Always a good time. My go to place for drinks, conversation, entertainment or just a night out.
We went for their Friday karaoke night and had a great time! The crowd had fun, was very respectful of all the singers & really got into it. Drinks were reasonably priced & staff was very friendly & provided very good service.
Best drinks in Town! The staff rock,we will definitely be going back.
Good place but never have my favorite drink
Chill little spot.
Love that place for partying and It is so laid back.The people that runs the business makes you feel like your family…could use some small repairs and updated little .the ceiling leaked and ants were in there too.
3. America’s Thrift Stores & Donation Center
Address: 3225 Rainbow Dr Suite 200-C, Rainbow City, AL 35906 , Rainbow City , Alabama , United States
Very clean, many things to look through, large selection of clothes, strange smell tho
My wife and daughter love it
Very nice people nice place
I love, Love thrift shopping. I can always find a bargin here.
Messy
Nice store, prices appear to continue to rise…
I shop at thrift stores frequently and have also worked at one for a number of years and i know that pricing a pair of boots at $40 is over the top! They were not new and showed wear. The manager said oh well someone may buy them! What this does is keep me away because of these prices. People shopping often times cant afford unreasonable prices. Why risk not selling?

This store has really shot up the prices. Yet if you look hard enough and go every morning you will likely find one or two under priced good items….I do not get how they decide the prices, not very well done.
Just another Grift Store. They accept your free donations and charge outrageous prices for dirty, broken junk on the shelves while picking out anything of value or quality to put in their eBay store. Waste of time and money.
4. Union Jack Cafe
Address: 3225 Rainbow Dr #242, Rainbow City, AL 35906 , Rainbow City , Alabama , United States
One of my favorite lunch locations! Don’t go there, it will leave the place quite for us. Kidding! They have designer coffees too. This cafe is a quite little spot for breakfast or lunch & a refreshing change.
excellent cafeteria see tomato a good morning coffee very good days
The locals weren’t kidding about this place. Wow this is the hidden gem of Rainbow City. Got to meet the owner and the wonderful staff. The club sandwich is a must. Well all sandwiches are great. Next time you’re in a pinch, come here.
Good people good food great coffee I would go back???!!
Very good food but very pricey
Food was great, but service was very slow for lunch. Not the place if you’re on a time frame.
Will never go back
Not impressed. Very mediocre.
In town for a wedding and searched for local breakfast places. This popped up, and I was excited. I really enjoyed the”full English breakfast” on a trip to the UK and hoped to experience that here. Got there about 11:30 on a Saturday, only to be told that breakfast is no longer available. Very odd for a diner thats open until 2 to have restricted breakfast hours. Big disappointment. Especially because it looks like from other reviews that the food (when you can get it) is very good. By the way, the diner is hard to find. It had no signage other than a small sandwich board sign on the sidewalk. It is in the back corner of the shopping center.
5. Eagle Rock Thrift Store
Address: 160 Independent Dr, Rainbow City, AL 35906 , Rainbow City , Alabama , United States
One of my favorite places to shop price is reasonable, going to a worthy cause ❤️❤️❤️
Friendly service.
Prices are a little steep considering that the items are donated
Fun, CLEAN and the cashier was really sweet!!!
Prices are quite high for thrift store. Paid $2 less at the American thrift store down the street for essentially the same thing. The staff seemed very friendly.
I went to buy a case with DVD players that go on the car seat. And a small case with DVDs in it, all in one carry bag. I got to check out and the woman says “What is it” in a snarled grossed voice”. I told her. Then tells me that do not except American express. I rush out to the ATM and when I return she has everything spread across the counter talking on the phone saying she can sell me the 2 players but not the disc. I guess she decided she wanted them. I will never buy from this place again.
Updating to say I have not missed this crummy, nasty, piled up, money hungry store what so ever.
This place is one junky thrift store!
6. Redbox
Address: 3434 Rainbow Dr, Rainbow City, AL 35906 , Rainbow City , Alabama , United States
This store is the cleanest Goodwill. They price things to sell unlike other thrift stores. This is my new go to store!
Love this place by many items from it,,prices are Fair on most items seems blankets are priced to high an seen some shoes at 14.99 17.99 lil ridiculous but I give them a 5 *
This location was the cleanest store I have ever seen and everything was neat and orderly.
Always finding something for a bargin
Clean, nice
Stock has been low for a while and prices have really gone up. I still go there frequently, but I leave empty handed a lot. It’s sad when you can buy new items close to the same price other places. I find that most items are only affordable if they are ” color ticket of the day” and half price.
