Pretty enjoyable experience overall.
Food was ordered quickly and served fast, even with a line. I like being able to see a well-run kitchen in action, always cool.
Food was good. My burnt ends sandwich was tasty and filling, Mac and cheese was okay but not my favorite. Still solid though.
Staff was helpful, especially to a guy like me who doesn’t live in KC, hadn’t been in before, and was not entirely sure of the process. Checked on me to make sure I was doing okay.
Solid meal overall, glad I stopped in.
I was pleased with everything from the moment I walked in. The employees were extremely courteous and friendly. The food smelled so delicious I could taste it from the parking lot! They had a lunch sandwich special called the Nooner. It came with fries and your choice of sauce. A great sandwich and a great price. I would highly recommend you try this Kansas City staple.
This place is a true experience, from the time you walk in the door, to when the wonderful crew patiently answers all your questions about the food. Now we got two mixed plates, food is amazing! You get ribs, beef, and ham or turkey and let me tell you every meat on that plate is cooked to perfection, moist and flavorful. Now for the star of Gates BBQ, Ms. Sheila Lenore! This lady is loving and welcoming, she makes you feel like you are meant to be there🩷 We will definitely be back all the way from New Mexico 🩷
Neato train station themed BBQ restaurant. Service cannot get any better. BBQ is on point, but the green beans were the best I've had in a while.
Omg delicious! My first time here and it didn’t disappoint! The service was also amazing! Got there right before a rush - place definitely gets super busy! The bbq sauce is amazing!!!!!
Best ribs. Also underrated pasta salad and beans, all good.
Gates is good. It’s my favorite bbq spot in the city. However, it is salty so drink plenty of water. The original sauce may be a bit spicy for those who do not like spicy foods, but I love it.
It is a sit down/ dine in restaurant but it has always offered Carry out.
The also serve adult beverage and good music.
Had a party of 13
Gates set up a room for us and the waitress treated us like we were best friends
Food was delicious
If you aren’t stuffed when you leave, you didn’t clean your plate
What an Amazing place to eat and meet the proprietor Owner of Gates BBQ! We haven’t had this bbq in over thirty years because we moved. I must say that it still has its quality of flavor and quantity of size to meet our expectations!! We must return on next visit to Kansas City to try other items on their menu.
Our waitperson, she was fantastic!! She made sure that our food was sealed with (love) so the flavors of each ingredient was sealed and would not waste. Kudos to the entire GATES BBQ TEAM for an amazing meal that my family and I experienced once again!! Much Love The Cook Family & The Collins Family 🥰
Was an amazing first time experience. The service by 2 ladies was amazing as well, very kind and helpful. I believe one worker was new, so ordering some of the stuff was a little difficult, and the charge was done incorrectly. But once everything got squared away we really enjoyed our meal. We got the mixed plate and it is totally worth it, definitely sharing size! Not picture but the double deuce is also a really good deal. Ribs were soft, meat came right off the bone 😋 also the sauce!!! I asked for the spicy and it was delicious!
