Did you have a bad experience, just get "bad vibes" in the place, etc.? I've heard good comments about this place and not had any problems myself, so I'm curious.

I live 15 miles from there on the Katy and ride up every few weeks. The young guys are friendly as are almost all the customers. Seems like there always has to be one or two that feel the need to be hateful to show they're real men. You know, morons

I was at this market twice last week, the attendant was not overly friendly, but perfectly competent, made a nice sandwich. They stock a nice variety of foods, and are open more hours and days than many businesses on the trail.

I agree with bentcruiser. We were there last week the lady made a sandwich that was adequate. The regulars looked at us as though we were from another planet. The owner definitely didn't want to be bothered.

I love stopping by the Mokane market. It has a true rural small town atmosphere! Local farmers and ranchers congregate in the early mornings. It truly is a heart of America kind of place. The food is good, fresh and wholesome too.

Great bike ride and quite an enjoyable nature experience. However a lack of friendliness in the area puts a damper on things.

Me & my son, Quinn had a very good experience at this market. The young man behind the counter was very nice and polite, & waited on us promptly after behind on the trail for 10 hours. He even offered to lock our bikes up behind the store so we could walk down to the local fair that was taking place in town that weekend. 9/2/06

Our experience at the market was a good one. The place is definately small town but isn't that part of the beauty? We move some of the toys that were on the table and made ourselves at home. It so happened the owner was putting up a display near by and we had quite a chat about the history of the neighborhood.

Jim's Bar and Grill (Tebbetts)
- + I could not find a Turner's Store (Sept 16, 2004) and it would be pretty hard to miss anything in Tebbetts. However, there was a Jim's Bar and Grill across the street from Turner's Katy Trail Shelter...

Alas, Turner's store is long gone. It closed after Mrs Turner died in 2001 or 2002. Jim's Bar & Grill is in the same building that the Turner Store was in. The building sat empty for one season and there was nothing to eat in Tebbetts. I was sure glad to see Jim's open for business!

Stayed at the shelter next door twice this year and ate at Jim's both times. He has a pretty good pizza too.

The shelter is very nice and convenient. We had a nice time at Jim's next door. We had a chicken alfredo pizza there that wasn't too bad either. A very nice break. Just right.

We stumbled upon Jim's after riding for several miles without water. We were thirsty and hot and on the edge of miserable, then we walked into Jim's about 1:00 pm on a Sunday in June. There were several men in overalls jamming. It was a great time. We forgot we were hot and tired and thirsty and had a great time. The man working filled my waterbottle with ice and water and offered us the Katy Trail book to sign. That stop was one of our highlights of our ride.

I was so sorry to learn that Turner's Store no longer exists, but thankful that a business has opened there. Tebbetts is one of my favorite places. We lived there when the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant under construction and my husband worked as a start-up engineer. Mrs. Turner was so nice to me on my first visit to her store and we became great friends. She was a fine lady who loved antiques and had so many stories to tell. I would go down to see her just about every day. Tebbetts was a wonderful community, we liked all the people we met. Mary Autenreith was the post mistress and my son rented a little house from her husband, Sonny. I guess what amazed me most about was the wonderful soil. Everything you planted, flowers and vegetables would flourish because the soil was so rich. Often I think about the people there and wonder if they or any of their families are still in the area. If anyone is passing through please ask about these people and what happened to them. For sure, if I ever get a chance I will go back to Tebbetts and stop by Jim's Barr and Grilll just to see what's going on.

We visited Jim's Bar and Grill last week on a rainy day of our five day trip. It turned out for both families to be a highlight. The food was good (especially the pizza) and he made us feel welcome and talked to the kids and gave us some history of the store etc. We were glad we stopped in this little town.

I stopped by Jim's on the third night of my five-day ride. It was a Friday and I had the shelter
next door to myself. Pizza was good, beer was cold and the karaoke--every Friday night
apparently--was exceptional. A nice slice of Missouri for the city boy to enjoy.

A delightful ride among quiet nature and scenic views. The friendliness of people in the area only enhances the overall experience.

Stopped at Jim's Bar & Grill and the first thought off the top of my mind was Whistle Stop from the movie Fried Green Tomatos. Went inside, very nice guy...bought a couple of sodas and a candy bar, also took a couple pictures with the vintage model T someone had restored. unfortunatly, we couldnt stay long because we had to get back on the trail.
