“We love Scott's Kitchen! Everything we have eaten has been delicious - tacos, bowls, beef, chicken, turkey - all of it! They have a variety of heat levels so everyone can find what suits them. Staff is friendly, patient, and helpful in answering questions and serving. The temperature in the dining area is really cold (in my opinion) and the chairs are metal. If we are eating in, I need to remember to take something to sit on just to warm it up! There are outside seating options if the weather is good, as well as carryout.“

This time the chicken shawarma was delicious, the baba ganoush was delicate and packed with flavor, their lentil soup was beautifully spiced. The pita was soft, with olive oil and zaatar, and the falafel was pretty good too. The atmosphere was great and the service was lovely!

The street corn salad and lemon slaw were unique and would definitely recommend. Planning our next outing already to this place.“

The space was bright and cheerful and the staff was incredibly welcoming. What a treat!“

I loved the hospitality they showed, I love the batter on the fish, it's well seasoned and very crispy. I didn't get to try anything else unfortunately, but if it's fried and has the same batter it'll be delicious regardless of what it is. Next time I'm driving through, I'll have to stop by again.“

With the Gold pass you get the one meat platter. I chose brisket and fruit. They had 3 choices for BBQ sauce sweet, original or spicy. I got original. My brisket was so delicious. The chicken strips and fries were awesome. We had some of their waffle fries. My youngest is the pickiest kid ever and tore down the Mac and cheese. The meals average 21.99- 26.99. We have the gold pass with 2 free meals a day so we just got our food scanned and ate. Will definitely eat here again.“

“This is one of the best BBQ places around Kansas City. It is up there with Arthur Bryants and Gates. The food is good, although they seemed to run out of fries each time we went. Everybody has always seemed to enjoy whatever we get there, be it the ribs or some kind of sandwich. The most recent time I went, I got a ham sandwich, and I could maybe eat half of it. The portions are well sized. Since they ran out of fries a few orders ahead of us, I got the jalapeno poppers, which aren't really my thing. In my experience, the fries are just the normal kind of greasy fry you'd expect from a gem BBQ off some sketchy area in KC. The atmosphere got 4/5 because sometimes the ventilation doesn't work 100%, and the smoke from the big smoker fills up the place. Great place overall, reccomend you visit.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp on the inside if you'd like to easily get down to the floor to order food.“

If you don't eat meat or are a pescatarian like me, this is probably not the place for you. My salad was nothing fancy, very basic, yet was $20. Not worth it at all.

I pile on the sauce after every bite.... it's tangy and tasty. On top of that you pay under 10 dollars for the nooner.. that in my book is a deal! Also they provides all customers with free coffee.. and great customer service. Being a long time kansas citian, I remember decades ago I actually ran into Mr. Gates and his wife. Coming back to Gates always brings a little nostalgia for me. I guess this is what KC BBQ is all about. This a must try place.“

“This is how a BBQ place should look like. Smokey, BBQ smell permeated into everything, no frills, no fuss. The BBQ was excellent. The sauce was ok, nothing like anywhere else. Had a tomato soup taste. Not too sweet. They don't do burnt ends daily, so I had the brisket and ribs. Both were very good. Wife had turkey, good, moist, and almost perfect. Try it I'm sure you'll like it as well. I do base my BBQ on as good, better than or worse than Rosedale, and I would pick Rosedale over this, but it has been around forever, they have to be doing something right.“
