonderful location. Prices: great. They win.

Jeffrey N.

I went with 3 stars only because I am so excited about a wing place in the neighborhood,. First off they have one of the most confusing ordering systems around. You order at a an undifined counter spot and then carry your own beers to your table, even though a waitress brings out your order and more beers if you like. Why not just go to all waiter service? Then the wings came out and if it wasn't for the sauce I would have thought they were putting a plate of toothpicks in front of me. I have no problem with small wings if it is reflected in the price but for a dollar a wing you need something with meat on the bones. You can be arrested in certain parts of the country for selling wings like that. The sauces all had a great flavor but tended to be on the thick side. Maybe they added flour or some other thickener? Nice beer selection with good happy hour prices helped to achieve the 3rd star.

Lara L.

Where do I start ..... The entire staff except for one person had questionable hygiene at best. This place is expensive for a neighborhood wing joint. I don't know how a self-serve eatery can charge full-service prices like this place and stay in business. I was excited to try a new wing place, I really enjoy good wings. I tried three different kinds of wings. The spicy peanut tasted like peanut butter, no spice and a very weak effort with no originality. The raspberry habanero literally tasted like watered down ketchup and cheap raspberry jelly, yuk! They were so bad i had to send them back. The barbecue was all sweet and no spice and you could tell they also watered it down. If you like good wings at a good price this is not the place.

Michael M.

Awww man, I love this place. I really like wings, period. The reason that this place is superior to your average wing place is that they have all their sauces in a sampling tray by the cash register, and they have blackboards in the bathroom. The beer list is great, and the servers know that people are going to be picking between more than a dozen sauces and they do decent 'crowd control,' like asking if you're ready to order and hinting subtly that the people behind you are. The place is also covered in original artwork, most of which is pretty cool, and all of which is for sale. Totally cosmetic, but I also like the blackboards in the bathroom. I like doodling, and usually (after I'm done washing my hands) I doodle something on their blackboards. I dunno, there is just something nice about a place with tasty wings, good beer and something to draw on, perfect for grown children.

Courtney R.

I like sauces, a lot. I like choices and dipping and mixing and finger licking. The chicken options at FOTM cover most options (although I would like to see a half roasted chicken?) and from one meat eater to the next vegan, the seitan wings are excellent. We also had a chicken sandwich with asian slaw which was great.

Kim R.

Hands down the best wings I have found in Denver! (And my family is from buffalo so I'm a wing snob). Great draft beer selection, lots of local and unique brews. Friendly staff. Very Eco-friendly business. And they serve their wings on frisbees, how fun is that?!
(5)
Lynn M.

Not only are the meals and drinks delicious, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. After my first time here, having an allergic reaction to their wing sauce (peanut allergy and one of their sauces is peanut based), they always make sure to take any sauce I want from the back where it has no chance of having contact with the peanut sauce. Very friendly and willing to chat with you to keep you company if you are alone, I will always visit when I have to be in Denver for work or pleasure (mostly work).

Alex B.

Awesome wings! Recommend ordering them bare with the sauces on the side to try all the flavors. Sweet potato fries are outstanding, and be sure to save room for deep fried Oreos, nutter butters, and twinkies!
(5)
Jessie E.

I love that they have the sauces out for you try, it's very helpful! Typical wing/deep fried everything place. Nothing stuck out that was exceptional. The wings are pretty tiny but good! I love that they are conscious about the environment and do a lot of recycling and composting there!

Love this place! Great addition to the neighborhood. The salads are yummy the sauces are truly scrumptious.

Darlene H.

I forgot to order the wings 'well done' but NO PROBLEM! Our order came out per-fect! and the three different sauces we tried were awesome! It was craft brew week but I imagine they always have a great selection anyway. Service was really cool by the fantastic staff, very laid back but super attentive for such a busy place.
(5)
Greg L.

I went expecting your standard wing place. I was pleasantly surprised. They delivered on great wings and allowed you to sample the sauces before you ordered. What put it over the top was locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, great craft beers, lots of TV's to watch the game and an extremely friendly and comfortable vibe. I will definitely be back to have a beer, some wings and watch a game soon.
(5)
Mark P.

Excellent new spot in NW Denver. The sauces are delicious with great variety of flavor and heat. I have been here twice for lunch time dining and though it has been busy neither time did it feel claustriphobic or tight inside. Didn't drink beer but seemed like a good selection and the patio is a great space. Just the kind of place that this area needed. Funny how some of the previous reviews complain about the other patrons and not finding enough of a 'Dead Head" connection. Lots of crunchy concert tickets and references to their musical tastes inside and if you don't like guys with beards maybe your living in the wrong time zone.
(5)
Mike S.

A little expensive but totally worth it. Fast service everytime I've been. My personal favorites are the chile lime and the raspberry habenero. My brothers and I go here almost everytime we decide to meet up for dinner in Denver. Check it out, I believe any true buffalo wing lover will have a good experience.
(4)
Andrew P.

I wish I 3.5 stars was an option and I really wanted to give 4, but this experience didn't even come close to what I had in Portland. While the wings were fried well and the sauces were good the wings were small. They attribute this to their "green" restaurant status....I couldn't taste the difference. Too far of a drive to come again.

Matty G.

I have to tell you that I am a wing connoisseur.. and a harsh critic. I went with a group on opening night. It was slammed! But after standing in line behind the counter I quickly realized why the line was so long. The staff was totally inept. I understand there might be difficulties the first night and all, but upon placing my order I cringed a few times when I had to repeat my order over and over to the guy fumbling with the computer screen. He just couldn't quite remember 9 piece wings, hot, tater tots, and a coke. I think it took about 3 times telling him before he got it. So we sat at our table for a while, trying to ignore that its taking forever to get our food, when someone who works there (our server maybe?) came and asked us if we need anything. Without trying to sound snarky, I said "our food!" He didnt know how to respond and mumbled something which maybe was a joke and walked off. I didnt feel comforted that we would get our wings any time soon. When the wings finally came they were pretty good. Not mind blowing, but good. Better than anywhere I've had so far in denver (and I've intentionally sought out a multitude of places to try their wings). The wings were on the small side. They were crispy... not soggy, which is great. The sauces were fine. The tater tots were great! I'm willing to give it another try once they get the service thing figured out. UPDATE: I met some friends there for lunch. There weren't very many people in the place. Service was a lot better. The wings seemed bigger. It still took a long time for the wings to get to the table. The wings were NOT crispy this time (which is the killer for me). Tater tots and onion rings were very good. So, it seems the only thing this place is consistent with is that it takes a long time to get your wings. I was really hoping to come back and bump the star level on this place. Nope. Solid two stars.

The wings and sandwiches and fries are fantastic. The sauces are fantastic. The beer is fantastic. The people are fantastic. The new patio is cute and the vibe is fun. It's not table service, so don't be surprised that you have to order at the counter. It's not fast food, enjoy your beer. And yes, it's highly likely that you'll be listening to jam bands while you devour delicious treats. I didn't go here when it first opened because I was mourning the departure of the best croissants in Denver (Generous Servings), but I'm so glad I gave in.

Bobby T.

Please let me clarify that this review ONLY covers my experience with the wings, nothing else. FOTM mainly advertises as a wing place, and so the the wings I sampled and experimented with. The POSITIVES!! What great and fantastic location. The place oozes with hip and exciting energy. The FOTM patio ranks highly for me, especially in the highlands area where real estate scarcity prevents most restaurants in having outdoor seating. If you pick a great night, t'would be hard to outshine hanging out with friends and or family on that patio. Inside, the restaurant maximizes it's space with creative seating and a bar with a few TV's. However, do not expect a Sports Column. This stands more like a neighborhood pub/grill than a sports bar. The service appeared fine to me, so no complaints here. The employees treated my party nicely and promptly. Lastly, they provide a great tasting station by the registers, allowing you to sample their ridiculously molten lava hot flavors. You decide whether you want to take your taste buds off line for a few hours, so be careful. Kid friendly. And I love the Chef statute standing outside. Actually took a pic with that guy. The Food Experience: I confess, I am a wimp, so I sampled a few of the milder flavors. A BBQ and Jamaican Jerk flavor split. I found them decent. The BBQ held a great balance of tartness and a sweetness. The JJ came across sugary, and okay on the seasoning, but no low-med spiciness that the JJ advertises. You have the option of ordering what count on wing portion you desire, however, the size of the wings themselves disappointed. The smaller sized wings left me a bit hungry, after i ordered a dozen. I sampled an order of fries as well, and they hinted a bit of sugar and salt which surprised me. Not sure I liked the fries. Just may need to sample them again to come to a conclusion. That being said, I will go to FOTM again. Been reading great reviews on their grill menu, so I hope to crank this score up a notch or two. :-)

Awesome wings. Had the raspberry habanero, bourbon chipotle, and buffalo lime cilantro. All were phenomenal. 10-12 great beers on tap and many more in bottle. Even though we live in the Springs, we'll be back. Only recommendation: bring in a garlic parm sauce!

Emily H.

FOTM has the best vegan wings in Denver and a great craft beer list. All of the staff are super helpful and friendly. It's a quintessential neighborhood joint that accommodates everyone, four-legged friends included.
(5)
Louis B.

This is absolutely not just the place to go for wings, but the place to go for everything. The whole staff is super friendly and the food is great. They have something like nine sauces, which can be overwhelming, but they have a station where you can try out each sauce so that you can make the right decision. As far as the wings go, there's no doubt they are expensive. $1 is definitely expensive, but even at Buffalo Wild Wings they're over $10 for a dozen, and these wings are all natural, cage-free, hormone free, etc. I could care less about that, but they just taste so good. Go here and you won't be disappointed.
(5)
Valerie L.

It's ok, but not great. My friends love to go here, and so I will oblige. I do like the wings, they are not breaded, fake, made out of some finely texturized processed meat product. They are good wings, of a good size, nicely prepared. They also have all the dipping sauces to try out at the front, and even when they try something I don't think I'll like, they pull it off quite well. Also, their blue cheese dressing is perfect. Just the right amount of blue cheese and creaminess. They also make a great lemonade. And for all that, it's worth 4-5 stars. But two things really rub me wrong. First of all the service. It can be anywhere from awesome, to ambivalent, to rude. If they are busy they get really flustered, and I think putting the self-serve beverages right next to the exit to the bar/kitchen area isn't really doing them any favors. I'm also not 100% sold on the cleanliness of this place. Last time I was in, we got some fried appetizers, and a bug made it's way into the breading, and finally onto my fried pickle. It was a bug of the ant variety, and it could have come from anything (even flour you buy from the store can have bugs), but it was generally gross. Anyhow, the prices are ok, not great $1 per wing, at least the wings are good. $10 for appetizers, but they were not as great.

Katie K.

Staff is super friendly, the wings are a bit smaller than an average wing, but that's because they are free-range chickens! The sauces are awesome! The sandwiches I have had were very tasty & the atmosphere is very chill. I highly recommend this eatery!

Graham H.

The flow of the restaurant does not work and that is frustrating for customers and the staff. So, you want me to order food at the counter, you will give me a number and deliver the food, that sounds good except...there is no where to sit down at, awkward!!! No where to sit, yet I have food...hmm? Oh, we have a place to sit at now and want a second beer. Do I go up to the counter and order another one or do I ask one of the foodrunner/bussers/servers that are walking around? The wings break down to a dollar a piece. Chomp, chomp, yup, the wing is gone for it's so tiny, it's cute in a pathetic way, which is unfortunate for the sauces are great! The El Efe, Buffalo Cilantro and hot are very tasty! I hope the logistics of the liquor license to serve tap beers and sit outside can be worked out for when you advertise that you are selling craft beers and for a man who has been hard at work all day and all you can think about is treating yourself to a tasty pint off the tap, yet a not so cold can beer is all you can serve. Yikes, we are at three strikes here folks. This place has potential. SERVE BIGGER WINGS NOT MORSELS for what you are charging! Get a liquor license for outside so we can sit on the patio and double the sitting room so we are not left standing in a crowd with food and no place to sit! Switch up the music! Play some Grateful Dead, you are called "Fire on the Mountain" for WSP, is good, but they are no GD! The WSP thing is boggling for me sometimes, I like a jam band, but my GOD, there are so many genres of amazing music nowadays, how could you limit yourself to just playing a good (not amazing) jam band constantly? We dropped $40 dollars, and felt guilty about for it wasn't an amazing experience. And my wife wanted to go to Hops and Pie or Ernies tonight, sorry honey, next time!

Kiersten S.

Went in today for the first time and had a good experience. Wings were flavorful. The spicy peanut sauce Is Yum! Buffalo chicken salad was tasty. They are not afraid to make the chicken very saucy. A little too much wing sauce for the salad for my liking but not for wings, perfect sauce application. Wings are small peeps because they are not full of hormones and steroids. If you want angry meat, go elsewhere. The thing that will bring me back over and over was the fish sandwich of my husbands, amazing! I wanted to steal it.The service was friendly and fast enough. We will be back.

Earth conscious eatery that satisfies my boyfriend's love of deep fried things and mine for protein and eating healthy...great for a quick dinner after a day at the park or biking around town :) yum!

Sean S.

The quality of chicken here was pretty much on par with your average bar wings. The problem with that is they "specialize" in wings. The wings were either over cooked or had been sitting under a heat lamp making them very dry and they had that nasty blue bone in them.

Joey V.

Well it good if you like small wings . Sauce were good but if I'm going to pay a buck a wing like them to be bigger than pigeon. Then got a fried Twinkie well couldn't tell what it was. well it wasn't cook all the way

Best wings in Denver! The sauce selection is awesome and wings are unbelievable. If you're not in the mood for wings, they have a diverse menu as well. Complimented with a great beer selection and great service, Fire On The Mountain is the best! Highly recommended!

Best wings in Denver, so glad this Portland institution came to Colorado. They have the best sauce selection and if you don't eat meat, their satan wings are delicious. The beer selection is always top notch and the patio is nice during warmer months.

Heather M.

My friends loved the lime-cilantro sauce (I opted for sweet BBQ because I am a baby when it comes to spice). Wings were good - pricier at $1/wing - but also better for you. I tried fried pickles for the first time and I didn't love them...not sure if was these particular ones or fried pickles in general. I did love the fried Oreos though :)
(4)
Janel T.

I have been to fire on the mountain over 20 times now, it is my favorite sandwich place in Denver by far. I love that they make all of their own sauces, my favorites sauces are the Jamaican Jerk, the spicy peanut and the seasonal pineapple express sauce. Another draw is that you can customize your sandwich to be mushroom, seitan, or a burger. Anytime that something has even gone slightly wrong with my order the staff always makes it up to me in every way. One time i tried their house made pumpkin vodka whiskey cider, it was AMAZING. A special thanks to Chris and the rest of the staff. What more can you ask for? Awesome vibes, friendly staff, Great location, fantastic customer service and who could forget the delicious sandwiches and sauces! Thinking about fire on the mountain makes me salivate and smile :) I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself, this is my favorite place to take friends for a quick bite, so far everyone has been extremely satisfied. Enjoy!

Angie L.

I do not know what else you'd want in a wing place! Let's start with the fact they allow you to sample all their sauces right when you walk in. The wings, sandwiches and tots that we had were great. Best of all, the owners are stewards of the environment. Along with composting and recycling, they use grass fed beef and locally sourced chicken. FOTM has a good vibe; it is a nice place to get a meal or watch a game. Try it out!
(5)
Leslie R.

As soon as I heard this place was opening in the Highlands I was stoked! I love wings and felt there really wasn't a decent wing place in Denver...until now! They will have great craft beers on draft and several delicious brews by the bottle. The cocktail list is also intriguing. I went here with the bf on Thursday, when they were supposed to open. They sadly were closed. However, the owner gave us a card which included a free basket of tots that we redeemed on Sunday evening. We were able to try all the sauces at the counter before deciding what to order. All of them were pretty amazing. We ordered 12 wings with two different sauces, Hot and Cilantro Lime, and a side of the sweet bbq and cajun tots. Hells Yeah! They were sooo tasty! I'm already planning my next visit. For those who like the wings that are big because they are pumped with horomones, you won't like these. These wings are small because the chickens are free range and horomone free. Six wings with some tots were plenty for me. They were crispy and delicious. The restaurant is very green. You get a discount for walking or biking there, most items are recycled or composted. Next time I'm trying the Raspberry Habanero and Spicy Peanut.

Wings we're quite good, but the prices sucked and the wings were tiny. On the website it says they add 8% for "eco-friendly" to go packaging, well mine was wrapped up in tin foil...smells like BS

Joseph B.

Ate their last night. Fried pickle spears...yum! Crisp and delicious. Fries were nicely seasoned. They don't have their full liquor license yet so no beer on tap yet but they do have a good selection of bottles. They have their sauces available to taste before ordering at the counter. The Raspberry Habenaro was a good mix of sweet and spicy. The El Heffe is the hottest and the sauce is very tasty but more than six and it will bite you. The Honey BBQ sauce is a great choice for kids. Friend had the portebello mushroom sandwich. Looked good. Place also has salads, fried twinkies and onion rings.

Jacalyn Y.

This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Usually, a wing place is not our first choice for dinner, but it is now. We ordered the medium sauce boneless chicken with hand cut fries. It was a busy Thursday night, but we snagged a table before our food was ready. Nice and thick sauce coating the chicken and the fries were seasoned perfectly. I saw some great looking salads walk by and next time that will be what I order. The owners spoke to the neighborhood association and presented their plan and it definitely surpassed our expectations.
(5)
Esther H.

The wings here did not disappoint. In the order of my preference: spicy peanut (so good I bought a btl of the sauce to take home), hot, Jamaican jerk and the raspberry habanero. There was a mix-up with our order ticket, and the GM/owner instantly resolved the situation including comping our food and a round of beers. Waitstaff were friendly and helpful. All I can say is I know I will be craving wings from here; I wish we had one of these at home.
(5)
Camille B.

love love love it!!! I am not really into hot wings, but my kids go crazy for them here at Fire on the Mountain. Then the rest of the menu is where its at for me. You can get a healthy and interesting vegetarian meal here, or you can ruin your diet and give your senses something to feel good about too! The fried mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese are RIGHTEOUS! And the sandwiches and burgers kill it. I think the kids and I will have wing night on Thursday night from now on.

Oh thank the heavens for Fire on the Mountain! This menu is going to be clutch for me this coming winter - warm my belly! I love condiments, so the 10+ sauces you get to choose from is brilliant! I love how you get to sample all the sauces at the counter before making that very important decision. It was difficult to decide, because their sauces are all amazing (although I didn't try the Jefe sauce which I hear is so spicy I would probably breathe fire and die) I ended up with the Bourbon Chipotle; sweet, smoky, and packed good heat. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, with seitan instead of "real" chicken. Let me tell you, HANDS DOWN it is the best sandwich I have ever had. All the fixins were fresh and delish, but that bread they use sealed the deal. The bread is so fluffy and delicious, it soaks up the sauces perfectly and squishes down quite nicely so I could fit that ginormous sandwich into my mouth. I can't begin to describe how amazing it is. The fries on the side were super good - sweet and salty with the skins on - my favorite style. The place was packed, but the service was still fast and friendly. I sat at the bar and had an amazing cocktail called a "New Fashioned" - Fireball cinnamon whiskey, Naked apple juice, and orange. It was so kick ass I ended up having 3. HA! I noticed they have an eclectic and impressive beer selection as well. I also want to add that as a vegetarian, this place is awesome. One, they offer (delicious) seitan as a substitute for all their menu items for no charge! I swear to god, my peeve is all restaurants charge $1.00 or $2.00 extra for substituting a vegetarian option. It's like punishment for being a veggie. But Fire on the Mountain treats "us" equally, which is refreshing and validating. ;) Give it a try y'all!

Good ambiance/service/beer/sauces BUT these wings need more MEAT on them! I don't care if they are organic/free range/triathalon running chickens I want some meat on the bone! Otherwise, a very good spot.

