What's on the menu

It has been years! I have worked in the city for over 2 years and still cannot find a place that beats this chicken sandwich. I finally decided to take a Friday off and was craving Imagination on Fire. I drove over during the rainstorm and got to the place at 2:34 and realized that they were on their lunch break. You bet I waited until 3pm for their return. But it was worth it. I asked for my sandwich deconstructed and drove back home. Side note - I usually love my food hot, if it's meant to be eaten hot, I'm eating it fresh. But because I really wanted to enjoy it I waited until I got home. Unlike other places, I will tell you this, these tenders can be placed in the air fryer and are still as juicy and crispy as it is fresh. The customer service is 10/10. If you haven't tried Imagination on Fire, you are missing out! Make sure to check their availability before heading over. Enjoy!

Chicken strips and truffle fries

Not only is this the best chicken sandwich ever !!!! But they also have amazing truffle fries and delicious honey mustard dipping sauce get an extra one ! The spicy has a bite but in the best way !! The flavors and quality is impeccable! The owner and chef is the best and all the staff is very nice and friendly! It's super easy to order and always located in a nice area with lots of parking.

The Fried Chicken Sandwich is AMAZING with their Spicy Pink Sauce!!!
Chef Omar R.

Time and time again, great food with excellent service makes Imagination On Fire my go-to for a great foodie experience. Today I got the Smashburger! Soft, buttered Brioche Bun that was perfectly toasted, then you sink in to the tender Smashburger beef with melted cheddar cheese, sliced onions and delicious pickles. I believe there's Mayo on the bun which was good. I'm going to ask for their Spicy Pink sauce on the burger next time to heighten the experience. Imagination On Fire SMASHED it!!

Seriously, this is the best damn fried chicken I've had in town--hands down. The chicken sandwich was unreal, crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The people there were super friendly and made me feel genuinely welcome, which made the whole experience even better. If you haven't checked out this spot yet, you're seriously missing out. If you love fried chicken, this place is a must. Somebody give these folks the recognition they deserve!

This is the chicken fingers and fries on top. On the bottom is the fried chicken Sandwich with Truffle Fries!

First time trying this gem in Napa. Napa has a strong food scene on top of the wine scene. Today we tried the Fried Chicken Sandwich, not spicy The chicken was soooo crunchy and juicy. The chicken being spicy would be great for additional flavor. As a regular chicken sammich it was still packed with flavor. The chicken fingers were actually the as above. Sooooo crunchy and juicy, packed with flavor. This is a must, whenever you're in town - the place in Napa is a great place to eat. Also remember to support local eats!!!

Smash burger!!! With truffle fries!!
NorCal K.

Well no wonder they have been in the top and now recently voted number one in Napa! It's well deserved. Excellent customer service and the chefs are super cool!!! They made us feel just like family. The spicy chicken sandwich is fried to perfection... crunchy on the outside, super juicy on the inside and perfectly perfectly perfectly spicy! Never have we ever had a better spicy chicken sandwich. The Smash Burger... Amazing. Seasoned and cooked with love. Best burger we've had in the bay area. Their fries are SUPER Yummy and the Truffle Fries... are BOMB! Ask about the specials too. Sounds like they do different one each week... but that was thee best Buffalo pulled chicken sandwich, we just devoured, on this planet. The hour drive from SF was well worth it!!

Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Tania C.

Probably one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I've had. The fried chicken is crispy and tender with the perfect amount of spicy heat! You'll want to savor every bite to really taste the yummy flavors. Even the regular fried chicken sandwich was delicious, so you can't go wrong with one or the other!

We had our small wedding this past October with the wonderful Ring of Fire crew. Gabe & The Crew…read moreshowed up on time, setup gorgeous string lights over the tables, and created a bar station that was super charming and easily accessible to the guests. We opted to have the truck at the event, and we are so thankful that we did! It was a show stopper for everyone as soon as they arrived. The fire stove on the truck was such an awesome feature to see, and is something our guests couldn't stop talking about. The food was beyond delicious. The pizza was some of the best pizza we've ever tasted, and don't even get me started on the stuffed mushrooms. My bridesmaid snuck me a couple before the ceremony and I was in shock over how tasty it was. They also made vegan options available, which I was super thankful for. Throughout the night the staff was super friendly and attentive. They made everything stress and worry free. The comment from Natasha T. is not an accurate representation of this company. She was not at my wedding. Gabe and his crew treated me, my husband, and my property with respect. I'd highly recommend this business to anyone looking for delicious food, a friendly staff, and a truly remarkable experience.

