Lunch 11AM, Sept. 24, Smoked Creations BBQ, Ottawa, Kansas

Post by schoolmaster »

I've been hearing good reports about this restaurant so I decided to check it out on my way home from the Fall Rendezvous, and it really lived up to its reputation. I think you'll really like the wide selection with absolutely FABULOUS brisket sandwiches on a slider bun for as little as $2.99! Or if the loaded baked potato that's as big as Bucky's head covered with your choice of meat or a BBQ Burrito suits your fancy, then this is your place! They open for lunch at 11, but Jeremy said if you got there a little early he'd let you in to eat!! They have lots of seating with a really cool covered outdoor deck with an absolutely gorgeous view of Hwy 68, so if you get there early you can watch your buddies show up on their best rides and glide into the parking lot to cheers and applause.[attachment=2]DSCN4060.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN4062.JPG[/attachment]

So show up before lunch at 11 AM at:

Smoked Creations BBQ
222 E. Logan (near the intersection of old Hwy 59 and K-68)
Ottawa, Kansas
785-242-4227

Thanks to the generosity of ROMEOS both at Eastern Kansas rides and ROMEOS that attended the Fall Rendezvous, we will be donating in excess of $220 to the two funds designated by the family to honor the memory of our friend Harold Eulert. Thank you to all of you who contributed. See you on Wednesday.

All Romeo rides can be accessed from the following link:

Wednesday seems to stand for "Rainy Day" in ROMEO world as it seems like that's been the way it is the last few weeks. And today was no exception. But it didn't stop 25 ROMEOS, the majority on motorcycles, from making the trek to Smoked Creations in Ottawa today for some outstanding "Q" and quality conversation! Afterwards, people lingered in true ROMEO style in small groups both inside and also outside on the deck.[attachment=18]DSCN4063.JPG[/attachment][attachment=17]DSCN4064.JPG[/attachment][attachment=16]DSCN4065.JPG[/attachment][attachment=15]DSCN4066.JPG[/attachment][attachment=14]DSCN4067.JPG[/attachment][attachment=13]DSCN4069.JPG[/attachment][attachment=12]DSCN4070.JPG[/attachment][attachment=11]DSCN4071.JPG[/attachment][attachment=10]DSCN4072.JPG[/attachment][attachment=9]DSCN4073.JPG[/attachment][attachment=8]DSCN4074.JPG[/attachment][attachment=7]DSCN4075.JPG[/attachment][attachment=6]DSCN4076.JPG[/attachment][attachment=5]DSCN4077.JPG[/attachment][attachment=4]DSCN4078.JPG[/attachment][attachment=3]DSCN4079.JPG[/attachment][attachment=2]DSCN4080.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN4081.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]DSCN4082.JPG[/attachment]
Here's hoping that October Wednesdays will bring great riding weather. Since my wife and I will be spending a couple of weeks on the east coast in October, Swanee will be organizing the next two or three rides and I know he will pick some great places. Linda has also agreed to take some pictures and provide ride reports for the next couple of weeks. It turned out to be another great day to be a ROMEO!!

The sign said "no smoking on the patio", but apparently that didn't apply to "below" the patio.

The hard working staff came in early this morning just to take care of us.  They did a great job.

This server survived waiting on Harry and still had a smile on her face.  This was not her first rodeo as she chose not to see the rock in Harry's pocket.

This is a special "shout-out" to James Wright who has to be one of the original "good guys".  This will be James' last official ROMEO ride as he will be moving back to North Carolina next week.  James, you will be missed.

Welcome to Bernie who lives in Olathe.  He arrived a little late, but he still got to eat lunch. He and his wife just returned from an 8 week trip to Alaska.  We hope Bernie can be a regular addition to Eastern Kansas rides.

A view from the deck overlooking Hwy 68, the dike protecting the city from the unruly Marais des Cygne river, and beautiful downtown Ottawa.  Actually downtown Ottawa is quite scenic with many quaint small businesses, flower beds, and a historic old courthouse.
