Sweet little coffee shop!

A wonderful Christian sandwich and coffee shop! Wholesome atmosphere. Home Made Breads.

Este es un excelente restaurante todo lo que se vende allí está muy delicioso, el dueño es una persona muy amable y los trabajadores también, ahora con este frío se antoja una taza de café, el café que se sirve esta muy delicioso

Very nice staff and good food and coffee selections.

The Turkey & Cranberry Panini was good; sweet and crunchy.

Good Christian atmosphere run by Mennonites. Food is about average.

Prices are high.

I recently visited this restaurant , the place is quite nice except there are several customers & workers in the area who does not have any sort of mask on or any form of protection. I refuse to dine in because there is no telling who has or WHAT has been in there. I’m not sure why the owner doesn’t mandate his employees wearing masks. This is very unacceptable & un-hygienic. This is my very first & last time visiting this restaurant.

Ok

Good movies

it was good

It was great

Quick Service and good breakfast

Service was great and our food was hot and fresh. The restaurant is small and does not have adequate seating to accommodate very many customers. The lot is also small and the parking lot is quickly congested by drive-thru traffic.

Friendly service!

Food was fresh and hot. Women’s bathroom was dirty and smelled.

Ice cream machine never works

Try not to eat here, sorry!!

3rd time this week I went in for a burger anticipating something worth stopping for, 3rd time I was dissappointed. Stale bread and dry burger. I fed most of it to the dog. To make it so bad the dog ate the burger but left the bread.

Great place. Came when they first opened about 4 years ago. Just let them know what you need. I teach guitar, piano, and bass here too. You’ll see results in a month.

Very nice people, very helpful and good prices.

Allseason Music Store sells everything you want in the store.

Great people really good service would have given 5 stars but prices are not competitive
At least 15% higher than Guitar center

Man they’ve got some nice stuff in there!

It’s ok for this size town but if you’re looking for music you have to order it. Very nice personnel.

This is an awesome business with great owner that just want to help facilitate musucians with their instruments. Highly recomend you speak with the intelligible staff and owner for all of your needs in the athens area. Don’t miss this shop

A bit smaller than their old location, but definitely no drop in quality. Still a good place to go for a wide variety of music needs. I purchased an electric guitar and amp from here and the employee who helped me was very informative and helpful.

Great selection of guitars and equipment. Top notch service. Ed is the man.

Nice selection of stringed and percussion instruments. Pretty decent prices, too.

Check out the new location!

Professional assistance provided.

Really wanted to like this company. I was cheated and conned, and after a week with zero communication I contacted them. They fumbled around for another day or two then stated they couldn’t find the item. I was left empty handed and confused. No attempt at finding the item or ordering another. Nothing. Zip. C’mon guys!

Dude I’m not sure what happened. The first floor is desolate (empty for everybody that’s currently reading this while dunk). I understand social distancing, but I’m I am attending Warehouse, I do not care about the current situation, I’m here to rave. Open the first floor for a mosh pit.

Poor selection. If you like grandpa guitars this is the place. Wouldnt recomend to any modern guitar players.

Patrick was very helpful with my son and I in buying his first electric guitar. We will be back. Shop local!!

Friendly and knowledgeable. They did a minor repair on my 1973 Bach Stradivarious Trumpet, excellent work at great price.

Great people and awesome choices.

Fun music jam!

Went here purely to find an acoustic to put my fingers on while I was on vacation… had 3 electrics because I’m recording on the way back home… but wanted an acoustix… but tbh I had a hard time finding something I could justify. I was looking for a throwaway type instrument but one that didn’t lose intonation when fretting an 11th fret for example, due to string action. Found one I almost bought but decided not to… the only section I was semi into was the very few in the back right side of the building where there was a strat, tele, LP (cant Remember), Martin acoustic….all of which were appropriately priced. None of which were at such a deal I just had to get it… was easy to walk away.

Great prices, friendly people

Great customer service

Can we talk about how helpful and knowledgeable their staff is! I came in with all the questions and they were so patient with me. Rad took the time to show me how to use the software on some equipment and Tony explained to me everything I needed. As a consumer, I felt they were honest and very reasonable with their pricing. I’m so excited to use their equipment for my voiceover work ahead!

