Stephanie her trio were absolutely amazing at our wedding this past August. They have truly mastered their craft, and our guests are still talking about the music !! They were definitely the highlight of our wedding day, and we are so thankful we came across them! We will definitely book them again in the future! They were absolutely amazing !!

Fretless Music was hands down the best vendor of our entire wedding. We hired a trio for our wedding day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner-party reception) and couldn’t have been more impressed. SO many guests told us they were thrilled to have live music. Stephanie was extremely communicative leading up to the wedding and just one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. The musicians were professional, prepared, and they executed the wedding day flawlessly for us. I would recommend these musicians to anyone and everyone.

I hired Fretless (string quartet) for my wedding ceremony, and they were amazing! As a musician, it was so important to me to set the tone with a live string ensemble and they delivered. Stephanie was incredibly responsive, thorough, and easy to work with. 10/10.

The finest world class pipe organ.

They do fantastic work. Totally rebuild our 100 year old pipe organ using the original pipes and their sliding chest operating system along with a new console. Everything was first rate. We couldn’t be happier

I tried contacting this company several times within the last year. I never received any calls back. Considering that I called EVERY contact during business hours and had left messages, I am completely appaled by this type of service.

Awful communication. I would not recommend anyone attempt to contact this company for anything.

Came in for a drum repair but they let me know i just needed an adjustment!! Saved me time and money!! Thanx!!

The owner and sole employee keeps irregular hours, asks that you come “by appointment only,” and hardly even responds to texts and phone calls. Friendly guy, good wares, and authentic atmosphere otherwise. He can repair broken instruments for a cost, and makes his own for you to buy. Various types of guitars are available, but the selection is small. Wouldn’t recommend anyone to go to this store, honestly. Probably cheaper than Guitar Center, but it isn’t worth the inconvenience and hassle of getting in touch with the owner just to visit his shop.

Not open on a Monday 2:30

Great customer service at my Broadview Target

I love it .

It’s target

It’s TARGET…’nuf said…

I take away one star because I went here for Birthday candles and they had none in stock. And I was told they dont carry number candles. Bummer… I had to go somewhere else.

It’s a Target, not much more to say.

The checkout lines today were crazy. They were not being managed whatsoever.
Another thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was the fact that this employee (female) checked out a girl, who she appeared to be related to, and then she realized a bunch of other costumers who also had only up to three items to buy were forming a line and she completely ditched them, said she’d be back, and never showed. Those people who hopped out of line to check out their small items had to jump back into the longer lines.
It’d be great if someone was managing self checkout better. Get people in and out.

Customer Service at this store is getting worse. Moving everything doesn’t help the experience. It is rare to see an associate on the floor. Today, I was searching for shampoo. I walked every aisle near the pharmacy from the front of the store to the pet section and only found a small section of “for men” shampoos. I couldn’t find an associate to ask, but spotted the “red phone”. I decided not to use option 1 (have an associate come to the section where the phone is) and chose option 2 (speak to an associate). The woman who (eventually) answered the phone told me that the shampoo was in cosmetics, near the pharmacy, by the razors. I told her that I had walked that section several times and couldn’t find it. I asked if she could tell me an aisle number. “No”, she said, “my advice is to just keep looking.” I thanked her for being SO helpful and asked her name. She hung up on me. I finally found the shampoo section…NOWHERE NEAR THE PHARMACY…in fact on the opposite side near women’s clothing. Thanks for nothing. I strive to buy locally and have been loyal to this store, but this experience has made me question that. Time to find a new store. And, I can always buy shampoo online without wasting my time.

okayy so I had left my wallet in the bathroom right and I called them and they said they didn’t see it so I called them again and they didn’t answer. I called them like 20 times ands they didn’t answer. But one of the times I called I knew they had answers because I could hear myself talking like ‍♀️. Soooooooooooooo

Brought in records for sale. Great transaction. Very helpful. Thanks.

I called and had my records sold within an hour. Brian was courteous and friendly, he reviewed the records on my porch. It doesn’t get any easier than this!

Brian is the best. Very honest and very generous
Process is very easy. Thank you

Good place with records ,but open only 1 day in week and newest music

Just a word of caution. If you are heading out there to buy LPs, don’t go yet! The store front is not yet open.

