Time for a new Brandon spot bishes...

[ajusf16]

A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below. The department cites violations of Florida's sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code. In general, critical violations are those that, if not corrected, are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination, illness or environmental damage. Although we use the industry-standard term "critical", varying degrees of severity and potential risk to the public require inspectors to assess each situation in determining the appropriate action. In addition, while an establishment may have multiple violations, the inspectors' training and judgment formulate the overall result of the inspection to ensure the public health and safety. While most establishments correct all violations in a timely manner (often during the inspection), the division's procedures are designed to compel compliance with all violations through follow-up visits, administration action or closure when necessary.

[OhSNAP!!!]

I didn't post this, but +1!

[RICO]

Should we start listing other places just in case they are closed by the next brandon meet?

[GSXRCandi]

I'm sick to my stomach just reading that.....
Florida needs to inspect the Bennigan's off of Dale Mabry by the stadium.....that place is worse than Barnacles was.....


Sooooooooooooooo, where's the new spot....... Cold Stone???? :D :crackup:

[Lilwoman]

OMG! That's horrible. It's a great place to hang out due to the size and location, but yeah that sucks!

[pizzaman]

I'm not saying the violations are minor or not important, but they are ALL fixable in one day. They call and get the health police out there the next day. They can be open Friday.

In 20 years in the restaurant business, I have seen a hell of a lot worse.

When I was managing a godfather's pizza in Jax. we had an AC problem. The franchise owners wouldn'r fix it. When the health guy game by to do the inspection, we discussed the 110 deg. temp in the dish room/prep area. He asked me if i wanted a red tag? I said do it. Restaurant was closed for 3 days until repairs were made. I called the health man, he reinspected. Store opened up that afternoon.

Oh yeah, that regional manager got fired.

[griffinzx10]

Well in that area is Buffalo Wild wings, but i did that place a few years ago when it opened and it SUCKED HARD..

We need good parking, plenty of room and easy to get to...

We did old chicago pizza a few times, but parking there sucked.

[ohgood]

i remember being a teenager, and working at grocery stores/fast food places.

EVERYTHING was swept under the rug.

when we called the managers about rat s, they just said put out more traps.

when we called them about roaches, same deal.

when there was a bird in the store, the manager shot it. no shit, but winn dixie has changed owners a few times now ;)


needless to say we don't go out to eat much. :D

While i agree that they are FIXABLE, and can be fixed quickly, but what is to stop them from happening again? If they are small and fixable, then it shouldnt have happend in the first place..

IDK....

.

the one on 301?? we were there no too long ago, and it was great....the manager was even very pro-bike....talk to candi

[Gidget]

what about cheddars? or back to hooters?

[TampaFZR]

What about the new BWW in riverview? its not too much more of a drive maybe 10 mins

[Lilwoman]

I think the only other place in Brandon that compares in size (building/parking) and convenience of location would be that roadhouse place... I've only been there once and that was quite awhile ago. Sorry can't remember the exact name.

[griffinzx10]

the one on 301?? we were there no too long ago, and it was great....the manager was even very pro-bike....talk to candi

If these are the same ones.. you two are referring to

The one on 301 and bigbend? that is far for some, i mean i would love to have a meet so close to my place, but for most that far south is just a drive....


what about cheddars? or back to hooters?

Hooters, IMO isnt that great, and the parking at the one on 60 in brandon was why we stopped going there, could never get parking, and they wouldnt do anything for us....:occasion1

[wanting]

better is why they let it get that bad in the first place...

[Train083]

Hooters :D

[griffinzx10]

see my response to hooters, we did the one on 60 and the one on gandy

[TampaFZR]

griffy BWW isnt that far i bet it take the same amout of time just because its so close to 75

[wanting]

griffy BWW isnt that far i bet it take the same amout of time just because its so close to 75

it is 15 miles further south than Barnacles.. trust me, i know i live out there, you are talking about the one on 301 and big bend, right?

that place would be great, but it is pretty far south... Hell we have people who live in brandon who wouldnt go to brandon..

then for people like JH who live in Georgia, that is another 15 miles for them..

I i like the brandon area, cuz it is easily accessable to everyone, and i dont mind that being the closest meet to me, we just need a good replacement

[griffinzx10]

I predict a very long drawn out debate on where to eat next :)...


:+1

That is based on experience.. but yes i agree...:+1

i understand, im just looking at the "its more miles but less time" aspect

The manager of the Bell Shoals and the Big Bend BWW's is Jay, and yeah, he's very pro-bike. He asked us about having a bike night last year some time when Tribal & Nanna went riding after Busafan ditched us. (sorry man, I can't let that go :D) He's still there as of last month.


I predict a very long drawn out debate on where to eat next :)...
Debate? On TSB...???

[Gidget]

i stick with cheddars. but, really don't care enough to debate it. whatever you want...just tell me where to go and i'll be there :)

[Over_Easy]

"14-36-1 Observed gaskets/seals on cold holding unit in poor repair, reachin cooler, North end of cook line."

Looks like something I would read in my motorcycle's service manual.

[buckwild750]

As soon as we find a place to go, I'll let everyone know how to properly break in a bike, what oil to use, and the date of the photoshoot for new TSB banner :)....but since I really can't make it down to that area anyway.....

[Gecko]

in the amount of time it took me to look up the name cheddars like 20 posts went up LOL


how about Cheddars?
http://www.cheddars.com
11135 Causeway Blvd - Brandon FL, 33511

nice outside area, ok bar, lots of parking...

or buffalo wild wings, same plaza as barnacles

[Over_Easy]

Brandon is NOT easily accessable to everyone. An accessable location to everyone would be centrally located in Tampa - surrounded by St. Pete, Clearwater, N. Tampa, Brandon and Riverview areas.

