Famnorf is the best audio engineer I have ever met. Not only is he knowledgeable, he works very hard and has a big heart. He wants to see his clients succeed. I highly recommend this recording studio!
More than just a engineer Famnorf has taken time showed me ways to enhance not just my music but lifestyle and mentality ! Several projects we have done together have been professional.
This ia by FAR the best studio in town. Very professional yet relaxed recording environment, and any music produced out of there is beyond dope. This studio can produce any style of music, and with the studio expanding, this is the place to be!
6. Berghaus Organ Company
Address: 2151 Madison St #1, Bellwood, IL 60104 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
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
The finest world class pipe organ.
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.
7. Advanced Instrument Inc
Address: 110 25th Ave, Melrose Park, IL 60160 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
My company has used Brent to consult on and edit both audio content and ads. Not only is the work great, but he gets it done much quicker than other partners I’ve used. Highly recommend!
Can’t recommend this place enough! Very cool atmosphere and Brent is as chill as they come. We came in to record a couple audio drama scripts, some ads, and even a super well-produced personal joke for a friend of mine . The sound is so awesome I don’t want to record anywhere else now! Thanks again!
A great studio space! Brent and the team are a joy to work with — can’t wait to go back for our next session!

Great General Manager Portia, great store staff and good shopping experience.
It in my area,the employee are always friendly and helpful.
Okay
friendly people!
It had what i neede at a low price. I like to look good so when i go out of town, i always pack a lentbrush. This trip i forgot my lentbrush & i went to buy one the 1st store was to expensive, but for that price i was able to buy 2 lentbrushs for the price of one.
They are sometimes slow with only one cashier.
Store is dirty and disorganized. Staff was rude, staff does not know how to read coupons, staff would not allow me to use a printed manufacturer’s coupon. Would not go back to this location. Broadview location is clean, friendly, and staff is helpful.
Small cluttered aisle blocked boxes everywhere a mess
Horrible only 1 cashier and the lines where long and they had employees standin around Talking and this place is always Junkie and never in Order Horrible Management!!!!!!
11. Target
Address: 130 S Mannheim Rd, Hillside, IL 60162 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
I was super impressed with the friendly and helpful staff.
I visited Target Optical in Hillside. All of the staff has been tremendous but the employee Comora went above and beyond with her service on each of my visits. Let her know to keep up the great work.
Convenient, same cookie cutter target brand store like all the rest.
Better food store than department store.
Target has become our “go to” store for almost everything. We get almost all our grocerys,clothes and electronics from either the Target after Hillside or Broadview, Illinois.
Specify to the store on Hillside. I understand holiday hours can be stressful. If a customer has questions about a sale and is unsure about a product be nice. Especially If the customer is being nice to begin with. Everyone else who we encountered was nice except for the lady who did thw exchange and return who didn’t even do the return correctly.
If you are coming to this target make sure to not be in a rush, they usually have 3 out of the 4 self check outs available. 1 or 2 cashiers open. When you are paying if you are purchasing an item that was on sale in the rack make sure to check when you are paying. I have had two instances were I purchase something that was “on sale” and when the cashier scans it; it’s not.
My willingness to go to this Target is starting to fade. For the 3rd week in a row, they haven’t had any checkout lanes open during prime hours when people are out of work and the self checkout lines are long. On top of that if I have a whole cart of groceries it is very hard to checkout a whole cart on that little platform area in self checkout. If this continues Im going to Walmart instead.
12. Genies Tobacco
Address: 446 Mannheim Rd, Hillside, IL 60162 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
I a great spot the best in the area love this place u can find everything here
great service! great products! has all your smoking needs & more! definitely recommend this smoke shop, best one i’ve ever been to
Naz be hooking it up
Very nice clean shop. Customer service was great, all of my hookah needs were met.
THEY WINNING
I waited 30 min after 10 and no one open guys who runs it Jst hung out side smoking cigarettes
I was very excited to find a new head shop near me and had a great experience my first trip. This time I walked in about 6:45pm customers in store did not have masks on. not even pulled down just not on and were just standing around. The employee behind the counter also had on no mask at all. I could’ve avoided the loitering people but to hand someone my credit card who isn’t even wearing mask is a no for me.
