Good BBQ! I had the mixed plate which had 3 different types of meats on it, brisket, ham, and ribs. The ribs were by far the best part, absolutely delicious. The brisket was good too but the ham was alright. Thick french fries and some bread for the sides. Jazz music was played and the atmosphere was pretty chill. It is pretty pricey but good to try. 4 stars!

I heard this was the place to get good bbq so I checked it out. Good variety of food. I tried the bbq beef on bun sandwich with chili cheese fries. Very hearty sandwich and the chili cheese fries had good flavor. It’s a black owned business so I was happy to support.

Great food!! Try the turkey that was our favorite. We got a small platter plate and it was huge! 4 kids and two adults and left overs for sure. Great welcoming service!

Got the mutton plate and it was really good. Lamb was fattier than I would’ve liked but it was good. Friendly staff and found out the Gates family was actually there.

Gates is a Kansas City institution. They are well organized and the bar-b-que is very tasty. We went to the one on 12th Street and service was great. We dined in. They also have a small bar attached to the venue. In addition they have a parking lot.

Purchased 2 sandwiches totalling around 40.00. Sad to say that the quality of the sandwiches were very poor. Sandwiches were full of fat. More fat than lean meat. For the amount of money spent I would think I would get better quality. I won’t be returning.

My first time here and I thought my food was yummy since I was soo hungry. But my boyfriends grandma was really upset about her food , her food was fatty and not worth the money. Half the food was FAT! 70 dollar meal. But fat was awful,

This is my hands down favorite place to eat in Kansas City. If you asked me to summarize the taste of the city in one bite, it’s a burnt end sandwich…and fries…and strawberry soda.