Would never do business with them again. The records where in my trunk he came outside to check them over. He did it so quickly took don’t know how many n handed me $20. Then rushed away before I could even see what he took.

Checked up local record stores. Found this one one closest too me. I’m not from the area so I Googled it. Said they were open. I drive 20 minutes out of the way. I get here and they’re closed.

I encountered unnecessarily condescending service, and I cant help but speculate that it had to do with my race and the race of the artists of the vinyls I was offering. I felt it was a huge waste of my time visiting the store, and I would not advise visiting to any politically conscious and/or non-white music listeners, curators, or musicians.

*********Edit*************

Respectfully Andy, my records were not “trashed” and many of them were vintage collectors items, and at least one was never opened. I assume that the shop was a vintage/used record store because that is what your advertising implies. If it’s your intention to preserve the quality of the vinyls you recieve I would first advise you put cases in your store so that the vinyls are not simply on the floor where they can be exposed to all kinds of damages as I saw upon visiting.

I will also say that your efforts to cover for your employees microaggressions (in tone and body language) from the public is so predictable for a white run business that exploits the culture and art forms of black and other non-white creators. Even more predictable is your attempts to question the credibility of my experiences as a black person using a performative internet playlist website and an ulterior motive argument.

If your employees (condescendingly) had no intention of buying my records before this review, why would they buy them after I leave a negative review. There is even less a reason to do business with me. Rather than attempting to erase my experiences with explanations, I think your time would be much better spent attempting to reduce the microaggressions your employees signal to non-white customers through condescension.

Great customer service

Love

Love them

I use to love this location but it hasn’t been the best since they re-open. The weekends are terrible. I stop coming here because they just don’t know how to make drinks anymore. Also I like to note that I had order a drink and the guy at the window judge my drink while he handed me my order. Awful experience. He was large gentlemen with a beard and glasses I believe. It was in the evening when this incident occurred. I do not need rude commentary while I receive my order. Shame on that guy.

I truly appreciate the great service. My fur babies enjoyed their pupachinos

I think this location needs a little Star bucks retraining it’s ok but I had a feeling like I was just a number .. I did get breakfast sandwiches and I got down the road and bit it ..was still cold in the middle and dark on the outside ..not sure why that happened here a few times. ..but coffee is good there are a few who are very good at the coffee.. I would still go back again like I do ..but I’ll just use drive up and be a number 😉

Service at this starbucks is so horrendous. My drink was made wrong and then when I received it the second time I could tell the barista didn’t even grab a new cup because the inclusions were still in it. I was so polite but the workers are so careless and rude. The service gets worse every time I go to this location.

Overpriced. Drive thru line creeps ever so slowly.

We didn’t get to order. Everything we tried to get, they were out of ingredients. They were out of the caramel drizzle, strawberry mix in for a refresher, and a bunch of other ingredients. After trying to order other things on the menu and finding out they didn’t have the main ingredients to make it, we just ended up leaving. While that wasn’t the greatest experience, this place is usually on it. The baristas are always super quick and friendly. The cashier did try to offer up suggestions for things they had ingredients for, but it just wasn’t what we were looking for.

Amazing deals, 10/10 would recommend. Employees there are nice and their products are quality

Great store

Goof and clean store. Good prices

This establishment is horrible!! The owner is an Indian/Arabic American. He is rude as ever. He talks down to his customers and employees. ESPECIALLY women!!! Be ware. I would never recommend anyone to go to this place. He has people underage working as well!

I go out of my way to support this smoke shop because ALL of the employees are so knowledgeable and helpful, but I just met the owner and he was so rude. He didn’t greet me, half answered my questions, kept his head down on the phone the whole two min I was in there. I’m really disappointed.

It’s ok I think , it everytime there a new price on everything

Got my 45 year old trombone cleaned and checked over. The slide is working the best it ever has. Also, a great selection of music. So nice to be able to look at an entire book instead of a sample page or two.

They are small but mighty. I will be going here for more sheet music in the future.

