Well where do I start? I've been here a few times. Each time I come here expecting an outstanding barbecue experience, and each time I am left disappointed. I think it's time I write a review to let people know, and maybe, just maybe, the people who are responsible for the quality of the food may take notice and work to improve it. That being said​, some people may tolerate substandard food, but I'm done with this place for a long time because when you spend $100.00 for 2 people, you expect a quality meal. The front of house staff is absolutely fantastic. Polite, cordial, helpful, thoughtful. I wish I could say to the same thing about the kitchen staff. I can't help but wonder if they secretly hate their customers. I've had the burnt ends, the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, spicy coleslaw, fries, and fried onions straws. ​Out of everything I've listed, the pulled pork is the only thing that has been Top Notch. Had that on a previous visit. On another visit, when we ordered the burnt ends, burnt is supposed to be a figure of speech. Burnt ends are not supposed to be burnt to the point where they are charred and ashy. But this place excels on charred and ashy. One would think that the kitchen staff would take a look at the results and if the burnt ends look like a charcoal briquette, they would probably do everyone a service by replacing it with something that looks more like a piece of meat. Some people can't eat it that way but if you are up for a challenge, and put enough barbecue sauce on it, maybe you can manage your way through it. Last night I had the two rib combo. So did my son. The fried onion straws were delicious. The mini cornbreads were delicious but one bite and they're gone. They made up for it by giving us a heaping pile of french fries. This was not a good thing, I assure you. The french fries were absolutely disgusting. Worst thing on the plate for both of us. They were the imperfect combination of burnt, limp, and soggy. I tried a few but after stomaching the few that I ate, it was more of a chore than a pleasure. The ribs easily came off the bone, but they were almost too dry. Obviously they kept them in the warming oven so long that they just dried out and didn't want to waste food so they served​ them to us. Lastly, the brisket. The brisket was colorless, with little to no smoke-ring, it was not tender. The texture was like biting into a cold hot dog. Thee was absolutely no juice in the meet. Again, likely the results of being in the warming oven too long but not wanting to throw out dried, low quality food and waste it, they served it to us, instead of losing money. I wish I could post a video . Then you would see just how bad the brisket and the fries were. read more

The food was excellent and the staff were super friendly while accommodating to our very large party. The atmosphere was fun and it had a unique ambiance being in an old home in the heart of OCC. One critique I will make is that in the summer months, they open up their space outdoors, and there is only one stall bathroom for each gender and the lines were really frustrating to wait so long. Everything else pertaining to the establishment however was 5 . read more

The worst barbecue ever. You can't even call it barbecue. The meat was dry. People that are given this place four and five and even three stars just truly do not know what good barbecue is. read more

Great food and service. I love the ribs best, my wife usually gets the brisket. Honestly, it all looks and smells fantastic. I really look forward to when they have the shrimp and grits. Also, it the best place to hear/see music on the Westside. Every Wednesday and Sunday, Bruce and Brian have the bestest musicians around play at the FRBBQ. read more

Tried this BBQ place with friends who recommended it because it was on triple D years ago. Very nice old building with character and a nice little bar. Service was excellent and all the servers seemed to help each other. The BBQ was good. I had the burnt end plate that was good. BBQ pork beans were great. Spicy slaw was not as spicy and flavorful as I expected. Full bar and plenty of beer to choose from. read more

Front Range Barbeque - Drink menu - Barbeque Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Nice little bbq joint! Smells were awesome. The only thing (and important) that really bothered us was the brisket. We ordered a pound and it was incredibly dry (see photo). Felt like we were eating rubber tires. We had to smother it in bbq sauce + more. We come from the south so I shouldn't compare bbq, but that brisket was too dry for any bbq joint. Service was great though. Friendly staff! read more

Excellent restaurant, great staff, and the food is awesome! My favorite dish is their pulled pork sandwich with spicy Cole slaw and when the winds are available they are some of the best in town! Love the live music and their place is so fun in the summer! read more

So delicious. We ordered 2 drinks and ribs + 1 meat plate. It was delicious and the perfect amount of food. Melissa was our wait staff and she recommended the succotash that was a special side for the day. Highly recommend it. We ate in the outdoor dining room. It was perfect and a great atmosphere. In total, the meal and drinks was under $60, which is a steal for two for where I'm from. Would recommend to anyone looking for nice bbq. read more

