Address: 263 S Liberty St, Waynesboro, GA 30830 , Burke County , Georgia , United States
I enjoy going here because the items are endless and the prices are great. The employees in all locations are friendly and they greet you properly and instantly upon entry.
Love biglots!! move to rural area and so glad at least this place has biglots ❤️
Great selection and good prices. Tried to tip employee helping with carryout…he wouldn’t have it. That is rare and cool.
Me and my 3yrs old spent an hour in here. Store is very clean and employees are helpful and friendly. Christmas items already on shelves.
Smells horrible in the store. For a new store it’s going downhill pretty fast.
Clean,friendly store- prices are competitive with some bargains if you look for them.Worth a look when you are out & about.

Larger than any I have seen. Friendly environment. Prices r great
Always in n out
Close to home. Reasonable prices. Big variety.
Nastiest store there is. One guy checking people out while there a 6 people in line. The manager was doing something sitting on the floir and would not get up to check people out. This store has the worst management.
I use to love shopping here. Terrible Customer Service..
Waynesboro dollar general has nothing ever it it. Workers don’t work and half the time no managers on duty. The worst of them I have every seen.
6. Record & Tape Chateau
Address: 151 N M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Wadley, GA 30477 , Burke County , Georgia , United States
Great place to shop for all things music related with highly-qualified staff.
Great place to shop, helpful people without being pushy
Awesome
Tl;dr Great friendly and professional staff. But be cautious of pricing. Could have paid over $200 normal price!
Pro: Friendly Staff, professional, local, price matching, 10% military discount (when not price matching)
Cons: Very high price $200+ mark up (at least for my product)
My daughter just started band this year in middle school and Portman’s Music was highly recommended by the school. We decided to rent an instrument vs. buying one since percussion was not available early on the year and that’s what she wanted to play. During the band rental meeting at the school we were informed that a portion of the rental fee can be like a savings account towards a purchase later on down the road (up to 13 months). One thing that was not disclosed was that the instrument had to be at least $700 or more. The lady that was assisting us was new and we were the first customers that she helped with the rental contract and did not mention this part. She was very friendly and we were very patient throughout the process.
Fast forward 3 months: We stopped by to switch out instruments, we explored the option of buy an instrument (bell kit). I had asked if the credits would transfer to this purchase but it did not since the bell kit was listed as $439 and was under the aforementioned minimal amount. I was a little upset but could not totally fault the store since I should have done the due diligence and read the agreement thoroughly. I happen to pull out my phone and did a quick Amazon search of the bell kit (Pearl PK910C) and it was listed as $229 ($194.50 with Amazon coupon)! I showed the rep that was assisting us and it was the same model as the one they tried to sell for $439. He also looked on Guitar Centers website and it was listed as $239 as well. Thankfully, he said they were able to price match which is a huge plus! If I hadn’t looked at price prior to purchasing, I would have over paid around $210. Not sure why the difference was so high.
Despite all that, I still decided to go with this local store vs. big box store and online retailers.
Good customer service.
Good and fast service for the musical instruments.
I needed to swap out a Fender California Cable which is covered by a lifetime warranty from Fender. Portman’s is a Fender dealer. They told me I would need the original packaging and receipt for my warranty exchange. Who keeps a receipt and original packaging for a guitar cable? It’s very disappointing to get this kind of customer service from a Fender dealer. Apparently, Portman’s doesn’t honor Fender warranties. There are three guitar players in our house and my wife bought an amp here at Christmas. I told her to never go in this store again. If zero stars was an option, that is what I would rate this store.
I was told over the phone that they had in-store repair for band instruments but when I brought my oboe in, they told me it had to be shipped to their primary shop out of town and it would be a couple week turn around. They could have told me that over the phone and saved me the trip since it was an emergency repair.
Service is terrible. You will not get anyone to speak to I you within the first 45 minutes of you being in the store. It’s definitely your type of place if you don’t like help when shopping for musical instruments.
