Love Gates BBQ , but this place needs a lot of improvement. Only one gal working the line . Taking orders, serving food & manning the cash register needs to be done by at least 2 or 3 people.

Kendall Chadwick

Loved the burnt end sandwich . Simple but delicious.

Karen Potter

I love the pork sandwich . My husband loves the sausage .

Alden W. Jones

This is the baseline for which all other KC BBQ joints are measured, and better than any where else in the nation

What a nice parking attendant. He showed us a parking spot and then wanted a tip. But we only had 60 cents...

It is tradition to be greeted by a prompt, "Hi, May I help you?" Our tip: Don't be pressured; take your time and order what you want!

Interesting bathroom for a restaurant . So many Gates bathroom hookups!

Christian Wall

This place burnt down earlier this year. Gotta try one of the other Gates locations.

Fresh fries . I think Caucasians get slighted

Tara Weld

beef on bun with fries ! short ends, slab to go back to indianapolis!

Ryan Bentley

Disappointed. Both the BBQ pork on sandwich & the fries were cold. Fries had been clearly sitting there for some time. The pork had good taste still, but bleh. Front counter people were mailing it in.

Victoria Libeer

Great for grabbing right before i-70 drive in ....

Melody Gilbert

So good... Love the Classic BBQ sauce !

Amber Coyle

service is terrible and cooks are slow. People behind us got their burnt ends before we did because he forgot "heavy on the sauce". By far the worst Gates in the city . I'll go to Paseo from now on.

Lori Hurt

Call before ordering and don't eat threre.

Renee Benson

Yummy yummy! Perfect before a Royals game!

Christopher Brown

Look here beef of bun please

Erick Aguilar

Awesome BBQ !

Stacy

Rude staff , scream just to hear themselves yell. I think they're trying to be authentic but they're just rude and loud . One guest service lady nice but the obnoxious order takers need to go!

Amy Cummings

Order the choice meat on a bun with fries .

Mark Cassel

Extra hot sauce is best in KC.

Vinny J

Get Beef on Bun , add x-tra hot sauce .

Burnt ends

Andy Anders

Ok. But not NC style

Julie Klein

I thought the employees were rude and the BBQ got cold while waiting on my fries . I do not recommend coming here.

Chris Miller Burda

Employees were rude and had major attitude problems. Food was cold right off the grill. Yuck!!!!
