I had all kinds of great suggestions, until I saw your price limit.
You're in a sticky situation. You don't want to buy a department store bike, because they're junk, but you're pretty limited in your price range for buying from a bike shop, especially as far as mountain bikes go. You're not going to get a very great bike for that kind of money. If you were to double your price range to around $500 you can start to get good performance for cheap.
It might be a moot point though--if you're just going to be riding on moderate terrain, and nothing too extreme, you won't really notice the difference between a $250 and $500 bike that much.
