The worst BBq I have ever tasted. The meat was either boiled then smoked, or bbq'ed then baked. It was seriously over cooked and extremely greasy. She "Homemade" slaw was terrible. It tasted like shredded cabbage with vinegar. I left this crap on the table for the flies.

best ribs anywhere – We've eaten at both of the renowned Kansas City barbecues (Bryants, Gates). They don't hold a candle to Bates City Barbecue. As luck would have it, we live only a few miles from the place.

Best BBQ ever – It gets better every time I go. This is by far the best barbeque I've ever eaten. This is a dining experience you will greatly enjoy. Warning, the atmosphere is not that of a fine diner, but of a greasy spoon.

GOOD EVERYTHING – NICE people, GREAT SLAW< GREAT FRIES AND BEANS>>>>>GREAT BBQ TOO The BEST place to eat on I-70 between St. Louis and KC. Where do we take international visitors to eat? BATES CITY BBQ Tables fill with whole families of 3 to 4 generations. These farm families living nearby know where to eat. So do the truck drives who travel a half mile off I-70 to get there. Only drawback....no beer. But that's OK.....It's a REAL family environment.
