JOLIET, IL — Every week, one of the inquisitive Will County Sheriff's deputies working security at the Will County Courthouse always asks Joliet Patch's editor, "when is the new Joliet Olive Garden going to open?"

Finally, we have a definitive answer for him and everybody else who can't wait to visit Joliet's newest family restaurant.

On Monday, the answering machine message for the "Joliet-Plainfield Olive Garden" Italian Restaurant lets callers know that the new Olive Garden will be open at 11 a.m. on April 10.
