    Interior mural.
    Nancy H.

    Hands down, these are the best wings I've ever had. My kid and her beau live in PDX and star by this wing joint, so off we went to dine here one drizzly evening recently. We found street parking right in front of the restaurant, and I immediately noticed the take-out window facing the street, so people can easily pick up thier ordered meals to take-out. Convenient! The restaurant interior was small but clean and warm. (I am older and have circulation issues, so I was a bit nervous to read other reviews saying that it was cold inside. But it wasn't at all when we were there, thankfully! It was just right). I liked the casual, hippie-ish decor (oh so Portland-y! Check out my photo of one of the main interior murals depicting Frido Kahlo, Jimi Hendrix and Rosie the Riveter. Is that Jerry Garcia or Barry Gibb in the middle? We debated that!). Placing our orders at the cash was easy. The gal was super nice. I can't eat spicy girls so I hesitated when choosing which sauce to have on the wings; she said I could get a sample of any of them before deciding. I just opted for the sweet barbecue sauce (the only option with zero "stars". My kid and her partner got spicier sauces that they love but would literally kill me lol). We sat at a table and waited a while for our orders to arrive. (It did take a while, but they make it all fresh, and there were quite a few other diners in the restaurant). When our dinners arrived, omg they were SO SO good. My sweet barbecue sauce was delicious: not cloyingly sweet, as some sauces are, and still definitely zingy, but just not spicy-hot. In other words, not boring. Definitely zesty and flavorful. SO so good. And my kid and her partner were "sweating balls", as they say - and loving it! And the wings themselves were cooked perfectly, with a crispy outer skin, not at all greasy, and moist and tender inside. Excellent. And messy good! (The servers were super nice and brought us moist towelettes which were greatly appreciated!).

    Wings tasty, service bland. Beer clean, restaurant grimy. You want to sit and sip but they do not turn on the heat so it is too chilly to chill. Bathroom needs a deep clean.

    They have water bowls for dogs!

    We wanted to come here after watching Sam Reid's Quest for the best wings in the US and they are dog friendly so it was the perfect spot for us to grab lunch. I went inside while my boyfriend sat on one of their picnic benches to get a menu and to let them know we would be dining with them. The employees were very friendly and polite. They brought out a huge water bowl for our dogs once we ordered. We got the 6 piece lunch special and 9 piece lunch special which comes with fries (but we asked for tator tots inside) and a drink. They make their lemonade here and it was good but a little too tart for my taste. They have coke products for their drinks but they also offer beer for your lunch special for an extra charge. My boyfriend got their sweet BBQ sauce while I got their spicy Thai peanut and Jamaican Jerk sauces. After a little bit, we got our food and we were surprised by how much they gave us for a lunch special! I got the cajun tator tots and the reviews did not lie: they were absolutely divine! The wings were very tasty and even if they were smaller than your usual wings, they delivered great flavors from the sauce. We were very pleased with the food, service and and overall experience. Although we didn't dine inside, the inside was clean and spacious and I love the different photos of customers inside. The bathroom was nice and clean as well as well stocked. The soda fountain and utensil area was very clean and organized too. Definitely check out Fire on the Mountain!

    Straight up chicken sandwich is a little dry for me but the fries is crispy.

    We had sandwiches and French fries here. We were able to place order inside and grab water before finding a seat outside for them to bring out the food. The sandwiches are yummy and the fries are crispy. We enjoyed the food here.

    This is one of the best wing spots in Portland! The wings are consistently cooked to perfection they're always generous with the sauce. The queso has the perfect thickness to it, not to thick but not to thin either. The people that work here and at any of their locations are always so kind and helpful. The ambiance in chill with funny wing art and classic tunes playing in the background that makes it the perfect place to destroy some wings!

    Parking-Very limited parking street parking! Food- It was a My Husband first time and, I was super excited to take him there. We got the lunch special 6 wings w/ fries for 13 I got sweet bbq w/ kick...our fries came out first (I absolutely love their fries) piping hot, right amount of salt, and add ketchup and malt vinegar! My wings came out 5-7 minute because I get all flats and fried extra hard! I was so hungry and they were so good they were made perfectly and sauced just right. My husband had lime cilantro w/ medium kick I don't do spicy but, I had ate a few of them it had spicy but, it doesn't linger around! Service-Our cashier was amazing we weren't sure what flavors we wanted a first and, you let us try a few the sauce I tried raspberry habanero but, it was too hot but, real good. I forgot that I wanted all flats but, they were like it's not problem we got you! Ambience~very clean and, home like feeling it's plenty seating inside and few tables outside. Art is very beautiful on the wall and, love the photo that story of how fire under the mountain came about! I would definitely recommend coming to check out the spot especially if you love wings and fries!

    Jamaican Jerk Salad with chicken was mighty tasty.

    I always have a good time at Fire on the Mountain. The vibe is low key, and the food is good. It's clear everything is made fresh. I always appreciate the broad range of beer styles and their guest cider. It is a smaller location, so it can get a bit crowded at times, but it is overall cozy. I do find the TV with the news running without sound or subtitles a bit confusing, but I suppose all we need is headlines.

