Supply & Demand issues should never offer up service as a sacrifice. Cabelas is swamped with gun and ammo buyers . The Corporate structure put in nifty technology to offset the long lines 2 to 3 hours in some cases to buy a gun . The staff is fatigued and provides little to no service. Gun cases are empty . Display guns are presented as new out of the box . I get it , your busy . Everyone wants a gun ,but your not the only game in town. The background check is a mess when done online and takes more time than a call in at a mom and pop weapons merchant. Service and knowledge are key ! If this is your first gun , FIRST JOIN THE NRA ,do some research. Get an badeline understanding then go to a small gun store . Avoid cabela's. They will sell you a gun and have No Ammo or Patience for you . Don't be fooled by square footage , service and knowledge matter with weapons . The sun has set on cabela's . They are a fish on the deck , flopping around . A slow death . read more

This time around I had a better chance to sample their menu since the grill was open. I had the elk burger with sweet potato fries. Both were pretty good! The elk burger was definitely different lol It didn't taste like a beef and had a seasoning on it. Sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. Oh, and I was very happy to discover their clearance section! It's in the back of the first floor, behind the staircase that leads up to the dining area. It's call something like the "Savings Cave." There were a ton of great deals in there, especially on clothing. read more

Cabela's is the ultimate store for the people who like spending time in the great outdoors. They sell everything you could possibly need for an outdoor adventure. Hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and more than i can even think of. The store is massive, kinda like a museum too. Tons of taxidermy animals decorate the store. I spent a lot of time just looking at displays and reading descriptions. But I mostly came to buy bullets, cuz they're cheaper in PA. Pretty lax with gun laws over here, but the guys working know their stuff. Also ended up getting a knife, mostly because I can't resist a good knife. Stop by if you're in the area. It's basically a free museum. And the bargain cave has tons of steals. read more

The store is huge and you can see it rom Route 78. Prepare to spend several hours here if you want to walk through it properly. There is a lot to see including a fish aquarium. read more

Cabels's is for the outdoors enthusiasts. It has all you could want in one huge place. The reason I go to Cabela's is to accompany my husband on some of his many trips to the store. We live close, so we tend to go on a weeknight when the store is not so packed. I like the shoe department. They usually have some kind of clearance deals, I have purchased Dansko sandals and clogs at a very reasonable price. The fish aquarium is a must see! In my experience the staff has always been very friendly. Oh yeh, they sell fudge! read more

Cabela's - Welcome - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Hamburg, Pennsylvania

Hi all, this happened a few years ago and didn't think to write a review. I bought a pair of Cabelas boots which were over priced but had a get a pair free warranty. Within 4 months the wear on the boots were abnormal so I went back to exchange them for another free pair, they denied my warranty. They said there is to much wear. I showed them the receipt and they said they didnt care. I know it could be just a bad employee but I had the employee contact a manager and he the manager denied the warranty also. That being said, I have never shopped their again and now am an avid online shopper. I get better deals cheaper prices and obviously better products. I am so happy that this company is a dishonest one because I have a new shopping experience that I would never have discovered. I implore Cabellas to treat all of their customers horribly so we can rid companies like this from doing business. Capitalism is wonderful. read more

It took over two weeks for my item to be delivered. Much of that time, the package sat in a warehouse at the opposite end of our state. It's time for Cabela's to find a different delivery service. Currently, they use Fedex. When Fedex finally delivered our package, it was left on the ground next to our mailbox. Our mailbox is located 1/2 mile from our house on a fairly busy street. Had I not gone out to check our mail, I am fairly certain the package would have been stolen. Other delivery services (UPS, USPS, etc.) deliver right to our door. I will not order on-line from Cabela's again. Cindy G. read more

Quite an incredible place. Much to choose from and well organized. Long line at check out but moved along very quickly. Good experience.

