    Simply awesome, sirloin tips are just melting in your mouth, the pecan pie was the best I have ever had (and I had lot of them, I have close connection to Mississippi). We wanted to eat relatively light, series of appetizers was just perfect. My fried okra cravings were satisfied, mashed taters with gravy are just right. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff

    Wow, I can't believe I haven't been here sooner. I am convinced there is NO better Barbecue in Colorado Springs than right here at Front Range Barbecue!! Everything was so tender and flavorful, the veggies are cooked and seasoned perfectly, a great selection of drinks, and our server Crystal was so good at checking on us and being super friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough and can't wait to go back! You MUST try the Burnt Ends!!!

    This place was great! Really good barbque and lots of it! I've never been to one that gave you as much to eat. They had pulled pork, smoked brisket, chicken, sausage!!! The red beans and rice were as good as any SC Bar B Que I've ever been too. I had the pork and brisket and it was really good! The burnt ends were fantastic This place is highly rated and recommended!

    This is a awesome bbq spot. We ate in the outdoor seating which was more like a tent. I was actually really happy because when the sun went behind the mountains it gets cold. I had the sloppy pig which was the whole reason I chose this place. It was amazing. I think it was a 16.00 sandwich but well worth every penny. I don't even like kielbasa but this was so good. I forgot to take a picture of it. They also have really good fries.

    Nice little BBQ joint once visited by Guy Fieri back in 2016. I got the signature dish he created and it was fairly decent. The wings were much better. The ambiance was nice but unfortunately our waitress kept forgetting about us.. several tines I had to get up and ask someone else for something that out waitress consistently kept forgetting. Other than that, the prices seemed a little steep as 2 plates of the 6-wing special and the Fieri sandwich special along with a side of cheese curds and drinks came to right at $70. Will probably not be back to this place.

    This is where hipster meets great BBQ! Ambiance inside is not what I consider to be typical of a BBQ place, but it definitely works here since it’s in Old Colorado City. I had the two-meat combo consisting of burnt ends and pulled pork. Both had great flavor and tenderness.

    Loved it! Everything on the plate was amazing. I got a half rack with brisket and there was enough for two large meals. The corn muffins are really special and they even add a few slices of pickle on the side.

    Front Range BBQ in Old Colorado City was amazing. The fact that it's housed in a remodeled Victorian-style home adds a unique and charming touch to the dining experience. Walking through the recreated rooms, you can't help but appreciate the effort they've put into making it feel like a cozy restaurant. One of the highlights for us was the delightful outdoor seating area. It's the perfect spot to soak in the Colorado sunshine while enjoying a meal. Speaking of meals, the food here is outstanding! We indulged in pulled pork and beef sandwiches that were bursting with flavor. And the sweet ending to our meal was just as impressive – a heavenly root beer float and decadent pecan pie.

    This place has farmhouse vibes. The Brisket is phenomenal and the burnt-ends were crispy and juicy. Beer is decently priced and the signature drinks were creative and well crafted. Definitely make time to visit this one-of-a-kind eatery. Call ahead because they get busy.

    Have you ever been craving something so bad, and when you get it, you feel like kicking yourself in the butt? Well, tonight it happened to me. I wanted some southern food, but this was not it. The food was so bland and too expensive to taste that way. That picture was supposed to be red beans and rice. Barely any rice, and I counted less than 10 red beans, and they charged $16.95 for that. The brisket had no flavor and dry like choke you dry. Chicken bland, kielbasa bland, chicken bland. Onion straws soggy. Mashed potatoes bland. I mean, EVEYTHING was BLAND. Do they use seasonings? Oh, and the sweet tea was not sweet. The location itself was too small for my liking, but that's because I just don't like being too close to too many people. I do have to say the staff seemed really nice. I do feel bad for this post because they were nice, but unfortunately, the amount of money I spent for food I couldn't eat the bland out weighed the nice. I am so disappointed and hungry, but I just spent too much money to get something else. If you are used to food with no flavor, then this place is for you. I do not recommend this place at all. I really don't understand people taste buds.

    We came here because we were really excited for the burnt ends. They ended up being very tough. They could have used a couple more hours in the smoker. Just not cooked right at all. Outside was burnt black and tasted like ash. We wouldn’t come back.

    We stopped in for dinner after a long day at Pike’s Peak. (Visiting from Idaho) We got seated right away on the front patio. The place was crowded due to the live band but even with that we got great service. The hubby got the two meat plate with brisket and burnt ends. I got the fried artichokes with a side of brisket and pineapple cider. All portions were huge! I was envious of the burnt ends (smoky and tasty), but luckily there were enough to share. We stayed a little bit to enjoy the band and people watch. Great laid back atmosphere. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

    We went here for Father’s Day celebration. The food and service was excellent. So much so we took our friends from Florida a week later. They enjoyed it tremendously. Good food! Great service! And welcome atmosphere. Highly suggest eating here. Oh and the key lime pie was delicious. All their desserts are home made on the premises. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Phenomenal place!! After a less than stellar day on vacation, we have our new favorite dining place in Colorado Springs! Great attentive wait staff, even with a full house! We highly recommend their Bison pot roast, pulled chicken sandwich, Burnt ends, and the Granny's apple crunch!! Well worth any wait!

    It has some good BBQ, certainly not the best in the world, but solid and tasty for sure - I'd say 7 out of 10 on a different scale. I had the pulled pork and the beef brisket with mashed potatoes and some coleslaw. The Coleslaw was boring, everything else was delicious. Staff was nice and polite, thanks

    Grabbed a bite at Front Range while we passed by Colorado Springs. The food was good and the service was great. I enjoyed the St. Louis Style Ribs as well as the brisket. The mashed potatoes and beans were the stars for me. I really like the gravy (made in house). The location is centrally located near many shops and a park nearby. Will try to visit again soon.

    We visited Front Range Barbecue for lunch, parking up in the free 3 hour parking in Old Colorado City. The place has a relaxed, cosy vibe, and our waitress Krystal made us feel very welcome, and was very attentive. The food was excellent - between 5 of us we ordered ribs, brisket, chicken and burgers, including a spicy veggie burger which was also great. Overall, highly recommended.

    We are from nc and we love barbecue! This place was awesome! We had the sloppy sandwich and it was out of this world! We also had the artichoke appetizer and it was also amazing! The staff was super friendly and their house made dipping sauce is a must!

    After a long day of shopping in Manitou Springs, we were looking for a place to eat. We found Front Range BBQ, and decided to give them a try. The restaurant is inside an old house but the atmosphere was great, you don't see old houses like this anymore. The staff was very friendly, they knew their menu well and answered all our questions, food did not disappoint, we started off with an appetizer of wings, they were awesome. I ordered the two meat combo plate, Brisket and Pulled Pork, came with two sides, onion rings. The portion size was plentiful. BBQ was excellent. I live in Denver and I would make the drive back there to have it again.
