Showed up on a Friday at 8:40pm to buy a few items. Store closes at 9pm. The worker in the photo rushed to lock the doors before we could get to the door 20 minutes before closing, then completely ignored me and 3 other customers as we stood knocking/trying to ask why they were closing so early. Other staff who were up front saw us and rushed to the back of the store. Last I heard, Big 5 wasn't in a position to be turning down customers and closing their doors early just so they can leave early on a Friday. Take your business elsewhere. Won't be back. read more

Bought over 20 items. Got a great discount. Got a special code for kids at my kid's school to get a great coupon (located in the office). Worked with the productive part of the group. Great service. Great help. Store inside is a little compressed. Great products. 2nd year buying at this store in big numbers. Will be back year after year. Thanks big 5 for an experience well worth the Vibration. Tgif guys read more

This is more than just a review. Customers be warned: KEEP RETURN RECEIPTS. Disputed the unposted RETURN with credit card. BIG 5 provided copy of purchase receipt & picture of customer leaving the store with fishing pole. BIG 5 skipped the part when in a matter of minutes, customer turned around, went back in to return the fishing pole. So, this is how DISHONEST BIG 5 win disputed returns. read more

Terrible experience at the Big 5 (Chino, CA). I came in to get an annual saltwater fishing license. The first cashier had trouble navigating the system and kept asking me what type of license I wanted, even after I repeated it multiple times. A second cashier stepped in, confirmed it was for saltwater, then walked away mid-process to help someone else. The first cashier resumed but again asked what type of license I wanted and even asked for my marital status.....something I've never been asked in 20+ years of getting fishing licenses. After nearly 20 minutes, they still issued the wrong license (freshwater). No apologize....just defensiveness. The manager (Michelle, a lot of makeup) stood by the whole time, offered no help, and was sarcastic and dismissive. I won't be coming back to this store or any Big 5. Poor service and worse customer care. read more

Incredibly frustrated by this business. Seems like sale prices are marked wrong and although they clearly mislabeled something, they blame it on customers moving things around. I went back and forth on what was on sale, comparing sku numbers and pics on the website only for them to switch my to a left handed baseball glove in the end that I will now have to go back and return tomorrow. read more

Customer service is bad. Went in to buy a few items and 8 year old was denied the restroom. I get it about the restroom being for employees only but if I'm browsing and spending money in there they should allow customers to use the restroom. Big 5 needs to reevaluate this policy. read more

We went yesterday and encountered the RUDEST girl at the register. We asked where the sunglasses were and she rudely exclaimed "they are right there, can't you see them?" Very unnecessary nasty attitude. Popping her gum & blowing bubbles. Super unprofessional. read more

Service was sad. Staff looked unhappy and were unfriendly. Will never shop there again.

The girl in the front is very rude, don't try calling because she wont help and she just hangs up. Tried calling back and she answers and hangs up!!! This place is very unprofessional read more

The girl cashier , long hair, wearing glasses with ton of make up on her face which make her look like a clown was so mean. I went in today with my dad asking a cashier if the store carry badminton. She asked me to o repeat it couple times, she said could not understand what I said so I showed her my phone the pictures of badminton on Amazon. She tried to read it on my screen, then i asked her if she could read. I'm not trying to say She is illiteracy, but she got mad and call me rude!! How crazy is this lady ! Stay away from this place, order on Amazon is better. read more

Great Find! Stopped by here Sunday morning after doing errands for my wife. I was Just testing my luck today! Then I found these running shoes for work in size 12 with the color scheme I wanted in store and tried them on in person!! Perfect!! I've been googled and couldn't find these anywhere online from Target, Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Dick's and Nordstrom Racks. Scored these for only $43.08 out the door!! These are very comfy with thick cushioned soles. The sales/cashier Emily was super friendly greeted me at entrance and checked out my purchase. Another young lady was super nice as well helped me at the air soft counter. Well, It was a good Sunday for me. Go shop local! read more

I've always liked Big 5 and typically shop here first before any other sporting good stores. Today was an off day for the staff. Staff members looked tired or irritated. Think I bothered the manager behind the counter in the knife & gun area. I was browsing their knives. Wasn't sure which one I wanted. Asked to look at several. Oh well. I bought one. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you all. read more

Very bad service the staff refused to return a defective product I purchased couple days ago. It was a manufactured defect Should return no question I'm adding the photos. I didn't find zero stars they worth It is well known in the market manufacture defects return with no question. They were going to cut 20% for the refund read more

Came here today around noon. The gentleman working here with the mole was very helpful. Helped us find the correct size for snow bibs, even went around to look for the size we needed. The lady at the register was acting like we were going to steal something, maybe because my husband is African American, she was unpleasant so this 5 stars is definitely not for her. read more

Good store. I get worms from here. Good selection and the sporting clothes are cool. Like their adidas selection. Very cool and I'm a fan

