Our guy walked over and asked if we needed help. We were looking for lady's boots in the men's section. He told us to go look in the ladies section. After a while we found some great boots for my daughter. I wanted a nice hat but didn't know how to find them it. We got to deal with the most Texas man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He took me to the hat section, helped me find what I would call an incredible lifetime hat. He helped me fit and find a quality hat at my value! He also completely shaped the hat to my liking. Fitting it to what I would consider a perfect hat. I am terrible with names so I can't remember his but if you walk into this store he's the large quiet cowboy that is Texas! Pleasure talking to you and I feel blessed to have been served by you. Bought a bunch of stuff cause it was awesome! Much love from California! If ever in the area we will visit again!

I live an hour away and occasionally stop by this shop when I'm in Beaumont. I've never had a bad…read moreexperience until yesterday. The lady that works the front tried to accuse me of not paying for some books literally less than a minute after paying her. Never stole anything in my life and spent quite a bit of my hard earned money on comics and citadel paints from here over the years. Being treated like a thief in front of other customers and lack of apology just doesn't sit well with me. Definitely not going back!

I continuously return to this store and experience a fantastic time every time I go. The store is…read morealways clean, well stocked with hundreds of hidden gems, RPG books, models, and boardgames that are out of print and very hard to find. They have some of the best stock in the state and the friendliest attitudes of any game/comic hobby shop in Texas. I have a very good friend who was affected by the recent flooding in East Texas and he recount this story to me: "Friday night I went to Book Stan, no big deal now since I am staying in Beaumont/Nederland for the moment. Miss Beverly knew I had lost 99% of my books and cards and some of my miniatures had been stepped on because they floated around the house. And the Friday before she told me to stick around and offered me a discount on the books I felt like replacing....being soft hearted as I am I cried and she gave me a hug and told me she was going to help me. I came in Friday and looked on the new stuff shelf like I always do, and when I got to the counter, I started to ask her for 2 of the books I had set aside to buy. She said I got 2 problems, first the discount I told you last week, Terry said it wasn't good enough and doubled it. And second I talked to Games-Workshop and they have given you money to help replace your books and the miniatures you lost....." I hear stories like this from all of my friends that go to Book Stan, its a fantastic hidden gem of nerdery in East Texas, the only problem I have is its so far away that I can't make it a daily trip.

The owners are a sweet, older couple. I have taken several watches in to replace batteries and even…read morejewelry to have rhinestones replaced. They are always very sweet and efficient. I usually don't have to wait any longer than 5-15 minutes. Their fees are remarkably low. They could probably charge a lot more. They do a service that is lost in our day and age. Great place to support locally.

(I visited on a Saturday around 7:55 pm and they close at 9 pm). Upon entering, the place smelled heavily of incense and a mix of weed. Just too much weed paraphernalia for me and not a lot of records. And for some reason I couldn't locate the A-N rock section?!? Service. I think I surprised the guy behind the counter. It was really quiet, but then he put on some video (like a black and white football critique??). Too bad. This place looked really cool back in its inception.

To start off with the positives - the store has an invigorating appearance on the inside and the…read morerecords I viewed seemed to be in good condition, and priced fairly. The foremost issue is the selection. Out of hundreds (possibly thousands), of records to choose from, there's hardly any mainstream or popular choices. I ended up leaving with Paul Simon's self titled album, and it played wonderfully when I brought it home. But as previously stated, the inventory is lacking when it comes to essential records that most people would be interested in, and I settled with the familiar Paul Simon.

She was so friendly and so helpful when I needed help finding certain titles. This is a great bookstore and even though we were just passing through town to head back home from an anniversary trip in NOLA, we will be sure to stop in every time we pass this way.

Meanwhile there was a western union form from another customer sitting on the counter right in front of me which included very detailed information about a client, full name, dob, I'd number, address, etc. After the 15 minute wait the lady finally turns around and says how can I help you. I tell her I am there to send a western union and she says "we stop that at 6" it's now 6:11pm. I ask her when do they close she says 7. She was extremely rude and unapologetic even though I had been standing there since before 6. I feel that if you are open, you should be open and provide all services. People making blank trips is frustrating enough and then met with this attitude is over the top. Also customer information should not be left on display!

The building is a bit run down, however that's part of the experience. Their prices are fair and they offer a great amount of local food, mainly honey! I only stopped here on my trip because I was looking for places with dry ice for my cooler and these folks had it! I ended up buying some more road snacks because they were a heck of a lot cheaper than Kroger! I'd go here again because of the great customer service, classic style feel, and the local selection offered here.

I have to admit that I was a little more than apprehensive about stopping in this town to check out…read morea game and comic book store, the area has a history.. Yet, what I found at the Lyons Den was anything but what the stereotype of a town darkened by past events. The Lyons Den was a friendly, welcoming haven for gamers, geeks, nerds of all walks of life. The store was well stocked with product and I'd arrived on a 'Free Comic Book Day' event where a lot of the stores regulars dressed up as their favorite iconic super hero or villain. There were smiles and laughter from everyone around and I was welcomed. They had guest artists in attendance for the event signing autographs and doing one of a kind art upon request. Later they had an intense and well attended Magic The Gathering tournament and are even listed on the national rolls. They make ample use of the space in the store with product from floor to ceiling and covering a wide arrange of mainstream and independent comics as well as games, cups, shirts, banks, hoodies, hats and almost anything you can think of. They're linked to several distributors so if there is an item you've been looking for, then they can order it for you. The Lyons Den seemed like an awesome place to chill and have a good time for anyone and everyone. Its made me happy to know there is a small island in the midst of the area's history and to know that everyone is welcome. The visit here was due to looking for a potential out of print item and sometimes smaller game stores tucked away in small towns can hide surprising treasure for a gamer like myself. This trip was well worth it for the experience alone.