Very disappointing. We were excited to get wings to enjoy while watching football and what we got fell short of what we expected.. The wings are some of the smallest wings I have ever seen. The food was overpriced, an I got an $11 burger that was overcooked and had little flavor. The wings are almost a dollar each and they were small and the sauces were mediocre. We tried 5 different sauces and only a couple of them had good flavor. You would expect a wing joint to have huge juicy wings that are slathered in succulent sauce. These wings were shriveled up and dry. The sweet potato tots were good.

Cute little place with full bar in the Highlands. My boyfriend had the medium wings and I had an order of the raspberry habenero wings and we talked about them for days afterward. Very tasty sauces and wings were cooked just right. As other people have mentioned, the wings are on the small side but I kind of prefer that since you get more crispy saucy goodness. We will be back.

I'll admit it: there may be nothing I love more, including diamonds, ponies, and things I might get kicked off this site for mentioning, than sauce. Luckily for me, there's Fire on the Mountain. I lived in Portland for much of my adult life, and the East Burnside location kept me in my fried pickle fix as long as I needed it (hello, law school), and it was one of the losses I mourned when I moved home to Denver. In one of those magic moments that makes life worth living, I discovered last week on the drive home that we suddenly have a surprise Denver location a whole 8 blocks from my house. I managed to get my bf there for late lunch today, and Craig and the Denver crew more than lived up to my excited expectations. We received a warm welcome, a friendly chat about the Portland locations, zero wait, and enough sauce to shake a stick at. My bf still prefers the wings in his hometown, but said that the lime cilantro and mild sauces were very tasty. My favorite, the bourbon chipotle, is perfect as ever, and my favorite favorite, the fried pickles, are actually *even better* than they are in Portland. Maybe it's the lovely patio, the early summer weather, or the fact that I'm in love with my lunch date, but very little could have made me happier today.

My companion and I decided to give this pace a whirl because we live close by, it was raining, and we love wings. The service was really friendly, and the thing I love most is there sauce/celery taster at the register. Most of their sauces are gluten free, with a couple exceptions so ask ahead. It is pretty neat to be able to try before you buy, because spice is subjective. With that, we ordered the lime/cilantro, mild, and sweet barbecue. I also ordered a side of hot sauce because i figured I could spice up my wings without killing her. We also ordered a sie salad with dressing, trying to balance the wings with some greens. I will probably go with with the chicken salad next time, the greens we plentiful and yummy. Also, they are a green restaurant, which means they compost and recycle. And if you human transport yourself there, they give you 5% off your meal. What What! They also have dry cucumber soda I really wanna try. We will be back for sure.

i have to admit, the staff at fire on the mountain is super friendly, outgoing and loves to drink beer! we have been there twice now... and have tried all of the appetizers: fried pickles, sweet potato and regular fries, tots, fried mushrooms, etc. they use a fantastic breading for the pickles, and what seems like more of a tempura for the mushrooms. the food has always come out quickly and hot (i mean, it's FRIED for goodness sakes!), and the staff has never failed to deliver anything and everything we have needed at the moment. the array of wing sauces are pretty extra-ordinary. you can sample all of them at the register just in case you need to know how much spice you're getting into before you order. the wings themselves are pretty small, but definitely flavorful and tender. i highly recommend the cilantro-lime and ghost pepper sauces... delicious! the only sub-optimal experience we have had at FOTM occurred when closing out our tab late-night. the staff was already pretty drunk on their double-IPA from arrogant bastard and ran our credit card when we specifically asked to pay with cash instead. not a huge deal, but we still expect the service we had asked for. it would be a much more enjoyable experience if the staff took orders table-side instead of at the register. they do such a great job of making sure you have everything that you need, so why make a guest order at the register instead of providing the full dining experience? one last final critique... they need to find a way to dim the lights in the main dining space adjacent to the bar/ register for late night service. it seems like a warehouse in there! dim the lights and provide table-side service... then you get 5 stars

This place has great sauce options. Perhaps the best I've had (better than BWW)! However, the wings themselves are awful. They are TINY and possibly the smallest wings I've had at any establishment. At a cost of roughly $1 per wing, based on the size of the wings, this place is a total ripoff.
(1)
KP H.

We were so excited to have a wing place in the hood and overall fairly pleased with our meal. The sauces are good (the hot and chipotle bourbon taste very similar though), the wings are prepared well and the onion rings were great! We will definitely be trying this again. The only reason we can't give them a 5 star rating is the size of those wings...damn they are SMALL! Every wing place in town should be required to go to Vine St. and see what a real wing should look like before they start serving. Give me some meat on that bone!

Leslie G.

At the counter, prior to ordering, there is a tray with all the wing sauces and little celery slices. From there, I was hooked! I am not a huge fan of wings, but I do love the sauce and so I ordered the boneless style and can't complain, though after reading a few reviews I will try the veggie wings next time. I was excited to see tots on the menu and these tots are legit! The staff was friendly and pleasant. Good placement of t.v.'s for those lucky ones who can find a table and good selection of bottled/canned beers. I probably would have given 4 stars but last night, my husband picked up wings to go for his dinner. All of the to go products are recyclable/compostable. I sincerely appreciate the green initiative and that's what made them a 5 star establishment for me. Great addition to 32nd street, we will definitely be repeat customers!

Great wings, sweet beer selection, and a sauce for every type of taste bud. Side note: You know what you should stop doing, fellow Yelpers? Complaining about the Highlands neighborhood being full of people who you instantaneously dislike based on the presence of any of the following: beards, tattoos, a PBR in their hand, square (nerdy) glasses, and/or skinny jeans. Yeah, us Highlanders appreciate places like FOTM because they compost, source their food responsibly, and value conservation. How does that negatively impact anyone? If you are going to be pissed off about paying $17 for (awesome) wings, stick to whatever hole in Denver you came out of in the first place because We. Don't. Want you. Now go back to playing with your pure-bred whatever-the-hell-dog you didn't get from a shelter and eating your hormone saturated meat while scrolling blogs supporting Mitt Romney and leave us in peace. Thank you FOTM for realizing that most people are willing to pay a fair price to ensure that our food was treated ethically before it ended up on our plates and will be disposed of responsibly once we are done.

Food: A. The Sauces The sauces at FOTM are freaking fantastic. I had raspberry habanero, extra hot, and the fiery peanut. All three were delicious, some of the best sauce that I've ever had on wings. It was complex, peppery, and the heat was delicious without cheating by adding capsaicin powder to the sauces. Unfortunately: B. The wings I would hate to see the chickens that these wings came from. Scrawny doesn't begin to describe the wings here. Anemic, pathetic, sad, disappointing, THOSE are the adjectives I would use to describe the wings at FOTM. I had a wing that was the smallest wing I had ever seen in my entire life. There were none that I would qualify as large (for a Buffalo wing). Price: FOTM is the most expensive I have ever seen for Buffalo wings - which are SUPPOSED to be cheap bar food. They aren't here. Buffalo wings were invented at the Anchor bar because there were scraps laying around and its what they came up with. Here, 6 wings are $6. 18 wings were $16.50. That is expensive, ESPECIALLY given how pathetic the wings are. I had 9 wings and I was starving afterwards. It had less meat than a 4 piece chicken mcnugget. Service: It's not fair to judge a restaurant that has been open for 2 days on service, but I will tell you that it was awful, and that it wasn't opening day problems. There is no captain in the restaurant - and one of the owners that I saw there did NOT appear to care that there were people waiting for take-out food for over 20 minutes - for freaking wings no less - AT A WINGS PLACE. Someone else who was perhaps a bartender, perhaps a manager? Spent MOST of my wait time shoving food into his face at the bar, but in his defense he did indeed check to see where the mother F my food was. So, that guy gets points whereas the owner gets 0 points for not even caring. Clientele: I PROBABLY should not go to a place smack dab in the highlands and be upset by hipsters and thousandaires - but I was. So, if you are super turned off by dudes in beards and ironic t-shirts (Oh look, you're 33 and you're wearing a high school t-shirt! Oh and a beard! [Side note: What kind of jobs allow people to have beards? Is EVERYONE here in the creative industry? Music? Food service?]). It was 60/40 dudes with beards to dudes without. If you don't want to get your food in a scene, this isn't the place for you. Conclusions: Barring some sort of happy hour special I won't be back, The sauces are fantastic but it's an AWFUL value. Wing Stop is cheaper with equivalently delicious wings. It would be a fun place to eat with 5-6 other people and sit on the patio if they ever allow beer on it.

I rode by FOTM the other day on my bike ride from Downtown to Lookout Mountain. Seeing a place dedicated for hot wings made me pedal just a little harder knowing I was going to try them in the next 48 hours. Stopped in for lunch today and ordered the raspberry habanero and spicy peanut wings. Both were awesome. Not as spicy as I really was hoping for but I know what to get next time. FACT: They have a tray of all the sauces up at the front counter for you to try with celery sticks. I had to try the El Jefe and was blown away by it. I might try 3 wings in that flavor next time. The taste lingered for about 10 minutes and boy was it good. They have a great happy hour special pricing on beer for pitchers. This might be my new spot to catch an early football game. None the less I can't wait to go back. Service was top notch!

Lauren X.

TERRIBLE!!!! My husband threw up for an hour after eating their spicy peanut wings. I would put no stars if I could. My husband and I decided to try this new wing spot today. We ordered a small order of wings to-go. After waiting 30 minutes we had to go up to the counter to ask if they remembered our order. He ate the spicy peanut wings ( I thought they tasted off, and only had one bite). After we returned home he had stomach pain for 30 minutes then threw up for an hour. I will never eat at Fire on the Mountain again.

This is my favorite spot in Denver for wings, hands down! They not only have a great selection of sauces, but all of their chicken is hormone free, free range chicken. Beyond their wings; the fried pickles are a must try along with their fries. Plus they have a great selection of craft beers from around the state. Must try!

Jeffrey E.

What I had? Medium and Lime Cilantro chicken wings, tater tots, and fried Twinkie Food review: Started out with the tater tots. First of all, the tater tots alone with no sauce tasted unusually good. It was made doubly so when a coworker of mine found that they have banana ketchup. Yayy! :-) Then went on to the wings. Both flavors of wings were quite good but I think I like the lime cilantro a little better. I think next time I can go with the Hot over the medium as well. Finished my lunch off with a crazy delicious fried twinkie. Oh my gooodness... amazing! Service? No complaints Other thoughts: Nice little patio area. In retrospect, I would have liked to have ordered 6 wings at a time instead of all 12 like I did this time. 2nd half was a little cold by the time I got to them.

Jenn S.

At Fire on the Mountain I finally got to try my first fried Twinkie and yes, it was all that I hoped it would be. On my next visit I will go for the fried Oreo. After another fabulous meal of course. Given that I am not a wing person - I grew up in Utah, it's beyond my control - I went for a chicken salad. Delish and properly made to order. It was a tad spicy for my taste but again, my taste is bland, bland, bland, and I loved getting to sample the sauces before ordering. Fun and friendly service and setting.

Tara G.

Fun place to go for good food. I will admit I did not get chicken wings, so maybe I would have given it 4 stars if I tried their specialty. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It's was good, but not the best I've had. They had a great beer selection though. I would go back again and try the wings.

R. L.

I love a good cold beer and some good wings. With that qualifier, this place should rock n' roll. It does, but with a price. Being in the hood, it was cool to see a good beer n' wings place open to add to the variety in town. On first visit, just fantastic wings. I mean really, really good wings. I believe locally sourced high quality chicks cooked well with 12 sauces to choose from it was good. What I didn't do, was pay that visit, my father did. Just returning not 15 minutes ago from my second visit. Again, great food. Can't complain at all, matter of fact, will only say really good food. Problem I have is this. 1 plate of wings (18) + side of fries 3 Coors light 1 Wynkoop beer $51 including tip. Now, I don't mind paying for good food, but that seemed a little high for me. The culprit were $5 Coors lights (in bottles no less). On a Friday afternoon. Feel a little ripped off to tell the truth and it will be a very long time before I visit again, sadly. They really do have great wings and sauces. :(

Lodore B.

These wings are still amazing but they are definitely NOT CHEAP! At a buck a wing they're some of the most expensive but the sauces (I'm in love with the "hot,") are amazing. It could break your bank but they're still the best wings.

S B.

Goddamn delicious. No other way to put it. On the pricier side but total quality and heaping portions. Tremendous beer selection, cool atmosphere, and righteous tunes. I'm not always in this part of town, but when I am I'm eating at Fire on the Mountain.

Keith N.

I was excited when I learned there was a new craft beer restaurant opening up 8 blocks from my house. I was even MORE excited when I learned they would be featuring chicken wings with an array of sauce options. After trying it, I was disappointed when I didn't fall in love. Seating: Medium-small. Service: Friendly enough. Ambiance: Brighter than the sun viewed through a telescope. Oh and I was expecting some kind of Grateful Dead decor in relation to the name... none that I could see. Sorry hippies. Location: Awesome Wings: They taste like chicken, but they very well could be hummingbird. A buck a wing is a little steep for hummingbird. Sauces: Mostly good. El Jefe may have done semi-permanent damage to my esophagus. Beers: No drafts yet. Decent selection of cans/bottles. Patrons: See Matthew B.'s review on clientele... hysterical. Overall a C+ to a business that just started out. You can count on me checking in again... especially when they get the taps up and running.

Theresa C.

Love this place AND I don't eat meat. I love their sauces (esp the sweet BBQ and spicy peanut) and the seitan wings give me the opportunity to have the wing experience without eating chicken. My favorite meal is the portobello mushroom sandwich, its not over seasoned or sauced, is on a soft bun, and is just delicious. They always have great beers on tap and drink specials. Great spot to watch games.

Tim K.

I guess people have been so tainted by hormone fed chicken that when they see chicken free of this stuff they are shocked by how small the wings, breasts, etc are. But this is how our food is meant to be. Anyways, love the wings here. Have had a positive experience with staff and service. I've been to almost every wing place in Denver, and rank them as one of the best.

april n.

The wings are delicious! This place has traditional and crazy good homemade sauces. The wings are smaller, but that is because they are from Red Bird farms (not chock full of hormones). The queso is alright, the chips are delicious. I wouldn't go to this place all the time, but on occasion. The wings are a bit pricey. But if I'm going to eat wings, it is going to be from Fire on the Mountain from now on.

Came to this place while in town visiting a buddy and I was a really big fan. It is a small space but has very good design, some TVs for watching whatever programming they choose to show you (sports) and some outdoor seating for the more pleasant months. When we went it wasn't terribly busy but I would assume that it can be hopping at times, so keep that in mind. The staff was super nice and interacted well with us and which is a huge plus. They have a wide variety of sauces with a sampling tray at the front so you know what you want to get. I really liked being able to figure out what I wanted so it wasn't a gamble and you felt much more confident in your purchase. I went with the boneless wings, which were a very good size. I ordered the 3 boneless wings and when they came out, they deemed that one of the wings was "too small" and they brought me another. I wouldn't have complained in the first place but it was great to see them being proactive about treating their customers right. They also have a full bar, which is awesome. I come from Salt Lake City where the strict liquor laws prohibit such coolness, so I am easily impressed by that. That being said, if you are a fan of wings then this place is a must.

Okay- I only left off that last star because they are not smashing a slice of cheese cake between two toasty buns- That may even need a sixth star if they did though. Well, FOTM is close to my hood and definitely worth checking out. The main reasons for my four stars are the burgers. Big and Juicy. I love the one with the pineapple slapped on top. I order a Session brewski and some sweet tater fries and I am in high calorie heaven! The best part about this place is that they have put in major thought about contributing to an eco-friendly existence. They offer organic eats and recycle all your lefties as well. If you're looking for a neighborhood place that's buzzing and bustling like a burger joint should be, then stop in. The thirty something crowd isn't half bad to look at either. Chose bar-side seating, indoor table seating or a small outdoor patio that lets ya watch the quiet Highlands patrons cycle or walk by. If stuffing your face isn't enough for you, don't fret, these guys are located to numerous little shops and boutiques to meander through on a full stomach.

I happened in one cold night. Indifferent staff, which can be a good thing, but it didn't feel good this night. The wings were small and soggy, and the sauces that people rave about were just meh to me. I'd a given it 2-1/2 stars if I could. Maybe 3...2.... But really 2-1/2. (Didn't see the meh rating key!)

Jack M.

Great wings, great sauces, great beer on tap, fair prices, awesome happy hour, what more could you want? Staff is super chill and friendly, great vibes. I'll agree with some others saying prices for wings are a lil high, since some of the wings are small. But hey, they're high quality, and they let you sample all the sauces with celery sticks at the counter. Don't mind driving from Cheesman for these wings at all.

The staff is very friendly and helpful but the ordering system is confusing. The wings are on the small side and over sauced but the tator tots are awesom.

Liezl R.

As a new meat eater I really should experience more than chicken. The wings were small and mighty, thanks to their variety of sauces. I do like that they have vegetarian options if I ever decide to get back on that route. I had the jamaican jerk chicken salad and it delicious. A good portion too because I ended up sharing it. Celery sticks to help taste the sauces greet you at the counter. Smart.
(3)
Andy A.

How can you not love chicken wings?!? This little gem in the Highlands does wings like no one else. Whether you like traditional wings or boneless wings (my favorite), FOTM has a dozen sauce options to tempt your taste buds. The sweet BBQ is awesome and the spicy peanut is tasty and has some kick to it. Plus, they have a great beer selection and specials each day.

CJ D.

The service is awful. The portions are really small for the prices. One star for having many sauce choices and vegan wings. One star for the beer selection. Zero stars for anything else.

D H.

One of the meals I crave the most is a Buffalo Chicken Salad and they are typically hard to come by. I was thrilled that FOTM has an awesome Buffalo Chicken Salad on the menu. Of course we also had to order some wings, the spicy peanut sauce is so great (we took some home). Seriously, I LOVE that they are so generous with the wing sauce, it makes the meal. Bonus, they serve fresh hand cut fries and tots (even sweet potato). Don't forget to order the queso with your tots because really, that's where it's at. We didn't try burgers or a chicken sandwich, but every one that passed by our table looked fabulous and huge! Definitely going to try them next time. And in case you are looking to fulfill your craving with a vegetarian friend, they have seitan wings and many vegetarian options. I definitely appreciate their use of locally raised Red Bird Chicken. Kudos FOTM! Can't wait to return. Service was excellent and the place was very busy.

Gwen E.

We ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with raspberry habanero and a standard barbecue burger. Both were delicious. The service was awesome. We sat at the bar and ordered waters, like the jerks we are, and the barkeep kept chatting us up, very friendly. The people who took our orders explained the place and the process, as it was our first time. Delicious food. Great service. Wonderful location. Prices: great. They win.

Jeffrey N.

I went with 3 stars only because I am so excited about a wing place in the neighborhood,. First off they have one of the most confusing ordering systems around. You order at a an undifined counter spot and then carry your own beers to your table, even though a waitress brings out your order and more beers if you like. Why not just go to all waiter service? Then the wings came out and if it wasn't for the sauce I would have thought they were putting a plate of toothpicks in front of me. I have no problem with small wings if it is reflected in the price but for a dollar a wing you need something with meat on the bones. You can be arrested in certain parts of the country for selling wings like that. The sauces all had a great flavor but tended to be on the thick side. Maybe they added flour or some other thickener? Nice beer selection with good happy hour prices helped to achieve the 3rd star.
(3)
Lara L.

Where do I start ..... The entire staff except for one person had questionable hygiene at best. This place is expensive for a neighborhood wing joint. I don't know how a self-serve eatery can charge full-service prices like this place and stay in business. I was excited to try a new wing place, I really enjoy good wings. I tried three different kinds of wings. The spicy peanut tasted like peanut butter, no spice and a very weak effort with no originality. The raspberry habanero literally tasted like watered down ketchup and cheap raspberry jelly, yuk! They were so bad i had to send them back. The barbecue was all sweet and no spice and you could tell they also watered it down. If you like good wings at a good price this is not the place.
(1)
Michael M.