I love to shop at the Chino Spectrum location the best. I live in Eastvale and drive 13 miles to shop this particular store. The store is always clean and the staff welcoming as soon as you walk on the door. If you ask for something, they will walk you to it. I couldn't imagine shopping at another store.... read more

I was there this weekend to purchase a bicycle. The store was empty with customers so the four employees sitting near the entrance discussing school projects outnumbered my wife and me. I asked to see a bicycle that was on display on a shelf nearby, but the only male employee there informed me that the bicycle was tied down with zip ties and he would not show it to me unless I agreed to purchase it first. I was set on purchasing a bicycle so his condition did not matter. Once I agreed, he insisted on discouraging me by warning that I would have to "build" it. Since this did not dissuade me and I brushed off his remark with a simple shoulder shrug, he recommended that I go to a bicycle store instead and even began to provide the location of this store. Needless to say that I did not purchase the bicycle and went elsewhere. Thank you Big 5 for one of the worst customer service experiences! read more

I came here as I was looking for some rollerblades. The staff was super nice and respectful. The store is clean and put together as well. I would note that these stores are small, so if you are looking for something specific, their website will tell you what they have so you can make sure you don't waste a trip. Overall 5 stores for staff, cleanliness and product quality. read more

The girl at the register (I believe she was the assistant manger)was rude and dismissive when I requested that she see if another store had the item I was looking for. She even went has far as pretending to call the store I inquired about & she said they didn't have it. I knew she was full of it so i went anyway & found the item I was looking for. Thanks big 5! read more

Called to ask a simple question. Put on hold for 15 minutes. Tried to call back now phone line busy for another 15 minutes. I guess that would be my phone line that would've been waiting for 30 minutes. Service sips!!! read more

Been living in Chino Hills for over 25 years and go to big five sporting goods once in a while. The other day I went in with my daughter and my grandkids and my daughters certified service animal. My daughter was told that her dog could not be in the store. My daughter told the worker that her dog was a service animal and she said it didn't matter that she still had to take him out of the store. I've been asked manager if she knew that it was the law she could not have my daughters dog removed from the store. She proceeded to tell me that it was their policy and they had a lot of dogs in there that were doing their business on their floor so that they were not allowing dogs in there unless you could carry them, there's no way I'm carrying an 80 pound dog. We left the store and I called my daughters dogs trainer who returned to the store about an hour later with her service dog and was told absolutely nothing. She walked around the store for a while and no one ever told her she had to take the dog out of the store. I'm thinking maybe because my daughter is 14 or I hate to think because of a race issue but sometimes it's hard not to think that way I will be returning to that store and I hope everyone else that goes there gets treated better than I did. read more

Although this location is small and cramped with merchandise, the newer manager, Leonard, is awesome. I searched high and low for ammunition, and this Big 5 was the only store that had it in stock. I spoke to Leonard on the telephone, and he was helpful and friendly. He clearly had experience in the area of ammunition grades. The store seems a little understaffed during peak purchasing periods, but I haven't had an issue with getting help. On another occasion, this Big 5 had a pretty good sale on snowboarding and skiing equipment. We picked up some brand named items for a great price. read more

I received great knowledgeable customer service here when I was looking for the right hiking gear.

Worst customer service ever, ask for a different size shoe and the guy made us wait 30 mins and they he showed up and said he forgot about it. The cashier was super rude, overall this gotta be the worst Big Five in California! read more

I don't know what happened here. The service and management used to be great and the amount of product they carry was diverse compared to smaller locations. But now it's unpleasant and no way to run a business. The staff is disrespectful and unknowledgeable about their product. My past 4 times coming here within the past few months have been awful. My first bad experience was when I asked for help looking for specific clothing and was directed to an older woman named Margret that was the cashier. She was very rude and short with her words and made me feel so unwelcome. Not only that, the manager Devin witnessed it and laughed and brushed it off. In fact, he is the main reason for why I will never come back to this location. On multiple occasions from both personal experience and witnessing with other customers, he's been rude, unhelpful, unattentative and instead of being useful and helpful and doing management things he can be found laughing and joking with the other young employees. On my last visit, I asked him for a product and the only answer I received was "we don't have it". And then he continued to talk to the cashier ignoring me. Which I understand if they didn't have the product, but the way he went about talking to me was just rude and wasn't very approachable or customer service oriented. Not only that, I drove to a different big 5 and they did in fact have the item I was looking for, maybe if Devin would've taken a few more seconds to get more insight on what I was looking for, he could've pointed me in the right direction. But instead he turned a cold shoulder and couldn't have cared less. The entire place from cashiers to management is rude and disrespectful. Never would I expect this type of treatment or customer service at a professional establishment, which apparently it isn't. 0 stars. Don't waste your time here, go across the street to Dicks or drive to the next city. read more

