We happened by this food truck park,…read moreand without any particular craving, I chose NWS cuz hey, you can't go wrong with chicken right? Well we were very glad with the selection. I chose a 3 strip meal with fries and a chicken sandwich with fries, no sauces, just plain. In a nutshell, even though the customer service wasn't overly friendly, the chicken more than made up for it. Both my hubby and I felt like it was the best chicken we'd had in a long time. The cook was perfect, chicken juicy and tender. The breading wasn't thick, quite thin actually, and full of flavor. No sauces needed, we just enjoyed the chicken...and I'm generally a major dipping saucer. Add to the wonderful chicken some hand cut fries, cooked well (although I like mine a bit crunchier). I highly recommend this truck for anyone in the mood for some good old-fashioned fried chicken. Two thumbs up!

Restaurant Review - Fire on the Mountain - Bend, Oregon…read more I had lunch here with a friend and his wife, whom I just met. This is a very casual restaurant. In fact, pretty much everything about Fire on the Mountain is casual. The staff was mellow, and it is a standard walk-up, order, get a number, and find-a-seat setup. That part went smoothly. We sat outside, which was a comfortable space. The whole restaurant feels airy, relaxed, and yes, very casual. Our order came out fairly quickly. The food was presented well, but this is where the experience fell short. My Straight-Up Chicken Sandwich lived up to its name. It was just that, a straight-up chicken sandwich. Nothing really set it apart from what I could throw together at home. The tater tots were straight out of a school cafeteria or from my own freezer and air fryer. Two thumbs up, however, for the Hawaiian Punch. I checked with my dining companions, and they agreed their meals were on the average side. One mentioned her BBQ chicken salad was overdressed. "Doused" was the word she used. The other said the barbecue sauce on his sandwich was thin and bland. Prices are right in line with what is common these days. Sandwiches run about $16 to $17, with $2 to $3 add-ons for cheese, bacon, etc. With tip, lunch for the three of us came to about $59. That is standard for Bend now, though it still stings. I pressed the printed ticket button but never received one, and I did not bother to ask. Not a big deal. Overall, it was a nice lunch with good company. The space is pleasant, and the staff covered the basics. But the food did not stand out, and there was nothing about the experience that would make me suggest to friends, "Hey, let's go to Fire on the Mountain." I will probably pass on a return visit.

Honestly not any business and I was in there for about 30 minutes and it was only one guy doing the wing challenge but no other business. They have a few "arcade" games. A sauce island with hot sauces, fry sauce (just 1000 island) ketchup ranch and more. A salad bar with one time pass. I will be returning, just don't know when.

Wings used to be more crispy fried and not drowning in sauce. Texture was slimy baked (like…read morepre-baked frozen wings from the grocery store) and felt like we used a half a roll of paper towels due to all the sauce to eat a 12 piece wing. However, the shoestring fries were excellent as always.

I opted for the Sticky Gochujang and Jamaican Jerk (six each), thinking that would provide two disparate tastes given my experiences with both. As it turned out, not so much. Both sixes of wings were well prepared and quite tasty but were also (over)loaded with sauce. I normally expect jerk wings to be dry. The Korean wings were not so much 'sticky' as drowned in sauce. Frankly, the flavors were similar. Prices are high but that's what you have to expect these days in Bend. The wings are not small as some have suggested. Fairly normal sized, I'd say. Haven't tried a crepe yet but the photos look enticing. I give this cart a thumbs up although next time I'll try the Old Bay style which friends have reported to be of the dry variety.

The stand outs at this place: Fried cheese with curry sauce - really tastes reminiscent of burmese Shan tofu curries and the cheese was crispy and somehow light and airy Shrimp tacos- perfectly fried and loaded with juicy shrimp and some miraculous cilantroy creamy sauce with cabbage slaw . Lomo Saltado - a lot of great sear and smokiness in the steak and veggies. Good umami flavors. Honorable mention are the Dan Dan noodles - they lean a little peppercorn heavy and don't have as much tahini as I'd like - but still yummy To avoid- the vegetable curry- it's watery and thin and doesn't really have any depth of flavor or complexity - leans very cilantro lime and has no funk. Service is fantastic and friendly If you come after 5:30 - you will have a 30 minute ish line to wait in - but that fried cheese is worth it !
