It's been a good long while since I have been in a Cabela's. I think it is safe to say that they have not changed a bit. Which is a good a thing, honestly. While much of their equipment they offer has a wide selection of the newest technologies, like fish radar or state of the art camping gear, they still have some of the most basics that one can just grab and get moving. They also had a jerky tasting table, which was pretty much the bane of my wallet's existence. read more

I have been browsing the Cabela's used firearms selection online and finally made the trip from Longmont to visit in person. Wow am I glad I did! Everyone I interacted with was SO nice and helpful and happy to talk about their niche firearms expertise. Today I learned about vintage muzzle loaders, shotguns, hunting rifle calibers, and recoil factors... and nobody was rude or condescending. The first guy I chatted with even helped me with my shooting stance and posture (admittedly terrible due to a disability), and asked each time if he could touch me to help with positioning. It was courteous, very helpful, and felt very respectful. 10000 stars for Lou! I was also very grateful to the rifle/hunting enthusiast who handles the buying (didn't catch his name) and brought so many rifles from storage for me to handle and decide on. I ended up trading a rifle that didn't fit me well for ... two. What can I say, hunting season is coming and I've been slacking! I interacted with at least 6 employees in the Gun Library throughout the interaction. I ended up having them set aside the rifle I wanted to buy, and I trekked home to retrieve the trade in rifle to save a bunch of $$ on taxes - great looking out by the staff! Despite being busy when I returned, they remembered me and had my rifle set aside. I had decided to buy a second one I'd been looking at and they pulled that one and its accessories for me as well. I dropped off my trade for them to look over, went browsing for a while and returned to do paperwork about a half hour later. It took probably another 30-45min to complete the trade in, purchase, and background check forms... yet another reason to buy multiple firearms in a single purchase - huge PITA! Important, of course, but it's time consuming. Cabela's of course has many other departments and I can't speak to those today, but I can very highly recommend the firearms section and the Gun Library in particular - they're one of the largest used firearm dealers in the BassPro family in the country and you can tell that with every interaction. Regarding value, there's so many factors in buying used that it's hard to give a helpful feedback. I am happy with the price of each purchase for their condition; one is new in box and was a good amount off retail. They offer discounts for law enforcement and active military (possibly also veterans?) and have occasional sales. read more

Went there on 1/3/26. Been here multiple times over the past years. Got a couple jackets and a couple water bottles. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Not really an outdoor person so I o may get limited things from them. But always a good price and last. Will be back! read more

I hate Cabelas now.... I shoppedhere before the bass pro purchase.... Now it is nothing but overpriced.... 45 mins in line to pick up powder??? Then another 25 minutes for you to track it down. Customer service doesn't have it... ammo doesn't have it..... drove 45 mins one way to take another 45 mins to track it down. Placed myself in the "gun" waiting list I was home before my number got pulled with 5 Cabelas staff and 2 other customers. Bravo..... absolutely pathetic. Go to SCHEELS. read more

My husband is a veteran, former law enforcement officer, and an employee of Cabela's. He has a diagnosed case of PTSD and utilizes a trained service dog as part of his treatment and daily functioning. Despite presenting themselves as a veteran-supportive company, Cabela's corporate HR denied his request to bring his service dog to work. The reasoning given was related to "heavy equipment," however his role is in a retail environment and does not involve working around such machinery. This service dog directly supports his ability to engage with customers and perform his job safely and effectively. Rather than exploring reasonable accommodations, he was told he could either transfer to a lower-paying, stationary role or continue without the service dog. Additionally, there have been concerning comments made by management regarding individuals who rely on PTSD service dogs, which raises further questions about workplace culture and understanding of invisible disabilities. This experience does not reflect the level of support for veterans that the company promotes publicly. I hope this is addressed appropriately so that other veterans do not face similar barriers. read more

Lots of parking and friendly staff. Got some sales on clothing. Huge fishing selection. What I didn't like was the pushy Marriott timeshare salesperson inside which made my shopping experience lame like I had to avoid the area they were canvassing and cut my shopping short. Imo it's a total negative that irritates people who are tired of aggressive timeshare salespeople. I saw other customers trying to brush them off as well. read more

Walked in and Aaron helped me out straight away and got what I needed And recommended me some stuff that could come In hand for my Order set everything for me and got me straight away Thank you Aaron. read more

Love Cabala's. Hate buying stuff there. I just like walking through. However I had bought a shirt at their San Antonio store that was way to small, and very simply returned it in Thornton CO. read more

Recently while living in N Colorado was wanting to get an E-bike and landed on an Ascend mountain bike. Went in to buy on a Sunday and while I always love Cabela's the service on this day was less than stellar. I had to wait for over an hour just to get help and unfortunately on my visit no one knew anything about bikes. Luckily for me I had done all my research and didn't need any help besides getting the bike for me. Wheeled the bike up myself and even loaded it myself. The value was great but outside of that this was a 100% self serve experience. Not what I am used to from my home store in Boise, Idaho. read more

Cabela's - My Cabela's purchase - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Great customer service! I went to the firearms department and they were super knowledgeable! I highly recommend Cabela's.

