Reviews
Michele Kowallis: “I did Let’s Play Music with my oldest several years ago and LOVED the program. So when I heard Karalynn was teaching it, who I met as a parent in the same program, I was so excited to be able to continue my other two children in the program with her. Miss Kara is awesome with the kids, enthusiastic and a wonderful teacher. It is worth the investment of time with your child and money to have a great foundation in music! *BONUS* I started learning right along with them to play the piano….something I have always wanted to do!”
Two of my kids have gone through the Let’s Play Music program. Karalynn is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The kids learned a lot and so did I. We miss the program.
My little girl loves this music program. Karalynn does a fantastic job!
3. 100% Smoke Shop
Address: 1498 W Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
Best smoke in town by far!! Great selection of every thing. Has something there for everyone!
It was Ok’ not to bad
Smell was so bad I almost turned and left. Huge selection of tobacco products, not much for alternatives. Guy left me paying, had to tell someone to come push a button so I could finish. Be prepared to pay $1.04 service fee if you need to use a card. Large selection of glass.
I like this place.. they have an awesome selection and GREAT prices!!! I’m from Oregon and their prices on glass and vape products are less than half the cost up north. Great little find. 🙂
Convenient and a great selection of smoke products.
Take your business elsewhere. They are charging $104 for a $90 product that I found at a different location for $70. They refused to negotiate the price & we’re very rude / called me a liar when they clearly heard the conversation I had with the other location over the phone on speaker. Overpriced, rude & scamming you basically.
I quit smoking cigarettes!
4. Finesse Lounge
Address: 144 W Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
Good people, good friends, good times, if you’re looking for somewhere to go and relax with a good drink and good friends, then this is the place to go.
I really like what I see I can’t wait when I start going there
Nice dive bar. Good hookah
New manager its really nice.
One of the guy bar tenders is hot! Lol
Cute little spot. Wasn’t too crowded when my party and I arrived. The service and patrons were good. My only complaint was that I ordered three different mixed drinks; a Scooby snack, a cranberry vodka and finally an adios and felt absolutely nothing. The drinks were priced at cocktail prices $8+ and were on the small side. None of them tasted or had the effect of any alcohol in them. After receiving the adios weak I ordered a shot of vodka to dump in it that cost $6. After mixing it and taking a sip I still did not taste it, I smelt the shot glass and sure enough smelt like nothing. Vodka definitely has a smell straight. I asked one of the bar hops who was collecting glasses to sniff it for me and he said the same thing that it had no smell. Felt like I was charged $6 for a shot of water. He let the bartenders know but they did nothing to remedy the situation. Ultimately we left after this. The people I was with were ordering beers and ipas and had no issues with their drinks. In conclusion nice spot for the ambiance and beers or ipas but save your money if you’re ordering mixed drinks.
Uhhh, from the pictures, it looks like an upstanding place. Pulled up, and club and rap was playing excessively loud… I thought this was a lounge?! Far from it, more like a ghetto dive. No
A do drop in!!
Bar rescue…..how can a bar in a little town possibly survive? Certainly not by bringing in a TV show and the people from the show go around and get neighboring businesses shut down to try and get business for themselves. That seems like a foolish plan in a little place such as banning, ca. Considering to many of us know each other and likely will now never go to your establishment. Good luck but certainly you will continue to lose money until you can stand it no longer and shut down permanently. So good luck.
And I’ve been to this place it’s a dump…..
5. Banning Thunder Deals
Address: 1434 W Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
Best deals around. Hit or miss on some items, but you are paying penny’s to the dollar on items. It’s like a treasure hunt.. so addictive
Awsome
What a fun place to browse and find cool stuff at reasonable prices! Staff is friendly and welcoming, and knows their repeat customers. Will definitely do more shopping here soon! It changes every week!
Good location packed with Amazon returns Friday-Wednesday with good deals on items. My only take away is that this location had the best deals on Fridays for top tier items but they started selling them separately but not for the price they have advertised throughout the store which is a deal breaker for me and allot other customers.
Love this place, great deals
Good find! Nice guys!
Good place but need to change there hours it says there opens Wednesday but they chase us away
We used to come here often but as of lately the bins are just filled with trash. (Empty boxes, items missing power cords, EXPIRED food, etc) they take anything worth buying and place it behind the counters charging more than advertised. I’ll never be going back here unfortunately. They had boxes of frito lay chips that had expired in 2021…
dirty, dirty, dirty

Address: 266 N San Gorgonio Ave, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
I always find what i need st Dollar General.. Workers are friendly… I shop at any dollar general ..
The staff was super friendly and helpful
Lots of stuff very inexpensive!
They take food stamps
I appreciate the friendliness of the cashiers at this location and their willingness to help me find what I need. Always smiling and asking if I need anything else really helps make it a good shopping experience.
