We were headed into the mountains on a Sunday afternoon (thankfully AGAINST the I-70 traffic!) and we'd had one of those days where we were just too busy to eat. By the time we got to Wildfire, we were famished. It was an off time, so the restaurant was empty and we were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. "How hungry are you?" the proprietor asked. He recommended the chicken fried steak, one of my favorites, and my husband had fried chicken. The steak was hand cut and tenderized to order, which was pretty impressive for a small mountain town cafe. The potatoes were fresh also and hand mashed and the gravy was nice and peppery, had good pieces of sausage and tasted finished and cooked, not raw or pasty. I also had the vegetables as a side, and I was disappointed that they were straight from a bag of frozen vegetables without so much as salt and pepper for seasoning. Given the well seasoned steak and gravy, I was surprised. I was told that they serve glazed heirloom carrots usually with the dish, but that they had run out. My husband's fried chicken was perfect for our hunger level! Three generous pieces of house honey battered chicken. It was juicy and cooked perfectly. The batter had a satisfying crunchiness from the honey in the batter and the chicken was well seasoned and moist. We travel to the mountains a lot. We will definitely stop again.
Very friendly staff, easy parking, and super easy access to I70. We had the chicken fried steak and the mushroom burger, both were super tasty! Much better option than the chain restaurants around it.

Sweet little spot for a good meal any time of day
