“My kids absolutely love this store. We have come here for pokemon cards a few times. The prices are fair and the owner is incredibly nice. Bonus points for sponsoring my kids' little league teams.”
“Ultimate Autographs is the place to be. They are amazing. It’s fun, great conversation, definitely worth the price ( and it varies for anyone that wants to try it out) they walk you through the process and are patient with new comers, just an outstanding outfit. I recommend to any sport hobbyists to get on and check them out! You won’t be disappointed.”
“So many different, new (and some old) games to choose from for all ages. Employee Kyle was so helpful pointing out popular, or his favorite, games. He even taught us how to play a few.
Open one Saturday a month til midnight. You can bring in your own games or use the complementary games available in the store.
Thank you for all the future fun we will enjoy with our family and friends.”
“Was very busy and hard to get help but after being there an hour with my kids I finally got help and was able to Purchase the slotcar I wanted/needed to race with my friend I'll definitely be back. They got a good little hidden selection of slotcars unfortunately they don't know enough to help other people ,with questions or carry new tires for the slotcars.”
“Employees were very helpful directing me where to go. I had use of their wheelchair. I left my rollator at the desk, to use the chair. Upon returning it, another associate help me to my car, and made sure I got the rollator in safely. On an extra hot day, I appreciated their safety efforts. Thank you, Michael's!”
“Fun store to visit. I went to 2 locations. One was in Bridgeview on 88th Harlem, and 2nd one was in Orland Square. Both locations are free standing. They are open every day except Sunday and certain holidays. They offer a variety of home decor, craft materials and seasonal items. I recommend people visit to take a peek. Both have handicap parking. The orland store has a few floors. They have elevators and an escalator if needed.”
“When I was a kid I sometimes got dropped off at my aunt’s house in LaGrange, and my little cousin and I would skateboard here bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, dying to get a glimpse at some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the display case or buy a few packs or cards of our own. Yes Steven has that very dry sense of humor and droll attitude that some people might not like, but that’s PART of Steven’s experience! He’s never mean. We LOVED going and talking to him, sometimes he would get a little aggravated with us and we would turn to each other and giggle, and he would talk to us about the card game and help us understand things. If I could go back in time and relive those core memories I would without a second guess, times were much simpler when we skateboarded down the street to Steven’s. He also taught us a lot of invaluable lessons! One I still use to this day! (Read the fine print on eBay listings, they’ll send you an empty box if they can!)”
“Bought my first scale model for the heck of it and realized I needed some model cement. Didn't want to wait for Amazon so I saw this was the closest hobby store. Was amazed immediately upon walking in. They have a HUGE selection of models (military, gundam, airplanes, etc), puzzles, and crafting items. Didn't explore too much in the back but looked to me like they had a ton of stuff for RC and slot cars. Definitely coming back next time I want to build something!”
“I meet Captain Steve today the owner!! Him and his son Tom run the business.. if you're looking for anything vintage baseball cards, records, old model cars, and many many more things, you should stop by and check it out. Plenty of parking on the side street right next to the shop. Steve and Tom are friendly nice and not pushy owners!”
“I love the vibe of the studio & Carlos is the best! He is very knowledgeable about crystals & he's very nice. I highly recommend paying a visit to Inner Arts Studio!”
“Michaels has many quality products and services for you at very reasonable prices! The staff is always very helpful and friendly! I also appreciate their military discount which other local craft stores do not offer! A big thanks to Michaels!!”
“Visited yesterday to get something framed. The person who typically does the framing wasn't there. There was however a most helpful associate! She makes me believe in customer service again!”
“Hobby Lobby is still my go-to store to feed my hobby hunger. They carry a great selection of seasonal merchandise and offer money-saving discounts so I can buy all my favorite items.”
“Staff was very helpful in the Framing Department, and even let me know about sales and discounts that I had no idea about. Will def shop at this location again soon!”
“Hi, I am on my daughter’s account. I finally found some fabric. She always wanted to go to Walmart, but we’re telling her no but finally we find her a store that has fabric. Thank you so much!”
“They have a surprisingly decent selection of board games considering their small footprint, and their prices are acceptable. You can usually find a good deal on something 10-30% off on occasion too, if you aren't picky.”