This is the absolute best Music Store I’ve been to. Very accommodating of every culture and super extensive knowledge of musical equipment and studio start up process. If you need anything from beat making to recording to djing or even casually listening to music this is the store for you. You can even rent equipment for big parties, possibilities r endless

Real feel kinda place

Cool people

The owner Tony goes out of his way to make sure I have everything that I need. This is why I keep coming back to shop with Pro Music!

Great place if you want to buy equipment. Not so much if you want to sell your items . I’ve called the owner about some things I wanted to sell to this location, each time the owner lied and said he wasn’t there or he would call back tomorrow. Very unprofessional if you ask me , if you don’t want to do something just say it .. don’t lie to a customer.

These people cap Smh. Sold me a 100 mic.
In I end up looking it up smh this same mic is 22.dollars on Amazon. I Took it back right away

Alllllll Cap Over there look up the merchandise prices before u bye
I learn my lesson

Never open, when I visit

UPDATE:
I have visited 4 times, during business hours, only to find a sign saying there are closed for a break.

I love coming to this store.I have been coming here for over 20 years .I am a guitar player and no one has set up my guitars good as Butch has.I tell him what I want and when I pick it up it sounds like a brand new one with all the characteristics that I love and style I play . I will definitely come back and purchase my guitars and accessories here.He has good reasonable prices also . I will be a customer for life.

Service was very good, I was waited on right away, and they had everything I needed, also I was treated freindly with low prices

I have to call BS on the other comments. I have dealt with Bigham’ s music before Butch owned it and after and have had nothing but good things to say about them. I find Butch to be very knowledgeable, polite and helpful. For a small-town local music store I believe the prices to be more than fair. If I my wife goes by to pick something up for me he doesn’t try to load her down with up-sales like some other places or talk over her head and when I go in to pick things up he is always more than happy to answer my questions and go out of his way to help me.

Also, I have worked on my own guitars for 38 years and I think you would need some industrial strength equipment to “break” a truss rod that was not already factory ganked up from the get go.

Nice in person. But didn’t find what I was looking for. If your on the market for a key board, this is not the place to come. They don’t have them. But the do have a nice election of guitars and bass guitars and drums.

Awesome service… Friendly staff..Great prices

The proprietor is a friendly and nice enough guy, has a pretty good selection of guitars and amplifiers, however he can’t compete with big box stores (which I understand) but that seems to make his prices unreasonably High.

I have been to this place a few times, and this guy always has an attitude with me. Usually I’m able to let it go, but today I had it. I went looking for a bass guitar part, a pick-up blend potentiometer to be exact. The first time he was insisting that I had to bring I my bass in in order to see it. Finally, after a Looong explanation that I work on guitars, I was able to make him just sell me the part, to which he remarked “these are non returnable, you know,” yes, yes I know. He gave me a tone pot. I explained, again that I needed a BLEND POT, to which he responded, “well you didn’t say that!” I did, twice. Then he gave me another volume/tone pot, and kept calling it a blend pot… then I went as far as to explain that a blend pot is one that has SIX LUGS WHERE BOTH PICKUPS GO IN TO GIVE A SINGLE OUTPUT. He said “well, you didn’t explain!” gave me a push/pull volume/tone pot… once again I told him this was not it. He got an even worse attitude than at the begging and said “yes it is! I build guitars for a living! I know what I’m talking about! If you had brought in the guitar I’d be able to see the pot!” (Sigh!). I turned around and left. He did t even say have a good day or anything of the sort. I’d 4ather travel the 40 minutes to the GC than to go back there. There, I said it. Hope it’s helpful.

This is the most untrustworthy single business I have ever had the misfortune of doing business with. It took two months to do a simple pick up swap. Compounded by my being mislead that the neck on my guitar was ruined and sold a 600 dollar replacement. I caught this individual in several lies and truly dont understand how these poor ethics have lead to the continuity of this dump.

Kind of overpriced on chinese behringer pedal crap.

#truereview store looks out of place considering its location.. walk in and you will live the layout and awesome folks there to help.

We’ve been coming here for months for lessons and I can’t say enough about Mr. Keltner and Ms. Kelly. They are phenomenal. Such a great staff. Dallas is a great instructor. Overall a Great location highly recommended and we appreciate all their hard work.

Very nice staff and instructors. I’m taking lessons there and everyone had been very helpful.

It had what I needed, so that was good. However, the staff seemed like they would’ve loved to be anywhere but at work.

Thankfully bringing music to small town Ga!

Had all I needed for my guitar.

Great music store! I take piano lessons and husband takes both piano and guitar lessons. Good folks!!

