Gates Bar-B-Q is a true Kansas City gem! 🍖 I had the Nooner sandwich special, and it came with crispy fries and your choice of sauce for a great price. The burnt ends were heavenly and packed with flavor!

Even on a busy day, the staff were exceptional - friendly and attentive. I also appreciated the casual, cozy vibe of the restaurant.

The baked beans were a delightful side; while the mac and cheese was decent, it didn't steal the show. Overall, a solid experience! Can't wait to return for more! 🥳
