I drove by last weekend. There was a chain link fence up around it and it looked like they hadn't touched a thing.

I'm assuming waiting on insurance. They'll rebuild, too much money there to turn down. As much as people hate to admit, it's now a chain.

Gates doesn't suck. Don't be dumb. There are many cities where Gates would be the best BBQ joint in town. It's clearly not the best in KC. But KC is spoiled with some of the best BBQ in the country.

Bryant's was shut down in 2013 for their violations. That one was pretty bad. |

A good friend of mine's business is literally right next door. He said he heard the insurance hadn't settled yet, and as soon as it does, the re-building will kick in. Ollie makes a shit ton off that location, and he doesn't want to miss out on the entire baseball season.

The original smoking pit was undamaged, because, hey, fire is not going to hurt a BBQ pit. So when they finally re-build, it will be literally around the original BBQ pit.

Their insurance provider must be thrilled to have them as a customer.
KC Star 4-24-2015 Fire damages roof of Gates Bar-B-Q in Kansas City An early morning fire on Friday damaged the roof of a Gates Bar-B-Q Restaurant in Kansas City. The fire is believed to have started in the ventilation system of the restaurant at 12th Street and Brooklyn Avenue, according to media reports. The fire eventually ignited part of the roof. The extent of the damage was not immediately available, however that location was expected to be closed Friday, according to media reports. This is the fourth fire at a Gates Bar-B-Q restaurant in about as many years. In late 2011, a fire damaged the restaurant at 2001 W. 103rd Terrace in Leawood. On June 19, 2013, an overnight fire heavily damaged the Gates restaurant at North 10th Street and State Avenue in Kansas City, Kan. The fire was confined to the smoke stack and attic area. It caused an estimated $100,000 in damages. And in February, a fast-moving blaze destroyed the Gates restaurant at 10440 E. U.S. 40 in Independence. A worker was cleaning the fire pit when the fire started in the exhaust system duct work above a grill and quickly spread throughout the building. |
