Awesome staff

Clean and friendly

Clean showers and nice staff.

Tight for semi parking

It’s good

Clean and we’ll lit.

Tried to buy washer fluid with cash. Manager asked if I wanted to round up and donate .52 to habitat for humanity. I declined, then he said he had no change and said he asked if I wanted to donate. I said no and he just shrugged when I said why not round down for me then. Figures they would be crooked. Won’t be coming back to this Pilot.

Not good customer service not helping customers

Trashy and dirty showers where nasty and dirty staff is very unprofessional and seem to give anyone off the streets a job I’m not speaking for all pilots but this location is something else and don’t expect a clean shower nor bathroom they are both very nasty and you should worry about catching hepatitis if you don’t use caution I’m a loyal pilot customer but not every location is created equal and this one is about as bad as it gets. The pictures I posted are of the shower I got good thing I get free showers because this was not worth paying for.

On April 10th, 2022 around 10:20ish PM this McDonald’s gave the best drive thru service in history. The people moved right along, didn’t rush me with my order, and I got a thank you from the workers who worked both windows. So today was a good day. I had a very good experience with this McDonalds… Thank You…Happy Customer !

Was good and fast, far better than the locations near me

Quick service. Fries hot.

Convenience and reasonable price

Coffee prep takes longer then food here.

Play place for my son. They’re almost extinct

Slowest place ever….and there super mean

To slow.

Hours say open st 5am but the doors are locked and no one answers the drive thru maybe actually update your hours

Great! lots of fun and wonderful experience!

This place is great. I take guitar and voice lessons here, Im Also in one of the bands. It’s very Welcoming and fun.

Wonderful staff, my son loves Larry ( drum instructor) and my daughter loves Tamara (guitar instructor) .

I have called numerous times and no one has returned my calls.

Easy to use and convenient to home,worth the stop.

Such a great first Time here Maria and the young man were so very nice, it was very clean and Maria offered us lil cups to taste the different flavors everything was delicious it was 4 of us we were all happy and can’t wait to go back again especially my granddaughter ♥️♥️ Thank you for your service ♥️♥️

Love this place! It is clean and staff is super nice. They have so many different types of toppings to choose from. This is my kids favorite spot.

Friendly staff and excellent yogurt

It was good but was more expensive then others

A parent of 4 kids told me she spent over 50 bucks, a lot for a family. A kids bowl may be helpful, as long as parent watches how much goes in. I personally really like the yogurt and atmosphere. Maybe a small taste card could be given when people go to the food restaurant owned by same family. Good good there also. Come open a place in channahon.

It is really good frozen yogurt, but honestly too expensive. ;(

The frozen yogurt was flavorless.

Showed up tonight hoping to get some Fro Yo. My daughter has been begging to go. They were open but no worker in sight. We waited a few minutes after getting our fro yo figuring someone would see us and come out. That was not the case. We knocked on the break room door. No answer. Called the place… no answer. Proceeded to knock TWO more times. No answer. I finally messaged the FB page. They messaged back saying they were sorry and someone would be right there. Few more minutes…. Nobody…. As we walked out, leaving our fro yo on the counter, the worker walked in from the next door business.
The manager messaged me saying they sometimes “help” the business next door.

The manager messaged me telling me to just take the fro yo but we had already left. They then messaged saying to come back Monday when they were there so we could get a free round… (mind you during a time when people normally work)….

Next time I recommend taking your phone or leaving a sign up… terrible service and so sad cuz we usually love going there.

I tried only the boba but if you have been to literally any other boba place this is not that good. The boba isn’t soft at all its hard and crunchy which is weird, like they made it a while ago and it was sitting out, and the drink was really overly sweet and icky fake fruit flavor. If you want good boba you have to drive to Bolingbrook or Naperville unfortunately

Second Wind Music has gone above and beyond my expectations. I had my heirloom of a wooden clarinet fully restored to it’s glory days with complete care. I appreciate his attention to detail and communication with the process. I highly recommend having any work done at Second Wind Music.

Always 2 for 1 deal

The fettuccine Alfredo is always amazing when ever I go.

