I always love Cabela's and I find the experience at all of their locations to be fairly consistent. this was no different and it's definitely cool to shop at Cabela's in AK. If you are a fan then there's not a lot I can say that will give you new information, but that's not a bad thing. We needed to grab a jacket for my wife because, even though it was the middle of summer, we have lived in Las Vegas for several years now and AK summer is about the smae as the dead of winter in our new hometown. We were able to find her a jacket in the bargain cave to wear for our week there and probably won't wear much ever again. this made us grateful for the bargain cave price. The employees were very friendly and helpful and the whole asthetic was awesome, as always. read more

We come to Cabela's, on occasion, for camping/fishing gear and gift cards. This visit, we needed snow pants for our son. After purchasing the incorrect size in industrial snow pants from AIH, (and spending a fortune), I was happy we decided to try Cabela's. We arrived right at 10am opening. There were rack's of traditional bib snow pants, in the middle of the store, easily visible from the front entrance. We dove straight in looking for the size we needed. Two members of their customer service team or (item recovery team), rushed out to assist us. I appreciated it, because I didn't want to look thru several racks if I didn't need to. However, I am always able to see the underlying reasons of things. Cabela's definitely doesn't want people browsing/window shopping read more

Cabela's - Breakfast with Santa - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Cabela's is a store made for Alaskans who love to fish , hunt , hike or camp . The store is beautiful inside and out . It's located in South Anchorage with the Chugach mountains as a backdrop When I walked in I felt like I might be entering a grand Alaska lodge . They have everything you might possibly need or want for catching Alaska game ... big or small .They also have a very nice selection of clothes and outerwear and shoes and boots for everything Alaskan . It was easy to find someone to help me and they have a generous return policy . We are fortunate to have Cabelas in Anchorage ! . read more

Giving this place 3 stars because they have no rain gear for kids, none! In Alaska ? They have most fancy necessary and unnecessary selection but kids rain coat and pants are missing completely. The employee that was helping was really nice but his response was strange to say the least. Service was good, he tried his best to help knowing they don't have it. The Sore is insanely beautiful like a museum l. Even the waterfall is present there that explains somewhat crazy item's value. read more

Love this place it's so fun, but there have been so many incidents where I thought I didn't need a cart but then I need to go and get one. Since the carts are located near the exit you look like you might be walking out of the store with the item. I've been stopped multiple times and this time I have two people walking towards me to "stop me" where I've had to say I'm just getting a cart. MOVE YOUR CARTS IF YOU GUYS ARE SO CONCERNED OF THIS ISSUE. it's so rude and it doesn't make me feel good every time I happens. read more

We love Cabela's! For anyone who knows us, we are no stranger to the store or their sister store Bass Pro! Oddly enough, I was in two days in a row. One day on my own, searching for an alligator/shark hook for a project and another just killing some time with my husband before an event. I was in the hunt for this supersized hook and asked Dennis in the fishing department for assistance. He took me to the 20/0 circle hooks, however I had already found them and they just weren't the size I was looking for. He was super friendly and let me know Bass Pro has the shark hooks in stock. The following day, we decided to bring our dog in the store with us. He's an old pup, 14 years old and very mellow... funny thing, Dennis saw him and asked if he could give him some jerky, which we of course allowed. He was so sweet to our boy, giving him so much attention and affection. We chatted a bit and went out separate ways. It was a nice interaction and totally made me happy! Their cashiers are sometimes just 'meh' to interact with. Some are super friendly and others are a bit anti-social and not your typical customer service personnel; I guess you can't have it all. We have had no problems returning items. Last year we got a tent home and set it up in the garage, only to have a hole in the top mesh. I called immediately, they had one more in stock and put it to the side for us. No problems swapping out the two. We highly recommend the bargain den! It's not that it's damaged items, they tend to be discontinued, out of season or sometimes it's literally just missing packaging. We looked at a spotting scope a few times and found out the only reason is was in there was because it didn't have a box. 1/2 price and didn't have the original packaging that I was going to recycle anyway! Awesome! Friendly reminder, they offer a military discount as well! read more

