Do something about the flies make you not wanna go there
First time trying true kansas city BBQ and was not disappointed at all. Walked in and could smell the food and see the smoke rolling out of the kitchen. The hosts were very helpful choosing what to order and they were very knowledgeable about the menu being able to offer Reccommendations immediately. Chefs were behind the counter and the hosts would call back the order with different names then the menu. It all just added to the experience of some old style BBQ.

Gates Bar-B-Q offers a unique ordering experience similar to Waffle House, where customers can enjoy dishes like burnt end sandwiches and center cut rib plates. The restaurant maintains its old school charm, though some aspects need attention. While one customer found the chicken sausage dry, another enjoyed the beef sandwich. The wings are noted as a specialty, but there have been mixed feelings about the burnt ends, with some describing them as squishy and fatty.
Despite the food receiving varied reviews, the staff creates a welcoming atmosphere. Many customers have praised the kindness and sensitivity of the support team, especially during family gatherings. They go above and beyond to assist diners, moving tables and providing extra help. However, some have mentioned that the food could use more care, and there have been instances where items ran out. The restaurant has a cafeteria-style setup, but some diners have noted that the customer service could improve. The seating and atmosphere are described as outdated, with loud music affecting the overall experience.