First of the month and only one checker.
Line when down the length of front counter and then down the adjacent aisle.
15 or more people in line and 1 checker!
Very rude employees. Not satisfied at all with service.
Ok
9. Beaumont Music Centre
Address: 725 Beaumont Ave, Beaumont, CA 92223 , Banning , California , United States
My son and I both take music lessons here and always have a great time learning. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I recommend this place for beginners and for those trying to refresh your skills.
What an incredible gem here in the pass! The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, and all of the interactions I’ve had in the eight months I’ve been taking lessons have been exceptional! Worried about getting started as an older student? This is the place! The diversity of students really speaks to the range of comfort levels you will find here. Absolutely recommend if you are considering picking up a new hobby (or dusting off an old one!) For guitar, there’s no one better suited than Lilibeth – she’s taken me from terrible awkward strumming to confidently playing at open mics (gotta start somewhere, right?). Check out Beaumont Music Centre and see for yourself!
Beaumont music center is the best they have helped me from buying my first guitar to my first bass all the way up to buying my professional gear. They’ve also helped with repairs and general tuneups on my guitars. Supper friendly annd professional and best of all they are family owned!
Don’t think twice on giving them a shot you won’t regret your experience with them.
Beaumont music center me a ayudado a conseguir varios instrmentos desde mi primera guitarra a lo que tengo ahora para mis tocadas profesionales.
Tambien ma ayudaron con reparaciones y tune ups en general siempre tienen buenos precios!
No duden en darles la oportunidad de trabajar con ellos crean que no se arrepentiran!!
Great place awesome prices 100% recommend
Very nice people
Good prices and friendly help
10. Chateau 225 Marketplace
Address: 225 W Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
Really cool cafe. Great food and really big portions. Will definitely be back
Modern cafe run by a local family open most of the day. Much better option than fast food if you are driving by on the highway. Extremely friendly and attentive staff serving a combination of California and Mexican meals. There is plenty of parking behind the building. Come visit downtown Banning, you will likely see it start to come alive in the next couple years as housing developments move closer and closer.
Without a Groupon this place is expensive.
Great egg sauage muffin. Was there at 2pm today and enjoyed the piano playing as i was leaving. Coffee good too.
The girl working today (July 16th) sucks. Her service is terrible and shouldn’t be trusted to run the store seeing she left the store unattended while she sat in the bathroom on her cell phone. Terrible place, she probably brings the morale down in the workplace. I’d dump her fast
Missing a wow factor.
Girl sitting on counter. No socializing.
The smell in the establishment is quite unpleasant. The workers are friendly but very slow. Waited maybe 30 ish minutes for two coffees and ONE waffle. The waffle by its self being roughly 8 dollars. The food was honestly not the best for the price :\ would not recommend.
12. McDonald’s
Address: 2140 W Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
Drive thru is 24 hours lobby closed at 11pm . i can get my coffee at night
I’m another big fan of McDonald’s it’s gotten really expensive
My kids loved the clean play place. It was a good place to stop and let kids play on our road trip.
When on road trip McD is always my go to for the kids. Stopping at McD for the quick stop with please just about any child. This McD is no exception. Their food and service is on par with any McD you will find anywhere.
I initially gave this place 1 star, because of a bad apple. But i changed it because after i got off work they fix the weakest links mistake with respect.
There was homeless people sleeping in the sitting area all the way on the back and smelled alot like pee and throw up, tables were all dirty,
Too many employees and non of them were paying attention to the sitting area, next time ill rather go to El Gallo giro next door
I always have really bad service you tell him one thing and they do another thing you asked him for a cheeseburger and they give you a hamburger so I always have to go to McDonald’s in Beaumont
I personally don’t eat anything from McDonald’s. The quality & taste has gone downhill for some years now. But today I was asked to get a “Deluxe Breakfast” for my great grandson. Comes with 3 pancakes, sausage hash brown, scrambled eggs, 2 strips of bacon & 2 muffins. Well. Always check your order before leaving as I did. The platter only had pancakes & sausage, nothing else. Knocked on window to get attention & they fixed the rest of order.
Wow, new to the music scene and on point with great tunes. Most of the time when you see someone new to the music scene you have poor mixing and bad sound but Savage Life has a crisp clear and relevant hits.
I was in the mood to hear new and fresh music, so I stumbled on to SoundCloud and heard this great music from SavAgelife Publishing. The musicians are right in the pocket and it’s candy to the ears. I highly recommend everyone check it out. Awesomeness! Two thumbs up!
Woooooooo!!!
Great gear! Great room. The prices are very reasonable as well. Don’t wait! Go make some music! The engineers are very helpful and not full of themselves, which makes for great working environment! The guitar work is 2nd to none!