Spent over an hour ordering 4 items , using their 800 number. I'm certain they offshore their customer service, as it was somewhat difficult to understand the order taker. I received the products, one of which was light weight wool blend socks. I ordered the heavy weight and when I called to correct the order, I was told that the ad was a misprint and the socks came in medium or light weight and I should have received the medium weight. It took over an hour on the phone to correct the issue, again having difficulty understanding the nice woman's accent. That's over 2 hours of my life I will never get back for 4 pairs of socks. Cabela's is another company I have written off. I'll pay more and shop a local small business. read more

very disappointed in the ship to store online procedure. After ordering an item it took over 2 weeks to come in, i could of ordered it off the manufacture and had it in 3 days. Then when i get to Cabelas customer service to pick it up i needed to wait another 25 minutes in line as they only had 3 people working behind the counter. The line wrapped back pass the front doors. There were plenty of other Cabelas reps just standing around. Maybe management needs to do there job and allocate their associates where there needed most. This will not happen to me again, i wont be back. read more

Beware online Site information. There are many search options. among them are filters for general availability and in stock at designated store. I searched several items both for general and in-store availability and was given the claimed number of products in the Waco Texas store. Upon clicking on the specific items every single one was declared OUT OF STOCK. True also for ammunition components with claimed availability (This is very likely true as all ammunition in the United States has been bought up and hoarded at this time) Depending on the Cabela's internet site could result in a useless trip to the store read more

Thank you for allowing us to spend the night in your stores RV lot. It could not have been better. The store is well stocked and the staff is friendly. There is a dump stations for usage during regular store hours. I was especially pleased to see all is the other RVers wing responsible. read more

I love the store but the checkout is so slow I'm going to think twice about coming here. 25 people in line as I write this and only three cashiers. If they moved quickly it might be ok but they are so slow. This was the case the last three times I visited. I mentioned my displeasure with the waits to cashier "Joe" who responded that I should find a different place to shop. At least now I don't have to think twice about coming here- I just won't. Thanks Joe. read more

Came here to kill some time after dinner. Although they don't have a very big camping/backpacking section, the aquarium and the displays were pretty cool. The staff seemed very friendly. The only reason I knocked off a star is because we got asked about 12 times if we had the club card. Other than that it was a pretty neat experience. read more

Kudos to Cabela's. Even though their establishment is top-of-the-line I must say that their compassion is also top-notch. I am an essential worker and a catastrophe adjuster. There was a recent windstorm in Pennsylvania I am because of the Covid 19 all RV places were closed. Even though there is a time limit on how long you can stay in the RV parking because of the circumstances I was able to speak with the assistant general manager Stephanie and because of her compassion and understanding she allowed me to stay a little longer so that I can help the good people in the surrounding areas with damage to their home. read more

This place was amazing. Not jus a store, it's like an adventure visiting this place. As you drive up, you are greeted by a humongous wood lodge cabin like store set on top of a hill. You wonder how much stuff can they sell to fill a store this big? Well, you'll understand when you walk though those doors. As I mentioned before, this isn't a ordinary outdoors store, you can bring your whole family here and have a great time. From the aquarium, to the taxidermy, you can even feed some fishes if you want. With that said, you can also find any and all outdoors need you can think of is this store. If Cabela's goal was to provide and experience instead of just selling outdoors stuff, they've definitively achieved that in spades. read more

Cabela's - I feel like I'm about to head in an amusement park. - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Hamburg, Pennsylvania

No one pick up the phone. I called Cabela's in Lacey more than hundred times to check on my back round check status already passed 35 days I left voice mails no one even bother to call you back I was there twice waiting in line at 6:30 in the morning to do my background check and for my gun it took 4 hours Very bad service, my gun already paid for, back round check already done and now I'm told I have to do it again another one hour drive to Olympia another early morning wait and another 4 hours wait to re do a background check you can never get hold of the outfitters and they never answer voicemails back. read more

I am not a fan of this store. It gives me the creeps to have all of those dead animals looking at me. I think that the clothes are cheaply made and over-priced. Also, the bus loads of over weight middle Americans pouring into the store was visually arresting. Seriously, I didn't know that America was that overweight. IMHO this store has only one redeeming merit, and no other reviewers have mentioned it: the Bargain Cave. If you don't mind picking through things, you can find some GREAT bargains here. I bought a down vest for $5. I bought some other things I didn't know I needed until I saw them, too (like down-filled long underwear that were designed for hunters but came in handy waiting outside for the Obama inauguration). The Bargain Cave is worth a detour off of 78. read more

