we had decent food. There was only 1 server on a friday night which was not great. We were there for my birthday and as a going away dinner for my husband who was leaving for the Air Force and the manager told us they needed the table for another party and asked us to either move to the smoking section (GROSS) or to leave! I was seriously offended and will not go there again. That was a horrible way to treat anyone, muchless a military family! Do not patronize this business, you may be prematurely asked to leave so that they can make more money!

We enjoyed the food and the service. In fact took our friends back and they said the same. Perhaps you got ahold of someone having a bad day.



We have been back often and enjoy the experience. You may want to give them another try.

 
Jamie A from St Louis on 03/29/2005 10:13 PM
I visted RT Weilers and thought it was nice. I guess everyone can have a bad experience somewhere but I have been there a couple of times and though the service was not really fast the place was packed for a reason because the server was very friendly and the food was good.

 
Michael Fox from St. Charles on 08/29/2005 03:34 PM
I have met the owner personally on main street while in downtown St. Charles. I had been to the restaurant before and enjoyed the food. The owner was very friendly and interested in my opinion of the restaurant once I had told him that I had been there before. The service was fast, the drink menu was one of the best I have found on main street, and the nachos are excellent. I'll go back.

 
M.S. on 10/24/2005 03:15 PM
I was in RT Weiler's over the weekend- good bands, horrible service- the bartender (later identified herself as one of the owners) was rude to us, and even worse, downright nasty to some of the employees. We will never go back.

 
Anonymous from St Louis, MO on 11/07/2005 10:53 AM
My husband and I have been to R T Weilers many times. We have found that, except for one exception, the servers and bartenders are very nice. We understand that since Main Street in St Charles is an experience in itself, we don't mind when the service is a bit slower. It's not a "fast food joint". The owner is very nice and is sincerely trying to make the experience unique. The bands they have are great ! If you go understanding that it is a unique establishment in a unique community, you will very much enjoy yourself.

 
John P from St. Charles on 11/15/2005 08:33 AM
Lookin for a night out throughout the week? This is the place to go. Tuesday nights they have karaoke and Thursday nights with Dj Dreams along with E2TS (Ear 2 The Streets)spinnin all night long. They always have some type of drink special.

 
mr on 12/20/2005 06:02 PM
best food and service we ever had!!! BBQ and pizza are to die for and the homemade carrot cake amazing!!!! five stars***** We eat there twice a week and love it.

 
Ava from St. Charles on 03/13/2006 02:54 PM
I work nearby and eat at RT's twice a week. I love thier chicken salad sandwich and thier Philly steak Sandwich. I have been there for dinner, it is all wonderfull!!!! ALWAYS great service.

I have not rode the KATY yet, but am planning a trip. I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere along the trail that you can access the river and maybe drop a line in for a nice hour break. I am also looking for suggestions on a good 2 day ride for a novice rider while still being pretty scenic (i am in good shape, its just been a while since i've been on the bike). Thanks for any comments.

 
frank from festus, mo on 03/07/2006 10:54 PM
ryan, you actually cross the river at boonville on the katy. don't know if fishing is allowed any where around that area or not. between rocheport and hartsburg is some river accesses, also at coopers landing which is between mcbaine and hartsburg. there is also river access at klondike which is just east of augusta a mile or so. better check with the state park system bouts fishing along the trail. depending on how far you want to go, i think rocheport east is the prettiest ride. since your from st. peters, get on at st. charles or even at defiance and just start ridin. the entire trail is gorgeous. any which way you chose, happy bikin.

 
Ken K from St. Charles on 03/08/2006 05:09 AM
At the Weldon Spring trailhead, you can ride down a gravel road that takes you to the boat ramp at the Weldon Spring access. I've seen people fishing from the bank there before.



Also, there's pretty easy access to the river where the trail passes under the Boone Bridge.



Between McBaine & Hartsburg, there are a couple of spots where you could get easy access to the bank for fishing. At these points the trail is right along the river.

 
guest on 03/09/2006 08:25 AM
Just north/east of the Weldon Spring area, underneath the Hwy 40/64 bridge is a great spot for fishing. It's just off the trail. There is a 'pool' area that seems very active with fish.

Hi, where can I securely park my car in St Charles while I ride the 2006 Catch the Katy until my return on the evening of the 23rd?



Also, would camping be allowed back in St Charles the evening/night of the 23rd so that I do not have to hit the road immediately after arriving back at the trail head?



For that matter, would I be able to camp in St Charles on Saturday the 17th if I decide to arrive a day early?



Thanks,



Spoon

I beleive the State got a special use permit that only allows camping in Frontier Park on the Sunday night before the ride. There are lots of other lodging options available and there is an RV park just off the trail in St. Charles that may allow tent camping. As for secure parking, the state has an agreement with the City that allows for parking during the ride near the boathouse in St. Charles.

