The Olive Garden here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania is one of the areas
favorite restuarants (including ours) and is always packed with a waiting
line (sometimes up to 1/ 1/2 hours) at dinner 7 days a week. This has been
going on since it's opening years ago and has often made me wonder why they
have not built another one in the vicinity.
