Horrible I wasn’t even allowed to approach the merchandise cases where I could see the items on display.
The person who answers the phone is freakishly weird. Everything I ever ask do they have he says he doesn’t know what that is. PLEASE FIRE THIS NONCHALANT MAN. He creeps me out and does not know anything about music. Please get another worker gosh
Tried to give a used bass with a part of a fret missing
3. Buddy Gray Music Center
Address: 6325 Old Montgomery Hwy, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405 , Holt , Alabama , United States
terrible person to work for. rude, disrespectful, demeaning liar. lied ab the job description (didn’t do what was said), benefits( didn’t get any), and constantly demeaning towards all his employees. stay away from any business and work from this man.
Former employee. Buddy had us perform maintenance and installations before quoting the price in order to stick clients with an inflated bill. Treated customers and employees with disrespect. Schiesty.
Absolutely terrible. Do not hire this man for anything. If I could give negative stars I would. He thinks that because he’s disabled that he can talk to people anyway he pleases. Charges way too much to tune a piano and the people that work for him have no training. I’d know I was one of them. He doesn’t think anyone else knows what they’re talking about. Just stay as far away from this man as possible if you can.
4. Eat My Beats
Address: 4755 Jug Factory Rd, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405 , Holt , Alabama , United States
I shop local before I go anywhere else. Eat My Beats Is a diamond in the dirt!
The best music shop in town. Very helpful staff and great selection. If they don’t have it, they can get it for you! We’ve bought 4 guitars here and are very happy with the setup on each one. James the guitar specialist is great to work with.
They get you in and out quick in reference to Returning the items U rented
The kids had a blast!
New and used instruments with tons of accessories.
Overpriced and a little short with customers. Good selection of stuff though.
Booked two parties at once and tried to make us wait 2 hours to start ours when we were the ones on the books. Compromised with an agreement then they did not hold up on their agreement. Man was VERY rude!
Called at 6 to inquire about a product, no answer, arrived at the location with the associates vehicle parked outside before 6:30 door was locked, called again no answer.
$70 restocking fee!
5. Cole Band Instruments
Address: 3076 McFarland Blvd #11, Northport, AL 35476 , Holt , Alabama , United States
This place is great. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They helped us find what we needed and helped explain to my son how to better care for his instrument. They have a variety of items, one stand we wherw going to order as a Christmas present from Amazon we walked out the door with $2 cheaper.
Friendly service. Quick turn around on the instrument repair I had.
The team at Cole is as friendly and professional as they come. They’re quick with repairs and offer great prices. I can’t recommend them enough!
Nice and very helpful
Its good service very pricey though
6. Dollar General
Address: 1650 Crescent Ridge Rd NE, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404 , Holt , Alabama , United States
So close to home and great prices too! Make it a
DG Market. I’ll never have to leave Holt.
Have most of the stuff need of course I live up the road from here so I’m there alot
Good placement of store, great selection and grocery. Always freight on floor, not enough help,always busy!
Never a cashier at register. The cashier moves in “turtle mode”. Yes this is SUPER SLOW!!
As of late everytime I go to checkout there is one cashier with a large line. In the past a second employee would open up when the line got to long. Now it almost appears that this cashier is the only employee. Not the place to go when you are in a hurry. Easily 10 to 15 minute waits.
Store clearly states it closes at 10 and was closed at 9
Shelves bare and employees giving exactly as much effort as they are paid for. Serves its purpose for necessities, but do not expect top notch customer service. After all, it is Dollar General. Lower prices = underpaid and disengaged employees. Heck…how would you act if you worked there?
7. RSB Percussion
Address: 244 McFarland Blvd, Northport, AL 35476 , Holt , Alabama , United States
Absolutely the best!! Very easy to work with and a heart of gold!! A ton of fun!

Thanks Alex for all your hard work and my god keep blessing you with your amazing talent!! ❤️

Very professional musical guy great sound system. Will definitely have him for all my parties.
10. Redbox
Address: 1650 Crescent Ridge Rd NE, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404 , Holt , Alabama , United States
Mr. David Bailey from the Tuscaloosa, Alabama was a blessing to work with in my resent search and investment of a new laptop computer. He was so patient with me and seemed to truly care that I found exactly what I needed. No Pressure! Truly wanted to help meet my needs.
Thanks David
One of My Favorite places for Electronics..anything Tech they have it for you..Sister also works for them..all she does is Brag on Best Buy..
I’ve been going to this location for many years, and they never disappoint! I can usually find anything I need and the employees are there is you need help. The store has always been kept really clean as well. This should be your top pick of all the Best Buy’s in Birmingham!!
Big box electronics store
The employees Best Buy store they take out the time to wait on the customer and whatever they come in to purchase that’s what I like about Best Buy employee be safe be blessed love Charlie branch ❤
Fair service but chronically overpriced.
Sales persons not Knowledgeable on Computers
No one came and asked did i need any help
never go there, and buy your computer online. I bought a workstation yesterday and the salesman there was like he is my customer. What’s more ridiculous was after I got that computer home, it could not even be turned on! So I went back to them and asked my money back. None of them even apologized. If you want to make yourself really angry, go to Best Buy and enjoy!
