Gates & Son's Bar-B-Q - Kansas City

Down! the best bbq I ever had! it was smoked to perfection. I chose the sweet and smoky sauce that was delicious. but the smoked flesh stand alone. I had enough for 2 days. many thanks.

We read reviews and thought they were rude, but had good food. we had both, really great eating and service. the portions were really big (a bit expensive) and eating was great. what really surprised us was how nice everyone was. when we sat after eating out the counter, they came to check us out at 3 times (there is no waiting staff) and we are super personable and helpful. yup imho is a certain place to go.

My favorite thing? bring them people who have never been. if someone says hi, can I help them? they don't know what to do. this is my personal favorite. everything I had was well prepared, well maintained, top-personal, just perfect. if they do not have the yammerkuchen, get two and store them one for later because they begin to long more. ask for a spicy sauce. or, better yet, buy a bottle. Happy bonus: steak pommes. love her.

We drove from omaha to kc to get gates bbq! we even have to talk to the owner, mr. gates himself! what a pleasure! we ordered raups and chickens. When we finally came back to omaha, we couldn't wait to eat. the ribs were great! that was a chicken! the staff that took our order was also great! can not wait to go back!

Gates barbecue is at Kansas City staple and I would highly recommend at least going in trying at once I may help you make sure to look for a star on your receipt for a free gift also don't forget to order your gamma pies and always be nice to the ladies they're lovely and they deserve your respect because there are barbecue demands it. Not only that but this place does I believe require you to wear masks or inside so be aware other than that the food is delicious and I would highly recommend getting the nuner or if you are hungry or guy like me you can always Spring for the presidential platter And also try all the sauces and make sure to smell the wood going in the smoker and always season your fry