Awww man, I love this place. I really like wings, period. The reason that this place is superior to your average wing place is that they have all their sauces in a sampling tray by the cash register, and they have blackboards in the bathroom. The beer list is great, and the servers know that people are going to be picking between more than a dozen sauces and they do decent 'crowd control,' like asking if you're ready to order and hinting subtly that the people behind you are. The place is also covered in original artwork, most of which is pretty cool, and all of which is for sale. Totally cosmetic, but I also like the blackboards in the bathroom. I like doodling, and usually (after I'm done washing my hands) I doodle something on their blackboards. I dunno, there is just something nice about a place with tasty wings, good beer and something to draw on, perfect for grown children.
(5)
Courtney R.

I like sauces, a lot. I like choices and dipping and mixing and finger licking. The chicken options at FOTM cover most options (although I would like to see a half roasted chicken?) and from one meat eater to the next vegan, the seitan wings are excellent. We also had a chicken sandwich with asian slaw which was great.
(4)
Kim R.

Hands down the best wings I have found in Denver! (And my family is from buffalo so I'm a wing snob). Great draft beer selection, lots of local and unique brews. Friendly staff. Very Eco-friendly business. And they serve their wings on frisbees, how fun is that?!
(5)
Lynn M.

Not only are the meals and drinks delicious, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. After my first time here, having an allergic reaction to their wing sauce (peanut allergy and one of their sauces is peanut based), they always make sure to take any sauce I want from the back where it has no chance of having contact with the peanut sauce. Very friendly and willing to chat with you to keep you company if you are alone, I will always visit when I have to be in Denver for work or pleasure (mostly work).

Alex B.

Awesome wings! Recommend ordering them bare with the sauces on the side to try all the flavors. Sweet potato fries are outstanding, and be sure to save room for deep fried Oreos, nutter butters, and twinkies!
(5)
Jessie E.

I love that they have the sauces out for you try, it's very helpful! Typical wing/deep fried everything place. Nothing stuck out that was exceptional. The wings are pretty tiny but good! I love that they are conscious about the environment and do a lot of recycling and composting there!

I forgot to order the wings 'well done' but NO PROBLEM! Our order came out per-fect! and the three different sauces we tried were awesome! It was craft brew week but I imagine they always have a great selection anyway. Service was really cool by the fantastic staff, very laid back but super attentive for such a busy place.
(5)
Greg L.

I went expecting your standard wing place. I was pleasantly surprised. They delivered on great wings and allowed you to sample the sauces before you ordered. What put it over the top was locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, great craft beers, lots of TV's to watch the game and an extremely friendly and comfortable vibe. I will definitely be back to have a beer, some wings and watch a game soon.
(5)
Mark P.

Excellent new spot in NW Denver. The sauces are delicious with great variety of flavor and heat. I have been here twice for lunch time dining and though it has been busy neither time did it feel claustriphobic or tight inside. Didn't drink beer but seemed like a good selection and the patio is a great space. Just the kind of place that this area needed. Funny how some of the previous reviews complain about the other patrons and not finding enough of a 'Dead Head" connection. Lots of crunchy concert tickets and references to their musical tastes inside and if you don't like guys with beards maybe your living in the wrong time zone.
(5)
Mike S.

A little expensive but totally worth it. Fast service everytime I've been. My personal favorites are the chile lime and the raspberry habenero. My brothers and I go here almost everytime we decide to meet up for dinner in Denver. Check it out, I believe any true buffalo wing lover will have a good experience.

Andrew P.

I wish I 3.5 stars was an option and I really wanted to give 4, but this experience didn't even come close to what I had in Portland. While the wings were fried well and the sauces were good the wings were small. They attribute this to their "green" restaurant status....I couldn't taste the difference. Too far of a drive to come again.

Matty G.

I have to tell you that I am a wing connoisseur.. and a harsh critic. I went with a group on opening night. It was slammed! But after standing in line behind the counter I quickly realized why the line was so long. The staff was totally inept. I understand there might be difficulties the first night and all, but upon placing my order I cringed a few times when I had to repeat my order over and over to the guy fumbling with the computer screen. He just couldn't quite remember 9 piece wings, hot, tater tots, and a coke. I think it took about 3 times telling him before he got it. So we sat at our table for a while, trying to ignore that its taking forever to get our food, when someone who works there (our server maybe?) came and asked us if we need anything. Without trying to sound snarky, I said "our food!" He didnt know how to respond and mumbled something which maybe was a joke and walked off. I didnt feel comforted that we would get our wings any time soon. When the wings finally came they were pretty good. Not mind blowing, but good. Better than anywhere I've had so far in denver (and I've intentionally sought out a multitude of places to try their wings). The wings were on the small side. They were crispy... not soggy, which is great. The sauces were fine. The tater tots were great! I'm willing to give it another try once they get the service thing figured out. UPDATE: I met some friends there for lunch. There weren't very many people in the place. Service was a lot better. The wings seemed bigger. It still took a long time for the wings to get to the table. The wings were NOT crispy this time (which is the killer for me). Tater tots and onion rings were very good. So, it seems the only thing this place is consistent with is that it takes a long time to get your wings. I was really hoping to come back and bump the star level on this place. Nope. Solid two stars.

walter t.

The wings and sandwiches and fries are fantastic. The sauces are fantastic. The beer is fantastic. The people are fantastic. The new patio is cute and the vibe is fun. It's not table service, so don't be surprised that you have to order at the counter. It's not fast food, enjoy your beer. And yes, it's highly likely that you'll be listening to jam bands while you devour delicious treats. I didn't go here when it first opened because I was mourning the departure of the best croissants in Denver (Generous Servings), but I'm so glad I gave in.

Bobby T.

Please let me clarify that this review ONLY covers my experience with the wings, nothing else. FOTM mainly advertises as a wing place, and so the the wings I sampled and experimented with. The POSITIVES!! What great and fantastic location. The place oozes with hip and exciting energy. The FOTM patio ranks highly for me, especially in the highlands area where real estate scarcity prevents most restaurants in having outdoor seating. If you pick a great night, t'would be hard to outshine hanging out with friends and or family on that patio. Inside, the restaurant maximizes it's space with creative seating and a bar with a few TV's. However, do not expect a Sports Column. This stands more like a neighborhood pub/grill than a sports bar. The service appeared fine to me, so no complaints here. The employees treated my party nicely and promptly. Lastly, they provide a great tasting station by the registers, allowing you to sample their ridiculously molten lava hot flavors. You decide whether you want to take your taste buds off line for a few hours, so be careful. Kid friendly. And I love the Chef statute standing outside. Actually took a pic with that guy. The Food Experience: I confess, I am a wimp, so I sampled a few of the milder flavors. A BBQ and Jamaican Jerk flavor split. I found them decent. The BBQ held a great balance of tartness and a sweetness. The JJ came across sugary, and okay on the seasoning, but no low-med spiciness that the JJ advertises. You have the option of ordering what count on wing portion you desire, however, the size of the wings themselves disappointed. The smaller sized wings left me a bit hungry, after i ordered a dozen. I sampled an order of fries as well, and they hinted a bit of sugar and salt which surprised me. Not sure I liked the fries. Just may need to sample them again to come to a conclusion. That being said, I will go to FOTM again. Been reading great reviews on their grill menu, so I hope to crank this score up a notch or two. :-)

Awesome wings. Had the raspberry habanero, bourbon chipotle, and buffalo lime cilantro. All were phenomenal. 10-12 great beers on tap and many more in bottle. Even though we live in the Springs, we'll be back. Only recommendation: bring in a garlic parm sauce!

FOTM has the best vegan wings in Denver and a great craft beer list. All of the staff are super helpful and friendly. It's a quintessential neighborhood joint that accommodates everyone, four-legged friends included.

This is absolutely not just the place to go for wings, but the place to go for everything. The whole staff is super friendly and the food is great. They have something like nine sauces, which can be overwhelming, but they have a station where you can try out each sauce so that you can make the right decision. As far as the wings go, there's no doubt they are expensive. $1 is definitely expensive, but even at Buffalo Wild Wings they're over $10 for a dozen, and these wings are all natural, cage-free, hormone free, etc. I could care less about that, but they just taste so good. Go here and you won't be disappointed.

It's ok, but not great. My friends love to go here, and so I will oblige. I do like the wings, they are not breaded, fake, made out of some finely texturized processed meat product. They are good wings, of a good size, nicely prepared. They also have all the dipping sauces to try out at the front, and even when they try something I don't think I'll like, they pull it off quite well. Also, their blue cheese dressing is perfect. Just the right amount of blue cheese and creaminess. They also make a great lemonade. And for all that, it's worth 4-5 stars. But two things really rub me wrong. First of all the service. It can be anywhere from awesome, to ambivalent, to rude. If they are busy they get really flustered, and I think putting the self-serve beverages right next to the exit to the bar/kitchen area isn't really doing them any favors. I'm also not 100% sold on the cleanliness of this place. Last time I was in, we got some fried appetizers, and a bug made it's way into the breading, and finally onto my fried pickle. It was a bug of the ant variety, and it could have come from anything (even flour you buy from the store can have bugs), but it was generally gross. Anyhow, the prices are ok, not great $1 per wing, at least the wings are good. $10 for appetizers, but they were not as great.

Staff is super friendly, the wings are a bit smaller than an average wing, but that's because they are free-range chickens! The sauces are awesome! The sandwiches I have had were very tasty & the atmosphere is very chill. I highly recommend this eatery!

The flow of the restaurant does not work and that is frustrating for customers and the staff. So, you want me to order food at the counter, you will give me a number and deliver the food, that sounds good except...there is no where to sit down at, awkward!!! No where to sit, yet I have food...hmm? Oh, we have a place to sit at now and want a second beer. Do I go up to the counter and order another one or do I ask one of the foodrunner/bussers/servers that are walking around? The wings break down to a dollar a piece. Chomp, chomp, yup, the wing is gone for it's so tiny, it's cute in a pathetic way, which is unfortunate for the sauces are great! The El Efe, Buffalo Cilantro and hot are very tasty! I hope the logistics of the liquor license to serve tap beers and sit outside can be worked out for when you advertise that you are selling craft beers and for a man who has been hard at work all day and all you can think about is treating yourself to a tasty pint off the tap, yet a not so cold can beer is all you can serve. Yikes, we are at three strikes here folks. This place has potential. SERVE BIGGER WINGS NOT MORSELS for what you are charging! Get a liquor license for outside so we can sit on the patio and double the sitting room so we are not left standing in a crowd with food and no place to sit! Switch up the music! Play some Grateful Dead, you are called "Fire on the Mountain" for WSP, is good, but they are no GD! The WSP thing is boggling for me sometimes, I like a jam band, but my GOD, there are so many genres of amazing music nowadays, how could you limit yourself to just playing a good (not amazing) jam band constantly? We dropped $40 dollars, and felt guilty about for it wasn't an amazing experience. And my wife wanted to go to Hops and Pie or Ernies tonight, sorry honey, next time!

Went in today for the first time and had a good experience. Wings were flavorful. The spicy peanut sauce Is Yum! Buffalo chicken salad was tasty. They are not afraid to make the chicken very saucy. A little too much wing sauce for the salad for my liking but not for wings, perfect sauce application. Wings are small peeps because they are not full of hormones and steroids. If you want angry meat, go elsewhere. The thing that will bring me back over and over was the fish sandwich of my husbands, amazing! I wanted to steal it.The service was friendly and fast enough. We will be back.

Earth conscious eatery that satisfies my boyfriend's love of deep fried things and mine for protein and eating healthy...great for a quick dinner after a day at the park or biking around town :) yum!

Sean S.

The quality of chicken here was pretty much on par with your average bar wings. The problem with that is they "specialize" in wings. The wings were either over cooked or had been sitting under a heat lamp making them very dry and they had that nasty blue bone in them.

Joey V.

Well it good if you like small wings . Sauce were good but if I'm going to pay a buck a wing like them to be bigger than pigeon. Then got a fried Twinkie well couldn't tell what it was. well it wasn't cook all the way

Best wings in Denver! The sauce selection is awesome and wings are unbelievable. If you're not in the mood for wings, they have a diverse menu as well. Complimented with a great beer selection and great service, Fire On The Mountain is the best! Highly recommended!

My favorite hang-out and place to eat in Denver. Best wings around hands down plus great burgers, fries, sandwiches, and salads. Get the fried Oreos for dessert! Amazing service and great to know your supporting green business.

Best wings in Denver, so glad this Portland institution came to Colorado. They have the best sauce selection and if you don't eat meat, their satan wings are delicious. The beer selection is always top notch and the patio is nice during warmer months.

Heather M.

My friends loved the lime-cilantro sauce (I opted for sweet BBQ because I am a baby when it comes to spice). Wings were good - pricier at $1/wing - but also better for you. I tried fried pickles for the first time and I didn't love them...not sure if was these particular ones or fried pickles in general. I did love the fried Oreos though :)

Janel T.

I have been to fire on the mountain over 20 times now, it is my favorite sandwich place in Denver by far. I love that they make all of their own sauces, my favorites sauces are the Jamaican Jerk, the spicy peanut and the seasonal pineapple express sauce. Another draw is that you can customize your sandwich to be mushroom, seitan, or a burger. Anytime that something has even gone slightly wrong with my order the staff always makes it up to me in every way. One time i tried their house made pumpkin vodka whiskey cider, it was AMAZING. A special thanks to Chris and the rest of the staff. What more can you ask for? Awesome vibes, friendly staff, Great location, fantastic customer service and who could forget the delicious sandwiches and sauces! Thinking about fire on the mountain makes me salivate and smile :) I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself, this is my favorite place to take friends for a quick bite, so far everyone has been extremely satisfied. Enjoy!

I do not know what else you'd want in a wing place! Let's start with the fact they allow you to sample all their sauces right when you walk in. The wings, sandwiches and tots that we had were great. Best of all, the owners are stewards of the environment. Along with composting and recycling, they use grass fed beef and locally sourced chicken. FOTM has a good vibe; it is a nice place to get a meal or watch a game. Try it out!

Leslie R.

As soon as I heard this place was opening in the Highlands I was stoked! I love wings and felt there really wasn't a decent wing place in Denver...until now! They will have great craft beers on draft and several delicious brews by the bottle. The cocktail list is also intriguing. I went here with the bf on Thursday, when they were supposed to open. They sadly were closed. However, the owner gave us a card which included a free basket of tots that we redeemed on Sunday evening. We were able to try all the sauces at the counter before deciding what to order. All of them were pretty amazing. We ordered 12 wings with two different sauces, Hot and Cilantro Lime, and a side of the sweet bbq and cajun tots. Hells Yeah! They were sooo tasty! I'm already planning my next visit. For those who like the wings that are big because they are pumped with horomones, you won't like these. These wings are small because the chickens are free range and horomone free. Six wings with some tots were plenty for me. They were crispy and delicious. The restaurant is very green. You get a discount for walking or biking there, most items are recycled or composted. Next time I'm trying the Raspberry Habanero and Spicy Peanut.

Graham W.

Wings we're quite good, but the prices sucked and the wings were tiny. On the website it says they add 8% for "eco-friendly" to go packaging, well mine was wrapped up in tin foil...smells like BS
(2)
Joseph B.

Ate their last night. Fried pickle spears...yum! Crisp and delicious. Fries were nicely seasoned. They don't have their full liquor license yet so no beer on tap yet but they do have a good selection of bottles. They have their sauces available to taste before ordering at the counter. The Raspberry Habenaro was a good mix of sweet and spicy. The El Heffe is the hottest and the sauce is very tasty but more than six and it will bite you. The Honey BBQ sauce is a great choice for kids. Friend had the portebello mushroom sandwich. Looked good. Place also has salads, fried twinkies and onion rings.

Jacalyn Y.

This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Usually, a wing place is not our first choice for dinner, but it is now. We ordered the medium sauce boneless chicken with hand cut fries. It was a busy Thursday night, but we snagged a table before our food was ready. Nice and thick sauce coating the chicken and the fries were seasoned perfectly. I saw some great looking salads walk by and next time that will be what I order. The owners spoke to the neighborhood association and presented their plan and it definitely surpassed our expectations.
(5)
Esther H.

The wings here did not disappoint. In the order of my preference: spicy peanut (so good I bought a btl of the sauce to take home), hot, Jamaican jerk and the raspberry habanero. There was a mix-up with our order ticket, and the GM/owner instantly resolved the situation including comping our food and a round of beers. Waitstaff were friendly and helpful. All I can say is I know I will be craving wings from here; I wish we had one of these at home.
(5)
Camille B.

love love love it!!! I am not really into hot wings, but my kids go crazy for them here at Fire on the Mountain. Then the rest of the menu is where its at for me. You can get a healthy and interesting vegetarian meal here, or you can ruin your diet and give your senses something to feel good about too! The fried mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese are RIGHTEOUS! And the sandwiches and burgers kill it. I think the kids and I will have wing night on Thursday night from now on.
(5)
Courtney D.

Oh thank the heavens for Fire on the Mountain! This menu is going to be clutch for me this coming winter - warm my belly! I love condiments, so the 10+ sauces you get to choose from is brilliant! I love how you get to sample all the sauces at the counter before making that very important decision. It was difficult to decide, because their sauces are all amazing (although I didn't try the Jefe sauce which I hear is so spicy I would probably breathe fire and die) I ended up with the Bourbon Chipotle; sweet, smoky, and packed good heat. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, with seitan instead of "real" chicken. Let me tell you, HANDS DOWN it is the best sandwich I have ever had. All the fixins were fresh and delish, but that bread they use sealed the deal. The bread is so fluffy and delicious, it soaks up the sauces perfectly and squishes down quite nicely so I could fit that ginormous sandwich into my mouth. I can't begin to describe how amazing it is. The fries on the side were super good - sweet and salty with the skins on - my favorite style. The place was packed, but the service was still fast and friendly. I sat at the bar and had an amazing cocktail called a "New Fashioned" - Fireball cinnamon whiskey, Naked apple juice, and orange. It was so kick ass I ended up having 3. HA! I noticed they have an eclectic and impressive beer selection as well. I also want to add that as a vegetarian, this place is awesome. One, they offer (delicious) seitan as a substitute for all their menu items for no charge! I swear to god, my peeve is all restaurants charge $1.00 or $2.00 extra for substituting a vegetarian option. It's like punishment for being a veggie. But Fire on the Mountain treats "us" equally, which is refreshing and validating. ;) Give it a try y'all!

Good ambiance/service/beer/sauces BUT these wings need more MEAT on them! I don't care if they are organic/free range/triathalon running chickens I want some meat on the bone! Otherwise, a very good spot.

Wyn F.

Very disappointing. We were excited to get wings to enjoy while watching football and what we got fell short of what we expected.. The wings are some of the smallest wings I have ever seen. The food was overpriced, an I got an $11 burger that was overcooked and had little flavor. The wings are almost a dollar each and they were small and the sauces were mediocre. We tried 5 different sauces and only a couple of them had good flavor. You would expect a wing joint to have huge juicy wings that are slathered in succulent sauce. These wings were shriveled up and dry. The sweet potato tots were good.
(1)
Marla C.

Cute little place with full bar in the Highlands. My boyfriend had the medium wings and I had an order of the raspberry habenero wings and we talked about them for days afterward. Very tasty sauces and wings were cooked just right. As other people have mentioned, the wings are on the small side but I kind of prefer that since you get more crispy saucy goodness. We will be back.

I'll admit it: there may be nothing I love more, including diamonds, ponies, and things I might get kicked off this site for mentioning, than sauce. Luckily for me, there's Fire on the Mountain. I lived in Portland for much of my adult life, and the East Burnside location kept me in my fried pickle fix as long as I needed it (hello, law school), and it was one of the losses I mourned when I moved home to Denver. In one of those magic moments that makes life worth living, I discovered last week on the drive home that we suddenly have a surprise Denver location a whole 8 blocks from my house. I managed to get my bf there for late lunch today, and Craig and the Denver crew more than lived up to my excited expectations. We received a warm welcome, a friendly chat about the Portland locations, zero wait, and enough sauce to shake a stick at. My bf still prefers the wings in his hometown, but said that the lime cilantro and mild sauces were very tasty. My favorite, the bourbon chipotle, is perfect as ever, and my favorite favorite, the fried pickles, are actually *even better* than they are in Portland. Maybe it's the lovely patio, the early summer weather, or the fact that I'm in love with my lunch date, but very little could have made me happier today.

