“Had the pleasure of working with Carlos at the Hilldale store in Madison, WI to buy a suit today. Carlos was courteous, impeccably dressed, highly professional and tremendously knowledgeable. The whole process was very impressive. There were so many options and Carlos helped navigate the process so we felt very comfortable. The fitting process was precise. I highly recommend this store and specifically Carlos. Thank you!”
“I love this store! They had to move because of construction at their old location, but I think this new location on Winnebago is even better. They have the best fair trade items! I’ve purchased candy, soaps, cat toys, cards, coffee, tea, and snacks as gifts and for myself. I love their jewelry so much, I can barely leave the store without buying something. They also have beautiful clothing, purses, candles, dog toys, and more. I’ve bought so many Christmas gifts there! Seriously, check it out.”
“Sarina Brion is a master of her craft. I've worked with her at Tom James for a custom suit and tuxedo throughout the years, and the results were always flawless. Her ability to nail the fit and select the perfect fabrics made the entire process effortless everything. Even when I don't even know what I'm looking for at times 😅
The quality of the bespoke tailoring is top notch, but it is Sarina’s eye for detail and professional guidance that truly sets her apart. If you need a high-end suit or a standout tuxedo, she is the only person to see.”
“I had an amazing time shopping here! Excellent selection of warm men’s clothing. The owners were incredibly nice too. I ended up buying a cushy jacket and a knit over shirt.”
“Kyle is the man! He has since moved to the West Side location. He helped us get my husband and sons fitted for suits for my oldest son's upcoming wedding. We made an appt many, many months before but unknowingly during prom season rush. Even though it was PACKED, he was calm and cool and walked us through the entire process flawlessly. He helped us get the most bang for our buck and we ended up ordering a custom suit for my husband, a suit for my son, and a got fitted for a rental for another son.
When the custom suit came in a month later it was *flawless* in fit. I have never seen a pair of suit pants fit my big and tall husband well before. Score! Kyle knew exactly which fit to order that would fit the best (and it wasn't what I would have guessed - slim fit pants for the win, y'all!).
In the following months, Sam was extremely helpful and detailed oriented, helping us with pick up of the tailored to fit pants & jacket we had purchased for my son and measuring the fit for the length on the custom pants when they came in (they arrive unhemmed). She personally saw to us getting exactly the shirt needed in 4XLT (not something carried in the store) shipped to our home well before our event.
The employees at this location know their shit, to be blunt.
Be aware, prom season and wedding season overlap. It is BUSY. If you show up on a Friday afternoon or any time on the weekend, it is going to be packed. One guy was there on a Friday trying to get situated for his wedding *the next day*. My dude. Plan better. 😅🫠 I also could not believe the amount of people.picking up rentals the day before a wedding. I asked for our rental on the W before our event, and booked that in April for a mid-july wedding. Yikes on bikes, people. So yes, some very cranky wedding goers were seen but I think with proper planning so you are not scraping by at the last minute, you will have a very good experience not feeling rushed.”

“Ordered a broom and got it the next day. Steve was so nice and understanding when I called. First time doing business with Steve's Curling, and won't be the last. Totally earned my business! Stellar customer service!!”
“Kathy was very helpful in finding a pair of boots, a suede protectant, and a leather conditioner. She explained how to order online due to a backstock issue and answered all our questions when needed but didn't linger or make us feel pressured.”
“Just stopped in after eating at the Turkish cafe and got some cute pants. The shop owner was super nice, and told us so much of how she and her husband came about all the great prints, and the shop! Madison ... this is a gem with cute stuff for gifts for your friends or co workers. So much to look at! I highly recommend this store!”
“Full board set up, and shirts bought. Van was very nice and went through everything they did. Taught many tips for board set ups, very enthusiastic, and trucks were on the right way! Comfortable conversation was also provided. Thank you so much and continue shining bright!!”
“The East location has such friendly employees! And nobody makes me feel guilty for a big return! ?. Plus, last time I checked, Old Navy doesn't fund fascist dictators, so I prefer to shop here no matter what. This just happens to be a superb location.”

“Came to read the reviews and wanted to also share our experience with Linda the associate! She made us feel welcomed and was one of the nicest individuals I’ve encountered while shopping these days! Hoping to call and let her manager know as it was our first time here and won’t be the last! Kindness goes a long way!”

“Google asked me how my visit was...and I really had to think about it. When I walked into the East Town Mall Hot Topic....it felt more like a Lukewarm Conversation. Gone were the mall goth employees and black spiderweb windows that would drive fear into Suburban soccer mom's hearts. No longer were there aisles of CDs, records, or headphones to listen to HIM's newest music. Instead, racks of Spongebob and Naruto merchandise lined the middle tables, toys from all kinds of nostalgic 90's movies, and novelty t-shirts that seem more like "tepid topics" than anything current. I walked in very specifically because I had a gift exchange where the person wanted Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise...which is at the store in droves. Did I buy something? Sure did. Would I do it again? Tough to say... I can't think with the 13-year-old inside of me screaming that Hot Topic has become what it most feared -a poser.”
“The worker that helped me today was SO wonderful, and helped me find sales when he noticed I was staring at certain items. He unpromptedly checked the back for something he thought I’d want (and was right! It was my favorite purchase that day!) and was very sweet and attentive. He even greeted us on the way in and checked in to make sure we were finding what we wanted. Also pulled some graphic novels from the back that had just been stocked but not put out yet for my sister. Absolutely wonderful service and I would and will come again!”

