I had a good experience. I came to pick up some documents and was in and out in a little less than 40 minutes. They only take cash, check, or money order btw.

I walked in to get a birth certificate and had a great experience. I filled out the form and had a few questions, which the friendly office staff explained patiently. After paying the fee (cash, no credit card) and waiting about 15 minutes, everything was completed, done.