Where to start?! The bbq is amazing, the service good and fast. Sauces are obviously important, loved the sweet and spicy, and the other red, can't remember. Ordered full rib and pork plate (wanted the brisket, will come earlier for the brisket!!!) Everything was amazing, so much meat on the ribs. Great sides and fantastic desserts, key lime and pecan pie a must. read more

Front Range Barbeque - A sandwich I made with leftovers. Ribs and pulled pork. - Barbeque Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

I love the ambiance of this place. Overall, not much had Smokey flavor. The ribs were dry, pulled pork was 60% fat or more. The rice and beans were awful. Nobody at my table ate theirs. I do have to say that my family and I ate all the same things for meals at home yesterday except from here...woke up at 4am sooo sick to my stomach and can't manage to get off my couch today due to stomach pain. Will not recommend. Don't waste your money. It sucks because my husband had high hopes for this place for Father's Day. read more

My brother took us to this place. I got the burnt ends, husband got the pork loin. The burnt ends were tender and juicy. The sweet and spicy BBQ was so amazing. We had to buy a bottle to take home.We were from Kansas City and this place was way better than anything Kansas City has to offer hands down! You absolutely need to eat here and get the Burnt ends. They are rare to find and you will not be disappointed. read more

Mouth is drooling just thinking of this place again. We were walking in downtown and asked the clerks of a store we were in where they recommended for lunch and they said Front Range. So glad we listened to them the food was amazing. Classic BBQ loaded with flavor and with all the sides you would want. Portions were massive so I was happy to take the leftovers home to eat again. They have indoor and outdoor dining. Waitress was super nice! read more

Front Range Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

So my husband and I had this on our must try list from watching diners drive ins and dives and let me tell you it did not disappoint! Being raised in Texas and comparing my bbq to the places I have gone to in Texas they had a lot to stand up to and boy I think they gave all my local Texas hole in the wall favorites a run for their money... I loved the flavor of the brisket no sauce was needed at all my husband had the sloppy pig and he said that sandwich is bigger than my mouth lol but throughly enjoyed it - he isn't one to like coleslaw but actually liked this one. I will say the only downfall for me was there wasn't much of a selection of sides ( I'm used to macaroni and potato salad or cream corn ) but the baked beans are amazing and so are the green beans - Ps a big baked potato topped with chopped brisket would be amazing as well I can't wait to go back and try the smoked artichoke We had the burnt ends as a side and they were so delicious!!! read more

Wow. If you're in the springs, you NEED to eat at Front Range. We live in Centennial and make the drive just for their brisket. Their homemade "sweet and spicy" bbq sauce is unlike anything I have ever tasted and I wish they would sell it. It's SO good and the perfect compliment on anything - especially the dry rub wings. A cute little hole in the wall type interior which also boasts a nice outdoor area when the weather is nice. The best part... it's truly SO affordable! read more

Mel was amazing! Would definitely recommend this place. Great food and even better company. A great family owned restaurant read more

A fantastic experience from start to finish! We couldn't decide on a restaurant while scanning the internet on our last night visiting Colorado Springs. Finally, I just said, "Let's go to the BBQ place." I'm so glad we did! This was the most amazing food, service, atmosphere, music, etc. It honestly checked every box. If/when I do return to Colorado Springs, I will most certainly come back. In the meantime, I'll be dreaming of this night. (I had the chicken BBQ plate w/mashed taters and green beans, my fella had the pulled pork, and we both had margaritas.) Side note: we had walked past this spot earlier in the day and I have to say it didn't look like much from the storefront. It's definitely a hidden gem and probably a favorite of the locals who know what's up. read more

Front Range Barbeque - Pulled Chicken Plate and Pulled Pork Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The food sucked. I was there at 4 PM on a Saturday. In fact this very Saturday. I ordered brisket and the rib combo. Both of them came out as dry as they can be. It was like it was under a heat lamp for two hours. In order to take a few bites, I had to soak it barbecue sauce. Cardboard in the same barbecue sauce what it tasted just as good. read more

Great visit! I got the sandwich featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It was gigantic and very tasty. My wife got a pulled pork sandwich, also large, tasty, and cooked well. Also had the Pecan Pie, but we ate that so fast there was nothing left for a picture. The ice cream was home made! The service was prompt but not pushy. The ambiance was casual but comfy and interesting. It felt welcoming and like our being there was appreciated. I left full and happy with the money I spent. We were seated in a room with 3 other tables. They were spaced comfortably apart, clean, and without a whole lot of table clutter. There were lots of interesting art pieces and photos on the wall celebrating Mardi Gras, Blues, and Colorado culture. There was also a functional dart board. The waitress gave us some darts to use while there weren't any other guests in the room! I would say this is probably the food highlight of Colorado Springs! Next time I'm in town, this is a must stop. read more

