Best place and workers hands down in my opinion. Always enjoy visiting and seeing the fish

I've gotta hand it to them: they create a unique shopping experience. Tell me about the last time you were at a big box store with a quaint log cabin and pond (with real fish) scene. The ceiling has Spanish Moss hanging from it, making you feel like you're under the canopy of soaring trees in a swamp. At Christmastime, there's a huge tree and cheerful employees at the entrance welcoming you in. You really can't hate it here as much as you try. It's a one stop shop for those with masculine urges (killing things, being one with the elements, grilling dead things)--it's unapologetically so. And this vegan city slicker is definitely not their target audience but I like to have an open mind and I do appreciate the fact that you can find many many practical things here. I'm just not the most practical person. For example, I bought my boat here (2017 Tahoe 1950). Do I even know how to drive the thing? No. But my husband drives me around in it. I hate driving. I like boats. And I can handle nature in small doses (preferably not on triple digit high humidity days). And until you have floated or zipped around these glorious Louisiana waterways, you can't tell me that you are allergic to nature! I recognize a quality store when I see one, even if walking through 20 aisles of bait will never ever be my thing. read more

Bass Pro Shops - Why does this make me yearn for a zombie apocalypse? - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

Bass pro lost a good sale today because the men behind the gun and knife counter would rather sit there gossiping like little girls than make a sale. Bass pro lost probably about $300 in sales today. By the way we were the only customers at the counter and still got completely ignored. read more

The 7 foot gar fish caught my attention. Lots of big catch and hunting photos. Clothing sale going on.

Customer service in the hunting section SUCKS!! My boyfriend ordered a gun online. We went to pick it up, went through the check, then waited and waited, and waited...for at least 30 minutes. Which is not the check problem, because he got instant approval online. Our sales guy, Cole, has disappeared. Finally, we go up to another guy (Jeff--he was polite) and inquired about what is taking so long. He doesn't know where Cole is and asks the other employees--well what about his customer? He takes care of the second check and sends us on our way. We get home and the trigger lock is on BUT no tool to get it off. We live 30-40 minutes away so I called Bass Pro. The employee who answered tells me..."was the tool in the bag?" Me: ummm, no that's what I'm calling. Employee: "oh we should have caught that. We have been really busy. If you have some kind of tool that can fit it you should be able to take it off easily." Well, let me tell you...it is not easy. It's the next day and we still haven't been able to get it off even after trying several different tools. My boyfriend doesn't get angry easily, but he is extremely pissed! DO BETTER BASS PRO!!! read more

Hunting season here in Louisiana, and I needed some more ammo. It's Friday evening and I look online to verify hours. Great, it's 7:20pm and they don't close until 9pm. I get there @ 7:56pm, and notice a white sheet of paper on the door stating temporary hours, closing at 8pm. The greeter proceeds to tell myself and another customer that they will be closing in 4 minutes. I knew right where I was going, retrieved my product, and headed for checkout just as they were announcing that they were closed on the intercom. As I arrived at checkout, there was only 1 register open and 20ish customers waiting for that one register. I guess I am more disappointed with the hours being shortened during hunting season here in Sportsman's Paradise. read more

Bass Pro Shops - Hours do not indicate a winter change. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

It's a pretty fun place to just walk around and look at things. Playing outlaws sound fun! I never end up buying anything though. Hmm...

If you go to the Bass Pro Shop in Denham Springs make sure you talk to Les in shooting range area. This is a very nice and knowledgeable retired police chief working there. It was so nice to get information on speed loaders and gun range processes. Thank you Les. It was so nice talking to you. read more

We called ahead to ensure the item we wanted was in stock. It's here and the customer service is very good. This looks like one of their mansion sized stores. read more

