Stopped at 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon and had THE BEST hamburger ever--actually a double hamburger that was so thick I ate it as 2 burgers each on half a bun. The staff made us feel welcome and chatted freely about the area, the Trail and shared some local lore.
While off our normal route, will try to get back here if anywhere in the area!!

The homemade pies are great too. Just look to the north as you cross the country road to find the place.

It looks like another one of those St. Charles type businesses that goes incognito on the web with vital information. You know, one where you have to call for more information. You might try 1-800-WHERE'S DA BURGER.

Sorry for the confusion, folks. Because this website lets you enter comments from the various town web pages or from the various business pages, sometimes people's forum notes don't spell out exactly which location they're talking about. I added "Treloar Bar & Grill" to the subject of this thread, because that's what restaurant the original message was about (in the town of Treloar, of course).

A reasonably priced cab company ($15 to take us to Dutzow TH)in Washington is "Hey Taxi", #636-234-6360. Interesting fellow and much safer than crossing the bridge.

Did the bridge on a Saturday. I'm used to road cycling and found motorists courteous and safe. would bike it anytime except with kids.

East of Rocheport for scenery.....west to log miles.
Beings you'll be close, for a fun side trip check out the Chestnut Festival in New Franklin on October 13th if you are visiting MO that weekend.

Totally agree with west for miles and east for scenery. I think it's the first Sat in Oct that Lucy's Bar and Grill in McBaine has the annual "testicle festival" if you like those sort of things. If you're not sure about it, they are cow testicles/mountain oysters, sliced and deep fried. The hubby likes them...for me, I'll order a cheeseburger.

Rocheport east to Hartsburg is 25 miles...making your 50 mile round trip. There is a big pumpkin festival some time in October in Hartsburg. I don't know the exact date, but it is fun as my wife and I happened onto it last year.

Cliff from Edwardsville KS on 09/11/2007 11:30 AM
Go East! The scenery is great, the river is on one side and high bluffs on the other. The trial is flat and it is a nice easy ride. I would ride to Hartburg and then back to Rocheport. While in Hartsburg you can grab lunch at Dotties or the Summit Hill Winery. I have eaten at both and both are very good, it just depends on if you want a meal or just a light lunch. Dotties has very good meals and the winery has very good pizza and wine. The winery has a very nice outside patio where you can set and watch the trail while you eat and relax. Be sure and ride to the west end of Rocheport and see the tunnel. My Wife and I have enjoyed this ride several times. We start out with a good breakfast at the Trialside Cafe and Bike shop and then eat lunch in Hartsburg. It's about 25 miles or so each way so it makes for an enjoyble day on the trail. There will be alot of people on the trail on a Saturday but that should be no problem. Check out the towns listed on the mileage chart on this site and they will list all the points of interest along the trail to be sure and see. Have a great ride!

Ray (webmaster) on 09/28/2007 01:55 PM
As a matter of fact, one of the items on my to-do list is to add elevation to each of the town web pages, just like you curently see Population and Mile Marker. In the meantime, take a look at the
Katy Trail Elevation chart, which gives you a very useful picture of the trail's rise and fall.
