Cool
This is a nice locally owned music store. Very good selection of guitars and other musical instruments. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stop by and support a small business!
10. McDonald’s
Address: 1215 S Lewis St, Metter, GA 30439 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
Shoutout to Tatyanna for being super pleasant and knowing the menu when I couldn’t find what I was looking for in the drive through even though I rolled up at 11:30 at night.
The burger tasted like meat with vegetables in-between two slices of oven baked bread
Ok
Never in my life have I seen something like it…chewed up chicken nuggets in my CHILDS box….. this makes me livid and it’s so uncalled for. NEVER should this have been served EVER. Usually my experience at this McDonald’s is good but this did it for me. Also took 4 times to get the meals right over the intercom and then proceeded to get an attitude with us. Sorry you can’t hear. Just unbelievable. We will not be back. Yall watch your food.
I wrote a check a double cheese no mustard no pickle it had both and the bun was hard as a rock
Arriving at 10:38pm, I pulled up to the drive thru speaker. After several minutes I googled the restaurant to be sure that it was open and, according to Google, the restaurant should not close until 11pm. Also, all lights/ signs/ menus were still lit with associates parked outside….closing over 20 minutes early, really?!
11. Candler Machine Inc
Address: 1155 Lillian St, Metter, GA 30439 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
I enjoy patronizing this family owned local business.
Very satisfied with the service thus far. Great prices and they were very hands on. They even took time out to explain to my son the importance of taking care of his instrument and how he could pay his way through college.
Ms. Loretta is the best!
Good relationship over the years; owner very involved in the community.
Repairs are a bit expensive but worth it.
Very nice people.
The ABSOLUTE WORST customer service EVER!!!!!! EVER, EVER, EVER!!! I have NEVER had anyone yell at me that is supposed to be providing a service. NEVER! You are taking this neighborhood for granted and it will stop. You should be ashamed.
they keep lying about there time they need to update it
I called about lessons, the guy that works there was rude and not helpful. I’ll take my money elsewhere, oh and I inquired online first….still no answer. they wont be here long.
13. Atlanta Musicians Exchange
Address: 2619 Lawrenceville Hwy, Decatur, GA 30033 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
Owner Mike is a good guy, cool selection of gear. Support local shops!!!
Great no-nonsense music shop. Nice folks who tell it like it is and don’t try to “sell at you.” For those of us on a budget, they give great prices, honest opinions, and genuine smiles!
Atlanta Musicians Exchange is my favorite music store in Atlanta. Mike has sold several guitars and bass guitars for me. I have also purchased guitars and drums from Atlanta Musicians Exchange. Mike has also turned and old Ludwig floor tom into a cool little kick drum for me. If you are looking a cool independently owned music store… this is the place for you! Love this store!!!! ROCK ON!!!
The repair shop sucks
I spoke with the most racist person that I’ve come across in a long time, I think it was the owner. My child called the store on the 4th of July (several times because he is a child and did not realize that businesses are actually closed on the 4th of July). I was unaware that he called so many times. The following day I received a VERY nasty and distasteful message on my voicemail. When I returned the call, I wasn’t even given a chance to speak. He was yelling, using profanity and hung up on me. I will definitely tell everyone I know not do business here and I do not recommend doing business here (especially people of color). I will also post it on my social media pages.There are far too many Music stores that actually respect their customers.
After looking at other reviews, it seems that the owner is just a jerk by nature. I didn’t even see any responses to good reviews, only negative ones. So apparently you enjoy tounge wrestling. I feel sorry for the people that have to deal with you daily. Bless you anyway sir.
Update: Every business was NOT closed. I didn’t call my son did several times. You left a nasty vm on MY phone. And who has no class?? It’s definitely you…
The photo of the wall of guitars is pretty much their entire stock. I’ve seen low-end pawn shops that are less cluttered.
14. Allseasons Music Store
Address: 460 W Cherry St, Jesup, GA 31545 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
5 stars aren’t enough! They will beat any price. Will order anything you want if they don’t have it in stock. More importantly they treat you like family and not just another person spending money. Highly recommended for all your School Band, Church Band, or whatever band you are into to get you everything you need to sound great.
Very clean well arranged store. Workers are very knowledgeable and helpful.
Great people really good service would have given 5 stars but prices are not competitive
At least 15% higher than Guitar center
Man they’ve got some nice stuff in there!
It’s ok for this size town but if you’re looking for music you have to order it. Very nice personnel.
