    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!

    Ray Charles and the Golden Chicken. Interstate is the best of the franchise. The original location and the most heart. Stop in. If you get your wings to-go, make sure to get your sauce in the side.

    I feel like most BBQ places do one or two things well, while one or two things are just okay. That…read morewas NOT my takeaway from Bottos. After reading the great reviews, I'd wanted to get over there, and I'm glad I finally did. The ribs were perfect, the pulled pork was as good as I've ever had. When the brisket is solid but the least exciting bite, you've got a great platter. The mac and cheese side is excellent. I loved the slaw, though I'd skip it next time due to more onion than I'm cool with. Sauces are okay, but would love a spicy option. Honestly, none of the meat begged for extra sauce, I just love sauce. Seating was limited and the place is pretty small, so probably hit and miss during peak hours. Loved the food. Will return.

    Absolutely incredible BBQ--must try!…read more OK, so first off, the service was amazing. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they'll bring the food right to you. Heads up--this isn't a fancy or romantic date-night type of place, but trust me, the food more than makes up for it. We ordered the pastrami brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and spicy sausage--all delicious. The spicy macaroni and cheese? Oh baby. Probably the best spicy mac & cheese I've ever had. We also had the stew (delicious), and even the baked beans -- which I normally don't like -- were delicious. And of course, the ribs were tender, smoky, and delicious too. The whole place smells like real deal slow-smoked barbecue, and every bite proved it. A delightfully delicious spot from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

    I didn't expect to find good BBQ outside of the south, but this was a pleasant surprise!…read moreAnd honestly, it shouldn't come as a surprise because the food in Portland is some of the best in the country. IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ. Highly recommend you try this spot!

There is outside seating out front as well. The person who took our order was friendly and patient while the kids figured out what they wanted. I ordered the burnt ends sandwich which was super good. It's messy to eat and had really good flavor. My hubby ordered the brisket sandwich and he really liked it. We had 3 kids with us. One kid got just plain nachos (just cheese) and liked it. The other 2 got the pulled pork nachos and shared it and had some even left over. We all liked our meals and would eat there again when in the area.

Truth be told, though, I was so hungry that I went with the same thing my son ordered, which was The Arnold - a 1/2# of brisket, a side and a corn muffin. We both chose mac 'n cheese as our side and I gobbled it right up, along with the corn muffin. We were very impressed with how tasty and tender the brisket was - and that sauce? Holy BBQ sauce! What a delicious sauce! Uncle Earl is delightfully charming, serving up a big huge smile along with his food. He personally delivered our meals to our table inside the building and insisted on taking a picture with all of us. He is wonderfully happy and his laugh is so infectious! Not only is his food fabulous, his presence makes the entire day that much better. Oh yeah, he even had doggie treats for Penelope, the little pug we had with us. I can't wait to go back and try something else from his menu; I'm sure everything is beyond delicious! I'm thinking it might be hard to pick something other than that brisket because it has to be the best brisket ever but I'm sure gonna try!