The cashier lady is extremely rude and disrespectful. my bf picked up a phone call during checkout process and we don't even have her wait. Then she said "this is very rude and it's unacceptable to have me hold on"..." You have to be ready when you are here.." ridiculous!!! read more

FIVE STARS for this local Big 5 Sporting Goods in Chino Hills. I called early this afternoon asking if they had a Advertised Sale Canopy in stock and spoke to Victor. He put me on a brief hold and came back to the phone within one minute to let me know "yes, we have several in stock" I went in a few hours later and was assisted by Victor who was so courteous and helpful. I ended up purchasing two of them mainly because of the GREAT prices and the service I received. My first impression upon entering the Store was how clean and organized this location is with the aisles being clutter free and easy access to everything I was looking for. I normally frequent the South Bay Store but this location is only a few miles from our home. I also wanted to mention how nice the other two Employees were while ringing me up. Margaret the Cashier and Jude who was kind enough to help me carry a rather heavy item to my Car. LAST, I read some reviews prior to calling and I had some slight reservations but I must say this Chino Hills Store by far exceeded all my expectations. The people who write the few negative reviews are most likely customers who are never satisfied regardless of the good service. REALLY? someone below crying over a $.99 price tag attached to a $12.99 ball and going on a rant. I highly recommend coming here for all your sporting needs, I'm certain you will have a positive experience. I'll make it a point to comeback for any future needs. Keep up the GREAT WORK! read more

Horrible service. We've been here 40 minutes and they still haven't helped us. We've asked for help with what we want to purchase and we were told we will be there in a few minutes. There are several employees in the store so it is not like they don't have any employees available v read more

The current assistant manager here has no humanity. The hours on yelp were posted wrong, they close half an hour earlier on Sundays now and though there were at least 3 different employees in there shooting the shit and all I had were a generic pair of big 5 brand snow boots to exchange for one size bigger, this guy stood behind the glass telling me he was sorry that I would be in the freezing snow for two weeks with too small boots (leaving in the morning) when he very well could have shown mercy and let me in for just under 2 minutes. No transactions needed to take place. Compassion and reason are what make service great, not turning a blind eye to humanity while clinging to a rule book for the sake of it. A robot could easily take his place. Edit: this assistant manager was tall, male and looked to be half African American half Caucasian, short hair. read more

This is one of the biggest big 5's I've been to. Their stock seemed efficient and like other big 5's their were a ton of stuff all over the place. The employees were very kind and helpful. The only downside about this place is that they only have 1 fitting room so we had to wait... read more

Love Big 5. They have everything. Its fun just to walk around and see all of the accoutrements available for any sport that I never knew about! Great sales on athletic shoes. I always by my running shoes at this location. read more

Been shopping at this location for awhile even bought the staff donuts., today the guy with the pony tail , maybe had a had a bad morning freaked out on me. Forgot all customer service and respect.

Super amazing staff here. I was welcomed from the time I entered. They didn't have the items I was looking for but half the staff including the manager helped me search. This level of customer service is rare. I will definitely come here again to gear and other stuff. read more

Dont come this place, they dont know what they are doing, I called them like 50mins ago before I start driving, they told me they are able to refill my co2 tank on the phone. After I arrived, they told me they dont refill co2 tank here?????? read more

Spacious and organized, two of my favorite things at a sporting store. I walked inside looking for a travel case for my rifle and was surprised with the wide aisles. Other Big 5 stores are typically small and cramped but not this one. I enjoy purchasing fire arm accessories from Big 5 because they seem to be have a sale every week. Cleaning kits, ammo, travel cases, you can find anything here. The young lady at the checkout stand is friendly and very polite. They also have plenty of parking because you will find this Big 5 in the Chino Spectrum. Have fun shopping. read more

The service and professionalism received from the Chino Hills store merits a comment here. I purchased a S&W Black Shadow Shotgun and was told it had a 30 day guarantee. Whether it be my fault or not, I was not aware when I went to return it a week later because I was unsatisfied and wanted the Remington 870 instead that the policy on firearms was if it is used (rounds put through it) the warranty ends. Despite this, I had one employee, two managers and one corporate rep who all got involved to over-ride the policy just to keep me as a valued customer. Further, the Remington 870 I wanted was sold out nearly a year ago in January 2015 so they actually took valuable time (2 days) to search all their stores nationwide, actually found one available and had it shipped to this store to again, keep my shopping experience a positive one. I really couldn't say how much I appreciated that because that would have been a huge waist of money for me seeing I really wanted the 870 far more then the shadow after having tried them both. "Thanks to all at Big 5 who made this happen." Customer for Life, Michael D Baker read more

Another good customer service experience. I needed help in finding 2 items and Jessica didn't hesitate to assist me. She walked to the aisle and helped me find the items I was looking for. She also rang the items I was purchasing. So no time wasted waiting and I was able to do my other errands without rushing. Awesome customer service and efficient. May I add, that the store is nice, clean, organized, and quiet. read more