Kathryn H.

My companion and I decided to give this pace a whirl because we live close by, it was raining, and we love wings. The service was really friendly, and the thing I love most is there sauce/celery taster at the register. Most of their sauces are gluten free, with a couple exceptions so ask ahead. It is pretty neat to be able to try before you buy, because spice is subjective. With that, we ordered the lime/cilantro, mild, and sweet barbecue. I also ordered a side of hot sauce because i figured I could spice up my wings without killing her. We also ordered a sie salad with dressing, trying to balance the wings with some greens. I will probably go with with the chicken salad next time, the greens we plentiful and yummy. Also, they are a green restaurant, which means they compost and recycle. And if you human transport yourself there, they give you 5% off your meal. What What! They also have dry cucumber soda I really wanna try. We will be back for sure.

i have to admit, the staff at fire on the mountain is super friendly, outgoing and loves to drink beer! we have been there twice now... and have tried all of the appetizers: fried pickles, sweet potato and regular fries, tots, fried mushrooms, etc. they use a fantastic breading for the pickles, and what seems like more of a tempura for the mushrooms. the food has always come out quickly and hot (i mean, it's FRIED for goodness sakes!), and the staff has never failed to deliver anything and everything we have needed at the moment. the array of wing sauces are pretty extra-ordinary. you can sample all of them at the register just in case you need to know how much spice you're getting into before you order. the wings themselves are pretty small, but definitely flavorful and tender. i highly recommend the cilantro-lime and ghost pepper sauces... delicious! the only sub-optimal experience we have had at FOTM occurred when closing out our tab late-night. the staff was already pretty drunk on their double-IPA from arrogant bastard and ran our credit card when we specifically asked to pay with cash instead. not a huge deal, but we still expect the service we had asked for. it would be a much more enjoyable experience if the staff took orders table-side instead of at the register. they do such a great job of making sure you have everything that you need, so why make a guest order at the register instead of providing the full dining experience? one last final critique... they need to find a way to dim the lights in the main dining space adjacent to the bar/ register for late night service. it seems like a warehouse in there! dim the lights and provide table-side service... then you get 5 stars

Adam T.

This place has great sauce options. Perhaps the best I've had (better than BWW)! However, the wings themselves are awful. They are TINY and possibly the smallest wings I've had at any establishment. At a cost of roughly $1 per wing, based on the size of the wings, this place is a total ripoff.
(1)
KP H.

We were so excited to have a wing place in the hood and overall fairly pleased with our meal. The sauces are good (the hot and chipotle bourbon taste very similar though), the wings are prepared well and the onion rings were great! We will definitely be trying this again. The only reason we can't give them a 5 star rating is the size of those wings...damn they are SMALL! Every wing place in town should be required to go to Vine St. and see what a real wing should look like before they start serving. Give me some meat on that bone!
(4)
Leslie G.

At the counter, prior to ordering, there is a tray with all the wing sauces and little celery slices. From there, I was hooked! I am not a huge fan of wings, but I do love the sauce and so I ordered the boneless style and can't complain, though after reading a few reviews I will try the veggie wings next time. I was excited to see tots on the menu and these tots are legit! The staff was friendly and pleasant. Good placement of t.v.'s for those lucky ones who can find a table and good selection of bottled/canned beers. I probably would have given 4 stars but last night, my husband picked up wings to go for his dinner. All of the to go products are recyclable/compostable. I sincerely appreciate the green initiative and that's what made them a 5 star establishment for me. Great addition to 32nd street, we will definitely be repeat customers!

Mason H.

This place is awesome and stuff... Ok so I've seen people's reviews comment about the tiny chicken wings...you know why right? They're not GMO chickens--in fact the girl told my friend and me that they're like free range or something, so yeah they're smaller legs/wings. Also, this place is pretty awesome overall. Tonight I tried the blue cheese dip, I've never been a fan at all of b-cheese anything...and it was AWESOME HOLY CRAP. I will not only order the blue cheese next time, but also some more sweet potato fries! Best ever. Love FOTM, go there, try the wings. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because my sauce tonight was way too vinegary.
(4)
Ben P.

I really enjoyed the fact they let you sample the sauces before you ordered the wings! They had a nice selection of beers. My girlfriend and I did not order any of the appetizers, but they had a nice selection. My biggest complaint the wings had very little meat to them
(3)
Katie A.

YUM YUM YUM. This is a must stop if you're in the highlands. Lunch or dinner it's a great place. They have great wings with so many sauces to choose from there is a good option for everyone. We went for lunch the other day and they had an awesome lunch special, 6 wings, fries, and a drink for $9.00. Every other time I've been for dinner and it's probably $13 or so for the same thing so it was a great deal. I've only ever had wings here but I know people I've gone with have tried the sandwiches and other options and loved them. I also know they have great beer specials during the week. Just writing this makes me want some wings...

Awesome chicken wings! There were about 12 flavors and you are able to try them all out (with celery) before you order! I had the thai peanut and parm garlic wings. Quick, delicious, and decently priced. Fun atmosphere on the patio.

Jeff S.

I am WAY overdue for an update on this review. FOTM is close to work for me, and once a week Jess and I go for wings after our morning workout. We alternate between here and one other joint. I shall now detail the pros and cons of FOTM. Pros: 1) AMAZING sauces! They have extremely original creations for all taste buds. Things like Jamaican jerk, lime cilantro, and spicy peanut will make for a great change from traditional buffalo, but the bourbon chipotle and raspberry habenero are my favorites. The el Jefe will melt your face off if you're into that sort of thing ( I am) so beware. And you can take home a 1/2 or full pint of any sauce you like, which we do. 2) Speaking of sauces, they do an original sauce of the month creation that's not on the regular menu. Really nice touch! 3) A rotating tap list makes for great variety every time we come. All craft beers from across the country, and many local choices in the bottle as well. 4) The staff is really friendly. They make it a point to remember us and our tastes and always lend a little personal touch when they greet us. I've heard through the grapevine that the owners are very good to their employees, and from the way everyone behaves here I'm willing to believe it. 5) Although I've never branched out, they offer other things like burgers and sandwiches. (There just may be tater tots too.) These always look amazing but dammit I'm not missing out on my wings! Cons: 1) The wings are pretty small. As Jess said, that just allows us to sample more sauces though. 2) It's pretty cramped inside. While the patio is better, if it isn't outdoor weather and they are busy you're going to find yourself on top of others. We love Fire on the Mountain, I'm sure we will be loyal customers for a very long time! Cheers!!

Amanda M.

My new favorite wing place in Denver (not that I had a favorite wing place before)! The key to an affordable meal here is to go during happy hour 3-6pm and 9-11pm Monday-Friday. You can get such delicacies as tater tots for $3, 6 wings for $5 and $1 off drafts and specialty cocktails. Their wings are on the smaller side, but not freakishly small. I like the size since they tend to be crispier than their overly large counterparts. I like the spicy peanut sauce best (like everyone else) but I tried their parmesan garlic sauce last night and that was delicious. 8/10 men who are eating here/working here are rocking lumberjack beards, so if you're into that type of man candy, this place will tickle your fancy.

Deya Z.

I have a weird relationship with Fire on the Mountain. Hubs and I have been there a few times and while he loves it, I just can't share the love. Maybe I set my expectations too high since or friends had been raving about it but I didn't think they as awesome as everyone said they were. They let you try out the sauces in advance, which is cool & very much appreciated. But when you get the wings, they're DRENCHED in sauce; not my thing, but you know, to each their own. The tots with chili, however, ROCK! If only they'd put on cheddar!

Jess M.

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! Seriously, I'm here at least twice a month eating ridiculous amounts of wings. Jeff and I have wings every Wednesday after a pretty intense gym session. We seek out this fine joint every other week. There are so very many reason I love this place. Let me count the ways! 1. They have 11 staple sauces. My staple faves are bourbon chipotle (so good we have purchased a mason jar of it to take home) and raspberry habenero. All are creative and delicious. I've tried all but the El Jeffe because if I'm honest with myself, there's no way my Yankee tastebuds could ever handle that level of hot, not even white girl wasted. 2. They have a monthly rotation flavor. I try every single one of them. In the 9 months I've been going, there's only been 1 I didn't like. 3. Beer selection is always fantastic. Someone spends some time keeping this fresh and refreshing. 4. Staff is awesome. Have never, ever had a problem. Always friendly. Always funny. Always laid back. 5. The music they play is always spot on. 6. They make a real effort to be a green business. That makes this little tree huggers heart happy. The only reason why they didn't get five stars is because their wings are a little on the small side. It would be great if they were bigger but I try to look on the bright side of things, smaller wings means I have to order more and get to have more sauces. Oh yeah buddy.

Sara B.

ZOMG!!!!!!! Ok now that I have gotten that out of my system, how about a review of this fine establishment? Where else can you get happy hour tator tots that are enough to feed four people for $3? My husband and I were really craving wings on our last date night so I did a quick Yelp search and found that FOTM was only a few minutes away. Score one for this girl! We had to park a little ways away which was fine. When we walked through the doors, the place was packed! I think we got the very last table there. (Haha, suckers who came in after us!) The cashier was nice enough to walk us through their sauces even though they were really busy. We settled on the hot, extra hot, thai peanut, and chipotle bourbon. They were even nice enough to put the sauce on the side just like we like it. I could drink the chipotle bourbon. It is that good! I have been dreaming about that sauce with the spice and smokiness from the chipotles with just a little sweetness from the bourbon. I will repeat my above sentiment; ZOMG!!! My second favorite was the extra hot. It wasn't just fire (which I love) but it was also flavor (which I love even more). I liked it 10x better than the hot which I thought was kind of funky. My husband horded the thai peanut all night he loved it so much. I hear that this place delivers, too! I plan on utilizing that very soon. Until then, I will just have to continue day dreaming.

M S.

I love this place. Food is solid: wings and unique sauces are delicious and the sandwiches are even better. People griping about size /cost of wings have a valid point, but consider that the chicken is Redbird free-range and hormone-free and you might not feel so bad anymore. This brings me to another big point-earner: they're very environmentally conscious with all their operations. To top it off, they have truly excellent craft beers on draft. Tip: go on Mondays for $2.50 drafts. Great music on the day we went! Outside patio is most welcome.
(5)
Nick S.

Always stellar service, top notch grub and no shortage of it on portion size, great selection of beer and liquor, and of course great music playing all the time. I love this neighborhood spot and I hope they're around for a long long time! Pro tip: The chicken tenders are ginormous as are the large tots. Bring your appetite! Pairs well with a bourbon and ginger. Elite pro tip: One large chili cheese tots is a great meal for three (or four, if you're gonna be women about it.) Or if you're solo, just try to shoot the moon. I've done it once. The group affair pairs well with fun and laughter and a couple light beers. The solo affair pairs well with self loathing and shame and a couple shots of well bourbon. Enjoy!!!

Lucy H.

This place is great. Their food is awesome and the staff is amazing. Beer list is constantly rotating with the tap beers. They also have fried deserts that are pretty interesting and tasty. Although that raspberry habanero sauce I found not good pair with a fried Twinkie.

Dave P.

So, hanging around the North of Denver and had a hankering for some Wings. Read the reviews and decided this would be the place to go. I was misled. The service was good, and the drinks are very good, but the Wings left me wanting. My friend got the regular Wings, and I got the boneless 'Wings'. My friends Wings looked like the chickens had just gotten off Jenny Craig or something. They were so thin and stick like. The boneless Wings looked like, and tasted like, those chicken tenders you get in a Hungry Man meal or other frozen dinner. No texture, very wiggly, and not very good. The sauce was solid, but I asked for 2 different sauces, and they brought me two of the same one. I may go back if I'm ever that way again, but I wouldn't make it a point to go ther

De-freaking-licious! Been here a couple times now and their wings have become our hands-down favorite. The boneless wings are HUGE and come heavily sauced, just the way I like'em (I hate having to ask for extra sauce). Speaking of sauce, their sweet BBQ combined with ranch on the side is an incredibly addicting combo, while the bourbon chipotle hurts sooooo good. The spicy peanut is really interesting, though I can't handle too many with this rich sauce. The onion rings are delicious too - homemade breading that's heavier than most but so flavorful with herbs and spices. And they break when you bite into them, like they should. But the food isn't the only reason why we love it here. The atmosphere is really chill, the beer selection is thoughtful, and the service is top-notch. The last time we were in the server gave us a free order of spud puppies (also awesome) because the kitchen made some extra. And he helped us get more food for less during happy hour. Relaxed, friendly, and mouth-watering. Too bad we live so far away. We'll definitely be in anytime we're passing by.

LOVE this place! I work in the highlands and Fire on the Mountain is absolutely our go to option for lunch when we can't agree on anything else. Haven't had a sauce here that wasn't AMAZING. Make a point to try the rotating sauce of the month because they're usually awesome! Don't miss out on their house made blue cheese either! Best wings in Denver hands down!

I was pretty impressed with Fire on the Mountain. I'm not a big wing lover but I suppose that makes me pickier. These wings were great, albeit a bit small. I had mine with the Bourbon Chipotle sauce (sugar free, gluten free, and vegan- the place is kind enough to denote these items for all of their sauces and you can taste any of them at the counter). Hubs had just the regular hot sauce which is really good too but I didn't think it was that hot, personally. Aside from the wings, the portions are enormous. Hubs had a "medium" tater tot side and it could have easily served 2-3 people. I enjoyed a side salad that was repleat with julienned carrots, diced tomatoes, fresh greens, etc. It was very impressive. In fact, all of the salads and sandwiches that crossed our paths on the way to other patrons looked fresh and delicious. I also had the Ruby Red Hound - that was pretty good. It had Deep Eddy Grapefruit Vodka, soda, and bitters. I couldn't detect the bitters and wish it'd had more of sour flavor (mine was also missing its salty rim) but I truly enjoyed the two grapefruit wedges that adorned my glass. FOTM has daily specials and happy hour M-F from 3-6.

$2.50 craft drafts all day Monday...how can you beat that? They have pretty much everything on their draft list (~12 taps) at $2.50, including some of the higher gravity offerings. Best draft deal I've seen in Denver so far. What would a good beer list be without good food? FOTM has that, too. While they're known as a wing place, we typically get a grilled chicken sandwich or wrap of some sort. Healthy and delicious. If you're a sauce fiend like me however, I recommend getting an additional side-car of sauce on the side, as their grilled chicken is lightly coated, whereas I prefer an obscene amount of sauce on mine. **Pro Tip** - Their sauces are pretty fantastic, but the list can be intimidating. When you place your order (which you have to do at the counter) they have all of their sauces available to try, so try as many as you need to reach a decision!** It gets busy in here, so be prepared to wait a little while, as it appears to be first come first served for tables. They have a big covered patio however, which is sometimes opened to alleviate the crowds.

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I saw a lot of reviews about the wings being the "best in Denver" but I have to disagree. They were a little over-done and my boyfriend noticed that they didn't have a lot of meat on them. They let you try wing sauces before ordering which is a plus. I went for the BBQ (pretty standard, sweet and mild) and the Medium sauce (nothing spectacular). We also ordered the tots with queso for dipping. I was pretty impressed with their queso. This was the best part of the meal. They have a pretty good beer selection and a fun, laid back vibe. The staff was super helpful and friendly. I'll probably give the wings another shot.

This is my second visit here. I admire the fact that they are mindful of their sourcing and that they are not trying to sling the largest most genetically engineered wings. The selection of sauces were extensive and they add something I have not seen before, tasting via celery before selecting your sauce. My favorites were the spicy peanut and the raspberry habanero (if I remember the last one right). My favorite flavor in general is garlic parmesan. Though they had it this time it is no a regular sauce. Additionally, I was hoping it would be baked on as some of the others seemed to be. Overall a good place with nice atmosphere and service. DT

Wings are delicious, drenched in homemade mouthwatering sauces. Wow. New favorite wing place, I cannot wait to come back.

Ryan M.

Always delicious wings! I get the bonless basket, which has 3 boneless wings (which are actually chicken tenders) and fries. They have fresh fries, and tons of sauces to choose from. Since I am a 'dipper' I get my wings naked, and get a lot of dipping sauces. The Thai Peanut and Raspberry Habanero are two of my favorites! Service is always great and they have a pretty decent beer selection on tap.

Monday is the best day of the week at FOTM. Forget your Monday sorrows. Drown them in $2.50 drafts. All day. And it's an exceptional beer list, too. $1 off drafts during happy hour Tuesday - Friday, so life doesn't have to stink on non-Mondays. Then of course, there's the wingies. Or, if you're like me and don't dig bones with your chickens - an array of grilled or fried breast sandwiches, wraps and salads are options too. I've had a grilled chicken wrap, sandwich, and salad and each were big enough portions for leftovers and equally delicious. You can step up to the register to order and try all of the sauces before deciding on one, too. Note - I'd say the only downside to FOTM would be the bar area is pretty small (maybe 10 seats?) but most of the main area is set up like a bar anyway - order at the counter, take a number and get your order (dine in or out is the same process, except for at the bar where you can order from a bartender).

The wings were so freaking delicious! My husband and I tried the Lime Cilantro (my fave), Spicy Peanut and Medium flavors and they were all amazing. The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is cool artwork that you can buy displayed on the walls throughout the restaurant. So glad we tried this place out during our quick visit to Denver.

Happened to be on this side of town and we are ALWAYS looking for good wings. Wings have a great flavor they are small but I'm guessing it's because they use quality chicken or maybe it's because we showed up close to closing? Fries were awesome very crispy just the way we like. Homemade ranch has the hint of dill yummy , blue cheese rocked too. We will be back

Apparently I always ended up making it here around late night happy hour. Hey! That's easier on my pocketbook, otherwise I think it's pretty spendy here. Ooo Emmm Geeezy! The Spicy Peanut sauce is my favorite. At every wings place I get my wings plain with the sauces on the side... just so I can control how much sauce to get and I don't like messy hands and stuff under my nail bed. I also really like their cilantro lime, jamaican jerk, bourbon chipotle and medium spicy buffalo. The owners are friends with the owners of the location in OR and decided to bring the yummy goodness to the next hippiest state of Colorado. :P Love the microbrews on tap and the seitan selection even though I don't eat them. It give me an option to bring my friends who choose to not eat meat. Heard their salad is delicious too. They also have lunch specials for those working folks near by. I always have to get the fried mushrooms, they are a whole button mushroom battered and fried to perfection. Be careful though, they will burn when you first bite into them if you are not careful. I have had the tots here and also the fries, nothing over the top but really good to have selections on fried choices that's not meat also. The service has always been really great here. I walked in once at 10:38 not realizing they close at 11 PM, the lady said she didn't even realize they are closing soon... but they had to clean up anyway so we can hang for a bit. (I love that she didn't deny my hunger!) If you have a sweet tooth, try their fried dessert with oreos and twinkies. Totally fat kid heaven! I love their spicy peanut sauce so much I bought some to bring home and smoked my own pork ribs with it slathered on. I also added a little sriracha to the mix to give it a little bit more kick, came out super amazing with smokey flavor and a hint of the peanut. The spiciness gets less with the grilling so the added sriracha was awesome! Beers, Wings, Fried Dessert - I'm a happy fat kid!

Fire on the mountain indeed! You can try the palette of hot sauces at the counter with little pre-cut pieces of celery. A nice feature before you order up some wings. The wings come in a wide variety of forms and flavors and they really understand hot sauce here. They also have a decent selection of brews on tap. The interior is a modern update to this old west side building. Simple lines, high backs, booths, some bar seating. I had the bacon BBQ burger with fries and I was not disappointed. They managed to correctly temp my burger and the portion size was reasonable for the price. I sampled my lunch partner's boneless wings and I was impressed. Nice neighborhood pub and wing stop.

Best wings in Denver. Awesome sauces. Cool beer list. The wings. They are. The Best. While some might say they are a tat small that is because these wings aren't some gelatinous sloppy mess that others try to pass off as wings. Who wants to much on warm fat? The wings are all meat and the sauces (especially that Raspberry Habanero) are delicioso! Oh and those fried pickles... they ain't kidding around either. They taste great! Their beer list, while not necessarily huge (8 taps if memory serves me correctly), always has something interesting on it. Five Stars... this place is worth the calories!

