ExcellentBased on 34 reviewsHannah Reyes2022-02-22I came in today with broken frames and my glasses were fixed within minutes. The young man working was extremely personable and helpful. They are affordable and their staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. I would highly recommend this establishment for all of your eye care needs.Tonya McMichael2022-01-27Very pleasant experience. Everyone there was genuibely interested in getting us the best help. We esp loved how they helped to choose our frames...they were very sweet and honest with ea pair that our family woyld try. They really have an "eye" for what would best "frame" your face (wow, I'm very punny tonight). Side note: they are out of network. Also, be sure to have them break down your out of pocket cost before buying. I incurred more costs than what is merely tagged on the glasses. Anyways, check them out!Salvation_or_Demise2022-01-20Amazing people, and amazing serviceBrandi Barrick2021-10-09Excellent business! Initially we bought my 2 year old’s first pair of glasses here. I returned to when it was time to purchase mine. My husband has also purchased glasses here. Wonderful experience 3 separate times!DAVID STARKEY2021-01-28Thanks for job well done.Myranda J2020-12-28The only place I'll go to for my glasses! I've been going for 3 years and needed an emergency replacement for my glasses twice and they've always gotten me in a new pair right away. Highly recommend going there for your family!Kimberly Applewhite2020-11-01Wonderful Family Owed Business !!!! I felt so welcomed and already apart of the family. In my first visit!William Marine2020-10-24A family owned business that offers great products and wonderful service. I bought a pair of s-frame Oakley sunglasses from them and really appreciated the time they took to inform me of the importance of choosing a polarized set of lens.Toni Roumain2020-10-03Nick B2020-09-17After having a not so great experience at a different Eyewear store, it was recommended i come to The Spectacle by a friend. It was a great recommendation that I want to pass on. Very cool place, extremely helpful staff. Great selection and they were able to help me while I waited. Its not often you find places with great products and even better staff, but this place is one. They will treat you right and you will leave happy. 🤙

We reached out to them when our regular optical could not help us due to the Coronavirus. This team met us on a SATURDAY and was able to find a frame and fix the lens so they fit!!!! Cannot say how much this was appreciated! We will definitely be loyal customers from now on.l!!!!Thanks so much for taking such good care of us!!!!

April 14, 2017... read more Great service, very quick and thorough exam. They offer a wide selection of frames and offer a very quick turnaround in dispensing your glasses. The price for the exam and the glasses was less than my last eye exam. Great hometown people, I look forward to doing business with them for a long time!
January 12, 2017... read more My 6 year old had to get her first eye exam and first pair of glasses. The workers were very attentive and so kind!

April 11, 2016... read more I went to the spectacle yesterday with my prescription I have never been to a more inviting business. Both tracy and Daniel gave me honest opinions for my new glasses and we all got a good laugh at some of my choices. I felt like I was with friends trying on glasses. We landed in a pair and we sat down and tracy asked me what I wanted for my lenses. We chatted at length about what would be best for me. I left there feeling so blessed that I have found a place I felt like they really cared about getting me in glasses that worked for me and not just filling the prescription.If you wear glasses everyday Go see them and you will leave there feeling fabulous. Not to mention their prices are amazing!!! Thank you for making me feel like a queen 👸🏻

June 10, 2020... read more We have been customers of The Spectacle for a few years now and have always highly recommended them. They are the most down to Earth people who treat us like family! But let me tell you guys just how awesome they really are, Friday I showed up at 4pm to grab my daughter's contacts for her competition in the morning, but they closed at 2pm, I had totally forgot. Well, I got in touch with them and the Owners themselves met me there before they opened so that my baby could do her performance with her contacts, not her glasses. Yall that is customer service, that is customer care, and a relationship with your customers goes a long way. My daughter and her team placed 2nd out of 7 teams in their division at her very first Winter Guard Competition!!! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank You!! Best Business Ever!!!

August 7, 2020... read more After a bad experience at another local eye glass retailer, I decided to see what "The Spectacle" had to offer. I left their business EXTREMELY HAPPY. Tracy and her family went way of their way to make sure I was properly taken care of. They explained what they had to offer in terms that were easy to understand and did not try to sell me something I did not need. By far the best part is, they sold me a like product for far less than what I had paid at the other retailer. First class business.
