Fire On The Mountain-Wash Park

First time to try FOTM (thanks for recommendation, cuz!), and it IMPRESSED! The wings are a good size, maybe slightly larger “party wing”.
Oil was fresh and not too saturated in the meat.
Maybe the most impressive were the sauces, especially the buffalo blue and JERK, maybe the first jerk I’ve ever really wanted to eat again.
Execution on the togo tots was a bit sus, as the whole bag got steamed out, prob need to poke some holes in the box or something (only downside really).
Looking forward to return as my go-to wing spot in Denver.

Couldn't decide on a 2 or a 3 here, so officially giving a 2.5/5.
Popeyes makes better wings for cheaper. The tenders are expensive and do not meet the taste+quality to meet that price (at best, $3 per tender), since you can probably beat these out at home with minimal effort.
They do not fare well in a takeout scenario (they get super soggy and sad after ~10 minutes).
They also messed up my order and only gave me 8 tenders when I ordered 10. Overall, on a good day this might be worth 3-4 stars.
The chicken is good quality and I'm sure when fresh there is some crisp to these.
But I should get more food for my money here in my opinion - too many better options at the same price. The sauces I had I was not a fan of.
A lot of their hot sauces taste very similar.
The sweet BBQ was fantastic in my opinion though. While I didn't dine inside, it looked like a cool spot.
The location is nice for all of the locals and would make a good 3rd place for beer. I'm glad I tried it, but will stick to Popeyes if it's a choice between this place and them.
I'd consider coming again and seeing if some of their peanut sauces are worth trying as I didn't try those and they looked interesting.

Good place to catch a game with some wings and a brew! Sizeable portions, good to share and split with another if you're unsure of what to order.
I had the Chicken Katsu sandwich which was very tasty.
Tater tots were crispy and delicious.
Will return if I'm ever in the area again!