8. Keyboard Unlimited
Address: 2905 Old Louisville Rd, Augusta, GA 30906 , Burke County , Georgia , United States
Love going to sonic. There tater tots are the BEST! Also I live that they have there happy hour with discounted drinks!
Always a great experience. Food is outstanding
Parking: Always can get parking and place my order
The food was awesome and I keep going back for more.
Cheddar peppers are a good snack.
Decent Sonic
Slow drive through.
I know people make mistakes and no one is perfect but my experience here was not that great. I pulled to window and was told they would be right back with me. I sat for about 3 minutes maybe longer. I tried gettin someone to answer 2 times and finally on the 3rd try someone said “Are you trying to order?” Well yeah or I wouldn’t be sitting here talking into the speaker. The girl said I must have not hit the sensor right and no one’s headset went off to place an order. Nope! I was told they would be right back with me. Finally got order placed and got my food. Got down the road and my chicken sandwich which I ordered just Mayo on had pickles on it plus a plastic bread tie that goes on a loaf of bread. Yes thats right!….a plastic bread tie in the mayo on my sandwich. Way to go Sonic! ♀️
They never get my order right. Often times my food is cold. I had to ask for mtt hot dog to be cooked more . Hot dog was barely warm. They never bring condiments to your car and have to go back to get them and sometimes they don’t bring them back at all .I. never going back. They’ve messed up the last three times
Nice variety of items on display Owner and staff very nice to deal with.
We stopped in passed week such a beautiful little Auntquit shop!
Lots of antiques…excellent selection of smaller items and lots from other vendors ….closed Sunday & Monday…next door has mostly furniture…friendly owner and right downtown
On time, cheerful, friendly, service as indicated. Makes our piano sound grand.
They showed up on time and did a great job. The piano was tuned perfectly and sounds better than ever. Even made some great teacher recommendations. We’ll be calling them back for future tunings.
Nathan was very kind and helpful. The piano sounds perfect!

Address: 1131 Broad St, Augusta, GA 30901 , Burke County , Georgia , United States
Great place for all kinds of music supplies. Employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Very attentive and helpful. Thanks guys!
The Grand Opening was packed. They had a great selection. I’ll Be nice once it slows and your able to hear the instrument your playing rather than 200 other people doing their music but to have a Line6 dealer in town is worth 5 stars off the bat.
The customer service was great. I gave it three stars because my husband bought a speakers and a mixer and the mixer didn’t work. He had to bring it back and deal with that. I never would have thought that going to a reputable store that they would sell things that actually don’t work.
This location recently opened. I had one bad GC experience prior to this one at a different location so I was hesitant to ask questions. But I interacted with 3 different employees who were all eager to assist so I look forward to shopping & having my kids study music there.
Great
Poor lighting in the Djing area, store was very cold. Only 3 controllers to chose from.
Horrible ! Needed equipment had cash and these guys are shiesters and have very small knowledge of actual products trashy people in it to screw us
I purchased some lessons as a Christmas gift. I called and asked to reschedule the first lesson. I talked to a very rude woman who acted like I was inconveniencing her. I later asked them for a refund and they said they could cancel the lessons but I would have to talk to the manager about a refund. He came off as if I was bothering him and explained he has to go to the head of the store and ask for a refund. It is looking like now I am out almost $200 and have not heard anything back and from the sound of the manager I doubt I will get my money back. I highly recommend finding private lessons as this store has rude employees and now they will probably be ripping me off as well.

Excellent customer service. They price match. Love shopping locally.
Very good customer service. Very knowledgeable about everything. Dan was very helpful
Staff is super friendly and willing to work with you to find exactly what you need at a fair, sometimes even negotiable, price.
Very helpfu, knowledgeable, professional staff
Local staff is absolutely fabulous!
Kind and helpful each time I’ve visited. They have gone above and beyond to help us with purchases questions and repairs.
