Arjun is an amazing teacher, taking his expertise combined with his patience and kindness. He is always making sure his students are having fun as well as learning as much as possible. He teaches kids as well as adults. I have learned so much from Arjun and he works well with my hectic schedule.
Great friendly service and had exactly what we needed. They changed out my sons guitar strings on the spot. Super knowledgeable!
I love this little music store! Owners are very sweet an know there stuff! They offer many maintance services an always do a great job. A gem in the rough.
Many instruments, equipment, cables, amps and other gear instock. I picked up some strings, a new capo and a small part all for a good price. I will be back to look at G&L basses when I’m ready for a new one.
6. BRANDON GUITAR GALLERY
Address: 902 W Robertson St B, Brandon, FL 33511 , Valrico , Florida , United States
Great store, great prices, amazing staff. Just discovered them, but will definitely be using them as my default go to.
Great Store ! I had been in here at least 5 or six times with my daughter before she picked out an instrument she liked. Staff was always helpful and polite. After playing most of the store inventory, we finally bought her an inexspensive guitar, they adjusted it, put on new strings for us and helped get us into lessons for her. We were small time customers and hadn’t spent much money, yet we were treated like we bought the best items in store.
Having had a good first purchase I told them what type of specialty guitar I was looking for, they kept in touch, let me know when it arrived, helped me order a custom case and did way more than any other store in town has done for me in the past. I’ve spent money in several other music stores in the area and can say for sure, the most knowledgeable musicians are here. I had nothing but great service and I love my Blueberry Burst Gibson Les Paul they helped me track down. I’ll be back for sure.
Wonder if they can find an Iced Tea Gloss Les Paul at a good price ? 😉
Small store, large selection of music equipment also lots of drum hardware. Staff is friendly. I always go there for the little things… connectors/ converters, Picks , etc.
Very small store, but the lady behind he counter was very friendly and helpful.
Ditto to Sara’s review. I’m looking to buy a new nylon string acoustic so I thought I would check out this shop. The lady ignored me. She probably knows nothing about guitars since half the shop is dedicated to picture framing. Still no reason to diss a potential customer. They had some cool guitars, but so does Guitar Center. Guess who will be getting my money.
Woman who worked was rude to us
They sell frames and guitar lessons. Their gallery of five guitars that appear to be the same is pitiful. Really nice frames though. It’s a gallery of frames.
I’m not sure who helped us but he did a great job explaining what was best and answering all my questions and even questions I didn’t think of. Can’t wait for my son’s new drum to come in.
Both guys were very friendly, knowledgeable and personable. Bought my resin and got instructions about how to resin my violin bow. Still got in and out in just a few minutes. I plan to go back there for actual lessons.
Joseph was extremely knowledgeable about the store and provided excellent customer service. 100% won’t go to any other music store
This is a great little place with friendly helpful staff. While the selection is somewhat limited the pricing is decent and they do have a good variety for the space they have. I would definitely do business with them again.
Nice, small music store, friendly staff with a variety of guitar options. The location of the store however is atrocious as Regency Square Mall is a very poorly designed store layout and to make the situation worse they design engineers created a mall with such poor means of entering and exiting the facility that the patrons get the privilege of sitting in long lines (usually 30-40 minutes) just to get to the 2 main exit roads so you can sit through multiple light changes before you can actually get out of this nightmare. Love the store, recommend moving to a better location.
Good customer service
My grand daughter came for her lesson on Saturday to find out the teacher wasn’t there.
Staff informed her that teacher had sent an email to me. Well no email was recved, no phone call was made to make sure email was recved
So here she is 12 yrs old not knowing what is going on!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED, and mad at

Good customer service, has alot of everyday essentials
Great customer service
Prices
Not a well organized store but employees are nice
Convenient
I just walked in there to give them another try. $15 for double AA batteries!! Their prices have gone OUTRAGEOUS! Leaving to go shop at Walmart! Friendly staff but give me a break!
So sad to see how this store had gone downhill since it opened. It is never stocked and it is a mess. The parking lot is littered with garbage and the landscaping is overgrown.
No bathroom

I love renting movies. Since we don’t have cable, this is great for renting new movies for a night or two. Just pick out a movie. Choose between blu ray or dvd. Swipe a credit card. And the disc comes out. Once you bring back the disc your card will be charged the rental amount. If you can’t return it the next day, they just add on another day’s fees. They even rent some video games.
It actually had the movies I wanted

