Overpriced for the quality – I've used this cleaning service several times and will never go back. My shirts always come back with wrinkles pressed into them, and I have to re-iron them before wearing to work. It kind of defeats the purpose. They also are very pricy for such service! My bill for 4 shirts was $27. I can't think of any way to justify that since I had to go home and re-launder them so I could iron out the wrinkles. Please save your money; most mom-and-pop cleaners are far better than this place.

About 1/3 of my shirts come back with wrinkles pressed into them, particularly around the upper sleeve. 4) They also offer no special service such as fixing broken buttons automatically. I'm now looking for another midtown cleaner.

I took it back repeatedly and had it recleaned, but River Oaks was incredibly dismissive of the issue, and the stain would only spread making it worse. I finally took it to a different cleaner and was... read more
