All the chain restaurants here are in a ring around the mall. The wait on weekends is more than an hour, a half hour during the week. The local Applebees has the rudest people working as greeters and waitresses and I refuse to ever step foot in it again. Olive Garden I go to once every two or three months when I visit family in Pittsburgh. There aren't very many mom-and-pop restaurants left in the area and the ones that do exist don't have very good food. I tend to cook at home 99% of the time. My neighbor and I are both Italian mamas so we cook a ton and share with each other all the time. We order in pizza once or twice a month.