[Lilwoman]

I loooooooooove Cheddars, but I'm afraid they wouldn't support a bike group, due to the "style" of the restaurant. I'd totally be up for it though if it does work out.

[buckwild750]

You guys are making me hungry!

[DeltaNu1142]

As soon as we find a place to go, I'll let everyone know how to properly break in a bike, what oil to use, and the date of the photoshoot for new TSB banner :)
While you're at it, figure out the best tires to run in driving rain between speeds of 80 & 110 mph... and how to wheelie a borrowed bike on an I-275 WOT run during rush hour... :D

[buckwild750]

Before I tell you which tires to use, I'll tell you how to properly break them in, and no you don't use a dremmel............Ok, I'm done.

[Lilwoman]

Do people not like the Ale House or whatever it is on 60? Just curious. I mentioned it and no one appeared to notice. Where's the love?!? :(

Just kiddin'. I don't really care myself, as long as we find some place that works out.

I know one of the managers at Cheddar's and have ridden with him a few times...he rides a Busa himself. He would definitely help out where he can.

Ale House is OK--is parking a problem?

[griffinzx10]

i love it, aj drops this bomb and then doenst post anymore..

What a drama queen

[morganw]

winghouse on 301 and I-75 intersection

[griffinzx10]

winghouse on 301 and I-75 intersection

did that in the beginning, TOO SMALL NOW...

[Lilwoman]

Ale House is OK--is parking a problem?

I've never seen their lot packed and they have a good sized lot just like Barnacles. The only downside, no "real" outdoor seating...

[buckwild750]

The parking sucks at just about all Winghouses and Hooters

[DeltaNu1142]

I've never seen their lot packed and they have a good sized lot just like Barnacles. The only downside, no "real" outdoor seating...
My wife & I hit up the place behind the Harley dealership in Brandon on 60, the BBQ place--I don't know much about it, but there's plenty of parking & outdoor seating. Not really a "restaurant," per se. Not sure how receptive they'd be to a bunch of ricers :D

Oh yeah that's true...there is that place. But would they be able to serve all of us?

[Fictionnn]

ehh not really a big deal....

the service there sucked anyway!!!!

but i have to say the fish tacos were THE BOMB




hows about that chicago grill or whatever its called that is right accross the street (they have lots of diffrent types of beer MMMMMMM......)

[snook]

shit, do the meet at my apt. makes barnicales look like heaven. heheh

[Gecko]

you could probably talk the management at buffalo wild wings into roping off the side lot for bikes only on bike night, its a good size 26 parking spots, figure 2 bikes a spot (ish) almost 60 bikes.

[onesportbikerider]

35A-05-1 Critical. Observed roach activity as evidenced by 22 small and 11 large live roaches found in kitchen area.


So that's why those Conch fritters are so reasonably priced.

[vrod]

Conch fritters, spelled r-o-a-c-h-e-s. That explains why you need the special seasoning to eat them.

[morganw]

b-dubs food is far from good... just my .02

[ajusf16]

i love it, aj drops this bomb and then doenst post anymore..

What a drama queen

Had people come in I was in shock when I saw a thread I made with four pages in that little of time...

[ajusf16]

ok CHeddars is kind of out of the price range for this IMHO

now the Moe's Wings Gone wild area could work out they are literally right next to each other right off the highway so all the northerners could get their easily and then you have your choice between two places to eat. The parking is fine, also there is a Quiznos within walking distance so you hvae;
fair priced food
three different meals to choose from
easy location
enough parking
and it was my idea

[Jlea]

Ummm may I point out that we left Buffalo Wild Wings in NPR because they SUCK the food SUCKS and it just SUCKS

[ajusf16]

oh and for gods sakes could someone fix the title?

[hicktown]

i never ate food at that place. even if they re-open thats horrible publicity for a food joint. it will never have the support it did when it first opened. I say go 2 a new place.

[ajusf16]

I believe they had a dirty dining report on this place at one point as well...a year back or so

[Jlea]

that sucks because I really loved their food :( and Thomas was AWESOME!





But no offense AJ, how is Cheddars expensive compared to barnacles? It's cheaper IMO...

[ajusf16]

I have not been in a while to Cheddars but werent their salads $9-10?

[ToddT]

waitresses was ugly anyhow.......................new bike night@ penthouse club food is good too and i bet there all shaved no hair in food

[BuckwheatJ]

They just shut down as of Sunday. May reopen under new ownership.

not that I was aware of...when I go for lunch I get soup and salad for like $7?

301 Wing House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone is making sound like Barnacles is a bad place cause they failed one inspection. All you're favorite restaurants are all the same way, they just haven't been caught yet.

We've been going to WGW pretty much every Saturday night, it is way to small for a bike night, but if you did it at Moe's they have plenty of space and WGW has outside seating! Food is pretty good.

Fuck you guys baggin on my Banacles.!st off a health inspector can shutdown almost any restaurant by finding shit and blowing shit out of proportion.I worked in the food industry as a kid.I bet this fat fuck inspector got an attitude and just took it out on them.

They just had their 8th anniversary, I'm sure they'll get the items fixed and be reopened asap. These items are pretty mild compared to what could have been on the list. Besides, in hot commercial conditions, it only takes not cleaning something 2 days for "slime" to grow.

they probably fixed all of them, i mean they werent THAT BAD.... and easily fixed..

Then finding a place immediately isn't necessary. Unless fewer people show to this meet as a result of the inspections, there is no point in changing it at all. If we begin to notice less people, then it would be prudent to look into a new locale.
