This place was pretty awesome!! Located in the highlands neighborhood, it's a cool little spot that feels like a good neighborhood hang, with great food and a nice drink selection! The wait staff was awesome! Very attentive and helpful with all the questions we had regarding the menu! My son and I are indecisive and like to try new spots and let the server just surprise us with our food selections. They didn't disappoint today!! We started with the Buffalo FOTM fries, which are fresh cut fries covered with Buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, and green onions. The fries were hot, crispy, and fresh! Next, the waitress selected the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and The Julio. The Nashville chicken sandwich was a huge hand-battered breast covered in Nashville Hot oil, house made pickle, and served on a fresh brioche bun! We got it with tater tots, and they may have been the best tots I have ever had!! So crispy on the outside. Fluffy and potato-ey on the inside and perfectly seasoned with a house seasoning that is just the right amount of saltiness and a touch of sweet!! They were incredible! The Julio is a Grlled chicken breast, bacon, fried jalapeños, housemade queso, Lettuce, Tamato, Red onion, and a garlic aioli served on a Ciabatta roll. The sandwich was flavorful and tasted fresh. The bread was toasted and still soft and east to eat, which isn't always the case with Ciabatta. It came with fresh cut fries, and they were seasoned in the same house seasoning as the tots, and they were so good!! We also tried the vegan wings with the raspberry habanero sauce since we had never had a vegan wing before, and they weren't bad. I've never had anything like it, so I have no idea if they were a good version or not. To me, they were like a fried meatloaf cube. But the sauce was very good. Spicy with a touch of sweetness. Overall, we were pretty happy with our experience and would definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

I'm not a huge fan of seitan but... these "wings" are absolutely delicious. I love the raspberry habanero sauce and they have wonderful vegan ranch that you could buy by the pint!! read more

Been here so many times. Wings are by weight which is great. I prefer a smaller wing with more sauce to meat ratio. Service is typically good but, can be slower when it gets busy, which is does. Great wing flavors and alternatives to wings as well. A must for wings lovers. read more

A friend and I caught up over an early dinner. We sat on the patio and had an awesome server. Super attentive and everything arrived really quickly. I got the vegan gyro with tator tots. The tots were like nothing I've ever had. They have a sugar/salt sprinkle on them after being cooked to a perfect crisp, that makes them highly addictive. I shouldn't have eaten them all but I did with no regrets. The gyro was also outstanding and I appreciated the take with a vegan version even though I'm not a vegan. I brought my husband home a turkey bacon sammie with those tots. Even with a to go order, the flavors were spot on and he was a happy guy. read more

MY MOST RECENT VISIT: I just love this place, and you should too. Mondays have a draft special, and we caught the $4 can special (including 16 oz) on Wednesdays today. $10 and $15 (6 wings or 9 plus tots/fries (there is another one, but I can't eat more than 9 wings)) for a lunch special, great background music ALL the time. Raspberry Habanero is my go to sauce, but know they always have a sauce of the month. With 9 wings, you get two sauces, and I went with Garlic Parm today, and wife always loves the dry rub. She does tots and loves them, but I get the fries with a buffalo blue dipping side. They are a true team environment. Rowan was technically the bartender who greeted us, but they rotate in people to check on the welfare of the bar people. They have a fantastic selection of beers, and they have a Pliny the Younger tasting next Tuesday. I definitely recommend, and see you there (I will see you on Tuesday at 11am). read more

I got take out wings here as a recommendation from multiple people. The special lemon pepper dry rub was the star of the show though we also liked the garlic parm and honey bbq. Only reason this place didn't get 5 stars as it is quite pricey for how small the wings were. While I won't be rushing back, if you want quality wings with a price tag, I would recommend! read more

We stopped in for a quick drink after spending some time right outside the door at the Farmer's Market. They've got a decent selection of beers on tap along with a full bar. We'll def be back to dine in, especially after seeing several scrumptious burgers being taken to lucky patrons. Dang, if we had not just eaten. Lemme tell ya though, their spicy Bloody Marie was amazing. Round two.... Coming soon. read more

