Gates Bar-B-Q

Michael Ferch

The inside of the restaurant is nostalgic (dated) with an occupancy of 26 in the initial room. Be prepared with your order when you get to the counter, though the staff is very accommodating and understanding of those who are new to ordering from the restaurant. Food: everything has sauce on it and the sauce is spicy. The brisket was tender, but the ribs were dry and crispy. We also had sliced turkey and the burnt ends. We were unaware that the burnt ends came as a sandwich. The fries are steak fries and thick cut. Overall, it wasn’t our speed. However, again, the staff were very friendly, kind, and accommodating.

Beef! Mixed plate, short end, crispy fries, to STAY! Delicious brisket sandwich, great ham!! Tasty short ends! Decent BBQ, 5-8min wait.

The meat is great, but it’s not my favorite BBQ sauce in town. When you get to the restaurant to order there will be one line that goes back past the front door; as you get closer to the front it will split into two going left and right. When you are a few people back from the counter a worker will call out to you and ask what you’re ordering, you only need to tell them the meat at this point, you’ll order your sides drinks and a pie when you get up to the counter (make sure you get a pie, they are awesome). If you are eating there grab a tray, if you are taking it out don’t grab a tray. If you are still back in the single line when they call out what meat you’re ordering, which ever side took that order is the line that you should stick to. This place is really authentic, the food is great, and even when it’s busy the line moves pretty fast. If you live here and you have guest from out of town this is for sure a place that you need to bring them