Said they had stuff online.. didn't have it in stock. Staff was too incompetent to look up other stores inventory. Lost a 3-400 dollar sale wasting 2 hours of my time read more

Just about always have what I want and more. Cabela's stores are always friendly and helpful, doing their best to make my shopping experience as wonderful as possible. read more

I called ahead to check firearm stock at Cabela's and spoke with a rude, condescending employee from the "gun library." Despite this, my group decided to visit the store to see their selection in person. However, we received no assistance while there. We left and went to Scheels instead, where we found everything we needed, purchased several firearms, and experienced excellent customer service. I recommend bypassing Cabela's and shopping at Scheels for a much better experience. read more

I went in to pick up a firearm and do a background check. I waited quite a while at the counter. Someone finally came out from the back room then helped someone who just walked up without asking who was next. I won't be picking up that firearm and I'll be shopping somewhere else for my guns and ammo. read more

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Pricing for handguns were WAY more competitive than local gun shops (by a lot). They have my business. read more

Quite an impressive establishment to explore with so many fake animals and even Santa! However, I didn't find their prices to be that great especially for hiking boots and women's winter outerwear. For example, I saw some Columbia and North Face items that I purchased at Sierra for more than twice the price I paid at Sierra. They did have some decent tunic style sweaters at a reasonable price as well as some good deals on casual boots but know your prices because not everything here is a great deal. Nice selection of flannels and fleece lined jeans for men. Limited selection of ski apparel, most of the stuff was for kids. read more

Cabela's - Woah first impression - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

This place is the best. Especially Jack in the fly fishing section. They were nothing but helpful

Cabela's does not know how to take care of a customer. They are great when I'm buying. They are awful on returns. Not easy, not friendly. They could learn a lot from Costco, Amazon, etc. I have spent thousands of dollars with Cabela's, and they gave me a hard time about a $10 dollar item that they said that is what I needed and in fact I didn't. Anyway, I'll never buy from them again. Cabela's says that's their store policy. I have a policy also; Companys that don't take care of me in a return or a problem with product issue, I avoid. read more

Nice store but this one doesn't carry as much selection as Bass Pro Shop. The ladies section seems smaller and my guy didn't find what he's seen at the other store for Buck knives. I know their owned by the same corporation but I can't help but compare the two. read more

Was shopping with my 10 year old grandson when I needed to use the restroom. A large woman in a grey shirt tells my grandson " you need to put that cart over there where it belongs". He was walking directly in front of me and is well behaved. "Give it to that man over there" I replied, " Evidently I'm done shopping?" "Yes" was her reply. I was there to buy a smoker. I have no clue what the issue was and left. I am not a thief. I am not shady. I am never entering your stores again. Card cancelled. Spreading the word. Rude is rude read more

Steve was helpful and knowledgeable when my daughter was looking for a recurve bow. We are seriously impressed and I highly recommend visiting this location for your needs if this is the type of employee you will get. My daughter visited two other stores in Arizona without any luck or help until we got Steve in Colorado when she was visiting home during winter break. Thanks Steve! Your help was invaluable. read more

The store itself is awesome. I went in today for the first time and they have a good selection of pretty much everything. There was a bunch of staff floating around except where we needed them which is my biggest concern and issue with our visit today. We went in to look at some guns and ammo. We walked around the counters and the gun library for about 20 minutes and none of the several employees greeted or offered any assistance. We kept browsing and noticed a QR code to scan in order to join a queue to be assisted. We added ourselves to that and proceeded to wait another 30 minutes without anyone calling our name or asking if we needed help despite the online queue saying we were coming up and to stick around the gun counter. We ended up leaving after waiting for about an hour all together which was a huge bummer because there were several handguns we were interested in. read more

Such a downhill run for this company. Went to get a fly pole travel tube. The section was basically empty unless you wanted 200 dollar zip case. They were also completely out of 4x leaders. Don't spend your money here. read more

Cabela's - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

This review is on the cafe. When you have a total of two customers in your cafe and one has already ordered, take care of your second customer. Don't keep him waiting while you go on and on about how good the chicken chili is because I guarantee you, I don't care. After being on the road all day, we went into the store to stretch our legs and look at toys that we don't need. We were greeted several times with good eye contact and smiles. At the end of our excursion, we thought, let's get a fountain drink and sit for a few minutes. Nope, the clerk let me stand there without even eye contact to acknowledge my presence while he waxed poetic about his chili. Geez, I hope I can find another place to rest and grab a drink! read more

