School Of Rock

My son has been in the Waldwick SOR program since he’s 8 and is 13 now. He has struggled finding a place to fit in. At Waldwick SOR he found his place and his people! In addition he has gotten a superb musical education. His instructors are bar none the best! We love the school and our school of rock family!

SOR Waldwick has been an awesome experience for our son!   The combination of weekly lessons and band has been so valuable in his progress.  We were blown away by the recent show and we know so much work and planning goes into the performances from the kids & the SOR team as a whole and we so appreciate that!  Rich & Eric have been wonderful to work with and we are grateful our son gets to learn from them!

We love the School of Rock!  My three-year-old has been going there since the summer for a one-on-one version of their Little Wing program, given that she’s too young to attend the official class. Her teacher Sydnie gently guides her through lessons about notes, instruments, songs, and singing, all while genuinely caring to get to know her and catering to her interests. This lesson is a highlight of my daughter’s week, and it is such a pleasure to witness. So happy to be a part of this fun, warm, inspiring community and couldn’t recommend it more highly!

I can not praise the Waldwick School of Rock enough! On one end the level of expertise & professionalism is unbelievable, and that somehow that comes along with so much fun & the sense that you belong to a family is truly extraordinary. The management, the teachers, the administrators are all just wonderful, talented, caring people. I've taken voice lessons where one teacher is just as amazing as the other, but in different ways, all with the drive to guide me to be the best that I can be & to step out of my comfort zone. I've joined the Adult Jam Band as a complete novice, yet I was still welcomed with open arms & made to feel at home. The Waldwich SOR is just a gem for anyone who would like to take their passion for music further, while being in the best company!

Although it was wonderful to see our daughter perform, I wish we could have heard her more. Perhaps some fiddling with the mic so her volume was higher since the other singer was so loud. The venue choice was so convenient & liked that we didn’t have to buy tickets.

Target

This target is pretty big it has a cvs pharmacy a Starbucks  and a mobile phone section,  They have a large selection of products thread store.  The layout of the store is pretty okay it could be better. The atmosphere the store was quite crowded there was a ton of people at the target. Because there is a lot of people at this location the shelves were not that tidy and there was stuff everywhere.   Altogether I would say that this trip was pretty fine and I would recommend coming to this Targetif you want to find some astounding products.

Two cashiers, but 40 people waiting for self-service. I don't work for Target,  and I don't work for free. I'm never going to come back here. I can get customer service from other stores that offer the same thing,  and appreciate the fact I give them business.

I love this place! So much so that I find myself greeting guests at the entrance, guest services, self-checkout, or just anywhere in the store.

It's target!! They always have a huge selection of different things for every need. It's clean and the employees are helpful whenever I need a question answered. I can even rack up little target gift cards and points for purchases. Starbucks inside for those casual day off shopping trips. Halloween fun at a budget price. Everything is good here. I have yet to have any negative vibes here...great experience every time.

It's Christmas time and all of the self-checkout machines are not working?  What's the point of having the machines if the store isn't going to use them?  Does the manager/management not value the customer's time?  Had to leave before I could purchase something -- can't stand in line for 30+ minutes.  Not recommended for those look to get in and out.

Our go to place for anything! Target always has great selections of clothing, accessories, toys, furnitures and beauty products. When I first came to the states, we shopped at target for our dorm stuff. I particularly like target began to partner with designers and produced cute outfits and affordable price. Couple years ago target began to offer food and frozen food sections and also widen their beauty products.

Even begin to fathom how the line in the store gets as long as it does and how it consistently seems to be this way. Also if you are a personal shopper or delivery driver be aware that this location makes you go stand in line at customer service in order to check out with items that have already been paid for, and there is an even longer slower line over there....

A little bit of almost everything, really nice experience!

I shop here quite often and never had a problem. Good customer service and decent prices.

My go to department store. Employees always helpful. Nice that there's a small grocery to grab most used items.

School of Rock

What a remarkable, generous, gifted team of musician mentors at the San Mateo School of Rock!
Pure happenstance brought us to a School of Rock summer camp program in late 2021, the flame was ignited for my seven year old (thanks to Patrick). Entry into Rock 101 brought her just the kindling she needed with the expert guidance of her instructors at weekly lessons (kudos to Chris and Ahmed), combined with the full band rehearsals (applause to Rob). The transformation of a small group of beginners to a performance-ready band (Rock on Mudbloods!) is a testament to the energy, charisma, patience and dedication of these instructors.
Our experience has been exceptionally positive – in a few short months they have managed to ignite a passion for music in my child that astounds us. She has progressed at a remarkable pace due in large part to the environment they create – a place infused with energy for learning, dedication to the craft, emphasizing collaboration and enthusiasm for sharing the love of music through performance.
School of Rock San Mateo...rocks!

My son LOVES Jimmy and the drum kit instructions and music recommendations he receives from Jimmy. My son has not been this enthusiastic about drumming in a few years -- it is wonderful to see!

School of Rock: it's NOT just for kids!
TL;DR = Adult band is so much fun! Chris Batshon is an amazing teacher and band director!