16. The Modern Music Studio
Address: 623 Beaumont Ave, Beaumont, CA 92223 , Banning , California , United States
Highly recommend Dustin. He immediately responded to my request for a piano tuning and repair quote. He was able to provide an in person review and quote the same day I called and completed the work the following day. The piano sounds new and his pricing was more than fair. My family and I will likely hire Dustin for lessons in the future as well.
Great place! They know their stuff. I have taken guitar and piano lessons at Modern Music Studio…Dustin and John are a wealth of knowledge and ability. Highly recommended.
Prompt and tuned both my pianos well
Very unprofessional.
17. Redbox
Address: 300 S Highland Springs Ave, Banning, CA 92220 , Banning , California , United States
This place is great. Knowledgeable staff. Reasonably priced lessons for most instruments. Wide array of instruments and accessories.
The small town ambiance and ‘classic music store feel’ is not lost on this store. With all the commercial businesses seemingly pushing out the “little guys”…it’s great to be able to connect with good people in this quintessential music shop. I highly recommend this shop to any rookie, hobby player, or enthusiast.
Nice local shop.
Cheap gear for double what it’s worth. However they have great accessories and Lance gave life back to my guitar. He fixed the truss rod and bridge to its highest potential and now my guitar is still playing perfectly
It’s ok
In the amount of time between their posted hours and when they actually opened, I could have gone to Nick Rail and back. From now on, I will.
i got my bass back and it is worse then when i took it in. when i took it in the g string was buzzing on the first fret now it is buzzing on first, second, third and 6 fret on the a string. when i took it back they didn’t give me a refund and we were going to have to pay 60 more dollars on top of the 50 we already paid. When i was there he sat there and called me a liar that there was no buzzing and that the strings were supposed to buzz which they are not supposed to.The entire time he was saying stupid stuff and was really rude so i ended up walking out and having my dad try and help and he got the same thing i did. We talked to my uncle who has been playing music since he was 9 and he said the same thing that what happened wasn’t right and the problem with my bass wasn’t supposed to be there. The old man also messed up the nut on my bass when he put it on because its not centered and it needs to be. DO NOT GO HERE THEY ARE BAD!!
Shady. Get anyone to call back is difficult.
I had 2 instruments left for repair. And one French horn looking to sell to them.
The clarinet was not fixed at all. Still the same problem. They told me to wait for all instruments to be completed to pick them up.
The hofner bass I tried getting repaired, it was a challenge, unfortunately piece needed was unable to be replaced.
I asked them if they would like to buy the bass. They said yes. – Sold the bass to them. Apparently, I’m suppose to know their employee rules however I am not an employee, Glenn called me later saying he was investigating my bass purchase.
Paid for the clarinet, I am not a clarinet player so I had no way of checking it.
As soon as the clarinet player Received it, who was not located in CA at the time, she only took one glance and noticed the problem was not even address not fixed. Long story short Nothing was fixed. And they kept my French horn without telling me yes they would sell it or not. I just got off the phone with Glenn and it was going no where instead he was immediate to pointing the blame in my direction. Poor business ethics.
Reply to owners message from Yelp below:
I tried several times calling the establishment, my messages were not returned. The French horn was not in lieu of payment, I wanted to inquire about an appraisal. Instead, they kept it after it only being there for a week. No Return phone call after someone looked at it. I went back for my belongings, Instead the man repairing my bass was interested in purchasing my bass, I agree since it was not fixable. So I sold it to the establishment as stated to me. I did not seel the bass $350. I have a receipt from Yucaipa Music for $200. It was my FULL intention to gather my belongings. However, due to the part needed for the bass, it took quite some time to locate it. I went into the music store SEVERAL times to check on the work being done. I even played it. Each time I was at the store , the owner Glenn was never there. So because he wasn’t there, he thinks I abandoned it. This is simply not the case. Due to his constant absence from work, he obviously does not know what goes on under his own roof when he is not there. I have Receipt proof , they paid me $200 for my bass NOT $350.

It’s a wonderful place to shop. The employees are very helpful.
Wonderful shopping there!
Great
LOVE Hobby Lobby! The reason I gave it a 4 is because they don’t open enough registers and usually you have to wait in a long line.
Love everything!!! Sales are great!
Nice and clean
Great selection of artsy stuff, way to religiously driven business with thier ‘out there’s opinions. Because I don’t appreciate businesses pushing thier religious beliefs down my throat, I avoid them!
Lines always too long. I’ve had to leave the live twice at the Beaumont one because they can’t seem to know how to open another lane.
Everytime I go into this store I never get greated I also can go right by associate or manager and not even a hi or may I help you I never use race card ayim 57 but I am beginning to think it is I still shop here
