Generally disorganized and unclean. Staff can be off and on with friendliness depending on when you come in.
The cashiers are nice and helpful
It is convenient.
I had stopped shopping there for 8 months because it is just SO DARK AT NIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT! I TALKED TO 2 DIFFRENT MANAGERS ABOUT HOW CREAPY AND NOT SAFE AT NIGHT TO GO SHOPPING!
Months later.. Still dark…. light pole never fixed.
But I did go this Saturday, it was filthy, nothing stocked, empty shelves, trash on the floors…
Today my bf stopped by and bought 2 bags of chips on sale and a few other things. Got out of the store and saw that he was over charged, when he went back in to get his money. They couldn’t give him cash (even though he paid cash ) they said they had to put the refund on a card. That’s just wrong. Two thumbs down!!!!
This store is the worst dollar general store I have been to. Its allways in a mess prices are never right employees are talking to friends while you wait in line .
It’s super shity

This place is amazing
A great place to eat and they have a lot of food different kinds and I was so thankful
Lovely little town
Great place
It’s a good lil town
When you pass through Lamar on Hwy. 64, you barely know your driving in a town. It does have a couple small restaurants and gas stations. Obey the speed limits or their P.D. will stop you. Years ago this was a nice little place, but it has seen better days.

Wonderful selection of instruments, accessories, and top notch repair. I love how the repair shop is honest about what needs done to your instrument and they even try to help you save money. Very kind and helpful owners!
Very friendly and polite staff. Very experienced and affordable. Only place I go with my trumpet!
Visite este lugar porque andaba en busca de una flauta y aqui la encontré
No good at all
5. Valley Piano Co
Address: 3515 W Main St, Russellville, AR 72801 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
Great little store with lots of goodies and great service
Great store and large selection..
Great company. Very helpful
Great people, a very old store
I went into to buy a guitar. Very small selection
Lots of sheet music and DVDs but it is all on the computer today. Wonderful people. I wish them well!
My visit was to test the integrity of an electric guitar I had. Spoke to the guy behind the counter. (The one with the gray streaked goatee). Told him I was preparing to sell it via Facebook, and all I want to do is see if it sounds as it should. He said it was ok I was like great thanks. The buyer was from outta town and was shopping for guitar supplies. She had just bought amp still needed a cord possibly more. Asked her to meet up there since she was just down the road. She wanted to go in do to the rain. Instantly he started ranting that he’s a business man a professional and I was shady for what I had done. I was very polite. My reply ( I’m sorry I brought you a customer sure she meet up with me to buy a guitar for cheap but she still may need something) she was there for his childish act. ( she replied I do need a cord) He didn’t even bother to respond to her. He looks at me says someone smells bad like cigarettes… Wow 0 stars for your sir. Where’s your public relations at. Your welcome for that sell.
6. Palmer Music Company
Address: 1131 Front St, Conway, AR 72032 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
I have been doing business with Preston for a long time. I’ve even taken guitar lessons from the man in charge, LOL. I’ve bought new equipment. Sold them used guitars for a fair price. Just yesterday the service dept helped me with some wiring issues on a fiddle pickup( thanks Bear). ALL of the staff makes every effort to make sure that you are satisfied! You will be much happier trading here than you would be if you went to the big box store. The company gives back to the local community through numerous promotions/collaborations and by supporting local artists and the community orchestra! Definitely 5 stars!
Purchased a beautiful Fender acoustic guitar. Nice facility, showroom with many choices of acoustic guitars. 6 and 12 string, and gorgeous electric guitars. Friendly and knowledgeable sales staff.
Very prompt and professional experience.
Will return soon!
My guitar was in for repairs for about 4 months. Almost no communication was provided about status of the repair work. It’s understandable with Covid making it difficult to have parts shipped, but the lack of adequate communication was uncomfortably disappointing. I don’t blame the young individual who was working on my guitar, but rather leadership who should have provided direction on appropriate and timely customer service communication. It doesn’t matter to me that it would have taken considerable time for repairs. But the lack of communication stating that due to a backlog in parts, and it was just a waiting game, would have been enough. A 30 second phone call every couple of weeks or so to advise a customer that no progress has been made is better than nothing…it would have been enough to have left my guitar there for months longer. The ironic thing about all this is that I really like the store and the people at Palmer Music, so I will most likely continue to purchase my music supplies from them and I hope my experience there was a one-off….
Talked to Joey in the store today. He took some time to help me plan for an upcoming purchase for our church. They have a large selection of all kinds of musical instruments and they do lessons, as well. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Highly recommended! Thanks, Joey!
I was looking at electric guitars and they didn’t offer to let me plug any of them in. How are you truly going to know if you like one or not if you can’t hear the sound.
Go to GUITAR CENTER instead (you can actually have FUN there).
Went in expecting to buy a new guitar on 01/26/2023. The man behind the counter was very unfriendly & unhelpful.
I found one I wanted to buy but I just didn’t really want to give my money to a person who didn’t know how to smile.
Another employee walked by and was even more emotionless than the other guy. I left feeling very unwelcome.
I will not be back.
7. River Valley Music Center
Address: 407 N Arkansas Ave Suite 5C, Russellville, AR 72801 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
Wonderful teachers very flexible schedules and I always feel at home being there!
Love the selection and staff here. Their selection of Aria classical guitars is lovely, and their prices are fantastic!!! Everyone whom I have had the pleasure of visiting with has always been a delight to talk with as well. Was first referred up here by Josh over at Hippie Palace. Stop in and check them out; you will be pleased you did
Arrived around 1:00p.m. and doors were locked but lights were on. Luckily there was a kitchen gear store across the hall with the sweetest ladies running it (seriously, give them a visit they’re so nice) killed about 30 minutes in there before waiting on the hall an additional 20. Dude showed up and unlocked the door, I got excited, then he turned off the lights and relocked the doors. I just wanted some guitar string and a string winder… So yeah, Valley Piano was great, just go there
I’ve been by here twice to buy a guitar case and sign my kid up for lessons. First time they were closed (not a holiday) and the second time, they were open but no one was inside.

