More Pennsylvania restaurants are getting dinged for defying Gov. Tom Wolf’s COVID-19 mitigation orders.
As part of its latest round of inspections, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture announced it has ordered 33 restaurants to close for allowing patrons to eat indoors. The inspections took place Dec. 21-27.
Under the governor’s latest mandate, restaurants are not permitted to serve patrons indoors for three weeks ending Jan. 4. In addition, restaurants must continue to follow rules requiring employees to wear masks, while they offer carryout and takeout and serve diners outdoors.
Restaurants ordered to close include Denny’s Lennies Restaurant in Halifax, Villa Schiano in Elizabethville and CC’s Kitchen in Mechanicsburg.
The Department of Agriculture conducted 381 inspections. Fifty of those inspections were prompted by complaints filed about COVID-19 mitigation orders not being followed. Last week, the department announced 40 restaurants had been ordered to close for defying orders.
Other agencies in the state including the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement oversee COVID-19 enforcement. The agency recently cited dozens of licensed establishments in the state. y
Restaurants that continue to defy the closing orders and operate in any manner, according to the Department of Agriculture will be referred to the Pennsylvania Department of Health for further legal action.
On Dec. 23, the Department of Health filed an injunction through Commonwealth Court against 22 restaurants that continue to defy the indoor dining ban despite being ordered to close. The injunction requires restaurants to close and seeks “compensatory damages and all costs relative to enforcing the provisions of the order.”
Complaints, whether general food safety concerns or those related to COVID-19 mitigation efforts, can be filed online.

Why doesn’t Governor Wolf just close down all the restaurants in the state?
Could things get more insane? This will destroy their businesses and livelihoods. Sheer madness.
Dictator Wolf has destroyed our right to vote, so yes, destroy our right to eat should be next.
If you catch him eating out, I would suggest roofing patch and chicken feathers. Keep the patching warm so it pours easy.
You can still eat, you’ll just be able to eat what the State of Pennsylvania tells you.
Note that none of the restaurants appear to be part of chains. They are probably all family-owned.
People turned them in. Disgusting.
How about getting dragged through the streets until skinless?
More fitting for elitists who ruin lives and livelihoods at the snap of a finger.
And they have names and home addresses
Small businesses don’t have the resources to buy politicians so they lose out. The system doesn’t work for them.
Works for me too...
Ditto.
The communist governor did close them down. The patriotic restaurant owners a defying the illegal orders.
Pretty bad when they close the Middleburg Livestock Auction Snack Bar
There are so many restaurants closing here in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area that there is a restaurant liquidation auction every single evening, and that’s just one auctioneer.
F Gov Wolfe and his tranny health czar.
He needs to be held responsible for this crap, where are the men of Pennsylvania