12. Alabama Antique Market
Address: 3929 Rice Mine Rd NE #1523, Tuscaloosa, AL 35406 , Holt , Alabama , United States
Great place to go for decor, furniture, etc. I found several paintings and prints that I purchased for wall decor. The space is massive, so my partner and I spent a couple hours walking through all the booths and rooms. Can be quite overwhelming, but worth the adventure if you’re interested in antiques and second hand goods.
This location has been open about two weeks. I was absolutely blown away with the setup and variety this market offered. People were friendly and helpful. Even took an extra large purchase to my vehicle and loaded it for Me! Love this place.
Tons to look through. Clean and well organized.
I liked this place. It was big enough to spend sometime looking. Has a pretty big variety. Found several things we decided were our treasures to keep. I would go back
Plan on spending an hour plus easy. And take your time. The place is huge. Well over 100 booths. Wide aisles. Clean. Easy to see the mdse & lots of it. Hardly any just plain junk.
Lots to choose from
I drove 2.5 hours to meet someone selling a furniture piece that was here on consignment from Facebook Marketplace. When I arrived, the lady told me that apparently the piece had sold a month ago but the owner never told her that it sold. I would never sell at a place that didn’t tell me when my item sold. She told us this right in front of the owner and then he insisted that we come in and buy a different piece of furniture from him. When we told him we weren’t interested, he seemed offended that we wouldn’t shop at a place that just made us waste 5 hours in the car.
Enjoyed the Antique Mall, purchased items.
13. Alumni Hall
Address: 224 Paul W Bryant Dr, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401 , Holt , Alabama , United States
Replays always has what I’m looking for and have better prices than GameStop. I love it. It’s my one stop shop for discount gaming. I just wish they would add a website so I could browse games and prices at home.
The lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful. She even called the other store in town to see if she could help me any further with our search. New customer for sure!
The best selection of games. Ever!
Love, Love, Love Replays! They have Awesome discounts on the games that I love, and that have also saved a game or two from scratch he’ll!
Better than gamstop for used games in my opinion. I usually leave with something even if it’s a ds game.
They had a good Black Friday sale going on. It would have been great if they had more TV Series DVDs available for me to buy.
The guy behind the counter just kept staring at me like i was gonna steal somthing not a very good xbox one selection
Wasted my time and fuel. Posted hours are a lie.
Do they fix scratched games on ps4
15. Target
Address: 1901 13th Ave E, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404 , Holt , Alabama , United States
The store is generally neat and the employees are very friendly. It seems to take a little longer than it should to restock items, but otherwise I love visiting the store. It also has a self-check out! Be advised that there are no bike racks outside the store.
VERY FRIENDLY STAFF
This Target has always treated me well and the renovations and new alcohol section are awesome. But I wanted to point something out specially. I’m a Funko Pop collector and today Target just so happened to release several different awesome Target Exclusive pops alongside the NYCC releases. This Target has been the only one I’ve been impressed with so far on the Funko products. The employees in electronics handles the 10/5 release very well. And even on other days they are very knowledgeable on the product and release dates. Not once have I had them tell me “We have them but can’t find them”, act sketch about the Pops, or act rude toward me for asking as other day they experience at their Targets. I, myself try to be the respectful, patient, and not untitled collector that have driven some employees into acting a certain way toward the Funko collectors. So again, So much Kudos on this store and the way it handles its Funko releases. They also had more than enough to go around, which is also unlike something I heard from Other Targets. I’ll be moving soon, and as a collector, I will Be genuinely sad that this won’t be my go-to Target anymore. Thank you Electronics employees. You made my day.
Because it’s Target!
They have such a great selection! I spend most of my time in the beauty/toiletries section and the grocery section. Cleanliness of the store and friendly associates. store is very clean and well attended Target .I love this Target location.
Out of stock of tons of stuff…. Many bare shelves.
They have totally ruined the store with their “upgrade “. The people responsible should be locked up. They are an obvious danger to society. Minimal selection and no thought given to how people shop, especially on the grocery side.
If I could give a negative 1 then I would. This is the worst drive up service that I have ever experienced. My order was misplaced and I had to wait over 30 minutes for it to be found.
The pickup was no problem but I was charged for an item that I didn’t receive and customer care on the phone is a joke…
16. Barnes & Noble
Address: Midtown Shopping Ctr 1800 McFarland Road East, 1800 McFarland Blvd E Suite 200, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404 , Holt , Alabama , United States
Great atmosphere. My children loved being able to sit and read.
Had everything I went to look for!
Always a pleasure to shop here. Clean and attractive store with friendly staff.
Nice place, friendly staff, but the books aren’t cheap and they have a very limited selection, particularly if you’re interested in works written on post-high-school reading levels.
Nice selection
It is s grest place to read. I didn’t speak to any of the staff but they were easy to spot if I needed help.
I was refused service bc I didn’t have a mask on
Okay! Now I love B&N BUT today when I bought something and my total was $9.76 and I told the cashier I had a penny and she said, “well I already rang it up.” and would not take my penny. Do some basic math please.
The cashier messed up my order even after asking me