    More like fire in your mouth ! I love FOTM and they are inarguably my favorite wings in the city but this was my first time at this location . Its small but has a good amount of seating both inside and out . The wings were excellent as usual. One thing that could be better is that for 12 wings you only get two flavors , I feel if they have an option of charging more in lieu of an extra flavor that would be so good . I don't want to get another 12 wings but would love to taste an additional flavor .Pricing is good and beer selection also goes well with the food. The sides are alright and a hit or miss , for us this time the sweet potato fries were not crisp or freshly made . Service is good and friendly .

    Shit had no sauce. Sad as fucuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Sad sad sad sad. And why do we tip before service ( in general)...boooo.

    Hot Buffalo and Lime Cilantro wings w/tots
    Anthony R.

    Came here with some friends last weekend for the first time in years and it was still as good as I remember! The chicken and sauces were all quality. Food came out hot, and the wings weren't dry, which is always a great thing. Drink menu is on the small side here, but there are still a few beer and cider options if that's your thing. The service at the counter was quick, friendly, and attentive. They also deliver your food to the table if you have to sit outside due to limited seating on the inside. Gonna make it a point to come back soon!

    What a friendly man, who greeted me as I enter the restaurant, when I really need to use to…read morerestroom, while I wait for hubby to park the car. He already knew what he wanted, Chicken Wings, and I already knew what I wanted, Bulgogi! He also ordered Onion rings. His chicken wings were like: that big! I've not seen chicken wings as big as legs. He had Honey mustard with his wings. I've not seen him devoured all of that, in one day, you could tell he was starting to slow down by the last leg. My bowl was perfectly seasoned, and I really enjoyed all the meat cut into my bite-size! We will definitely be coming back.

    After an appointment down the street, I figured, what a great day to grab some wings! I actually…read morecame here on a super hot summer day in July, nearly 100° outside. Walked in and was pretty surprised there was no one around. (Head-scratch) OK, I'll try them anyways. No one at the counter either. I checked out the menu board and just waited, np. Out comes, possibly the owner or cook, whom was helpful about the types of wings and sauces but that was about it with the interaction. I guess helpful enough, even thought I've never been here. So I went with the 12-piece Bone-in Wing Combo (@ $29.49), which also comes with fries and coleslaw. The sauces I chose were the galbi and hot honey mustard as recommended. At first, I wasn't sure which wings were which, meaning they both almost looked the same. But obviously the hot honey mustard was lighter in color versus the galbi. The wings were crispy and excellent, but a tad bit over saucy. I wish I had more crisp on the outside. Maybe I'll ask for sauce on the side next time. Also, the big box of Crinkle Fries were decent, but I thought the coleslaw for some reason was very peppery. I didn't understand why. I guess that's their style of slaw, idk. Overall, I really wanted to love this joint, but I feel that it's just a 3-star kind of place imho. It's the price versus taste versus how hot it was outside. Unfortunately, the place didn't have any a/c on and the tables didn't look as clean as the other older posted pics on yelp. Someday, I'll be back to hopefully upgrade my review, but for now, it is what it is.

DONT LET YOURSELF BE FOOLED. this was the tastiest, savory-est, zesty, refreshing thing i've ever put in my mouth. think the refreshing tangy savory dressing of the traditional thai beef salad, but juicy sweet cubes of beets and fresh herbs. and don't forget a light creme at the bottom. give it a try. you better... okay, and then for the other stuff. sweet and spicy fried chicken was good. tasty flavor, thin but crunchy breading, super juicy meat. the bbq fried rice was smoky, but had minimal amounts of beef. it was tasty, but nothing special. exactly what the name suggests. the red veggie curry was very tasty, with lots of mushrooms and other goodies. i paired it with two fried eggs and YALL... idk what they do with the eggs but them were the most savory crunchy but also soft yoke-y eggs i've ever had. just ask for them. you'll thank me. if you're in the area, either come early or be prepared to wait. but i'd say it's worth it. (take a stop at the ice cream stop up the street, kulfi. it's SUPER GOOD)

The Smoked Pork Belly Krapao was definitely on the Thai‑spicy side, with a real kick, but still very flavorful and enjoyable. The wait time is usually around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on when you go. We went during dinner, so the wait was on the longer side. Our server was wonderful -- she checked in on us often and made sure we were taken care of. I didn't enjoy my initial cocktail, the Life of Luxury, because it tasted too herbal for my liking. She immediately offered to switch it out, and that small gesture really improved my overall experience.

The people working here are always so nice and my food is well packed with no leakage when I get home. I love this little mom and pop shop and it's convenient location on Sandy!

Cheesesteak was terrible. Smothered in mayo for some reason, and did not like the mushrooms. If you get it without those it might be passable but still wouldn't have been very good. I don't really know how to gauge wing prices these days to be honest. It seemed a little expensive, but in hindsight maybe it's about on par with normal.