Came here to use my Denver Passport book before it expired - we've been here a handful of times. Summary of 4 star: Food - wings were flavorful. We got a basket of 9 with half raspberry habanero and half garlic Parmesan. The sauces were very flavorful but in my opinion definitely too much sauce in the basket, drowning the celery sticks and discarded chicken wings. Also the wings are fairly small - I get this is supposed to be good quality chicken but for the price I don't think I can justify it without using a bogo entree in our passport book! We also got the fuego Crunchwrap which left something to be desired. The bites with queso were good but it wasn't blended throughout super well so there were some dry bites. Service - our waitress was super nice and the right amount of attentive. Our food came out promptly and hot, and there was no issue using our passport book. Ambiance - we sat outside in the heated section and it wasn't cold at all despite it being a chilly night. Would like to come back in the future and see what inside seating looks like! Overall would come here again if I had some sort of discount, don't think the price:value ratio is there for me unfortunately to be a regular. The flavor:sauce ratio is a 5/5! read more

Not sure why you wouldn't try this place. The name Come on, creative along with the food Raspberry habanero......first, get it ..... It's hot But hotter than Buffalo hot but the flavor WOW! Fantastic service and I highly recommend this place! I don't live in Denver but I will go back one day. Try it, they won't disappoint. read more

FOTM is one of the few places I'll spoil myself with every once in awhile. Like I'll come here alone order my usual hot wings (all flats) with small tots and an IPA. One of the most satisfying meals in the world. There's even outlets in the side room to get work done. Whether you're here to watch the game, chill outside, or order to-go, FOTM doesn't disappoint. I didn't mention it in my last review, but service is always fast and efficient. The volume they're able to handle is impressive. Speaking of food, I've also gotten the nachos before, and those are fantastic. Someday I'll have to try a burger and fried pickles, but don't fix what isn't broken, ya know? Overall one of my favorite places to eat in Denver!!! read more

The service was poor; I had to wait an hour to eat. It began to rain while I was waiting for our food on the outside tent patio, and I was chilly in my summer dress.  In an effort to be helpful, the server turned on the heat, but that was the last I saw of him until we paid.  The food was mediocre; we ordered wings and a bacon cheeseburger, and I didn't finish my burger because it was soggy and fell apart. The wings were unappealing, and they seemed smaller than the last time I ate here. This place has changed and is falling down the mountain. read more

Woweeee. I didn't eat meat for 7 years and this was my first time eating chicken wings after that period. It made me sad I missed years of eating these good wings. I like the fact that they're small, no gross weird chicken taste. I still get the ick from different meats and this was not one of them. The sauces were absolutely amazing too. We tried Buffalo medium and parm garlic. I probably could have done hot but the medium had great flavor and a little heat at the end. This is only 5 blocks from me so I see it being a regular stop going forward. Also shoutout to Drew for the great service!! read more

This is the first wing spot that I've been to in Denver and this place did not disappoint! We arrived around 6:30pm and it was already pretty busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table which wasn't bad at all. They had indoor and outdoor seating. The inside was pretty cute, looked a little like a dive bar. My friend got a spicy margarita and I got the Odell sippin lemonade. They were pretty good but they did have a couple of fun looking cocktails that I would come back to try. It looked like they had a pretty good happy hour that ends at 6 PM with cocktail and food specials. For food we got the appetizer sampler which came with onion rings, fried pickles and fries. We got tater tots instead of fries. And it came with two dipping sauces and they were very tasty! We shared a bunch of wings and got to choose four flavors. We chose garlic parm, buffalo, sweet bbq, and raspberry habanero. Our favorite was the garlic parmesan! Overall the wings were a bit small (we did receive more than we ordered though) but the sauces were very good. read more

Finally swung by Fire on the Mountain the other day to try the wings I had heard so much about. This location has a little firepit outside that you can wait at, along with a pretty large canvas tent with seating. (We had to wait about 25 minutes on a Saturday afternoon, and got a seat inside). The beer selection was diverse (though some options a bit pricy). We got an appetizer sampler to start, which came with fried bits and things, including some really well executed fried pickle wedges and onion rings. (It's clear they do things by hand, and the breadcrumb coating held impressively). I got a basket of traditional wings, while one of my friends got the tenders (their boneless equivalent). As more recent reviewers noted, these are not jumbo in size, but they were still sufficiently filling. I got a buffalo sauce and a chipotle option on mine; the sauces were good, but the wings were over the top coated in sauce. I found that to ruin the chicken a bit from my perspective, so I would ask for it lighter next time. Service was friendly and efficient. p.s. I was pretty happy to read about some of the environmental efforts they take in running their business (compost, etc.), so definitely a joint you can feel good about checking out. read more

