Best BBQ in Colorado Springs
21 businesses in Colorado Springs · ranked by community reviews, Locals Gold score, and ratings.
Colorado Springs has a serious BBQ scene, and it's scattered across the city in ways that matter. You'll find smoke stacks near the Broadmoor, in Old Colorado City, along the east side near Fort Carson, and in neighborhoods most tourists never reach. The best spots here aren't chains—they're places that understand Colorado's blend of high altitude, dry air, and a military town's appetite for real food cooked slow. This ranking comes from locals who actually eat at these places, not national algorithms or paid placement. We've weighted Locals Gold scores and community reviews to show you which pitmasters have earned trust over time. When you're choosing, check whether a spot does its own smoking or sources from elsewhere—it matters in Colorado, where humidity and elevation change everything. If you're feeding a crew, call ahead. The best BBQ here runs out most Fridays and Saturdays.