I am a first time rider looking for advice. We are looking to ride out of St. Charles and hopefully be on the trail for 3 days. What is a reasonable distance to ride in a day- I was thinking 30-35 miles (we are in pretty good shape). Any suggestions on place to stay, stop, or visit? Is it best to ride out and back, or ride out and take the train or shuttle back. Thanks for any help you can provide.

 
John from West Plains on 02/23/2006 09:45 AM
If you are in pretty good shape, you might consider riding further than 30 miles. I rode with a group of guys that were not in good shape and we rode 40 the first day of our trip. We are going again and this time we are doing 50 the first day. You might get a little sore in the seat, but you will be fine. As for places to stay, if you make it far enough, check out the Globe Hotel in Hartsburg...Great muffins!

 
TRinJboro from Jonesboro, AR on 02/23/2006 11:56 AM
Depends on your goal. If you are wanting to relax and enjoy the trail, 30-35 is probably about right. I've gone as far as 80 miles in a day, but that gives you little time to see the interesting sights. If you want to catch the Amtrack back, then Jefferson City is your last stop going west prior to Sedelia. It's 104 miles from St. Charles. If you do this, then I would suggest you consider B & B's in Marthasville, and Bluffton for your lodging. If you want to go farther each day, then I would consider staying in McKittrick/Hermann the first night, then Hartsburg the second. Hermann is an old German town with interesting sights. Hartsburg has a very good B & B (Globe Hotel) and a neat bike shop. You can then get up the 3rd day and bike back to Jefferson City and catch the train back to St. Charles. Good luck, you will love the KATY !

 
Jarred from Florissant on 02/23/2006 12:07 PM
Just wandering how much time you are willing to devote to the ride?? Me and a group are going to ride the whole trail out and back in late july-early august. Were planning about an 8 day trip. Thats between 40- 50 miles a day. If your willing to ride out and back you are welcome to join us. This will be a first time ride for us as well on the entire Katy trail


 
frank from festus, mo on 02/23/2006 06:42 PM
you may want to also contact the businesses along the trail to find out their hours of business and the days they are open. that might give you a little better insight into how far each day you want to ride. main thing is be safe, have fun, and enjoy the katy.

MaBell from Overland Park, KS on 03/05/2006 11:24 PM
If you're in pretty good shape, I think you're going to want to keep going after 30 miles; it's such a great trail, easy to ride, and with great scenery. You can easily cover 10 miles an hour. The first day I rode the KATY was 63 miles - I didn't work terribly hard, stopped for 30 minute lunch and a few other short stops and a side trip, and was on the trail from about 8:00-4:00. Have fun - you'll love it!

Each year we visit family in MO the last week of June. We try to plan fun side trips and I just heard about the KATY. We have three nights and two full days for our ride, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations as to the best portion of the trail to ride. We will have to rent bikes, stay in hotels and get a return shuttle, so services are important. We bike and are in decent shape but want to enjoy the scenery and towns (and we worry about the humidity) - so we're thinking 40-60 miles.

 
frank from festus, mo on 02/20/2006 10:38 PM
carol, personally, i think rocheport east is the prettiest route. i've been as far as no. jefferson trail head from rocheport. as far as services go, check with the trail side cafe and bike rental at rocheport, as well as cycle depot at hartsburg. otherwise, check with all the businesses along the route for their hours and services. also have read numerous times on this forum about dotys cafe in hartsburg as well as the globe hotel in hartsburg and how great they are. other than that, enjoy the ride and be safe.

 
TRinJboro from Jonesboro, AR on 02/21/2006 12:07 PM
I totally agree with Frank. I've biked almost the entire trail and Rocheport east is by far the most scenic. The bike shop there is also a good place to rent bikes. Depending on how far you want to go each day, for a short ride (25 miles), I would bike to Hartsburg, spend the night there and then bike back. For a longer ride (47 miles), I would go to Tebbetts where there is a hostel type shelter with bunk beds and spend the night there. The cost to spend the night there is only $5.00 per person. Good luck, you'll love the KATY !!

 
Mark of the Dalton Boys from Austin, TX/Columbia, MO. on 02/22/2006 07:32 AM

Clint Thompson from Moberly on 03/01/2006 04:11 PM
I agree with Frank. That is the coolest section of the trail that I have been on. Another great section is between Defiance and Marthasville. Augusta is a great town to go through.

 
kasko from STL MO on 03/03/2006 01:01 PM
Do contact Katy Trail office and request info packet.

