I don’t know what kind of wizardry they’re performing in the smoker at Bates City BBQ, but I’m 97% sure they’ve got a direct portal to barbecue heaven back there.
Walked in smelling like stress and regret. Walked out smelling like brisket and better decisions.
The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone like they’re tired of holding on to their past. The burnt ends? Tender cubes of meat candy sent directly from the grill gods. And the sauce? Somewhere between a warm hug and a spicy love letter. I’d put it on my taxes if the IRS allowed it.
I ordered the combo platter thinking I’d save some for later — LOL. That plate didn’t see the light of a to-go box. I blacked out somewhere between the smoked turkey and the baked beans and woke up licking my fingers like a caveman rediscovering fire.
10/10 would sell a kidney to eat here again.

Been going here since I was a kid. Always good food and the meat is always beautiful. Great people too! The resturant is cool too because of all the old license plates and history.

Ordered a Shawnee southern sandwhich.. it was about 80% coleslaw and 20% pulled pork. The bun was literally soaking due to a liquid at the bottom of the box. I called them to let them know and they said there is nothing they can do about it. I wouldn’t recommend this bbq to anyone, worse in Kansas. No flavor. Nothing special about it, feeding the rest to my dog.

The burnt ends were very disappointing. They were dry and overcooked.

They delivered food for a recent family/fraternity event ~ so professional and easy to work with! Would definitely recommend.
Amazing taste and friendly employees. Clean store and good value. Try the beans!

BBQ and fries were spot on in great taste, ribs fell off the bone, very friendly Team, atmosphere was clean and had memorabilia to look at. I found a TWA license plate that was interesting to me. Drove 20 minutes after reading these reviews to find out as we are new to the area. Will be back and highly recommend. We had the mixed plate and bbq brisket.

Some of the best bbq in the metro, a real hidden gem. I've always been a fan of Bates City BBQ, bring it to all sorts of parties and occasions and everyone loves it.
