This is one of my ultimate favorite shops. We live in NYC and have family out in Augusta. It is one…read moreof the first places I want to go when we're out in Missouri. They always have unique gifts and seasonal options. It is the perfect place for holiday shopping. Seriously. Candles, wines, jewelry, shirts, frames, unique everything that just gives the perfect opportunity to find great gifts with a special touch. My only gripe is I wish they were open more! I recommend calling them or the bike shop next door to confirm that they're open. The perfect day is walking the trail, or visiting a nearby winery (we recommend sunflower hill farm) and then doing some shopping. Do yourself a favor and give them a visit. The bike shop next door also has really good strawberry slushies, haha.

Robin's Nest on the Katy is in the same building as the Katy Trail Bike Rental. I'm sure it's a…read moregreat place to stop and shop when you're driving the wine trail or, I assume, when you're biking the Katy. Robin's Nest has some of the same sort of thing you'd see in old St. Charles, but it isn't jammed in, plus the place is well lit, so you can see everything in there. I had the pleasure of first visiting Robin's Nest when I was in a wedding and we took some photos behind the store. There's a beautiful bridge and then the Missouri River in the distance behind this charming old general store-like building. At the time, Robin's Nest was filled with Halloween decorations. If you're at all into Halloween decorating or need a gift for that occasion, I highly recommend Robin's Nest. I was unable to truly shop that day, so I returned within the month, and I've been to Robin's Nest some 4 or 5 times since. It's great in all seasons, but the fall is my favorite to do anything in or around Highway 94. Once I went and there were samples of wine and coffee. That was my lucky day! Some items there are a bit too pricey for me, but they make great gifts. Robin's Nest also spotlights local artists. Yesterday, I bought a greeting card made by an artist from Defiance. If you are driving by, be sure to stop at Robin's Nest and look around.

Good News Brewing in Defiance was a fun stop after the St. Patrick's Day parade. It was very busy,…read morebut we were still able to find a table and order food without too much trouble. The setup is casual--you order food and drinks at the register and then receive a text when your food is ready for pickup. When we went to grab our order, part of it was missing because someone else had accidentally taken it. The staff handled it well and quickly remade the missing items, which we appreciated. We ordered pizza, chicken wings, and a pretzel with cheese. Everything was pretty good and hit the spot after being out in the cold. The patio also had a live band playing, which created a really fun atmosphere. Overall it was a lively place with good food and a great vibe, especially on a busy event day.

In previous years they had staggered times and now everyone all comes at once. They release tables to go up to the buffet which leaves a long line as well as a lot of people waiting to go up to the buffet. We have gone to this buffet several times and I am sad to say this will be our last year. Unfortunately, the food was not as good and somewhat tasted like cold cafeteria food. For $143 I expected more. They had less food variety as well. They use to have an omelette stations which they no longer have. And my daughter was sad to see they didn't have a chocolate fountain like they did in previous years. We are usually not complainers, however we decided to talk to the general manager and now we see why things are the way they are. My husband let him know the staggered times worked better. The manager shrugged his shoulders and said this is the way we have done it for the last 3 years. I said the food wasn't as good as previous years and he shrugged his shoulders. This is so disappointing

I forget her name but the woman working was so kind. The place was very clean & decorated cute! I loved the paintings in the bathroom of the town. We parked on the road across the street, I do not believe they had a parking lot but I'm not entirely sure. I wish we lived closer so we could come more often! I hope the locals are taking advantage. We will be back!

The food this time was not great at all. I had chicken salad on a croissant with their Cole slaw. The chicken salad had like nothing in it.

Meanwhile, several people who ordered after us received their food long before we did. It honestly seemed like our order may have been lost, but instead of being upfront and apologizing, we were repeatedly told "5 more minutes" over and over again. On top of that, I asked the employee at the register if they had any nonalcoholic wine or drinks available, and the response I got was basically "I don't know, I don't think so," without even attempting to check or ask someone else. After waiting that long, our food finally arrived cold, which made the experience even more disappointing. Especially on Mother's Day, when families are coming out to celebrate, we expected much better customer service and communication.

I got the key lime which was a wheat beer with a lime taste. I really enjoyed it, as I enjoy citrus forward things. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Then finally we saw that there is a parking lot down the hill and their building looks like something else other than a business.

We finally made it inside and it is a big barn, same cozy Good News interior & family friendly. I had unlucky times with their woodfire pizzas before at their other locations, they came out burnt and I think this location did the best job, the doughs came with spinach artichoke dip were perfectly wood-fired! Service was slow though. Only 1 bartender was working on a friday night and took us an hour to get our 1 appetizer.