 
MaBell from Overland Park, KS on 03/05/2006 11:11 PM
Carol, 40-60 miles is a good trip for the day -the KATY is a relatively easy ride - but the heat will be a problem. It can be close to 90-100 in the mid-afternoon, and you're not going to want to be finishing up 60 miles that time of day. We did a 57 miler on a hot June day, and there was no stopping to enjoy - we kept plowing forward because it was so hot we just wanted to get done. If you really want to enjoy the towns and the scenery, you might want to plan to find cool places to hang out in the afternoons, and do most of your riding before lunch (start early in the a.m. - it's a beautiful time of day on the trail), and after dinner. Have fun!

I met a lovely waitress named Kim who was so charming that on the last day of my visit I returned to Talayna's to talk with her. I haven't been back since November but I hope she's still there. So, if you happen to see Kim, please tell her that guy from Cleveland hasn't forgotten her lovely smile and hopes to say hello on his next visit. And feel free to give her my e-mail address if she'd care to write. I'd love to hear from her.

Best as far as I am concerned is to take AMTRAK from St Louis to Jeff City. You can board downtown StL or at Kirkwood station.

Since modern trains do not have baggage cars Amtrak has made allowances to allow you to bring bike onto train. It may be good idea to arrange/check it out with them when you buy ticket.

DNR is the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the agency that runs the Katy Trail. Every June they sponsor an organized ride from one end of the trail to the other, over the course of 5 days (June 19-23 this year). They accommodate up to 300 riders. You can find details at this link.

Looking to catch a ride down on Sunday the 18th and back up on Saturday the 24th - from somewhere around Cedar Rapids IA. I can be a little flexible on this, if someone was within an hour or two drive from CR. Of course, I would split the cost of gas.

frank from festus, mo on 02/17/2006 12:15 PM
john, i have a raleigh bike wtih 1'--1 1/2 wide knobby tires. i have rode the KATY numerous times, short trips that is (10-30 miles), but have put on probably couple - three hundred miles. not one problem. personally, i don't think you will have any problems. have fun, thats the main thing. good luck. enjoy the trip.

 
Austin from Longmont, CO on 02/17/2006 11:13 PM
As long as it's dry, you should be fine, I rode my Trek 2200 100 miles last summer without any problems. I used 700x25 tires. If there has been much rain lately and the trail is soft, you might want something with wider tires.

 
TRinJboro from Jonesboro, AR on 02/21/2006 12:18 PM
I agree with Austin, I've rode my Trek 510 Road bike many times on the KATY without problems. However, my bike is old, and these were all times the trail was dry. If your luck doesn't hold and it rains for 2 or 3 days, the trail gets mushy and your small tires will sink in. Also, if you bought a new Trek 2100 I don't think I would want to ride a new bike on the KATY. The surface tends to be a little dusty when dry and it will cover your bike and chain with a fine white dust that is hard on it.

 
Big Rick from St. Charles, Mo. on 02/22/2006 05:46 PM
The lime dust washed off just fine in my experience. Also, a couple of the shops along the trial sell a nice chain lube that will help keep your gears and sprokets in good order. I'll post later tongiht when I get home and I can get the name off of the bottle.

I have ridden the katy many times on a old road bike The trail is generally very good

surface for a not paved trail. 90% of what you see will be mountain bikes. This is like

driving a big SUV in the city.... hybrid would be best but the importain thing is to ride...

I agree with all above. Ben riding Katy since it opened on my 700x1.25 no problem This year riding entire trail will use a hybrid with wider tire.

White dust is nuisance but it washes off. I wash it once at least every 3 years.

If you are looking for a winter ride with a delicious $6 breakfast ride the Katy to Schell Road near Mile 68 in Augusta. Going east that will be a left onto a blacktop steep hill. You may have to push your bike up this one then ride the rolling hills and sharp curves to Hwy. 94. Turn right on Hwy. 94 and about 500 ft. down the hill is the Immaculate Conception Church. The next breakfast will be Feb. 26, all you can eat: sausage, ham, eggs, pancakes, apples, juice, coffee -what a treat!

Not another biker was on the trail today but we did see a mink cross the trail

I beg to differ....have traveled to St. Charles on numerous occasions and have dined at Trailhead many times. I have been extremely satisfied with the quality of food and service on every occasion. Don't miss it if you have a chance to go....I'm a tourist but never felt that way while there.

I have always had a great experience at the Trailhead Brewing Co. I belong to a club who regularly cycles the Katy Trail, with the TBC being our destination. Wonderful food, great staff!! Never a bad experience!

I've been to the Trailhead Brewery on many occasions. The food and service were always wonderful. The only time I ever had trouble was when I went in wearing the tank top I was wearing on my ride that day. I gladly bought one of their t-shirts and had a wonderful meal before heading home.
