    Love Gates. I was a customer on 31st and Indiana. I eat at Gates each time I returned to visit in Kansas City.

    You did a credible of describing the culinary excellence, always associated with Gates’ BBQ. And with your diversity statement, you captured the tri-cultural environment that serves to further such excellence. However, you failed to mention the infinite marriage of the Gates’ family and the entire community. They exude home-grown community partnerships, whether in real estate or in steady enployment for hundreds. In short, the recipe extends beyond the pit. That makes for an even better taste. I’m just saying!! Grand Dad

    The taste of Gate’s BBQ is very unique. It has s little spicy kick. My uncle and aunt use to bring it to our family reunions. I had my brother-in-law to bring some to me in Detroit. I could just eat a whole rib by myself.

  4. There is no correction needed if you could read. It said was ONE of the oldest. Not the oldest.

    As a employee of Gates I would like to say the company is a great company to work for. Ollie Gates is very good to his employees. He also hires felons who has had trouble getting a job. He owns almost all the property frm 12th and Prodpect to 12th and Brooklyn. What other BBQ owner has the street the same color as their business

      Amazing testimony!

    Hello I am the white lady that stopped to talk to you about eating this wonderful BBQ for most of my life! It is one of my comfort foods. If you are in Kansas City you need to stop by get a welcome when you walk in the door. Try the sweet and mild with the perfectly cooked fries. I have to have strawberry pop with my BBQ it is the perfect combination of flavors. I enjoyed talking with you. Safe travels.