I came back twice during my weekend trip because it was so good (also because my sister loves wings). I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich. The jerk seasoning was expertly spiced with a perfect amount of heat while the pineapple topping added sweetness. The chicken itself was well cooked and moist. I had a side of sweet potato fries that were good. On the second night I ordered the seitan "wings" with raspberry habanero sauce. I wanted to try something new and, considering that I ordered seitan at a wing place, I thought they were really good. It's nice they have this option for vegetarians. The raspberry habanero sauce was tasty with a good kick to it. My sister ordered the wings with the standard hot sauce. She was happy with her food and I sampled a wing - definitely hot. We also got a basket of onion rings which were perfectly battered and fried. I would recommend getting an appetizer because it did take a little while for the entree to come out (the first day I didn't and looked longingly at all the food at other tables, I also hadn't eaten in 8 hours...). The beer selection here is great and what could be better with wings than beer? It seems to be a family friendly restaurant, the first day I went there were 3 families all with children under the age of 7. It's counter service and you seat yourself. The interior was vibrantly decorated with plants and large windows. I think this restaurant has a lot to offer for all comers.

Bumped them up to five stars after my last trip on Sunday with my mom. The pickiest Hispanic, fabulous glam lady you will every meet admitted my wings were spicy and finished my meal... This NEVER happens. NEVER. She eats jalapeÃ±os plain and said the el jefe sauce was HOT!!! She is the crazy old wise soul that tends to judge/complain about what isn't familiar, so I was nervous. But she enjoyed it, And. She. Loved. It. Can't wait to come back luckily I live 5 mins away!!!!

The Good Things - This place had a really wide variety of wing sauces. They put out little sampler plates with celery sticks so that you can try out each sauce before ordering. For someone that has a hard time deciding, this is awesome. Their bourbon chipotle is so, so good. Also, they have incredible bloody mary mix. The Bad Things - Those bloody mary's? Yea, waaaay too hot. I ordered the regular (not spicy) mary and I couldn't drink a quarter of it. Maybe they accidentally gave me a spicy one? Also, those wings may have great sauce, but there is no chicken on them! I got nine wings and was still hungry after eating! One wing had one sliver of salvageable meat on it. No bueno...

Amazing hot sauces. Big fan of the El Jefe and the Raspberry Habanero sauces, especially on the Buffalo Chicken Salad and/or Sandwich. Great variety of beer on tap too and nice outdoor seating.

Took me a long time to make it in here but I really enjoyed my food, and contrary to everything I'd heard and read, I thought my meal was a ton of food for not a lot of beans. I ordered the boneless chicken basket with a big pile of delicious fresh cut fries for $8 and it came with three large, very crispy chicken tenders. I could only eat one and took the leftovers home. I also couldn't even finish my fries (unheard of). That maaaay have been because our group of four ordered a large frisbee of tater tots which were amazing! FOTM even offers sweet potato fries and tots (I still need to try these). Tots and fries with a few bites of chicken are a fine dinner in my book. Their homemade ranch and blue cheese dipping sauces were great and I also loved the chipotle bourbon and lime cilantro sauces for the wings. But spicy peanut was my favorite and that's what I ordered on my basket. So good and not too sweet or peanutty with good heat. My husband just does not love the tiny size of the organic wings here (some really were comically wee) but he did manage to put away plenty. The ordering line inside became a bit of a cluster so I was happy our friends snagged us a table outside away from the madness. Good draft beer list and friendly servers too. I'd like to come back and sample HH and more of their expertly fried smorgasborg - especially the pickles, stuffed mushrooms and fish n chips.

The wings are perfect small size, being locally raised free-range birds. The sauces are top notch - their medium is my favorite, but the jerk-spice is awesome too. It's all good. And busy.

I like the hippie theme going on in this joint. Not a bad place to grab some wings, a salad, some interesting side dishes and a beer. Colorful decor on the walls, hippie swank music in the background, quick service, overall neat place grab a casual bite to eat. I liked the buffalo chicken salad, sweet potato tots and the sweet BBQ wings. Tasty.
(4)
Chris G.

Not a big fan. They have a sort of non conventional service model which wasn't super obvious to the unitiated. The wings are tiny (tiny) and over priced. But they ARE organic and/or some other such nonsense which justifies the price. They do have a lot of good beers on tap but bottom line, I'd never reccomemd this place or go back.
(1)
Evan F.

Best wings in Denver! They always use the freshest most organic ingredients they can find. They have a great happy hour from where you can get wings for very cheap along with other small plates. They always rotate their beer taps with some of the best local brews in the state. Give this place a shot!
(5)
Paul M.

The sauces are great and different than the usual wings fare. You can try all of them before hand too! The peanut sauce was incredible as well as the cilantro lime, sweet bbq, and cranberry(?) habanero. Can't remember exactly what fruit was paired with that one. The hottest one, El Jefe, was pretty damn spicy, just a drop made my eyes water. Get that if you like pain while you eat. They really slather the sauce on so the wings are perfectly coated in flavor. It's great because the excess sauce stays on your fingers so if you bounce between wings you get hybrid flavor! The sweet potato tater tots are delicious and you should try the stuffed mushrooms if you like stuff like that. I take one star off for the smaller wing sizes. Most are normal but you'll get one that is tiny and has like two bites of meat on it. Lame.

Very unique sauces for their wings. Raspberry habanero is my fav. They also have a Thai peanut flavor. Wings are small compared to other places but the flavor makes up for it. Fried mushrooms are huge and the fried pickles are half spears not just slices. The manager brought us out complimentary deep fried Oreos and nutter butters which were scrumptious!

I love wings. Wings that aren't too sweet, tender meat, tasty sauce and affordable. So with the reviews of this place I thought sure I'll try it. They do have their sauces to taste with celery. It's a order-at-the-counter-take-a-number place. The food came out quickly. I got a side salad, nothing crazy but a decent salad. I order 12 wings, half with peanut sauce, half with a spicier sauce. Seitan is also available. The wings were way too saucy and the sauce was really mediocre. I found most of the sauces were just too sweet. The wings itself were good. The meat was tender. The menu also had sandwiches and salads, so you don't have to get wings. It may be hard to get a table. It seems like every restaurant in West Highlands is packed even though I haven't found a restaurant really worthy of a wait. We grabbed one of the last 2 tables on a Sunday evening. Definitely kid-friendly. Maybe I'm just pickier about my wings but I still haven't found a competitor to Walnut Room's.

Fire on the Mountain, you get five stars for making my dreams come true with delicious vegetarian wings. I love buffalo sauce, but I don't eat meat and these two things don't seem to mix well but you have come to the rescue! I have searched far and wide, and yours are the best seitan wings I have every tasted. So this is probably a better review to read if you're going for the veggie cuisine. I have tried their sandwich, wings and salad and all are awesome - if I had to pick a favorite it would be the salad though. The buffalo sauce is just perfect with the blue cheese dressing and salad. Once I requested a mix of buffalo and bbq (btw staff is AWESOME they are very flexible with doing half one sauce flavor and half another) and the bbq ended up taking over the flavor so they brought over a free buffalo sauce. And if you are not into buffalo they have a dozen sauces to choose from. Some of them are crazy hot though, beware of el jefe!
(5)
Shannon F.

This wing joint is one of the few that offers a vegetarian option. The seitan wings are excellent, and make sure you try the onion rings! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the only non-spicy sauce they offered that wasn't buffalo was barbecue. I don't like buffalo sauce, and my son doesn't like spicy, so we have no option but barbecue. That being said, it is fantastic barbecue sauce!

The seitan wings are a savior for a vegetarian, this is what my meat free life has been craving! The sauces are already out to try so you don't have to feel like a jerk asking for samples. A bunch were really tasty, hard to decide what to get. There's plenty of sides that also sounded great. Beer on tap and a cool vibe, this place is a winner.

I was very disappointed with the food after reading reviews. The wings were the SMALLEST wings I have ever had. One little bite and the meat was gone. I have more meat on my pinky that the wings they serve. The place has a great atmosphere for drinking beer and enjoying friends. But the foods is far from good.

I usually don't write negative reviews. That being said you could probably slaughter a chicken, de-feather it, clean it, cut off the wings and cook them yourself in less time than it takes to get your wings at Fire on the Mountain.

Absolutely love this place. I was introduced to the restaurant last summer and have since brought family and friends numerous times. I love the wings, they are a little small but pack a ton of flavor. My wife loves the tator tots. Staff is always attentive and friendly.

So growing up in Buffalo Ny then moving away a couple of years ago I have been in a never ending quest to find wings like home. Quest over!!!!! Fire on the mountain is spot on. They have actual wing worthy blue cheese which I though didn't exist on this side of the Mississippi. My friend and I split 24 wings we did the hot, raspberry habanero , bourbon chipolte and mango chipolte they were all very good in their own distinctive way . If I had to find a complaint with the sauce , the hot buffalo sauce had a lit too much butter in it. We also ordered the tater tots that were awesome. Love the grateful dead theme and the music selection was spot on . The only thing keeping this establishment from 5 stars is that the wings were a little undersized . But that will not stop me from coming back...

Erin N.

Love this place!!! They have wings & 'veggie' wings as wells as beer, sandwiches & deserts! What more could you want?! Love that you can try samples of all the different BBQ sauces before ordering. Parking is a bit of a struggle sometimes - but it's the Highlands - so that is to be expected!!
(5)
Spencer C.

Went here with the family on advice from a sister that they have the best blue cheese in town. We ordered the fried mushrooms and pickles to start. The mushrooms were good. The pickles were ok. 3 of us shared 24 wings-3 sauces, mango Habenero - spicy peanut and medium. All sauces were good and plenty on the wings. Wings were cooked good but a little small. The blue cheese was not all that great. Mom had a salad and it was full of greens. Desert was fried nutter butter and oreos. Good but mostly batter tasting. If I lived close this would be a great hangout place but not a place I would drive out of my way to go to.
(3)
Ramon G.

Pretty much what I expected. Wings, sauces and fried goods. Tough to screw up but they do it well. Out of the various choices my favorites still came back to good 'ol Buffalo style wings with blue cheese. Tots are pretty much what you expect. Toppings help kick it up a bit. You can test the many sauce options at the counter if you have trouble picking something. In fact, I'd recommend it. The wings are small, creepy small but I guess the birds had a good life. I think it's worth a shot if you like wings. It's a small place so grab a table when you can.

Kate T.

Fire On the Mountain is one of my favorite neighborhood spots. Great food, good atmosphere, and friendly staff. The ordering is simple and easy as you order up front and take a number to your seats, so you can take your time and don't have to worry about getting the check at the end. Their wings are great, and sauces are phenomenal (you can sample them all with celery sticks), their queso is really delicious as well, and I'm also a big fan of the fish n chips, and fish sandwich. I've honestly never been disappointed with anything I've gotten there. I appreciate that their chicken and beef are from local sources as well. They also always have a great beer selection, which is important here in Denver! Nice casual atmosphere and good food, why not give it a shot?

We were finishing up a Garden Tour in the area and walked by Fire on the Mountain and decided we could both munch on some wings, who doesn't love wings right? It was an odd hour of the day (3pm give or take) so the place was a little empty. We sat at the bar with an excellent bartender, he was sarcastic and really funny, he made the experience that much better. Typically this place is order at the counter and then they bring you your food. Since we sat at the bar we ordered with the bartender. The reason to go up to the counter is to sample all their spicy sauces so you can make an educated decision. There's a cup of celery and a little bit of each sauce to try. We tried most of them, some of the hotter flavors scared me so I opted not to burn my tongue and stick with the ones that I knew would work for us. After our taste test we decided on 9 wings and split the order to use two of their sauces. The Bourbon Chipotle and the Spicy Peanut. The wings arrived and to be honest the size of the wings was a little disappointing, pretty small IMO. This is where the disappointment ends, the sauces were finger licking good. Between the two, the Spicy Peanut takes it all, spicy and uber flavorful. The Bourbon Chipotle was wonderful as well. We had a wonderful time enjoying the air conditioning, beer, and wings. I would definitely come back for some more of those sauces and the rest of their awesome looking menu. *Important to note that they rotate their sauces. They're always coming up with new sauces and letting the customers enjoy the new creations. Bonus, they also sell the sauces separately so if you want to cook with it at home you can, just saying. If you're willing to brave the hot afternoon sun they have a nice side patio where you can people watch until your heart is content.

The best wings in Denver. I'm pretty sure of that. I go here all the time but be warned, it's a small place so most of the time you won't get a seat. They have samples of their sauces at the counter so you can try before you buy. The sauces are awesome and if you want spicy, they get super spicy. Their prices seem high but you find their portions are larger than you'd expect for wings. The boneless strips are huge and they give you quite a pile of fries. Their menu is pretty extensive so it's not just your normal wing place selection. The chili cheese fries are amazing and honestly everything is superb. The beer selection is small and they do have a small bar. Again seating is limited. You order at a counter and take a number but the bar is full service. I like this place a lot and most of the time take-out is a better option. Just wish they had more seating.

Kathy P.

Wow! Why haven't we been here before?! Great boneless wings! Yes regular wings available too. Lots of sauce choices. You can sample sauces before you order. Had mine plain and dipped in their delish ranch dressing. Had the $8 special w 3 boneless & fries. All yummy. Huge portions. Great beer selection too. Great patio.

I was really excited about this place when it first opened, but the last 2 times I've been have been terrible. The staff is very rude and apathetic to providing any level of service. The service: The last time I was there, a guy at the table next to me asked an employee about his food, because he had been waiting for it for over 20 minutes (it was regarding a deep-friend twinkie, which should not take 20 minutes). The employee's reaction was shocking: he actually raised both hands and shrugged his shoulders with the most passive aggressive attitude, and gave a look of *why the f--k are you asking me?* and said "Uhhh, would you like me to go check?" to which the customer replied "Please?" (as if it were too much to ask). The employee then patronizingly said "OK dude, perfect.." and walked off as if this customer was lazy and he was doing the guy a favor to go check. People from 4 different tables all witnessed it and started openly talking about how amazingly bad it was. The employee came back out with the twinkie (they had obviously forgotten about it) and didn't even apologize for the delay, much less for the attitude. I too have experienced 30+ minute wait times for food with attitude and no apology. The service just sucks. The food: The wings are good. They are cooked well and there are many good flavors to choose from. The problem is that these wings are TINY. I mean like, HALF the size of what someone would consider a "normal" restaurant wing. They must be getting these at a discount-- all the small reject wings that no other establishment would pay for. Not only are the wings small, but they barely have any meat on them. It's literally two wings to a "normal" wing. To be fair, they usually toss in extra. I ordered 9 wings and received 11. I appreciate the gesture, but that doesn't even begin to make up for the lack of meat on the bones. If this place could source chicken wings with meat on them and improve the service (at least pretend like you care about your customers) then this place would be decent.

I finally tried this place for the first time over the weekend. I love wings and was excited that they have all of their sauces out so you can try them first... Great way to avoid wasting money! The wings were a little on the pricey side, so I was a little surprised with how small the wings were when they came out. My boyfriend and I go out for wings a lot and we typically split 24 wings and get an appetizer or two (the chili cheese tots were great!), and this was the first time we ever finished all the appetizers and all the wings... And we were both still pretty hungry afterwards. This is is only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5, but regardless of the high price I will definitely be back... Maybe the boneless wings will be a more filling meal?

My coworkers and I order out frequently, and we frequently find ourselves with Fire On the Mountain for lunch. They serve fresh, delicious products at a reasonable price. They have good service and serve good beer. They use compostable waste products and have awesome sauces! The Jamaican Jerk burger is my go to lunch and I can't get over the blue cheese sauce for the fries. The wings are cooked correctly and delicious. They offer a service industry discount too if you ask. However, there is something that really bothers me that FOTM does that a lot of other restaurants are doing: Green washing! They call their chicken free range, but it's not, at all. It's Redbird brand chicken, which although tasty, is NOT free range, and is still fed all the gmo feed and never is allowed outdoors for sun or air. They also say their beef is Colorado Natural grass fed beef. First of all, they don't tell you the producer and the employee I asked said it was grass fed but didn't know the brand. Well then how do they know it's grass fed? I seriously doubt it is. All in all, 3 stars. 5 stars for food. -1 star for small chicken cutlet servings/expensive side options. -1 star for lying about ingredients.

worst seitan wings ever!! The staff was great and their chicken wings looked like they were probably amazing but if your going for the seitan wings I would go to city O city or watercourse . There so gross here, not crispy at all, super thick and not fried well.

I like Fire on The Mountain. Some things I like better than others. Now this is happening. Report Card. Atmosphere - A- Good music, TVs, love the local art and the red rocks ticket stubs in the tables. Nothing too amazing but chill. Nice patio. Pleasant. Service - B+ Though I was skeptical of the walk-up ordering situation, our food has always been fast and served with a friendly smile, and most importantly it is always correct--the system seems to serve it's purpose. Extra points for the tip jar. Food - B- Ok, I know the wings are good quality, humanely raised chicken, but plainly, they are kinda small and expensive. I love the sauces. Really, I loooove me some sauces. Especially sweet and spicy, like their raspberry habanero. Yum. I love that you can taste 'em. But the wings are kinda sad. Idk I would rather just not eat wings I guess (at that price). The best things I have had at Fire on the Mountain were the burgers and sandwiches. The fried pickles were good too but be careful they are really hot temperature wise, my boyfriend never waits long enough (they are really good) and burns his mouth. Salads are generous and fresh. Not a fan of the fried shrooms, they've got some blue cheese deal in them--not my fav. But the chicken sandwiches and burgers are epic. Beer/Bar - A+ The beer selection is always awesome. It is a rotating list of micros from all over the US. Happy hour in the evening and then late night as well means you can get these great beers for less money, or go on Mondays, for $2.50 microbrews all night. It's awesome. Who gives a crap about food. You could drink your dinner. But seriously, the beer situation alone puts this place on my permanent to-do list. Thanks for many good meals - I appreciate you all. Sincerely, Steriod-Wing Afficionado

I love their wings especially their sauces. I like the fact that before ordering they have a sampler to try out all the sauces that you can mix and match! The service is always great and the beer selection is pretty wide. It's a small space so be prepared to wait/fight for a table around dinner time especially on the weekend, but worth the wait. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and visitors :)

I went here on a double date with my boyfriend and some friends. The atmosphere was nice, relaxed. The staff was friendly and helpful. The fries were great. The wings, however, were pathetic to say the least. Small and over cooked.

Josie P.

So awesome in so many ways. If I could go there every Monday night for happy hour, I would! Well, every night, really! The food is always spot on, the service is impeccable, and it's a great atmosphere. You can sit on the heated patio and watch a game if you want, or you can hide in the little nook in the back if you want something a little more 'intimate' (well, intimate for a bar anyway). The have the good stuff on tap so do yourself a favor and get over there, like now!

Wings...yum!! My friend is an avid wings fan and these did not disappoint her. Indulge in the sweet potato tots too...so good. I wasn't a fan of the Steak Salad but then again...you don't go there for the steak. Cheers Fire on the Mountain!

Denver CO - I can't say enough nice things about FOTM. Wonderful atmosphere, unique and delicious sauces, and the fries are some of the best I've ever had. I ordered the wings and my partner had a salad... Everything was perfect. They also went above and beyond after forgetting our order of fries by bringing out a mountain of fries and an order of deep fried Oreos to make up for the mistake! Thanks guys! Great place!

Cherie C.

There is NO reason that this place needs to be this good. But it is. I'd been craving Buffalo chicken, and after a disappointing attempt elsewhere, I asked Yelp for help. It sent me to FOTM, and I am forever grateful. The bf ordered at the counter while I grabbed a table. He didn't know how things work, so I ended up with tenders tossed in spicy peanut sauce. It wasn't the Buffalo sauce I'd been craving, but it was a whole new form of delicious that I didn't know I needed. The chicken was good, with a nice crispy batter. The sauce was a flavor bomb. We shared some tots, which was another learning moment. An order of tots feeds four to six people; there were but two of us. The bf got a burger. We didn't speak much once he got the sandwich; he was too busy savoring it. He said it was excellent but didn't offer to share. ;) Coupled with a nice beer selection, this menu has won our approval.

