I found this place while searching online for a tailor to repair a tear in my coat. The reviews seemed decent, so I felt comfortable bringing in three items for dry cleaning, including a $400 coat that needed a small repair. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The seamstress was not there when I dropped of the coat, they said that she will look and see if she can fix it and let me know by phone. I then find out that she "fixed" my coat without consulting me first, claiming the repair was necessary for the dry cleaning process. In doing so, she actually made the tear worse and ended up ruining the coat. When I tried to address the issue with the staff, the situation only got worse. The employees became defensive, rude, and belligerent. The interaction escalated to the point where I felt uncomfortable and unsafe in the store, as two male associates were behaving aggressively. I haven't even evaluated the quality of the dry cleaning yet, but at this point it's hard to say the service was worth the cost of a ruined $400 coat and the unpleasant treatment I received. It's especially disappointing because I had hoped I'd found a reliable dry cleaning and tailoring service close to home. read more

The customer service and quality is great!!!! The people are really nice. Especially the women that does the tailoring. She is too notch. This is my second time frequenting this business and they do great work. I think the prices are fair being that you are in Metuchen and they do great work, which is what matters most to me. The clothes we had dry cleaned came out perfect and they tailored my son's suit for prom to perfection. You get what you pay for. They have a new customer is me. That's for sure!!!! read more

Went there to fix zippers of my kids jacket. The tailor didn't even bother to look at it. I overheard her saying that she is not going to look at it. Waited there for sometime and then came back. Waste of time read more

Great prices and good quality work. Dropped off two 2 piece suits - 26$ total for dry clean next day service. There was a spot that I highlighted before and was still there slightly after the dry clean but they quickly took it back and came back 2 mins later with it gone. read more

Absolutely horrible. They ruined a very expensive jumpsuit and took no responsibility and then encouraged me to return it to the store which is unethical. Please don't trust them with your valuable items. read more

George's Tailoring & Dry Cleaning - White turned to dingy brown. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

Just had our 2nd prom dress altered, and the quality of the work was impeccable, again. Due to the dress store ordering a larger size, the dress had to be taken in, including the corset, as well as altering the slit, and hem. The seamstress is patient, knowledgeable, and somehow made the dress a better version of itself! read more

I had a wonderful opportunity to utilize this establishment recently. I was under a time constraint for alterations and their seamstress Patricia went above and beyond to accommodate me. The young man at the front desk is extremely polite and they even called me to let me know that my items would be ready. They are extremely reasonable and their work is excellent. If you are looking for a new Cleaners I highly recommend this place that treats you like an individual with respect! read more

This place is absolutely amazing . The woman who helped me with my dress... she did amazing not to mention they are extremely welcoming and friendly. I would 100% recommend and I 100% will be back. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DRESS LOOK AMAZING much love :) read more

My previous seamstress retired and I was in a crunch. I found George's Tailoring & Dry Cleaning through the Yelp community and could not have been more pleased. Everyone I encountered was extremely pleasant. There was a wedding gown cleaning and preservation special running so I opted to get my gown cleaned and alterations for an upcoming wedding. Patricia was so kind. She hemmed the gown to perfection and even took the time to string the back. The wedding gown was returned cleaned and in a box. Everything was completed on the date promised. I am so glad I found them - I will certainly be back for alterations. read more

Tailoring is always quality work/ from dresses to jeans and suits. Dry cleaning is quality too and service is always great read more

I drive past numerous competitors of his each time I go and there's a reason for that. He's a gentleman, really knowledgeable, professional and their work speaks for itself. So happy I found them, tip top tailor/dry cleaner!! read more

I've come here twice for alterations and both times I was told they didn't have time. Both times I came with more than a week in advance so it'll be last try driving from Iselin to Metuchen for a no :( read more

Came here because they had an August special: wedding dress preservation for $80. Normally preservations start at $150 so I jumped right on this. My wedding dress was trashed after my wedding. It has dirt and stains on the hem and a run somewhere. I dropped it off and it was ready in a week. It came in a big huge box and in that box was another box with my dress in it. The box is sturdy. They also stuffed the bodice of my dress with tissue paper and gave me a new cardboard bust. I didn't want to open it to see the gem of my dress since it was packaged so well, but I will assume they cleaned it. The service is excellent and the employees are very nice. I would definitely come back if I need any tailoring or dry cleaning done! read more

