This was my first time having traditional German food, and it was amazing. I got the knockwurst platter, and every element was awesome. The sauerkraut, potato salad, and wurst were all excellent. I am not normally a fan of sauerkraut, but this was so well done, the flavor was just right. I cleaned the plate. Unfortunately I had a cold so I passed on getting a beer, but I will be back here soon getting the same plate with a dark stout!
It was a very authentic experience. Keep in mind that German food is by rendition somewhat plain, and all the flavors I experienced were "just right," in a good way. Not too much, not too later. A very welcome break from the sometimes over-flavored, over-seasoned, over-spiced foods that are more common in American restaurants.
Lastly, the price is just right.
I expect to be coming back regularly.
I'm new to eastern North Carolina, and this is the first time I've been to this guitar center. I won't be back. I've been been to guitar stores all over this country including at least a dozen guitar centers. Guitar center is typically at the bottom of the pile in terms of customer service, but not usually in a way where I say "I'll never be back here." For instance, the guys at Guitar Center in Nashville, where I lived for six years, were generally pretty polite and reasonable human beings. However, the guy I interacted with on the floor of this guitar center, I believe he was one of the guitar techs, was downright rude to the point of being condescending. I was was friendly with the guy the whole time, but he didn't change his act. I handed a guitar back to him and he ripped it out of my hand so hard it startled me. It's hard for me to describe his behavior, exactly, but it is one of the very few times in my life I've wanted to cuss somebody out for what an inexcusable asshole they were. Maybe just a bad day? Don't take it out on your customer. Anyway, it not only the guys attitude that was deplorable. The 1959 vintage reissue strat that I tried out was not set up at all. Strings buzzing, intonation way out, just unplayable. I will try and buy somewhere else.
The guy working in keyboards was nice, and he helped me out too. For all I know, the guys in drums and pro audio might be cool, too. Hence 2 stars instead of only 1. However, when it comes to shopping guitars, I will not even consider this particular guitar center in the future.

My wife needed to get her nose ring removed for a new job. The ring had been healed over and we wanted help getting it out, so we gave this place a try. I'm glad we did. They helped us out and were very kind in the process. The place has a very professional air about it and a very cool vibe, definitely a "studio" feel to it. I would highly recommend this business to anyone.
Awesome haircut, great price. I don't live in Stuart, but if I did I would be a regular at The Place.
Awesome haircut at a great price. I will be returning. At the moment, it is walk in only, so be sure to call ahead to ask about wait times.