Came in here last week to buy a new hunting rifle. Service was fast and friendly. Good computers for the background check. Very precise on making sure everything was good to go. Sadly they were out of ammo but that's to be expected these days. read more

Cabela's - New hunting rifle with bipod stand from Cabela's. - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Went to Cabela's to look at a Rifle that I had found online. Got there about 4:50 today. I stood in the back by the guns and waited Patiently till 5:25 pm.. Many other people came and got served before me. I watch as 5 more people come in all around. I then see Michael asking if he could help a couple guys.. I nicely interupted and mentioned that I had already been here waiting for 35 minutes before anyone else. Micheal very sturnly said Sir you need to check in on the tablet. I asked where it was and that I'm sorry I didn't walk in from that Isle so I didn't see it. He could of nicely said oh no problem we will get you next. No he took pride in blowing me off. Well I went over to put my name on the tablet and the tablet was in some messed up brower screen.. looked like someone before me exited whatever operating system they use. So I walked back over and said to Michael Oh the pad is not working. He was 3 feet away but kept looking away from me at the guns.. I said Sir.. he still ignored me. I went louder, Sir, SIR excuse me.. sir then once he couldn't pretend any more I said the check in pad it not working, it is in some browser screen, so I can't check even check in now. What does he say, OH when we get a chance we will check on the pad. So effectively where am I, in no man's land, over 35 minutes with nothing accomplished in my journey to simply get helped... He hasn't said he will help me or anyone else.. just left me with he's not going to help and he will fix the pad someday. ANYWAY.. I have never seen such a rude guy! I came in happy at the end of the day. Also after Michael said for me to check in on the pad.. only then did I start hearing names called out by another register. IF in the beginning I would have heard a name I would of known to go looking for a pull tab or number system etc... Anyone could of said OH sir sorry, I'll make sure someone gets to you next, thanks for being patient. The only person that noticed how long I was waiting was Addeson (Not sure on the spelling) and he was saying he would get me eventually when he was done. A nice polite, smiley guy... I wish he would of just say to his co workers hey this guy has been here longer than any of the new 5 customers that have been helped after me.. JUST disgusted!!!! DONE.. I did go to the front on the way out and spoke with a manager, he apologized.. he was polite. I told him I was waiting 35 minutes.. but didn't realize it was a lot longer.. I spoke with him at 5:48 pm and left. But the treatment back at the gun dept, there is no excuse for it. Any of the reps could see I had been there longer then anyone that just walked in. When I walked out, I said Micheal thank you for the courteous service. He mumbled something that he was still right.. I said you could of said oh sorry sir, I will get someone to help you next..anything.. or the pad game... He could of said OH the pad's not working, we will get to you next.. NO just a jerk to the end - Don't know what happened to you in life Micheal.. but don't bring it to work. I'm a nice guy, went out for a nice shopping experience.. Just crapped on. Micheal I hope someone treats you like this.. karma. read more

Exchange return policy is not good. Quality of products are sub par for the prices charged. Scheels has a much better return-exchange policy. The prices are slightly higher for a more quality product. Some staff seem disenfranchised after the sale to bass pro. I'm basically done here. read more

Cabellas dishonest bait and switch merchandise signs Let me preface this review with, I think the quality of the merchandise and the sales staff at Cabella's in Thorton, Colorado is very good. My issue is with the management about the dishonesty of the signs above the merchandise racks. Bottom line is, what they charge at the register is not what the signs they have over the merchandise say. I was charged $29.99 each for 2 shirts and the Large sign over the display said $24.99. When I pointed this out to the sales clerk she said she would happily get a manager to correct this. Karen the manager said that they charged more for larger sizes as it said on the sign. But the sign clearly said they only charged more for sizes 3xl and larger. Yet my purchase was for a 2xlt and Karen still refused to correct it. She said that corporate sends them the signs, like that excuses the bait and switch pricing. Karen refused to correct the discrepancy back to the stated signage. I would have happily paid the $29.99 price had it said so on the sign but I HATE bait and switch scams. I'm sad to say I will not shop or buy gift cards at Cabella's again. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General. If you have this problem please do the same. This is the only way dishonest business practices will get changed. read more

Recently I made order from Cabela's, Thornton, CO. I was mostly dealing with gentleman whose name is Ethan but also with others. They were supposed to send me my merchandise to a local local store for a pickup. In a week I grew a little bit impatient so I called back. Cabela's employee's were friendly and promised to research my order. In a few minutes they got back to me and told me that my order was already delivered. I called the local store and my merchandise was indeed there, people from the local store just did not let me know. Excellent service Cabela's, I would buy again. read more