I went to George's to get some alterations to a dress I had purchased for my brother-in-law's beach wedding in Mexico. The problem was the dress I really liked was only available in a size two sizes too big for me, so I had to get it taken in a fair amount. Oh, and I needed it done in 3 days! The seamstress said it was no problem and quickly and efficiently pinned the garment, then the friendly clerk created my ticket. I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. Three days later my dress was ready and it fit perfectly. The stitching was so perfect you would never have known it was taken in. The icing on the cake is that the price was very reasonable. I will be certain to use George's again for any future tailoring needs. read more

We had a couple suits and dresses dry cleaned here and they turned out great and were ready on time. I also had a bridesmaid dress altered and it turned out exactly what I was hoping for based on what the seamstress and I discussed during my fitting. Highly recommend for both dry cleaning and tailoring. Glad to have found a local spot we can rely on for these services. read more

I took 3 suits, 2 pair of mens pants, 2 sports jackets and 5 long sleeve shirts here. I was told they'd be ready the following Wednesday after 3 p.m. I went there on Thursday around noon and was told the shirts would not be ready until after 3 p.m. that day. I don't live in town, but even if I did, it sure would have been nice if I had been called and advised my entire cleaning order would not be ready until 24 hours after the day they were suppose to have been done so I could have picked it all up at one time instead of having to return for the remainder of my cleaning order. read more

I got my curtains hemmed, here. I needed 5 inches taken off and I was nervous they would come out shorter after the hem but they didn't! 5 inches came off and they are PERFECT. You can't even tell they were hemmed. This is going to be my go to place for any of my hemming or alteration needs. Courteous staff. Wonderful establishment. read more

Thank you, Yelp community. So happy I brought my vintage coat here. George's was the only cleaner that asked to see the coat before commiting to cleaning it (vintage fur collar). I told them the story of how it came to me and they were very careful with it. I am *THRILLED* with the end result. The coat is restored to it's original beauty and I cannot wait to wear it out. read more

I desperately needed a seamstress/tailor to resew and adjust the strap on one of favorite dresses for an event I was attending, and they were able to help me out for an affordable price. I would also like to add that the owner was quick to message me back on here when I initially inquired about it. It was my first time coming here, and they were so friendly and helpful whenever I walked in. I brought it in at the beginning of the week and it was ready for me to pick up within just a few days! Haven't used their dry cleaning services, but I know where to go when I do need to. Great place and great customer service that I would recommend to anyone in this area! read more

I needed two jackets steamed asap. Dropped it off Monday afternoon and was told it'd be ready Wednesday morning because the machine wasn't working. Picked it up this morning and noticed an odor coming from one of my jackets like it's been worn. read more

Got my work clothes all set up for returning to the city. Pick up and drop off is nice touch but never having used the service, I would have appreciated being asked if I know how it works because I ended up asking lots of questions. I didn't know I could leave clothes on the doorstep for pickup and I didn't know if someone needed to be home for delivery. Clothes smelled fresh and were hung nicely on the hangers. Price was reasonable and matched the initial quote. read more

I chose this location because it had pretty great reviews and good pricing. Turn around time was also good so I figured I would drop off a few button-up shirts to be washed and pressed. Every shirt that was pressed had iron marks all over them. I brought in 7 shirts and they all looked like the picture attached. I'm not sure how this establishment was given so many good ratings if this is the type of work they do. I will certainly not be returning after this experience. read more

Dropped off a coat to have a zipper replaced on 4/3/2021. Went into the location a month later was told not yet ready, they are working on wedding alterations allow more time. I called the location in September was told they are finished with wedding and coat will be done in a few week. called the store today 11/8/2021 was told not ready and phone was handed to 'Patricia' who said 'I never told you today or tomorrow'. I said not to do it I would pick up the coat and zipper today. She said fine. 20 minutes later they call to say they already cleaned the coat and removed the zipper and the coat would be ready tonight. $55.00 to replace a zipper and clean a coat - and I provided the zipper. poor service, there are many other dry cleaners and tailors in Metuchen don't waste your time and money with George's. Many years ago there was a very pleasant many in a suit and tie and the service excellent- that is long gone! read more

