Darcy Mann: Very reasonable and he does a great job

Dante Diego: My new favorite place to get my skates worked on! Went in there with an issue, told him what was wrong and quickly got to the bottom of it! Remember, When in doubt, always see a professional and this is the place to go

Curt Saxton: Finally got the time to stop by and was not disappointed. Great edge, good service. Will be back for sure

Brian Connolly: Excellent job! I can safely say that my knives weren’t this sharp new. Regular, santoku and serrated all wickedly sharp and I’m reminded why I spent the money on the knives in the first place. At least 2 of the 5 knives I had sharpened no longer had their points from being dropped into the sink. They have been restored! Worth every penny and I will take them back.

Autumn Poisson: Had an unfortunate experience, giving two stars instead of 1 because it's Christmas time, but here's what happened. Messaged Matt telling him I was dropping knives (12/7) , got them "sharpened" and picked them up (12/12). Used them for about a week before realizing they were not actually sharpened. Contacted him and he said to bring them back (12/18) and they'd be sharpened before Christmas. Contacted the 23rd and he said they hadn't been at the store to be picked up, even though I had dropped them 12/18. Called the store and they tell me they've been trying to contact Matt because he failed to get all the knives that pick up date but he wasn't answering. Super unprofessional on his part. Especially considering I drove 25 minutes to the store from Rockford 4 times and never even got sharpened knives!! If you're looking for knives sharpened, try somewhere else.

Seth Cooper: Matt did a great job putting a 15 deg bevel on my old chefs knives so my electric sharpener will have better luck sharpening them in the future.

alex chartrand: I was very pleased with the service I recieved. Very fast and very high quality knives. Will definitely be using this service again the future.

Two Step Ventures: The only person I would trust with my knives. I’m a butcher and the cost is very reasonable and worth every penny.

Lance VanDam: Fair rates & fast return time. Great work, convenient payment and drop off/ pick up options

Neal Dionne: The Sharpening guy destroyed the knives that I had maticilously cared for for years. After dropping them at a local store and told to wait week. Within 2 days, many had chipped on the blade. Useless! $1,000 down the drain. NEVER again. Shameful.

mark edwards: I dropped my 8 chef's knives off @ ART of the Table on Wealthy St. se . They were picked up and returned professionally sharpened 2 days later. I'm very pleased. Fast, economical, friendly quality service. They were returned with cardboard sheaths on them sharper than ever. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job!. I couldn't be happier.

Herbal Tea: Wow, my knife was SHARP! Haven't tried my kitchen shears yet but they feel very sharp and they were tightened too. Very quick turnaround. The ladies at the drop off location were so sweet. Matt was very nice and professional on the phone and definitely knows how to get a blade sharp! Thanks so much and we will surely be using Matt's services again!

Jane Patsakos: Fast service, excellent work and fair prices.

Benjamin Smith: The Sharpening Guy did a great job on our kitchen knife set, service was fast, fairly priced and our knives were perfectly sharpened.

Rebecca Ruth: Matt was so helpful. He went above and beyond to instruct me on how to maintain my knives at home, from storing them properly to sharpening them periodically. The knives are sharp--maybe even better than new--and cut through tough meat like butter. My knives were ready the next day so I didn't have to go without! He will be my go-to knife-guy from here on out.

Philip Ekema: Matt is awesome! He had my knives done the day after I dropped them off. They are sharper than they have ever been. I can cut curly-qs out of a piece of paper. Matt clearly takes a lot of pride in his work! Matt, thanks for taking the time to make my cheapy knives act like $300+ professionals!

Andrew Clark: This guy knows what he's doing. My chef knives come back in excellent shape and I am yet again able to cut whatever, perfectly.

Jeff Ewanio: Heaters work. Here too early for food options.

Leah Mangan: I love Griff's icehouse. They host a lot of games for a variety of teams. Their open skate is also nice to come to. The building is clean and the staff/volunteers are always kind.They have skates available for rent during their open skate days.

Mad Money50: Love watching my son play here! Bring a jacket because it's cold other than that wonderful place to catch a game

ablynx: terrible place, bad service, and bad sport. look at all those poor kids suffering

Joseph Kadzban: Great place to skate - my Home Ice!