Fun place to meet up with friends-the outdoor patio is covered and heated in the winter and there are tons of flavors of wings. You can try out multiple rubs before you order and the waiters/waitresses are very friendly.

This is a great neighborhood restaurant. I have eaten here 5 or 6 times and it always good. I have had the buffalo Chicken salad ( my favorite) sandwiches and wings. All our good made great by the sauces. It is always fun to try the sauces before your order at the tasting station. Great music is always playing. I happen to love the Dead and enjoy the jam band genre they inspire. Service is always a little slow but it is not a problem. They make everything and it shows when you get that first taste. Enjoy!

Danny N.

Fire on the mountain... Is pretty fricken good. And I love me some wings. I believe these are easily the second best wings in Denver and I give them a solid 8.3 due to the fact of the size of their wings. They are just so little. But they have a perfect crispiness and a lot of sauces to chose from. Another awesome thing is that you can taste the sauces before hand. It's just a tad small so if you are rolling 10 deep maybe kind of hard to get a table but I totally approve of the wings.

The wings are good here, but front service is not great. Just stood in line forever; when it was my turn the cashier just leaves and starts putting together silverware and running food, then a new cashier jumps in and forms a different line. Really bothered by the lack of good service at the front.

Jay P.

It's pretty good. Food is priced fairly, the staff is usually cheerful and helpful, easy experience. The dining area is a little tacky and outdated but it's more of a fast food feel than anything else. Great spot overall to grab a quick bite to eat.

This place hits the spot! Great wings and amazing sauces to choose from that you can sample before you order. Definitely go for the Cilantro-Lime for a tangy kick! You can also split your order and do 2 different sauces if you'd like, and while you're at it definitely order some fries!

Steve O.

Having a Northside place that specializes in wings, and which is NOT Hooters in any way, shape or form, has brightened my Football Sundays immeasurably. Yes, the wings are on the smaller side but, their extra hot buffalo sauce suits my heat level, and I like the bourbon chipotle and spicy peanut sauces for something different. Their onion rings rock, too. They have a full bar with a TV, but the bar itself is small, so think about grabbing to go for game day..

Best wings I've ever had. a great variety of sauces to choose from, even if you require gluten free or have diabetic needs. the chicken was the perfect crispness. The staff was friendly and helpful, in the environment was relaxed and comfortable. And place to meet up with friends or a snack, lunch, or dinner and a beer.

We searched for good fried pickles in Denver and FOTM popped up. I love wings and after reading Yelp reviews we decided we needed to give FOTM a try. When we arrived it took us a minute to figure out that you order at the counter. When we approached the counter the woman at the register didn't greet us, didn't ask if we had any questions or offer any information on the specials. I really like that you can try the sauces before you make a decision. So we all tried a couple of sauces and ordered. I decided to get the three boneless wings with bourbon chipotle sauce, tater tots and fried pickles. The restaurant was busy, but we were able to find a table right away. The fried pickles came out first. The pickles were my favorite part of the meal. The chipotle mayonnaise dipping sauce that came with the pickles was very tasty. It was really flavorful and had a nice level of heat. Our wings were soon to follow. The boneless wings were okay and I liked the bourbon chipotle sauce. We also ordered bone-in wings, that I didn't try, but there were comments made that they were overcooked. The tater tots were lacking any seasoning. Thankfully there was salt on the table because I don't think they had any on them. Overall the food was decent, but it wasn't great and neither was the service. I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. There are wing places closer to where I live that are comparable, if not better. I think I visited FOTM with high expectations and it just wasn't what I was expecting after reading reviews. The others in my group agreed that it was a meh experience.

"Wow," I thought as I looked over the menu "those are some expensive chicken wings!" I was correct, they are a bit on the high end of the scale. My fears were quickly assuaged however when the friendly cashier asked "Is this your first time in?" Indeed it was and I was quickly introduced to what makes FOTM great - All of their chicken wings come from pasture raised hens, their beef is all grass-fed, and they even have a sauce bar to try before you buy. Awesome right?! But you've got to ask... how are the wings? These wings are flipping great. I tried their medium, mango chipotle, and spicy peanut and all were solid choices. Not only that - but the wings were perfectly cooked, super juicy, and easy to pick from the bone. So I revisit my first thought - expensive? Nah. With FOTM you get what you pay for. I'll be back.

Drew S.

Tasty spot for wings and brews. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. Wings are average size, boneless wings (basically tenders) are big. Solid selection of brews with rotators. Taste the sauces at the counter with a celery sliver (amazing!). The sauces are my favorite thing about this place and also the patio that sits on the corner facing 32nd st. I've been here a handful of times and have had good service each time. This is my go to wing spot west of I-25.

Bridget C.

Love this place. I often frequent the Portland locations, this one is the same. Taste wings, I usually get the chicken tender salad which is super delicious .... and my weak attempt to be healthy. Anyway love this place, order up & pay at the counter, great weekly food/drink specials too
(5)
Paul D.

I have to admit some of my earlier enthusiasm for FOTM has waned. Most of their food is really good, I'll still assert, but I get sticker shock every time I get my bill there. Food is slightly pricey, beers are very much so. Especially for a place where you have to stand in line to order at the counter, I think their pricing is just a little out-of-whack. Additionally, the place is a little too Portlandia for me. This may be a draw for you depending on how hipster you are.

Christopher B.

What really surprised me about this place is the lively ambiance. It was pretty loud and very social and just a fun vibe. They have about 10 beers on tap, most of which are from Colorado. The selection is decent. I ended up ordering the boneless wings. The bartender told me they are pretty big in size so I only went with three. They allow you to try the different sauces so I opted for the raspberry habanero. The wings were really more like chicken tenders, they were pretty big, not too greasy but juicy and the sauce was good as I had already tried it. Given the great atmosphere, food, and beer, it's hard not to want to come back!

Good food, good people, and simply a damn good place for wings, beers, and TATER TOTS. Bring my 1yo, feed her sweet potato TOTS. And just when you thought that was it, get the queso! Every so often BBQ!

The seitan wings are the best in town! Caters to omnis and vegetarians. It's a thicker "wing" than you receive at other places, like native foods and watercourse, but I prefer "wings" with a bit more "meat."

Bryson M.

If you want to spend a ton of money on ridiculous tiny wings this is the place got 6 wings n my wife got 3 boneless and a beer for 20 bucks ... Oh yeah 6 dollar beers are on tap . Have you heard of the piper Inn . Go eat there wings. It's Amazing.

Billy L.

Wing joint with what I think is the best burger I've had in Denver... the blue cheese burger. Forgot the name but it's killer. It COMES WITH fries and is not incredibly over priced unlike every "burger resturaunt" I've been to in Denver.
(4)
Eric C.

I'm still not sure if it's the vibe of the place or the wings I liked better. The wings were pretty small, but cooked perfectly and came very saucy (which I like). I'm a very traditional "buffalo hot" sauce kind of guy, but I tried a couple of the non-traditional sauces on my buddies order and was actually a huge fan which surprised me. The vibe of the place is awesome, super busy and hectic with all the customers lining out the door, but if you can block all that out it's pretty laid back. They have a great selection of beers on tap as well, which in my opinion is a must at any wing establishment. I'll definitely be back at some point.

Julie G.

Had a nice lunch with a friend. I had the boneless chicken wings with the lime cilantro sauce and bleu cheese with a side of fries. The chicken was good and amply sauced. They let you sample all of the sauces before you order by providing celery to dip into the sauces. The cilantro lime tasted spicier on the celery so I felt that the chicken was slightly bland. The fries were crispy and hot and they provide malt vinegar for the fries (yum!!!) The friend I was with had a cheeseburger and he said it was delicious.

Kelsey K.

We were recommended to Fire on the Mountain by a close friend when we mentioned how much we enjoy wings. We didn't want to go to the Buffalo Wild Wings chain because, being from Seattle, we have one of those nearby our house. Once we entered the restaurant, it was a very unique and small business feel, but affordable prices. We bought three flavors and ended up completely mind blown by the incredible taste from each flavor of wing sauce; not to mention quality of wings. We STRONGLY recommend this wing joint- it's delicious!!!!!

Seriously good wings! You can taste the sauce before you buy and they have a ton of beers! Definitely coming back the next time we're craving wings!

These are probably the best wings I've had in Denver. My friends as vegetarians and they have seitan wings that they love, and I can get normal wings. It's rare to find a place that satisfies all. The wings I've gotten from them have been huge.

Dean S.

CONS: FOOD POISONING overcooked wings Small wings Stoned staff working FOOD POISONING no parking Dirty drink cups Ranch and blue cheese left out Only celery is served with the wings PROS: Different choice of sauces than normal wing places Good beer selection All in all we ate there last night and I have been throwing up for the better part of 12 hours now. I will never visit this place again. It sucks because I really love wings and really wanted to like this place. But burnt under sauched wings that make you sick? Nope.

I came out from Oregon on a trip and had to hit the newest addition to the FOTM family. My husband and I are weekly regulars at FOTM back in Portland, hitting the Fremont and Burnside locations pretty regular, maybe enough to change our DNA to a little bit of wing sauce. We went in today a little after lunch and wanted to throw big high fives for not having to stand in line or wait for a table. There were just a couple of people in there. You won't find that back in Portland around lunch time. It is the exact same set up, right down to the funky wall colors and benches, as Portland. A little piece of home, right here in Colorado. There was some confusion from the new staff about how to ring up an order that was substituting tots for fries, but they are new, so it was not a life shattering experience, it did not take from the flavor of the wings, so we all survived. I went with my usual chicken sandwich, and have to say, not so loudly that Portland hears me, but the chicken sandwich here was a lot better. Not dry, and the portion of chicken was much larger. I hope it stays that way for this location. I also, saw a lady next to us get the fish and chips and it looked a lot larger than the one I had been served in Portland at the Fremont location. The wings may be small, we have even been known to whine a little about it, as we are sucking the sauce off the bone, but let us call it portion control. The menu is exactly the same, so we got the fried pickles, too, and they delivered. Make sure you get the chipotle mayo, they gave us ranch, the mayo that comes with it is much better, a little spicy, but still good. The only thing I can say bad about today is the ranch was heavy on the mayo flavor and not enough ranch shining through, but somehow I managed. The staff were all friendly and kept checking on us and the other customers. I know they are still learning their way around the fine art of serving kick ass wings.

Everything we've ever had here has been absolutely delicious. The wings, chicken tenders, Tatar tots with queso!!, and any wrap or sandwich. It's better than bar food with tons of homemade sauces to choose from.

My girlfriend and I visited FOTM based on the strength of many of the reviews on Yelp. Our total bill was $40ish for 24 wings, a small order of tater tots, and 2 beers. The wings were incredibly small, the sauce just OK, and I didn't feel that the cost was justified. Pros: Good service A menu that includes more than just wings Decent beer lineup Able to taste all of the sauces before you order Cons: The wings are TINY TINY TINY, and expensive for what you're getting The sauces are just OK On our visit tonight they had shut down the grill 1 1/2 hours before closing time. Fried items only Between the high cost, small amount of meat, and better choices closer to home, I don't intend to return here.

My friend took me here and i really liked it. They have a variety of sauces to try and to put on your salat and wings. It has a small side bar where the tab handles are hanging on the sealing for when they exchange their beers! I think that is a really great idea!

kristen l.

Pretty decent wings - they're a little pricey per wing, but given that the chicken is free-range it's understandable. They have a variety of great sauces you can sample before ordering. My favorite is the spicy peanut. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I don't think I've ever been here without someone saying hello, asking how my meal is, or giving a suggestion on the great craft beers that they have on tap. The atmosphere is also relaxed and casual - always playing some great music. One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood to frequent!

Wow! I was feeling pretty "exhausted" because we are in the process of refinishing our floors and have been hotel bound for a home. (Two adults, two dogs... crammed in a small space...). I am so glad that we parked right by this place and didn't want to walk anywhere else!!! Best seitan burger in town! Better than Watercourse and City 'O City! Seriously - no competition! The sauce (Jamaican Jerk) was fantastic... they used great buns! All of the sauces I sampled were very tasty - and - spicy means spicy! I would highly recommend this place as a must eat!

They have a fun atmosphere, and a great variety of sauces. However, the wings are really small and the price is ridiculous for wings. Better off going to The Piper if you want wings. Too bad its on the other side of town.

Ann C.

The sauces are delicious. My favorites are the spicy peanut, raspberry habanero, and sweet BBQ. They rotate their beer list, so there is always a fresh selection. The wings are a bit small, but it's because they're free range, so you can feel a little better about what you're eating. I love this spot. The patio is dog-friendly, which is tough to find. I come here regularly. It's a great place to chill and have a beer with friends.

In this town, there is a pretty limited market of meatless stuff fried and drenched in Buffalo sauce. But every now and then you just have hankering. Our go-to is usually Watercourse or City O but I didn't feel like dealing with parking at either and the parking situation seemed....marginally better near Highland Square so we placed a to-go order with FOTM. As luck would have it, I managed to squeeze into a parallel spot right up front! What also sold us was the myriad of sauces. All wings (including the seitan variety) run about a buck a piece. We could have easily gotten away with an order of 12 (they come in multiples of six) but went for 18 so we could pick three sauces and have leftovers. After some heated (no pun intended) discussion, we settled on the cilantro lime buffalo, spicy peanut, and chipotle bourbon. And tater tots with queso. First off, this place was BUSY. It had a very college town type vibe with tables of unkempt 20 somethings. The counter (where you order) was obviously not adequate for the number of people looking to order and there was no distinct line. I thought I was in front and then another patron managed to snake in in front of me so he could order another PBR (thanks bro). That said, the counter person was nice (if not a bit stressed) and my to-go transaction was smooth. The sauces on the wings themselves were delicious. I loved the spicy peanut best and Dave was partial to the chipotle bourbon. The wings themselves....eh. Pretty tough, super salty, and it felt like they had a longer then normal trip in the "chunk and form" machine (I'm not positive that such a thing exist, but if it does, the trip was too long). I found myself standing over the sink afterwards, desperately downing as much water as I could after the meal. We both agreed that while the sauces were awesome, we definitely preferred Watercourse/City O seitan and it's imperfect, non chunked and formed strips. The true standout was the queso tots. The order of tots was bigger than normal and there was clearly beer in the delicious queso. The side of celery that came with these bad boys was pretty comical. The celery sticks were wrapped up in a piece of aluminum foil, there were about six, and they were about 1 cm in width. Maybe 3 inches long. Why bother? They also do an 8% surcharge on to-go orders for their earth friendly, biodegradable, recyclable packaging. So you can inflame your insides with some non-digestive-friendly fried gluten and delicious pasteurized cheese product. Go figure.

Mitch H.

I think it's hilarious people complain about the smaller wings at FOTM. Probably the same people who love the wings they get from Dominos when they order a pizza. Personally, I would rather eat fresh, crispy, hormone-free, antibiotic free, cage-free Redbird wings than enormous, undercooked, raw wings lots of other places serve. You know the kind: still pink around the bone. Disgusting. Keep eating your Dominos wings and falling out of fashion, armchair quarterback.

Being from the buffalo, ny area you know I am going to be pretty biased towards good chicken wings... I have found no place else in Denver that can make wings as close to the ones I eat in Buffalo like Fire on the Mountain. They have many different sauces you can test try before ordering, which is very nice! Even though I am from Buffalo, I am a big wuss when it comes to the "heat" of my wings. So its good I can try em out and not worry about burning my mouth off the whole meal! I always get mild-medium when going to this restaurant (the medium really is on the hot side). And theyre even better if you order them extra crispy! They also have a pretty big beer selection as well, and support the local breweries! My husband has tried a few, I'm sorry I can't remember which! But he liked all the ones he's sampled so far!! The atmosphere is nice, although they get pretty busy and could definitely use more seating! But there is outdoor area to sit at too. I can definintely see why this is a popular place to go to, and we keep coming back!

This place has amazing food! We were in the area and decided to try this place out because or the high rating on yelp and I'm so glad I found this restaurant. We ordered the queso dip with chips, sweet potato tots, chicharonnes, and wings. Everything we ordered tasted so good that it was hard for our group to pick their favorites. The sweet potato tots had strong flavors of sweet potato and didn't just taste like the batter like many other sweet potato fries I have tried. This is actually the first time I had them as tots and they have quickly became my new favorites. As for the chicharonnes, they were made from dark chicken meat. The meat was bite size and chewy so they were easy to share and munch on while drinking our beers and waiting for our food to come out. The queso dip was equally delicious as the other appetizers we ordered. The chips were fleshly made and the queso dip was delicious- it didn't taste too rich. My boyfriend normally hates cheese and when he tried the queso dip he said it was the first time he liked anything with cheese. By the cash register, they have a sample of all the sauces for their wings with pre sliced celery to dip them in. We ended up going with the buffalo lime cilantro, bourbon chipotle, raspberry habanero, and spicy peanut. The buffalo lime cilantro and bourbon chipotle both had unique tastes to their sauces and I haven't eaten anything similar to them elsewhere and became my favorite sauces. The flavors were mildly spicy but bold. The buffalo lime cilantro didn't have too much of a sour flavor and the chipotle bourbon didn't have a strong smoky/ BBQ flavor; they were perfect. I don't usually like sweet flavors incorporated into my foods or sauces so I was pleasantly surprised when I sampled the raspberry habanero that it wasn't too sweet at all. There were very mild hints of raspberry and very spicy with stronger flavors of habanero. It had a perfect amount of kick to it. The spicy peanut tasted good in the sample amount, but when they were smothered over the wings, it had too much of a rich peanut buttery taste so I definitely preferred the other flavors. The restaurant was packed and when we got there, there was no empty tables inside or outside and we ended up sitting at the bar. With everything we ordered being that tasty, I don't doubt as to why there were so many people eating there. This place is definitely worth the drive, and definitely worth the price. The portions are big even for the small sizes so you definitely get your money's worth. They also have a vegetarian menu such as seitan wings, and fish and chips for those looking for a meatless option. I highly recommend this place.

Fire on the Mountain really surprised me, the quality of food and service were both solid. FOTM has been on my radar for a while but never ventured over to check it out, this was a big mistake. So the food ... For me good wings start with good sauces. FOTM not only has a large variety of sauces, you can sample them before you order. This is a huge plus as wing sauces are often a crap shoot and places like this. I've had both the wings and boneless wings, and both are filling and tasty. I personally like the boneless wings, less messy and the same taste. FOTM also has a full bar. This part might be the kicker for me. Wings and fresh tap beer seem to go together better than peanut butter and jelly. Since it's Colorado there are actually good beers on tap too. The one thing to watch out for with FOTM is the space is small. It tends to get busy on the weekends, so be ready to wait for a table. Other than that, go check it out!

I had heard from all the reviews about the tiny wings but I wanted to see for myself. The reviews were right and I should've tried the boneless chicken maybe. I sampled all the sauces and my favorite was sweet BBQ. Not sure why everyone likes the raspberry habanero. The fries here were delicious. I would come back just to eat those. I got an order of 9 wings with half medium and half plain so that i could dip in different sauces since I couldn't make up my mind. The cashier girl was nice and didn't charge for the extra sauces. We also ordered the bacon BBQ burger which looked decent but not for $11. I'd rather go to red robin with bottomless fries. service was good here but I don't think I'd return just because of the value. I did have a Denver daily deals though for this trip Luckily. I know the meats are supposed to be all natural or whatever but still.

Rebecca H.

I have had an ambivalent relationship with wings- love the meaty goodness, hate the encrustation of inedible gristle that I paid to NOT eat. Bless you, FOTM, for bringing into my life these fully, deliciously edible wings. They are pricey ($1 a pop), but at least I'm not throwing away precious poultry. Also, having a variety of AWESOME sauces is great.