I have a lot of family in Pennsylvania, so when my family and I travel thataway, we always stop at Cabela's to use their bathrooms and stretch our legs. My father told me about Cabela's long before I went there to see it for myself. He always raved about how huge it was, the awesomeness of the aquarium section, and the grandioseness of the taxidermied animal display. I was in awe when I walked inside Cabela's for the first time. To put the size of the store in one word: vast. I'm not a hunter or camper or anything of the sort (I prefer the commodities of living indoors like central AC and heat, a soft bed, walls), so at first I thought there wouldn't be any merchandise that would interest me. I was wrong. My spidey senses kicked in and I found the North Face and UnderArmour section of the store - hallelujah to being high maintenance! If you're into camping or hunting, this place is a GOLDMINE. If you can't find what you need here, you can't find it anywhere. There is also a huge selection of beef jerky, so if you have a brother like mine who loves jerky and you don't know what to get him for his birthday, Christmas, et al, just start a stockpile of the Cabela's jerky (he swears its among the best he's had). The aquarium tunnel, as I like to call it, is so cool. I felt like my six year old self when I first walked through the aquarium - I almost had my nose pressed against the glass as I shouted to my mom, "Look at that one! Oooooh look at THAT one!" Taxidermy freaks me out but at the same time, I find it humorous now that I've seen that absolutely hilarious Chuck Testa video (google it). Smack-dab in the middle of Cabela's is a mountain of taxidermied animals. So many taxidermied animals, more than I'll ever see at once in my life and that's a fact. I'm a real stickler for the cleanliness and overall appearance of a bathroom. Cabela's has it DOWN. Their bathrooms are as vast as the store and are very clean, well decorated, and have those trough sinks that I so "deerly" love. If you're ever driving out west to PA and you pass Cabela's (don't worry, you can't miss it), you should absolutely stop and check it out. It's not a shot in the dark (see what I did there?) to say that you'll love it. read more

I visited Cabelas the other day while in the area. it is HUGE! I mean, I'd stop by just to see it, but I wouldnt go shopping there, I did look at their selection of tents, most were in the kind-of-expensive to expensive range. But the cool thing is that they have this huge diorama around the store and also a very large aquarium. Theres a big statue of a canoe outside too. So much growth has sprung up around there it's amazing. The lines were long, and the store was packed, it took about 5 minutes to find a decent parking spot. They did give me an application for a credit card. (apply & you'll get a 10% off coupon & a free hat.) This was neat, but dont go out of your way to see it. Kennels, RV hookups, you name it it's got it. read more

CARD HOLDERS BEWARE!!! READ IF YOU ARE A CABELAS CARD HOLDER - because Cabelas sold out to BassPro, your credit card may get cancelled and your account CLOSED without you calling to close it!!!! ILLEGAL!!! They cannot close your account, but they did it to several people I know and credit scores dropped!!! Lawsuits are coming next. The store is dirty, the employees rude and childish, the food has always sucked and now they lost a lot of business with the credit card mishap. GOOD JOB TO WHOMEVER DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA! read more

When it comes to buying a gun, go here for your recon. Knowledgeable staff. When it comes to purchasing your gun, go anywhere else. Your paying for the big yellow letters and the bison burgers in the café. This place is soooo overpriced on everything. Even their clearance section is a joke. read more

Gun library: Unsatisfactory customer situation. I have a federal gun collectors license, a MASS LTC and am an NRA firearms instructor. I wanted to see an M1 Garand in the gun library as a potential purchase. I asked to see the trigger group of an M1 to assess its correctness. NOT POSSIBLE. I asked to remove the M1 stock to confirm the barrel date. NOT POSSIBLE. I asked to measure the muzzle and throat erosion to assess the wear. NOT POSSIBLE. I asked if the gun was in working order. "DON'T KNOW, IT'S SOLD AS IS". Appears they are targeting inexperienced potential buyers with over priced guns and not allowing knowledgeable potential buyers to accurately assess such guns' realistic value. Seem counterintuitive to me. At Cabela's in Hudson, MA. read more

Okay I like Cabela's like most people. I typically shop the gun section, but have been throughout the entire store, two times, one about 4 months ago. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I had my dog with me this time and we called ahead and they said YES you can bring in the dog. At entry into the store I was greeted and handed a dog biscuit and poop bag (just incase he said). The one thing I don't care for in the store is all the store associates trying to get you to sign up for their credit card. While in the gun section I could not find the ammo I was looking for and the head store person for the gun section went to the back of the store to personally confirm they didn't have any. This was very much appreciated. read more

