Michael is a pro. He help rebuild my 1971 Fender Twin with professionalism and technical expertise. I always felt confident I could trust his advice. He treated my aged Amp like a vet would treat a puppy. He gave me advice to get my 1968 Rickenbacker 330 12 back in the game.
My hunt for a tech comes to an end after meeting Mike. The combination of his expertise, experience, and his prices will have me coming back for more work. And he’s a cool and nice guy to top it all off. All in all, great experience, rewired my guitar and did a set up with a quick turnaround!

Extremely nice and always reasonable! Gus is really funny and friendly!
The service is awesome best I’ve had yet gus is tje man go see him for all your needs
I have been here a few times over the years. And I must say the staff (new) is so much fun and attentive. Always wanting to help out. I would recommend to friends and family.
I am not going to say i love this place. But i will say they are here if you want to make a quick buck. Just be EXTREMELY CAREFUL if choosing to buy Electronics from them. ALLOT OF ELECTRONICS COME AS IS. And usually that is not in great shape.
Most of the staff can be really kind.but they low ball you when you are selling your items.
They’re actually pretty good over there. And they have good service. I know it helped me a few times
Not a very good place to sell or buy certain items. They are high in price for guitars that are not even worth as much money as they are selling them for. They do not pay top money for your items.
Worst pown shop
Would give this place a 0 of possible. Terrible costomer service. This place is garbage. Better Pawn shops in the area don’t waste your time here

Address: 1980 Marigold Ln, Round Lake, IL 60073 , Round Lake Heights , Illinois , United States
Best music store around. Lessons and quality instruments with tuning and repair services.
The staff was great and helpful!
Alway great serive great store
You would of thought they would be more customer oriented. They didn’t seem interested that we even came in.
Mike did an amazing job restoring my 20+ year old alto sax that I let sit idle for 10 years. Now it plays just like I remembered and it didn’t cost me a fortune to restore. Thanks Mike!
We went to fix, my trumpet, they didnt, they actually made it lead to a broken trumpet, now we need a new trumpet, and we dont know where to go!
They have all the new releases every time I go there. It’s the best one in the area. There are 2 machines there so you have the best chance of getting the DVD’s you want. Go here NO wait don’t go here because then I might not get mine. HA-HA-HA
Redbox is a great service. It makes it so you can have the physical disc for movies or games without the movie store rental price. Also, they dont charge monthly whether you are using the service or not like Netflix.
However, they are normaly understocked and have little to offer in the way of movies when you get into the holiday seasons…

Surprised by how nice the store is lately. It seems to be kept clean and nicely stocked.
Excelente
Hey..its a walmart what more can i say!
Store was clean and the organization seemed effective. I went for some cleaning supplies and windshield wipers and they had a variety of grades /price options. By no fault of Walmart the wipers I got were not compatible with my car and I had to return them. The return was quick and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Round Lake Walmart is just a super busy store. The employees are doing the best they can.
Deli meat slicers and weight machine are filthy from previous cut meats. Clezn up while you are standing around. Management has always been sad.
Many shelves empty. Store staff shopping for drive up shoppers were rude, ignoring other shoppers.
Not the best floor plan for your grocery shopping needs.

Quick and friendly service, just wished prices were lower!
Melanie is an amazing person! she saved me from a fire

Took over 20 minutes in line on 4/2/18 if I could have left the line I would have. No apology for the wait either.
Coffee
The worst Starbucks I’ve ever been too!! I am a huge Starbucks lover enjoy all of there drinks! This Starbucks was an absolute joke! Had minor problems here in the past, usually got resolved. Went there the other day ordered my usual caramel Frappuccino waited in the drive thru about 15 minutes got to the window finally usually get an apology for the wait not this time! Got my drink was not what i ordered! Had no carmel in there! Did not feel like waiting in line for another 15 minutes so I went inside. The barista made a new one. Still not good! No carmel! She said they were low on carmel! That’s been your issue for months now order more carmel! People like there carmel! I asked to speak to manager, which btw was as rude as the barista was. I asked for a new drink he offered to make it. He didn’t apologize or offer me a free drink or snack like they usually do when you guys mess up! No apology for the long wait in the drive thru nothing! The only thing he got right was the drink, finally! Absolutely a joke over there! Not to mention they were both whispering right in front of me about the drink! Not happy! I will never return to that Starbucks again!! Seriously a joke over there horrible customer service!!!! These people do not care about there jobs or making customers happy!!
Rude impatient drive through worker.
Every time i stop at the RLB location. Worst service. Rude staff. They always seem to be out of stock of everything.i will never go back to this location.