Very friendly and helpful with your question and needs

Returned a rental and they had a very helpful staff.

Amazing customer service walked in not sure walked out with a piano

Polite service with a variety of items

Very cool spot with a great selection

An awesome spot! The dude that runs the place knows his stuff when it comes to acoustic instruments! A nice little selection in an upstairs nook make this a very unique place to go!

Best little instrument shop in the state.

I was disappointed with the repair work done on my guitar. It wasn’t a horrible job but it wasn’t a good job either.

The luthier wasn’t able to polish the frets because they didn’t have any high grit sandpaper so, I had to “polish” the frets with my strings from play wear and now my frets are “polished” very unevenly.

He seemed to do an okay job with the fret leveling and crowning but there are still some noticeable corners on about half of the fret edges and especially on the higher frets where people usually don’t play. (You can tell how he had it laid on the table because one side is relatively smooth and the other looks like it barely got any attention along with the nut which is just as sharp as before)

He also got multiple dings and scratches on my guitar neck. Which I personally don’t mind on the specific guitar I sent in, but I would be quite irritated if it happened to a higher end guitar. (It’s named ‘Rawhide’ which explains the guitar well)

So, pretty much I paid for an incomplete job where if I had the proper tools I could have done it myself and probably much better.

I’m not trying to start anything and I don’t want to get the Luthier in trouble, I just want to see quality work from the Luthier so *if* I ever bring in a higher end guitar I won’t have to sleep in fear worrying about possible damage.

My recommendation for the Luthier is if someone pays you to level, crown and polish frets, make sure you have ALL of the necessary tools and really take the time to do a good job on ALL of the frets. Also make sure to keep the guitar safe in the process.

If I had known what to expect for what I paid for, I would have pressed the Luthier to finish the job, but at the time I didn’t know what high quality frets were like.

Lastly, on an unrelated topic that really goes to personal preference, they require masks to enter the store, no exceptions. I don’t support being muzzled for a virus with a 99%+ survival rate and even 95%+ if you’re over the age of 70, where it’s so “deadly” you require a medical test just to see if you have it, and asymptomatic spread has been proven to be extremely rare, if not just another myth to keep us living in fear.
But to each their own.

Went to store this morning at ten after 11 and no one was there.

I’m very disappointed in this “business” we had taken a family heirloom to him to be repaired, he said it would take two weeks. Hey, great you got a deal. Let’s go ahead and pay for it so you will have the money on hand to pay for the parts and your time. Three weeks later we have to call and the guitar still isn’t finished. Four weeks later we call once again it’s still not done. I go to the “business” to see if it’s even been touched, and low and behold it had not. He had already told us that sales from other people come first with it being around the holidays. Wait wait so a sale that was already made gets placed last?! That was my daughter’s Christmas present as well to hear the guitar play once again that her papa had gave to her 10 years ago, then he pasted away. I will never trust this place again repairs or to buy from!

Ben did an incredible job as our wedding DJ! He played excellent tunes during dinner, then got the party started later that evening. He also gave great advice for our wedding timeline (when to do toasts, cake cutting, etc.), and he gave helpful announcements throughout the evening. Ben also added fun lights to our dance floor and truly evolved our wedding reception into a fun party.
Thanks Ben, you are an awesome DJ! It would not have been the same without you. 🙂 ~ Sara and Matt

I had Benjamin and Michael as my music for my wedding on 9/17/16 and they were absolutely amazing. They played acoustic guitar and violin for the first part of the reception then switched to usual DJ music from then on. So many guests came up to me saying how much they loved the music, it was beautiful! Once it was time to dance, Benjamin occasionally joined us on the dance floor and we all had a blast. I cannot recommend both him and Michael enough. They were one of the best parts of my wedding!

Ben did an awesome job and definitely surpassed our expectations! He was our MC, acoustic music, and party music provider and really is the whole package!! He provided an acoustic music duo with violin, cello, and guitar during cocktail hour and dinner which was perfect. After dinner he transitioned into party music that we requested. He really made our reception and knew how to get our guest on the dance floor and stay on the dance floor. The grand entrance was perfect! If you are looking for an amazing DJ, book Ben!! And book his violin partner as well, it was all AMAZING!!!

Overall great DJ, tried his best during our rainy wedding, we had a great dance party and I would recommend.

Felt there was a lack of communication, including unanswered emails and our track for the daddy daughter dance didn’t get played correctly so I can’t give a perfect score.

