ROMEOS

Option A this week is an old favorite Romeo spot. The Whistle Stop in Osawatomie has been a place we have visited many times over the past 10 years, and they are always glad to have us back. Last visit was about a year ago so time we went back. They open early and serve breakfast until 11:00 then l...

We had a great crowd of about 26 ROMEOs with just enough room left over for a table of Pleasant Valley FD/EMTs. Temp was in the high 60s when I left the house. Doesn't get any better for August. We kinda overloaded the restaurant but they served ME quick and everybody else eventually got fed. Lots ...

Option A this week is a ROMEO favorite, Big Creek Cafe in Pleasant Hill, MO. We haven't been here since January so it's time to get back. 9:30 seems like good time. I might have told them 9 or I might have told them 10. I know it doesn't make much difference to you, and they probably know that too,...

We had 20 at Pegah's today. It was a nice day if you didn't mind a little drizzle now and then, and some heavier rain south and east of town. We were spread out a little in the restaurant but that didn't keep us from moving around and visiting. It was a nice cool day for August and as we left we vi...

Option A this week is Pegah's in Shawnee. This is the Pegah's on K-7 (located on the northeast corner of K-7 and Johnson Drive in Shawnee at the north end of the strip mall.) We were last here a year ago and the food and service were excellent. It's supposed to be hot Tuesday so let's show up about...

We had 14 this morning at Mary Jane's. We were split up between a couple of tables but everyone seemed to be having a good time. Food and service were great. It was good to see Loud out of the hospital for a bit and planning a trip to Vegas. Junior was back on the bike today and he is getting ready...

We had 19 at Snead's for lunch. Shortly after we were seated it started raining but stopped as we got ready to leave--perfect timing. Lots of talk about the weekend storms and Slina had pictures of tennis ball+ size hail stones that had hit her sister's house and the damage as they came through the...

Option A this week is Snead's BBQ in Belton. I needn't say more--this is a ROMEO favorite. Snead's opens at 11:00 for lunch. I hope to see you there.

We had 19 at the Ranch Cafe this morning. As expected, we had to pay for our own meals. Food and service were fantastic and my coffee cup was never close to empty. We had a great time visiting and met Lonnie from Arkansas. At one table, there was some in-depth planning going on for an August ride t...

Option A this week is a restaurant that opened this spring, Nico & Ana's, Italian Street Food and comes highly recommended by one of our ROMEOs. Their website says they open at 11:00 but the sign on the front door said they open at 10:30am. I told them we would show up at 10:30am. It's well mar...

I counted 22 at Mama's Kitchen this morning by 10 but as I was leaving at least 6 more walked in. I was in a bit of a rush this morning so I cut the visiting short and, as you will note, the photos suffered too. The good news is made it to Austin TX by 10pm. Thanks for putting up with me. Mama'sKit...

Option A this week is Mama’s Kitchen in Archie, MO. We have been here before and the food and service were always good. They open early and serve breakfast until 11:00 then lunch after 11:00. 10:00 sounds like a good time to me. Hope to see you there. Mama's Kitchen 2.JPG Mama’s Kitchen 404 SW Oute...

07/04/23 Harold’s Smokehouse, Freeman, MO. The Fourth of July falls on a Tuesday. To celebrate we plan to do a combined ride. Harold’s Smokehouse in Freeman, MO, has agreed to host us. We know it is a family picnic type of day and a workers’ holiday. Some of our ROMEOs said they couldn’t be out on ...

We had 33 ROMEOs at K&M BBQ today. Food and service were great, with many favorable comments on the BBQ ribs. They gave us a room and we filled it up. It was great to visit with everybody and I hung around the parking lot until close to 1pm and then scouted out a new restaurant on the way home....

We had 25 ROMEOs at Rock Island Cafe on a perfect riding day. Service and food were outstanding and I got personalized service when the waitress was told that I got cranky if I didn't get my coffee fast. It was homecoming for Jay--he went to 2nd grade at the school across the street from the cafe. ...

We had seven ROMEOs at Caleb's for breakfast this morning. It was a little moist and cool this morning. Also, many ROMEOs went to Arkansas yesterday. We had an enjoyable breakfast and then Mick and I took off for Eureka Springs and the Rendezvous.

Option A this week is Caleb's Breakfast and Lunch, KCMO. When we were last here at the end of January it was too cold for motorcycles. Forecasters say high of 77 this Tuesday, much better! I told them we would show up around 10:00. Red Bridge road is still under construction so Holmes provides the ...

We had 29 ROMEOs in Amsterdam this morning. After the usual great food and service, most of us had a nice 20+ mile ride through the Missouri countryside to Butler where we were joined by a LOT more ROMEOs for Randy's service. We were well represented--there were too many for me to count. It was a n...

This afternoon I received word that Randy Roberts, Kansas City Ride Coordinator, passed away today (May 3) while returning from a ROMEO lunch in Paola. It's hard to imagine that any ROMEO wouldn't know Randy and consider him a friend. He was a stalwart of our community and seldom missed a ROMEO lun...

We had 30 ROMEOs show up at JT's Grill for lunch. We had a great time visiting and telling stories. Service and food were good although they were expecting 15-20 so were a bit overwhelmed when we filled the dining room. I have to apologize again . I remembered to take pictures. I must have taken 10...