“Great sales. Great value. So easy to do Amazon returns here at a dedicated Amazon Returns desk near the back corner of the store, well signed to locate it. No standing in the much longer regular checkout lines! And they even printed off a $10 off $25 coupon at Kohls for ne to use.”
“I had an excellent experience at DXL Big + Tall. It was my first time visiting the store, and Dean made the experience outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to help me find the right sizes. He explained everything clearly and made the shopping process easy and enjoyable.
What stood out the most was how accommodating he was to my family while I was shopping. His professionalism and genuine care for customers were greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Dean, for the exceptional service. I highly recommend DXL Big + Tall!”

“Lovely items! I am not sure it is a typical thrift store most of the items were boutique stuff, so there were a lot of supplies of similar items. Reminds me more of Charlotte Russe in the clothing options. Great location and price for items were reasonable. Be sure to check out their bulletin board too, lots of resources and information about local activities and events.”

“Today my girlfriend got a bad headache at the mall and we sat on the bench in front of the Vans store. I decided to ask them if they had any aspirin for her head. They have me a bottle of cold water and some aspirin. We couldn’t have been more great-full. They helped us and we didn’t even go in the store. Great people there. Highly recommend.”
“What an incredible store! I was so excited to see my friends store while in Madison for Thanksgiving and was not disappointed. The colors and merchandising just warm you up right when you walk in. The team is friendly and attentive. I couldn’t stop my eyes from roaming all around to take in all the colors and merchandise. Great selection of brands You definitely know how to create a Buzzzz lol. 😂 Hope the shop has a successful holiday.”
“Had a shipping issue with my order, but the manager, Stephen, was super nice and helped me get set up with something better since we were able to talk through what I really needed. He was very knowledgeable and chill. Great service!”
“I wish I would’ve gotten his name, but, about one month ago there was a nice gentleman with blonde hair who was so incredibly helpful. I am never one to ask for help or accept help in stores, but as I was walking around wondering where to start, he jumped right in and offered to get me a fitting room started with different sizes to try on. I accepted the help and the first round we found my size. He had such a professional, calm demeanor that you don’t find nearly as much. I will absolutely be coming back to this location to buy my future jeans.”
“Love this place. They take the time to get to know you and your tastes. Only place I can find unique casual men's clothing in town. It's a little pricey, but I am willing to pay for cool quality clothing. It's better than any stuff at the boring department stores.”
“I’m extremely satisfied with how they managed my online order. I purchased an expensive pair of NEIGHBORHOOD jeans, and their staff were exceptionally cooperative on the phone and promptly addressed my concerns. I would love to visit their store next time I’m in Wisconsin ❤”
“Miles was awesome! He was so helpful and kind. I have an elderly father that he was so willing to help with trying the things on! Five stars definitely! Would recommend!”
“I just recently visited this store and it was a great experience! Leah helped me out a lot, explained the sizing to me and the discounts available when i went. She remained very patient and kind throughout my entire visit and was wonderful to work with and talk to! Very pleased with my experience and as this is the closest aero to me, i will be back!”
“Took the grands back to school shopping. Kohls was my main destination. I think they have good quality clothing & offer a variety of styles. 1 grand found a dress she liked but was not in her size. We took it with us to checkout & the associate was kind enough to search online & inform us which nearby store should have the correct size. With her assistance we were able to go to the suggested store & purchase the desired dress in the correct size.”
“I had cut back on shopping at H&M because of their descent to fast fashion. But there were no other contemporary stores in this mall so I checked it out and glad I did! Qualities of the items I saw were great. They also provide discounts for bring items to recycle which I did. There is also a student discount which if I am not forgetting to as 15% off. Staff were great and the store is well organized.”
“I needed to return an item I had ordered online in the wrong size. At the return desk the associate was very helpful, checked to see if there were any of the same in stock in a larger size. There were, and she directed me exactly where to fine them.
Once in the Women's department, I got a little turned around, so asked for help at the check out desk. A lovely associate named Nadja walked with me and located exactly what I wanted. She was so lovely and gracious and helpful.
My whole time in the store was pleasant, easy transactions. What a nice experience. I might start shopping more in the store and less online.”
“I rarely write reviews, but Ashley, the store manager working on 8/16/26, absolutely deserves to be recognized. From the moment my husband and I arrived until the moment we left, Ashley provided exceptional service. She greeted us warmly, was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help us, including checking the back for additional sizes. What stood out to me even more was seeing the way she supported her team. While providing us with excellent service, she was also taking the time to guide and educate a coworker who needed her assistance. Watching her balance both customer service and leadership was truly impressive. Ashley turned what would have been a quick shopping trip into an outstanding experience. Her professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and leadership are exactly what exceptional customer service should look like. I sincerely hope her dedication, leadership, and exceptional service are recognized by the company. She absolutely deserves it.”
“Dar was incredible to work with and very accommodating. She provides excellent service and high level of detail. She went above and beyond that everything fit perfectly for my wedding suit. I’m a person with broad shoulders and I felt at ease knowing she was able to provide the best fit for my body type. I feel confident and ready for my big day - thank you Dar!”
