Gates Bar-B-Q

Gates Bar-B-Q serves classic Kansas City–style barbecue with brisket, ham and beef sandwiches, and hearty fries. The tomato-based sauces, including a tangy, peppery original and a milder sweet option, are a central part of the experience. Counter-style ordering and a lively bar area create an energetic, character-filled atmosphere that many diners associate with a longstanding local tradition.