Of course when people aren’t following simple rules it makes you wonder how many other risks and chances their taking and reminds me that I don’t need to be around to find out.
Can’t really trust going back and if they’re this laxed about something this important I don’t think I’ll see them until long after I’m vaccinated. It’s a shame how people pick and choose rules to follow and the level of disinterest in the public peace of mind. I will say the first experience a different guy was working and did have on a mask.
Overall this shop was nice and clean however when I entered I was not greeted. I refuse to spend my hard earned money there. No one was wearing masks. Grown men were playing video games not wearing masks either
13. We Buy Records
Address: 10233 Roosevelt Rd, Westchester, IL 60154 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
Best place to buy or sell your music! I found new and used vinyl that are in unbelievable condition. Brian’s conservative grading shows the buyer how trustworthy his service and dedication is to the music and the customers. Can’t wait to go back and find more gems!
Fantastic selection, and friendly staff. Would recommend anyway shop here for their record needs.
Found a grail record of mine for a steal of a price! Ricochet by Tangerine Dream! (You should check it out!)
They pay wads of cash for records compared to other stores. I wish they were open 24/7.
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.
Good place with records ,but open only 1 day in week and newest music
Came to my house and cheated me a handicaped senior took over 60 albums and 45s for 120 bucks less than 2 dollars album your selling same albums for 30 to 40 dollars each . If you need to cheat people to make money not good
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.
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.
14. Redbox
Address: 4730 Butterfield Rd, Hillside, IL 60162 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
Favorite place to shop in the area. Good prices and staff was very helpful. Highly recommend
Love this place close by and reasonable prices went in for 1 thing came out with 2 hats 2 backpacks a hookah a bong a grinder and a RAW cigar balloon
Tony was absolutely great! I came in to get a vape and ended up leaving with a few vapes and a hookah. Absolutely love the store and the employees!
Wack shop. Bought a defected posh 3 hours ago that stays burning in my pocket and got really hot and isn’t my coil. They didn’t want to help or anything just argued that’s not possible they get cold
16. American Music World
Address: 605 N York St, Elmhurst, IL 60126 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
I haven’t purchased a piano here…yet. But Judy was a wonderful host and guide as I explored options for the future. She really took time with me to explain options and pricing, and to let me and my preferences truly guide the search. I will be back when I’m ready to buy! Thank you so much for the wonderful, personal, and honest hospitality and customer service. 🙂
A great place for all your piano needs.
GREAT selection of Yamaha , electric and mahogany pianos and , Miss Morgan spoke to…
They moved my piano. Got the job done but I am not totally happy about the move. They are not professional enough. They don’t have anything to cover the hard wood floor and carpet like the professional movers. In addition, the guy Rick talks too much. Will not recommend their moving piano service to my friends.
Horrible experience trying to sell them our grand piano. Rick was to come get the piano. He cancelled 5 times. Each excuse was more pathetic than the last. The final excuse was such a lie.
17. Visionworks Hillside Town Center
Address: 120 S Mannheim Rd H101, Hillside, IL 60162 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
Hello we really recommend vision work they are so friendly so respectful and is really clean there are really polite and that always with a smile they always have 50 or 60 percent there excellent
Great friendly staff always helpful trying to find you the best pricing. Selection of frames is outstanding. Visionworks is by far the best place to get your vision needs.
The best Vision Works is at the mall in Hillside, Illinois. I speak highly of a guy named Lee that has been awesome and so helpful to me. I would recommend this Vision Works to anyone.
Staff is very helpful and patient with patients
The optometrist was very thorough, professional and nice but mainly she was accurate with my eye difficulties. I came back to Visionworks because I found Anne G. to be very good. The other staff members were average in courtesy, helpfulness and service. But the optometrist is what really matters for your eye health, and the rest of staff were fine to deal with.
Visiónworks tiene lo último en la moda para lentes, el servicio es profesional
I spoke to two people there, that claimed they were the supervisor and the manager. Worse customer service ever! I can’t believe a corporate like this would have two incompetent employees working there!! DONT BOTHER COMING HERE UNLESS IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED POORLY!!
Take your business elsewhere or go to another location. Don’t waste you’re time.
Tried to patronize this location today despite mixed reviews.
