Firehouse on the Run BBQ

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

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.
