Just went for the first time and man, the food was great! Sean was a super cool dude and recommend my now favorite the jalapeño poppers and the Mac and cheese was right behind it! Definitely going back!

Absolutely phenomenal meal! Everything was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The meats were incredibly tender and juicy—clearly slow-smoked the right way—and you can tell real care went into every portion. The sides were just as impressive: rich, savory baked beans and creamy, comforting mac and cheese that paired perfectly with the BBQ.
The portions were generous, the presentation was clean and appetizing, and the variety of sauces sealed the deal—each one added its own unique kick. This is the kind of meal that leaves you full, satisfied, and already planning your next order.
If you’re looking for authentic, hearty BBQ done right, this place absolutely deserves five stars.

It’s not always about the size of a place, or how new and pristine. But the heart and character. Now that matters.
Returning to Colorado Springs, Colorado; a 40 year absence from my first experience in 1985, I was in awe of the growth of the Springs. But as I familiarized myself to the territory, I revisited the quaint community of Black Forest. With that, and hunger pains looming, I pulled into a small establishment. A small Barbecue place called Firehouse on the Run.
The building doubles as a convenience store up front, and Barbecue in the back. Again, you wouldn’t think, but without hesitation, I was about to experience something special.
I ordered a beef brisket sandwich/w sweet BBQ sauce and a generous portion of potato salad.
Seating is very limited on the inside, but there is a patio and picnic tables outside. When my food came, I didnt care where I was, as long as the food was where I was.
The brisket was delicious, especially with the sauce, but what I was raving about more was the potato salad. Let me explain. I am from the South, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. If there was ever a food marriage made in heaven, on earth, it would be the creamy mustard based potato salad and WNC.
In other words, I was right at home in the front range of the Colorado Rockies. The cool freshness and overall taste of the potato salad was one for the ages. I didn’t know if the potato salad complimented the brisket, or was it the other way?
But isnt that the way it supposed to work? One compliments the other?
While there, I had a wonderful conversation with an employee that took care of me. I also met the owner. A young man with a humbleness about him. The interaction with the staff made my visit that much more special.
Sure, many of the patrons to this place, grab and go. But due to my proximity and commute, I took in the scene with grace and thankfulness. But if you’re in and around Colorado Springs, and you’re hungry, I suggest you make you a run to Firehouse on the Run. And whatever type of cut you get, you gotta get the potato salad. This boy from the south knows what he’s talking about.

My wife and I stayed at an AirBnB about 5 miles away from Firehouse BBQ. We were looking for something close to keep us away from the Springs area. We were SURE glad that we found Firehouse BBQ in Black Forest. The food was fantastic, the service was amazing and setting was so cool! It’s located in an old gas station/convenience store. They also have live music & a dance floor on the patio area on weekends. Would highly recommend this place! We’re from Texas and have plenty of BBQ options, and this place is right up there with the best of them. We had brisket, ribs, jalapeño brisket mac n cheese & green beans. I wasn’t a fan of the green beans, but my wife loved them! Can’t wait to come back to the Springs area again to go visit Firehouse BBQ.

Best pulled pork I’ve had around the Springs. Brisket Mac n cheese is out of this world, a perfectly spiced bloody Mary, and good music to let the booze set in. Folks are super friendly and food is quick, but you’re gonna want to stay a minute and enjoy.

Great BBQ in the Middle of nowhere! We live in the area and stumbled upon this place after doing section 16. I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! I got a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. My husband got the Brisket, pulled pork, potato salad and brisket mac & cheese. Everything was great! We sat outside with our dog.

Firehouse on the Run BBQ is the real deal! The brisket was absolutely phenomenal—tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The smoked chicken was incredible too—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Every side dish was spot-on and tasted homemade, which really adds to the whole experience.
What really makes this place special is the hometown, family-friendly vibe. The staff couldn’t have been nicer—super welcoming, genuinely warm, and clearly proud of what they do. You can feel the love and passion in every plate they serve.
Great food, great people, and great value. Firehouse on the Run BBQ is the kind of local gem that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend!

The BBQ was a bit dry and lacked flavor. The prices were also a bit high for what we received. However, we will not be going back because 4 out of 5 in our group became sick within 12 hours of eating here. The only common denominator was this restaurant.

Stumbled into this place with my mom, and was not disappointed. Got the brisket and bratwurst plate with a side of coleslaw and baked beans. Everything was delicious. This is the second coleslaw I have really enjoyed. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area, or not. Staff is kick ass, vibes are good, food is on point.
