Gates BAR-B-Q

Decided to go to Gates Bar-B-Q for lunch today. Gates is a well known barbecue place in Kansas City with six different locations. I work near the one in Leawood and I thought I'd document the experience.



There is nothing fancy about the building or the furnishings, but this is the type of establishment that gives Kansas City Barbecue a good name. The staff greets you with a loud "Hi, How may I help you?" with a bit of attitude and you sense that you better be quick about placing your order.



Famous is their sauce and spices which they sell at the counter.



I placed my order for a burnt end sandwich, large cut fries (I mean large), coleslaw and barbecue beans. That is actually way too much food for one and could be split for two.



Took it to go and ate it at work between taking ups.



The whole thing was delicious.



The ticket was a bit high setting me back $15.