This is a store to be experienced. It's almost an attraction, rather than a place to shop.First off, the place can be seen from the highway. You don''t realized how large it is until you start up their driveway. At the top of the hill is an enormous parking lot, and, as the 1st reviewer mentioned, it gets crowded in the store, so the lot can be full. You know what you've got yourself into when you realize they have places marked off for bus parking. Before you get into the store, there is a sculpture, about 3x normal size of hunters in a canoe. It's detail is compelling. I'm not a big fan of sculptures, but I had to spend about 10 minutes walking around it just to take the whole thing in. Cabelas, itself is a huge store. It looks like a lodge made of logs, and the inside is quite spectacular. The ceiling in the center of the store must be 25-30ft high, with a mountain in the rear of the store (more later). The ceiling is lower on the right and left and has numerous big game head mounts on either side. The store is broken up by departments. Clothes in the center, fishing on the right, firearms on the left, boots/archery in the back with the hunting supplies. The fishing department has a pretty good size walk through aquarium with a lot of species of game fish from the north east. The tanks must be 8ft tall, and the fish are all of the large variety. Pictures with descriptions are located at the base of the tanks. The very back of the store has an out-cove with mounts from Africa, including an elephant and lions. They're displayed in a kind of natural type setting. The mountain, next to it, contains a lot of mounts from the big game found in North America and each side of the mountain depicts a different region in the US (mountain, forest, desert, etc). There's even a pond with live fish swimming around a one of the largest moose mounts I've ever seen. Somewhere off to the left is a room full of deer trophies, also impressive. Upstairs in the store is a restaurant, which serves a selection of typical grilled/deli foods, along with some of the more exotic stuff, like bison or emu. Unfortunately, from what I've tired, the food isn't that good, but that doesn't really detract from the store. The upstairs also houses the housewares/furniture department along with some hunting style art and gifts. The entire left wall downstairs is devoted to firearms. If you like guns, this is the place. At least, to look. I found prices to be pretty much MSRP. I don't know how they are for bargaining but they have a pretty large selection of used rifles. If you're interested in that type of stuff, make sure you visit the firearms specialty room. It's near the front of the store on the left, flanked by the elephant tusks. The showcases house some of the more expensive/antique guns for sale, and you might see some truly rare pieces. On the way out of the store, make sure you stop in the cabins set up outside the store. They're interesting to look around. If you're in the Allentown area, make sure you stop in, even if you don't buy anything, the store is worth a visit. read more

I have never been to the store before and just the appearance alone was very impressive. I went in for some archery supplies and Justin was extremely helping me find a proper tab and even let me try it out with a few arrows downrange. He also gave me some useful shooting tips. The cashier was also super nice and hilarious while checking me out. By far one of the best costumer service experiences I've ever received. read more

This place is awesome. Where else can you get Ostrich cold cuts and a .50 caliber sniper rifle in the same place? Or a Dora the Explorer blowgun? They also have a special room full of antique/specialty guns. I believe you can buy the rifle that Buffalo Bill killed the last Buffalo in the face with. Or a hand-held cannon with a trumpet on the end that they used to shoot Elephants with in the 1800s. Stuff like that. They also have a mountain. And a stream. Inside. The mountain is covered with the following taxidermied animals: Black bears, grizzly bears, Polar bears, goats, beavers, lions, antelopes, lions eating antelopes, elephants, and others, all of which you can order in the restaurant. Not really, of course. That would be silly. But you can have some of them. Besides Ostrich they have Bison and some others I can't recall at the moment (Kangaroo maybe?) If that doesn't sound good to you, then tough shit, because that's all they have, and if you're not the kind of person that would order the Ostrich sandwich because it sounds kind of cool, even though it doesn't taste particularly good (it doesn't) then Cabela's isn't your kind of place. read more

This is an amusement wonderland for adults (and kids too). Plan on spending a day here. It's engaging and interactive. Their prices? - Just be a smart shopper. Plan on taking pictures as they have a vast of displays of the wild. If you are a animal activist - you should stay away. They have a decent clearance section in the back. This is worth the stop along the highway. read more

Ambiance is one thing, products are another. The majority of products in this store are not made in the good old USA even though they give you the impression that it is. All American, I mean. Watch what you buy here, especially clothes. VERY expensive and not made as well as it could be. Labels include Sri Lanka, India, China, etc. Be wary. I was not impressed and I am an avid hunter. Talking deer and shooting gallery aside, the food is terrible and products so-so. read more

Ammo prices are reasonable and they stock the hard to find stuff. Most of the merchandise is pricey , I would suggest Amazon or gander mountain . Don't effect staff that are willing to go out of there way for you. I ask three gents around the ammo section some basic questions and they weren't thrilled to help and this was on a Tuesday afternoon with no one around. I asked an employee folding sweaters where I could find hats with a wide brim ( I usually try to find things myself and she rolled her eyes when I said excuse can I ask you a question. I then after seeing this said I'm really sorry to disturb you I only want to ask you one question, at this point I was getting sarcastic as I was really sick of the lack of service . She said the lights were in her eyes only because I caught her rolling her eyes. Gander mountain. Is a better option. There is one in Scranton PA. read more