Genial bartenders pouring from an ever-rotating row of taps - they only ever order one keg at a time of any particular beer, as evidenced by the different beer menu every one of the half dozen or so times I've been to Fire on the Mountain in the last couple months. Now onto the business at hand: the wings. Really, really, really good. You MUST try the spicy peanut, that stuff's no joke. They have cupcake tins with samples of each sauce (note to self...) up at the counter where you order (note to reader) and a bunch of little celery twigs, so you can see what you're getting yourself into.

The food is not that good, and the owner has no respect for the community that sounds his establishment. northdenvernews.com/denvâ€¦ Shame on them for lying to his neighbors and the city and county to do as he pleased....

I like FOTM, but it is too expensive for what one receives. This is my second visit, and I will go back on a daily-deal. However, I will not likely pay full price. The sauces are great. The wings are great. The sandwiches are great. The prices suck. I do not agree with the other reviewers that "the wings are small." The wings are cooked exactly the way that I cook them at home -- CRISPY. When wings are cooked crispy (the best way to cook them) they condense. I hate when wings are barely cooked and too chewy. That is not the case here. Other than the price, the only other negative was that it took a while to get our order. We were drinking though, so the wait did not seem to matter much.

Great wings good flavors and chill atmosphere. I would eat wings all the time but its not close by to me other than that a must visit for anyone who likes tasty wings

I started coming here about a year ago, right after I moved to Denver. I was hoping to find a place that I could enjoy which also served vegan options for my boyfriend. I had no idea that over course of 2014 we'd become almost-regulars. The food is awesome. I love the boneless wings. The bf gets seitan wings and he approves. The service is great, totally chill and happy to help with special requests. The drink specials are great, too. Always a decent selection on tap. It can get busy during a big game, but what else would you expect from a successful wing place?! Anyway, my only issue is that I haven't branched out to try a salad or a burger yet. Maybe the next visit?

Very lackluster wings. I've been here many times and even though their beer selection is great I've never been impressed with their wings. I have two friends that live near here so I end up stopping in every other month or so. Hopefully things will improve.

This place is perfect for highlands. Great rotating beers on tap and the wings are consistently good. Go for the boneless wings and fries, it's a steal and the bourbon chipotle sauce is unique and delicious!

Before I went and wrote and abhorrent "steer clear" review, I make sure I've visited a place at least twice. Maybe it's when I'm going (after 9pm), but this place has the worst service ever and the staff couldn't possibly care less. To get an order of boneless wings and fries, I have (on my 3 visits) have not waited fewer than 20 minutes. On this last visit, I actually watched the cook take wings and boneless wings out of the fryer (I was sitting at the bar), and they sat there for 10 minutes before anyone started plating them up. They have a great sauce selection, but all of them are extremely bold flavors. I am an admitted sauce fan, but to have their sauces coated, no drowning, the chicken is ridiculous. If you're brave enough to give this place a try, start with the sauce on the side. The price isn't that great either - $7-8 for 3 boneless wings and some cold fries. What does that add up to for me? About $20 wasted since I haven't eaten more than a quarter of my meal each time.

This place is great!The wings are superb and the choice of sauces are awesome. They have vegetarian options which is good. Nice selection of beers and a great laid back atmosphere. Friendly employees as well. They also have a selection of art pieces you can buy which gives them kudos in my book. Great little place to check out.

Man, do I love some wings. But these are not among the wings I love. Normally, this place would hover around 2 stars, but given that I went Monday night - which provides all pints of beer for $2.50 a piece!!! - I have to be a bit more judicious. Oh, FOTM chicken wing, how do I hate thee? You are not crispy. You have very little meat. You are soaked in way too much sauce (come on...they are chickens, not fish). You become cold very quickly because your core is that of a wafer. You sit there and taunt me because you're still a chicken wing, and you know I have weaknesses. Well, real chicken wings wouldn't abuse me such. I went in to FOTM maybe 2 years ago. Now I recall why I had not been back. What is wrong with evolution to allow a desperate bastard like myself the seeming coping mechanism to forget all that hurts? I will never forget again why I don't visit you more often. Your trickery will gain you nothing ever again chicken wing. Again, the beer bumps this up. Otherwise, we're looking at a 2.

Have been back multiple times since discovering this spot! The staff is incredibly friendly and the wings are great. There are always new sauces to try before ordering. Also, the fried pickles are amazing!

My favorite sauce is the sweet BBQ. I also appreciate the variety of craft beers that changes regularly. This is my favorite restaurant in the highlands neighborhood.

Love their wings, sandwiches and beer selection. The patio is great too. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is they can be pretty slow at times. Also I left my phone and minutes later returned and it was in the bathroom... not sure what is going with petty theft, but keep on eye on your belongs. However, very kid friendly with great food & drink. We frequent this great place.

Fun and delicious place for wings and craft beer. They have by far the cheapest craft beer ice found yet. Some on par or cheaper than actually going to the brewery!!!! What?!?! Crazy I know. Also they have sauce samples for you to try prior to having them drench your wings. Great idea!! Oh yeah and your good comes on an upside down frisbee. Big big fan!!!!!

Justin M.

DO NOT discount the fact the wings are small, because they are RANGE fed. No hormones! Love this place! It's my Saturday spot.

Jennifer M.

aww yiss, hot wings. I love me some wings, but sometimes I get tired of the same old buffalo or sickly sweet varieties of sauces. A lot of times hot sauce just isn't hot enough for me as well. Just like people with peanut allergies ruining everything for the rest of us, it seems like everywhere that makes the spicy claim are catering to the spice wimps. This place does not. That said, they have a huge array of wing sauces for those that don't like heat, so don't let that turn you off. My husband is a fan of the buffalo lime cilantro, and the sweet BBQ is really tasty also. Personally, I'm a big fan of the spicy peanut and Jamaican jerk. Oh, and the El Jefe. I must buy a bottle of this and pour it on everything forever. So good it'll make you cry... or maybe so hot it'll make you cry? I just don't know if the two are mutually exclusive. The beer (and cider!) selection is great too. Having lived in San Diego for five years I was pretty excited to see seasonal Stone Brewing beers on draft. Plenty of places have Arrogant bastard, but seeing a seasonal beer made just for the elections was surprising. If wings aren't your thing they have a menu full of salads, sandwiches and fried things as well.

Great service, delicious vegan options, and awesome fries? All of these things greatly reduced my horror at the steady stream of broheims leaning over my plate at the bar to order more PBR tallboys.

Finally got around to trying FOTM on Friday night. We stopped in to eat here before heading for to our new favorite happy hour at Pizza Public. The menu is hard to read, but they do have print versions available for those of us who can't read the damn chalkboards! One thing I found to be awesome is that you can try every one of their sauces with teeny-tiny pieces of celery before you order. This is super helpful as some of them are pretty non-traditional for wings. Like most everyone else, I thought the spicy peanut and the raspberry habanero were amazing. I however am a sucker for a good buffalo chicken salad, so I opted to go that route. My dining companion also for some reason ordered boneless wings and tots. The tots were amazing! Our food was really good, though I think we both wished we had gone the more traditional "real wing" route rather than boneless. The breading on the boneless wings, while delicious is heavy and salty after awhile. Of course that didn't stop me from continuing to suck down the spicy deliciousness of the wings in my salad (made even more delicious by their awesome blue cheese dressing). What can I say? I had to stock up for happy hour. On another positive note, this place does counter service very well - some other places having issues with this could take a lesson from them. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and trying some of the other items on the menu.

Love the wings! I chose to eat here because they use natural red bird, and I always try to eat free range whenever possible. The sauces are delicious. The kids love the tater tots. Wish they would come up to Fort Collins so I could enjoy it more often.

Trish B.

Wow this was a great find. Excellent food. They have chicken wings that are from happy chickens, and for those of us who don't eat chickens, they have Seitan...some type of vegetarian yumminess. They have like 10 different sauces you can get on your chicken or seitan. When you order, they have samples of all the sauces so you can try before you order. That made it hard to choose which one to get! Very friendly staff, and great food. Definitely stop to eat here.

After reading a few reviews, I was expecting tiny morsels of chicken clinging to bone, long wait times, and a disinterested staff. To their credit, Yelpers have it mostly right so far. Entering the main dining room, I wasn't really sure what to do, so I just stood up by the counter. After a couple minutes, one of the women at the register asked if I was ready for food. Yes, I suppose that's why I'm here. Where do I begin? I want to try the spicy peanut and raspberry habenero sauces and attempt to order 6 wings. No can do. Sauce splitting is only allowed on orders of 9 or more. Wait, what? There isn't a way to divide 9 wings evenly. Should I have tried three sauces? Then I probably would have had to order 10. I didn't want to ask, as it took her three times to get my order of "9 wings, spicy peanut and raspberry habenero, small onion rings". Someone else mentioned this, but I was shocked when it happened to me, also. I grab a table in a little cove that is "No Fun Land". The flatscreen isn't on and there isn't much to look at but children running around. As soon as a table opens up in the main dining room, I snipe it. Sniping is how everyone is getting their tables, which feels a little awkward. The high tops are cool, with old ski passes and family pictures under the glass, but lack of chairs is clearly an issue. The open kitchen is a stark contrast to the chaotic dining room. The chef is clear and loud as he calls of tickets on a Sunday night, plates coming out like clockwork. I hear several times "_____ dying in the window!" and almost feel bad for the staff, as they're somehow in the weeds when the back of the house isn't. My onion rings come out first, and they're a hot mess. A little undercooked, but its hard to tell under the thick coating of seasoned breadcrumbs. I'm talking a 4:1 ratio of breading to onion, at LEAST, and pulling it off was like taking the dough off of a corndog. Unpleasant. See my photo. The wings came out a few minutes later, and the peanut was a hit around the table. The raspberry habenero tasted like chili jam. The flavor was on point, but the consistency left something to be desired. They weren't the biggest wings, but a far cry from what I've read others whining about. They just aren't a great value at a dollar a wing, sustainability be damned. We want another round of drinks but aren't sure how it works. Can we open a tab with the bar if we're not seated there? Is there someone who comes to refresh our drinks? Who do we order with? A line overtakes the front counter so I ask the bartender, and she opens me a tab (which I'm instructed to close with her) and even brings them out to the table. Even checks to see if we need another round. Do we tip her, the one who's trying to earn a tip, or just throw it all in what we assume they pool? Round two we try three of the boneless wings, a small fry, and a fried twinkie. Boneless wings are code for chicken fingers, and are very overbreaded. I also wish we had asked for the sauce on the site, because the spicy peanut absorbs into the coating and it's awful. The fries are AMAZING, but cold. We finish the cold fries before the tenders if it's any indication of how bad they were. The highlight, by far, was the fried twinkie. Great amount of batter, with the center oozing out vanilla creme. Not many ways that you can mess that up, although one of the waitresses asks me three times if we've received it. Listen, if you're expecting the service and hospitality you're accustomed to from other great Highlands restaurants, you're in the wrong place. This seems like a restaurant where no one is in control. The people delivering your food are the same people bussing tables and bringing you napkins, but they rarely do all three correctly. It's like if McDonalds served booze and brought your food to you instead of calling you up. The thing about McDonalds is they have rigid systems in place to control the chaos. "Do A, then do B, then C. B should take you 20 seconds. If C is done, move to F." Everyone has a job, and they do it consistently. At Fire on the Mountain, I wasn't sure of anything. Get a stronger front of the house manager or start cutting dead weight, FotM. There's only so long you'll be able to get away with this in the Highlands.

I've lived in West Highlands for over a year and never even knew this place existed. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of wings, but I do loves me a good chicken sangwich and they make a tasty one here. The jerk chicken with pineapple is charbroiled and perfectly seasoned. And pretty much any sauce you can get on the wings, you can get as a sandwich. They also have tasters of all their sauces, which is pretty nice. Some excellent beers on tap as well (Twisted Pine Raspberry Wheat is a personal favorite). Definitely worth coming here for happy hour!

I was pretty excited to learn about a new WINGS place pretty close to my house. I went to school in Ft. Collins and good wings can be found in many places up there. Down here in Denver, I've found wings are a bit more hit or miss. Fire on the Mountain is a solid new possibility for me when that wing craving sets in! But I need to be honest, the thing that really stole my heart (and my stomach) here are the fried pickles. They are downright delicious. Big spears with a great, lighter batter. Fried, but still pickle-y and crunchy. No sogginess. Also, they are served with a spicy Chipotle sauce. We mixed the chipotle with some ranch and dipped away. Yum! Oh and the tater tots were great too, but totally out-shined by the pickles! The wings were tasty, too. We tried the Bourbon Chipotle and the Spicy Peanut. The Bourbon Chipotle is way spicier than it seemed when we tried the sauce near the register. The Spicy Peanut is really yummy! There was a bit of a mix-up at the register regarding the sauces that we wanted and we regrettably did not get to try the Raspberry Habenero that we had also ordered. Kinda bummed... Good patio-can't drink alcohol out there, though. Hopefully, this will change. Service was kinda crazy, but the place was hopping on a Friday night and it seemed like they were still trying to gets some kinks out and find their groove. I'll be back, but I may give them a little time to settle into the neighborhood!

Great wing sauces! They do have this Cajun dry rub that they put on their fries that I asked to put on their wings and it was tasty! Love the salads too!!! When my boyfriend is craving wings, that's where he wants to go!

More like a 3.5 star review. I used to live in this hood. I don't come back all too often these days, but recently found myself back here and have only heard good things about this new place, so off I went. This place used to be a dessert bar. I never went there when it was so I don't remember what it looked like. The decor though is really nice, bright and airy with a small patio as well. Busy as hell too- for a Tuesday at least. I see how this place can get overloaded quick. It's pretty small. By the way, they do offer tastes of their sauces by the register. Check that out when you come in. I didn't and wished I had changed my order after the fact! We decided on 18 wings: Raspberry Habanero, Peanut and Buffalo Lime Cilantro. I did get a side of jamaican jerk after I tried a sample of the sauce- BY FAR my favorite. I pretty much dug on all their sauces! I really enjoyed the raspberry habanero. Not too hot with a nice sweetness. However my only gripe: the wings are mad tiny. Organic or not, they were TINY. And pretty expensive- I mean, 18 wings were priced at $16.50. These are some of the best I've had in town however, regardless of price. And they have a nice small amount of microbrews on tap. Definitely a nice addition to West Highlands! Too bad I don't live so close anymore!

Love the wings, fries, onion rings, fried pickles, and fried nutter butters! Yes, the wings are small, but they're not pumped with hormones that are harmful. If you want big fat wings pumped with chemicals....go elsewhere. Being a Portland native and recent transplant to the Denver area, I was excited to find a little "taste of home". I LOVE FOTM at home and was hoping this location was up to par.....YES! It's location in Highlands and funky hipster vibe is on par with the "mother ship" in the NW. The addition of the outdoor space is awesome! Talking with the owners, they will feature some of the newer dishes served at the Freemont location (my faves are the pulled pork sandwich with blue cheese coleslaw, and mac-n-cheese with buffalo sauce). If you're looking for a sit down and order-type restaurant, this isn't the place for you. However, if you want great tasting, organic food, with a fun, funky vibe, this IS the place for you! Keep up the good work guys!

Best. Wings. Ever. There are really unique, delicious sauces that you can sample when you order (spicy peanut mmm!!). Yummy fries and tots and a good drink selection. The staff is awesome -- very friendly. I love this place!

I stopped in with some friends for the vegan wings, which were good, but they tasted a bit dry and overcooked. I'm not sure if they're always like that or if it was a bad batch. I LOVE that they let you sample sauces at the register and I loved them all, though the cilantro was my favorite. We also went with the onion rings, which were delicious. The service was fast and friendly so I'd visit again.

Courtney P.

I'm going to tell you a story about Fire on the Mountain. It all begins in the summer of 2009, in Portland, Oregon. Courtney visits Fire on the Mountain there, and decides to try a fried pickle for the first time in her life. She is not disappointed, and returns many times over the course of the summer. Courtney then chases these fried pickles everywhere she can. If she sees them on the menu, she orders them. She had many bad experiences this way. No one stacks up. She finds acceptable substitutes, but still craves a FOTM pickle. She recommends the place to everyone whom she knows to be visiting the state of Oregon. Flash forward to Boxing Day, 2013. Four years of chasing pickles has left her no closer to satisfaction. Courtney is in Denver, touring the locations important to her husband in his youth. Imagine her surprise, her absolute glee, when her husband pulls up at an eerily familiar purple building, the squeal of delight when she realizes that "OMFG THIS IS FOTM," and the trepidation she feels upon realizing the reality may not match the fantasy. Imagination is a powerful thing - would the pickle be able to compete? No but seriously, guys. The fried pickles are fucking. amazing. My favourite wing sauce is the peanut. Good spice and interesting flavour. The raspberry habanero is good too. People are complaining that the wings are small - I suspect this might be because the wings are the size of the actual wings of a chicken, and not the hormone-laden monstrosities created by mass-production chicken warehouses. I also tried the mozzarella wheels - slices of mozzarella cheese like you'd get in a caprese salad, fried up. Let your fried food rest a minute, though - because it'll burn the living shit out of your mouth when you get it, even when the place is super-packed like it was when I went. TL;DR: My unicorn of fried pickles, great wings, fabulous service even when slammed. 20/10 will definitely visit at every available opportunity.

As a native Oregonian, I was thrilled to hear that FOTM had chosen Denver for their first foray in expanding the brand. Great wings as always, but the lady who took our order was trying to rush me ( only 3 people were in the restaurant at the time) and was a bit rude. I will be getting my orders to go in the future. Expensive it is, but worth it once in a while.

This place is wonderful as we are vegetarians and they have Seitan wings. Couldnt ask for anything more.

I have had FotM wings before and really enjoyed them, but tonight I tried ordering delivery from them through GrubHub and was super disappointed. The wait time I was given was 84 minutes, and then I received a text message extending that time by 5 minutes. This is 5:30 on a Wednesday, mind, not a game night. My order turned up 20 minutes after the given time, with no explanation. They do not seem to have in-house delivery drivers, but use Doorstep Delivery instead, which may have contributed to the issue. Then there was the matter of the food: my wings were overcooked, and my mushrooms were cold and soggy. With an $11 delivery fee and a pre-paid tip on top of their already higher-than-average prices, I expected much, much better. Such a bummer.

YUM. I was so excited to finally drag my butt up here to try out FOTM. I arrived before my party so I checked out the menu, ordered a beer and snagged a table on the patio. When we were ready to order we headed up to the counter and put in our food order as well as more drinks. While it seemed to take a long time for our food to come (no idea if it was really a long time or not I was just hungry) we enjoyed the patio and the beers. My friend warned me that the wings are on the smaller side since they're organic, etc. and I have to say that once they arrived and I tasted them I was 100% okay with that. I'm a girl that likes to eat wings. I don't EVER eat the wings down to the bone for many reasons that I won't list but mostly because they're just gross. These wings however were eaten cleanly off the bone and I have to say that I believe that says something about how awesome these are. Sure, they're a bit smaller than your run of the mill wings and they're a bit pricier but they are totally worth it. Our friend had a wrap that looked delicious and I had a side salad that was really yummy. I should have gone with my gut and ordered some sweet potato fries but I know I'll be back and can try them then. Staff was super friendly and I didn't get the disinterested vibe at all. We had multiple people ask us if we needed anything and the girl behind the bar was awesome. I'm just bummed I don't live in the neighborhood because I know this would be in a regular rotation of places we eat out. Perhaps a good reason to move!

Great wings, friendly staff, excellent beer selection. This is an ideal place to grab a beer with friends, catch a game or enjoy their patio. Be sure to ask about the specials - They do a an amazing Philly Pita....They also have a fantastic craft beer list but are not snobs about it. You want a PBR, you get the PBR. Cheers

Fire On the Mountain is a chain, but you'd never know it. A wide variety of flavors and heat levels, perfectly sauced, crispy wings, yummy salads with super fresh ingredients, and a wide variety of tasty sandwiches--there's really something for everyone here, especially as you can swap out the chicken for seitan and make just about anything vegetarian. Add to that the fact that they feature quite a few draft beers (including several local brews) and compare it to a widely known, four-hoofed (and over-poweringly vinegary) chain, and it's really no wonder that I used to think the location on East Burnside in Portland was a one-off. I've had a little of everything here, and I can confidently say that my favorite sauce is the honey bourbon, but my all-time favorite choice is the honey BBQ chicken sandwich. I love wings, but more than that, I love how the BBQ sauce, the juicy chicken, the crisp lettuce, the fresh tomato, spicy-sweet onion, and garlic mayo work together to achieve this balance that's just, well, delicious. I could go on (probably for longer than necessary), but you're better off just trying it for yourself. Go!

