A group of friends and I are touring the Katy Trail over seven days. Looking for dining spots along the trail. We prefer locally owner places. I am curious how COVID-19 restrictions are affecting restaurants. Our tour begins in Clinton and ends in St. Charles. Our overnights will be Sedalia, Booneville, Columbia, Jefferson City, Hermann, and Augusta. We are particularly interested in lunch spots between these towns.

Stop at Meriwether in Rocheport. We would LOVE to feed you.

Boonville's Maggie's Bar and Grill is a locally owned spot on Main Street. It's a local favorite, and the owner consistently gives back to the community. Their burgers are the best in town, and the beer is always cold! Another local spot in Boonville is the Palace Greek Restaurant.

Our restaurants are back open in Windsor. Coming from Clinton go right at the trailhead just 5 blocks to most.

If lunch happens to work out while rolling through Mokane, the Mokane Bar & Grill is open and has great burgers and fries. We were there yesterday and the four of us all liked what we ordered and said we would love to go back. Mokane is between Jeff City and Hermann. It is up the main street not far off the trail on the left side, and take time to visit the little jail that will be on your right. Fun photo op spot and interesting!
Have a great time!

My sense is that COVID is not affecting the rural areas of Missouri much. On Aug 22 I was in Portland and ate at the Holzhauser's Bar and Grill and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. No masks, no tables closed, no acknowledgement of a pandemic. Friendly service and good bar food. This is only one data point, but I don't imagine you will have trouble finding food. That said, always have an extra granola bar or similar in your pocket just in case.

Our Ivory Grille Restaurant is locally owned and less than a mile from the trail. We also have our Oak Room Lounge on property. The food and drinks are the best around! 317 S Ohio Sedalia, MO 65301. They are open Mon-Sat 430-9pm. Feel free to use our bike washing station in the parking lot should you need it. We can also store your bikes for you while you eat.
We hope you all have a safe trip!