My fiancé needed jeans tailored and my mom needed a dress tailored so we went one Saturday around noon. We were greeted immediately and both were able to go in their dressing rooms to put on what they needed tailored. The tailor was very friendly and knew what needed to be done after they both briefly explained what they wanted. My fiancé's jeans were done quickly and at a great price. My mom's dress took longer but it was a very different material so I expected that it'd be more intricate. My fiancé even went back to get collared shirts tailored to shorten the standard collar to a mandarin collar and both came back perfectly. We've definitely found our go-to tailor. read more

Went to this place as a regular customer and asked for a quote for altering two suits! The employee asked to wear it so they can quote me the price- after seeing the price picture attach I decided not proceed and the owner gets offended as they thought it was waste of their time and humiliates me in front of their regular customer! STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIP OFF PLACE!! I and everyone I know is taking our business elsewhere just based on the attitude of the owner!!! Note to the owner- stop sending me friend request on Linkd In and Facebook! I am not interested in anymore interactions with this place!! People stay away people!! The one star review is for the employee trying to humiliate! Saying it was waste of their time the moment I said I am not proceeding with the alter looking at 243$ and he had guts to goes on to ask how much money I make?!! ( so he knows- Enough to buy youR place in cash!!!) Are you serious! You are in a customer service business its about time you teach your team some manners! Bottom line you are loosing business from every single person I know using this place! read more

Great experience here. Owner replied to all my messages via yelp quickly. I had two pants hemmed here. I forgot to tell the owner that my pants were made of special material and not to iron or steam press them. He said he wrote it on the receipt and when I came to pick them up, he did write them on the receipt. They also did a nice job on the pants. Will be coming here more often. read more

I love this place! I've gotten plenty of items tailored and every piece was perfect. Patricia does a fantastic job and knows exactly what to do to make things fit perfectly. I've brought in pants that were 2 sizes too big for a wedding, she fixed them up and now they are perfect and I can go to the wedding feeling confident and looking sharp! I seriously cannot say enough good things about this place. The prices and people are great, would highly recommend and will be using them for any future tailoring. read more

Went in on a Wednesday morning (knowing I was pushing my luck) because I needed my dress altered by Saturday, so I went in with the intention of being told they couldn't accommodate me because again I know it was very last minute. The seamstress allowed me to try on my dress to see what needed to be altered and pinned it. Now here's my issue, I went into the fitting room to remove my dress but when I came out the seamstress and another coworker (a guy) were talking about me in the sense of how late I came in for an alteration that needed to be done in such little time, and next time they would just tell me - xyz and he had sooo much attitude saying it. (they couldn't see me but i saw and heard them.) when the man finally came around and saw that i was standing there he had nothing to say - that oh shit face. he just handed me my ticket. I asked him if it would be a problem getting my dress done and he "assured " me that if that was the issue she (the seamstress) would have just told me that " - EVEN THOUGH THATS LITERALLY WHAT THEY WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT! I said if there's an issue and it's too last minute it's not a big deal I will just take it back. . he said there wasn't any problem, so still skeptical i gave him the dress and left out but i walked back in two seconds later to get my dress back because i was already uneasy about the situation. read more

Patricia was so great!!! I ripped my zipper and she fixed my pair of pants right away and it looks amazing!!

THE BEST! Needed slacks hemmed as an emergency because they were delayed in shipping and my flight was the next day. NO PROBLEM. Brought them in, an hour later, perfectly hemmed slacks! A fantastic local family business that is an absolute mainstay for Metuchen. read more

Pleasant family owned business. Seems like they're a family anyway. Lol.. great service & attitudes. Can't wait for Metuchen to make more parking spaces! They would have so much more business. Highly recommended ! read more