The Family and I stopped here while traveling home from a family vacation. George was very nice and offered my kids juice boxes. We got the nachos with bbq pork and they were great. The wild west bruger and Indian nation burger were cooked how we asked and hot and delicious as well. Thank you,George!

Food was fantastic, traditional American bar fare. Service was very slow, but super friendly and helpful. Also, the staff (I think) was solo for the whole restaurant. We’ll look forward to going back!

We were here on trivia night so it was a bit too loud. The food was okay but we had a hard time trying to carry on a conversation.

Everyday buy 1 get 1 pizza. Great deal

Terrible service..walked in once had to wait 20 minutes before a bartender even got to me..not busy at all. Ordered wings later on..barely seasoned, took forever to make, extremely over priced..lot better places for drinks in the area, definitely better food elsewhere..do not go here.

Very slow service, waited 15 min.just to order drinks, another 10 min before they took our food order. Restroom ( men’s) was filthy and had smashed bugs on wall near toilet, needs a good cleaning, sandwiches took 25 min. to receive. Very loud… probably would not return unless they offer free food and drinks

Ordered delivery from there website …then told they dont deleiver after I call to check on my food.

Always good food and a great price. Pizza is always good and I have really started getting into there Pasta.

Giant slices for lunch!

Awesome food and service!

Pretty good for what it is, store front pizza place. Staff was nice, food decent. Better than a chain all day. Beer cold. Will return

Great pizza!!! Just wish they had full table service!!! We dined in. Had a larger size group. So it was a “hassle” having everyone go to the window to order!!! We did like the food. Would have definitely given more stores. Accept for the going to the window to order process!!!

Pizza was a little greasy but it was really good.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU LIKE COLD FOOD AND LATE DELIVERIES!!! ordered $80 bucks in food, was told within the hour. shows up 1hr 30mins late! was told sorry by the driver. food is cold!!! not recommended,, Unacceptable service, and is implying that I’m lying on FB REVIEW!

Can’t review something that you can’t get . I made a detour to get a slice but was told we stop at a certain time. No where is this mentioned online. I will never try again. Off to Foxe’s in Mokena

2 stars for the pizza. The flavor combo of the Theo pizza we had was good, however execution of the pizza was horrible. The crust was so crispy on the outside. Yes that is typically of a thin crust pizza, however the center of the pizza was tough. Also the chicken was over cooked.
THE WORST PART. When we first walked in no one was there to greet us. We saw someone at the bar and walked over there. We walked past someone who later I noticed was an employee. No acknowledgement from him. I’m assuming it was the owner at the bar. It was like we were interrupting what he was doing. It’s not our fault no one noticed us. Totally blowing us off even though we told him we have never been there he still didn’t point us in the correct direction. They have such great specials but I can now see why the place was a ghost town.

Have purchased multiple instruments from Midlothian Music over the years. In stock, special orders or just doing research about what gear you’re in the market for. The staff never pressures but will cycle through as few or as many products as you ask to see, while trying to dial in the right instrument for you. Keyboards, guitars, Amps, violins, setups and new strings. We’ve bought a good deal and have never had a bad experience. Also coming at you is decades of experience and industry knowledge on what brands they carry and why. If you’re in the area and in the market for an instrument, this place is the best choice.

Went there to donate some unneeded guitars to guitars4vets program. Great organization.

Always have what I need and wide selection I aways have came here for trumpet oil and it always a nice affordable price.

I love all the products but at times the service was bad, other visits there were good service. Thanks!

Disgusted with this place. Both my daugther & grandson came home from their lesson in tears because the piano instructor insulted them & was very mean to my grandson who is only in Kindergarten, all because he couldn’t play a song he had just started learning in perfect rhythm. Zero patience & absolutely no method of teaching other than pressuring a poor child & yelling at him to not take his hands off the piano until he tells him to. They were not refunded their money nor were they able to switch piano teachers. DO NOT TAKE LESSONS FROM DAVE! DO NOT GO HERE PERIOD!

Short Version: Came in to try out guitars just like any normal, decent person would but ended up being treated like a careless kid

Every time I’ve visited Midlothian Music I’ve had wonderful experiences, but my last visit left me disappointed.

I came in to see how a few of their guitars compare to my guitar that I already own (which I brought in with me.) The associate I approached was very kind and asked a few questions to make sure he was grabbing exactly what I was looking for from the back. He brought a guitar out and tuned it for me.

