    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.

    Sorry to say but we had the worst Brisket with a 50%+ waste due to gnarley and fatty meat that seemed to be undercooked.

    I know this place is know. For its bbq, but the burgers is where it's at. Plus their live music and ambiance are great too.

    The Seoul Bowl absolutely steals the show here. Thinly sliced bulgogi, layered over rice with crisp…read morevegetables, kimchi, and a sunny side up egg creates a rich, balanced bite every time. Once mixed together, the yolk coats everything into a delicious fresh dense bowl that's deeply satisfying without feeling too heavy. The crispy calamari was a great, light, crunchy meal. The octupus pieces were thick and paired well with the sweet chili sauce. The breading wasn't distracting but rather adding to the flavor. The thai chili salmon plate was bright and fresh, with a nice balance of glaze, greens, and noodles. Overall, higher quality for lower price. We will be returning. Cocktails were just as thoughtful as the food -- vibrant, fruity, sweet, and beautifully presented. If you come here, order the Seoul Bowl. It's comforting, flavorful, and easily the standout dish on the table

So being in Colorado Springs, Rudy's was calling. Ordered half pound of moist brisket, 1/4 lb pulled pork, Cole slaw, corn on the cob, banana pudding, and peach cobbler. The order taker was very nice and polite and ordering was quick and easy. There was a bar with pickles, onions, jalapeños, etc. regular and sissy sauce at the table(you don't need it on the brisket). The Cole slaw..well it was Cole slaw. My wife loved the corn on the cob. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. The brisket was just amazing. Juicy, tender without being mushy, and a deep Smokey flavor. And the bark...my lord....so delicious. I was very very happy. Def in a moist brisket coma afterwards. Only disappointment was the deserts. Not very good. Wife did not like the banana pudding and the cobbler crust had zero crunch..like it was soft. I probably would not order that again. But overall super happy! You guys ever want to put one in Los Angeles or OC? Other out of states chains have done well...notably Portillos (Chicago based beef sandwich chain) in Buena Park. You'd blow everyone else out of the water(though I haven't tried Heritage in South OC).