Drove about an hour for a sale on a firearm that I wanted to pick up. Walked in, store is MASSIVE. Very impressed with the layout and the selection. Aside from the firearm that was being purchased, the prices are fairly equal to other competitors. With that said, my only complaint is the fact I arrived at 730, immediately made my selection and as I write this at 9:50 pm, still online waiting to check out my firearm. Background check was completed a while ago, and they only have 3 cashiers for a line of about 30 customers. I understand the wait and process to purchase a firearm, but I would have expected them to be more prepared, considering they saw the line get out of control, and it is indeed hunting season. Any other store I would have been out within a half hour of the background check. Finally swiping my card to pay at 10:25 pm, and am the last one out the door. read more

I made the drive out to Cabela's a week or so ago to pick up a pair of waders for work. I'm no hunter/fisherman so I felt a little weird and out of place. This place was pretty neat though. They have a huge "mountain" set up in the middle with a display of all sorts of animals. The amount of items Cabela's has is pretty nuts too. I also asked for help from one of the employees and he was extremely helpful and friendly. Employees were friendly throughout the store, from the moment I came in, to the moment I left. On the way out, I couldn't help it and got one of those packs of roasted almonds/cashews. They were delicious. I probably won't be returning here unless I need a new pair of waders, but I'm giving it a 4 cause it was a pretty cool experience and there are helpful, friendly employees here. read more

Come on, who doesn't like Cabela's? TREE HUGGIN' HIPPIE DIPPIES, THAT'S WHO!! I'm not a big hunter, but my husband is. However, I could spend hours wandering around looking at all the stuff they have. It's also great for people-watching. Where else can you see a family of 5 wearing matching camouflage and blaze orange outfits? There really should be a website called www.peopleofcabelas.com or something. It would rock. I bought my first gun the other day, we ended up getting a Ruger 10/22. Excited to go to the range and use it. NO, I didn't get a pink one. They were too small, otherwise I totally would have got a pink one. With matching pink earmuffs. Except the pink earmuffs were $70 and the regular ones were $20. Jerks. Not Cabelas, the company that makes the pink earmuffs and thinks I'm a big enough idiot to pay an additional $50 because the earmuffs are pink. Anyhow, Cabela's is a great way to waste a Sunday morning. You can even eat lunch in there and order some exotic food off the menu. Even if you're not into hunting/fishing/etc., you should still go and check it out. It's worth your time. Have fun! read more

Its not the same since Bass Pro took it over. No bargain cave. Camping section is reduced. Long underwear and gloves selections are not up to the old standards. The clothing by Cabelas just did not feel or look up to the older stuff. Bass Pro lost a customer. read more

That rifle game upstairs STOLE money from me. Coin return button did NOT work. If you can't even have an ethical model for games what makes you think the store cares about your other purchases? It's a fun tourist attraction but everything is overpriced. read more

This is specifically for the cafe, as I am not a sportsman. The staff is always more than helpful/pleasant. The prices are more than reasonable. And if you are really feeling daring, you can try some of the more exotic food (such as elk). The mac & cheese is terrific! Another favourite is the BLT wrap - so much thick, crisp bacon. *mmm* read more

More dead animals than you could shake a stick at. Like a zoo where nothing moves. They have an aquarium, as well as various displays of polar bears, deer, moose, raccoons and various other wilddeath. You can also get hunting gear, clothing, and just about anything with a camouflage pattern on it. Great aquarium, even has turtle in it. Camping department needs to be expanded poor product selection and geared for hunters not hikers. read more

Way overpriced on everything. Family friendly store, seen a lot of dogs inside too! Very cool

Always a good time and you can always find something to buy here, even if you don't "need" it, lol. I make at least an annual trip here if not biannual, mainly for clothing and camping gear. Lots of fun stuff to see, wide open space so even though there are hundreds of people there, you'd never really know it. Food here is actually pretty good too. I've had everything from bison to pulled pork on my visits and it's all been pretty good. It's easy to get too and not a far drive from anywhere in Bucks County. read more

My favorite store. What's not to like. It's like Walmart for rednecks. We love hunting and fishing and camping. This store has everything. Definitely love it. read more