I'm an adult student and I just wanted to say that I am very happy that I chose SOR in San Mateo. I'm taking bass guitar lessons with Chris B. He's  professional, knowledgeable, patient,  and (most importantly) very relatable. He's always available to answer questions outside of lessons and he provides constructive feedback. I feel like I've learned a lot in a short amount of time. I'm super motivated to practice on my own at home and to take on new, more challenging songs.

I also decided to join the adult band at SoR, which is a blast! Chris B stepped up to direct the adult band, after the original director had a health issue. Chris created a fresh approach to directing the adult band. He allowed each of us to pick a few songs that we wanted to learn and perform; instead of using the old, prescribed setlist. It's definitely much more fun and motivating to practice songs that you and your bandmates actually enjoy. Band practice is the highlight of my week!
Also, wanted to give a shoutout to all the staff and instructors there. Everyone is so helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I live in San Francisco. Surprisingly, there is no SoR in SF. Even if a SoR were to open in SF, I'd probably still commute to San Mateo just for the people who work there.

My two boys have been taking lessons at School of Rock since last year. One takes vocals and the other drums. They both see Patrick. He is amazing and has taught them so much. My younger son is in Rock Band now performing Woodstock. It’s been a great experience overall!

My daughters adore coming to the School of Rock.  I considered other places for drums and vocals lessons but School of Rock fosters a "get on stage and play with others" spirit which is something they were looking to do more than the traditional end of year recital.  Weekly private lessons combined with weekend stage practice is a huge hit and never any complaints about going. The instructors seem quite patient in working with the kids.

Walmart Supercenter

Ton of construction nearby, so it takes a little longer to get in and out. They have all their Halloween stuff on the final display before they move fully into Christmas. There is an electrify america super charger outside if you have an EV.

Updated Review (December 2023): this Walmart has cleaned up a lot. The interior of the store and the parking lot are clean, and there's now a police presence in the parking lot and at the store, which has cleaned things up considerably. They usually have staffed checkstands open as well, which is awesome since that means you don't have to use self checkout. It's back to pre-2020 levels overall in terms of selection, cleanliness and everything else. They're really cleaned it up, and I'm really glad to see staffed checkouts now

Original Review (2020 & 2022): Par for the course for a Walmart. Customer service and product selection are pretty much what you'd expect. It's open until 11pm, like most full size Walmarts in the area now. Product selection was decent, better than some of the other Walmarts but definitely not as good as it was pre-2020 (which seems to be the case everywhere). They usually have one full size check out open in the evening and at night, then the self-checkout areas on either side. The greeter at the front door was polite.

There is only one set of bathrooms, the ones in front. None in back, and no family restroom so if you're shopping with young kids that could be an issue. This also means when they're closed for cleaning there are no other bathrooms to use. Overall it's a clean Walmart with okay selection so I'll give it 3 stars.

I didn't have the best experience with Walmart there is no communication between on line customer service and store customer service. I spent two hours there and I left without my order.
On the other hand the store is huge and seems to have a little of everything. It has handicap parking and is wheelchair accessible. The bathrooms are clean and maintained. The staff is helpful and easy to find. Their prices are reasonable. Being a superstore they have merchandise and groceries all in one store. There is plenty of parking.  I gave them 3 Stars only because of poor customer service

Everyone inside the store was great- the lady at self checkout was attentive and helped me out.

I would’ve given 5 stars, but the security guard/greeter at the exit was literally nodded out (or sleeping while standing with his arms folded) when I left.  I jokingly said “sleepin?!” as I walked by and he woke up enough to give me a no with attitude. Lol I am shy and quiet— I was trying to wake him up/help him out. He should be thanking his customers for shopping, not getting paid to take a nap. SORRY.

I've never been to this particular Supercenter! The store was very clean, and the Men's Dept was stocked really well. I found the fleece lined jacket that my local Walmart didn't have, in my size! I was in and out. I went through Self-Checkout!

THE BEST BREAKFAST RESTAURANT IN THE REGION! YEAH I SAID REGION! HIGH QUALITY BREAKFAST MEATS AND THE MOST DELICIOUS EGGS NO MATTER HOW YOU HAVE THEM COOK THEM. THEY'RE HASH BROWNS ARE BUTTERY CRISP!

FYI THEY ALSO HAVE THE BEST FREAKING BURGERS IMAGINABLE! YOU LIKE SOUP? YEAH I SAID SOUP IT'S THE BEST

LUNCH SPECIALS YEAH THEY GOT THOSE ALSO. AND THEY ARE ATTRACTIVELY PRICED AND THERE'S ALWAYS A GREAT ASSORTMENT.

JUST BE PREPARED TO WAIT IN LINE, YOU HAVE TO GO INSIDE TO SIGN THE LIST AND THEN YOU GO OUTSIDE AND GET IN LINE. DON'T STAND AROUND INSIDE AND LOOK AT EVERYBODY EATING BREAKFAST IT'S DISRESPECTFUL AND GROSS. GO OUTSIDE IN THE COLD AND THE RAIN AND THE WIND AND WAY PATIENTLY. BELIEVE ME IT'S WORTH IT.

