Hit and Miss Bar Food

This place is either good or it’s terrible. The last time I tried it was the worst seitan I’ve had.

Unless they improve quality control I’ll stick to City o City when I feel like seitan wings.

Also of note: the Extra Hot Buffalo sauce here is seriously spicy.

Pros: Good amount of vegan options, Sauces for wings

Cons: Hit and miss

Sick Vegan Wings

Got 9 seitan wings in Jamaican Jerk and Cajun Dry Rub. They were both great! Vegan options were clearly visible and numerous.

Option in the Highlands

After four-ish times here, I’d rate this hip Highlands spot a 3.6/5.

Mostly, for a place specializing in wings, the seitan version is just ok for me, dawg. The biggest thing going for said wings is that they can be tossed with a unique array of flavored sauces, including spicy peanut, bourbon chipotle, lime cilantro, Jamaican jerk, Cajun dry rub, raspberry habanero, and buffalo (this last one is only available in ‘extra hot 🤔🥵). But these diverse coatings unfortunately do not make up for the seitan’s texture, which is semi-off-putting and just doesn’t really do it for me.

FotM also has cauliflower wings with verified vegan batter, a quinoa and lentil burger with the ever-elusive vegan brioche bun, and other standard fried finger foods.

Happy Hour Thai Peanut Spicy Seitan Wings are the best

At $1 per wing during happy hour, this place makes for one of my favorite dinners. A $10 order and I'm stuffed. It's pretty pricey when it's not happy hour, so I only come during dinner time.

Amazing seitan, vegan sauces and even vegan ranch

They have the best seitan wings, sauces and vegan ranch options!! A win in my opinion. Haven’t eaten at this place since I turned vegan. Not sure what made me look it up again but I’m very happy I did! For all those meat eaters out there, my boyfriend said that the real chicken was the best he’s had in awhile as well

Yum!

I’ve been to FOTM twice now and really enjoy it! The first time I got the Vegan Gyro and most recently got the Vegan Lentil Quinoa Burger. They also have good fries and tots.

Pros: Multiple vegan option that are clearly labeled, Nice patio, plenty of outdoor seating

Cons: Not fully vegan

Omg the seitan

The seitan wings are sooooo gooooood! Many different kinds of vegan sauces with vegan ranch! All very friendly labeled.

This place is generally pretty popular, so there could be a wait at normal times. Though, when it is nice outside, the outside seating is abundant and pretty great too.

Pros: Great staff, Great seitan, Great sauce

Cons: Not many? Serves meat. Haha

To satisfy the indulgent vegan in you

After a killer workout, my husband and I checked out FOTM. We were starving so we ordered the fried pickles, vegan gyros, and Seitan wings. All so good! (Now we need another workout.)

Pros: fried pickles are super crispy, friendly staff, great part of town

Cons: I wish they would get a few NA beers

Eh

Tried to get takeout and got Buffalo cauliflower wings from fotm and they didn’t put any sauce on my wings😒I’ll try again because they were still pretty good without the sauce and the vegan ranch was delicious, but very disappointing

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Inconsistent

Still good, but agree with others

Still get their wings from time to time but have to agree I've seen them overcooked a few times and turns them to chew toys. Also have had them and been amazed. Take out generally is more overcooked than eating there.

The celery was awesome!

I agree with the other reviews stating that the seitan wings are overcooked and not good. Didn't even taste like seitan to me. The cauliflower wings were ok, barely average IMHO. I had heard really good things about this place but left disappointed. I won't be back. I do appreciate them trying and offering vegan options though.

Not really knowledgeable staff

When I came here the first time I had a burger and the waitress was very helpful in letting me know that the bun that it came on was not vegan. She suggested a different type of bread, so I went with that and I thought all was well. She also happily pointed out which of their wing sauces were vegan so my gf ordered some seitan wings. The second time I came here, I mentioned that I was vegan when ordering just to be sure there wasn't anything new added to the food since my last visit and the person I talked to the second time said that none of their bread was vegan and neither were any of the wing sauces. Was I lied to the 1st time, or did the person that I talked to the 2nd time not know what she was talking about? I'm not willing to risk it either way so I won't be coming back to this place.

something for everyone

My husband and I love coming here. He is a huge hot wing fanatic and fotm has great wings and lots of great spicy flavors for him. I dont eat much meat and am dairy free so finding a place we both like can be hard. I got the veggie burger and it was delish and filling. Great location, have brought the kids and always find tasty new things.

seitan here sucks

So I was super excited to try it but it was super tough and hard to eat. Also if you ask questions they get pissy. But I feel like if they tried a bit harder it would actually be amazing so a lot of potential here if we vote with out dollar!

Good find

Had the seitan wing special for lunch, it was good, nice atmosphere as well with TVs and art on the walls. I will go back when I am in the area. Bonus that they let you try the sauces before ordering.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere

Excellent

Best seitan wings ive ever had. Nice atmosphere.
Dont know what the other review was talking about. There were 10 vegan sauces when I was there. Only 2 were non vegan (they still were vegetarian). Great fried pickles too.

Very Disappointed!

I went here a few months ago to eat with very high expectations. It's near my work and seemed amazing to be able to get that grub food that I love! I went with a friend for lunch and there were maybe 10 other people in the whole restaurant. I ordered the seitan wings and a seitan sandwich. It took an hour to get our food. No lies! With 10 other people there. And the wings were so overfriend, they were impossible to bite into and tasted burnt. The sandwich was much better and I ended up throwing away half of my food that cost about $25. Needless to say, I haven't been back. It's sad, truthfully. I would not recommend.

Pros: Cool Place

Cons: Slow Service, Terribly Overcooked Seitan, Very Few Vegan Sauces

Finally, a wing joint for vegetarians and vegans!

Never thought you'd be able to eat at a wing joint? Think again. Fire on the Mountain Denver is a new locally-owned restaurant that scores with a wide variety of veggie and vegan friendly options. Apps include tater tots, sweet potato tots, fried pickles, and sweet potato fries...all vegan! Their entree selections range from yummy, locally-made seitan "wings" to tasty wraps and awesome salads. Nine of twelve of their house made sauces are vegan and all are to die for. Ready for dessert? Try a deep fried oreo (not necessarily healthy but still vegan) or Nutter Butter. Paired with an awesome selection of local beers and creative specialty cocktails, this place delivers a fun, fresh new veggie/vegan experience in Denver. Fire on the Mountain...it's not just a wing joint! Come check it out for yourself.

Pros: vegan options, great sauces, friendly staff

Cons: little noisy, not completely vegetarian