We live 50 miles outside of town and my boyfriend was in need of new boots for work, had a packed schedule and just couldn't make it in. He is a veteran and Cabela's extends a discount for those who served, but I do not have any affiliation with this military or as a spouse. I called ahead to see if I came in to purchase boots, if he could come back another day with the receipt and receive his discount and they were happy to help. Another store in town refused to accommodate, so I was SO appreciative of Cabela'g Guest Service teammates Matt and Ron who approved the discount at the time of my purchase! The next day I was able to come back into town to return the unwanted boots and Molly made the process very easy. I cannot thank you all enough! This sealed my brand loyalty to your store. read more

On our quest to gear up for our near the arctic expedition, we stopped at Cabela's to grab a few last min items to gear up. While looking for boots, an associate by the name of Tammy offered assistance and provided an Alaskan perspective for our activities. She was an absolute delight to speak to and went above and beyond and made us feel very welcome in the store and valued as individuals. read more

Lots of mounts and live fish! Less so when it comes to the rain jackets. I couldn't find a single Gore-Tex jacket in small. When I asked about the selection they directed me to the bargain cave. There wasn't a single rain jacket in there. The selection of rain jackets included Columbia, North Face, Bass Pro Brand, and Cabela's. I guess my overall impression is that they don't really have rain gear for the hiker/backpacker. I was hoping for Marmot, Mammut, or Arteryx. read more

Absolutely amazing store. They have lots and lots of outdoor gear for every type of outdoorsman. Their gun and scope selection is especially impressive. It's got to be the biggest in Alaska. They even had ammo, which is impossible to find these days. Unfortunately they don't have any 44 magnum ammo which was a huge disappointment for me. What I was impressed with was their selection of outdoorsy food/culinary related items. The Smoking, canning, butchering, grilling, preserving and cooking selection are what sets this store apart from other similar stores. I still think that no- frills BJS is probably the best place in town for camping, hiking and survival gear. But hunters and cooks will love Cabelas and the kids will too. The layout of the store is very logical. Thank goodness for that , since the store is positively massive. They were smart to have a cafe, since after hours of browsing, shoppers will be hungry. read more

Cabela's store is located in a much better area compare to Bass pro in Mountain view. They pretty much have similar stuff but prices at Bass pro is a little bit better. However, Cabela's does have a wider selection of guns (they have a gun library that should say a lot) and I really like Cabela's selection of gun safes. Overall, if you're looking for fishing stuff go with Bass Pro and for hunting I would check out Cabelas but compare prices. Oh yeah, Bass Pro offer 10% military discount and Cabelas is only 5%. Cabelas and Bass Pro have both state and federal bird stamps - I got my hunting license and bird stamps ready for opening day. read more

Cabela's - Entry way. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Was shopping around for a grill and came here. I'm not much of a hunter / outdoorsman, but there is quite the selection from clothing to grills. I am not a fan of taxidermy, which this place has a lot of. Didn't get a grill, but may come again... read more

Walked in cabellas. Mandate on doors to wear masks. Found 11 people 2 were employees not wearing mask. Asked an employee about it and she said fine print and all we can't make you. She didn't want to ask the gentleman sat dune to to us to put on a mask. Said she can't not store policy and not mandated Cabellas has lost my busing forever. read more

What can you say about cabelas? I mean it pretty much has everything you need and more. I always come in here for one thing and leave with 10(like target ) I guess my only gripe about the place is that it's a little disorganized, I like how it's broken up into brands, however it's a little annoying to have them all spread out especially woman's and men's clothing. read more

This store is absolutely amazing!!! Everything imaginable for the outdoorsy woman ( and men) is here, all in one spot . Opening day parking was horrible. I got lucky and parked right out front!! Every time I come in here I find more and more gadgets the more cool a stuff and the most important reliable and knowledgeable customer representatives all over the floor. This is one of my two favorite stores in town! read more

I'm in need of some lightweight base layer tops to wear to work. I went to a few other retailers in my Christmas shopping route with no luck. I have two different weight layers in plain black from Cabela's which I have worn for years and was hoping to replenish my supply. I walked in and a guy was giving out free samples of jerky, yum, only weirdos like my vegetarian daughter wouldn't appreciate that ( really, I mean no disrespect to the veggielution). I walk all through the Women's section and didn't find any base layer type things. Thinking I missed them, I walked back up to the front of the store to find someone to help me. I usually pretty good at finding stuff on my own. Found a person who took me all the way backe to the fish tank and there were no women's base layers to be seen. The associate who took me to where the the base layers were supposed to be then found another employee who actually worked in the Women's department. She informed us there are no women's undergarments not even base layers, they only have them for men. WOW!! This is Alaska, women go outside in 2019. FFS. What the heck, Cabela's? Well, Bass Pro does own Cabela's now. Terrible shopping experience, terrible merchandise selection for something so basic. I foresee another closure of a retailer in the future. read more

