The young lady at the front was doing great with a busy line on a Tuesday. I appreciated the service from Christina
The food was delicious as always. The lady working in the dining room was amazing. I didn't catch her name though.

Gates has always been a great place for some original KC Bar-B-Q! The meat is good and tender with just the right amount of flavor. The side dishes are wonderful. Whenever I want BBQ, it is always Gates. You are always greeted right when you walk in the door with, "HI! May I help you?" The price is right for BBQ this good. If you have never had it, then stop in and get some. You won't be disappointed!

Had the short ends with BBQ beans. First time having KC BBQ. Tangy with a little kick at the end. My girl had the fries with Gates seasoning. She said they were pretty good.

It was the seasoning on the fries that made my experience a not so good one. I didn’t ask for seasoning on my fries. I couldn’t really enjoy my meal because of all the seasoning that was on my fries. In my opinion yall can do better without the seasoning on fries. Fries are better being cooked the original way.

BQ Experience at Gates!
If you’re looking for top-tier BBQ, Gates is the place to be! The food is absolutely delicious—every bite bursting with rich, smoky flavor. The meat is unbelievably tender, seasoned to perfection, and cooked just right. You can taste the passion in every dish!
Beyond the amazing food, the service is just as impressive. Big Mama at the front doesn’t play any games—she runs a tight ship and makes sure everyone is taken care of with warmth and efficiency. The whole team makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
If you haven’t been to Gates BBQ yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it!