Just had another unpleasant encounter with Bass Pro Shop. Several years ago we made the mistake of buying an ATV and UTV from them (Arctic Cat). After a butcher job when they (Bass Pro Shop Denham Springs) attempted to disservice the UTV we have chosen to never bring our vehicles back to them again. Ever. Unfortunately, they seem to be the only ones around to maintain a stock of Arctic Cat supplies--it's time for an oil change and our usual guy is busy. Crazy us, we thought that since it is their brand (at least until recently) and we did buy the machine from them they would be able to help hook us up. Nope. At least not with a wait and some attitude. When we got to the Parts desk it was empty. No one there. No "Be Back Soon" sign. No bell to "Ring for Service." No one there. We waited. We could see the oil and filters. We waited. We wondered where the employees were. We waited. Finally we flagged down an employee on the floor who informed us that he could not help as the parts department does not carry a radio, so he could not call them. As I'm considering calling the operator and asking her to transfer me to the Parts Department, the floor employee managed to flag down a Parts Department employee. So, things getting better...or not. No "Hello" or "How are y'all" or "Sorry about the wait" or even a smile, just a straight to business "What do y'all want?" Ok. So I informed her that we have a 2013 Arctic Cat ATV 700 Core and would like an oil change kit and air filter. She immediately informed us that they no longer carried the kits, but had the separate items...and asked what size I needed. I informed her that I was not sure, and she immediately asked what did my owner's manual say. Ok, my bad. I did not bring the owner's manual with me. I figured since they sold the cobranded item and offer service for it that they might have an idea about that, but they didn't. In fact, a second lady came out and the first related the events to her, prompting lady two to separately ask, "well what does your owner's manual say?" I gave up and Googled it. In doing so I also discovered that the oil change kits are still carried by several vendors and that they costs about $35, not the $75 that the Bass Pro Shop Parts Department charged me for the same separate items (plus an air filter, maybe that was the difference). And thus we completed our transaction, receiving not even a "good bye" or "have a nice day" as we left. Outstanding job for the "Service CSI Award Winner 2018." I guess we should have come in 4-5 months ago. read more

Bass Pro Shops - Hard to believe that they won any legitimate service award given our experience. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

I do not hunt or fish. I like girly stuff. Makeup, perfume, shoes, lacy stuff. You know. Girl shit. But y'all. This store is bad fucking ass. I have two brothers and and a brother in law who love this store and they have talked it up numerous times. I laughed at that and just chalked it up to too much testosterone coursing through their veins. Then I happened to stop in here. Yep. I get it now. It has everything you could possibly want or need no matter if you're a guy or a girl. Do you like fishing? You can get all of your fishing supplies here. Do you like to hunt? It's here. Guns, camo, bullets. Girls-there are purses, sunglasses, fudge (!) and baby clothes in here. Ok? It's two whole stories of awesomeness and I didn't even know what I was missing out on. read more

This place is pretty cool. Especially at Christmas time. We got my fiancée's pistol from here, and they had a good selection to choose from. The guys were really helpful in helping us make a decision. They have stuff for everyone! Hunting, fishing, camping, etc! Clothes and boots. I love the little fudge shop inside the store with homemade fudge. At Christmas you can take a free photo with Santa. And the inside is decorated so cool! read more

My entire family loves Bass Pro shops ! I don't think there's a location we've been too that we didn't live but today is about this location and it's amazing. This place sorta makes you feel like your on vacation or at least it puts a smile on your face. They have something for everybody here they have clothes and shoes for men, women & kids. The have toys for the kiddos and big shiny new boats, motors & trailers to haul them on for the fisherman in your life. They've got many delicious flavors of fudge and all kinds of confectionery's for the sweet tooth person in your life. They've got big long guns, pistols and revolvers and bullets and shotgun shells. They have cross bows and the arrows for them. If your going camping or just like dreaming of the great outdoors they've got you covered from tents to camping stoves and even the utensils. If you feel like going canoeing on maybe kayaking yep they have canoes & kayaks. If it's sunny outside don't worry be happy they've got a great selection of sunglasses here. You and the family are so hungry maybe so hungry y'all could eat a buffalo OK they have BUFFALO BURGERS or looking at fish made hungry for FISH they serve it all in the restaurant inside this place. Oh and when your leaving grab a funnel cake or some hot nuts for the ride home. Absolutely the most family friendly fun place to shop. I mean where else can you buy your kid a toy, grab a pair of Costa sunglasses & buy your mom some fresh fudge, your father a new pair of boots, yourself a shotgun and eat buffalo for lunch and get your family a speed boat with a motor and a trailer all in one stop, only at a Bass Pro Shop read more