My husband and I booked Ben Warner for his services for our September 2020 wedding. We paid him for most of the services ahead of time. While COVID was still a large factor, we communicated with his business partner and wife through email in case anything were to fall through. We even discussed having him primarily play outside to stay safe. Up until a little over a month before our wedding, he cancelled on us- after several discussions leading us to believe that would not be the case.

While we totally understand a vendor cancelling for COVID reasons, we were not prepared for them to keep all of our money paid to them. They stated that because they had coordinated EMAILS to secure other musicians for our wedding, the fees we paid to them (>$800 if not more) would cover services rendered. These musicians were not going to be playing at our wedding so I’m not sure what services they meant.
All in all, I was devastated that Ben and his wife would take advantage of us and other people this way. It was heartbreaking to have to scramble and find someone else last minute when they had MONTHS to make the decision to cancel us.

I could even understand only giving us a partial refund, but they took every single penny. This was the only vendor that did this to us. Anyone else who canceled us, refunded us.

We were at fault in that our contract didn’t cover unexpected pandemics and there was no clause about them cancelling on us in the contract so we just lost our money.

While I’m sure Ben Warner is a talented musician and DJ, he does not care about their clientele. They have no problem stealing from their clients as was made evident to us later on. It felt slimy and dishonest.

There are plenty of other talented musicians and DJs in this area- consider them before Ben, especially if COVID is still around. He will take your money so fast and give nothing in return

Ben Warner failed to render agreed upon and contracted services and refused to refund any monies from deposit after he terminated.
On January 2019, we contracted services with a deposit for $627 for a June 2020 wedding. We had close communications during May 2020 to ensure Ben T Warner would be able to work the wedding worship with all of the uncertainties of the virus and executive orders of North Carolina. It appeared that they were noncommittal in April & May to the extent of recommending to us that we get another company to do the event. They canceled only 18 days prior to the event. At the time, NC actually had exceptions for weddings and funerals that allowed us to proceed. Fortunately we were able to scramble and find another vendor.

Jesse at Picker’s Exchange has been great to work with! I am a relatively new player and he had helped me understand important aspects about setup without making feel embarrassed of my lack of knowledge at this point. The setups I had done have been spot on and if he gives you a time for the work to be complete, he sticks to it and is very dependable. I am so thankful we have a store and setup tech in our area like Picker’s Exchange and Jesse! Thanks guys for all your help and great service!

Clayton did a great job setting up a 21 year old guitar that is new to me. He made it look and play new.

I used to take lessons here a few years ago for a few years. Greg is a really great teacher and any time I need my bass repaired, I take it here. I trust these guys and I know they know their stuff. Had to get my bass repaired by a nice guy named Clayton. I dropped it off and he had it fixed the very next day! Highly recommend if you want lessons or need repairs done. They’ve got a pretty nice guitar, bass and amp selection too. All around really great locally owned music store.

By far one of the best music stores in the Chattanooga N.Ga area…. also the finest guitar repair shop around. Thank you Clayton for the great that fret job.

It was the weekend before Valentines Day and I had honey bunny frop off Mom’s guitar for TLC. He paid for it then I paid for it when I picked it up. I would give 5 stars but that was part of my gift according to him. Just irritation
2/27/19 – I just spoke with a kind young man who took my information down to credit my card. I love these guys! They are sincere hard workers who know all types of musical instruments…not just guitars. They will continue to receive all my musical business

As a guitar player my husband enjoy looking around at the music equipment the sales associate was very knowledgeable and friendly we didn’t buy anything but it’s worth looking into

We know the owner of this shop, he is a great guy. However, his taste in employees is seriously lacking. The bald man at the counter is incredibly rude. He is short with people and seems to have absolutely no desire to help clients. I doubt anyone in our family will ever shop here or do any sort of business with them again because of the way he treated and spoke to us.

I got my guitar in for correcting action. The guy was about to place my polished guitar on the counter which I stopped him from and asked him to use soft surfaces while working on my guitar. He ultimately called me back to pick my guitar up as he was not good enough to get the job done. Just rude. Went in reading the good reviews but the quality of this place seem to have changed based on the reviews it had. I do not recommend this place. Plus the pricing on the phone was different from the in-store. Be consistent god damnit. Could not give 0 stars as one is the minimum I have to give.

Recommendations: Don’t be rude to your customers.

To over priced just not the same service thy had
