Best coleslaw ever

   Msdanahi - 02/27/2009

I would recommend take-out at Gates for their coleslaw but not for the meat, which was fatty, cheap, substandard. Gates Barbeque has the best coleslaw I have ever tasted, and I'm not even a coleslaw fan. It has a wonderful, texture, slightly sweet and spicy flavor with many ingredients and a refreshing cucumber taste. I could eat a very large serving, which is unusual for me because I fill up quick. IThe coleslaw also goes great with barbeque. I ordered a large container of coleslaw to go and ate the entire thing in three days!!! If you are on a diet, it will also satisfy your sweet tooth without blowing your diet.

Gates sauces are also very yummy, much better than B.B.s or Jack Stack.( you can buy Gates BBQ sauces at local grocery stores for a reasonable price). I will be seriously be back for the coleslaw and it's worth every penny. Arthur Bryants is a better bet for affordable BBQ, and has large servings of smoky delicious meat at reasonable prices.

Love Gates

I grew up in KC and have loved Gates for years. I live on the West Coast now and order their sauce. My husband insisted on stopping there straight from the airport when we flew home for Thanksgiving one year . I miss being able to go there. KC has the best BBQ - you simply can't get it out here.

Had to try it as locals raved about Gates

You have to order at counter which is part of the fun other than the cashier was hard to understand. We tried ribs, ham and pork . You can try all three of their sauces. I was not impressed with the quality of the meat as a whole. The hame and beef were like processed fare from the supermarket. The beef ribs were succulent. The sauces were tangy. The potato salad was outstanding and the bean were alright. The dining room is quite dingy and the service is minimal. We would not go back. We preferred our next night visit to Fiorella Jacks Stack in the plaza. What a big difference.

Best Ham sandwich anywhere!

I've been to a lot of bar-b-que places in my time. There is no sandwich anywhere that is better than the Ham-and -a-half. The ham is piled two inches high and with the original sauce, there is no better. Throw in some fries and you have a meal the can't be beat!

Great Food + Great Folks

unless u like being yelled at as soon as u get to the order station, don't go here!!!!!!!!!!!! have never seen any place that was as rude as this place !!!!!!!!!!!! can't believe the owner would like his business ran like this. they must be tired of running the joint. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE READY TO TAKE YOUR PLACE.

You Can Do Better than Gates

Nothing worse than cold BBQ - and thats what the rude staff likes to serve up everytime I go there. This place is crap and the food is way overpriced.

"Hi, May I Help You?" - YES, STFU!

Assembly Line BBQ

MUCH better can be had in KC and many other places. Higher priced for not much, and average at best.