I wanted to send huge thanks to Kathryn Thompson at this location who was unbelievably helpful throughout the process on me purchasing my browning X-Bolt Stalker long range rifle. This was the only location that had it available, and I am located in California. Kathryn did everything possible to make sure I was able to successfully purchase this rifle and had it shipped to the closest bass pro shop. If I lived in the area I would drop her off a gift card to show my appreciation, hopefully management can do that favor for me! I'll probably still figure out a way to send her something, she was awesome, thank you again Kathryn! read more

Do you know Anchorage Cabela's needs to wake up they just ran me out of their store after I went in there to buy a $6000.00 4 wheeler because I wouldn't Wear a Mask!! I have been totally vaccinated what good is it to get vaccinated if you're still forced to do something like wear a mask I think everybody in Anchorage should BOYCOTT CABELA in Anchorage!! Also they try to tell you that it's a Law!! Wrong!!! It's a mandate!! And they choose to force you to wear a mask against your civil rights!! I will no longer step foot in a Cabela's store in Alaska you go to Dallas there's no forced mask wearing I just came from there and they didn't say a word about it because Texas is got it right and the idiots here in Anchorage have it wrong including the idiots that work at Cabelas!! read more

Fun sports store to kill time in while waiting out a rainstorm! The prices seemed a bit higher to me than Bass Pro, but their customer service was very easy to find and everyone seemed well informed in their areas. Sidenote:. RVs can stay overnight (2 nights max) in their parking lot of necessary. I spotted 6 or 7 on our way out and inquired to verify. read more

I went in to return a tent that was defective. I was very relieved Cabela's stands behind their products and was happy to give me an in store credit or exchange. I opted for the exchange because the I lost too much value taking the lowest sale price for an in store credit losing $150 in value of my investment. I think Cabelas could improve its practices by emailing you an electronic receipt with your purchase or looking at your order history on your rewards program. Who keeps paper receipts for years? Loyal customers with rewards programs are proof of purchase in my book. A lot of businesses do electronic receipts making it easy to track purchases- it's a digital age. That said, I was still extremely happy Cabela's exchanged the tent. Madison helped me and she did a super job and was appreciative of my patience which didn't take much because she was working so hard to make me happy and take care of me. There is some inconvenience in waiting for my tent to be shipped and can't hunt until I get it. But I have faith in Cabela's backing their product and will continue to purchase high end products with confidence. read more

I bought a $200 portable chargeable battery from them. Got to use it one time before it quit holding a charge. I returned it after their 60 day return policy but was able to present the receipt and was told by customer service that they would let me exchange it for a new one. In the process of looking for a new one, a different customer service member came out and told the lady helping me that he would of told me to "kick rocks" and then proceeded to tell me that they shouldn't have agreed to let me exchange it because I waited to long to come back and that I'm lucky. After about 30 minutes of searching for a replacement it was determined by the customer service manager that he won't be able to exchange, refund or store credit for my purchase and that I should try my luck with the company that made the battery. The day prior I spent $400 on products at their store, and have been a regular customer to them since their grand opening years ago. Right now I have no desire to ever give them money again. read more

really good people in there helpful I just got a fly rod and this worker helped me out with all I needed to get a start on fly fishing would definitely stop here to get what you need. read more

Is anyone else tired of having to jump out of the way or go down another isle, this place is overrun with people and unruly dogs. I don't really want to go shopping for clothes covered in dog hair and drool. I will no longer shop at cabelas until they change this policy. Also, no, none of these dogs had a service animal vest. I counted 7 dogs and saw urine on the floor. Not an enjoyable shopping experience. read more