I thanked him and asked him if I could have a guitar stand to place next the amp so that I could swap between my own and the one he brought me.

He told me he could just hold onto mine while I played the new one. I thought of that as being a strange solution, but I haven’t been to a lot of music shops and figured it was normal or something. I appreciated it.

I was a little bit uncomfortable with how he stood there the whole time watching me as I played (I was playing for a decent amount of time) but I just took it as him doing me a kindness, standing by in case I needed help. But then I realized he was watching me to make sure I didn’t scratch or damage the guitar.

I have a bag that I wear across my shoulder that sits at my waist, and he asked me if I could make sure that the zipper doesn’t scratch it. Which is understandable, I understand how guitar shops are about zippers. I look over at my hip and see that it’s a good distance away, nod and tell him “I gotcha.” afterwards I could still tell he was uneasy with how I was handling the guitar which I feel was very normally and with respect.

He then asks me “oh, could you make sure you don’t pick too hard?” which is a question I’ve never been asked in any guitar store I’ve visited. I didn’t really know what to say so I just looked at him and then he asked me to watch out for my zipper again. At this point my thoughts of “Oh, he’s standing by to help me” turned to thoughts of “Oh, he was watching me this whole time to make sure I don’t tear anything up”

At that point I (regretfully) respond sarcastically and ask “Would you like to just move my bag for me? Would you also like to pick the guitar for me as well?”

We begin to explain to each other where we were both coming from with our statements. In trying to get my point across that I’ve never been watched so closely or felt like I was made out to be such an untrustworthy individual nor watched the whole time in any other music shop I’ve visited, I became very frustrated and the tone of my voice took a similar turn.

A manager comes over and asks what’s going on. I apologize for my tone and as I attempt to explain what happened and how I felt I was treated, he interrupts me and explains to me the reason behind the employee’s actions. He then asks what he can do for me and how the guitar played.

As I tried to continue my explanation two more times, I was interrupted two more times and was told by the manager that the employee was just trying to stand by and give me good business which is rare these days and that he didn’t mean it that way.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe the employee had any malicious intent directed towards me at all, he apologized to me multiple times. It’s just that the following things left a bad taste in my mouth:

– He apologized to me which I really appreciate, but immediately afterwards he would go on to tell me why he treated me the way that he did, which was to ensure the guitar stays in good condition

– I understood that aspect of what he was saying, keeping the merchandise in perfect condition. I was just unhappy with the way he went about it

– When I tried to explain this to the manager, I felt like he wasn’t willing to see my side, especially with how I was interrupted midway twice while trying to explain my issue to both of them.

I would give no stars. I bought a clarinet for my grandson, and a banjo another time for my husband. The son of the owner took care of my husband and me. I went in at Christmas time to buy reeds and the store did not carry what my grandson needed. A 3 1/2 plus Van Doren reed. The man said they don’t make those. So, I bought a 3 1/2. I had to return the box of reeds, as there IS a 3 1/2 plus reed made. I had my 16 year old grandson with me. This man proceeded to berate us as the group Chicago doesn’t use those and if what they use are good enough for them, we should tell the teacher this is not needed. We were verbally lashed IN FRONT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS. I didn’t have the receipt, but remember the discount. This sarcastic man was so intimidating, we felt lousy. I should have been rude, but, as a 16 years old, accomplished clarinetist was with me, I did not, nor am I confrontational. We left, and went to QUINLAN AND FABISH in Burr Ridge, which I strongly recommend to anyone, it is worth the ride. They had, ON A RACK, the EXACT reeds my grandson needed. So, stay away from Midlothian Music.

Best prices, good people. Cheap pipes

Great customer service! This shop is open till 11pm, unlike their competitors down the road. Had enough space to get my semi truck in next door over (the neighboring business closes at 7pm, so should be able to get in after 8pm). Saved the location, will be back the next time I’m in the area. Best deal i have ever seen on disposable vapes! Thank you guys!

