I went in with little knowledge of a battery I wanted to get but I described it to the lady.. she had no clue what I was talking about from my bad description but showed me everything that sounded like what I was describing- was very patient and kind. Ended up leaving with exactly what I wanted.
The prices are also decent compared to other places. Would definitely recommended this place over other head shops around. The workers at discount are also always very friendly and helpful and they have the same owners.

Address: 1234 W Main St, Salem, IL 62881 , Salem , Illinois , United States
It’s brand new but much needed service for community it’s located in Iuka.. so convient for rural service.. offers a good choices of food’s, household, health &beauty aids, and much more…
Great place to run in when you don’t want to go to Walmart. Can’t wait till the new one opens up in Iuka!!
Most things are Price Rite
Great prices and they have a small freezer section
Lines long not enough checkers
I just lost my home to day an went in With a debt card red cross gave me an the manager was very rude back the card wasn’t working as my day couldn’t get any worse I’ll never go back to there store again
HORRIBLE SERVICE. DONT HAVE EMPLOYEES BECAUSE ITS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR WORKERS. EVERYTHING OVERPRICED, DIRTY, AND JUST READ THERE REVIEWS
I will never support companies like this.
THIS IS WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA. DOLLAR GENERAL SHOULD FILE BANKRUPTCY. WAIT THEY MAKE TONS OF CASH RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WITH OVERPRICED ITEMS AND PAYING O E OR TWO PEOPLE MINIMUM WAGE TO RUN IT.
SHOP ELSEWHERE AND STOP THE STUPIDITY
4. Steve’s Antiques & Used Furniture
Address: 201 E Main St #2926, Salem, IL 62881 , Salem , Illinois , United States
This place is unbelievable! 3 floors overflowing! Definitely a must see!
Lots of stuff. plan to spend a couple hours
This place is enormous. Lacks high quality antiques though.
Great hard to find items. Some crafts & antiques. It would take days to see everything.
Steve may be a hoarder. There are lots of things and antiques crammed into three floors with narrow paths winding through haphazard piles. Which we don’t mind. Some of the best treasures are found by digging thru junk… But..
1) Put the price tag on stuff.. Especially all those China cabinets (that for the life of me I don’t know how we would even get out of there is so crammed)
2) Don’t stash the glass in a bazillion curio cabinets 2 or 3 floors up (no AC) and LOCK them so I can’t bring anything down with me.
Because I’m not coming after the only person working and going back up there just to find out it’s overpriced because much of what I saw was priced on the high end, if it had a price tag, despite being buried.
Nit many antiques, Too much junk, not clean.
Way to much stuff and honestly very creepy vibe. Would not recommend shopping there.
Smell bad, low lighting and very hazardous. High priced and not will to come down on anything. It’s like he doesn’t want to sell anything. That maybe the reason he has so much stuff.

We usually eat at McDonald’s in centralia but it has been really bad lately at both locations. So tonight we decided to go to Salem. The food was delicious. Fries were fresh and hot. Haven’t had that in a long time from centralia. Mcchickens were fresh and did not taste like old burnt grease. Service was good. I will choose this one instead of centralia from now on.
Traveling? Conviently located as a quick stop for using ladies rooms and replenishing on drinks. Hint: Keep your cup for refills♡
Fast & friendly service & the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a McDonald’s..
Food was as expected, traveling with kids so… McDonald’s was the breakfast.
Slow place…rude workers…
Better than most mcdonald’s
Dirty place
Very slow service at the Salem IL location
area. Eating in and short ya thur the drive thru.

Thank u. Y’all was great. Got my tongue repierced and definitely didn’t hurt and still looks good.
Did a great job!
These guys are awesome! They took our image by text and worked up the draft while we were on the way! Great work, clean facility, kid friendly as well!
i am pleased with my work, very much
went in with my friend to get our septum’s pierced together. I wasn’t even told the name of our piercer, but she was very welcoming at first and it was a pleasant experience. My own piercing turned out perfectly placed with barely any pain, but my friends bled a lot and when we got out of there we realized that hers was incredibly crooked. She didn’t use any types of forceps or clamps. Although mine did turn out good, I don’t recommend after seeing my friends piercing.
Sucked could get no one on the phone or in the shop went to Mt Vernon
What a joke cancelled on me as walked in I live 45 minutes away.
Never answers the phone! Smells terrible