I was in the process of buying a guitar from lane and then saw the Google reviews which I was very alarmed by. I talked to lane and looked into it. The people who left the reviews are a group of girls in NY who never bought a guitar in their life. If you want the real reviews go to his business website or Facebook page.
you should never buy from this store or lane. he is a horrible person and lies about every product he sells. every thing i bought was broken and he refused to refund me.
I would give this place zero stars if I could. Lane is truly scum of the earth. Abuser is an understatement.
just called to ask about acoustics and he talked to me like i was completely incompetent. so disrespectful
9. LH Music
Address: 913 N Bloomington St, Lowell, AR 72745 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
Great interaction online, very fast shipping, items as described. Very pleasant interaction.
I busted my outputs on my Nord Stage 2 keyboard and needed help. I found LH Music here on Facebook and thought I would give them a try and I am super glad I did.
They turned my repair around in a week and now my baby is like new again. Very affordable and Oscar even brought it back to Fayetteville for me. Great communication and service and definitely a reasonable cost.

Address: 23756 US-64, Knoxville, AR 72845 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
Bad employee always a mess doesn’t look like take time to clean it or put stuff up
Knk
Rude cashier. Either she was having a bad day or just naturally has the customer service temperament of a rotten cactus. Irregardless, not the customer’s fault so reel it on or find a line of work that doesn’t involve speaking.
Great firearm selection. For a small store they have one of the best selections. Always friendly and attentive. Well worth stopping by.
My dad bought me my first gun here about 12 years ago and we almost always leave here with one of us buying a new firearm. They have the best prices I’ve seen anywhere around on their firearms. Definitely fair on prices and customer service has always been exceptional.
Great place for high end fishing and hunting supplies..
They have a fair customer service and will work with you on prices a little but they try to way under shoot on items they pawn for you. The only advantage to pawning something there is that their intrest rate is 5% cheaper than everywhere else in town.
Pawn shop
These people are incredibly rude and way overpriced. Do yourself a favor a go elsewhere.
Guess all pawn shops out to beat you over the head these days. Business must be bad. Lowballing trade or pawns.
I cant believe how money hungry you guys are!! Terrible place to go. Also owner that works there is just weird man not social or friendly/helful at all. I will not be returning. My buisness will go to pawn gallery or anywhere else besides your store. You may have been around for a long time but that gives you no right to treat people without respect. Ridiciulous. Do not shop here… people are losing their morals and common curtousy. Its so sad.
13. Pawn Gallery
Address: 808 S Rogers St, Clarksville, AR 72830 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
This is a great place to upgrade your guitar. Brandon does excellent work, and the prices are good. He did a fairly large project for me, and it was money well spent. I’m completely satisfied. I will definitely be back.
Best music store in Little Rock!
Don’t let anybody else touch your guitar. This spot is Arkansas’ top spot for instrument repair and music lessons!!!! Would have gave 100 stars if I could have!!
15. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 230 Market St, Clarksville, AR 72830 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
The store was clean. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a staff and someone asked if they could help me find something.
Love it
Me revente un subway bien ricolino
UPDATE: nother remodel complete and even fewer cash registers available to be staffed. The self check are no longer blocks but straight lines with no visable employee to help if there is a problem.
Okay, it was raining but still high 90s, I filled up my tank at Murphy Oil, the contract gas station, first. Maybe I was just in a bad mood but…
It’s a Walmart. Everyone can rate them. This one has the new security gates ince the remodel Spring 2019. Who knew they go off if you try to return the basket because you didn’t buy anything. Must go through a checkout area. This one also has way more self checks and way fewer cashiers on duty. In fact there are times when there is only one present to assist if necessary. She did say she could page an employee off the floor if I was having problems and required it. I admit, I shop everywhere before Walmart even though I appreciate having a Distribution Center in our county and Chrystal Bridges Museum close enough to visit.
