If you're a sports fan and need a team hat Lids is a great store to shop at. Tons of hats of all types and designs. They also carry a variety of shirts and other sports related items. Clean, organized, nice staff. They were carrying some Knicks championship gear here on Sunday. Go Knicks Go! read more

Came here looking for a classic NY Yankees caps that would fit my head perfectly. Adjustable snap.back caps just aren't deep enough for my big head. Found it here. The staff were super helpful and were quick to even customize my lettering on my cap within the hour. It made the perfect souvenir for NYC. I didn't want to take off my cap, wearing it everywhere. Note: The largest cap size is an 8 the next size down 7 7/8, 7 3/4, 7 5/8, 7 1/2.... read more

Don't come here unless you have nothing better to do. They have 5 people working at the store but all they do is stand there and do nothing. It's busy store but they only have 1 register. On top of that they do custom embroidery at the store but the people have no idea what they are doing. I waited there for 20 minutes before I gave up and left. When I left the employee was still asking for help because he kept charging the wrong amount. Everyone who works here are slow and incompetent read more

I accidentally purchased the bucket bermuda Kangol instead of the casual bermuda bucket which was worn in 80s. My transaction was done online. It was stated to me that I could return the items, but would not receive a refund, or exchange. Their option for me was to send it back and donate to a charity of my choice. Hello...what about just exchanging them for the right style which you have in stock. This is one of my worst experiences with any company. I was flabbergasted. Do business with this company (online) at your own risk! read more

Service was incredible. I went to get a cap and the staff was very helpful "Shena" and (the guy that helped me out getting the size of the cap I needed it) were so helpful and and friendly. Location was super clean, and products quality mmm Well you know everything is original. Thanks guys. read more

I'm really happy about making this choice to go to the store the store was super nice and was greeted when I walked in and was able to get custom hats for me and my kids which we all love! Alex was the person that helped us, super helpful and knowledgeable thank you so much! read more

Staff was great and service exceptional. We stay near by and every year we come to NYC we leave with many hats from Lids. Each time their staff makes it a pleasant experience and patient with my 11 year old who is indecisive. Plan to come back to this location each year! read more

All of the employees were absolutely phenomenal. Try customized my brand new Mets Hat with a Queens Logo in Orange. Nice. I grew up in Flushing. I highly recommend this Lids location. Great job guys read more

Legit, I hate this place. My first time there to get a hat for my kid because he outgrew his old one. Staff member was talking amounts themselves. Great way to ignore people that have a question. I asked for kids hats and what the next size up, dude just mumbled and we right back to talking to the other workers. If I knew where it was, I wouldn't ask. He would be out of a job. Avoid this place. read more

It feels like an understatement to say that Lids specializes in caps. They have dozens and dozens (okay, maybe hundreds) of different caps spread across different sports teams and even pop culture media. Sure you can easily get yourself the cap of your favorite baseball team, but you can *also* grab yourself a cap with Pikachu or Iron Man on it! The even sell small back packs especially designed to protect your cap. Tucked away between some larger store fronts/restaurants, this location is a tad smaller than some of the other ones I have seen before but it is still a good size. When I went there were about five or six other people shopping around and we never got in each other's way. The cashier at the store was very nice. The customer in front of us was piling on quite a collection of caps, but when she saw we only had one item she took us first even though she had started ringing up the other person already. Sure it's in a "touristy" area, but if you're a big fan of caps this is the place to visit! read more

This is an appreciation post specifically for HALIM!! I had a very specific custom ask and Halim was immediately on board with making it happen. His service was definitely 5-Star worthy (and I've had reeeeally mixed results at Lids). Took off one star for the store bc they didn't have the color hat I wanted (but we found a suitable replacement). THANKS, HALIM! (Aside to Halim's bosses: give him a raise) read more

Bought a Brooklyn Dodger hat here and paid cash. One of the cashier gave me an incorrect amount of change. I asked for a receipt before and he said it's only email. My phone was dead at that moment. I found out later that he gave me a change of $1.01 but it was supposed to be $7.01. I'm already gone from the area but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Even though they didn't have the item that I needed, I would still go back there because the customer serviceis impeccable! !

Needed a couple of hats. Place was not too crowded and had some reasonable option. Staff were friendly and you do have the options to customize your hat for those interested in it. read more

I am a Sailor visiting for NY Fleet Week. The female manager was extremely rude, zero customer service. Almost walked out of store after simply asking her a question about the hats. Got helped from different employee, but had to return to her to check out. read more

Came here to buy a SnapBack recently before attending the Miami Heat/Brooklyn Nets game...one thing I don't like about Lids, they rarely ever have the same selection as they do on their website. What I do like about Lids is that with the discount card you can get what you came to purchase for a very decent price. SnapBack was originally $29.99 and was reduced to $23...I didn't get the SnapBack that I originally came for but still left with something decent and for $23, I can't really complain that much. read more

The service here is ALWAYS horrible!!!!! You really have to know what u want before u get there like someone else said because the staff there is not willing to help you. If you ask for help they act like you're bothering them although they're doing absolutely NOTHING at the moment but talking and standing around. Horrible!!! read more

If you like sports caps, this is the place. Buy one, get second 1/2 off. You can get your cap personalized as well. The brims are straight here. Small store, can get crowded, but friendly staff ease the pain of cramped quarters. read more

If you like your cap brims straight, then this is a great place for you. I on the other hand, do not, and because of such, am limited to approximately 2% of the stores inventory. I guess I'll go to Modells and keep my fingers crossed. read more

We are in the city on vacation and after a sale, she left her phone on the counter. 30 minutes later she realized. I ran back down there. They held it. The manager required that I put the unlock code which I thought was awesome. Thanks to the honest people at that store. read more

