Restaurant Review - Fire on the Mountain - Bend, Oregon I had lunch here with a friend and his wife, whom I just met. This is a very casual restaurant. In fact, pretty much everything about Fire on the Mountain is casual. The staff was mellow, and it is a standard walk-up, order, get a number, and find-a-seat setup. That part went smoothly. We sat outside, which was a comfortable space. The whole restaurant feels airy, relaxed, and yes, very casual. Our order came out fairly quickly. The food was presented well, but this is where the experience fell short. My Straight-Up Chicken Sandwich lived up to its name. It was just that, a straight-up chicken sandwich. Nothing really set it apart from what I could throw together at home. The tater tots were straight out of a school cafeteria or from my own freezer and air fryer. Two thumbs up, however, for the Hawaiian Punch. I checked with my dining companions, and they agreed their meals were on the average side. One mentioned her BBQ chicken salad was overdressed. "Doused" was the word she used. The other said the barbecue sauce on his sandwich was thin and bland. Prices are right in line with what is common these days. Sandwiches run about $16 to $17, with $2 to $3 add-ons for cheese, bacon, etc. With tip, lunch for the three of us came to about $59. That is standard for Bend now, though it still stings. I pressed the printed ticket button but never received one, and I did not bother to ask. Not a big deal. Overall, it was a nice lunch with good company. The space is pleasant, and the staff covered the basics. But the food did not stand out, and there was nothing about the experience that would make me suggest to friends, "Hey, let's go to Fire on the Mountain." I will probably pass on a return visit. read more

HAVE YOU BEEN HERE ??? WOW!!! We were at the Little Woody beer, Cider and Whiskey festival and Chris from the Fire on the Mountain beer booth sent us to Fire on the Mountain Restaurant assuring us we would get a great meal. WE DID! The food was so GOOD!!! Everyone ordered something different and it was all good. Well thought out burger flavors with great fresh ingredients. I'd say comparable to a 900 wall burger, if you know you know. Chris recommended the Jamaican jerk burger with pineapple it was SO GOOD. I had a huge salad and ate every bite!!! ORDER THE SWEET POTATO FRIES I think they were the best I've ever had and I try them everywhere I go LOL. Indoor and outdoor seating with corn hole. read more

Great place after a long drive up the mountain! Sandwiches were fantastic, and the salads are amazing. Had my first deep fried Oreo and couldn't believe how good it was- like funnel cake and an Oreo had a baby. Not too sweet, and so good! read more

Extremely unprofessional management. I had a bad experience here from start to finish. The head person in charge had an attitude with me from the moment I entered. When it was time to pay my $38.00 bill, I handed her a $50.00 note and said the change was for the bartender. She refused to take the cash, claiming the registers were already closed out for the night. Cash is still legal tender, and treating a paying customer like an inconvenience is a terrible way to run a business. I won't be returning. read more

Enjoyed coming in here and letting my nephews try some hot wings. They definitely enjoyed trying some different flavors and they tried the fried pickles as well. I loved the pickles, but they weren't huge fans. We went in a little early and by the time we were done it was packed. read more

I drove past this place a few times before spotting it. Dark colored sign and a high fence blocking view of costumers from the very busy 3rd street. I'm not sure our annually scorched mountain-living citizens appreciate the name of this place anyway! Rethink? Need a visible sign anyway. As for the food and service. Service was better. Had the "Buffalo Hot" wings. Hot they were not. If you like the top of your head to tingle, go for the unimaginative named "Extra Hot". The bone-in wings are not great, (Buffalo wild wings are better). Fries are twice fried, therefore very good. Short menu of sandos, salads etc makes this a 2-visit stop with high hopes. The beers good. Only 6 on tap, but that's enough. Good luck men. Got some challenges in a highly competitive market. read more

Not the best or friendliest experience. I do not think we will be back. Wings were good, staff did not give a sh*t.