Hey help me out big time an you guys have really good music playing too

Was pressured into buying a $110 device after explaining what I was looking for. Device is fine but not at all what I was expecting. Opened it in the store and was clearly not satisfied, but they refused to allow me to return or exchange it. Super pushy for a sale

Terrible service. I will have to take my hard earned money elsewhere got charged $40 for a broken vape pen that worker refused to exchange. I didn’t want this brand or color but he insisted it was the best brand, I go to try it a day later and he refused to exchange it after he played with it for about 20 mins. He offered to supply a very cheap replacement for my pen. I really think the level of customer service is sub par I would be very cautious of what I buy from here especially if it’s electronic.

Wonderful young man who is thorough and conscientious. Will definitely have him back.

Caleb came out to give me a quote on an old neglected piano. He was on time, professional and personable. Looking forward to working with him in the future!

Great work done. My piano has not had any service for a long time and Caleb did a very good job. Very friendly . Reasonable price .

Well, I love it 🙂

First time here, had a wonderful time. Great variety of vendors. Last Sunday of the month, I’ll be back. Thank you

LOVE THIS PLACE!! The experience is amazing! Love the sellers too! There’s actually vendors that sell antiques and vintage! Great time! Recommended! Doggo friendly!!

I’m going generous but only because of a few booths, especially Root House Social’s exceptionally kind owners & cool plants.

$5 per person to get in was ridiculous considering the amount of vendors & quality of probably 1/3-1/2. (Neither vintage nor handmade but marked up Made in China)

I’d consider going back if they upped the vendors & charged per car not per person the $5. I’d be curious how much of that they really donate per the ‘about’

$4.00 adult to get in.

Nice, smaller venue. Don’t particularly like all the vendors who mostly have Chinese goods rather than honest to goodness vintage items. Found a few things to buy, so not a bust.

Mostly food and cheap reproductions. Very little vintage or antiques.

Big waste of time unless you like arts and crafts. I spent $10 to walk around the place in 10 min. Waste of time. Also very few vendors.

Went this morning 4/30/23 for the opener of the season. Severely disappointed. Old Xmas and Halloween stuff in the barn where I usually find a treasure. A few folks with items you know were made in China, and how is Tastefully Simple vintage? I wanted to ask for my $5 back.

Mokena is very lucky to have this gem of a music shop. Our boys took Bass guitar and piano lessons for a few years and had a great experience doing so. Bill is one cool dude who will find you whatever instrument you may be looking for and can fix any one you break. Side note: he also has a sweet recording studio across the street if you are interested in locking those tunes down. If You or your kids are looking for lessons or you’re looking for some great used or new equipment you have to give Axes a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Great service. And an awesome selection. They didn’t have what I was looking for yet they still called around to try and find it. Awesome place. Definitely will be going back.

Super friendly!

Great cashiers and fast friendly sevice , not to mention spotless , you can tell they take pride in there work

Nice place

Gas

Very small truck stop hard to find. Spot

Small. Real small. Staff is great.

Yesterday I stopped here to fuel up my truck and:
I am talking from a cdl semi driver point of view:
1. Place as space extremely small. They have few diesel islands but you barely could turn the truck in their small parking lot. And usually is a line of trucks waiting to get fuel. Being so small once you fuel you can’t stay any longer because you block everyone. Indeed the place has a truck parking in the back which is limited and full most of the time.
2. Staff inside extremely friendly and polite. Thank you for your service. I was impressed by their politeness.
3. They do have a Dunkin Donuts and Subway inside where the staff is amazingly polite as well.

No shower, the small parking lot,They had waked up me at 2 Am
Because of parking.
Please do not go there

Not much for variety here. No dog food, no roller dogs of any kind! A very small place but subway was open so we did get to eat!

No parking
No shower
No laundry
Dont come here

My wife and I always have a good experience here. The staff is friendly(shoutout to Fernando!)and the food is excellent!

Friendly staff , good food , nice portions
Nice place to get a quick meal

Great food and service.

Love it the service is usually good bit can be downloaded on occasion. The food is delicious from the tamales to crispy tacos to flautas or well anything

Good food, the service not so great!

It has certainly gone downhill. Food is no where near as good as it used to be, sadly.

Carne Asada was like shoe leather. Service was slow but under the circumstances with covid understandable. Hate to say I will probably not go back.

Need to improve their food and price

Closed? No one answers phone for orders. 7 on Thursday.