I really enjoy coming in here just for the atmosphere. I did not grow up near a Bass Pro and I definitely enjoy the novelty of it. We come in to check out the fish tanks, and neat gift section mainly. They do have an indoor shooting range and a nifty selection of guns, and fishing gear. Anything outdoorsy you're looking for this would be your spot! They also have a cute little ice cream / sweets parlor inside as well. read more

This store is an outdoorsman's paradise. Located in Denham Springs along I-12, this store is massive. It has its own lake, own restaurant and fudge store. If there is something you need to buy for any outdoor activity, this place has it. There was a massive selection of boats. There were both fishing and pleasure boats, including the always popular party barge. Prices seemed to be the industry average (expensive). I don't know of any other store, besides Cabela's, with this type of inventory you can actually see and touch. There were also several "four wheelers" for sale in both 4x2 and 4x4 varieties. I was amazed at how expensive these toys have become with a large 4x4 costing $10,000. If you have kids, they will love to sit on these bikes and pretend they are off road racing. The gun selection is also among the most extensive I have seen. The problem with the guns is that despite their massive inventory, prices seem much higher than other gun shops. I guess if you must have a particular gun right now, Bass pro would be a good option. There was even a small shooting range next to the gun section. If I would have thought ahead, I would have fired off a few hundred rounds, but I was pressed for time. In addition too those items, there is also giant clothing, footwear, camping, grilling and hunting sections. The real reason most people come to Bass Pro is not to shop. Most come for the scenery. The shop is decorated in an outdoors motif with probably 100 or more dead animals on display. If you have a few hours to kill, and want to feel like a man (or a really cool girl), check out Bass Pro. read more

this should be a zero rating. bass pro "triple charged my card". when confronting the bass pro store manager he refused to assist in resolving the issue. i contacted their customer service department. they also have done nothing. i sent an email to their customer group and no response. i will be filing fraud charges. **stay away from bass pro read more

The Girlfriend: "Hey do I need hiking boots for our road trip" Me: "Yeah probably" GF: "Well I have giftcards from work to Bass Pro Shop wanna go?" Me: "Sure" ....And this is how I ended up in Redneck Disneyland Ok I shall preface with the fact that I do not hunt or fish. I am not opposed to said things, my dad does both all the time. Pops tried to get me involved early on but I always screwed said things up. If the fish didn't bite quick enough, I'd do a cannonball into the water assuring we caught nothing. Drag me deer hunting in the freezing snow at 4am, then I'd fall asleep and the deer would hang out by me again assuring we got nothing. Pops went alone from then on out. He'd probably love this store. It has all the guns, knives, hunting, camping, fishing, and anything you'd need to survive a zombie apocolypse. It also has tons of BBQ grills and accessories, tons of foot wear, kayaks, 4 wheelers, boats and other stuff. There's a restaurant, a place that makes fudge, and an arcade that allows you to shoot at already dead animals. They even have camoflage furniture. I'm serious. There were reclyners and a sofa all camo'd out. The whole store is made to look like you are walking through the swamp. There are fake cypress trees that are like 50 feet high through out the store. The elevator is even in the side of one of these trees. and overlooks the entire store. To keep the theme going the bathrooms are even in on it as the signs say "bucks" and "does". Not sure which one you are? No worries it also says "Men" and "Women" for you hillbilly challenged. So how much does stuff cost? I have no idea. I only bought a bottle of Dr. Pepper marinade because I never saw it before. It's worth looking around even for us folks who prefer our meat wrapped in plastic. read more

You have done a great job at decorating the store. It felt like walking into an amusement park, but adding live turtles and fish is totally unnecessary (note - the large turtle was clearly struggling to move around in the tiny space created for it) and put a damper on our entire experience. My niece became incredibly upset witnessing this and so I felt it was necessary to share with management in hopes you'll remove the live animals from your store - lessening the negative impact it can have on sensitive children. read more

