It's not because I remember Benny the Beaver before he became an Angry Beaver, it's not because One More Saturday Night is a good rule to live by, it's because I get excited when I get turned on to a restaurant that hits on all cylinders-food quality, service, atmosphere, alcohol selection, innovation and sustainability. Fire on the Mountain (FOTM) does all that. Born in Portland, OR in 2005, FOTM has transferred and prospered in the Highlands at 3801 W. 32nd Ave.(and Nelson) for about a year now.
Serving twelve rotating different types of wing sauces daily on Redbird Farms wings (hormone-antibiotic-cage free). Jamaican Jerk, Bourbon Chipotle, (any) Habenero come to mind along with seasonal, local mojo such as peach and pumpkin worked in. El Jefe reigns as far as hotness goes with flavor leading before some may need outside help. Meatless selections are available along with Seitan (made from wheat- a high protein meat substitute). The sweet potato tots(homemade) are a great set off flavor to the wings. Salads, Sandwiches and Burgers are also available and although I have not sampled all- they look really tasty. Local micro brews are rotated and featured. Wine (rotated list) and spirits are offered. Afternoon and late night happy hours everyday.
The folks who work here take a lot of pride in what they do and I have always seen someone there who is orchestrating the show. FOTM was the first to be recognized in the Highlands as a Certified Green Restaurant and offer discounts to those who walk, cycle or use alternative transport to reach them. There is usually plenty of seating with a heated patio, bar, and a dining area decorated with art from local artists. They cater out and do that well also. open Monday-Sunday 11-11/303.480.WING (9464). Like them on Facebook and you will be kept in touch.
