Not really a smoker but the guy was very nice on helping out with the selection. They willing to work with you on any question you may have. Amazing selection of drinks, good cheap cigars. Highly recommended.
Great customer service from Erik. Very patient and helped me find what I was looking for. Great store and great prices! I highly recommend this store. Thank you again. Will definitely be coming back!
Erik’s costumer service was great, he took his time helping me out.
The service is very good
Bought a defective elf bar, he wouldn’t swap it out for a new one. I didn’t even want a refund I just wanted what I paid for.
Cashier was very rude. He had airpods in and was taking a phone call. Seemed clearly inconvenienced when my husband was asking questions and rushed him out of the shop.
3. McDonald’s
Address: 250 E Robertson Blvd, Chowchilla, CA 93610 , Chowchilla , California , United States
Had good service. Was able to park my car and trailer in the long stalls
It’s always very busy here. Friendly staff.
Standard McDs
Service was very slow, only one register open and had to wait about ten minutes before being served. My double quarter pounder was dry and the filet of fish was warm. Needed more help, will not be going back at all very dissatisfied
Will never be returning, I usually never write reviews especially bad ones, but the costumer service was horrible. I waited half an hour for my 20 piece nuggets and two large fries. There was a line behind me and the cashier who had attended me walked away to clean?! Instead of attending everyone in the lobby, most of the people left exasperated because all they where doing was drive throughs orders instead of the people in front of them. I have never felt so dissatisfied with my McDonald’s, yes I know right now everyone is understaffed, but still have at least one person on the cashier taking orders instead of “sweeping” right next to the food
Sucks

Come for the stylish and quirky selection of clothing, which is sorted by size and includes a decent array of plus sizes. If you’re looking to luck into a statement piece, look here.
Selection of non-attire stuff is small and comparatively upscale. This store is a boutique experience.
8. Venturi House of Music
Address: 1706 Howard Rd, Madera, CA 93637 , Chowchilla , California , United States

Didn’t stay long, Owner was busy.
Local busines takes care of there customers!!
Horrible customer service.
Old guy very disrespectful and racist to say the lease. Don’t come here raza.
Also the pics are old and place looks outdated. Instruments are dusty and pricy. Nope I’ll take my business else where. Like he said in Spanish and English.
They don’t open
No one answers the phone during business hours, message system does not work. This is the repeat of a prior attempt to do business with this store. Guess I will need to find a responsive merchant in Fresno

The owner is super friendly, and the food was delicious!! Super recommend wings, Mac & cheese and Strawberry Lemonade . Will be back.
Service and food was awesome. Reminds me of my Mamas home cooked food. Nice clean atmosphere, definitely will return.
So good. They fast too. Everything good. Family operated and very friendly service. Y’all better tip. I’ve been like 5 times this month no cap
Food was excellent I will definitely come again
Have only ordered once since they’ve opened, food was good. Wait time was decent (30 mins), ordered the shrimp po’ boy sandwich and fried fish with the hush puppies. Lady’s are kind, service was good, overall good experience. Will order again.
Great food but kind of weird to order and pay before sitting. Staff was friendly but didn’t see them much.
Food was horrible
Was told my order would be ready in 30 mins, Waited for an hour & 20 mins for 2 meals. Was told larger orders get Seniority.
Food was good service was TERRIBLE!! Its too bad, was nice to see a new buisness open up in town
11. Orchard Bar and Grill
Address: 1435 E Robertson Blvd, Chowchilla, CA 93610 , Chowchilla , California , United States
Great staff, great atmosphere, great food and drinks! Will be back
Diamond in the rough. Burger was fantastic and Bloody Mary was great too. Definitely will be back.
First time trying dinner here and the food was great. The brussel sprouts appetizer was a winner as well as the meatballs appetizer. The fish portions were huge. Delightful evening dinner. The waitress was the absolute friendliest and most welcoming person.
Nice restaurant next to a supermarket. We were thinking of a quick stop before we got back on the road to Sequoia Park but the stop lasted almost two hours for a easy brunch. Sorry we weren’t notified right away I would have changed places. The food was good and the staff friendly. Three stars for inconvenience but if you are not in a hurry I would recommend it.
My steak sandwich was great.. but the California chicken sandwich could have had a little more flavor.. they really need to work on service.. they were not overly busy.. Update had dinner on 6/19/22 service was great.
Waited an hour with no update. Asked server for an ETA, and she just said “it’ll be out soon”. Waited for 15 minutes and observed at least half of the resteraunt had been waiting just as long and with nothing coming. After an 1:15 minutes my family and I left and will never go back.
I tried calling before we made a wasted trip but nobody answered the phone. Not the first time this has happened. So we decided to take a chance on Taco Tuesday at 6 p.m. We go in just to have a taco salad to find out they ran out of hamburger. How do you run out of anything when you’re next door to a grocery store? It is always something with this place! It’s either the food or the service. Bet they never run out of alcohol. It’s not rocket science people.
The food was delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic. Everything was great until I paid the check and went home. About an hour later, I was stuck in my bathroom, and would be over and over again throughout the night. Really messed up my New Years Eve plans for the entire night. Food poisoning is no fun. Terrible experience.

