  It is tradition to be greeted by a prompt, "Hi, May I help you?" Our tip: Don't be pressured; take your time and order what you want!

  Very intimidating. Like the soup nazi of BBQ. But the food is good.

  Made our South's Best List! Try the stellar burnt ends and ribs, especially when spiked with spoonfuls of cumin-laced, almost marinara-like sauce.

  "Hi, may I help you," is another great KC tradition. Tasty ribs and LOVE the beans. Turkey sandwich also good. Gates is a MUST on a KC BBQ tour.

  Worst service I have ever had. They are rude from the time you walk in the door to the time you leave. I felt rushed like I was holding them back from a smoke break or something. Do not come here.

  Sweet ambiance, with belt-fed fans circulate the delicious scent of slow roasted brisket and mutton. Get the triple-decker of beef or pork. They also serve the world's best potato salad.

  From the time a server yells, "HI MAY I HELP YOU?!" to the second you finish your sammich, Gates is an experience. An essential pit stop on a KC barbecue tour.
