Gates Bar-B-Q

Great service, know what you want when they say, "how may I help you!". The lady at the table behind me complained because it was a "mess". It's BBQ baby, get ready for sauce!!!

Try the beef on bun on bread to go please, hold the sauce lean on the beef , extra crispy on the fries ! Don't forget your side of sweet&mild sauce

The beef-on-bun is my go-to lunch . But the ribs are terrific, as are their fries and slaw . A Kansas City institution. Seriously.

Burnt ends are great. A little commercial, but a great option when in the area.

Classic, legendary Kansas City Bar-B-Q! "Hi, may I help you"! Guaranteed to hear this question asked over & over & over again! Great Bar-B-Q!

Burt Ends, Combo 1/2 with fries and strawberry soda is still my go-to meal for two, or leftover's!

Wonderful service! Love the counter ordering. Have nice draft beers .

Most people get burnt ends or beef sandwiches but try the sausage ! It's split down the center on two slices of bread-delicious!

They yell "May I Help You!" as soon as you walk in line . Really, they yell! Don't be bullied...iIt's all part of the charm. Oh, and the fries ... heaven! Read more

Food was excellent tonight, second time in two days in Gates. I split a beef and a half with my wife, that was enough food for both of us.

All the BBQ is excellent, you can't go wrong with any sandwich !

Burnt End sandwich . That's a lot of sandwich and delicious.

Burnt end on bun is killer. If ordering beef , ASK FOR LEAN. Big difference. As stated in another tip, be READY and be LOUD when they call the famous words "Hi May I Help You?!?!"

Great food, sasuage is very spicy but the ribs were delish

Get the burnt ends , but be prepared to order when you walk in.

Yelling no it's being loud enough so your dumb ass can understand! Military and vets get this!

Gates is good but Joes is still King.

The burnt tip sandwich is great. Ribs are tasty. Brisket is moist & thinly sliced. Try the bbq beans ,too.

Good Eats, BBQ Turkey is great, but the burnt ends are my fav.

Samsung pay loves Gates BBQ !

Best burnt ends in the country

One of the best BBQ restaurants in Kansas City .... Hi may I help you?

Mixed plate!!!

As soon as you walk in the door be prepared to yell your order. It's the norm so put the phone away and walk in the door prepared.

Decor and cleanliness are substandard. Food is OK compared to other KC BBQ joints .

Love Their Ribs ... Yum...

Get the Yammer Pie . You won't be disappointed.

Burnt ends on a bun ? Just say yes.

Beans and fries were great.Beef sandwich was a big disappointment.More fat than meat.

Ask for your fries "crispy"!!!!'

Burnt ends and beef sandwich was full of fat.

The BBQ sauce is unique and taste great on any meat.

President's Platter is really the only way to go. Burnt ends are next in line .
