The person taking the order was rude. Menu was confusing and rather restricted. BBQ sauce tasted nothing like any BBQ sauce I’ve ever had in a bad way. The food was average at best. Burnt end sandwich had a good smoky flavor but the BBQ sauce ruined the flavor. Ribs were fatty and not fresh and had too much seasoning on them. I wish I had gone somewhere else and gotten BBQ that was actually worth it so I was really disappointed with this place.

My friend and I met for lunch at Gates. When placing my order, I asked for a “Pulled pork sandwich” and my friend ordered “Burnt Ends.”

Complete new staff. Nice people but the food has changed not for the better. Don’t be fooled by the delicious looking burger on the menu. It’s a thin piece of disgusting meat.

They literally gave me a sandwich FULL OF FAT and NO MEAT AT ALL. I work hard for my money. Idk if it was that fat white boy with tattoos on his face or if yall just suck but next time Im in KC Im tempted to stop by and go off on yall. Who tf want to eat chopped fat? If you dont have burnt ends tell customers you sold out! I had to throw it away.

Hadn’t been here since the building burned down years ago. Way too long as their bbq is one of my favorites. I use their original sauce in my baked bean recipe at home. My favorite. Got the usual “Hi, how may I help you”, upon entry. My ribs were excellent. Tender, fall off the bone and juicy. Beans were smoky. My wife and cousin both had the burnt end sandwiches. Neither could finish the large portions. I carried home the extra and added it to beans I made the next day for a family bbq. Yum.

When I walked in, I didn’t realize they are supposed to be “crass” or “rude”. I thought I was receiving poor service, but as a traveler I wasn’t aware that was their thing. Later, the hostess proved to show unequivocal hospitality and the food + SAUCE was delicious. Sausage was maybe a big boring but nonetheless I ate my fill! Great food.

Gates is a spot I was satisfied with. Customer service is wonderful the staff is hilarious and fun. As for the food this won’t be for everyone, gates sauce is Sriracha based which is fine if you like Sriracha. They do have a sweet and mild sauce that I didn’t try, maybe that would make it better. Overall it was fine food with fun people. I say give it a shot.

I rolled in late and stopped by this location. The people were super nice. I got the chopped burnt end sandwich….it was good. I’m more a fan of the cubed competition style burnt ends as I think the chopped relies on sauces to carry it…but I digress. It was very did and the sandwich was MASSIVE! I went to Gates 20 years ago and after going back, I won’t let 20 yrs go by again without going back. I’ll have to try the rest of the menu! The fries and beans were awesome though!

Great place for great BBQ food. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the area. I got the short end ribs and they were great! The fries are very good but the baked beans are even better!!