15. Firehouse Guitars & Music
Address: 612 Medlock Rd, Decatur, GA 30033 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
Awesome customer service! If you live in or around Decatur you should visit. I got such a great deal I drove over an hour one way to do purchase it. I was in communication with them for multiple days and they helped me pick out exactly what I needed. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future.
My son has taken lessons with Mr. Shane at Firehouse Guitars for a couple of years, and he loves it. Music is not a natural talent for him, but Mr. Shane found a way to connect with him (Star Wars on Uke!). I also love Firehouse because it is a great, local shop that gives back to the Decatur community.
Super helpful folks! I got help restringing my guitar and they made it look brand new in the process. They answered my every question and made me (and my many questions) feel welcome. I’ll be back!
This is a pretty good little store. I bought my guitar and amp here
Rip off.go elsewhere. I use to really like bringing my daughter here but they must be under new management. Prices have gotten ridiculous!!!
16. Ken Stanton Music
Address: 5236 Stone Mountain Hwy, Stone Mountain, GA 30087 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
Michael was very helpful. Purchased a Congo set and Tiambles set for my son.
Im glad to see the store back open and doing well. When I need new gear or sell my old gear for the band Ken Stanton Music is the place that makes the best deals in town ask for Skip
I was looking for an amp and found one here for a price that was a little cheaper than the ones I was finding on Amazon. Check here before you buy online- they’ll save you some money!
The shop has a big selection for its size and the staff are helpful but not pushy. We found just what we were looking for and enjoyed browsing the guitars and other strings.
They’re very nice and respectful and helpful
Great service
literally came in to buy a guitar I had saved for got it down hit a few notes was stoked about getting it. Was pretty much pulled from my hands and said has to be clean now??? If employees so freaked out about covid really should not be working. Now hoping guitar that I ordered will feel as nice as that one …
Yo tuve una mala experiencia, compre dos bocinas turbosound, una estaba mala y no quisieron cambiarla, pagué dinero extra para que la arreglaran, acaso la tienda no te da garantía? Jamás vuelvo a comprar en esa tienda, ya llevan dos meses que no me arreglan la bocina.
I would give ZERO starts if possible.. Went there 3 times within 5 days and kept getting the run around.. Ended up with nothing.. They are horrible and i would not recommend them to anyone.
17. Music & Arts
Address: 5213 Memorial Dr, Stone Mountain, GA 30083 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
We’ve been coming here for months for lessons and I can’t say enough about Mr. Keltner and Ms. Kelly. They are phenomenal. Such a great staff. Dallas is a great instructor. Overall a Great location highly recommended and we appreciate all their hard work.
I brought my daughter here to see about getting the lower half of her clarinet fixed. The two gentleman working were very helpful and professional. We left our clarinet there to get sent off for repairs and while we wait we got a rental clarinet. The process was headache free and quick!
Always pleasant staff working. Never a bad visit. They go above and beyond to help customers. I was able to order stick from another location thanks to Kelly!
It had what I needed, so that was good. However, the staff seemed like they would’ve loved to be anywhere but at work.
18. Musician’s Warehouse
Address: 245 N Lumpkin St, Athens, GA 30601 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
Great local shop with friendly personal service. Support your loconomy!
Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Just purchased a 12-string and the buying experience couldn’t have been better.
Fantastic selection, great prices, and stellar people. Everyone was incredibly knowledgable and super helpful. Definitely my go-to music store in Athens.
Could be a little more organized. Drum area needs more open space. And more displayed of items. Seems pretty congested.
Very nice store but not a great variety of guitars
Check out the new location!
Really wanted to like this company. I was cheated and conned, and after a week with zero communication I contacted them. They fumbled around for another day or two then stated they couldn’t find the item. I was left empty handed and confused. No attempt at finding the item or ordering another. Nothing. Zip. C’mon guys!
Poor selection. If you like grandpa guitars this is the place. Wouldnt recomend to any modern guitar players.
Dude I’m not sure what happened. The first floor is desolate (empty for everybody that’s currently reading this while dunk). I understand social distancing, but I’m I am attending Warehouse, I do not care about the current situation, I’m here to rave. Open the first floor for a mosh pit.
19. T. Warner Artists | Live Music, DJ, & Entertainment Production
Ben and Michael are amazing. They are so easy to work with and they sound amazing! They bring everything for both an acoustic setup as well as an awesome DJ setup.
Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with. He and Mike are so talented and definitely wowed our guests. Having found someone that could play beautiful ceremony music and also run our reception was such a blessing! It really helped ease my mind, because Ben was such a true professional from the beginning. He communicated with me regularly, and certainly seemed to understand our intended vibe for the evening. Not only was planning/coordinating with Ben a breeze, but I’m BEYOND happy with how our entire day went, and he was a big part of that. I honestly wish I’d been able to be a fly on the wall to hear more of the pre-ceremony music, but our guests gave me glowing reviews. I felt like all of our guests were up and enjoying every minute of the reception, too. And not just at the bar. So many guests danced the night away! We felt you really protected the integrity of the party we were looking for, while also being accommodating to our last-minute requests. He kept things moving without a hitch. I would highly recommend working with Benjamin T Warner Acoustic DJ, and know I will be sure to again for any future similar needs.
He did an outstanding job at my son’s wedding! Music was perfect, not too loud. He engaged the guests and everyone had a great tine!
Overall great DJ, tried his best during our rainy wedding, we had a great dance party and I would recommend.
Felt there was a lack of communication, including unanswered emails and our track for the daddy daughter dance didn’t get played correctly so I can’t give a perfect score.
My husband and I booked Ben Warner for his services for our September 2020 wedding. We paid him for most of the services ahead of time. While COVID was still a large factor, we communicated with his business partner and wife through email in case anything were to fall through. We even discussed having him primarily play outside to stay safe. Up until a little over a month before our wedding, he cancelled on us- after several discussions leading us to believe that would not be the case.
While we totally understand a vendor cancelling for COVID reasons, we were not prepared for them to keep all of our money paid to them. They stated that because they had coordinated EMAILS to secure other musicians for our wedding, the fees we paid to them (>$800 if not more) would cover services rendered. These musicians were not going to be playing at our wedding so I’m not sure what services they meant.
All in all, I was devastated that Ben and his wife would take advantage of us and other people this way. It was heartbreaking to have to scramble and find someone else last minute when they had MONTHS to make the decision to cancel us.
I could even understand only giving us a partial refund, but they took every single penny. This was the only vendor that did this to us. Anyone else who canceled us, refunded us.
We were at fault in that our contract didn’t cover unexpected pandemics and there was no clause about them cancelling on us in the contract so we just lost our money.
While I’m sure Ben Warner is a talented musician and DJ, he does not care about their clientele. They have no problem stealing from their clients as was made evident to us later on. It felt slimy and dishonest.
There are plenty of other talented musicians and DJs in this area- consider them before Ben, especially if COVID is still around. He will take your money so fast and give nothing in return
Ben Warner failed to render agreed upon and contracted services and refused to refund any monies from deposit after he terminated.
On January 2019, we contracted services with a deposit for $627 for a June 2020 wedding. We had close communications during May 2020 to ensure Ben T Warner would be able to work the wedding worship with all of the uncertainties of the virus and executive orders of North Carolina. It appeared that they were noncommittal in April & May to the extent of recommending to us that we get another company to do the event. They canceled only 18 days prior to the event. At the time, NC actually had exceptions for weddings and funerals that allowed us to proceed. Fortunately we were able to scramble and find another vendor.
20. Music Trader
Address: 3964 Lawrenceville Hwy, Tucker, GA 30084 , Candler County , Georgia , United States
Music Trader is an Atlanta institution! I remember when I was 8 years old in 1986, my dad driving passed Music Trader with their brightly colored sign that caught my eye. I remember purchasing my first guitar in my late teen’s (1998) and needing equipment and finally getting to go inside. I just recently bought another guitar and I needed some things. I live far away from Tucker, but when I drove through, there it was still in operation!! Paul is helpful and even opened a few minutes early to help me! If you have musical needs, visit Music Trader! This is only music company I shop with.
We got two guitars from this gentleman along with a case a two straps and we couldn’t be happier. He’s very knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect guitar for us, shame I don’t live here anymore otherwise I would check this place out regularly!
This place looks like it needs a little love, but that belies the treasures that lie inside. This is an excellent place to find/trade music gear, but it doesn’t have everything, and you will need to check in frequently to see what has come in. The owner, Paul, is a font of knowledge, and I end up either walking away with the equipment I need or more understanding about that equipment. My two boys and I have been building up a tiny Christmas concert that we’re doing, and we enjoy our visits here. I highly recommend that you come, meet Paul, and spend some time here. It only takes 5 minutes to see if they have what you’re looking for, but you might find yourself spending a little more time just because of the friendliness and service.
It is a good shop. Paul is a good guy. They’re are often hidden gems.
Worst place I’ve ever stopped up this place is super racist I don’t see myself coming back in to a clutter filled place with bad customer service
Prices to high for old equipment
Guy did not care about my business, did not treat me right, does not care about the questions I asked, made me feel like less of a human, and probably will not care about this review. Do get know how this place is in business..
