Gates -b-q - Kansas City

So I finally had an opportunity to try Gates. The barbecue is really good with and without sauce. I had the Nooner special. It's a lot of food for such a small price.. The drinks are amazing. The staff is funny just like you would expect of Southern Hospitality.

You see all those positive reviews about some true KC bbq, better believe they are all true. I saw some folks say that they were greeted rudely, but honestly, I had a small wait with 4 folks in front of me, and it was nothing rude about it. Serving sizes are large, so just plan accordingly. Walked in looking like piglet and walked out looking like Winnie the Pooh!

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!

The food was fantastic and our waitress was super attentive and sweet! Not the biggest fan of the BBQ sauce here but that's not gonna deter us from returning at all... highly recommend this place

Very rude people. I have been to a lot of gates locations in this city. This one has to be the nastiest one so far. Of course I'm not the right color here for sure. They play favors to other blacks here. The food was dry and not good at all. Fly traps up everywhere and full. Wallpaper peeling off the wall. Very dirty place.34.00 for sausage on bread, beans , orings,and a soda. Won't ever be back to this location. Had to fight off the Flys for my food.