I love that they offer vegan drum sticks and vegan nuggets. I also love that the sauces are clearly labeled including if they have added sugar. This is amazing. I wish all restaurants were so open and good with labeling. The interior is also beautiful. Unfortunately, our wings came out extremely overcooked. They should be flash fried; just a little golden and they were nearly black. Having already waited over 30 minutes (we got there at 5pm!) for 12 wings, we suffered through them instead of sending them back. They were also really scant with the sauce. There was barely any sauce. We ordered mild buffalo and BBQ. We could barely taste the sauces. The vegan ranch was good, however. The wings were barely edible, mostly bc they were so overcooked. The breaded nuggets were absolutely disgusting. They tasted like rancid fish sticks. I think they must not change their oil regularly. Overall very disappointed but hopefully they will improve. They have beer (their own) and cocktails with some rather cool names and concoctions. We did not try any. Lastly this is one of the LOUDEST places I've ever been to. I couldn't hear my friends. Lastly the read more

Great wings but the chicken sandwiches and salads are hard to beat. Worth the wait for fresh, hot food. The service is efficient, no annoying chitchat but fantastic recs (jerk chicken salad and tots). The location is clean but busy, you might want to park on the street. A good spot if you need to eat solo. read more

This was our second time here and just as amazing as the first. Five start customer service, the employees are amazing! The food is fantastic: Burgers, wings tots, fries, a huge side salad and more. Love the decor, has indoor and outdoor seating (so you can bring your fury friend). Great place to watch sports on their tv's. I'm a happy hour fan, and they have a great happy hour menu till 5pm! I believe it's starts at 2 or 3pm. I'm not sure why several people's reviews have complained that the wings are small... they are normal sized party wings/legs.....not jacked up on hormones. They are delicious and quality tasting, read more

This is a "cool" place. The food is okay. The beer is nice. The slowness of the service brings it all down a notch. i have been here four times and it ALWAYS takes a long time to get the food. Too long for chicken wings. Too long for food of this middling quality. read more

We love FOTM and I appreciate the wings aren't so abnormally gigantic that they gross you out. Seriously, I find their wings to be just fine in size, crispy, and their sauces and rubs are tasty. Tots with ranch are always spot on. read more

Wings were small and while I understand this is Bend and everything is expensive it was just too expensive for what we got. Just a basic wing and too small for the hype, they seriously told me they had large wings. Service was ok and atmosphere was decent. Stand in line order food get a number they bring it to you. Variety of sauces and flavors was good. read more

Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Fire on the Mountain is a small Portland-based chain that recently opened in Bend. It's a wing restaurant that also serves appetizers, salads, sandwiches and wraps. The menu includes two varieties of vegetarian/vegan fake chicken items. They offer beer, cider and wine. Beer is either their own brand on draft or one of a couple local brews in cans. Wine is canned. - 9-piece wings: Ordered with medium Buffalo sauce (they have quite a few choices here) which is about as advertised - medium hot. They are messy with a lot of sauce added. While I ordered and paid for nine pieces (actually half wings), I received twelve. The wings are small. Not bad but really nothing special. If you like wings, you'll probably be satisfied. - Setup is fast casual: order at the counter, they'll bring food and drinks to you. Annoyingly, they ask for a phone number along with your name. I declined to give my phone number - they have no business asking. - There's a very small bar area, a few booths and several high top tables. Mobility challenged folks should have no trouble with the booths. - LOUD. Very loud. They have the music cranked up to the point of making conversation difficult. I took my wings to go although I had wanted to try one of their in-house draft beers. - Adequate parking in front of the restaurant. FOTM is actually on Campfire Hotel property across the street from the main hotel. - Website is borderline useless. It doesn't provide the location or the complete hours of operation. Overall, A-OK. read more

okay, upgrading my original review from 3 stars to 4 stars. Why? the wings still aren't the best or the worst. But the Emma sandwich is awesome. The red onions really pop and give the sandwich some refreshing flavor in addition to the classic combo of buffalo wing sauce and bleu cheese. Lettuce, tomato and garlic aioli (fancy mayo) balance it all out, too. It's a good sandwich. Even as takeout, it wasn't as fresh or hot when I got it home, but it was still really, really good. It's a hefty portion of food. I asked for tater tots instead of fries. the takeout container was pretty heavy. I actually weighed the meal when I got home. Almost 1 lb. 9 oz. Okay, at $16.50...seems expensive for a sandwich. But look at it this way. The side of tots was a big as their side order of tots ordered separately. which is almost $6 if you order it by itself. So that's like $10.50 for the sandwich if you look at it that way. Fair deal. And the tots didn't disappoint. Hot and crispy like the first time I had them. You get your money's worth with this sandwich. read more