Please heed my warning (and those of the other most recent reviews!) and save yourself the time,…read moremoney, effort, and stress - hire literally ANY other caterer for your event. After months of poor communication and several displays of unprofessionalism, I tried to cancel our contract 6 weeks prior to our wedding date. I was in a dispute with the owner (Gabe) to try and get a refund for an event he hadn't even catered, and he refused to provide it. Note that the owner himself has stated that he thinks his business is headed to an end. See attached photo for text messages I received from him with this claim. If anything, you don't want to work with someone who cannot maintain a professional demeanor in their client correspondence. In case you need further convincing to NOT hire Ring of Fire, feel free to read through my ordeal below. --- In February of this year, I reached out in search of a wedding caterer. Gabe invited me and my partner to a complimentary tasting with other couples who were interested in booking. The tasting went great (the ONLY thing that went well in all my interactions with them) so we booked and paid a 50% deposit. Over the next few months I reached out to get deadlines and feedback on our proposed menu. After repeated attempts to contact him, the only time he really reached out was to offer a discount on our balance if we paid it early. In hindsight, this should have been a *red flag* - no professional would ever reach out to a client to ask them to pay something in advance of the contract terms unless they were poorly managing their business and finances. Instead, thinking it was gesture of customer service, we went ahead and paid our balance early to get the discount. However, after paying, Gabe unprofessionally asked us to reschedule our already confirmed site tour in favor of booking another lunch. My wedding coordinator and I agreed to reschedule, only to have him NO SHOW for the site tour. 15 minutes after the confirmed meeting time I called Gabe to get his ETA. He didn't seem to know where our venue was (even though he accepted a calendar event with the date, time, and address in it) and told me was still 50 minutes away so we proceeded without him. Had we waited, he would have been OVER AN HOUR LATE. At this point, I lost faith that ROF could cater my event. We were still 6 weeks away from our date so I requested to cancel our contract and get back the balance payment (that HE requested we pay early). Needless to say, he did not want to grant the refund. I worked with an attorney and determined the best course of action was to file a dispute with the credit card company AND to sue him in small claims court as backup. Luckily, the credit card company resolved the dispute in my favor but I still experienced an extreme amount of stress trying to book a new caterer with less than 6 weeks from my wedding date - something I would never wish on any bride. Again, please save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your caterer.

I've known about this spot for quite some time after I read an article from the SF Chronicle…read moreclaiming they had the best chicken sandwich throughout the Bay Area. And just to turn it up a notch, the Chronicle also has them in the Top 25 Best Restaurants in Wine Country. I happened to be in Napa running some errands and decided to finally check them out. I met the owner who was pretty chill and friendly plus took my order. I was there for the chicken sandwich of course, but also wanted to try their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I've seen on their menu. I also ordered some seasoned fries and a Mexican Sprite. The fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. The chicken had the perfect crisp to it and was juicy inside. The coleslaw inside gave the sandwich a nice tangy twist, while the hot honey had a nice balance of both sweet and spice. I did have a bit of a challenge attacking this since it was a huge sandwich, but I definitely liked it. The Cheesesteak was a bit messy (in a good way) but was a nice size for a full one; probably should have gotten a half one but oh well. The sliced steak was tender and juicy, while I also enjoyed the flavors of the cherry peppers and garlic mayo. Would definitely order this again. This was an experience I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to check out. Will go back hopefully soon to try some other items.

If you want proof that How You Mac'n is amazing, just ask my 16-year-old son and his friends…read more We ordered a tray of loaded mac for his birthday and it was gone in no time. We were already fans before attending a grad party in June where they catered and it was by far the biggest hit of the night by all who attended! Now my son regularly eats dinner, then heads out for a "second dinner" at How You Mac'n whenever they're open. The leftovers become lunch the next day, and he and his friends have practically turned creating the perfect mac combination into an art form. Great food, huge portions, endless sauce options, and a menu that keeps teenagers talking about it long after they're done eating. Plus the owners are super friendly! Hoping they get their brick-and-mortar location soon because Napa needs it! 10/10 recommend.

Ordered a bunch of stuff incl the Mac n cheese bowl, large chicken sandwich', churro. The chicken sandwich was gigantic but it was so soooo dry. Also they don't put any toppings on it, literally just the fried chicken, and a bun. I guess if you pick a sauce you'd get that too? The fries were really well seasoned and had super high potential, but they were cold/old. Had probably been sitting out for a while. Too bad bc they could've been rly rly good. The Mac and cheese was mediocre at best. Overcooked and just not that good man. The saving grace was the churro. Maybe the best I've ever had. V good!

There are lots of drinks to choose from in the refrigerated section, wine by the glass for $6, or a large selection of Italian soda's. Beyond the sandwiches, the shop has loads of dried pasta, olive oil, bread, or premade ravioli and sauces in the fridges. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a high quality sandwich.

Today I tried the Clam Chowder which should be award winning. Full of clams, rich and creamy. The daily special for Tuesday which was Sausage and peppers and came with a side of garlic bread with was too die for. The sausage had a great spice and the peppers had the right amount of bite to them not soggy. I also got some vegetables that had mushrooms, artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes with some kinda oil vinegar dressing that I just loved. And I only spent $18. The young gentleman helping me went above and beyond helping and explaining everything to me. Unfortunately I didn't get the mustached ash blonde gentleman's name to give him proper credit. Hopefully they figure it out. I'll be back next time im in Napa.