I came in here today to get some outdoor accessories as well as some ideas on fishing gear for the upcoming season. I always enjoy coming in here especially when browsing. There is a nice seating area by the entrance complete with armchairs and a large fireplace with a rug. In the very back, there is a huge aquarium with a walk-through tunnel that reminds me of a smaller version of the aquariums I've been to in SeaWorld down in San Diego and Ft. Fisher down in Wilmington, NC right next to the Atlantic Ocean. This is a nice addition for customers to spend their time browsing in the store. There is also an impressive display of stuffed and mounted animals lined up around the ceiling of the store. The variety of items they sell here are plenty from camping gear and hunting rifles to winter clothing and fishing poles. On a previous visit a couple of months back, I found some great deals on cold weather socks by Carhartt as well as a couple of fleece blankets with wildlife designs that were perfect when the weather was still 10 or 20 degrees. Today, I found some good deals on several fishing poles and fishing gear with a storewide Spring sale discount. I also couldn't help but make a couple of impulse purchases on bacon jerky. These are a lot tastier and more tender than your regular beef jerky. I picked two flavors:the maple syrup and the smoked hickory. As in most of my reviews, the highlight of this visit always has to do with food and it was time for lunch. They have a nice little café with a country rustic design along with several tables and chairs as well as shelves full of touristy items reminiscent of the Cracker Barrel Restaurants down in the Lower 48 filled with locally made jams, jellies, chocolates, pancake mixes, soup mixes, smoked salmon, and home-made style fudge. The deli has a full menu of sandwiches, soups, salads, nachos, ice cream, and wild game. The wild game menu caught my attention. They had sandwich selections of bison, elk, and wild boar! I ordered the wild game club sandwich which was a choice of two wild game meats on your choice of sourdough, rye, white or whole wheat along with mayo, lettuce, onion, and your choice of cheese. I decided to go with bison and wild boar on sourdough bread with cheddar cheese and a side salad with blue cheese. The sandwich was absolutely phenomenal. The wild boar reminded me so much of pork roast and had the tenderness of a Christmas ham. The bison was also delicious without being too gamey. Bison is definitely the type of meat that would be ideal for backyard BBQ cheeseburgers. The salad was pre-made in a plastic container, but the ingredients were fresh and made even better with a packet of Ken's Blue Cheese Dressing. The salad and the drink came along with the sandwich at an awesome deal for $9.99. Overall, my purchases came to just $41.00 with the storewide sale. This was one of the more fun and unconventional shopping experiences I've had. You never know what you can come across in terms of interesting items and hidden sales if you look hard enough. It is always a shopping adventure in itself whenever I come in here. read more

Always a great adventure here! So much to eat, look at, touch, play with, and try out. If you need fishing gear, hunting gear, hiking gear...actually anything outdoors, here is your one stop shop!! They have it ALL!! read more

Kinda disappointed I get you have 90 days but I was given a gift 60 days after it was purchased and wanted to exchange the item with box and receipt for a more expensive item and was told you have to go to the company to do that. I will stick to REI is that's the case. I am disappointed because I wanted to actually buy a better item for more money. And I was under 30 days out of the original 90. Come on that's crazy. Customer service was nice just disappointing. read more

Went into Cabela's about 11:00 a.m. on March 2nd to pick up a pair of shoes they had advertised in a sale flyer that was to begin on March 2nd. The pair I was interested in turned out not to be what I was after, but as luck would have it, I did see a nice pair of leather moccasins and then also another pair of boots that I decided to pick up. The display shoes were on the wall, and so were were stocked in a back room and not out on the floor where I could access them. There was no one around to ask for help. I hung around for 15 minutes, gave up, and took off. Odd to have no help on the beginning sale day, and frustrating. They lost the sale, not a bunch but around $200, and I figured it was a lesson to me to continue with my normal practice of buying local, smaller stores. read more

Beautiful store! Think Toys R Us for boys (and girls) and their toys. It's worth the trip just to look at the mounts and aquarium Small deli inside with wild game sandwiches. I didn't try them, but I thought they looked good. read more

Terrible customer service purchased a shotgun found out later the chokes were for a 12 ga not a 20 ga that I purchased which makes the gun unusable left 4 messages for Cory Jackson the firearms manager have not got a single reply As firearms cannot be returned and no reply from cabelas manager I will have to take my complaints to a higher level. read more

Miles of fun and shopping. Love the Bargain Cave in The back. Surprisingly, didn't find the kid backpack I needed this time.

