Gates BBQ offers a nostalgic atmosphere and friendly staff, with a small inside area that accommodates up to 26 people. The food is described as having spicy sauce on everything, with tender brisket but dry ribs. Some highlights include the tasty ribs, slaw, and beans, while others found the burnt ends disappointing. The burnt ends sandwich is praised for its flavorful meat and well-balanced components. Many customers appreciate the efficient service and cleanliness of the dining area. Prices may vary, with some mentioning higher costs for certain items. Overall, Gates BBQ is recommended for those seeking authentic Kansas City BBQ, with loyal customers returning for the quality food and welcoming staff.
