Re: Tuesday 3/19/24 Harold’s Smokehouse, MO or Rae's Cafe, Independence, MO

We had 15 ROMEOs and 6 bikes at Harold's for lunch on the first day of spring. The day started off pretty chilly but it warmed up for the ride home. As usual the food and service were great. 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 kinda fell down on the job today. I get to Pecan Delight late (only two minutes early) and had some trouble finding a place to park. 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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

We had 28 at POG Brewing Company in Cleveland for lunch today. Our first time here and everyone agreed that it shouldn't be our last. They normally don't serve coffee but at our request they made a pot and kept our cups full. We spent about two hours here today and felt very relaxed and enjoyed our...

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...

[*] This week we are going to do a combined ride to Big Biscuit in Independence, MO. In 2023 we had combined rides on Valentine's Day, 4th of July, and a Christmas dinner. While we all enjoy the smaller North or South weekly get together, it seems that we also enjoy getting together with all the ROM...

Re: Tues 2/6/24 Reynolds Cafe, Garden City, MO or 169 Cafe, Smithville, MO

We had 22 ROMEOs in Garden City today. It was about 50 degrees warmer than 3 weeks ago and we had 14 bikes today! Reynolds did an outstanding job as we tied up their back room for 2+ hours while we visited and enjoyed the companionship this group provides.

Option A this week will be Reynolds Cafe in Garden City, MO. We were last there in April last year. I was out of town and Randy R was hosting--I miss him. Maybe if you come out we can reminisce a bit. Reynolds is always good and treats us well. The are expecting us about 10:00. Weather looks great ...

A lot of the conversation at my table was about upcoming rallies, Red Lodge and Sturgis, and memories from past rallies. The only thing that caught my attention at the other table was keeping an ...

Once I made it, I was surprised to find a table full of ROMEOs, and I was glad I hadn't stayed home. Based on the conversations at the table, I...

No bikes but we had 3 ROMEOs today. Caleb's put us in the back room and took great care of us (we may have been the only customers). We missed you but had great time talking about you since you weren't there. Let's hope the weather is better next week.
