Riding trail in October would like ideas on good places to eat along trail.

Rocheport: the BBQ place just behind the bike shop at the trailhead. Although my son & I arrived just a few minutes before closing time, they welcomed us in and set us up with some of the best barbecue I've ever had. I'm usually a pulled pork guy, but the chicken was absolutely amazing.

I will second Ray's suggestion. Much better food, service, and attitude than the Trailside Cafe.

Add one more vote for the BBQ. As noted...better food, better service and remarkably more positive attitude!
I always get great food at Doty's in Hartsburg.
I see mixed reviews on the Trailside Brewery in St. Charles, but I have had good food there on several occasions.

If you are close to Washington, MO -- eat at the Old Dutch Inn! Amazing food. Great bar. Nice environment.

Great burgers at the Mokane Bar & Grill. Good breakfast at the Trailside Bar & Grill in Rhineland.

The only hamburger place in Rocheport and a Thai place in Huntsdale closes on Tuesday - just be aware.
Also, there're no many options along the way to eat... My advise, take some food with you, and make sure you get something whenever you see a place that's open... :)

My eating strategy on Katy has always been essentially this: Know the stops, hope for the best, and bring trail mix. Casey's is never my first choice, but it works. So far, so good.

Good sound advice Arky. Never get caught out unprepared. Always have something to eat and drink. If a rider has no food or water it's because they didn't plan or rode past an opportunity to refuel and didn't take it.

jr.....do you mean the Thai place in Easley? I wasn't aware of one in Huntsdale.
jr on 8/31/2012 1:21:53 PM:
It may be in Easley... I can't quire remember... I just know it's about 10 miles before Hartsburg - it's in a campground area by the river... :)