I'm a sucker for good barbecue, and we hit the jackpot at Front Range! Everything ordered by all three of us was fantastic. My friend who grew up in Texas said, "I don't know how it could have been better." The wings, the ribs, the brisket burnt ends, the sauces--and the cornbread--all delicious, in a friendly atmosphere. Our server Mel was fantastic, and she actually appeared in the Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives episode when Guy Fieri visited in 2015. They had some great outdoor seating in front as well as covered seating along the side. read more

Service was great. The atmosphere was good. My son and I both had brisket. I have to say the brisket was not good at all. It was extremely dry and flavorless. The only thing that made it bearable was adding bbq sauce. Which typically with good brisket I don't use. My daughter had the catfish which she said was very good. Overall I don't think would go back unless the hired a pit master that knows how to smoke good bbq. read more

Food was delicious! Our waitress was super sweet. We had family in town they wanted to try this place because they saw it on DDD. It did not disappoint. read more

Food, service, ambiance and the Wednesday Music. It was a great find. A memorable evening.

The barbecue portions were large but not for the price. Sides were forgettable. Friendly staff, but overall not worth it. Won't be back.

Food took a long time to come out. Our orders ended up being mixed up and the steak and potatoes were incredibly salty.

Great BBQ and good portions. All the meats were cooked to perfection. Juicy and full of flavor. Great service. Full bar with great drink combinations. The Elder Flower drink was refreshing and tasted great. Everyone is friendly and make you feel welcomed. Cozy atmosphere. read more

Front Range Barbeque - The Sloppy Pig - Barbeque Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

My husband had been looking forward to going to this place for some time, hes a huge fan of BBQ. The atmosphere is good, staff friendly, and plenty of seating inside, the place was clean, service was fast. The menu is also very promising with a lot of choices. The margarita was delicious! The food. Very, very average, I might even say below average. Kids meals were good value. I got the half rack BBQ ribs which were extremely disappointing. Dry and bland. Worst of all, my drinking straw with thicker than the ribs I received. It tasted like nothing, even the green beans were better, and that's the side noone wants. My husband also got half a rack of ribs with brisket, his ribs were longer than mine and had slightly more meat. Please view photos to see the lack of meat on the ribs. We hadn't eaten all day so I ate everything AND ordered a plate of wings after because there was no meat on my ribs. The wings were dry also. So overall, extremely disappointed and will not be coming back or recommending this place. read more

The service was great. The food itself was good. The biggest issue was the bbq sauce. It wasn't good bbq sauce at all. It tasted like it has a spaghetti/marinara base. It's not a traditional sticky sweet taste. They definitely need to get a better bbq and then we'd come back. read more

Front Range Barbeque - Burnt Ends Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

This is sit down and serve versus get in line TX style BBQ. We chose to sit on the porch because it was nice out. The only downside to that is once a wait starts, people are congregating in the area for their tables. Between all of us we had brisket, pulled pork, ribs, baked beans, green beans, fries and the special side. That was pesto pasta salad. The ribs were tender and fall off the bone. My son said they were the best ribs he's ever had. They were good but not the best I've had. My other son loved the pulled pork. The brisket was pretty good, but a little dry. The beans were pretty good. Green beans ok. Fries were fresh cut and perfectly cooked. Cornbread was delicious and nice and moist! I'd return for more. Servings were a good size and price wasn't bad. For 5 of us it was $92. Though only one of us had a soda. read more

This place completely exceeded my expectations!! We had a great night there last week, full of delicious food and excellent entertainment. Front Range was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, so we ordered the Guy- recommended pork (Sloppy Pig) sandwich. It lived up to the hype!! I loved the combo of meats, along with the barbecue sauce, cheese, onion straws, slaw, and pickles. The sweet potato bun was a nice touch as well. We were delighted to see the bluegrass band performing out front, and gladly paid the $5/person cover charge to sit near where they played. They were talented, and the entertainment added so much to the evening. All of the staff we interacted with at Front Range were so friendly and accommodating. We also loved the pecan pie and key lime pie we ordered for dessert! Lastly, the prices are good at this restaurant. Don't miss Front Range Barbecue!! read more
