Mark and Leaia at the Globe Hotel Bed and Breakfast are thrilled to have 35th on Main in Hartsburg!
JJ Gang from Kearney MO on 09/13/2018 03:44 PM:
This sounds good but we will be passing through on a Tuesday. Are there other places to eat in Hartsburg?
Allen from Shawnee on 09/15/2018 03:15 PM:
My recollection is the bar in town serves small sized pizza that is frozen then microwaved. There are restaurants in Jefferson City, there is a restaurant at the airport in North Jefferson that closes at 2 pm. Coopers landing just west of Hartsburg has microwave able stuff and sometimes they have a pot of something cooked up, they also have a Thai restaurant some days and hours.
Have a good trip

There used to be a restaurant at the golf course by the North Jefferson City trailhead that got good reviews. I am not sure if it is still operating.
I am so glad to hear Hartsburg has another restaurant to fill the void left by Dottie's. And thank you Dottie for carrying the torch for as long as you did. I loved your food and friendship.

The food here is awesome. We have visited on our bikes twice already and will be making many more trips.

Brad Scroggs from Jefferson City on 08/29/2018 09:41 AM:
Hooray! The previous owners of the Hartsburg Grand Restaurant -- before it became an events center -- are opening a new restaurant at the old Dotty's location: 35th on Main. I am so looking forward to my rides from Jefferson City for delicious flatbreads, etc., a glass of wine or a cold beer. Check it out.
Eber Haus Inn Hartsburg from Hartsburg on 08/29/2018 10:49 AM:
I believe opening day is tenative for September 8... we are counting down!
Jim from St thomas on 08/29/2018 10:58 AM:
Mixed feelings on this. The Grand had great food but I much more enjoyed the small town diner vibe of Dotty’s. That said, I’m glad the new owners are providing a food option in Hartsburg. I wish them well.
Eber Haus Inn Hartsburg from Hartsburg on 08/29/2018 11:43 AM:
From my visiting with them Jim, I think they will provide a nice hybrid of both.... I think the small town vibe will definitely still be there...
Anonymous on 08/29/2018 11:48 AM:
How do you know the new restaurant won't have the small town diner vibe??
All I can make of it from the original post is that a new restaurant is opening. I'd have to see it before passing judgement.
Jim from St thomas on 08/29/2018 03:55 PM:
I wasn’t passing judgement on the new place. I was comparing the Grand with Dotty’s and saying which I preferred. I have no idea what the new place will be like but I do know I plan on eating there.

I rode from McKittreck to Hartsburg the second day of an end-to-end trip, and consider Hartsburg a key location on the KT, as it is a natural mid-point and has two excellent B&Bs. I stayed at the Eberhaus (the other is the Globe Hotel), which was exceptional. Hartsburg also has nice camp sites for tenters. The one drawback is the lack of a restaurant open evenings during the week, but the Eberhaus provided an excellent supper (and breakfast!). I would consider Hartsburg a must stop.

There used to be a great bar there that had simple food items. Had lunch there several times. I wonder if it is still open.
Sarah from Hartsburg on 05/23/2018 09:32 AM:
Yes!the HitchingPost! And Dottie's is open for breakfast and lunch Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Supper on Friday nights!