Great service… been renting violin for 3 yrs and they are always responsive and helpful

Yearly music by the pound sale is AMAZING

The teachers are great but the instruments and rentals are not so great, since the recent downsize, you can’t find some things there.

way over priced

Extremely unprofessional. We got on the wait list, waited 2 months and got a call saying they had a spot for our day and time. We returned the call the next day saying we wanted to start as soon as possible. Office called us back saying the the instructor, Elizabeth Olson, should be calling us to make the final arrangements. She called the Sunday of MLK weekend, we were with family the next two days. We connected Tuesday and she wanted to do an assessment on the day we agreed on but a time that didn’t work and wasn’t agreed upon. She said she understood and arranged the following week on the original agreed upon time and day. We accepted, then she messages us and said she found another client that would use the extra day and bumped us out. When we questioned her motive, she said this is just business.

Nice PLACE FOR STEPPERS

Very good time

Nice atmosphere, cozy, relaxing and most of all good music.

Nice low key spot

Great place to have an adult birthday party

Very nice, adult crowd and friendly service. Have 4 parties there.

I wouldn’t recommend comedy night on the first Sunday of the month, the M’cee is disrespectful the crowd is young & rowdy a lot of the comedians are not funny at all. But the fact that they welcome young talent is great. Other then that don’t waste your $20.

Their customers are always parking on private property. And the music is so loud. Eddie thinks everyone should accommodate his customers ignorant customers.

I wouldn’t call this a club. I would call it a neighborhood tavern. Disappointing.

I’ve been shopping with Kay since I was 16yrs old I’m 35 now; need I say more?! Lol

They have anything that you need for beauty and hair. Great customer service and they are very friendly.

Love it..hair selection..never ending….

They need some additional help or employees!

Lots of hair to choose from

It took me along time to support this store when I first moved out here. The owners attitude was the same as most store owners toward people of color. She has gotten better. She still hasn’t hire any. We are her largest consumers.I’ve been out here since 2000-01.

The owner’s son is rude as hell. Had to remind him that the customers in this neighborhood is the reason why your mom is able to successfully stay in this area for so long. He needs a lesson in customer service!!!

The service has declined here over time. The aisles and products are crowded and not organized. The parking here is not ideal. There are other choices, I won’t return

This is an update. I went to the beauty supply for one item and they were playing music videos on a television facing the employee side of the registers with the rappers saying the N and B word. It was inappropriate and disrespectful because black women patronize their business. Sometimes kids are in the store with their mothers. Outrageous

They are always so rude will not be returning

Always clean the best resale shop around

Friendly workers and good prices!

Great staff, good quality new and used items,

Too expensive. Most items in good shape but could be cheaper.

My favorite place…..❤ it

It is big with a ton of stuff. Everyone appears to be kind and the prices are very reasonable. They have a free book bin in the front that always has books in it. They are open late on Thursday.

How can you possibly stay in business or generate any revenue for your beneficiaries by being open to the public from 10-4 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You might as well just close.

I’m only giving 1 star due to I have to in order to leave my review. First off, the prices are way too high to be a used store. Second, the employees are very rude and racist. My mother sat at the register for 20 minutes waiting for an employee to assist her with checking out and neither lady would assist her. They were to busy holding a conversation. And when one of the employees did come to the register she looked my mom in her face and walked away. That right there is what I called rude. Do not shop here.

I went in today to donate a Christmas village willingly being nice but the older guy in receiving was extremely nasty mean and rude so I left wow will never stop by again

Thanks

Absolutely pleasant and welcoming staff! Thank you Candace for the bright Good Morning. Keep wearing that White Sox jersey!

Excellent Experience very nice and friendly atmosphere great customer service the young man was very polite and professional

They always have great ice cream

Nice staff. Clean, lively decor. Convenient location. Nice music.

Depending on the location, the counter ladies were awesome.
I mistake the order, she fixed it no issue, made everything correct.
Like I wrote, depending on the DDBR good workers.