I have never rated a fast food chain location before but…on the day we stopped in this location the staff was so friendly and professional I thought it worth mention. I ordered inside but was also able to observe the service for the drive through. This team was positive and just so pleasant. Nice job!
The best customer service I have ever had at a fast food restaurant!
Always have loved Taco Bell and every visit my family has made to this one has been good.
Good food
Like tacos and chalupas . Usually pretty quick and tastes good.
Great but always but always seem to forget parts of our order.
Worst Taco Bell I have ever been to. DO NOT STOP HERE. Customer service was horrible. I have never in my life felt racially discriminated, but definitely felt this from all staff members. We were waiting inside for 30 minutes, and several people after us received their orders. We ended up asking for a refund, but weren’t able to get refunded because a manager wasn’t there. Very disappointed.
This place is by far the worst Taco Bell I’ve ever been to. The drinks are disgusting, the ice machine doesn’t even work and the workers were using fowl language. I would not recommend this place at all.
I have never seen a fully staffed taco bell run so slow. Gosh I could have went back there and caught them up and made my own food faster than all 5 of them were working and I haven’t worked at taco bell for 15 yrs!
13. Grace United Methodist Church
Address: 116 E Schwartz St, Salem, IL 62881 , Salem , Illinois , United States
Excellent staff. Pastor Lori upbeat, friendly and caring. Parishioners are very open and eager to welcome new comers.
They have this store called gracie’s that helps mothers acquire clothes for their baby-4T
While the architecture is pleasing on the eyes, it is the Christian fellowship and brotherly love that impresses me more. This church sponsors Salem Cub Scout Pack 262, which all three of my sons have participated in since Tiger cubs. We had the opportunity to meet congregation members during Scout Sunday events and experienced first-hand the friendly, caring, and loving members. From my experience, they know no strangers; everyone is welcomed with open arms. If we didn’t already have a home church, we would have been very comfortable joining this congregation. Thank you for your support of Pack 262.
I used to go there all the time until one of the helpers were disrespectful to my children one time the pastor is amazing and so is the rest of the people
Friendly people. Good music .
14. Iron Saddle Ranch
Address: 3734 Cross Rd, Salem, IL 62881 , Salem , Illinois , United States
Server was great, food was barely warm when we got it. Good potato salad, green beans had zero taste and lukewarm and steak was good, but also lukewarm. Great atmosphere. Husband’s burger came with literally nothing on it and fries were cold. Food took 45 min to get but its a Saturday so I get it, but still. Well done steak came out before a Quesadilla and it was cold too.
Too expensive for what you get. Hair in food. Slow. Lighter fluid taste. Delicious corn. Pretty decent overall.
Good food. Friendly staff.
I want to love this place, I really do. But their service is almost always horrible. We waited twenty minutes for water, then right at an hour for our appetizers, and over an hour and a half for our main course. The restaurant was barely half full. We seen people arrive after us, eat and leave before we had appetizers. We also seen multiple tables get up and leave after not being waited on. We had to ask our waiter two times before speaking to a manager, where she then blamed the entire issue on the kitchen. Funny because other people was getting food, just not her section. My husband’s steak then came out medium well instead of medium rare. This isn’t our first terrible service experience, yet being local we have tried to be supportive. Our food typically is good so we’ve returned after terrible service. Only time we had good service was brunch on fathers day. Tonight they did finally comp our entire meal so for that we are thankful, but they do really need to get better work staff as this is no way to run a restaurant or have a profitable business.
My husband and I ate there 3/18/22.. about 4:30 in the afternoon. They weren’t extremely busy. We NEVER saw our waitress. Hostess took our drink order, appetizer order and food order. Still never saw our waitress. Nachos came out cold, soggy and grease soaked. Steaks tasted awful. Left a nasty cold burnt aftertaste. I order mine well done so I know they take a little extra but they should be able to be cooked without tasting like they’re burnt. Potato salad lacked potatoes and flavor but had plenty of celery and onions. Waitress never made an appearance the whole time we were there. The money we paid compared to the quality of the food is ridiculous. Extremely overpriced for the quality.
I’m thinking of coming up there to see xkrush.ive heard the coments.Idk.Sounds like you need some motivation with the cooks n to, give them classes on food prep n simple meals.all it takes is the right person to train them.Your place looks very cool.invest in your chefs ability n comfort your guest.good employees are the #1though.good luck to you n your buisness..hope to see you soon.

