A Navajo Nation woman got in line two hours early and was the first customer to enter the new Olive Garden in Farmington, New Mexico.

"I came up from the Navajo Nation and got here at 2 p.m. because I promised my family a table," Rose Lee, who lives in Shiprock, told The Farmington Daily Times.

Lee was soon joined by hundreds of other diners for the opening. The restaurant was filled to its 222-person capacity in minutes, the paper said.