Johnie B.

Lots of debate here about wings and pricing at FOTM. My take - they are small, they are expensive, they are good. I really went to try out and buy some of their sauces. I bought a few wings to go and picked up a couple of half-pints of Spicy Peanut and El Jefe. Pricing for sauce make the wings look like a bargain. At $8/pint that would be $64/gallon. Anchor Bar, the granddaddy of all hot wings in Buffalo, NY charges $29/gallon for their sauce. I'm just sayin'. The sauces are good but I'll use them on wings I buy from my local wingery. When they're gone, they're gone, my curiosity having been sated. A nice place. Bring money.

Being a "wing" connoisseur I am skeptical of places that advertise a claim to fame for "best wings" of anywhere. This is why I shrug it off when I see it on a menu at a restaurant that doesn't even specialize in wings... That being said, when a place is called Fire on the Mountain, they obviously claim to SPECIALIZE in hot wings, thus it's realistic to have pretty high expectations... Not so much here. Actually more disappointed than when I visit Hooters - and let's face it, Hooters blows and even the girls and the outfits don't even suffice for a good time anymore. The hot wings at Fire on the Mountain can best be described as a meager attempt at dry, charred flesh and bone drenched in OKAY sauce. The two positive factors of this place is the customer service which is great, and the fact that you can sample sauces before ordering. Other than that, expect very very VERY small, over-cooked, and HIGHLY over-priced wings for the quality / quantity that you receive. If you want amazing wings - visit Vine St. Pub in City Park neighborhood. They advertise "best wings in Denver" and I laughed... and was promptly corrected. They truly are the very BEST I have ever had if you like a lot of meat on a wing, incredible sauce flavor, and crispy breading. IN-CRED-I-BLE. Try both the BBQ and traditional Buffalo - you will NOT be disappointed. If you want to stay in the Highlands/Berkeley neighborhood and have pretty fantastic hot wings, visit Patrick Carroll's or Pizza Pub - neither of which you would expect to offer impressive hot wings. Pat Carroll's provides a smoky flavor which sets them apart. Not a lot of breading but a decent sized wing for the money and the flavor is right up there with Vine St. Pub. I have a hard time picking which one I like more... It just depends on my mood. Just the opinion of a foodie but I'd say don't waste your money if you want excellent hot wings... Not even the atmosphere can compensate for the menu... :(

Great restaurant! Awesome wings with 12 different sauces, you also get 1 sauce choice for every 6 wings or fraction there of (1 for 6, 2 for 9 or 12, 3 for 15 or 18, etc..) The Jamaican Jerk Burger or Chicken sandwich are my absolute favorite. A great selection of beers on tap. Outdoor patio that usually fills up in after work hours. I think the owner (or maybe general manager) is usually in the restaurant making sure his patrons are happy and satisfied. They also have fried deserts (twinkies, nutter butters, and oreos) if you feel like indulging.

Dan H.

Great vegan options as they have seitan wings. Staff is friendly. They have tater tots which is a huge plus in our book. We need to go a few more times to get a better feel for the place.

So, I have deemed this place; "the place stoners go to get ripped off." The place was playing some and by some I mean only Grateful Dead and seemed to be more of a hippie run establishment. So we order some food, comes out to thirty-eight and some change, kind of had sticker shock for a second but felt it could be worth it... nope. I will give the positive first, the sauces are pretty darn impressive, and the fries were pretty tasty as well. The down side? Pretty much the rest of it. We waited for about five to tens minutes for it come out. Small wings, actually tiny... This is what amazed me most about the price of this place. The way the price system at this place seems to work is a buck a wing, which I can call fair. However, there was very little meat on the wings and they were rather small. I can't understand how they are able to get repeat business with the small product that is served. It took twelve wings to get me almost full, with fries. normally I can eat five or six and be fine. I did over order as I wanted to try a couple sauces, and I am glad I did. My girlfriend ended up ordering the seitan wings. The portion was spot on for her, actually it was more than enough. The problem comes from she was unable to get passed eating four of the twelve she ordered, why might you ask? Well, it turns out they were hard, hard in the sense that they couldn't be eaten with a fork and knife. She said they tasted great, but were inedible. Just as we were about to finish up the girl started to flip (close put chairs upside down on the table) the section we were sitting in, and that is just rude as it makes people feel rushed and undesired. She did this at 8:10 and the establishment doesn't close until 11:00, seemed unneeded to me. So after going to the place instead of take out and trying to give this place a shot after the who's on first situation last time I tried to attempt this place, I will not be going back. I really gave this place the most fair shot I could and it just comes up short. $38 = 12 vegan wings + 12 traditional wings + small fry + med tot + two drinks

Great beer selection and outstanding ambiance. Fire on the Mountain is one of the best places to relax in Denver on a Sunday afternoon. I moved away from town, but I'd definitely check out their outdoor patio when I'm back in the area. They're very specific and deliberate about their food selection - and it shows.

JJ J.

Definitely the most pleasantly surprising place I've been to in my front range search for good wings. This feels like friendly corner pub with an impressive tap list and great outdoor seating, that happens to also serve great wings. I love that there's a sample platter out front so you can taste all the sauces to see what you're in the mood for. Their bourbon chipotle sauce was a nice surprise. Their El Jefe, the hottest, had that perfect quality where it actually got hotter the more you ate it. The staff was super friendly. I can't wait to go back and take their wing challenge. The only downside is that the wings are a bit small, but as they state in their menu, that's just because they use cage-free chickens which don't come with tons of growth hormones. It may be a little expensive per pound, but I think it's totally worth it.

I live right down the street and I definitely think this is going to be our new hang out. The laid back atmosphere is relaxing and fun and the menus (drink and food) have a good variety at a great price. Wings were good, burger was great. Loved the fried pickles and onion rings. My favorite drink is the farmers daughter! It's super refreshing and a good delicious alternative to beer. Don't ask what's in it just try it. All around really impressed with the food, service, friendliness, atmosphere and price.

Got a groupon-type deal to try this place and I was sooo excited for some veggie wings! Sadly, this was kind of a bust. Our group of 4 (plus a baby) got there around 5:45, and found a nice table in back with room for everyone. We ordered fried dill pickles and tater tots with queso to start (note: this is not a "healthy eating" joint!). The pickles were decent - I prefer a thinner sliced pickle, and these are deep fried pickle spears. The tots were pretty basic good tots, but the queso was almost completely flavorless. Then came the veggie wings. After sampling all of the hot sauces, I decided to get cilantro lime and "hot" wing sauce. The sauces were good..the veggie wings were NOT good. The seitan was really crumbly, dense, and salty - not crispy and chewy like other seitan wings that I've tried. They were honestly pretty bad. I ate 2 just to be polite, and then left the rest. No one wanted them and it was a total waste of money. To be fair, the meat eaters in the group were happier. My bf really liked his hamburger and his onion rings were exceptional. Our friends got boneless wings, and they had no complaints with those. But, if you're a vegetarian and you're looking for an awesome veg-wing experience, then this is not the place! Stick to Watercourse.

When I go somewhere that specializes in wings, I freak out. I'm weird about meat and I can't do hot. So, imagine my surprise when, at Fire on the Mountain, they have all of their sauces to sample with celery so you (I) can see what you (I) can tolerate! Not only that, but I was also lucky enough to get the low down from the owner, Andrea, on the great quality of their meats. One Asian chicken salad and order of tots later, I was happy as a clam. Or chicken (Get it? Meat reference?). What a great experience :) Thanks FOTM for doing it right!

Hands dowm the best wings in Denver. Or anywhere for that matter. People that work here are always friendly and take good care of you. I cant decide my favorite sauce. Its a toss up between the Bourbon Chipolte, the Raspberry Habenero or just the Hot. All are top notch. Fries also kick major ass. They also rotate their tap beer almost every few days, which makes me come back more. Great atmosphere and scenery as well.

I went for the beer and was pleasantly pleased. Unique selection, helpful staff (Thanks Bell) and friendly people. Not your usual bar. Parking off 32nd during the week was no problem. Grateful Dead's Fire on the Mountain: youtube.com/watch?v=YAhEâ€¦

Coming from the east coast, very close to buffalo, I will say I have yet to find a wing establishment with 1 good wings and 2 a variety of sauce selections. FOTM is by far the best wing place I have come across in my 4.5 years I have been in this fine state. I am willing to pay a higher rate for good wings if they really are good and they are not stuffed with hormones and other crap. Every time we have gone to FOTM we have received exceptional service, great wings, and have left satisfied. They have great wing night specials if you are worried about pricey wings and a great beer selection. We will be coming back for more for of their delicious saucy wings in the future! Who knows maybe someday they will even add my favorite east coast sauce to their rotation, honey BBQ Cajun parm. . . . Yum!

As long as you know what type of place you're going to, this is pretty fabulous. It's not fancy (you order, sit down, fill your own drinks, and wait for food to be dropped off), but is full of both regular AND vegetarian wings. While personally, I prefer the seitan wings at Watercouse/City O City, I enjoy having more vegan wing options near by. At the register, you can taste all of the different sauces, which was nice (especially because I can't handle too much spice). Staff is friendly and super laid back, and the food comes out hot and tasty. Will definitely be back to try more of their vegetarian options.

Great service. Cozy place. Samples of sauces available, though the hot I sampled seemed more spicy than what was on the wings. Essentially fair wings, good sauces, will not go back, at least for the wings.

DELICIOUS. If you like chicken wings and beer come here. Came in for lunch and had a great beer with my meal. Great beer prices and lunch specials. You can taste the sauces with celery sticks before you even order. It's a great chicken wing experience.

Here's my reasoning. First, I'm from Buffalo, my first job was at a wing bar, and this place doesn't compare to other wing joints in town. Here's my reasoning...The price is a little on the ridiculous side for what you get. The wings were smaller than the wings I get at a place who serves $5 all you can eat wings, yet I paid more for there's...The sauces were quite generic and seemed to be all based with a buffalo sauce. For an example, my wife, I, and a friend went and ate there, we got a frisbee full of hashbrowns (that was cool), 12 wings, 7 chicken tenders, a salad, three adult beverages, and our bill was $73 with tip. That seems a bit much for a local wing joint. I guess that is the dangerous part of owning a chicken place in the Highlands...gotta price em high to pay the rent!

I really, really wanted to like this place, I mean that. My husband and I were very excited when it opened up in our neighborhood as we met at college in Buffalo 20+ years ago, and LOVE wings. Have eaten tons in the past. We don't eat them often now; he's mostly vegetarian and we both prefer a healthier meal...but the craving hit, so we ordered take out on a cold night and were seriously looking forward to our meal. We couldn't have been more disappointed. We ordered mild wings, seitan wings, and an appetizer sampler. Everyone is right, $1 a wing is expensive. However, I would have been fine with the price (especially since they were free range chickens) if they hadn't included wings that were smaller than my thumb or pinky (or almost anything). I was expecting small, but they sold me wings that should NOT have been included in any order...they were teeny tiny compared to the rest, and it was glaring in an order of less than 20 wings. And at $1 a wing, you feel like you're getting ripped off when they throw those in. There shouldn't be mostly normal sized wings and then a bunch of tiny ones...it's a glaring ripoff. I liked the mild sauce, and the fact that the wings weren't swimming in it...also, their blue cheese dressing appeared to be the real thing. That earns them a star, but that's about it. My husband hated the seitan wings, and he likes pretty much anything vegetarian. His exact words were, "They are inedible; not everything should be buffaloed". Aside from being inedible, they looked a little like a container of Mr. Hanky's (that's a poop reference). The entire order was thrown out. Finally, the appetizer sampler...how can you ruin french fries, pickles, and onion rings? I don't know, but it was pretty lousy...maybe we were there on a bad night, but for $10, it was a plate of greasy-not-so-tasty food. We picked at the french fries (super greasy, overly salted and mushy) but the onion rings were way too greasy, you know when you pick the coating off the rings they aren't great onion rings. And everyone seems to love the fried pickles, but they were tasteless; seems like a sad thing to do to a yummy pickle, we didn't eat those either, they got tossed. Not good at all, I can't recommend any of it. And here's the kicker: in addition to the bad food, WE WERE OVERCHARGED!!! I didn't realize it, since I didn't ask for a price over the phone...but I knew it was going to be $32 after adding it up on the menu. My husband was the one who picked it up and they charged him over $38...there is not $6 of tax on a $32 meal. Maybe they charged us for a larger order of seitan or wings, either way, it was insult to injury. If I'd known at the time of pick up, I would have said something to them; but since the husband didn't realize how much it was supposed to be, and there was no receipt in the bag when he got home...well, we were kind of stuck. And pissed off. Charging extra for a crappy meal sucks. And the ending to the meal? My hubby got sick and threw up within a half hour, and I had a belly ache for most of the evening...blame it on fried foods maybe, but this didn't happen the last time we ate wings and fries. We're not THAT old. So many wonderful places to eat on 32nd & Lowell, and we made a mistake...if I knew we were going to spend almost $40 on crappy food, we could have gone and had a great meal at any of the other places on the block...Stella or Bang or Meade Street or Sushi Hai...or could have had 2 meals for that price at Chipotle or Garbanzos or any of the pizza places...they are all good...we won't be making this mistake again.

I stumbled into this place because I was starving it is was the first restaurant I saw. When I walked it the place had a fun artsy laid back vibe. The girl who took my order was very nice. On the counter where you order they had their different sauces that you could try with a celery stick which was neat and helpful. They also had a great selection of beer. I had the buffalo lime cilantro wings which was extremely delicious with just the right amount of heat. I also had the bacon blue burger which was phenomenal! The burger was cooked to perfection with a 1/3 3lb of natural grass feed beef that was extremely juicy and full of flavor. The fries were also homemade and very good. I was very impressed with the quality of food from Fire on the Mountain and will definitely be going back again.

I'm not a wing person, but I really enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Salad with Mixed baby greens, crisp romaine, charbroiled chicken breast with our signature wing sauce, red onions, tomato, bleu cheese crumbles and chunky bleu cheese dressing. You get to pick which hot sauce you want on the chicken. I went with mild and it was really good. Cool space, friendly people and great artwork on the walls.

Their food is fine, but their service is so disorganized and haphazard that I wouldn't try it again. We had a complete fiasco with our food - my order came out twice and my husband's never came out at all. It was a headache to order and we were left waiting forever for our food. If the food were amazing, I might be willing to try and give them another shot but even thinking about trying to return to that place gives me anxiety.

This is a fun place to be on game day. Their wings come from organic, special chickens so they cost a little more, and they're a little small, but they're quite tasty. All the sauces are flavorful, with a wide assortment. My favorite is bourbon chipotle. As for non-wing foods, the regular burger is thick and juicy. The fries are just a little sweet, different but good. The mushroom caps are bland, would skip those. Great assortment of local and other beers, always changing.

The wings here are excellent! The chicken is hormone free RedBird chicken (which in my opinion is the ONLY chicken to eat!) They have an excellent selection of sauces. My favorites are the Lime Cilantro and Bourbon Chipotle. The tater tots are delicious as well. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they are a little on the expensive side. Delicious nevertheless!

I'm somehow missing how this place is averaging 4-stars on Yelp. This makes me think that folks just haven't found some of the actual good wing spots in D-town. I loves me a good wing from time to time so I've ordered them at a variety of different places. Let me help you find the REALLY good wings in Denver: Roo Bar - Go here. Order the wings with crack sauce. No, not the buffalo sauce - the crack sauce. You will be very happy. Big Hoss - Sometimes, on a good day with a good cook, the pit wings are fabulous. Sometimes they are overcooked and just average, but on those good days... heaven. Marco's Coal Fired Pizza - Really, really good wings. Not the spicy Buffalo variety, but good nonetheless and in many ways better. The British Bulldog - The wings here are Pakistani-inspired and are served with little corners of pita bread. Different, yes, but soooo tasty. The wings we had at FOTM were scrawny, overcooked, expensive and flavorless. I just don't get it. To be fair, our fries were MUCH better than average, but the onion rings were bready, moist and tasteless. Meh... whatever.

Went for lunch with my brother on a Monday thinking that it would be a great new spot that he coud add to his rotation. Boy were we wrong. We each had the lunch special, which was tragically overpriced. At $1 per wing for a small order, I wonder how these people ever sell any. The wings were small, I mean embarrasingly small. The sauces were OK, better than what you would get at Buffalo Wild wings and more abundant on the wings, but that is where the good things stop. We waited for 20 minutes for our food, The fries were very overcooked and as I mentioned earlier the wings were very small. I was not impressed and will not be back, sorry Fire on the Mountain.

I went back here recently to get food to go. No service issues, friendly employees. The seitan wings are so tasty, and they are good-sized as well; an order of 6 for $6 is far more than I can eat at once. I have to up it to 4 stars.

I'm currently in a love-hate mood about FOTM. I'm from Buffalo(-ish), NY. So yea, I have kinda high wing standards. And really, I love their wings. I love their traditional sauces, I love their weird sauces, I love that they have real wings (not breaded) and boneless and even fake-meat wings. But I swear this place is too popular for their own good. The first time I ordered take out. Their lines were SO BUSY I couldn't even place a phone-in order. So I went there, made my order and then just waited for it. The second time we went to dine-in for their wildfire relief fundraiser dealio and once again so packed some of our food came out and some didn't. When we tried to get it fixed they were clearly very sorry and offered a refund to my friend, but then couldn't even figure out a way to properly refund his money. Do I like their product and location, yes it's wonderful. But it will definitely be a take-out only place for us for awhile, which is a shame as they have a cool patio that you can bring your dog and consume booze on. Maybe once they work out the kinks.

These amazing wings, in a perfect neighborhood location (around the corner from our house), deserve nothing less than 5 stars every time. Not to mention their fries and queso :) We've tried all of their flavors, each one creative and tasty. My fav with forever be hot buffalo ;) The staff is awesome. And the owners have a cool, humble 'we just happen to be successful' attitude. Great beer selection, too! We had our meet and greet for our friends and family 2 days before our wedding to show them this gem, and everyone raves about it still! They were so accommodating. We will forever be regulars! Ps, I'm sure the whole menu is amazing, I've just never strayed Away from our tried and true wings ;)

HORRIBLE DENVER, HORRIBLE!!! Just recently moved to Denver a few weeks ago from Portland, OR, and noticed that a FOTM just recently opened, even in my own neighborhood. After visiting and sometimes living at all 3 FOTM in portland, I knew I couldnt go wrong. HOLY SHIT, I was dead wrong. Service here is Denver is not even close to what Ive experienced at the other 3. They should change the name because its an insult to the original. Service is extremely slow and they don't even answer the phone to place take-out orders. I don't even want to waste my time complaining about this place because its a waste of time. Its too bad because their wings are awesome. Good job denver, for ruining good hot wings.

So I have been going to Fire on the Mountain for quite a while now and my first reaction was 'this place is awesome!' The original excitement has slowly waned as the quality/ consistency seems to waver. Recently, our order of wings (lime cilantro & raspberry hab...so good!) came out and they were way too saucy and all 12 were drumettes. Odd. And I know the wings come from happy little chickens on happy little farms where they eat and live better than me but tonight they were just way too small. Possibly a baby or midget chicken. Tots were damn good though. If the place weren't so close, I would probably not return. So lazy....

I have very high hopes for this place, 12 different sauces and a full bar, where can I sign up! I went here on the first night they were open and they lost our order, which meant that I was starving by the time the food came. In their defense, it was their first day and the owner came over and offered to comp our dinner, good save! The food was good, stick with the wings though, the salad left a lot to be desired. All the ladies out there should try the 'farmers daughter' cocktail, some sort of delicious concoction whose ingredients will remain a secret...
