This Big R is an interesting place to be sure. It has a super dystopian vibe to it. The store was large, well staffed and hospital operating room bright. Everything was there but the inventory of a successful store. They did have some deals on clothes, but mostly it seemed like a lot empty shelves and most of the hardware was off brand stuff I never heard of, marked up to premium prices. It was as if Cabela's and Harbor Freight went on a date, got tipsy on box wine and woke up in the morning with this love child to deal with. A bit of dna from both parents but none of it from the deep end of the pool. Speaking of which, mom and dad must be ashamed of their child, as just getting in to The Big R was difficult. The parking lot entrance wasn't directly in front of the store, and at night it was difficult to navigate the parking lot. Also I get that Santa Fe has serious restrictions on lighting at night, but the parking lot just screamed "Please stand by, your mugger will be with you shortly." No wonder the place was deserted. read more

I can shop at many different places in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. What keeps me coming back to any store is GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Big R is a perfect example of this. I went into the Santa Anna Big R (near Bernallio) to buy a special dog food. The Wholesome foods sensitive stomach is the best food for my Great Dane & German Shepard. Only one the Shepard can keep down. I was truly excited to see Big R carries it & it was on sale, at a great price. I went into store as they opened hopefully to buy the dog food only to find they didn't have it. Here is where the Santa Fe BIG R stepped up to make our day. I spoke with manager "Nathan" who told me he had 5 bags & would transfer them to the store near me in Bernallio. He could have them there this afternoon for me to pickup tomorrow morning. Saving me a trip to Santa Fe, stocking me up for weeks to come, & allowing me to get the bags at the sale price. Nathan's customer service is the reason I will continue to shop Big R. read more

Super cool place! They have everything from beef jerky, to clothes, to windshield wiper fluid. It's just a fun place to browse and very nice and attentive staff read more

Cash registers down and unable to work "online." Manager was sort of rude and short tempered. I recommend going elsewhere. This is the second time this has happened, cash register/software down. read more

I absolutely love the wide variety of Carhartt Pants and the vast selection of both Tools and Accessories, the customer service is absolutely great. Other than that I love this Big R and there Employees, I always love coming here whenever I get the chance. read more

just came from Santa Fe nm store and thought I was in Mexico!! wtf.. I am fluent in Spanish and born speaking English. I am of Spanish decent and proud of both languages. but when in Rome ... the girls were literally talking bad about the ladies before me and myself. I didn't want to get into an argument with a cashier lmfao. so I probably will be going to tractor supply or the local feed store! good luck big r !! poor ladies if they knew what was being said about them. if you are in America we speak English!!!!! Horrible, arrogant and ignorant to be talking about people in a different language right in front of them!!! ps . I had to post a . it should be negative read more

Whoa! I didn't know what to expect here! Sporting goods, firearm safes, salt licks for cows, outdoor furniture, clothing. Definitely one of those places that are geared for the outdoorsy person. There a whole lot of stuff here, and if you're looking for a present or gift for someone, you'll find something. I came here during Black Friday, to walk off the excess Thanksgiving food I had the day before, and one of the people in my group found a cat tree for 20 bucks, (vs a cat tree at another pet store that was already half off, but 40 bucks). There are some great deals here, you just have to look! read more

Waiting in line for 5+ minutes for a very slow and very rude cashier. I purchased chemicals and naturally wanted to put them in a bag, I assumed she was going ask me how many I needed and hand them to me after checkout like she did the previous 2 customers. Well I was wrong, and not wanting to try and juggle several bottles while holding my 4 year old sons hand in the parking lot I asked for a bag. She said it was going to be 10 cents rolled eyes then said that I could not use any of the 60 cents that a previous customer left behind on the counter. So yes, I had to run my credit card for 10 cents, gotta love how silly big r has become read more

Big R Store - Maybe teach your employees to ask if your customers want a bag before they finish a checkout. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

It is insane how rude the people at the gun counter are. The worst service of any fire arm retailer I've ever experienced. It's like he just hated what he does and takes it out on people. read more

I love this store! but I am giving them on star this time. I got a flier in the mail yesterday. I saw a string mower advertised. So I want one! Sadly the Santa Fe store does have them! It seems to be the same thing over n over! I AM SOOO DONE BEING DISAPPOINTED OVER N OVER! Maybe I will just stop going here in shop else where :( read more

I love the Big Rockin' R Store! Friendly service, helpful, and I always find what I need or something new & interesting. One of my SF favs!