Great selection but disorganized service. Zero communication with regards to embroidery times. If you know that embroidery is a big sell, why not invest in additional machines, ensure that both existing machines work, and have dedicated staff. I love buying hats here because of the sheer selection, but service has dipped big-time this summer. It's a shame - some of the staff are helpful and work hard whilst others have no interest in lending a helping hand. Have been waiting seemingly forever to get just one hat embroidered. If I knew it would have taken this long, I would have just returned to pick it up later. read more

Good hat store. They have tons of hats and the custom work is what i was most interested in. If you have a membership ($10 a year?) you get %10 off of everything in the store and %20 off all custom work ... Totally worth it. I have bought several hats from here since I started working in Times Square and I will continue to buy hats from here as long as they stay open and fully stocked. great place to get hats read more

Great Service Lids thank you for my daughters custom Elsa Anna hat. On video at: https://youtu.be/8c8E9NAfmE0 read more

Shit hole. Called to get embroidered hat and when I arrived. They didn't have the book available to choose the images.

This place would qualify as a joke, if only it were funny. I walked in and ordered a custom "lid" one day. I paid up front and was told the hat would be ready in a few weeks. I checked back a few weeks later, no hat. No record of it. No one who cared about it. Went in a week later only to be dismissed as a moron because I didn't have my original receipt. I guess they don't actually fulfill orders, they just take em and run. read more

RUDE SERVICE! Specifically, PORTIA! It's was raining outside and they asked us to leave "respectfully" coz we are messing up their counter coz we were standing by the door. This was after we bought some merchandise. We get it that we stayed for a good 30mins coz it was raining, but lady, we have a toddler with us! And one of us was on the phone on an important call and it's hard to talk over the phone outside. Can't you guys wait?! Wth's wrong with that?! Definitely not coming back!! read more

If you know what you are looking for and you know your size then this is the place. But if you just looking around don't expect any helps from the employee. Thy were rude and ignorant. This store has complete collection tho. read more

Store is ok, they have a good selection but the staff is terrible. They are more interested in goofing off and being loud and annoying instead of working. read more

The employees were super chill and played bomb music. They helped us with the hats too high to grab, joked with us and made the environment feel more like homies hanging out instead of customer / seller relationship, weren't annoyed with all the help I needed cause I'm short or the fact that I chose so long to decide between 2 hats. Would definitely come back to grab another hat. read more

Small location but well situated on 42nd near Times Square. They have a very good selection of local teams. If you're a fan of sports hats, I'd highly recommend the Lid's Club - it's well worth the annual fee and pays for itself in no-time. read more

Why are the staff so rude here? It is like some very unfunny joke...Wont be going here again.

These guys are great. The selection is varied and they have a decent amount of backstop. There are always a handful of managers around - I had to go in on three separate occasions for a large special order. I left completely satisfied with the experience and would go back anytime. read more

Good place to grab an LA Dodgers hat when you're in NYC and Times Square to show the local New Yorkers that LA is way better than NYC! I thought that it would actually piss off New Yorkers a little more to wear LA stuff in their town, but they mostly just hate people from Boston and rightfully so. For $30 I scored my Dodgers hat and I almost went ahead and grabbed a TX Rangers hat to sport when I'm in LA, but I didn't see spending $60 on hats for a sport I really don't even follow that closely. It's more just to represent your hood. But this place was cool...as cool as a chain hat store can be and the staff got me in and out quickly. I'm actually sporting my LA hat as I write this review. On a side note...I prefer flex fit hats to actual fitted ones...they're just a little more comfortable. Check this place out if you need a hat to let the New Yorkers know where you're really from during your stay in NYC! read more

Just because you no longer live near a mall doesn't mean you cant get that mall experience. Come into this store where the sales associates will ignore you while they laugh loudly at each other, gossip about their coworkers and pop their gum. read more

My family and I visited this Times Square location and we were pleasantly pleased. The guys at this location were so cool and friendly and extremely helpful. There are so many hats to choose from. My 7 year old nephew and my 5 year old niece picked really cute hat sets which was very much needed for in the New York air. My son decided on getting a personalized hat and the guys were the best in helping. Will definitely visit again. read more

big big big selection and the staff let me try on as many hats as i wanted without fuss. i loved the buy one get one deal too. i ended up leaving with three hats after and hour of trying on different styles. read more

this is one of my favorite lids store locations to go to. It's well kept and the staff is very friendly and helpful, not to mention they have a pretty large array of hats from different sports teams. it's cool that they have an embroidery machine if one wants to customize a hat. if you haven't been here yet and you like hats (I love hats and wearing fitted ny yankee hats) then I suggest you come one down and check it out sometime read more

I went to this lids, knowing they are the only game in town that claims to have the hats of every team in every major sports league. I am a huge fan of the Jets, Seahawks, Knicks, Mets, Isles and San Jose Sharks, so I was excited to walk in and buy team hats from my teams out west cheaper and quicker than online. Unfortunately, my experience was very lack luster. At first, I looked for the San Jose Sharks hat and did not see one on their selves. I assumed that it must be in the back since its not a very popular team on the east coast? So I go to the counter and ask for help. Was told by a worker to hold on, she asks this guy who was already doing embroidery and could've hurt himself because she screamed at him to come over and help me . He came over and was pretty polite and respectfully, but as he looked for it explained that the NHL is not popular around here and they ran out of stock on the item ?. You stated that the league isn't popular but proceed to tell me a relatively unknown team is sold out ?. So I just say ok, can I get a Seattle Seahawks SnapBack? Since they won the Super Bowl they must have it right?. No, the guy says sorry we only have it in fitted. I say sure ill take a large. Sorry out I them only have extra large.... I go down the street to the other lids and get both.... read more