“An employee named Jeffrey helped me out ENORMOUSLY. I had a horrible experience with the GameStop at Riverside mall where they essentially refused to refund an insurance they pushed me to buy for my switch 2 (which I did not want). Jeffrey at Hodgkins helped me out quickly and easily and did not guilt trip me for canceling my insurance I was forced to pre-order a month ago. Actually an incredible guy, will only be going to this GameStop going forward. ?? Jeffrey needs a raise and recognition, actually the goat of GameStop. Thanks to him I will be coming in much more often.”
“Joe, the owner of LC&S is a very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to work with. Have made several small but important coin purchases there over the past 6 or 7 years. Recently Joe helped me with the sale of some Sterling Silver Flatware. He explained the process involved in determining the flatware's value and suggested that I visit several shops to get quotes and then to take the best one. When all was said and done Joe was able to make a more than fair offer and I sold to him. I always have trusted him and feel comfortable with his knowledge and expertise. I feel working with him is always a win - win situation.”
“Great place in a historic building full of charm. Definitely a must visit for those who are serious about model railroading.. the shelves are stocked to the top with kits that are difficult to find elsewhere and the deals are some of the best I've seen in the hobby.”
“This place is really great! Highly recommended! Especially to those people who really love stuff for crafts. This place is the best! They have so many interesting things here, their selection is very large, and the whole place is really enjoyable. This spot is very clean, cozy, neat, organized, and bright. Everything here is great! Fantastic customer service! Their employees here are really nice, decent, and knowledgeable. They all know how to treat their customers so right. Also, they will help you to find the things you need. They are so accommodating. You can also check out so easily because they have many cashiers. Awesome service. This Michaels is very accessible, their location is very near and easy to find. You can go to their spot in just a few minutes from your area. Very convenient. The only reason why I gave them four stars is because their restrooms need some repair. But their place is still my preferred place to buy things for crafts and others. They are way better and cheaper than other stores around the place. Plus, this Michaels is also a great place to buy some decorations for Christmas and other special holidays. You can also order online and visit their website. They will bring your order to you quickly. Really wonderful spot! All of their items have really good quality. A really must-visit place for arts and crafts. I will definitely go back here again when I am nearby and I need some crafts again. Thank you for your awesome service guys! Also, thank you for giving us such an amazing experience. Will see you again soon! Keep it up! Well done!”
“I want to give a huge shout out to this amazingly kind little store. I was searching for a very specific item & one of their employees was kind enough to tell me the day their trucks came in & told me I could call & check. For two months I called and spoke with Alejandra and not only were they patient with me, they were kind enough to actually look. (I had called other local stores where I live and those employees were horrible to me.) I’m happy to say after my perseverance I got my ghost, and the staff was helpful, most importantly KIND after my two-hour round trip to get there. They really went above & beyond and I can’t thank them enough.”
“I'm very new to coin collecting (roughly three/four months into the massively addicting hobby) and while I've not visited the shop (yet), the amount of education, knowledge and willingness to offer their time to explain the intricacies of certain coins and what to look for during their WhatNot shows is above and beyond I've seen elsewhere. Keep it up fellas and readers of this review...get on over to the store. Nobody's got these!!”
“Not the biggest selection, but the prices were agreeable and the merchandise in pretty good condition. The guy was helpful, and I'm happy with my rolling stock that I got. Ironically the locomotive I have with the same coupler decided to stop running that very same day. Oh well. If you need rolling stock or a few locomotives I think you'll find what you're looking for there”

“Marty helped me very much during my visit he is a great guy and very nice and knowledgeable person, this is a small store but somehow they have everything you need, I came into the store looking for a 1/35 Panzer model (nothing special) and I came out with a Panzer IV ausf.G and a lot of tools to start my new model. I’ll be coming back soon for all the paints and extra stuff I’ll need in the near future.”
“Great place, nice/cordial employee at the front
Took care of my needs and is ordering me in some cards I was looking for.
Definitely will be a recurring customer for my small museum of collectibles and will refer my bigger collector friends as well”
“Excellent sale workers were putting stock out and when I ask them about items they just pointed me towards the front and I still couldn't find the item the cashier was very friendly.”
