Black-Owned Restaurants in Colorado Springs to Support in 2026

A Jamaican restaurant that also runs a food truck, gumbo and jambalaya and po' boys, a seasonal Southwestern tasting menu with craft cocktails, barbecue catering, a coffee and ice cream shop, and a gluten-free kitchen that does not make that the whole personality. Food is the largest part of the Colorado Springs record, and it covers a week of eating rather than one occasion.

Every business named here links to its profile, where the ownership tag shows the source it came from. For everything in the metro, filter the Colorado Springs hub.

Quick answer

1. Jamaican: High Grade Foods, from the dining room, the truck or delivery.
2. Creole and Cajun: Po' Brothers for gumbo, jambalaya and po' boys.
3. A proper dinner out: Four by Brother Luc, seasonal tasting menus and craft cocktails.
4. Gluten-free: Luchals.
5. Coffee and ice cream in one stop: Caffeinated Cow.
6. Barbecue for a crowd: LiL' Howard's BBQ and Catering.
7. Pho and wings: Pho King Wing on Flintridge Drive.
8. The Colorado Springs hub carries all 26 listings across seven categories.

Dinner

Four by Brother Luc serves innovative Southwestern cooking as seasonal tasting menus with craft cocktails and local ingredients, and it is the booking to make when the meal is the evening rather than a stop in it.

High Grade Foods Jamaican Restaurant and Bar covers every version of a Jamaican dinner: a dining room, a food truck and delivery. Po' Brothers cooks gumbo, jambalaya and po' boys, which is a short menu done properly. Luchals cooks gluten-free and authentic at once, which is harder than either separately.

The local Bonefish Grill is a locally owned franchise rather than a corporate location, and that distinction is worth knowing if you care where the money stays.

Daytime, and something sweet

Caffeinated Cow is a family and veteran-owned coffee and ice cream shop, which solves both halves of an afternoon with children. Pho King Wing is on Flintridge Drive.

Cater it

LiL' Howard's BBQ and Catering caters barbecue for private and public events across the city. For the health-minded end of the same job, Whealthy organizes a community competition that feeds a whole day rather than a table.

What the record does not cover yet

Nine of the 26 published Colorado Springs listings are food businesses, and all of them are filed inside the city.

There is no bakery, no brunch spot, no soul food restaurant, no West African or Ethiopian kitchen and no bar in the record yet, and nothing at all in Fountain, Monument, Manitou Springs or Woodland Park. That is a gap in the record rather than a description of the Springs, and it follows from the sources, which are visitor guides rather than a neighborhood directory. A free listing is free to keep.

Common mistakes

• Chasing the truck without checking. One business here runs a restaurant and a truck, and they are not always in the same place at the same time.
• Treating the caterer as a restaurant. The barbecue on this list cooks for events rather than a dining room.
• Assuming a franchise is corporate. One listing here is locally owned under a national name, and the listing says so.
• Expecting suburb coverage. Everything here is in Colorado Springs proper so far.