Mr. Bump from Hannibal on 01/25/2018 11:28 AM:
Pretty town, but no food on Jan 23rd. Even the B&B looked closed. No water either.
sarah on 01/25/2018 01:10 PM:
One B& B was closed. The other was open. The Hitching Post... well... water is available, but it is warm and friendly in there and you are always welcome!. The restaurant is open Thursday, Saturday and Sunday breakfast and lunch in the winter months.
Hartsburg - The Globe Hotel
Denise and Mike from Lees Summit MO on 11/02/2017 01:12 PM:
We spent the night at the Globe Hotel in Hartsburg on our trip across the Katy. This is the forth time we have stayed and it keeps getting better. Leia had wonderful homeade cookies and hot apple cider waiting when we arrived on this cold day. That was greatly appreciated. Leia and Mark are doing such nice job of getting the place fixed up and well decorated. They are personable hosts and we always enjoy spending time with them. They made dinner and breakfast for us; both were excellent. The omelet that Mark fixed was very good. Although they do not have private baths there are several bathrooms and nice cozy robes in each room. We always feel very comfortable here.
It is too bad Dotty's is not open on a consistent basis, one that the Globe and the riders can depend on. It would be wonderful if someone bought Dottys and provided a nice place to eat on this portion of the trail.
Brian L. from Wichita on 11/03/2017 07:10 AM:
Wow, thank you for all of the great, informative reviews you posted recently, Denise and Mike! Very helpful!
Busch's Landing (Hartsburg)
Jason from Huntsville, AL on 10/16/2006 04:32 PM:
We were scheduled to camp here, but the guy at the post office said that he didn't think anyone even went down there anymore. We checked it out and it was pretty scary looking. We decided not to camp there. Plus, it is about a mile off the trail down a very rocky, gravel road.
sbikes from Kansas City on 10/16/2006 07:34 PM:
Hartsburg allows camping in the City Park (and there is a nice gazebo with a roof and a floor)
and also there is a park on the edge of town (about 1/2 mile from the Trail on a paved road)
where camping is allowed as well. Camp in the City Park, have a nice dinner and glass of
wine at the winery (right across the street) and you are all set!
Jason from Huntsville, AL on 10/18/2006 02:07 PM:
We actually did end up camping at the park. Felt a little out of place but no one said a word and we really enjoyed it. Nice little town!
Anonymous from Hartsburg on 05/27/2011 03:26 PM:
Camping at the City Park is the best bet. Dottys Cafe is across the street and a new restaurant is supposed to be opening soon. There are also two taverns in town, one has food and everyone is always very welcoming to all of those on the trail.
Jimmy Kessler from St. Charles on 03/26/2012 12:12 PM:
If you camp at the city park, is there anywhere to shower?
Jim from St. Thomas on 03/26/2012 04:26 PM:
I'm not aware of any showers but the trailhead has running water so you can use the sink and a wash rag to knock some of the dust off.
Jason from Eureka Springs on 07/21/2015 05:35 PM:
Doing some planning for another October trip on the katy, hoping to stay at some different places than usual this trip. Last time I was in Hartsburg, I tried to get to Busch's landing. Was met by a group of people at the end of the road who were having a youths skeet shoot competition. Stopped to ask if I was near the campground, and was told that it was closed, there was nothing around but private property, and no where to camp. Is this true? I have seldom felt uncomfortable in lycra around anyone, but this was one of the few bad vibes I have had.
MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 07/21/2015 07:57 PM:
When I want to camp near Hartsburg I usually stay at Harts Creek Conservation Area rather than in town.
Anonoh on 07/22/2015 09:23 AM:
How about Coopers Landing near Easley just a little bit west. That's on the river like Busch's.
Michael Rodemeyer from Hartsburg on 07/22/2015 12:15 PM:
Camping in Hartsburg is free at Volunteer Park, in or around the gazebo. The trail bathrooms are close by and so are 2 or 3 restaurants. If you want to pay there are 2 B and B's and the caboose is available. Don't bother with Busch Landing as its a long ride for nothing as its only open to locals.
Busch Landing from Hartsburg on 09/26/2016 09:28 AM:
Busch Landing is private property and only open to locals with permission. Hartsburg has a great city park and wonderful atmosphere. Perfect for late summer early fall rides.
Bill Busch from Ashland, Missuri on 05/07/2017 11:35 AM:
Sure is distressing to see my grandfathers land in print and on maps as Bush Landing. This is incorrect it should be Busch's Landing. My grandfather Barney Busch owned the bank in Hartsburg until the depression when it went bankrupt. I notice even on your map above they call it Bush's Landing. Shame, Shame, Shame. Kind of defiles my families history in Hartsburg. Might note that my grandfather on my mothers side, Carroll H. Sapp of Ashland was Mayor of Ashland and also a judge. Served as a school teacher in
Englewood in his twenties and married my grandmother Wookie Dell. If you could help me change this little quirk I would certainly appreciate any help. Thanks, Bill Busch.

We rode into Hartsburg on a Tuesday planning to eat at Dottie's. It wasn't open, nor was there any place else in town to get food. Luckily for us the lovely proprietors of Grand Station, an event center in town, shared their own lunches with us! If you're planning an event, they will treat you well. Check out Grand Station.

Dotty's Cafe is a great place to eat and visit! Dotty is the owner, cook, baker, and delightful host of the Cafe! Vivian, her go to helper is just as wonderful and makes some of the prettiest flower arrangements (from her own garden ,no less!).
Dotty, hope you are doing well and thanks again for turning on the grill just for me!
Mark from Bentonville on 06/22/2016 12:28 PM:
We visited Dotty's for lunch June 11th on our way from Rocheport to Jeff City. They were ready to fill our bottles with ice water without asking. Great food and friendly service!
DT from Burlington on 06/27/2016 12:53 PM:
Check the hours...we arrived 15 minutes after closing time, which was 2:30 p.m. There's nowhere else to eat in town, so we scrounged up some food we had in our packs until we could check in at the Globe Inn B&B at 4:00 p.m., shower, and have dinner at the Grand Restaurant next door.

How about The Grand? You just posted that you liked it.
DT from Burlington on 06/28/2016 09:33 AM:
The Grand was WONDERFUL!