This will be the 5th time I had a problem at this location and I’m not one to write emails or talk to anyone regarding a franchise. Around 6:20pm 01/22/2021 I pulled into the drive through in hopes of getting ice cream…not only did I not get ice cream but I waited in the drive through for 10min without any response from a crew member. So I pulled up to the window and not one worker was in site so I pull to the front and still see no workers. So my last attempt was to call and a worker picked up the phone and was very unprofessional, I asked if their location was opened and was told the drive-through was but not the inside which I already knew. So I pull back into the drive-through and had to wait an additional five minutes. To then find out that they closed the ice cream section…now I don’t no if that is something new but I’ve been getting ice cream for years we’ll beyond 6pm. The staff is rude, they are never at their stations, for what ever reason you can never get soft serve at this location, and always claim they don’t have what they are promoting/advertising on their windows . Extremely disappointed

I went at 9:20pm 10/5 and they said “ The ice cream is down they are about to close”

Horrible service like three months ago I order a 2 capuchino blast and ice cream thru Uber eats the first thing the person from Uber was driving a bike and then my order was incomplete I didn’t receive my ice cream I order n my my capuchino was not cover or did not came on paper bag and were are in pandemic and now every time i try to order again from this location they take my order but five minutes later they cancel my order

Bought an outstanding guitar from Tobias music. I live a couple thousand miles away, so I was taking a bit of a chance, buying a guitar I’d never played from a shop I’d never visited, but I’m glad I did. Paul Tobias sent me sound clips when I inquired about the guitar, answered all the questions I had…. When I made the purchase, our transaction was trouble-free, fast, and friendly. They shipped the guitar the next business day. It arrived three days later, well-packed and in pristine condition. Setup was right on the money: the guitar is eminently playable, and sounds awesome. I would have no hesitation about buying another guitar from Tobias.

Quality instruments? 100%
Knowledgeable and helpful staff? 110%

I’m so impressed with this shop! I love acoustic guitars and clearly this family does too. Just purchased a beautiful new Martin at a very fair price. It is notable how well they take care of their instruments. There are hygrometers and humidifiers abound. Every guitar we took off the wall had fresh strings and was in tune (how often can you say that?).

The father and son owners were extremely well versed, informed, thorough, funny, and kind. It was fun just to hang out with them and talk guitars.

I’d never been to this shop before today, but if I’m in the market for any sort of guitar – this is absolutely my first stop.

They also have a really cool new venue adjacent to the shop where they plan to book concerts. If you live locally you owe it to yourself to stop by. I live about 30 miles away and I’ll be back for sure.

Thanks again for a great experience.

Pop’s did a great job on my Taylor 314ce. I’ll be back . . .

They are more of a acoustic guitar place not really a place for bass players .

***EDIT***
So, I am knocking down my review from five stars to three; due to my most recent experience a couple months after the first one. So I reached backout to buy another guitar (place order) as I really wanted an AD22e or another model I can’t remember, but after confirming they could place the order I let them know that I wanted the AD22e and to provide me the full price so we could close the deal and they went silent, mind you I didn’t even get a copy of the receipt from my AD27e that never came which I had also requested from the last conversation.

I did finally get my guitar ordered but I had a national retailer place the order. I was disappointed I didn’t hear back from Tobias Music about completing the purchase and obtaining a copy of the receipt for my AD27e that never came.

** original **

Just bought an AD27e (Taylor) from them after finding it for sale online. it was a great buying experience. I’m a lefty, buying guitars online is the norm, and most of the time guitars I buy take a day or two to pack and ship. we had a few emails back and forth and they were quick to respond and very professional. These guys had it packed and shipped the same day, and I didn’t place my order until after lunch; that’s service.

They also took the time to dial the guitar in; it came with the action set and was tuned ready to play out of the box. Paul did a great job and really made this buying experience easy, and hassle free. I’ll have to check back often to see what other lefty guitar they get in. If I have the chance, I will buy from them again.

Contemporary environment, nice staffs. Tried out the touch screen order system and table service. have to say I am not yet used to have someone deliver my food to my table in McDonald’s!

Great

McDonald’s on Clark and Addison incredibly long wait time ,manager very rude ,if you order online or any delivery they make you wait in long line they should have food ready

Better but not good enough

Big Mac attack.

A little slow behind the counter.

Cold not freshly made

Almost late for work because I had to wait on the side of drive thru because they didn’t have any hash browns ready for breakfast.

I ordered Two big Mac meals, I asked for light on the sauce that they put on them and I had to wait an extra probably 8 minutes. They came with more sauce than normally. Like all fast food places, they Never seem to listen.