HORRIBLE BARTENDER - where to start...oh, I'll start at the part where he had the bottle of cheap rum on the counter for five minutes but never made my simple $9 rum and coke I wanted to wash down the dry, tasteless, odd-colored chicken. After watching the bartender pour everyone's drinks, get bored and start talking to equally bored coworkers, I walked over and had to ask for my rum and coke. No apologies, no care in the world bc you tip when you pay and he be as rude as he wants to bc he's already got your money. Terrible chicken, terrible service and outrageous prices. First and last time there. read more

We have been wanting to try this place. We made the plan and went in at around 1pm last week. The lunch crowd had obviously gone as we were the only customers. We ordered lunch and waited for our wings, and waited, and waited. After 30 minutes they finally arrived. 30 minutes? why so long. like other reviewers have talked about the wings are really small. Not sure its chicken wings. Might be pigeon, I don't know. Very French! Damn the wings are TINY. I ordered two sauces the spicy peanut and the Jamaican Jerk. Lets start with the spicy peanut. It didn't taste like peanuts nor was it spicy. Bland dry tiny wings. Not good. The Jerk flavor was great smothered on the dry tiny wings, earned them two stars. I like the flavor of clove in it. With all the amazing food around Bend this is a place to skip. I don't think they will be around long serving food like that and with a half hour wait. I definitely dont recomend spending almost $20 for twelve tiny wings. Did I meantion how tiny they are? read more

Chicken tenders are pretty small and I expected more especially if I'm paying more than $13 dollars. Fries are sad looking. I like the options have being able to order naked wings with the sauce on the side. Service is friendly and fast. Whole restaurant is clean and welcoming. read more

I don't appreciate hearing that I was ridiculed We got some food, but I couldn't finish it so I boxed it up quite nicely and then accidentally left it on the table and I started to drive away, but then I parked and went back in, but unfortunately the table had already been cleared off and these men who were sitting near us, said they just laughed as they threw the boxes away read more

Here's the bottom line.... Food, Service, and Drinks are GREAT. BUT THE WINGS ARE TINY .... I'm talking about the smallest wings I have ever been served. If they had standard sized wings we would be regulars, and this would be a 5 star place. read more

My sister and I decided to check out Fire on the Mountain. What a great idea! I had The Emma. Excellent!! Chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce, onion and blue cheese crumbles with a garlic aioli sauce. Fries on the side. So good!! This place has a good vibe. Our server, Max, was most helpful and gave us a bit of the history of FOTM. Beer and cocktails available. We plan to go back. read more

I'd read reviews and I was hesitant, but I found this place really welcoming and the food was good. I sat at the bar. Service was friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and it tasted good. What more could you ask for? Prices were reasonable, definitely not cheap. read more

There wings are really small the service here was good and the interior was really nice but wings have almost no meat on them and we had the nacho it just tasted really processed cheese and was not good if the wings were of normal size and had more meat and they used some higher quality ingredianrs I think we would have really liked the place. read more

Good buffalo wings & the blue cheese dressing is top notch. The lunch special is a good deal: 6 wings, celery, dressing, drink & lots of yummy tater tots. The place is friendly with lots of beer choices. I got the medium hot level on the wings & it was just tangy enough! Parking is tough & a little wait for the wings but if you like buffalo wings this is the place to go. read more

Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings - Lunch special! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Ok I really wanted to love this place but I can't. First the wigs are freaking TINY! I do mean Tiny, like smaller than my pinky. You can go to almost any other place in town and get wings that are at least worth the price. $18 for a dozen wings that are literally like chewing the meat off of Your pinky is ridiculous. Secondly, it is slow AF!! There's literally no one in here, and I've been waiting 25 minutes for a dozen wings. Then I mentioned that the wings are tiny. ? If you normally order 12 wings, you better order 18-25. No joke. I will not be back! read more

