Eat Here, Not There<br />

Because Valley Dairy is an older<br />
establishment, some people<br />
stated that the restaurant did<br />
not seem as clean as it could be.<br />
Valley Dairy is known for their ice<br />
cream, but multiple people stated<br />
that the ice cream was “icy, watery<br />
<strong>and</strong> low quality.” If you want more<br />
information about Valley Dairy, you<br />
can contact them at (724) 349-6052,<br />

These<br />
four restaurants are not the only<br />
restaurants that are talked about in<br />
<strong>Indiana</strong>. Many people have opposing<br />
views on other restaurants as well.<br />
First, we have Ruby Tuesday, a chain<br />
restaurant located right across the<br />
street from Eat’n Park. People seem<br />
to agree that the food is delicious, but<br />
that it is way too expensive. People<br />
also stated that the wait is always<br />
long, but that the workers are very<br />
well-mannered <strong>and</strong> kind. Another<br />
restaurant many people talk about<br />
is Kim Moon, a Chinese/Japanese<br />
restaurant located at 718 Philadelphia<br />
St. First, people found that<br />
their prices are cheap <strong>and</strong> affordable.<br />
Others have said that it is the best<br />
Chinese restaurant in town. Many<br />
people have also stated that the sushi<br />
is amazing. Another restaurant<br />
talked about in <strong>Indiana</strong> is Perkins,<br />
another chain restaurant similar<br />
to Eat’n Park as it serves breakfast<br />
among other things. Customers<br />
have reported that Perkins has a nice<br />
atmosphere <strong>and</strong> that it is very familyoriented.<br />
Multiple people stated that<br />
the food comes out quickly <strong>and</strong> that<br />
the prices are inexpensive. A negative<br />
review found here is that the<br />
wait can be fairly long. One other<br />
restaurant that has many different reviews<br />
is Romeo’s Pizzeria. Romeo’s<br />
is located at 1112 Oakl<strong>and</strong> Ave. One<br />
major positive thing about Romeo’s is<br />
its late hours – it is open until 3 a.m.<br />
on most nights. Many people find<br />
the pizza <strong>and</strong> breadsticks to be “delicious.”<br />
Other people find Romeo’s to<br />
be too expensive, <strong>and</strong> some find the<br />
service to be “terrible.”<br />
Tres Amigos is the final restaurant<br />
that will be focused on, as it<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> the newer restaurants in<br />
<strong>Indiana</strong>. Tres Amigos is a Mexican<br />
restaurant located at 1540 Oakl<strong>and</strong><br />
Ave. The main positive review found<br />
was that the wait staff <strong>and</strong> service<br />
is “phenomenal.” At this restaurant,<br />
you get an enormous amount <strong>of</strong> food<br />
for a cheap price. The food comes<br />
out “hot, fast <strong>and</strong> delicious!” From<br />
all <strong>of</strong> the reviews, it is apparent that<br />
the most popular item served at Tres<br />
Amigos are the margaritas; they are<br />
strong yet delicious.<br />
So, although there was no clear<br />
winner or loser for the best<br />
<strong>and</strong> worst restaurant to dine<br />
at in <strong>Indiana</strong>, there are many helpful<br />
reviews that can enable a person<br />
to make that decision. In the end<br />
though, it isn’t up to someone else to<br />
make the decision as to where a person<br />
should dine at in <strong>Indiana</strong>. People<br />
need to go out <strong>and</strong> discover that for<br />
themselves.<br />