Bought 4 padded pistol cases yesterday for $5.00 each, went to exchange the 4 for smaller size. I did not have my receipt but the BPS tags were still on it. Lady working at the service desk asked if I used my rewards card which I did but for some reason was not showing up in their system. I asked her if it really matter since I was only exchanging items of the same value just different size. She flat out said, "I need to make sure you bought them" I was basically being accused of stealing $20 of items and returning the $20 of items for different size $20 of items. Not sure if my dark skin or tattoos made me look like a thief in her eyes or what but I was pissed off of being called a thief. I guess if you don't look a certain way to BPS, they automatically think you are a thief. Thanks BPS for teaching your employees to stereotype people. read more

Service is good but the food is by no means representative of Louisiana cultures as you might think. VERY over priced. Gumbo roux was slightly burnt and too think. Wahoo Dip tasted like tuna fish from a can with crackers. Let's just say, the crackers were better than the dip. After many visits here I can confidently make a review. I've tried many of their dishes. Including fried alligator. I recommend a better chef for this place. I think he's ruining this establishment. I'll keep going to Don's Seafood around the corner when I'm looking for better quality seafood. read more

Walked over to Bass Pro Shops from Sam's Club to pass by the 2 hours Sam's needed to mount a new tire. It was the first time I had ever just sat down in the lobby and taken in the view. It is a beautifully decorated building. The wife and I walked around the building to the lake and fed the turtles and ducks. They have food machines to get a hand full of duck feed, but the ducks liked the steak fries that some kids were feeding them as well. I kept it simple and ordered a fried shrimp po-boy sandwich. It came with fries and a small loaf of bread with butter was brought to the table as well. My wife got a stack of onion rings.All of the food was very good, but maybe on the mild side. It was a very nice eating experience, read more

This restaurant is located inside the bass pro shops and it is beautiful - it has a big fireplace and a big fish tank. They give you sugar glazed bread with butter for starter. I order spicy seafood gumbo and blackened redfish etouffee with crawfish topping. The sugar glazed bread is delicious and the spicy seafood gumbo is delicious as well. The blackened redfish etouffee is a little plain, especially the crawfish is rather tasteless. The atmosphere is awesome though and I will definitely give this place another chance. read more

Was excited to visit the store, walked around the store for almost an hour and wasn't greeted nor asked if i needed help. Employees looked at me as if i didn't belong there. As a African American woman, i felt very uncomfortable. Even after i checked out, employee at the door just looked at me as i walked out. I would give 0 stars if i could read more

If you ever want to experience the Louisiana outdoors without have to really go outdoors, then this is the place for you! No mosquitoes, no wild animals (well at least ones that are on the loose), no exposure to excessive heat, etc. Instead, you are in a fun setting (kind of Disney-like), an aquarium, "stuffed" animals and access to all the gear that you'd probably need if you chose to actually partake in the real Louisiana outdoor adventures. During the holidays, they set-up Santa's workshop and even the jolly man makes appearances himself to take photos with the kiddos. I've come here dozens of times, taken family visitors here and have even eaten at their on-site restaurant. Looking for really cool camo gear? They have it all! Bring the family here, if you want to spend a chill weekend afternoon somewhere. I have to say that before coming to Louisiana, I don't think I've ever been to a Bass Pro Shop. Even those that are not into Louisiana sportsmen paradise stuff, you'll still totally dig this place because it's just that unique. My daughter is always fascinated with it and she is almost 10 years old. The trees & Spanish moss on the inside really helps create bring the atmosphere to life. Enjoy! read more

So much to see and do here. I literally get lost in here for hours. From hunting to fishing to boating to camping and pretty much everything outdoors. The have an area where you can get homemade fudge and deserts as well. The smell will make you smile and crave the treats as you walk the endless isles of fishing gear. The employees are very knowledgable and helpful. There is also a restaurant inside to eat at. It has an awesome aquarium inside of it. The kids will love watching the fish. There is also seating outside overlooking the water. It's a very cool experience. read more

We love this Bass Pro. The ladies and kid sections bigger than Mobile. Super friendly staff. Good fudge.

