The staff always cares and really wants you to have the best time and provides fast, precise service. I've even found they like to get to know you when they recognize you. They enjoy knowing you are a regular and they aim to keep you as a regular. The ambiance is vibrant, colorful, fun and exciting. Prepare yourself for some great music and even DJ's depending on what time you arrive. Definitely a very cool place. I will always be calling 'The Pawn Shop' a second home. Enjoy!

During World cup game, it was super busy! What we ordered: Jalapeno Poppers(cream cheese filled, chipotle mayo) Tater tot classic Jefe Tacos - STEAK (GF) grilled marinated steak, shredded lettuce, guacamole, garlic-mayo, jalapeño cilantro chimichurri, crispy onions, cilantro, on corn tortilla SMOKED BRISKET slow-roasted brisket, bbq sauce, cabbage slaw, roasted poblano mayo, pickled red onions, fresh jalapeño, on flour tortilla. For drink: Watermelon Margarita Mango and Chili Margarita Jalapeno Poppers were decent. Very cheesy and very spicy. Delicious. Tater Tot was very delicious. Very crispy on outside, filling potatoes were flavorful. Highly recommend. Jefe Tacos were great, too. My favorite was Steak. Steak was very tender and flavorful. It paired with guacamole and chimichurri so well. Smoke brisket was just ok. Meat was not really tender, flavor was a bit weak. I did not try Mango and Chili Margarita, I was told it was sweet and spicy unique drink. Watemelon margarita was good. It was very sweet, and I felt alcohol flavor was a bit weak. Overall, we really enjoyed dinner at Pawn shop. I really loved the ambience. Interior was nicely decorated and had a great vibe. Highly recommend if you want to enjoy unique drink and Mexican food.

I went into A1 on the weekend, as I was looking for a Mac. Mark was the person helping me. Really…read morenice guy, he listened to what I was looking for and my price range. Mark and I even joked about me being such a Mac geek while he was bubble wrapping the computer for me. Over his shoulder I saw an Xbox Series One X, so I inquired. We bantered back and forth a little, then agreed on a price. HOWEVER, when he plugged it in to make sure everything was working properly he noticed a flaw. He took down the price again and asked me if i still wanted it. I said "yes of course". Point is, most places don't care and sell it at normal price. Most places don't take the time to get to know what their customers are looking for. Mark took the time. I walked out of there a VERY happy customer. Yes, I will be going back there. I recommend you check out this place. PS. Mac and Xbox work perfectly. Thank you for your friendly service. Trena

I have seen the same item on Amazon for upwards of $1600. I would certainly do business there again.

After looking at a couple of the chain stores in the mall, I wanted to check with Borthwick's, mainly because I live in Ferndale, they are local, and I have heard good things. The chain stores tried to upsell me, and would have had to order the stone, and send the ring out for setting. The salesperson at Borthwick's was very friendly and helpful, and showed me a couple options that were in stock in the store in the price range I was looking for. She said it would take up to a week for the fitting, and would be done in house. I left to think about it for a little while, then came back and was able to negotiate the price down a little more on the diamond I wanted. I made the deal, put down half the cost for deposit, and was told it could take up to a week if any changes needed to be made in the setting. Three hours later I got a call and they said it was already done and I could pick it up when I was ready! I went back, picked it up along with an appraisal. The ring looks like new. They advised that we bring it back every six months or so for cleaning and inspection at no charge. I gave the ring with the new diamond to my wife on out 30th anniversary. She was very pleased at the selection I made on the stone, so I'm happy. :)
