    We stopped there last weekend on Saturday, Nov the 1st and were told that that day was their last day before they shut down for a year or more for a massive renovation project..bummer. I took a time of pics for memory sake. The restaurant has a lively old world charm and rooms dedicated to different themes. The owner is from Louisiana and has lots of dishes with a southern twist. Lots to offer on the menu as compared to any BBQ place that I have been. Interesting appetizers. We tried wings and burnt tips. For the main dish they offer a combo options, sandwiches ,ribs racks and salads. I found the BBQ sauce a little watered down and missed the punch that I was looking for. The 2 ribs racks that we got one was more well done, almost dried compared to the other, which was fall of the bone and meat was juicy. The sides are awesome, we loved the potato salad, the slaw was good but we got the mid rib of the cabbage which was inedible and took most of the space of the small bowl. We even tried their day special, Corn side which was delicious. We took Banana pudding to go and it wasn't disappointing. We were promised that they might open a pop store somewhere close by in the meantime till this location is back in action. We wish them all the best and waiting for them to make some announcement soon. See you on the other side! Chao.

    Great BBQ! The fried cheese curds were amazing! Very big pieces of cheese, battered in house. The Frontier Plate was the perfect amount of food for two - if you're a light eater, you'll have leftovers. The plate comes with ribs, and we chose the kielbasa and brisket for our two meats. The meats were tender and juicy. They had great flavor even without bbq sauce. The original bbq sauce wasn't for me. The sweet and spicy bbq is where it's at. The bbq beans were delicious, and the coleslaw was average. The mini cornbread muffins were bland and oily (that's the only thing I wish were better). Great food, great service (Chelsea B.), and cozy ambiance. Highly recommend!

    This place was phenomenal. An absolute gem of a find in Old Colorado City - the service was amazing. She was attentive and funny, very personable. The food was very tasty, especially since we came so close to closing. The fried artichokes were the best! I recommend those and the fried okra, the serving sizes are massive! The patio was really nice, definitely sit there if you can! It's open but covered. Great spot!

    Tourist review: so, so glad we stopped here for dinner on a Saturday night! We were looking for a spot to watch some college football and landed on Front Range Barbeque... excellent service from start to finish. Immediately the staff honored our request to change tables so we could be near a TV and they were kind enough to put on our game. The bartender was also our waiter and he was awesome. Hubs and I split a plate so we could try a little bit of everything. The meat was super tender & flavorful and baked beans were perfect. I'm a big sides girl and loved the crispy onions and cornbread. We don't usually eat leftovers but this time we did! The ambiance is definitely bar-type which surprised me that they had so few TVs. If you're looking for a spot to watch a game, you could get lucky like us or maybe consider another location... otherwise, a perfect dining experience in Old Colorado City.

    Excellent service and great barbecue! We made the drive here a couple weeks ago and glad that we did. Dad got the ribs and he loved them! Husband got the brisket and it was amazing - so juicy and perfect. I got the brisket burnt ends and that was one of the best I've had in a really long time. Everyone wanted to try the burnt ends. Our server was so sweet, I was suffering from a bad throat and she got me some warm water and also offered to custom make a spicy barbecue sauce for us which was delicious. I really liked this place and I will be back soon. Highly recommend.

    Traveled to OCC from Alabama and found this hidden gem. In Alabama Front Range BBQ would be ranked as the Best of the Best!!! To have this restaurant in Colorado with Brian and his staff cooking up great food is like eating at home!! I will be sure to stop in for a rack when visiting the area.

    Perhaps I prefer BBQ from Texas or Kansas City and don't know "southern" BBQ that well; I missed the smoky flavor here. The BBQ Brisket Burnt Ends, a dish I always try when I see it on the menu, were lovely and moist, but they missed a lot of the smoke flavor and bark I expected. The BBQ ribs, which appear to be the specialty here, were tender and fell off the bone. I once again missed any smoke flavor. I prefer St. Louis ribs to baby back ribs and appreciate that this place serves the bigger, meatier bones. And with the two BBQ sauces they offer, this helped. Both sauces were nice; the sweet and spicy was my preference, although not spicy, in my opinion. The side of green beans with bacon and onion was terrific, and this is a BBQ side I wasn't familiar with, but I really enjoyed it. The BBQ beans were OK, nothing special, but solid. My wife had a catfish sandwich, which she enjoyed. The fish was delicious, but the bun was a bit heavy in the overall balance of the sandwich. The service was excellent, and the restaurant is very dog-friendly with nice outside seating. This restaurant has much better BBQ than, say, Rudy's nearby, but I can't say I was blown away. It is worth trying, and if I'm just off base with my preference for BBQ (which does differ from region to region), take that into account.

