The resturant is old. Has regular customers that keep coming back. Warren Buttet. Established menu that doesn't seem to have changed over the years. I was not impressed. I had a T-bone steak that was quiet thin (less that 3/4 inch). They serve pasta with steaks (?).

Gates actually has several locations in Kansas City. I ate at the Main Street location. Good service, friendly staff, clean resturant. Great ribs served "wet" with sauce. Good flavor, tender and good portions. The smell just takes you away when you enter the resturant. If you weren't hungry before entering, you are once you are inside.

Located not far from the Jazz Museum, this resturant ranks up at the top for goooood barbeque. Ribs are served "dry", no sauce, and just fall off the bone. Sandwiches are big, I mean really big and are served with fries. Pictures on walls indicate that a few famous people have stopped by to get a taste of this barbeque. A MUST stop when in the area.

Kind of an upscale barbeque place. I found the ribs to be alittle dry on one visit, but very good and tender on another. Guest I just came on a bad day. Good atmosphere located in old warehouse with high ceilings.

Very good place to have breakfast when in the lake area. Internet shows it to be in Gravious Mills but I think it's in Laurie. I think they also serve lunch. Reasonable prices, great food and generous servings. Stop in and try it.

This establishment was recommended to me by a sports fisherman. The type that gets up before dawn to catch the "big one." They also get up before dawn so they down have to see what their eating. Prices started at around $10.00 and worked their way up to about $30.00 depending on how much "buffet" you want to try. Sport fishermen sort of eat quantity not quality. This was explained to me by the fisherman who recommended it to me in the first place. There are alot better buffets around. I wouldn't recommend anyone eat here, unless you're a sports fisherman.

We wanted to do a casual dinner and this looked like the place to do it. I had seen an ad is Gourmet magazine and suggested that we stop. The main dining area was full with quiet a wait, so we opted for the deck dining area off the bar. I ordered ribs and found that they were cold and not done on-site. My friend ordered a ceasar salad and it wasn't even close, unless you count the dressing. The only thing we really enjoyed was the view of the lake, approximately 7 miles in both directions. May try it again and see what the main dining area is like.

Neighborhood sports bar. If there are alot of cars in front of the place, stop in and see what's going on. We were looking for a casual spot for an evening meal when we spotted all the cars. We soon found out why. Great atmosphere, great food, reasonable prices and big servings. The grouper on the grouper sandwich does not fit the bun. It hangs over by about 2 inches. During our week stay in Marco Island, we ate there 3 times. The desserts aren't bad either! Stop by and give it a try if your in the area. It can be seen from Bald Eagle Drive.

I have been reading the Doc Ford series of novels by Randy Wayne White. When we went to Florida in January 2005, we heard about the resturant and decided to try it. It's on the corner of Rabbit Road and Sanibel-Captiva Road near the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge. It's kind of a sports bar with the locals in evidence in the evenings and maybe Randy Wayne White himself. The food is great and the mojitos are wonderful. We ate there three times and enjoyed each meal. The conch chowder and the clam chowder were really good and the keylime pie the best of our two week stay in south Florida. I am looking forward to going back again.

This location is kind of a grocery/deli/souvenir establishment. You can stop by for a quick lunch and do your souvenir shopping then get a few things at the grocery store. The meal we had was great. The have daily specials, sandwiches, salads, etc. They also have a good dessert selection. Recommend this establishment for a quick meal while sightseeing.

This is a bar/grill operation with several good items on the menu. Dress is really, really casual and patrons arrive by car and boat as it's on an inlet of the Lake of the Ozarks. Local blues bands entertain patrons on the outdoor covered patio. Great place to just kick back and relax listening to some good music.

This establishment comes up at Gravois Mills on internet seach, but I think it's in Laurie. Great place to have breakfast in the lake area. Generous portions and reasonable price. I believe they also serve lunch. We only did breakfast. Really good food.
