What customers say

Sure there's the great selection, which really is unique because they keep a lot of rarities, niche, weird little bizarre releases on hand. And sure the prices are more than reasonable with a lot of stuff to play with in the $10-20 category and plenty of bargain records too.

Grady’s is a great record store. Outstanding. Clearly a place that is carefully, proudly, and smartly tended. The space is ample and well-organized, offering plenty of character and impressive range, variety, and quality of stock.

★★★★★ — Matthew, 2019-09

Grady's is exactly what I want a record store to be. It's dense, it's not tidy, it has little secrets and pockets hidden everywhere you look. The staff was super laid back, and while the store was a little busy, it's the kind of place that seems to also attract chill clientele.

★★★★★ — Michael, 2026-06

This place is an absolute must when you’re looking for records. A regular stop of mine for years and years, and it never fails! Huge selection of used and a solid stock of new, as well. Great prices and great variety. Also lots of turntables, receivers, and speakers always available.
