Really good food but really complicated to order lol. Lots of chaos at the counter. Some employees seem very nice especially the lady in the dining area assisting with any customer needs. Staff at counter seemed like a mix of friendly and sassy but in a sort of entertaining kind of way. Very fast paced place. I'll definitely go back. Very good value and quality.

Stopped in there with a friend as this place was highly recommend. I got the burned end sandwich, and they truly take the burned part seriously. They must have cooked that dried jerky on the sun. The onion rings were great, and the sauce is fantastic.

The Linwood location may be worse than others but a terrible experience. Service is shockingly bad. The food is no better, meats are not well smoked and the sauce overwhelming. The sausage platter is literally one sausage for $15. The ribs lack flavor. The brisket was probably the only dish that was redeeming.

Straightforward restaurant if you are a local... Everybody else has to ask questions as it is unclear what meats are for sale besides ribs. Brisket, burnt ends, etc. are sold as sandwiches but this isn't clear. You just have to ask and hopefully you get a cashier who is willing to explain. The sauce is spicy and sweet which I love. If you really like spicy as for the house seasoning.

I went and visited this place on my last day in KC. Everyone told me that this was the best bbq in town. Me and my family went and experienced the worst. The customer service was horrible. The cooks looked very unclean and made you feel like you were going to be robbed or something. Very unprofessional. The lady screaming at you as you enter the building. They didn’t give you anytime to think or look at the menu. We were asking questions about certain item menus and they were upset at us for asking questions.No beef products. False advertising products.The taste of the food is horrible. Old meat, old sauce, and the sauce was Nasty.

Delicious as always. My Turkey nooner was meaty, and my fries had a perfect crispness. I took a chicken with beans to go for lunch the next day, and it was amazing. Totally enjoyed!

I’m incredibly disappointed that the online menu for Gates BBQ has no pricing. How is that even possible? On no platform have I been able to access Gates’ menu and see prices for product! Thats a joke! Get in the game, man! I had heard good reviews of the ‘cue, but I want transparency, or I’m not comin!!

I was traveling to Kansas for comicon and stop at gates to have some lunch, when I went in the lady in the front was very rude telling us how she wished we'd ordered before her rush got there and was very rude when we said we have never been there before, the first and foremost thing that was wrong was that she over charged us for our food, she charged us 48 dollars when our food should have been 29 dollars, very rude employee. I personally wouldn't waste my time or money there again.

Ate there today 3/9/24 and Sandwiches were half of what they used to be and with price increase definitely disappointed with the shrinkage. These were the smallest sandwiches I've ever gotten from there in 50 years and they were Double Deckers...I should have complained like the woman ahead of me they remade hers ?.. Even Ollie would have been ashamed. The Last picture was a month ago.and you can see the difference ??? Be a long time if I even return.

I was here on business from Indianapolis and everyone told me to try Kansas City Bbq. When I checked into my hotel, asked for a recommendation and they suggested Gates. I wanted to taste a few different options but didn’t necessarily like the way the menu was set up, however they recommended I try a big plate. It came with 3 meats, fries and bread for $40 after tax. I thought the brisket was could have been a little more juicy. The ribs were pretty decent, although I’ve had better back in Indy, I must admit I accidentally bit my own finger while eating them. But I believe the star of this plate was the turkey. The turkey was amazing and I’m not a big turkey eater. In fact, I’m going to look into ordering some to have shipped for the holidays. It was full of flavor inside and out.
