Peruvian Buffalo
Alex W.

Normal prices are steep and I would never go, but they have a great Happy Hour so i started coming back. The Peruvian Buffalo was an excellent addition for Wing Flavor of the Month.

Everything went well. I usually go to the burnside location and this one was nearby. Gave it a go and Inhave to say, the staff were all really nice. Served us outside on the patio seatings. The food crispy wings and saucy just how I like it.y first time trying the buffalo chicken nachos and instantly became a favorite. The chips gotta be crispy and crunchy. Not oily at all. This was definitely made it to my top list for nachos. Even the chicken was tenderly cooked and sauced just right amount of ratio btwn spicy and tanginess. I usually am not a big fan of Buffalo sauces bc of the overpowering vinegar taste. This Buffalo is the perfect balance. The fried Oreos and fried pickles was a must order and reminds me of fair food. My son got the kids corndog and fries. We realized he never got his drink but that's ok. We will be sure to get that next time. Ambiance had seatings indoor and outdoor. Very clean and can be a bit cozy. We like the vibe. I say come in group of 5 or less would be good.

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.

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!

Queso with chips
Ruben B.

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!

Jamaican Jerk Salad with chicken was mighty tasty.
Jason C.

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.

I may not know algebra or quantum physics but one thing I know for certain is good BBQ. I've been a…read morebackyard pitmaster for a long time, have multiple BBQ pits in the backyard, and while I'm not planning on headed to the World Championships in Memphis anytime soon; I'm pretty good. So, when I walk into a BBQ joint I usually can just kind of feel how it is going to go. Frankly, I wasn't too impressed on my visit to Lawless when I walked in the door. That feeling only lasted until my food arrived. Now when I walk in, I feel so foolish for feeling that way that first time. I have tried about everything, and I could run off a list of the things you should try. But that would be my list, not yours. Everyone likes something different. What I can tell you is what they do better than any other BBQ joint I have been to in the Portland Metroplex. First is the brisket burnt ends; Lawless knows how to make a burnt end that is tender with a flavor that will keep you coming back often. Second is their chicken wings. I don't know where their pitmaster finds these prehistorically large wings from, but they are amazing and juicy. If you are a fan of lemon-pepper I highly suggest that rub, but none of them are bad. Third is the brisket. Worthy of central Texas BBQ praise. Everything else is above average, the ribs, pulled pork and sides are all amazing. You cannot go wrong at Lawless. And if I small voice says this might not be a great place when you walk in the for the first time; tell it to mind its own business and order the burnt ends and wings.

Lawless BBQ, a great stop!…read more There's a bunch of places to choose from in Portland for your next bbq trip. Lawless was an amazing bbq place that I really recommend. I got the Brisket, Burnt Ends, Potato Salad, and Mac N Cheese. Service was awesome, with plenty of seating around. The brisket was nice and tender and had great flavor, and the burnt ends had this glaze that paired with the meat really well! The sides were just ok in my opinion, as I would like them to be a little more flavorful. But not bad by any means. I didn't get a picture but the Banana Pudding was phenomenal. One of the best banana puddings I've ever had! I still talk about it to my friends. Overall I really think you should give Lawless a try, great bbq and great people.

We got mac, beans & fries. The fries were very good, sort of sweet in a way and nicely crisp. The mac was delicious and so were the beans. No complaints with the sides. The toppings for the mac were a great addition. 2. The pork shoulder was my favorite. Not too fatty and was tender. 3. Brisket was good, could have been juicier. 4. The chicken was my second favorite. Pretty delicious. 5. The ribs were honestly last for me. I thought there could have been more flavor, but they were good. 6. Overall, a bit expensive but it is BBQ in Portland. For $90, it fed 4 with some leftovers and was very delicious overall. I just think the meat could use some extra flavor and I think they could add one more BBQ sauce to their rotation. Nice spot!

So I'll start off by saying I didn't return my brisket.. it was so salty I couldn't finish it all. I went with several other friends and they all had good things to say about their dishes. The potato salad was great! I had a bite of my friend's fried chicken thigh and it was also great. The atmosphere was a good vibe. I am not sure I would go back again because there are so many great places to dine in Portland.

It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

I settled on The Arnold: a half pound of brisket with a side of mac n cheese and a corn muffin. There are a number of sides to choose from, but the mac sounded appealing to me.