I am not a fan of Walmart so they will never get a 5 star from me, as I don’t believe in a giant coming in and forcing the closing of mom-and-pop shops all over town. However, I DO have my prescriptions filled here BECAUSE…..if I ever miscalculate my meds while traveling, any local
Walmart will remedy the situation with no issues at all. Prices are not always cheaper here either, BUT their selection of products is excellent. It’s a love/hate relationship that we have. lol
Good
I absolutely DO NOT like Wal-Mart at all!!!! I ESPECIALLY EXTREMELY DISLIKE THIS WAL-MART!
It is Wal Mart. Like most we go there because of lack of other options.
The people filling the online shopping orders need to quit blocking the narrow aisles, some are downright rude.
Too small
16. Guitar Center
Address: 12315 Chenal Pkwy A, Little Rock, AR 72211 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
My favorite store in the world! Stop what you are doing and spend all your money here !!!
Great selection and always friendly
Nice place need more mandolins
Good customer service, salesmen are well trained with a polite upsell.
Great staff, pricing and selection
The person I dealt with was just unfriendly and seemed like they could care less about making a sale. I’d rather risk ordering online then deal with them.
I’ve been going to guitar center for about 24 years. Today was the last time I’ll go and intend to spend any money there. I had every intention of spending a decent amount of money, but I was met with an attitude as though I was an inconvenience. The pro audio fella just lost a lifetime customer for you. I’ll be purchasing my audio and music gear anywhere else from now on.
Edit: also a second sales person came over to assist with a guitar cab that I was attempting to trade towards my purchase, but he was more concerned with a football game on his phone.
Horrible selection. Poor customer service. Every visit has been a let down with the most recent one sealing the deal. This location never has quality products in stock. The variety of products is ridiculously thin as well. Worst GC I have visited on multiple levels across the board. Will not return and I will call to make any future orders/purchases. I will not give this location any furthered business.
17. Piney Bay Coffee Company
Address: 117 S College Ave, Clarksville, AR 72830 , Lamar , Arkansas , United States
This place is a hidden gem! Their espresso is tasty and the vibes are excellent
This is not an ordinary coffee shop. This is a place to start a business, learn about Clarksville, and network!
Awesome service and ppl that work here , unique coffee , if they have the caramel biscuits gotta try one .
I love that clarksville has this gem. I got a special requested 8oz cappaccino (she said the smallest they can do was a 16 oz?!) and it was almost 7 dollars. I told the cashier it was 4 dollars on the menu and she completely ignored me.
Good service and a whole lot of drink options
Server really did not have his mind engaged. Didn’t bring one coffee initially, then brought wrong order. Coffee was ok, but service below par. Could have done with some outdoor seating/ tables upgrades.
Bad customer service. The one employee working there didn’t acknowledge us even once. We were waiting for 20 minutes. He was in the back most of the time. Walked past us multiple times without greeting us. Then after coming from the back he took the order of other clients who came in after us. Without asking who came first. And he clearly seen we were waiting for a very long time. It’s like he didn’t want to serve us on purpose. A simple hello I’ll be with you folks soon would’ve been nice. We walked out since he took the other clients who came in after us first. No acknowledgement at all like we were ghosts. What a waste of time. Super rude.
The barista was one of the worst I had ever encountered. He made me an iced earl grey when I ordered an iced chai tea. I told him I had gotten a chai tea so he brings out a hot chai. This is on top of the fact that he took to making about three coffees before taking my order. The barista needed caffeine more than I did. The tea is alright but there are better coffee shops in town. They even have better service.
18. University of the Ozarks Bookstore

Love the new(ish) bookstore. Very modern. Love the display of fiction/non-fiction books. Also many great options for tshirts, memorabilia, etc.
Awesome
The people are really friendly and they have many things that a college student might need. Also, for any visiting prospective student you can get some great Ozarks gear here.
19. U.S. Pawn & Surplus

Love this place…these guy’s really are good people and will help you as much as they can!
Great place to deal with. Excellent customer service, great prices and excellent stock.
Great to deal with. Although we had a couple hiccups, I was taken care of to what I feel was the best of his ability. I’d recommend them just based on the customer service and willingness to resolve any issues.
Be very careful. It’s a scam. I did not receive item ordered and had no contact unless I initiated the contact.