13. Dave’s Piano Showroom
Address: 654 Oakfield Dr, Brandon, FL 33511 , Valrico , Florida , United States
Great experience, I had been wanting an acoustic piano for years and I bought my beautiful piano here for a great price. They are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in their profession. Thank you Steve and Dave!
-Courtney
Always a good time at Dave’s! So forget the rest deal with the best. Great on-time delivery and set-up! Thanks for what you do!
Dave is awesome! He took his time and explained to me the areas of a piano I should look out for, and overall educated me on used pianos. He’s genuinely a nice guy!
Went here to get a used piano. Told Dave what I wanted, and he gave me a series of options. I picked one, and received the piano a couple days later. Couldn’t have been easier. The only complaint I would make is that their are zero prices on any of the pianos. Kind of makes you wonder if the prices ever change based on being sized up which is a general fear for most consumers; however, Dave showed me his pricing schedule, and I felt more comfortable about the price he gave me afterwards. Maybe he moves pianos so much that putting a price tag on them isn’t worth the time & effort :-P. In either case, I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a used piano. Dave will find you the piano based on what you’re looking for. He didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need, he just sent me right to what I needed. Loved it.
Once we are ready to “upgrade”, we will definitely be back here.
I did not elect Dave’s piano showroom to move and/or tune my piano. I wanted to, but after my email inquiry to get a price quote, I was very turned off by their customer service.
Not very informative about the pianos
My wife asked Dave on two separate occasions if he wanted to buy back a piano she purchased from him. He told her he would give her $200 for the piano and would be out later in the day. He never showed nor would respond to repeated phone calls. Several months passed and she called again asking if he was interested in buying back the piano and he said “yes” and would be by to pick it up at 10:00 in the morning. Another no show and when contacted said he would be out the next day. Guess what, did not happen and ignored calls, text messages and e-mails about picking up the piano. Dave is obviously unprofessional and not a man of his word. Would recommend NOT doing business with Dave!
14. McDonald’s
Address: 2050 E State Rd 60, Valrico, FL 33594 , Valrico , Florida , United States
Wie immer. MC Donalds halt. Gibt überall kostenlos WiFi
They don’t know how to pick up their phone. The food and service at the store is good. I would say kind everytime but efficient.
Pretty decent. Like the people that work there.
Easy ordering. Got everything right
Went in side placed order on the machine because they are trying promotion it so went with it said it was for hear says take a number and have a seat and they will bring it out to me SO BUSY PARKING PEOPLE girl walks around the corner I think your foods at the counter when I asked does it say it will be brought out girl just kept walking walk up there all bagged up no I was setting in the lobby for good 10 min left eat in the car food was cold
They have 2 many tables shoved together so it’s hard to Walk around the salad bar has lettuce tomato and dressing that is all and the food tastes like it comes out of the box even the waitress told us most of it comes out of a bag at least she was honest
Used to enjoy eating McDonald’s as a kid. But this establishment is utterly despicable! I purchased a pie that expired in 2019! I’ve also experienced mistakes with my orders. My kid’s happy meal didn’t come with a toy! How dare you?! I’m never eating here again. Zaxby’s is a better alternative.

MC Cigars has a nice atmosphere and spacious seating.
Great place kind alike Cheers everyone knows ur name. Angel the owner is a great guy.
Good selection of cigars. Friendly staff willing to help with the choices available.
Nice selection. Friendly atmosphere.
Small selection. The outside area is nice.
Chill spot, decent selection with prices anyone can appreciate. Patio is played out man cave style.
Local gem.
I’m honestly sad to have to write this review. I pop in here every now and then to buy an overly-priced cigar when I don’t have the desire to go to my normal spot. This place is about 4 mins away from me, so it’s good in a pinch.
Typically, my interactions with the staff (usually 1-2 people) have been normal – “can I help you find something”, followed by “let me know if you need anything.” Today – I was followed around, aisle by aisle – I even had to tell the gentleman that I would let him know if I needed his assistance. Even then, he didn’t return to his seat, he literally stayed out in the aisles…believing I was going to steal something, I’m sure. It was annoying and profiling is ridiculous.
Out of petty revenge, I grabbed a few stick solely with no intent to purchase, took them to the register and confronted him about his actions. Then I told him that there was no way I was buying anything from him and to have fun putting those back on the shelves.
So, if you’re black, and encounter a heavy set hispanic (looking) dude with walking issues – turn around and walk out and return when literally anyone else is there.
* Leaving a 1 star review, obviously due to today’s experience, and THEN the fact that even daily cigars, that are normally $2.50 everywhere else are $6 here. The Placencia’s, Liga’s, Undercrowns, Aladino’s, even Oliva V’s are also WAY over-priced. Sad.
18. Hands In Motion Music School & Productions
Address: 501 Eichenfeld Dr STE 101, Brandon, FL 33511 , Valrico , Florida , United States
Our kids have taken both voice and piano at Hands in Motion, and we’ve been thrilled with both! The teachers are kind, informative, patient, and encouraging. Not only have we seen musical growth, but our kids really enjoy their lessons. We definitely recommend this studio.
Hands In Motion Productions has been a true blessing, I started recording 8 years and so many doors have open since. Highly recommend!!!!
Lannie Battistini, one of the most greatest piano players of our time, is not only my instructor, he is my mentor, my brother in Christ Jesus, my best friend! The first day that we met for me to begin my Music career, we hit off from day one. Since then folks, I have established a wonderful relationship with all of the people at Hands In Motion Music School and want to send out my deepest gratitude to all of you! Without you folks in my life, I don’t know where I would be without you all! I just want all of you to know how truly grateful I am for all of your hard work and dedication to your students! Thank you all so much! Many Blessings to you all

Fun place to go and shop for the random stuff you need.
Good
This store is very nice. Fast service. Great item for less. I recommend this store.
Like Spencer’s at Dollar General prices.
The staff was friendly and the store was really clean and organized.
Clean
I live in the area and shop in this plaza often and have shopped here plenty of times. This 5 below is ok the inventory is always stocked. I was here a few days ago and the women working was very loud and overly attentive not in a good way. I was asked if I needed help a few times to many and was being followed around the store by this women. When I was checking out the same women still being very loud ask me if I needed help again and mumbled something else as I watched her scan over my items in my cart. She made me feel very uncomfortable but I had no reason to be. I no longer enjoy shopping in stores I shop mostly online because of people like her.
No I loved it
Very disappointed went in with my wife and son and the manager followed us around like we were doing something wrong wont be coming back to this store!
