| Comments: | This ma and pa restaurant is amazing! Beef, ham, and turkey smoked sandwiches available. Ribs are out of this world, but the most unique item are the French fries. Fries are never frozen and cut right before your eyes. I have eaten at most BBQ places in KC, but this one is my favorite and defiantly worth the drive. Oh, and if you want to know where they get their meat just look out back, restaurant comes complete with a pasture cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys! Banquet seating is also available. |

| Comments: | We switched to Bates City Barbeque to do our annual neighborhood watch picnics for the price, quality and friendly service. These people went beyond themselves to accomodate us. The food was excellent. This place is my new personal favorite, as well as our first choice for catered items. Thanks Bates City! |
