    01 Spots on Peach Street
We've spent hours eatin 4 9for everyone's benefit so we can bring these mot Spots to you. After weeks of
debating, we have finally decided on our favorite restaurant: the Olive garden. (- this restaurant guide will
opefully help indecisive students narrow their choices for going out to eat.
Valentino's- 7792 Peach St.
Phone number 860-8257
Valentino's is an Italian all-you-can-eat buffet
On the buffet are award-winning pizzas, deli
cious pastas, fresh salads, and various forms
of sweet desserts. Make sure you save room
for the desserts and the all-you-can-eat ice
cream bar. We recommend the stuffed shells
and the dessert bar.
Olive Garden-5945 Peach St. Phone number 866-1105
The Olive Garden is an Italian-style restaurant. The entrees are
served with all-you-can-eat salad and breadsticks and all meals
include a side of pasta. Olive Garden also serves sandwiches and a
variety of salads. Children can draw with crayons while waiting
for their meals. We recommend the chicken parmesan, never
ending salad, and breadsticks.
Chi-Chi's- 5800 Peach St. Phone number 868-5351
Chi-Chi's is a Mexican fiesta waiting to happen. From the
time you enter into the brightly painted rooms with low light-
ing, you can't help but feel your mood rise. The Mexican
food is some of the best in Erie, and even the hungriest of
people enjoy the chips and salsa that are served when you are
seated. We recommend the Enchilada Conquistador, Tres'
Amigos, chili con queso, and fried ice cream.

Quaker Steak-7851 Peach St. Phone number 864-9464
Chicken products are very popular at the Lube. Also typical of the
Lube are types of foods with names that go along with the racing
atmosphere. These include the Sprinster, Wrench fries, Otenna,
Peel Outs, and the Mush-Vroomburger. We recommend Tuesday's
all-you-can-eat wing night. For $9.99, you can get a variety of
wing flavors such as Louisiana lickers, ranch, barbecue, hot, mild,
and honey mustard.
Cracker Barrel-7810 Interstate Drive. Phone number 868-2500
The Cracker Barrel is a good place to get home-cooked meals far away
from home. The menu contains many different types of hearty meals
filled with vegetables and a variety of meats. Each meal also comes
with warm biscuits or cornbread. We recommend the grilled chicken
salad with biscuits.
Eat 'N Park-7355 Peach St. Phone number 866-3970
Eat 'N Park is open 24 hours. It really is the place for smiles.
From the time you enter, you are cheerily greeted by the hostess.
By the time you leave, you're rarely ever displeased. With rea
sonable prices, statewide Eat'N Parks are popular hangouts for
many students and adults alike. The menu includes sandwiches,
burgers, soups, salads, and dinners. And be sure you get a
smiley-faced cookie before you leave! We recommend the steak
salad with grilled stickes a la mode for dessert.