LOVE YOU DEAN AND YOUR ENTIRE STAFF!

usually good to shop at or pick up online orders... this visit my order for 9pm got delayed, was informed as i was arriving.  picked up next morning, took 15 minutes to get my order

They don't carry iced coffee in the two quarts size. No cold brew either in the large size. I'm getting able to find stuff after the remodel, no DVD's they did something with the Redbox machine, I couldn't find it. The area is predominantly Mexican American and Walmart caters to them.

Semi Truck parking! Safe, patrolled parking lot. Clean, freshly renovated store. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean washrooms. Mostly all ' self check out' lanes

I'm just not a Walmart guy.  Meh, quality is low, and prices aren't as low as you would think they would be.  The self-checkout trend is not very people friendly, and making customers do the work and then checking their receipts to make sure they aren't stealing is insulting.  Bring back service and friendly checkers.  Meh is a good day...

BJ's Wholesale Club

This is a really great place to shop and excellent workers. Especially Jonathan A who has worked for Bjs for years he deserves a raise for his work and his experience he is always in the deli and doing an amazing job. His work performance should be recognized. Maybe a higher position?  Please give the deli workers a raise especially the ones who have been there the longest and stayed with Bjs company. Thank you.

best place ever to get tires, i was a tech and parts guy all my life, not only did they do a great job on my new tires, they were prompt with the repair, great techs, did the job right on time as they promised. and the best prices around.....take my word if you need tires this is the place to go....if you want to get ripped off then go to mavis, firestone, goodyear or the dealer.....believe me i worked at dealers all my life and will never take my car to one because i know all the tricks and rip offs they pull.

I am from Philadelphia, but your BJ's store much better than us. More assortment like TV, cameras, garden stuff. And not crowded, so you can spend less time here, but much productively.

Absolutely the worst customer service. Just spent over an hour on the phone to be told my order was cancelled. Yet they also told me it was on its way and left 20mins ago. The leadership and management is incompetent.

Working here once a week is great. Unbeatable products to eat clothing electronics prices are amazing!

I received exceptional customer service today. I called and asked Sara at the customer service desk if they had a certain baseball card in stock and she went over and checked for me and confirmed they were in stock. I had to drive about 30 minutes to get there so I was floored. She took the time to help me. It’s not every day that you feel like the person wants to help you in retail and I truly appreciate how friendly and helpful she was. Thank you so much Sara.

We made a trip to the pharmacy and picked up some other non pharmacy items. As usual, the short staffed pharmacy took quite awhile. There were only 2 people working, including the pharmacist. The clerk was friendly and helpful. We used the self check out for our other items. The wait wasn't too bad, but we had to wait for the only cashier working to get a break to come help us with our $5 store coupon. If you get there at just the right time, a trip to Target isn't too bad. If your timing is off, it can take a long time to check out. Not the place to go if you only have a few items to pick up.

You need to have an employee working in the electronics department since half of the stuff you have in there it’s locked up and need the key to open. Don’t send me looking all over the whole entire store to find an employee and can’t even find one single employee to help me in the whole store on the floor. Other than the people at the checkout or customer service. That’s ridiculous. Pay somebody to work in the electronics department!!! Target makes plenty of money an can afford to pay to have somebody working in that department at all times. They always have plenty of AT&T people there to sell your freaking cell phone but they can’t help you in electronics department???

This store is a mess. I visited on a Monday morning and they were in the middle of restocking. Some aisles were impassable. I stopped to look at some water and a Target employee with a large loaded push cart rammed into my cart which I had a hold of and my whole body jerked. He just kept on going. I had a list of items I was going to pick up but decided this was not the place to be and left.

Great experience! Found Christmas gifts for all my family. David was very helpful.

AT&T Store

Just want to commend the excellent service I received on Tuesday, 10/3/23 from AT&T employee Steven Louie at the 425 Market St. store.  He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, courteous and professional in helping me.  AT&T is fortunate to have him as a representative of the corporation.  He deserves to be recognized for outstanding customer service.

The experience was bad. The staff helped me filled my birthday wrong so I spend more than an hour in the store just to set up an account. I was later told by another AT&T store staff that I could get student discount and an internet discount for my apartment but I wasn't told at the store. I wasn't told anything at the store!

I transferred my phone number from another carrier and on the next day you canceled my services and i lost my phone number because you didn't find credit history attached to my Social Security number. My Social Security number new because I just moved to United States. And hence I don't have any credit history, so I don't know what to say. Probably I have to talk with a layer because you took my phone number and cancelled it.

I went in a couple of days ago to speak about an issue. I had with my fibre to a representative named Raven I went in a couple of days ago to speak about a issue. I had with my finer to a representative named Raven and he was absolutely amazing. Very concise gave me a very detailed understanding of my bill and my billing concerns, I just wanted to write a generous and healthy review show that there is some positivity

If you need help or have a problem with you wireless number, you better call the customer service rather than going see the staff at this store. The staff here are not very helpful, not even try to listen or solve your problem. They just keep pushing you to call the customer service. They are rude and aren’t welcoming.