GrEAT PLACE OWNER IS A BLESSING HE WILL WORK WITH U NO BODY EVER TURNED AWAY
Very good place
Love all the classic organs
It was a bit over priced for 2 reeds but the workers in the store were very helpful and very kind.
Very helpful.
Good service and good prices
I had a piano moved by Hendrickson’s and paid for tuning as well. The piano move went fine, but they never completed the tuning which was supposed to be done at the same time. After multiple attempts to connect with Clyde–nothing. Don’t work with this business. So unprofessional and frankly, unethical. I expect more from a long-standing business like this, but based on some of the other reviews here, I probably should have known better.
Does not seem too concerned in regards to blocking public sidewalk for pedestrians especially to handicapped individuals in our community.
Very dark and dirty store, went in for reeds and they kept trying to sell me an old piano, never did say if they had the reed I wanted or not. I left and went to another store in the area.
14. Dale’s Guitar & Music Lessons
Address: 2253 Geer Rd, Turlock, CA 95382 , Chowchilla , California , United States
Dang it’s amazing here so much stuff and it’s just amazing
Remember, Dales price matches the internet!!!!
Dale is the Man
He’s helpful he’s knowledgeable and he normally has whatever I need
I purached a violin for my daughter a while back. It worked for her to practice with about a year later she out grew it. I went in to get her a bigger one owner actually just did an even exchange to a nicer one with a case. Tuned it up and shes still using it till this day.
I brought in my guitar last year, 2018, to get re-stringed and Chris was friendly, even polished and cleaned my guitar for me. This March I bought a clip on tuner for 20, and it sold at Guitar Center for 30. About to sign my nephews up for guitar lessons, will be updating review in a month.
Ya working here is pretty cool
Sold me a bad violin.
Do yourself a favor and check their prices with other sellers online and in store prices here are usually higher
They seem like really honest and great people but don’t let their way of speaking get the best of you. Double-check the prices online through Amazon or through the manufacturer of the instrument like fender, Cordoba, etc. Furthermore, sales are final when I went to buy a guitar $350 that is actually worth $160 at Walmart’s online store the owner said that I could only get store credit .
15. Meticulous Beats
Address: 3521 Santiago Ave, Merced, CA 95348 , Chowchilla , California , United States
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit! Staff is INCREDIBLY friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I am a super beginner on the violin and was a little intimidated to come in and ask for help but literally 30 seconds after I came in I felt welcomed. Will definitely be back for anything and everything I may need in the future. 10/10.
Only place I go to get reeds for my granddaughter.
Santiago was so helpful !
The best thing about Gottschalk Music is that they are very personable and will help you with your specific instrument and music needs. They will help with your specific questions and what you may need for your instruments. The repair specializes in brass (trumpet, trombone, French horn, baritone, tuba) and woodwind (flute, clarinet, saxophone, etc) instruments.
A little hard to find but the staff was great and informative
19. Fossil Discovery Center of Madera County
Address: 19450 Ave 21 1/2, Chowchilla, CA 93610 , Chowchilla , California , United States
Fun place for kids n adults …small place but fun for little ones …
Was there for the dragon fly festival!! It was a wonderful time with my granddaughter
You gotta take the kiddos… You’ll like it as well.lotta facts n artifacts
It’s truly a fossil place. It’s a very small discovery centre, ticket price is minimal and good enough to give your children a true experience of dinosaur and fossils. We saw the replicas of mammoth and various fossils, including the tusk , rubs and jaws of mammoth. It’s very hot in this city so plan accordingly. They also have a place for kids to do fossil digging. Additionally the real place where excavation of fossils is going on is very close by.
Pretty cool place to take your kid. Very interesting .
Small museum but there is a lot of things to learn about. The staff were very friendly.
Very small and a quick visit
I’m giving it 2 only it’s pretty small and they have no running water and no bathrooms.
Very disappointed overall.
