Tank's Family Bar-B-Q grandopening is November 5th and 6th. Budwieser, Pepsi, 5 Block, and possible Jaxon D Ville will be there... will you?

Nice! Now what day are you gonna open up?

all of my out of town folk, first beers on me:smileup:

nov 1st ish... to quitely open the doors

Great cant wait Josh. Congrats again brother.

So Friday night then ????

all of my out of town folk, first beers on me:smileup:

Hey Green Cove is "out of town"... Isn't it?

Well, it sounds like a road trip on Friday Nov 5th to JAX. 1st beer free, great because that's my limit.LOL

We won't be able to make this. I'm having surgery on the 5th.

if you guys are in the mandarin area you are more than welcome to swing by and check it out before we open. give me a ring before you come 904-613-1161. NO ONE can come monday, health inspector and fire marshall will be here, but other than that you guys can come hang.

i'd like to pick up one of the saturday meet spots, isn't one a TBD anyway?

well, today was day one and we closed the doors at 5pm........ BECAUSE WE SOLD OUT!!!! so much for a quiet opening. we served 330 people with ZERO advertising in six hours! for a restaurant with only 40 seats... thats alot! we were booming for the whole day. We are actually closing tomorrow because we used EVERYTHING inhouse and have no food and can't get a delivery on sunday http://www.ptcrew.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif

thanks for your thoughts and prayers, i'm off to bed http://www.ptcrew.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/gear_lol2.gif

DAMN DUDE!! That is fantastic! But I thought you first day open was going to be Nov 1st. Sorry I didn't make opening day. We will come up there sometime soon though. I'm glad to hear it all went so good.
