Re: Tuesday 4/01/25 Jamie’s Place, Holden, MO or Roxanne's Cafe, Parkville, MO

We had 20 ROMEOs at Jamie's this morning. It was a boisterous group and Loud even said his hearing aides weren't working over the noise. As usual the food and wait staff were great. We had a new ROMEO this morning and everyone made him feel welcome (I had to apologize for calling his Kawasaki a Har...

Re: Tuesday 3/18/25 Patriots Restaurant, Louisburg, KS or Dino's Diner, Cameron, MO

We had 38 ROMEOs at Patriots this morning. Most of us came on 2 or 3 wheels on a very windy morning. The restaurant was a little challenged with the crowd but those that told me of mistakes were tolerating them well. There was only one waitress and, all things considered, I think she did a pretty g...

Option A this week is a return to Patriots Restaurant in Louisburg, Ks. We were there last October and I've been looking forward to getting back.

Re: Tuesday 3/11/25 TJ's South, Belton, MO or Wabash BBQ, Excelsior Springs, MO

We had 24 ROMEOs at TJ's in Belton today. Those of us that got there right at 10 found a line of ROMEOs backed up to the front door waiting for seating. It seems there was a bit of miscommunication, maybe on my part, but the restaurant didn't realize we were coming. The restaurant did a good job wi...

Re: Tuesday 3/4/25 Reynold's Family Diner, Harrisonville, MO or 54th Street Grill, Kansas City, MO

We had 18 at Reynold's this morning. It was a very rainy morning with tough driving conditions and even blizzard warnings, but we still had a normal ROMEO turn out! I was amazed. No bikes of course. The food and service were great and we enjoyed the morning. I hope everyone had a safe trip home.

Re: Tuesday 2/11/25 Big Creek Cafe, Pleasant Hill, MO or The Big Biscuit, Gladstone, MO

A dozen ROMEOs showed up at Big Creek Cafe this morning. It wasn't as cold as predicted and dry, a pretty decent day for February -- but we all came on 4 wheels anyway. The waitress was great. She kept checking on us and taking good care of us. We had to make her stop running so we could read the b...

We had 18 ROMEOs this cold morning at Ronnie's, 4 bikes. It's amazing that we can go from 60+ days to barely 30 overnight. I was happy to see Gary and Mary. They were with us the last time we came to Ronnie's. Food and service were great and we had a nice comfortable area of the restaurant. When I ...