Kyler Ensley: My girlfriend bought skates and needed them sharpened. The guy was their doing Maintenence and he went out of his way to get them fixed up for her to skate! The place didn’t open for an hr and half. Nice knowing people still help out when they can! Friendly.

Elizabeth Kirwan: Pretty average and standard rink. Two sheets with separate entrance outside, however you can walk between the two once inside. Parking on the small side as they share lot with field. If anything is going on at the field, parking can be tight. Small concession stand and vending. East rink has one small spectator area behind net, otherwise standing room only. West rink has large bleacher area. Both rinks are super cold and bleachers are metal.

Ryan Welsh: I grew up playing hockey here, never had a single complaint.

Matt Murphy: Great place to go! Good ice and great staff

Jordan Simpson: 2 Sheets of Ice. The remodel is so much improved. Both rinks have nice ice! It is super cold... spectators have heat lamps in certain areas but it is chili so bring warm coats/blankets.

Christopher Burmeister: Need snack bar open

Rich Grant: Matt is just the best!! Keeps the place running like a top

Noah Jacobs: Very nice ice rink I grew up playing hockey here. If you are going to spectate make sure to dress warm as it is a very cold arena.

Greg Freimark: Big locker rooms. Ice is very good. The whole facility runs really cold in the winter...wear your thermals, bring a blanket, or be use a stadium seat...really, anything to keep you warm.

Mark Schwanke: It was chilly so bring a blanket but a decent facility!

Brian Miller: Little cold, ice rink right, but wish more stalls in rest room and bleachers. Courteous parents, and good hospitality.

E K: Great local hockey facility.

Linda Monroe: Love Griffin's youth foundation, my son will be in his second year there.

Adam McLoskey: Best ice in town.

Gary Morris: Great as always, Matt took care of us and arena thank you!

Max Golec: Good gym

Caroll D.: Scott is a great personal trainer

Julie Bouwens: Clean facility and friendly staff and members

Rich De Graaf: I go there for yoga. Nice work out.

Max G: Great gym, has a lot of equipmentand the monthly price is comparable to most gyms. The building is a little older and definitely looks dated but the quality if the equipment and variety makes it worth it. There's also the ice rink but I don't use it. I recommend this gym.

Jan May: Great facility for exercising. Classes, weight equipment, treadmills etc. Clean and well run.

Nadine Ferris: Awesome 👌

Ethan Schelling: skate free days are awesome, great ice rink

Lexie Adam: Place is pretty old. A lot of the rooms are pretty small compared to the big crowds they receive. For ice skating, not a lot of room to skate compared to the other ice rinks around town. Majority of the skates are either too tight or too loose. This place is only good if you're taking your little kids here, not for teenagers. Concessions sell only small sizes, most likely since majority of the people here are little kids. The pop and snack machines are broken and will just eat your money, use the concessions instead. The walkers to use when skating is pretty much a rusty bar that takes up quite a bit of room. Makes it pretty difficult to dodge little kids when they fall and push those things. Overall, not very impressed with the place at all. If you're going out with a group of friends or practicing on your own, go to the Patterson Ice Center. If you're bringing a group of kids to do something on the weekend, this place is fine for that. To say the very least, I don't plan to come back.

Dan Adams: Very nice ice rink! All the staff were nice and kept the rink very clean!

Kurt M: Great place to skate and workout.

Jenna Quist: This gym is not family friendly.

BFreeman621: Lots of equipment that is well maintained. Staff are friendly, the price isn't bad eitherUpdate after being a member for years: they're still awesome.

Dale: Best value for a gym and meets my needs. I never have trouble finding a machine and the hours and classes are decent. They are cheap and you can do month to month or three months at a time or whatever. They have a decent sauna and nice steam room. I recommend this gym.

Karl Cuncannan: It was my first time there and I thought it was very nice

Shirlene Tanis: The facility is clean and the staff helpful. Nice variety of equipment.

Caleb Curtiss: Great gym, they have everything that I've ever wanted to use. sauna and steam room is a rare thing in this area. Masks not enforced, vaccine encouraged. About $40 per month per person

Fortnite Beast Gaming: Good

Tony Fenlon: Always great ice and friendly staff!