Was great food and service was good and polite try the smoked porkchop
Great food and good staff.
Good food , good prices, great service.
Great food and service. Great drinks
The perfect Bloody Mary . The booth closest to the Touchstones really needs some bottom padding. It’s very uncomfortable
Very good great people
Ok this is going to be a little long!! Nice place, and atmosphere. We ordered and salads and appetizers where quick and good. Several of the orders where incorrect. We finally, in a short time where correct. Except..1 order of Buffalo wings salad. No sauce. When they returned with the fix half of the chicken was gone. 3 small pieces. The food was good.. but then when your ready to pay! They automatically add an 18% tip!! Example: 24.99 steak meal, and tea came to 37.46. I handed the waitress 40.00. Quote” do you want any change?” Wow! The other 4 couples received the same high bills! Suggestion! No more than 7 people and decide your own basis for a tip. Sorry, will not return!
Went on a Friday evening and they were way too busy for their kitchen. We should have known better and they even told us it would be awhile, 3 hours later we finally were checking out. Food was good, but not worth the wait, drink refills were terrible because waitresses could not handle the crowd, experience overall was not good.
Like to have fish on Friday. Called ahead of time and asked what kind of fish they had. I was told it was cod. Decided to try it. Ordered salad came quickly. Waited quite a while for the rest. Brought it out it definitely wasn’t cod. Prebreaded whitefish of some kind. Pollock I would say. Got the usual explanation blaming everything on COVID. Used to be a great place to eat. Not so much.

I love Byassee Keyboard and Sound. My first clarinet came from them many years ago and they’ve been excellent! Keep up the great work!
Always a great experience! Top class customer service.
Everyone is very nice and knowledgeable. The store is organized clean and and a great selection. Keith set up my acoustic perfect it plays like a dream now…
It’s my go to music store..
Thanks again…
Very friendly and helpful. Nice to still have a brick and mortar music store in the area.
Best place ever to me
Really nice people, just very overpriced
They sold me a violin for 2,000 and when I had it appraised the specialist said they cost $100 for a set of three. I will never do business with them again and I urge anyone to go elsewhere
17. Front Row Center Music
Address: 1507 N Main St, Benton, IL 62812 , Salem , Illinois , United States
This guy knows his stuff. Been going there for years for drum equip. Has used merchandise too. Lots of inventory.
Guy was very helpful, had some used merchandise that saved us a ton of money. Highly recommended
Has what you need when it comes to musical instruments needs..friendly service and knowledgeable..
The little unknown place with hidden gems!..
They seam to have what you need. In music supplies.
Nothing in the store was priced. Took the time and found a stack of records I wanted to buy. He said he’d have to go on the internet and price each, one at a time. Gave him about 10 minutes to do that while I shopped. When I was ready to go, he only had one priced, and it was more than twice what it was worth on Discogs. The place was filthy and stinky. So, told him never mind on the records and I would buy the drumsticks and a kick plate. $16.09, fair price. Gave him a $20 and he didn’t have any change. Finally got so frustrated and just left. Don’t waste your time here.
Music store that appears to be run out of someone’s house. It smelled like stale cigarettes and was extremely disorganized. The guy running the place seemed to know his music but unfortunately I couldn’t handle the smell of smoke and was afraid that anything I purchased here would likely bring the smell home with me. Very friendly and helpful but this place desperately needs to be aired out.
Disorganized and everything is not priced with a tag, you have to ask him to look it up online in order to get a price. You may be there for an hour waiting for him to price each record or instrument you want. You will have better luck going to Guitar Center 20 miles away. Prices were not negotiable as well, just seems like a used music store should be more open minded to pricing and all.

Address: 4510 N Illinois St #3, Swansea, IL 62226 , Salem , Illinois , United States
Steve the owner of this music shop fixed my daughter’s clarinet in just a few seconds and he also looked for common problems before we left the store. When we got to the shop he was about to close but he still helped my daughter fix her clarinet. Excellent customer service!.
Friendly, helpful and great service! Steve was very helpful in re-stringing an old violin and also very knowledgeable about classes and other instruments.
I’ve come to this place twice now, and both times I have been so overly happy with the quality of customer service I’ve received! Very very knowledgeable owners, and you can’t beat their guarantees! Honestly, you get your money’s worth shopping here! Family owned, and a great selection!
They appear to no longer be in business.
Simply call to find out the brand of acoustic guitars they sold when I mentioned name brands the lady was set off very rude on the phone and hung up on me her name was Sharon
Do not put an item on consignment with this business. You will never hear from them again. Disgraceful business tactics + no communication regarding the issue. I will do everything possible to discredit this business.
The owners were rude and condescending. I got the impression that not EVERYONE was welcome in their store. They may have a large selection of music, but I’ll take my money and my dignity to other music stores.