Big R store is a good place to shop. The sales floor workers are friendly and helpful. Management needs more training. They think they can be rude to customers and employees. They think they own the store, especially one female manager who I won't name. I'm sure she knows who she is. She needs to lighten up. read more

As another commenter posted, I always come here when I want to arm several hundred mentally challenged white nationalist children with fully automatic high capacity clipazine unregistered ghost guns without a background check. Really though, prices for transfer are lower than other FFL and they have a decent selection of home goods and hardware for fixing things around the house. read more

Excelente customer service, price and variety of products, yesterday was my first time and now is my fav store

.....huge store :cool stuff . ....asked young female sales person where could I find metal buckets ?....and she answered "I don't know "and walked away.....zero customer service. read more

I want to like this store for their convenient location, great selection and good prices. That said, it's impossible to find an employee on the floor. This afternoon I asked the checkout clerk for help finding a simple item and she wS less than helpful - I ended up leaving the items I intended to purchase and going to Big Joe's, but such a waste of time. read more

I walked in today with cash in hand ready to buy a Traeger Smoker. I could not tear one employee away from their personal conversations for assistance. I won't be back read more

Big R Santa Fe is a great store. Sure, it's not a Lowes or Dillards but a good ranch store. I grew up in era of classic ranch supply such as Amarillo Hardware and Albu Supply. Also know Big R from many years in Idaho. Good to see a store that has all the 'basic stuff' for those of us who just need basics. Sporting goods dept is great for a compact area that's not a "sports warehouse." Also found staff to be great. Will certainly go back to Big R. Austin read more

This place should get -10 stars! The lady at the front desk was completely rude and told me to go somewhere else for a $700 stock tank! If you want to get treated like shit this is definitely the place to go in Santa Fe! Thanks for the advice cashier lady! read more

I think the Big R in Santa Fe is great. They have cowboy fashion for the wife, tools, guns, ammo for me, pet food for the pup and hay for the horse. The employees are always helpful and friendly, never pushy. They welcome my dog [maybe because she cleans up any spilled dog food on the floor] and give her treats at the counter. Just a fun, friendly store that's perfect for traditional New Mexicans. Some of the " avocado toast " transplants might enjoy it as well. Give it a try! read more

Great store with lots of good hardware, farm supplies and hunting/shooting stuff. I've sent a few items here I bought online, and their FFL fee is about as good as it gets in town. read more

We like the fact that Big R in Santa Fe has proximity to the SE corridor extending toward Las Vegas. They have lots of general hardware, as well as the typical farm store goods. That's all fine. Recently we decided to buy a Stihl weed wacker from this Big R. When it comes to something specialized like that, not so good. After 5 phone calls and a visit to the store we came away empty handed. We get it that most phone receptionists don't know anything about the stock. But, the specialist we spoke with didn't say that they had to prep the weed wacker in advance. We went through an entire song-and-dance to get someone to prepare a machine and bring it out to the check-out area. At one point the phone receptionist was going to call us back when that had been done, but didn't call us, so we called her after 45 minutes. We were then told the "technician" was still out to lunch [at that point it was 3 PM]. We called again, waited interminably long for the guy to come to the phone, and we finally gave up. Next day, we bought our weed wacker from another company. We think that if we need a knowledgeable clerk, we'll not go to Big R. This isn't the fault of the employees. It is the management who doesn't provide adequate training and customer relationship skills. read more

We use to love coming to this store but today we witnessed a Korean Veteran from Penasco NM come to Santa Fe and buy a generator and NOT get his well deserved military discount because it was not Monday . It should be military day everyday . WTF By the look of it he never once complained about serving our country. What a shame Coming from a military family this is a disgrace read more

Best gun store in Santa Fe, in my opinion. Guys here are on point and prices are the lowest in town. Selection is great and they aren't aggressive when it comes to up selling. I don't see what more you could want, especially from a big box store. read more