BUT, this is a big nationwide company so when it comes to billing questions or issues you have to call thier customer service line and that is always a big hassle in my experience. You can’t update cards and such online, the wait time to speak to anyone has always been 30+ minutes for me and they often give inaccurate information on pricing and/or billing dates.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for the employees in the actual store being so awesome I’d just go through a different company for my child’s band rental, but they really are that good that I’m willing to overlook the corporate problems
16. Delmac Minute Mart
Address: 602 W 6th St, Waynesboro, GA 30830 , Burke County , Georgia , United States
Best Burger in the world their chicken is so so so GOOD
Fried fish and tater logs are the best ever in Waynesboro when they have it on the hot bar. Coworkers rave about their fried chicken. We have a dedicated “Delmac Day” at work
Miss Donna and Mr David are the truth!!! Great people
It’s okay, but ONLY because it’s the closest store to my house in walking distance. But other than that, he’s very expensive and he DOES NOT accept EBT
Convenient location. Prices are a little high, however they make up for it with friendly conversation and the aroma of what is surprisingly great food. ‘s to the chef
Owner is rude!!! He is trying to run the register and help cook; hire some help!!!! Get rid of the red faced attitude and the bitter lemonade!! Actually, NO STARS!!! I had to choose one star so this would post!! Never again….
Look there’s a lot of things in my life that I like and don’t like and Mayonnaise has always been one of them What I make sure they know not to put it on anything of mine And they didNope not eating this burger
An acquaintance shared her experience recently that she was parked at the establishment in an unmarked spot for their restaurant and was verbally accosted by a female employee. This employee was said to have been unnecessarily rude and insulting for a simple mistake which was quickly rectified by moving her vehicle.
When she got out of her vehicle the employee was still hurling insults and the MANAGER was right there almost proud of her antics. I don’t care if the food is good or not if you have trash employees you won’t get my money, especially if you uphold wrongdoing. Now the spot has been marked smh should’ve been that way in the first place.
17. Millennium Store
Address: 2763 Tobacco Rd # B, Hephzibah, GA 30815 , Burke County , Georgia , United States
I think this store is great. They a average and good selection of string and winds instruments at a cheaper price than other music stores. If you want to buy string instruments go to Kirkwood. Also Kirkwood has lower prices for wind instruments than portmans and they have professional repairs.
Very Helpful! Satisfy customer! Will shop again.
Kirkwood is the best, his entire team is very knowledgeable. I was very surprised to find such quality work in little ole Augusta. Their basic repair skills are on par with the best in Manhattan and their prices are fair. If I lived I Atlanta I would bring my horn here. This is small business at its best.
Very helpful staff. Excellent choices for piano teaching books.
I was lied to… basically an older woman who worked for the store and no longer there stated that after I returned my rental a portion of my monthly fee would be refunded or i could rent another instrument… lies… all lies… A younger gentleman who now works in the store did not want to keep the obligation based on the contract.. PLEASE READ YOUR CONTRACTS.. DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING IF YOU DON’T KNOW … PLEASE READ YOUR CONTRACTS…
Terrible customer service. I brought in an instrument just to be looked at to see whether it needed to be repaired or not. The guy looked at it and gave me attitude while calling it a piece of junk and said that he refused to work on it. He wasn’t willing to work with me at all and offered no reason other than it was a piece of junk. He was extremely rude and inconsiderate. I know I don’t have a $5000 instrument, but at least be polite about it instead of insulting me to my face. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!
Gentlemen upfront extremely nice(thank you for your help and knowledge). I explained the situation and since my employment seemed sketchy I understood. I agreed to do the credit check which is not a soft inquiry it is a hard inquiry which stays on your credit for 2 years and deducts 5 points. But still trying to explain very nicely my situation(never vulgar or raised my voice) the heavy man in back said and I quote “I am not trying to get verbal with you and threaten you in front of your son”. Anyone who has had their identity stolen understands. But I do not appreciate being threatened.
