Tues 4/30/24 Ginger Sue's in Olathe, KS or Catricks' Cafe in Lawson, MO

Option A this week is a new restaurant for the South KC ROMEOs, Ginger Sue's in Olathe. The North KC ROMEOs went to Ginger Sue's in Liberty a couple of weeks ago and I saw they had an Olathe location. Breakfast or lunch. I told them we would schedule for 11:00 but some of us might show up earlier f...

Re: Tues 4/23/24 Rsstic Duck in Appleton City, MO or Chops BBQ in Smithville, MO

We had 25 +/- ROMEOs and nearly as many bikes in Appleton City today. Our day started off at Zink Motors with a tour conducted by Jeff or Stephen Cross. We were enlightened on the intricacies of operating the Model T, learned that auto owners only used their cars to go out of town and kept them in ...

Re: Tues 4/16/2024 Snead's BBQ, Belton, MO or Roxanne's Cafe in Platte City, MO

There were 8 ROMEOs at Snead's this morning. 2 riders, both were a little damp. Food and service were great as usual. We also had a great time visiting and learned that spoonbills and koi do not tolerate cholorine. It was a very enjoyable morning. Ride home was a little windy. Apologies to Jim--did...

Option A this week is a long time ROMEO favorite, Snead's BBQ in Belton, MO. We were last there in December and it's time to return. Weather looks good, maybe a little windy. I told them we will be there when they open the doors at 11:00. It's good to be back and I hope to see you all there. Snead'...

Tues 4/9/2024 Reynolds Cafe, Garden City, MO or Ginger Sue's in Liberty, MO

Option A this week is Reynolds Cafe in Garden City. I told them we'd be there around 10:30. The weather is supposed to be a little warmer with a slight chance of rain.

Re: Tues 4/2/2024 Big Creek Cafe, Pleasant Hill, MO or Dearborn Cafe, Dearborn, MO

We had 12 ROMEOs at Big Creek this morning. It was a chilly and damp morning and we all opted for 4 wheels. Kenny and I arrived three minutes early and were assigned to the tardy table. Food and service were good and we had a great time visiting. As we were lined up at the register, I noticed a cou...

Tues 4/2/2024 Big Creek Cafe, Pleasant Hill, MO or Dearborn Cafe, Dearborn, MO

Option A this week is a ROMEO favorite, Big Creek Cafe in Pleasant Hill, MO. We haven't been here since August. They will be expecting us around 10. I'm looking at a weather forecast that includes a 30% chance of rain, early. I guess that would be an April shower. 2, 3, or 4 wheels I hope to see yo...

Re: Tues 3/26/24 Roscoe's, Edwardsville, KS or Big Biscuit, KCMO

We had 20 ROMEO's at Roscoe's for lunch. With the cold weather and some snow flurries, I decided to leave the bike parked and so did everyone else. I was a little worried about order and pickup one at time at a counter but it worked pretty smooth and fairly fast. The young lady calling out the orde...

Our waitress was on maternity leave so her mom called her in to help out! Now that's a perfect example of a ...

Re: Tuesday 3/12/24 Byrd’s Pecan Delights in Adrian or Ten Penny in Leavenworth

I visited with a couple of other late arrivals then took pictures of all the bikes outside. The place was full when I entered and I walked around saying hi to peopl...

Re: Tuesday 3/5/24 El Potro Mexican Cafe in Louisburg, KS. or Wabash BBQ, Excelsior Springs, MO

By my count we had 25 ROMEOS and 19 bikes at El Potro in Louisburg for lunch on a chilly morning. My count is pretty close but I may have missed someone. The food was great as was the service. We pretty well filled up the dining room and most of us sat at tables for 2 or 4 but it looked like everyo...

I was late for lunch at Amsterdam Cafe this morning and Loud tells me my excuses are unacceptable so I won't burden you with them. However, the consequences are that I didn't get a count of how many ROMEOs or bikes were there. Some had left before I got there but we probably totaled 30 or so. As us...

Re: Tue 2/27/24 Amsterdam Cafe, Amsterdam, MO or Dino's Diner, Cameron, MO

I responded via email directly to Dave addressing his specific questions but I would like to address the basic ROMEO philosophy for newcomers. This quote for Jerry (our webmaster) from the Nov 2008 post announcing the KC ROMEOs sums it up nicely: " No rules, no organization, no dues - we will j...

Option A this week is Amsterdam Cafe, one of our favorite ROMEO spots. I don't really believe it, but the current forecast is for a high of 78 on Tuesday! I have scheduled for lunch at 11:00 but of course Amsterdam will serve you whenever you arrive. It will be great to get back here. We haven't be...

Tues 2/20/24 POG Brewing, Cleveland, MO or Conrad's Kitchen & Patio in Kearney, MO

Option A this week is a new place for us, the POB Brewing Company in Cleveland, MO. It comes highly recommended as a good place for casual dining. The owner said the doors open at 11:00 but it would be best if we showed up around 11:30--so let's say 11:30 this time. The weather forecast says it wil...
