“The finest place with the finest things! Grails from the 90s to white hot new releases. Excellent LGS! Huge selection of unique minis and paints. They’ll have anything you need to get your next project done. Excellent game space with very high quality one of a kind terrain to play with. Many large high top tables and private rooms. Cool customer loyalty program that has been going for 15+ years. A true gem! Thank you! PS- The staff is awesome and receptive to checking stock within reason, don’t be one star guy who didn’t get his Pokemon that one time ? The boxes just hit different at G+ Be sure to stop in to preorder early in this crazy market”
“When I called to ask a question they answered the phone and were cordial and polite. Received a Viewliner in the mail from them, It was packed exceptionally well and came in good time. They were even nice enough to include a ruler since I was a first time customer. Would definitely consider purchasing from them again in the future.!”
“Wanted to get a few silver coins sigma tested. Called the store 10 minutes before closing time and the owner was kind enough to do it at no charge and even waited for me to get there even though it was a little past closing time. Can’t thank him enough!”
“Walked in today to look for soccer cards with my 10yr old son who wants to start collecting them. Multiple employees were busy when we walked in but we stood around and waited for them to finish. My son decided what box he wanted. The workers then went on to help people who came in after us. One employee walked right past us to help someone who must be a regular customer. Then another employee was walking around picking boxes off the shelf and bringing them in back. We decided to find a place that has better customer service.
Update. Gave it another chance much better service and got what we needed fast.”

“I called to ask about selling some coins. Gabe talked to me on the phone for 20 minutes. He gave me a good grounding in coins and their value. Nice of him to spend so much time with me. He was very helpful.”

“My go to LHBS!!! Carries a great selection of grains hops and FRESH WYeast!!! Will even order strains he does not have in stock. Always has the miscellaneous stuff you need at last minute. Great place”
“The owner, I believe her name is Chris, was delightful. I haven't been to a game store in a long time and there was a vast selection of table games to choose from. I love the fact that it was not video games but board games and card games. We spent almost an hour in this store. It was easy to negotiate for someone who is disabled and they have game days and nights every week. You can look at the schedule as you walk in the door and that was very nice. While the actual game times and dates are held in another building north of this location, it appeared that it could be a lot of fun to go there and we plan on doing so. We walked in expecting to get one or two games, we walked out with six and spent quite more than we expected. Expected. But the games were great and we have enjoyed them over the last 2 weeks. An outstanding experience.”
“This place has just about everything to cover any art project or passion you may have. My wife was there to look at clay and glazes for her pottery hobby. The staff was knowledgeable and what they didn't know for sure, they helped us look it up. We will be back!!”
“Very transparent process with a great price! Highly recommended place to take your precious metals. Also has wide selection of cool coins - various silver rounds as well as premium ones, plus graded coins and old American money. Kevin was very friendly and had some good tunes playing. Great experience!”
“I love this shop with its great selection of trains, models, and toys.
The staff are particularly knowledgeable about plastic model kits, tools, and supplies.
America's Best is one of my favorite Chicago area shops.”
“Every WFF order I have placed with Fairy Tales has been received in excellent condition. Their packaging of such fragile items is exceptional. Their staff is very helpful and I never have to worry about ordering from Fairy Tales. Great store.”
“Nice store for all kinds of kids stuff in Lombard. Lots of Dr. Who and marvel figures and toys. Prices were decent.Not many customers even on a weekend.Staff were helpful to look and suggest items.”
“I had a great time during the tenth anniversary of the store for my first time being there and would highly recommended for anyone to come even if you don’t buy anything and just look at the great builds they have in store and the ships are awesome”
“Angie is excellent! She is very trusteorthy, provides excellent client care and very professional. She handled my transaction within 4 days. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services regarding antiques and or other precious items. Laurie M, Bartlett IL”
“Everything is good except they don’t accept Apple Pay or any tap to pay not even own app like Walmart. So have to have a physical card on hand. Other than that good place”
“Stock a little low but totally understandable given current market craziness. Prices actually very reasonable. Will definitely be returning when things cool off to start stacking again.”
“From old(er) to young...there is something for everyone! There are veteran vendors that are there every time you go then there are new comer vendors so you will see something different everytime you go...there is every scale/gauge train from American Flyer to Lionel etc to the layouts and accessories...even train signs....also I've seen barbies, pokemon cards, legos, hot wheels, hand puppets, licorice, fudge...just all kinds of collectibles and treats...plus interactive train layouts for the kids to be involved with, and occasionally full train set giveaways for 15 years and younger...very worth the price of $8 to come and enjoy the day, rain or shine (there are vendors are outside as well)”
“Michael's is the place to go for balloons and other party favorites. Very reasonable and you will be greeted with a smile. Im recommended Michael's to everyone I know!!!”
“Michaels is dying and it's sad to see it go, but I have enjoyed it since I was living in the west coast visiting the one in Santa Monica. That was my start and beginnings of art stuff that I've done”
“I didn't have much time to browse, around but I found the item I was seeking. Customer service was very helpful, and I hope to return soon because they have a lot of nice items that I would like to purchase.”
“Love going here for items on projects! Either baking, crafting or floral arrangements they usually have what I need! I like using the app for additional coupons as well. Only thing is the last few times I have been in the isles are very messy and no one is around to help.”

“Most best experiment my life I love the RC cars and other stuff. They have there when we when I buy one for my son he loved it so much that he stopped playing on his phone like he never does and guess I could buy the other RC cars when we took them there”
“For what it is, excellent. Lots of 40k. Like, a LOT. I’m not a 40k player, but it was cool to look. I’m a pokemon player, and they had some stock for reasonable prices, but not much. Pretty friendly, albeit very casual, so if you're not a fan of that type of customer service then maybe try a Target or smth. Good rewards program, and a variety of random board games/ttrpgs to buy. Fun spot, will return.”