This place probably has the best gun and gear selection in Santa Fe. The gun counter folks have been pretty knowledgeable and helpful, and the ammo prices have been fair, when they have .22lr they don't charge an arm and a leg. So far the employees store wide have all been super friendly, and my wife found a hat and three shirts here that she loves and she's picky about clothes. Overall not a bad find, I'll look for more Big R stores in my travels. read more

This store has the best firearm selection in Santa Fe, even though it's not a gun store. Prices are very fair and cheaper than Tractor Supply (for farm supplies) and The Outdoorsman (Guns). I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Jeff in the gun department is smart and helpful. It felt like to me that folks actually like working there! Highly recommended. read more

This is a great store! We have been working very hard at getting the appropriate staff and getting product, counts, and prices all correct. As you can imagine, opening a store this size comes with some glitches. We have started to develop a staff that loves what they do and work hard for the company!! I am very proud of what this location is becoming! We are working hard to become deeper involved with the local 4-H groups as well as working with some of the local animal shelters. Please stop by and see what we have to offer in our family/pet friendly ( sometimes even miniature pigs) store!! BTW, the gentleman with the hat was able to return the hat and was given either a $25 or $50 gift card for the trouble. We love our community and customers, we do our best to make everyone happy!! read more

Big R is perfect for Santa Fe. This store has the best manager & assistant managers! I visit frequently, & all of them have been very helpful. Best of all, Big R has Priefert Ranch Equipment! They have the best gates. read more

Love this store! Great addition to the Santa Fe shopping scene. Big R has better prices than TSC and is in a much better location (right near downtown). Tons of parking too! read more

New store in town, Similar to Tractor Supply. Seem nice enough and have a lot more selections. Big problem with Big R is their prices are way out of line. Make sure so check close before buying. I compared several items at Big R, Lowes, Home Depot and Tractor Supply. Several Items are more than $150 dollars higher at Big R. Yes this is Santa Fe but we still don't want to over pay. read more

These guys have a great selection of Western wear and gear. Looking for anything in clothing go here.

If I could select ZERO STARS I would! I purchased a cowboy hat from Big R in Santa Fe, NM on Monday for my toddler; this was the only hat on the shelves in the specific size. We tried it on our toddler on Tuesday which took all of 30 seconds, it did not fit. On Wednesday we took it back to Big R to get a different size. After the sales clerk refused to exchange the hat the Assistant Manager, Hanno was called. He also refused to exchange the hat as he said I should be embarrassed for returning a hat in which the sweatband was missing stitching and was dirty. We purchased the hat this way! THEY HAD THIS HAT ON THEIR SHELVES TO BE SOLD! He told me that he would be unable to put that hat on the shelves to be sold because of the "damage", even though the hat was bought off the shelf in the same condition as it was returned. As stated before it was the only one in his size and he wore it for 30 seconds. We did not damage the hat. The assistant manager, Hanno, was extremely rude and the customer service is horrible. I do not recommend purchasing any items from this store and me nor my family will EVER again! read more

I remember when Big R opened less then 5 years ago, I was wonderful! Recently I introduced the store to a family member from out of town. The store was filthy! The bathrooms were dirty. The isles were in disarray. There were labels and trash on the floor. The kitchen area where they use to have free pop corn, appeared to be the employees lunch room. I'm very disappointed. They are either short staffed or lazy. What's going on there? Take pride in your business! read more

Went to Big R in Santa Fe on Sunday afternoon. We were approached near the entrance and told that we either had to leave our purses at the register, or take them to the car in order to come in and shop! How ridiculous! Made us feel like criminals! They say the policy is across the board for all shoppers, but many many people came in with purses. Too bad for Big R. We were looking to make some large purchases. Now we will NEVER shop there again!!! What an idiotic policy!!!! read more

Store has a good variety of name brand items. Guns are over priced, Buds Gunshop or CDNN sports if you are looking for a gun. Stihl chainsaw prices are set and the store offers no service. Better to buy from a dealer at least you can deal on the price. Fishing supplies are over priced. Sportsman warehouse has a large selection and really good prices. Lincoln welders are expensive. Get from Tri gas at least you can wheel and deal and get some gas thrown in free with your purchase. Stay away from the store unless your money means nothing to you. read more
