2026 Heartland Rally Breakfast Poll

A note/update on morning eats at the rally

Hi y'all.  I just got off the phone with Carolina, the owner of Los Amigos Restaurant, just opened inside the Round Barn Lodge.  This is their third restaurant in the area and yes, it is a Mexican restaurant.  Since there are few in the group that cannot or will not eat Mexican food, this will probably not be a spot we use for a group dinner and they open at 10:00am which is too late for breakfast.  However, I can arrange to have a selection of "grab and go" items available for us for some pre-ride sustenance.  Carolina is very interested in helping us with something like that.  She even offered to open early for regular breakfast meals, but I don't think that is necessary nor particularly affordable.  Those that want a full breakfast will be able to venture a little south on US14 to Anita's Cafe which opens at 7:00am.  

Some of you have indicated that you could bring your own breakfast snacks, and that is wonderful, but I'd like to at least have Carolina put together some options that might make that unnecessary.   To that end, here's a survey with some common breakfast items that could be available.  Pick the ones that you would actually eat/drink and we'll see where this leads us.   If I missed an item that's would be important to you, please comment on that.

This might have been mentioned elsewhere, but there’s a place called Anita’s Cafe about a minute away. Opens at 7 and is right next to a gas station.

Yes,  this will be a great option for some, maybe most, of the attendees for at least some mornings.   I've not eaten there myself, but Pam at the hotel says it's good.    There are a few other breakfast places within a short drive/ride from the hotel, but not convenient enough if we're heading out for a longer ride.  While I have not plotted the routes for the week, I know that most will have a lunch stop included.  I'll be posting on the routes and the food stops in the coming weeks.