We had to stand in line at the register for a VERY long time. Apparently only one person was working at the store. We could see two women in the office sitting and chatting while the line was about 10 people deep. The cashier was great but very overwhelmed. Inexcusable!!
Goodwill has lost their dang mind on pricing lately. They have forgotten that they are a dumpster that people pay them for the privilege to dive in, not a boutique store.

I’m not knocking your mission, I think it’s great, but don’t you think you would make more money by selling a ton of things (that are given to you free!) at a cheap price than to let the same overpriced stuff sit in your store for months waiting for someone to buy it? I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even go to your store or the others in the area anymore because it’s not worth it. We used to go every weekend. Better deals are at yard sales, estate sales and FB Marketplace/Buy Nothing groups.
Most of the time only 1 cashier and men’s restroom never works
Very big selection. Cheaper then the grocery store.
Our favorite market! They have so many wonderful things I can’t find anywhere else!
Been shopping here for years..very friendly and nice people..
Nice oriental store which had everything I was looking for. I would have given 5 stars, but the young guys working behind the counter (probably the sons) were a little lacking in friendliness & customer service. But they’re young. They’ll learn.
All kinds of food.
Good selection of items. Some items are not marked especially the frozen stuff.
Disappointing…I was going to pick up a few things that I could get cheaper somewhere else. I wanted to support a local business. Product I was about to purchase was about to expire. There was no one else in the store and I was not spoken to a single single time.
Did not visit
Expensive
13. Cosmic Debris
Address: 632 Broad St, Gadsden, AL 35901 , Rainbow City , Alabama , United States
Friendly people. Probably my favorite record store.
Very cool store, helpful staff,always has the best t-shirts,stickers,and records
Awesome place, awesome staff. I would rate 6 stars if I could
Love this place! The owner is a riot and the merch is top notch
I love the crystals and other merchandise thr only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is when i bpught a bracelet and it broke as soon as i put it on.i cpuld not get in touch with anyone. I called 2 days in a row and no answer. Even with this issue the owner tries to help and guide the customers and everything is very reasonably price. His crystals are sourced from the better places and all around, for the most part, I have a great experience everytime I go. I just wish I could get the issuse about my bracelet resolved…
A cool store. Friendly laid back atmosphere
Just bought a vape from him . he swore it has a lifetime warranty and it does but u must have an applephone to even register the vape it work 5 mins and now wont do anything will never shop there again! Beyond sorry
Have never been here. Don’t know why i was asked to review it.
I went for 3 fish sandwiches and one crispy chicken sandwich it cost 18.00 which i got the crispy chicken that was crispy and their fish sandwiches were for my son and husband i wouldn’t eat their fish sandwiches are not worth 3.99 McDonald’s is to expensive.
14. Big Lots
Address: 3225 Rainbow Dr Ste 200d, Rainbow City, AL 35906 , Rainbow City , Alabama , United States
Great place to shop. Bought $200 worth of merchandise for $30.
Nice people nice place to shop
I goto big lots for my household tissue and paper towels faithfully. And I am so thankful, being disabled that they finally moved there never out paper goods to front of store instead of all way in back
Clean neat shelves. Check out lady was a prude
It’s a big lots bout the same as the others
Always have sales and clearance. Can’t complain
Didn’t have things they said they had
I visited the Big Lot’s location in Rainbow City Alabama in August 2022. When checking out I showed the cashier a 20% coupon in which I had received thru email. The cashier could not get the barcode to scan so he asked for my email address and still the barcode would not go thru. He tried numerous times and called a mgr (Deana Carroll) to come to the front.
The mgr tried the same approaches and stated it wasn’t going to work but had a unprofessional, noncaring demeanor while attempting to scan the barcode on the coupon. I have been told by an employee at another location that a mgr can over ride or resolve this issue. Instead this mgr just seemed to not care if coupon worked or not. However the cashier scanned my rewards card then the coupon barcode and it went thru. All the 20 mins it took to resolve the issue, the mgr could have fixed the problem.
I have lots of choices where to shop and it does not have to be Big Lot’s with poor customer service.
Ordered furniture, employee said 2-3 weeks for pick up. 5 weeks later and no update from store. When called employee says “We will call you when it comes in.” I expect a little more effort and explanation after a 2 week delay. Maybe make a phone call to distributor? Very poor customer service.
