BrickHouse is a great place to eat and if you like Italian try Bella Arte just to the north. Fisherman's Wharf on Lake Hamilton is also a great place to eat. Be sure you ride Highway 5 to Highway 7 and go North.

Thanks for all the info it all sounds good. I wonder how would I find out which counties are dry so that we could end up near a bar or liquor store at the end of the day, we all like to have a cold beer to relax and talk about the days ride ?
thanks RB

This road wore away a bit of my foot boards. If you ride it from top to bottom turn around and ride it the other way. Maybe do it a couple of times as long as your there and have enough gas.

There's a hamburger joint close to the little HD shop that is pretty good...just can't remember the name?? Have a great weekend!

What he said!!!!

If the Cliff House is too bust try the Ozark Cafe downtown Jasper - great food.

Google Push Mountain - between Mountain Home and Mountain View, great ride
