Yelp.com Review - by Jonathan W.

1.0 of 5 stars. I've been to Bates City on several occasions over the years, and it's always the same, unfortunately. It smells good, and that's the end of it. The meat is just O.K. and that's isn't good enough for...

Yelp.com Review - by Steven M.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place has two advantages: 1) it is close to my home; 2) the food is decent. Before I went on a diet, I actually ate here often. Barbecue is now a rarity for me, so decent is not good enough.The...

Yelp.com Review - by Robin H.

4.0 of 5 stars. Stop #4 on the KC BBQ quest and highly recommended - I can see why. Bates City is located in a semi-abandoned strip mall, from the outside it is not really trendy and it proclaims that it is...

Excellent Bar-B-Que

One day I pulled in the parking lot to order a pizza from Wheat State next door. The smell of Bates steered me in their direction instead. I was pleasantly surprised by how good their ribs are; especially for the price. The fries are great as well. I still like my Oklahoma Joes, but this place easily beats out Zarda, Gates, Smokin Joe's and many other joints in town. Probably the only downside is they don't have onion rings.

Best Fries in KC

This all-American, hometown BBQ restaurant has, bar none, the best fries in the metroplex. They are much better than they look - trust me. My wife and I are on low-carb diets, so fries are forbidden, however,...