Pros: The flavor is good and many sauce options Cons: Very pricey for what you get! I spent around $117 ordering 7 piece tender plate, a flying saucer of fries, a 36 piece wings plate, a couple kids meals and a couple drinks. My party walked out, feeling quite hungry still. Wings weren't very meaty and the tenders were tiny. It was quite loud in there, hard to hear a conversation. It's a new place so of course it's a hype and everyone wants to try. Also, keep in mind, if you get there and there's an empty table you can't just go grab it and take a seat. You order first and "if" there's something available by the time you order then they will sit you. It's not very spacious in there. The person who took my order seemed quite annoyed when I asked if we could bring a couple tables together for my family, also it would be good if she wore a bra next time. If you're looking for a filling meal specially after dropping over $100 plus a tip, I do not recommend this place for families. read more

Meh. Wings were ok. They seemed unusually small compared to other places. Sauces were ok. Beer was good- better than the wings.

I was disappointed by FOTM people had really hyped to me based off the portland location. I really love chicken wings and was excited for a wing centered restaurant in town. As others have mentioned it's fast casual, with no options then to get in line to order or order online to go. The inside was nice and clean although a little bit loud. We got buffalo hot, cilantro lime and raspberry habenero wings on happy hour. The wings weren't very crispy and were pretty small. The Buffalo hot flavor was the best of the bunch but that's not saying much. I like Buffalo sauce when it's just Frank's red hot, butter and cayenne. This hot sauce was a yellowish color with what seemed like a bunch of additional ingredients which didn't add anything. Raspberry habanero was waaaay too tart and acidic that I didn't taste anything else. Cilantro lime again very very acidic almost like straight citric acid powder (think the stuff they coat sour patch kids in) no hint of cilantro. I wouldnt pay above happy hour prices. Honestly, wings at boneyard pub are bigger and their sauces taste better. read more

Poor value, as others have mentioned wings are tiny, flavor was average, I can go elsewhere in Bend and get two sandwiches for the price of one of theirs. Counter service, staff is friendly and ambiance is what you'd expect for a wing spot. read more

We came in around 6pm on a Saturday night, but it was the day Bend got 12" of snow, and were met by (i assume the manager or owner) at the door who was putting a sign up saying that they were closing early due to the weather. We happily obliged and told him we'd come back another time, but he insisted we stick around and we'd be the last customer of the night. We greatly appreciate the service and were eager to eat quick and get out so everyone could get home quick (there were still a few tables eating when we were there). This was our first time visiting, and the space is very nice. They did a great job with the dining area. Food was awesome. I'm not sure why there's so many sub-par reviews of the food. I had my hesitations given we were the last table of the night, but they still put their best foot forward. Husband got 12 wings with a couple different sauces, and i got chicken tenders with two sauces. Both were exceptionally crispy and the different flavors of sauces were great. Tenders were a little smaller than I'd expect, but i got the 5 piece and it was more than enough food for me. Overall, we will definitely return and appreciate the kind service and delicious food. Thank you Fire on the Mountain team! read more

The wings were spectacular W wings. Scrumsiddlyumptious and wheelchair accessible for our boy in the seat.

This is a fast casual restaurant that does a good job. Wings were solid. Sauces were very good. Blue cheese dressing was excellent. A bit pricey but everything in Bend typically is. read more

Flavor of the wings are pretty good but a few of the wings were very small and more like 1/2 a wing.

Outstanding wings!! Homemade sauces. The food was great. The service was great. So many sauces to choose from. I had the Jamaican jerk, my favorite and the strawberry habanero, also very yummy. I can't wait to go back to try some new flavors. We sat outside. It is 3rd but the fence blocks the traffic. Fun place to have a few drinks and great wings. read more

This Place is the best. wings and sauces are amazing. I love the Jamaican jerk and the fried Oreos are soo good
