Gates Bar-B-Q

Gates is Kansas City history. This "Bar-B-Q" spot opened in 1946 and hasn’t slowed down since. There are tons of locations in the KC area, with a large number being downtown. Gates holds much of it's old charm in the simple décor that reflects the time the brand has been around. They keep it simple here, but nothing is limited on flavor. Be prepared to yell "Turkey on Bun!" (which means turkey sandwich) or whatever else you'd like over the 16 people in front of you in line, because the second you walk in someone at the counter will shout "Hi! May I help you?!" and you better know fast. Gates is also perfect for takeout if you're looking to cater a tailgate or at home party. Best of all? It's reasonably priced!
