Quote from: NiecarrahWe are trying to get our Tavern/Restaurant up and running and it IS crunch time!
I certainly hope that you have made certain that the tavern is
not located within easy :boat3: access by our own :Hammys pint: lovin' (https://www.landzdown.com/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=1127;type=avatar)!!!
When is the grand opening? Do you deliver? I know a certain person whose user name identifies him as MSFT who frequently orders out. Perhaps air freight delivery? :lol:
Wishing you much success! :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:
Thank You Corrine, that is very kind of you. We will have Take Out, but I think Air Freight is out of the question. LOL Perhaps some desserts could make it? However we should be open within the next 6-8 weeks! Providing all the red tape goes smoothly. Harrisburg has been known to drag their feet in these areas. Our lawyer has good contacts there so we are hoping... Once again Thank You . But I do wish we were close enough for some of our own(LZD), to come a get libations and food!! Would definitely have a successful Tavern! :gwave:
pix?
address?
Menu? :lol:
Sounds like it will be a fine establishment.
Will you be serving any quality Canadian beverages ??
:tease:
Free Wi-Fi? ;)
WELL... YOU ASKED FOR IT! Ok let's see... No pix at this time, as I cannot locate my camera software since I got this new puter last fall? So I tried scanning some matte finish pics and they s*&%#ed! Addy/etc.: The Sproul Tavern on Bedford St., Sproul, PA. 16682 - 814-239-5868. Sproul is a small town of 137!! Only 7 buildings on Bedford St. We are the second from the corner at Reed St. Menu: Down Home Cooking, only things I would serve my own family. No canned gravies, real mashed potatoes, French Fries with the skins, etc. Ham Pot Pie, Stuffed Green Peppers, Lasagna, Turkey and the trimmings, Stuffed Meatloaf, Meatball Sandwiches, Hamloaf Balls, Pork, Sauerkraut and Dumplings, Chili Con Carne, Hot Roast Beef, Pork or Turkey Sandwiches, Oven Baked Chicken, Potato Soup, N.E. Clam Chowder, Poor Mans Steak in gravy w/potatoes, Pizza Casserole just to name a few. All from my tried and true recipes. Full liquor license with Budweiser, Coor's Light and Yuengling Black & Tan on tap. Yes on the Canadians, I like Molson in the mini keg myself. My building is four stories. The ground floor (handicap accessible)is the tavern with eating and the first phase. The second level will become a dining room/all family style, the second phase. The third level will be a Bed and Breakfast for weekends and Special stays ONLY! No permanence, and thus phase three. We are at the foot of Blue Knob Ski Resort, so... And the forth level will become our living space as the business move up! Now staying on second level, and preparing for its future. I am located 1/4 mile off I-99 in a straight path from the off/on ramps. Have a parking lot like Wally World's Super Centers. This area has just begun to flourish and I am in on the ground floor so to speak. Thanks to I-99 nearing completion! (North to South corridor) And all of this will lead to a request for permission to post a poll type question on Lzd. for an answer I need. But that will be a couple of weeks down the line. If it permission is granted me, I hope you will all put in your :2cents: worth! Oh and as phase three nears, I will consider Free Wi-Fi too! Hope this answers your questions, if not fire away!
Corine,

Of course!
Oh my! How did I miss this exciting news?!
What a dandy business plan! Hummm...only 137? I can't imagine living in a town that size :lol: Having that resort as well as I-99 nearby is perfect!

There is a restaurant with down home cooking that is here, but waay across town. I make the trek as often as I can. Love it! Appreciate it not only for the good taste, but the extra hard work it takes to make in a restaurant setting.

Oh, since Corrine brought up air freight...and you mentioned desserts. Any chance there is some bread pudding with southern praline pecan sauce on the menu?

Any good amusement parks nearby?
Cool map 8)

Love Bread Puddin' and make a very fine one, not knowing too much about Praline Sauce though? Love Pralines and Cream from Baskin Robbins! I make a To Die For Pecan Pie though!

Any good amusement parks nearby? We have two good amusement parks. One is about 12 mins.(Lakemont) from here and the other 30mins(Delgrosso's). Both via I-99!
Aaron, upon checking you map, I find it is VERY dated! The area looks nothing like that. Had trouble finding it myself. The map must be prior to 1990 or so?! We are located about 70 feet right of your red marker! It is the large light colored roof!
Ripley *waves* 70 feet to the right to Niecarrah
Niecarrah :gwave: back at Ripley :hysterical: !!!

The map image is from the US Geological Survey (http://www.usgs.gov/). While I don't know anything for certain, I would guess that it's been a while since a satellite flew over you and took pictures, and of course that image would need releasing for public use.
For my own curiosity, I looked at my parents' house to see what's up with that, as that image was also old, but it looks like now the image is fairly recent, and it's in color now. Perhaps soon a newer image will go up for you? My crystal ball's out for repair, so can't say. ;)

well, how 'bout that! ah, the wonders of the modern age: satellites and crystal balls. :hysterical:
How is it going? Do you have an opening date yet?
Nah, we are maybe looking at 6 more weeks of RED Tape. Ho Hum. I am a terrible waiter.
Red tape and then you open the doors? Or red tape and then you finish construction, hiring, etc.?
Red Tape we open the doors! Construction complete, people know they are hired. The floor tiles for the bar area have been finally chosen, the lights are in transit. Those were the last two things I couldn't decided on. The tiles I like, the lights I settled on. Cause the ones I like... we could not afford. I had 13 light fixtures to choose and 4 fans to coordinate.
So, as a jump on the ski season, you could very well be serving lunch to the day-after-Thanksgiving shoppers!!!
Should add that after Harrisburg moves, then I will wait for our local Health Dept. in their own good time. I also have been taking my Managerial Food Safety Certification classes and will take the exam on 10/26, then I have my RAMP Certification class to finish and take that exam on 10/17.
HOPEFULLY by then!!!!!!!!!! But if PDA doesn't like something I will have to make changes to suit. They supply my Operating Permit and License to Serve Food.
Niecarrah you got my blessing as a food lover I would give you the go a head .
I love to come and try the grub but being ill stop me from going Abroad.

How did the exam go? Have you opened? Any pictures of the restaurant?
How strange you should ask. I was going to make the announcement today, proving you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!! I got a 100% on my exam!!!!!!!!!! Seventy percent was needed to pass, and I actually scored 70% on the pretest at the beginning of the course. But learning all the bacterias, their causes & cures and the signs to look for, then the viruses, and the fungi, bothered me. No not open yet, still awaiting the rusty wheels of Harrisburg(state capitol)!! Now my next exam course will be undertaken, RAMP Certification! I will probably begin on Mon. or Tues. unless I get into the Tin ordering which is possible. We needed to replace about 12' X 4' section of our tin ceiling and crown work. Yadda, yadda...

likewise, congrats!
so... you are opening soon?
So how goes it with the place ??

indeed, how's it going?
i think we left this drama in the permits, permits, who's got the permits department...
I just happened upon this thread! It mentioned food which of course got my full attention.
I have always wanted to have my own restaurant. Being full blood Cajun I inherited the cooking gene. (and the eating one too)
So how goes the permit work and the tests?
I hope you are moving along and serving food to those hungry travelers
great question, r-c!
nicarrah, how's it going in restaurant land?
Answer to follow soon. :( I'm thinking...
uh-oh! hopefully a good report follows... :look:
hope it's a good report (https://www.landzdown.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi123.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo284%2FmrT57%2F23_10_13.gif&hash=2c768a7164166d9109ee89bc2d41355d85f141f4) as I'm starving
