“This business is truly a wonderful store to go to. The owner is a nice person and their prices are fair and they give good value for trade ins. I recommend that everyone shop here.”
“Talk about going back in time, if this place doesn't have it then they never made it. Loaded from top to bottom and organized very, very well. Plan on spending a long afternoon there just walking around.”
“As a thriller and romance author, I always enjoy visiting bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble is a great location.
The store has a beautiful entrance with a tiled entryway that gives it a polished, welcoming feel right when you walk in. Inside, the layout is easy to navigate and comfortable for browsing.
There’s a nice music and DVD section, which adds a bit of variety beyond just books. The thriller and romance sections are both solid, making it a fun stop for readers looking for something new.
The staff has always been friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better.
Overall it’s a well-designed Barnes & Noble with a great atmosphere and a strong selection.”
“One of the biggest vintage toy stores I've ever seen! To be noted this place is on the second floor of the Antique mall. One of the most extensive collections of almost any toy you can think of from any decade. Only downside is they are a little pricey. I'm chronically into collecting and I will say their prices do seem steep compared to other toy stores and the market but you can't beat the selection.”
“What an amazing place! Went there for first time today……wonderful experience. Super friendly staff, excellent selection, customer service A+++++
Take a visit, you won’t be disappointed”
“Amazing store with thousands of discounted items. Many times finding exactly what I'm looking for, other times items are picked out or already sold. I guess this is to be expected for such a store.
Over time I was able to grab many items for an amazingly low price, saving a lot of money.”
“Found a lot of really good things here. Not as large as the Newport location, however they do have some eye grabbing things from time to time. One pick I got from here was a Sega Saturn. They also had a really good manga for a bit called Phoenix.
Nonetheless, a wonderful store that shifts inventory frequently, has great staff, and good deals.”
“Jorden was amazing! Thank you for a great experience for my girls and their dad, who was visiting from out of state. Every BAB needs more people like Jorden ?”

“I love that we have this adorable shop here locally. Anytime I have a baby gift to get I end up here. AND they’ll wrap it for you too which is big for me! I try not to bring my teen and preteen in there because inevitably they end up finding something they want too, which leads to a much larger bill! ? The ladies there are kind and so helpful. My mom lives out of town and orders gifts from there all the time too because of how wonderful they are. If you have kids be sure to stop it, it’s awesome that they have great consignment pieces as well!”
“I came to Kettler in search of my first set of 'forever' outdoor furniture. The store was somewhat busy and I wandered about sitting in chairs for awhile before April approached and asked how she could help.
She was very knowledgeable and helped me discern the differences in the different lines of product offered and the difference of quality some of the price points represented. Having answered all of my immediate questions she excused herself to help some other folks.
After some consideration I was ready to make a purchase and April helped me place an order (the color I wanted wasn't on hand ), verifying that I was ok with the lead time. She printed a quote for what my total would be and I left.
After a weekends debate with myself I decided I wanted to add something, so I emailed her at the address provided on the quote. She added my addition to the order without issue and gave me an updated price.
After the initial time estimate passed by a few days, I called to check the status of my order and was helped by the store manager. He was very transparent, explaining that the lead times given by the manufacturer can vary greatly at times and that my order was still a couple of weeks out and that he would call me when it was ready.
I got the call that my order was in and that they would follow up after everything was assembled. In a few days, as promised, they called to let me know it was ready for me ( I opted to pick up, delivery was offered.)
The manager assisted me with check out and we had a polite conversation during the process. He even helped me load the items into the back of my truck.
In all, I had a pleasant and issue free experience. My items were solidly assembled and showed no signs of transport damage.
I look forward to expanding my set in the future with April's help.”
“Kudos to KeTiya. Great experience today… appreciated the help today! You’re definitely leading by example there!
1/26 The manager, Chrissy, is a rockstar and an awesome leader! She took the time to help me look for something, and I really appreciated her energy and willingness to help. This is my favorite location.”
“Staff is always super helpful, knowlegable, and honest. They're genuinely very passionate about games and will go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for. Very kind and down to earth people. Best retro game stores in Hampton Roads”
“As a thriller and romance author, I always enjoy visiting bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble has a very nice, open design.
The store has a classic Barnes & Noble layout, but what stands out is the mix of plank flooring and carpeted areas, which helps keep the space quiet while still feeling modern and clean.
The design is more compact with shorter shelves and stacks, which makes a big difference. You can actually see across much of the store, giving it an open, engaging feel that’s easy to navigate.
It’s a comfortable place to browse, with a good selection across genres and a layout that encourages you to explore without feeling crowded.
The staff has always been friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience.”
“Excellent place. Staff the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They had retro toys that took me back to my childhood in the late 60s & early 70s. Found unique toys and stuff. A great place for grandkids. A lot of hands on toys and things to do besides video games. Telescopes, Rockets to launch, All RC vehicles. Planes,boats , trucks and cars. Models of antique trucks. Just an Awesome place.”
“Easy parking in the plaza. Plenty of items and candies to pick from. Interesting that there is no self checkout out this location. So it was a short wait to be checked out. Over all a good experience.”
“they have good sales there and a good selection of earrings, hair stuff, jewelry, ect. The workers are always super kind and the store is pretty clean. Overall wonderful store”
“During my shopping experience my daughter and I found great prices for the clothes we found

“Great staff - helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I was impressed by the variety they offer, especially for such a small place. I've been twice now, and each time there's something new to discover. The kids absolutely love it, which makes it an easy favorite for our family.”
