Gates Bar.B.Q.

Gates Bar-B-Q is one of two Kansas City, Missouri restaurants that traces its roots back to Henry Perry, the founder of the Kansas City barbecue. The other restaurant is Arthur Bryant's located at 1727 Brooklyn.

Founded

Gates Bar-B-Q is a Kansas City original family restaurant that started in 1946. It has grown from a single store front at 19th & Vine to a family of six up-to-date restaurants throughout the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. The same neighborhood that saw the rise of the famous Henry Perry restaurant as well as the 18th & Vine Jazz District. Gates was founded by George and Arzelia Gates, their three children (Winnifred, Gwendolyn and Ollie), and the cook, Arthur Pinkard. Pinkard had been a cook for Perry.

Present

It is bigger than Arthur Bryant's, in terms of branches, as it has six restaurants scattered throughout Kansas City. Gates restaurants are easily marked by their unique red roof design and sauce bottles with the "man in full tuxedo top hat" logo. Customers are greeted almost as soon as they walk through the doors with the question, "Hi, may I help you?" The restaurant says its staff is trained at Gates College of Bar-B-Que Knowledge, better known as Rib Tech. The Gates Bar-B-Q headquarters are located at 4621 Paseo.