I've been hearing about this place on the podcast All Fantasy Everything, and I am beyond happy to report that I was glad to make a point to come here. I had heard nothing but the wings here and the sauce list was almost too hard to choose from! I went with the raspberry habanero and the jerk chicken, both came highly recommended and were off the charts delicious. The blue cheese for dippin was also great with the side salad but was the perfect cooling point for those habanero wings. I loved thee neighborhood vibe of the place, and was impressed by the amount of people carrying out while we were there. Even though we were sitting at an outside portion, the service was fantastic, our server made sure the beers kept coming, and had a perfect vibe! Definitely enjoyed this place and it beat my expectations. read more

Me and my daughter always go to this place and it always meets my expectations. Also the staff are always nice

This is my guilty pleasure! I love these restaurants, and they are locally owned so it feels better spending my money here. They have sweet potato tots and fries that are both delicious. Notes: their ranch is very dill based. I enjoy it, but different than one might expect. Their wings are small but they always error on the side of a few more than listed, I do classic hot. In person is always busy, I do takeout a lot read more

food was overall good. Service was terrible the waiter almost spilled a drink on me super rude. didn't let me pick 8 sauces meanwhile i got 2 orders of 24 wings you can get 4 diffent sauces for 24 wings made me choose the same sauces. Ambiance was chill not noisy you can relax have a good time with watery ranch, waitress tried to change and act nice towards the bill to get a tip. come to this place to get your honeymoon weekend destoryed. read more

They have so many good vegan and gluten free options - which was helpful when catering for a large event. read more

Skylar G -- thanks for the awesome 1 star review - probably saved me a trip for a mediocre wing experience. Andrea - the business owner: sorry - few actually care about how you source your wings. They are wings. As a LONG TIME connoisseur - I can tell you that "size matters" -- and if you wanna get right down to it - so does the grease they are fried in. You should be embarrassed to sell a wing for more than $1 each. Yes - it's been a long time (1995) but back in the day $.10 wings ruled the day. They were spare parts that many chefs used simply for stock! Make you money on beer. Make your money on great burgers - leverage your wings to get customers in the door - don't get all pretentious about Red Bird Farms! read more

Fire On The Mountain - Whining from the owner! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We love tired to FOTM for a beer release and stayed for dinner. It definitely met our expect but didn't blow us away. We also got the Appetizer sampler which comes with fries, fried pickles (FYI, spears not slices), and onion rings. It was fine but I didn't love the breading in the onion rings or pickles and as you know from previous posts, I am a bit of a fried pickle connoisseur, I prefer slices over spears. If your looking for a good lunch or dinner spot in a cute neighborhood this place is worth a try. read more

Fire On The Mountain - 9 bone in wings with Ranch, Sweet BBQ and Mild Buffalo sauces. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Thank you Fire on the Mountain for keeping my colorado food expectations high!!! Very fast and attentive service, I loved it! Quick with refills or any other requests! The food came out supper quick too. only took 5 minutes for the appetizers to come out after the drinks, fried pickles and onion rings were amazing. perfectly seasoned, I usually dislike speared shaped fried pickles but these were seriously amazing. the chipotle mayo that came with was perfect with them. about 6 minutes later all the food came out!! Cauliflower wings were perfectly crispyyyy. The raspberry habanero sauce was great but I loveddddd dipping them more in the garlic aioli that came with the onion rings and the ranch. but still, delicious all the 3 sauces/dips. My husband had the cheeseburger and added an extra patty I think, he as well loved it all. Overall, the best restaurant i've sat and eaten at in Colorado so far, hands down. read more

Came here for dinner with friends. I ordered a six count of the garlic Parmesan wings with a side of fries. The wings packed a lot of flavor. Sometimes garlic parm wings can be overly oily or outright dry but this was no where near the case for FOTM. I would definitely return to try the other flavors on the menu. read more

Well I think we've come here for the last time, super disappointed in the food. A few of my friends and I came here and 3 of us ordered wings. One ordered 18 wings for $30 and they were so small, the server even said they threw in extra for the size (2 extra). But here's the thing, every single one of his 20 wings were smaller than anyone else's at the table, some even half the size! They came and apologized and said they use non steroid wings, we get it and support that but when 20 wings are the size of a ranch sauce cup or smaller...it's just not worth it. At least mix up the sizes so that our friend at the table doesn't see 12 regular sized wings that outweigh every single one of his. read more

I am so bad about doing reviews right away. My family and I decided we were going her for my nieces birthday (she wanted wings) I found this place on Yelp and it had great reviews and the food looked amazing! Although I can't remember everything we had, I know it was all really good and flavorful. As for the service don't ever go during shift change. Our 1st waiter can't remember his name but we only saw him once to get our drink order even though we saw him wondering around for another 30 minutes or so before we saw our 2nd waitress. Our 2nd waitress was so much better, she was attentive and made sure we had what we needed, I believe her name was Stacy. The place was small and you felt like you were sitting with the table next to you but the food was good so it's worth it. read more

