Purchased a Squire Bass package, Staff was Friendly and Professional. Very good service. Great store, lots to choose from. Highly recommend.
Great service
Best music store in town, Eric the manager is great.
Pretty good inventory from starter instruments to grand pianos. Laid back atmosphere.
Meh
Going to get my guitar that i bought used there to get it fixed i assumed they would have fixed any imperfections before they put it on a shelf for purchase
Ignored from the time I walked into the store until I left.Walked a circle throughout looking for help only to find employees chatting it up. Both looked up at me and quickly turned away and continued talking to each other. Will never get my business.
I am giving two stars because Matt Waldhoff took the time to speak with us in the store. Other than that, I’m not impressed. We were going to consign an expensive Clavinova with them. Upon looking at the contract emailed to us they wanted 40% of the price it sold for, which was satisfactory with us. What was not satisfactory was even thought they only charged $100 to pick-up the clavinova it appeared from the contract they wanted $100 to deliver it to the new owners. Also, they would take no responsibility for any damage that may occur to the unit while it was in their hands. As we had questions regarding that contract we contacted Matt Waldhoff two times via email, asking him to clarify certain aspects of the contract. He never responded back so I assumed they did not want our business. I ended up selling the clavinova on my own and kept the 40% they would otherwise have received. It is inexcusable to not return emails to clarify a contract and I can only assume he took offense that we had questions regarding a contract where they took the profit, but absolutely no responsibility for damage.
Took in a brand new bass to get a pickup replaced. Not a scratch on it, never played once. The supposedly simple pickup replacement took a week and a half only for them to give me back my new bass with the back of it covered in scratches and a huge glob of dried glue stuck to the fretboard that won’t come off. They absolutely wrecked my new bass before I even had a chance to play it. Worst possible experience. I am sick to my stomach about how poorly they treated my equipment and would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

Boars Bites were a huge quantity for the cost. I had 2 extra meals from them.
Great food, nice staff. We showed up unknowingly 10 minutes before closing, they had no problem serving us and food was still great. I recommend the buffalo chicken horseshoe.
Ordered drinks and when the drinks were brought we placed our order. Wife got her appetizer and we waited 1 hour for a cheeseburger and a pork tenderloin. When the waitress came to ask about another drink, I asked for the ticket and told her to forget the sandwiches. Paid what I owed and left
Possibly the worst service ever in a restaurant. Waited for food for an hour and half and it was hardly warm. They were busy but there is no management. The food is some of the best around but if you don’t have 2 hours to waste don’t come here. The waitress came every 5 minutes saying it would be right out. Whoever owns this joke of a restaurant needs to seriously consider hiring some management.
Hit and miss at best.
5. The Bluegrass Shack
Address: 904 Old Baldwin Rd, New Athens, IL 62264 , Athens , Illinois , United States
A little out of the way, but they have excellent teachers, and a wide selection of instruments to buy or learn.
Such a cool shop with great customer service
The store part is fantastic but when I took lessons, they gave me two lessons and then just stopped talking to me. They wouldn’t return my texts. I went in there and they told me they were full and took my name and number. It’s been a year later and still no availability. I will no longer do business with them.
