Customer service exceptionalon #superpower #Sunday with serious crowds Brightly lit ample parking Must allocate 2+ hours more with little ones in tow ... They had so many options to choose from The costs are affordable for every budget Hunting Fishing Camping and snacking or bbq ing... Centrally located right off highway

Love this place!!!!! I am a very avid fisherman and I absolutely love the fishing section from the rods, reels to the large amount of tackle it's amazing I wish we had this in Jersey! The workers were very nice not sure why they have so many 1 star reviews! Couldn't suggest this place more if you are an outdoors person it's great!

African taxidermy display area
Maxx T.

Cabela's is an awesome place to stop!! the taxidermy is truly something amazing, they have various displays all throughout the store and all are great! The aquarium and fish in the pond area is also amazing! The store is truly huge and an awesome place to explore, I totally recommend it!

Open some registers, hire some employees!

They have a large selection of stuff but the bathrooms are bad and the line just to get to a cash register is very long. I don't think they respect their customers very much.

This store is huge and they have everything you need, want and can dream of for the outdoors. I could spend alot of time in here. It was clean and well kept and the selections were broad. I tell you they have EVERYTHING in this store. They also have an upstairs that I didn't even make it do because we were traveling. The check outline was quite long but moved fast. I bought a Northface shirt and it was reasonably priced.

M&P 9 Shield Ez

I bought my first handgun today at 25--a M&P 9 Shield EZ. While I was excited about this milestone, the experience left me a bit uneasy. The customer service wasn't great. The salesperson wasn't very helpful or forthcoming with information. Another customer even commented that, as a man, I should already know what I wanted when I came in, which added to the pressure. The person behind the counter chuckled at that comment but didn't step in to offer support or guidance, which was disappointing for a first-time buyer like me. Despite all this, they followed protocol, did the background check, and everything went smoothly on that front. But the expectation that I should already be knowledgeable just didn't sit right with me. It made me feel like I wasn't in the right place.

Park your RV, Go look around, enjoy the eye candy, buy what you need and what you desire, get snacks, ask for help, scan the Clearance section (they have at least 6 locations), and then your 4 hour trip is good to go! You can find what you want for a great price.

On the counter is the two lines of guns you have to wait it left background check line right inspection line

I have came to this location multiple times to buy a firearm. Over the course of the three times that I came to this Hamburg location, I have waited a minimum of 3 hours and this last time pushing 6 hours. After asking questions over the course of these three times I have gotten clarification: Step one wait in line to look at, select or pick up an online order. Step two Fill out the online background check application. Step three Wait your turn in line, for them to get to your firearm. ******Now this is where I want to bring clarification to their process -you filled out the background check, using the computer. -Cabela's does not submit the background check until they get to your gun, in the physical line. -At this point your probably been in line for anywhere from 45 minutes (at the least) to about 2-3 hours or even more. Step four They file the background check which takes on a good day about 15 minutes. *** during this time, is where all the wasted time is spent. It seems that the person at the counter is waiting by the computer to see if you get approved, if you do great! But you could be put into pending, if your put into pending then they put your firearm and paperwork on the back shelf, and move onto another customer. Then after they finish with their next customer a Cabela's worker will check to see if any of the pending people are approved, and grab that persons firearm and paper work and finally move to the next step. Step five You sign your name to their computer as well as sign their safety waver with 3 questions and get a "double double" a coworker checking the information that was entered on the screen. Normally about 10-15 minutes Step six They put your gun back on the other side of the counter. At this point you think your in the home stretch, wrong. There is typically one or two people checking over all the paperwork on average this takes about 10 minutes per gun in line. So if you see 6 other firearms figure you have about 30 minutes to 1 hour before you can finally get checked out. Step seven You pay and finally you get to leave Now I'd like to give my criticisms 1- there is not enough chairs. *****you often see people leaning on the skids of products and display racks. Elderly people not having any availability of seats. If you were lucky enough to get a seat, when you get called up to the desk your most likely loose your seat. 2. You can be here for hours and I mean hours I was here for 6 hours today. they do not supply water, or have vending machines with snacks, or even a simple water fountain and the bathroom is in the front of the store, combined with the lack clarification as to their whole process. You think it'll just be a little longer and try and hold it. Along with the fear that if you leave to go in search of something or the bathroom you'll be called and loose your place in line. 3. There is no explanation of the process. You are lead to believe that the wait time is because of the background check. But the main wait is waiting your turn in line to get to the back ground check. **** there has to be a more streamlined way. 4. Their should be a screen letting you know your place in line, as well as the status of your background check, and an estimated time. So that you can go and browse the store, find refreshments and use the bathroom. 5. The counter people not calling names Loud enough. ****I've been through this process a decent amount of time and have hours of people waiting. Some time the workers will look at the ID and see the person and keep calling the name to soft and then stand there and get irritated.

[1091] 6/2020 We love visiting this location since it's huge with so many options. The parking lot is huge so you know it gets packed. They have tons of options for any type of sport or outdoor activity. The staff is very friendly. I visited during the pandemic and be aware you are not required to wear a mask but if you are then they are not enforcing. Many people without masks

See all

Very cool place. I go there about once a year to stock up on fishing supplies. I spend hours looking around at all the cool items.