I made an online order for the Super Bowl yesterday. I received an email indicating that online orders aren't available. It was very accessible for deaf people, but I understood the situation. So I tried to call in advance, but no interpreter was available. I had to show up in person (after a 30-minute drive) and get told that they wouldn't take my order. The cashier was pretty mean and wouldn't read my explanation. read more

I've loved this place since it opened. I think the first time I went was like 10ish years ago to the highlands one. It quickly became one of my go to spots for wings. Now we go a lot for family gatherings and birthdays. It's just the best. My favorite sauces are Thai Peanut and the lime cilantro. The BBQ ones are slammin too. Fried pickles and the mozzarella wheels are an excellent side. But, the fries are the star side dish. Both regular and sweet potato. I don't recall if they brought it back or if it is just an old thing that I will always long for. But they used to do green chili fries and served it on a frisbee and I gotta say, that was pure joy. They also do a sauce of the month. Pronounced sawce o da month. One time they had this one for that was for a record release for this killer rock and roll band The Mother Fucking Ruckus. That one was the best hands down. And all the dudes in that band are amazing musicians and crazy handsome, you should check them out. Also side note the culture at this spot is awesome. They like literally only hire cool staff. I'm always blown away by the service. read more

YUM. So many fantastic flavor options!! I've been a few times and it hits the spot every single time. Lots of beer and other alcoholic drinks to choose from while you eat your chicken wings (or vegan ones, whatever you like). It's worth the wait!! read more

Overrated for sure! The burger was below average at best, salad was meh, wings are good but definitely small. Probably would not go back unless only for wings read more

Quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Tots were seasoned beautifully. Each sauce blew our minds. Couldn't recommend more! read more

I've read the comments about how the wings are ethically sourced and hormone free, but it still is hard to look past the fact that some of the wings are hardly even a full bite. I've attached the largest wing from our dinner with the smallest. The smallest one was smaller than my pinky finger. It was a very pricey meal for something we left feeling less than satisfied with. I appreciate the local sourcing and the business, but we probably won't be back. I will say, staff did bring more when we said something, and the sauces were good. The seitan was also good. read more

The sauces here are so delicious! I love a good variety and fire on the mountain delivers. Our server Molly was an angel and brought us a tasting wheel of sauces! Like a cake tasting but so much better because *** chicken wings***?!? We shared an 18 count and got to choose 3 flavors. Spicy peanut was hands down the best - an Asian flare and a kick of spice. Thank god for being able to taste the sauces because we didn't choose this one originally. YUM. I could order all 18 in spicy peanut and their ranch is amazing. Our next favorite was the raspberry habanero, which is definitely spicy but the sweet and spicy combo is everything. Cilantro lime was unique and refreshing - tasted like a wing dipped in salsa but good? Medium tots tossed in Cajun (an up charge of $0.99, but adds a nice punch) are the way to go, they're big enough to share. Only complaint was that the wings were a little cold and definitely shrimpy for the price - you can see how bony they are in the pic. Lots of tvs for sports and easy parking! read more

Loved my experience at fire on the mountain. We were worried about sitting outside because it's been so cold, but it was nice and toasty! The wings here were fire!! We got the cilantro lime (which tasted extremely cilantro limey and not like any other wing I've had before), hot Buffalo, and raspberry habanero (also a unique flavor but the raspberry is not very strong). And of course, we had to get a side - a mountain of tater tots (ordered a medium but it was definitely bigger than even larges at other restaurants). They tasted freshly fried and were perfectly crispy. read more

I literally cannot believe I was charged over $29 for 9 tiny, almost quarter sized bone in wings and 9 seemingly charred, chewy seitan wings. As well as a child cheeseburger and a few cold, soggy fries. The cauliflower "wings" were the best part but DEFINITELY not worth $14. Our entire meal was over $60. We ordered a few extra sauces and were missing the child drink and 2 sauces. After hearing good reviews about the downtown Denver location I was very excited to try the Highlands location a mile away. I feel completely ripped off unfortunately. I really wanted a new favorite wing place and this is not it. *Edit* I read owner responses below and greatly appreciate the fact the chickens were free range & well taken care of. Maybe just warn about the size so we're not expecting large meaty wings for the price? read more