    Super nice folks. An incredible, local vibe. Kinda like a dive but in a great, positive way. Ordered the smokehouse BBQ burger with pork belly bacon! So many great choices to try. Just here in CSprings for a conference and found on Yelp. Recommend checking it out!

    The Sloppy Pig the only sandwich I ever get, Carnivore on steroids. I recommend this to everyone!

    The sloppy pig !! The Best and only sandwich I order when we come here. Burnt ends and cheese curds!

    I absolutely love this place and it's the only good BBQ i've found in Colorado . The staff is just so personable and attentive. The owner cares so much about the product he is putting out, you can see him going table to table to check in. The restaurant is cozy, has an amazing relaxed atmosphere and has live music!!!! Now for the food...yes, just yes, give me it all. The catfish is just absolutely amazing, I don't think I have ever had better. The pulled chicken with double green beans is my go to for a "healthy" dinner, it's a huge plate of moist red bird. The green beans are just tasty and if you are around when they have collards definitely get them. The brisket is good but not top tier, I like mine with a little heavier bark and some more flavor. Pro tip, get extra pickles.

    Oh my word! The food is SO GOOD!…read more Okay, my first thing to report that wasn't really mentioned in the reviews I saw...there is outdoor seating and very limited indoor seating. The indoor seating filled up very quickly and it was just a bit too chilly to sit outside in the shade today. Everyone seems to talk about the line that forms before the restaurant opens. I stood and chatted with folks waiting in line. The folks that were doing the meat smoking and taking orders were all SUPER FRIENDLY even though they were also working so diligently to get orders prepared and customer orders ready. The food! We ordered so much food. We'll be eating BBQ all weekend. We got a pound of brisket. This was smart because damn, it's delicious! I love that they cut it thick. Its perfectly smoked and not too fatty, though they also sell a moister brisket too. We got a full rack of pork ribs too! This is a lot, but also absolutely phenomenal taste and chew! Perfectly smoked! We got potato salad, coleslaw and beans. All fantastic and at an affordable price. We couldn't pass up the cobbler and got both the peach and the bourbon pecan cobblers. I'm so full. Time for a nap. But I've already decided this is where I'm going for my birthday next month. I loved The Chuckwagon!

Not bad at all, also not the same. The burger was kind of dry and almost seemed reheated, which is not at all the norm. I was so excited to have a location nearer to me.

Snag some street parking in Downtown Colorado Springs across from Acacia Park and mozy on into the Diners, Drive Ins and Dives favorite, Skirted Heifer. I remember watching their episode 10 years ago. I didn't even live in Colorado back then! Their claim to fame is the iconic cheese "skirt" on their burgers. The way they melt the cheese, you get this funky crispy cheesy entity around the burger resembling a skirt. On this visit, I kept it simple with the Pueblo Farmer and fries. Pueblo Farmer ($12.25) // Grass-fed beef, pueblo chilies, pepper jack cheese, & homemade guacamole on our sesame seed bun. Beefy, spicy, creamy, a perfectly balanced burger. I didn't get it skirted (I honestly was so tired from driving that I forgot), but I wouldn't change much about this burger. Damn tasty! Burgers don't come with fries so I added those on. These are thin and salty. Even though the fries are extra, they have a little sauce bar with their ketchup, ranch, and Heifer sauce to accompany it. The sauces were all great and tasted homemade! Honestly, just wish there was more seating as it's usually crowded. They do have a few outdoor stools, but it does get chilly when the sun is down. If it's good enough for Guy (Fieri...duh) it's good enough for me!