They will attempt to ID your child if you bring them in with you while purchasing items that require ID

They are not very helpful when you call them and seem to be bothered by simple questions. I am obviously interested in buying a gun, but all the want to do is get you off of the phone rather than answer questions. read more

I have been here over the years several times and the place is just great to visit. The staff go out of their way to help you get a good deal and when Cabela's makes a mistake the own up to it then make it right. That happened to me in which they ate the cost on a certain situation. I try to get by here ever once and a while, but you should stop on by too. read more

Good store . Lots of good products but the place makes me feel like a number and not a human being they value. Plus, nothing is over-the-top excellent. But the biggest reason, I do not shop there is that lots of overt Trumpsters drive in on their trucks, take up two parking spaces, and I have seen these disgraceful monsters, who have no good about them whatsoever, pick fights in the parking lot like the insurrectionists who invaded our nation' capitol. So I do not feel safe there because they do not control these savage customers who are ruining America. read more

What a joke! An absolute crap company through and through. All flash and glam for "experience" at the store, but their prices are subsequently that of gouging. Obviously to pay for all their advertising and stupid excessive store presentation. What is so terrible about Cabela's? Specifically their gun culture in their super corporate setup. It is disgusting and draconian, on par with the worst Leftist governments. They wouldn't check my bore after I checked in the rifle because my state issued ID was updated online with my new address. So I then provided my TAX STAMP illustrating my actual address. First of all, they don't need my ID to examine my rifle. Second, they treat all things gun with kid gloves and act like everyone is a potential threat. IF I'M BRINGING MY RIFLE UNLOADED IN A CASE WITH NO AMMO, CLEARLY I'M NOT A THREAT!! Also, their gun purchasing methodology is so over the top, scared of the government, excessive ordeal. I would never, even if it was the last rifle on earth, buy from Cabela's. Will NEVER do business again with this crap company, and I spend A TON on guns a year for a middle class family man. In fact, this past year I spent over 10k on rifles, optics, gear, and ammo. I sincerely urge everyone to shop at other merchants such as Sportsman's Warehouse (where I walked in, checked gun with service, and as it was unloaded, they just let me take it back in the case, myself, to the firearm personnel.) no ID check, no unneccesary restriction, nothing! Thank you! That is a real sports enthusiast company right there, unlike lame Cabelas read more

Jack in the fishing department is AMAZING! We specifically came to Cabelas for fly fishing gear due to a previous experience with Jack & how great he was. My husband just got into fly fishing & Jack got him completely set up & even showed us the right way to tie the line. Jack was Super knowledgeable about each item and overall just great with customers. Totally recommend this place & Jack! read more

This place is trash. I wanted to buy a new Glock and my parents , both just got their ccw last week; wanted a new handgun. Got there, old guy at the gun counter told us it would be a few minutes and had us check in via their app. After 45 min of waiting and 2 clerks doing Jack but walking around we left. In that 45 min time I saw two other people walk in and got help immediately. It's cool, I usually buy all my firearms from local gun shops but my dad had a 100$ gift card to cabela so I figured we can save 100$. So not worth it, mofo's wasted my time. Tomorrow morning , my family will gladly take our business to a local shop. read more

We had to kill some time. We stopped here. Great prices and I always leave with new clothes!! Clean and staff is super friendly.

Nice store but dumb policies. I found an airsoft gun for my son and decided to look up reviews for it on Amazon. While reading reviews I noticed it was 40% cheaper on Amazon. Same product same manufacturer's sku. Amazon Prime with 2 day delivery. I took it to the front desk asked if they would price match and they wold not price match Amazon didn't even look at the price. So we left the product at the front desk and left and I ordered it in the way to my car. Places like this will not survive unless they even attempt to compete with Amazon. read more

Cabela's overall has a great selection in firearms, hence the reason for the two stars. I will definitely explain why they're deserving of the stars... We've actually purchased 3 weapons from Cabela's over the last year, two of which within the last few months. Every time we come to this place we have to wait FOREVER for service. Even if there isn't very many customers. We don't get greeted, EVER, and have to actually hound someone down so I can make a purchase. Why do I go back you ask? To avoid driving across the city to Gander or Bass Pro. The most recent experience: stopped in to purchase some ammo for the range. Not busy at all, but once again, no greet/no service. The employees actually looked at me as if I was crazy for NOT wearing camouflage clothing. Maybe it's because I bathe and don't speak with a southern accent. Or it could've been that I wasn't chewing tobacco, but I'm not quite sure. I can honestly say that today was the final straw and we won't be coming back to spend our hard earned dollars. It seems as if Cabela's caters to one type of people, and I'm obviously not it. Sorry, not sorry Cabela's... read more
