Kim Moon - Indiana PA

Kim Moon Restaurant in Indiana PA is your average Chinese takeout. It is located just down from the courthouse on Philadelphia Street. The food quality there I feel is above the quality of many other Chinese takeout restaurant, but on the other side, each time I have been there, the service has been a bit lack luster and the food was very slow.

I have eaten their Amazing Chicken, General Tso's Chicken and Szechuan Beef. I really like the beef and the two chicken dishes were pretty good. The definitely make up for the slightly disappointing service.

The Coney - Indiana Pennsylvania

The Coney in Indiana Pennsylvania is one of my favorite places in town. Its on the end of the main drag of Philadelphia Street in down town. They are an Irish Pub that serves predominately well known European dishes as their specials. I've personally had their Fish and Chips, Shepard's Pie and the Oktoberfest special that they occasionally run which were all very good. The restaurant is a dim lit pub styled diner with a lot of European decor.
If you do go, I recommend spending a bit extra for their Homemade Seasoned Potato Chips. They are thick cut home style chips tossed in one of their house wing sauces. I always get them and recommend, Honey Hot, they are delicious and worth every penny.
I cant remember what the entree was, but the German potato salad
 was delicious and you can get a look at those awesome chips!
Oktoberfest Special
The last time I was in Indiana, we went to The Coney twice and unfortunately, I forgot what the first thing was I got, but I can guarantee, I have never had anything I didn't love from The Coney. The second Meal I had was the Oktoberfest Special.

The Oktoberfest came with kielbasa, a bratwurst, perogies, red and white kraut and spiced applesauce. The dish was very, very good, and my only complaint was that I couldn't fit a bite of everything onto one forkful. Each item accompanied the other very well. There were so many great combinations in this dish, I was finding myself mixing and matching each item until I found the perfect combination.


Food Quality: 9.5 / 10  -  Menu is predictable, but each meal is done perfectly.
Portion Size: 9 / 10  - Perfect sized portions, although protein, veg, starch can be unbalanced.
Service: 8/10  -  Service is very friendly and keeps up on the table fairly well
Environment: 8 / 10  -  Very cozy
Cost: 8 / 10  - Price is pretty reasonable

Indiana Pennsylvania

Indiana County Pennsylvania has been one of may favorite places to work. I started, and was trained in Indiana and the system and clerks are amazing there.I have had the opportunity to go back to Indiana several times and am always happy to see that request letter.

Indiana county's seat is Indiana, Pennsylvania. Two things that the town is famous for is Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the birth place of Jimmy Stewart. The town is moderately large with several different hubs. Each of which have multiple dining possibilities.

All records are located within the courthouse. Through the main entrance to the left is the records room which contains all deeds, orphans court, estate, and similar documents. The old deeds are located below that main record room and newer ones on a computerized system. To the right of the entrance is the prothonotary and taxes, upstairs.

My recommendations are to stay at the Hampton inn there if you are traveling. The staff there is wonderful and the location is off the main drag but not too far off.