I am so not an outdoorsman type, but even I can appreciate the awesomeness of this store.. Unbelievable ! Just love to come in here and browse away. I buy stuff too, things I didn't know I would need, but it has that effect on me. To have its own lake is a trip! This is a easy way to justify going to Denham Springs...paired up with BBQ from Days Smokehouse...it makes for a nice afternoon read more

Went in for sunglasses to go over my prescription glasses and did not expect the help that we received. The employee's name was Will and he was exceptionally helpful without being annoying. He seemed to enjoy his job and was good at it. I wish that customer service like that wasn't such a rarity! I hope that Will and his managers happen to see this and that they appreciate his customer service skills as much as my husband and I did. We planned on buying a pair of cocoon clip on sun glasses, but also left with a pair of Rayban's... so job well done! read more

This is where fisherman go when they die and go to heaven or if they actually plan ahead before a major fishing expedition. They also have a decent selection of hunting supplies along with a 25 yard pistol range. They also have a decently sized restaurant that puts Cabala's tiny offering to shame. They have one of the best stocked sunglasses counters I've seen in all of Louisiana. This is definitely a great place for any sportsman to have an enjoyable experience. read more

We brought our 2018 Bass Tracker in for a repair that is under warranty, 6 weeks ago, September 18, 2020. The weather is great for fishing now and we expected the boat to have been completed. After weekly calls, the manager of the service department continues to apologize and state that "in all honesty no one has had the time to even look at it". On one call, obviously to get my husband off of the phone, stated "I give you my word, I'm going to look at it myself now, and will call you back within the hour". We're still waiting for that call back and it's been 3 weeks. We were thinking of buying 2 Four Wheelers and had been to the store to look at them. No way would we buy from them now. Their Service Department is horrible and not customer service focused at all. read more

Visited their pistol range today and was very happy with my experience. There aren't a lot of indoor shooting ranges in the Baton Rouge area and I needed to test some changes to my pistol. Given that the range is located well within the store (upstairs, in the back of the gun section) I was concerned with the difficulty of bringing my gear into the store. I told the person at the check-in counter that I wanted to visit the pistol range and he asked me if I had a concealed handgun permit (I do) and if I had any ammo or targets with me (I did). He placed a security sticker on the ammo to show that it was mine and not merchandise and told me to have fun. I'm told that without a concealed license he would have recorded the serial number and placed a lock on the pistol that would have been removed at the range. When I got up to the range area I had to sign-in, sign a waiver and then I was able to purchase any other things I needed: additional ammo and targets. After donning eye and ear protection I was shown in to my lane - there are four total. I was given a briefing on how to use the equipment and told the range rules - no holster-draw, no "rapid fire" shooting and clean up any brass behind the line. The gentleman working there, Ray, was extremely helpful and friendly. The range is marked at 3, 5, 7, 15, and 20 yards and is easy to use. Pros: - friendly service - reasonably close - located in a store I already liked - easy to get any needed supplies and equipment Cons: - no holster draw, though I understand the safety concerns - no "rapid fire" - I don't want to go crazy but I'm not sure of the reason for this one Bottom-line: I would happily use the range again. read more

So much fun! Kay I know its an outdoorsman store, but still. The kids had a blast looking at all the animals, fish and turtles on the first floor and the shooting gallery on the second, We didnt do the Nascar ride but the people thet were looked like they were having fun. Watched a demonstration on using cast iron (which I love cooking on so the tips they had were awsome) Didn't eat at the restaurant or go into the fudge shops but they smelled great.

Typical outdoorsman shopping and browsing experience. There lake and pond setup is pretty cool.

I love this place and so does my toddler. They do a beautiful job of decorating for Christmas. This is my 2nd year going for our free pic with Santa, how awesome is that, free pic, frame and a free kids meal with purchase of adult entree! I met up with two of my mommy friends and their toddlers for pic followed by lunch. Food was pretty good, had the Tournament burger with fries and my daughter had the grilled chicken with fries, chicken was bit bland but she certainly enjoyed the fries. As long as we are living in BR I plan to make this a tradition! The shop is great for kids, with an aquarium, ducks and turtle who wouldn't love it, they had a blast! read more

DO NOT go here to get your child's picture with Santa!! You have to get a pass which they only give out to 15 people @ a time every hour. So unless you want to wait 2 hours to see Santa while the bass pro employees harass you about saving 10% by signing up for a credit card I would not suggest it. They do not advertise this is the papers. read more
