Ate here in late June of 2010. The people in the restraunt were not very nice at all, no one but the cashier said a word to us. The food was pretty good, but it was over priced for the amount you get.

I stopped here twice with my wife. I thought the prices weren't out of line - I ordered a hamburger, sweet potato fries and a drink for about $7 or $8 - can't remeber the exact price. I couldn't finish all of the sweet potato fries. I was looking for something to eat and some AC and Trailside Cafe was what fit the bill.

We went last weekend. The breakfast was awful. We wanted to try
something different for our Sunday ride. We will stay with our ride to
Hartsburg and stop at Dotty's,

Have eaten here a couple times before. The food was good and the restaraunt was clean. But I agree, the staff could use a little personality. But it was not bad enough to say I will never come back.

Ditto to John's comments.

We biked the Katy Trail last week and had a late breakfast here and after placing my order, I spoke to one of the workers and he did not respond. The breakfast was very good! Then I went outside and asked for air for our bikes but the guy in the repair shop I had spoke too earlier indicated he could not speak so I used sign language and he showed me where the hand pump was. The cashier came out and told me their air pump was out of service or we could have used that. I would recommend them.

We have stopped at the Trail Side Cafe on both personal trips and trips with boy scouts (through a couple of different owners)...the boys call it "cheeseburgers in paradise" b/c they are ready for a good burger after several days camping along the trail. We love it...and the location!!!

A suggestion: this is a negative thread from 2010. Next time, you might want to start a new thread (and thanks for giving positive feedback. I'm often surprised by what people expect from a dinner in a small town!)

My wife and I rode the trail over the Memorial Day weekend and stopped at the bike shop for a repair. Unfortunately it was something they couldn't handle (broken spoke), so we were forced to go elsewhere. Hard to do on a compromised bike. As for food; Abigail's in Rocheport was awesome. Small town or not, one shouldn't have to settle for bad quality food or service. Highly recommend Abigail's.

A broken spoke shouldn't "compromise" your ride. Maybe if you had multiple broken spokes, but your bike being compromised because of a broken spoke is a bit of a stretch.