Do you need any sort of outdoor gear? Well, there's a really good chance they have it here. From jackets to boots to fishing and everything else, this is a large store packed with all kinds of outdoorsy-ness. I got all the items I was looking for without too much of a hunt. And they have a wide selection of everything with prices to fit most every budget. And it's all clean and nice and well kept. You can even get your fishing license here. But you gotta check your firearms upon entering. read more

The service continues to get worse. Returned a 9 dollar scope cap( that the gun department swore would fit my scope) anyways... got the right one that was 4 dollars more and he couldn't figure out how to do the return.... during the process he kept playing candy crush on his phone and making excuses.... he got someone else to try to do the exchange... when he asked me for my ID I gave him my retired military ID... then informed me it was "not a legal form of Identification ". He they proceeded to criticize my choice in scope caps and told me I was "buying garbage".... I have a good idea what your hourly wage is so don't act like you are better than me and don't give me your condescending attitude as a customer Really? I cancelled my Cabellas card as soon as I got home... the employees there DONT KNOW NOTHING about the outdoors, firearms or fishing... or customer service... sportsman's warehouse and bass pro shop will have my business from now on even if it means paying more... they at least know how to treat people ..if I ever have to do business with them again it will strictly be online... read more

A new (to me) Cabelas, a new (to me ) state, the same great Cabelas store, employees and service. By our own luck my wife and I stopped by Cabelas on "women's day." They had some sort of promotional event starting at 10:00 that morning. We stood in line, got a gift bag and went perusing through the store with our two pups in tow. I don't know if it was because we had a 12 week old German Shepherd with us or if the employees were just friendly, but we got asked [no less than] 15 times if we needed help finding anything. They may have been friendly, but I think they were using the conversation as a segway to pet my dogs ;) We looked all through the store, handled a few firearms, looked at a few safes, bear spray, dog items, etc. One employee was particularly helpful - I just wish I could remember his name. He helped us find a product we were looking for and assisted us in checking the availability of another. My only gripe (-1 star) was that the folks at the bulky-item pickup location were unprepared to bring an item out for us. Between waiting for my item to be carted out to the truck, them figuring out how to work their own equipment and loading the item into the bed, my wife, dogs and I sat there for more than 30 minutes. It was disappointing and contrasted the entire 2.5 previous hours we had spent in the store. I'll definitely be back....I may just stay away from items that require me to use the customer pickup door ;) read more

Great store Super Clean and had most items in stock. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, what else could you ask for? Well funny you should ask, they try to "Sell" you their credit card the Whole time you are shopping! I mean every stinking employee! You can tell they are getting in trouble from management for not selling enough so they're in a panic just begging everyone the entire time! I mean it's to the point my wife will not even go in there with me anymore. I don't know if they are struggling really bad financially or if they just don't care about the customer experience at all but they have went so far downhill with that experience it is hard to keep supporting them. I was talking to a guy in clothing and I took a form from him just to shut him up and the guy in fishing saw me take it from him and I was barely over the line and he was yelling at me that I should've taken it from him as I was in his department and had more things from his department in my cart. He was saying he's going to try to get the other employee in trouble for poaching his department and crap. It is so unprofessional that I think I'm going to start having to go to sportsman's warehouse where you can actually have a good experience. I really hope they can work this out and start focusing on the customer experience again. read more

I went to a Cabelas for the second time and I did not have the greatest experience at the Anchorage location. Cabelas is offering a promotional coupon that expires on September 14, which I lost, but was told by a cashier that worked there to go to customer service and they would give me another coupon. The coupon was $25 off your purchase of $100 or more. An older gentleman in customer service told me that the coupon expired, but it had not. Then proceeded to tell me that they would not replace the coupon even though a Cabelas cashier told me they would. He asked if i wanted to purchased my things and I told him no and put everything back that I was going to purchase. One, dont lie to customers about coupons expiring when they clearly have not. Two, if you work in customer service, you should at least pretend that you care about your customers while you are clocked in even if you truly dont. Its your job to provide a good experience for your customers. I dont see myself doing any more business at this location. read more

I was amazed today when Cabela's in Anchorage had a special sale and none of the employee's had a clue of what was going on. I was one of about 10 people that were interested in a boot that was on sale. There were no sign of this sale. After asking about 6 people where the boots were the excuse we got was that's not my department one found 3 pairs of boots that were the right ones.. I was disappointed with the store. One lady named Ginnette waited on me and tried to find the right boot. They ended up selling me a different pair for the sale price. It surprised me that the employees were not told more about the sale. Also there was only a few pair of the boots on sale... Management should have meetings with employees and let them what is going on... I felt sorry for them..... Tom A. read more