Scheduled appointment for 12:45pm. Received a call from someone to verify insurance followed by a text stating my appointment was rescheduled to 12:50pm. No big deal, only a 5 minute difference. Received confirmation text today (day of appointment) confirming 12:50pm appointment time.
Walked into location at 12:53pm and was told that my appointment was at 12:45 by receptionist. Advised her of the text for rescheduling to 12:50 pm to which she responds “that was an accident when I was putting in a note, our system works in 15 minute increments so 12:45pm was the correct time. So, I will to have to reschedule you for our next appointment which will be the last appointment after the patient before the doctor’s break.” No clue what any of that meant, but I asked her to clarify that due to an error on their part, I now have to reschedule? She continues to say “yes, we only have a 10 minute grace period and have already started to see the 1:00pm appointment.”
Again, its 12:54pm at this point, which even without the rescheduling error would have still been within the 10min grace period…so why am I being rescheduled?
Apparently, that minor fact was irrelevant to the receptionist who continued to insist on a reschedule.
Needless to say I declined any other appointments and will not attempt to schedule again.
2stars were given as the appointment setting process was very easy and they seemed pleasant over the phone.

Address: 500 Mannheim Rd Unit 4W, Hillside, IL 60162 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
Nice staff fully stocked & restocking of shelves . Easy safe self checkouts friendly staff . It was clean & orderly not like some other five belows . Just wish they had stuck with the everything is 5 dollars and below .like they had when it originally opened if the wheel ain’t broken don’t fix it . Just because you tubers started video taping there . Remember they get paid by clicks and likes
Great items under $5
the deals nice and respectable
One of the best five belows I have ever been to.
Was ok kids found what they needed and we was gone.
This store is so small but it is crammed with merchandise for a bigger store. Hard to find what I needed. No cashiers, only self checkout.
Honestly rather sad at how Five Below seems to not have as much as back then. For me it used to have so much more things and at a variety of things. It was amazing and I was always came out with things but now there is nothing I want or just generic things that won’t be used much. I don’t know it just feels off now than it used to
It is 7:45 and I got turned away. They already had the door locked. The worker, who looked like she was already ready to leave with her jacket on, came to the door and mouthed that they were closed. I pointed to the hours sign and said you guys are supposed to close at 8. She opened the door and said her manager said to close early.
Way to do business.
It’s so funny how in front of the door they have a paper that says you have to wear a mask or you can’t shop but guess what if you want to shop without a mask you can shop here, the manager or whoever she is doesn’t tell you anything instead she shops for you.
A customer walked in with no mask and not once did she tell him to leave or asked him to put his mask on INSTEAD she shopped for him while he stood there talking on the phone telling her what to get for him, embarrassing. A customer telling an employee to shop for him when he could’ve done it himself if she would’ve simply told him to put his mask on. Have to watch who you hire Five Below !!! So unprofessional.
20. HomeGoods
Address: 150 S Mannheim Rd, Hillside, IL 60162 , Hillside , Illinois , United States
My favorite home store I always find more than I need. Lol!!!
My sister bought the cutest dog bed shaped like a crown. I could stay there for hours. So much to choose from. Great place for Christmas shopping.
The. Have beautiful and useful things. Make you buy more than you planned. I love. This store.
I almost always find really nice things at this store. The cashiers are friendly.
Lots of variety. All the basics for the home and more. Huge selection of seasonal and holiday decorations. Exciting selection of serve ware, exotic foods, and drink mixers for all your entertaining needs. In addition to all of the above, HomeGoods has only gotten better. They have a beautiful selection of quality artificial plants, wreaths, stems, and garlands. This is also a good place to buy your K-cups at a reasonable price.
Surprising display of Rae cc Dunn mugs. Very good variety
The store has changed from friendly staff to mere employees. Selections are ok.
Was there last night sure it was before closing but the lady at the register is like you need to hurry my register will automatically shut down at closing time. That’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Another guy came in said he needed one item. The lady said if you come up her with more than one thing I won’t ring you out. Mind you this is about 8 minstrel before the closing time. This lady then just grabbed my stuff and threw it in the bag wouldn’t use the tissue wrap to wrap my items I had asked to be wrapped. She says there’s no time for that.
The manager whose name begins with a “M” is EXTREMELY rude. I cannot believe the corporate office accepts and rewards that type of behavior.
