Cabela’s

Sports store with lots of merchandise. Ordered an item that they had on sale that was out of stock in the store. I got the item at the sales price and was able to apply for the rebate. The store appears to have items that are more expensive than Bass Pro Shops but good place to go for specialty items.

Wow I’m surprised at the 1 star reviews! I’m no hunter or fisherman, but you would have to agree, this place is impressive! When i walked in I stood beneath the Deer and Elks and took in the huge stone fireplace big enough for 10 people to stand upright inside of, and the fire inside was burning. Its November 8^th and they had a nice Christmas display in front of it, near the big overstuffed chairs in the lobby. Once you get past that you’ll see something for every serious outdoorsman/​woman. I saw Tents, sleeping bags, more fishing rods than I’ve ever seen in my life (like Jen N. said!), Toys for kids which were all Hunting/​Fishing/​Big-​Truck related, awesome clothes for Men, Women, and Kids, Hiking Boots, hats, gloves, Kayaks, full sized Boats, I’m sure I’m missing a ton of things besides the guns and ammo too. They even have a Café! Like Jean K. said, its the Disney World of the American Outdoorsman!
Oh and the Customer Service was great, there was no shortage of employees in the store who were willing to help answer questions and point me in the right direction. I found some nice clothes but they were on the pricey side. But you get what you pay for and the quality of the clothing was excellent. Name brands like Columbia, and Cabella’s own brand name, among others. I may not be back because I don’t hunt or fish, but if I did I’d totally dig this place.

Don’t waste your time! The men’s clothing department was a total dissapointment. Customer service was non existent. The employees were standing around talking with one another and not the customers. I was there for well over an hour and not one employee spoke with me or asked if I needed help. The café employees were downright hostile. My trip was a waste of time and gas, what a dissapointment!

This is not a shop I will frequent but it was someplace my Daddy wanted to go to so I will review honestly even if I won’t be coming back on my own. The store is HUGE. It’s like a mini mall for gun totin’, fishin’, huntin’ and campin’ folk. Lots and lots of taxidermy greet you when you walk in. There is nice fireplace and comfy seats for the spouses to sit and wait in. Then there are aisles and aisles of bullets, guns, knives and all sorts of deadly tools and toys. Some of the stuffed critters make realistic sounds that will curdle your blood. Can you tell I find them creepy? =(I got some cool jerky while I was there and my father restocked his ammo. He said that the prices were okay — not too expensive but not that cheap either. However, the choices were varied and plenty so he loved that. We went home with an ammo box too. He said that was a great price. The clothing were very pricey even in the clearance section. The store was clean and everyone that we came across was helpful and friendly. I enjoyed sampling the nuts they make fresh there. Again, this is not anyplace I would shop on my own but if you are the outdoorsy type it’s much better than Dick’s or Gander Mountain.

This is a fun place to walk around, pick up something you may want, and generally just a cool place to kill some time. However, when I went there on opening day, there was staff outside (supposedly cleaning) yelling (or talking so loud everyone within 50 feet could hear them) and joking/​complaining in a very unprofessional manner. They carried on like this for the entire time I was out there (over 30 minutes).
I will update this review after I have visited this location a few times, as I know it was opening weekend and there are always kinks to workout.

Finally able to make it out there. Was impressed by this area having a store of this caliber. However, was not pleased with high prices, mainly store brand products and they did not hire a wide range of knowledgeable employees. It seems they hired cashiers and placed them in a salesman position with no knowledge. Which is odd for this area which has plenty of people living the lifestyles they promote.

I have to admit, Cabela’s is not necessarily my kind of store. But, I’m all about unbiased opinions on reviews, so let’s start with the main attractions…
If you’re looking for any kind of fishing rod, this is the place to be. I swear they must have thousands!
If you’re looking for hunting gear, and by that I mean rifle, pistols, and camouflage, you’ll find all of your needs met by Cabela’s. I’ve never seen so many guns in all my life. They have aisles of ammo and huge gun safes. They even have a museum-​like room with antique rifles.
They have an amazing assortment of bows and arrows and an indoor archery range to test the products.
Yes, there is a section for your «at home butcher shop» with slicers and grinders. And, you can get your hunting and fishing licenses right there on the spot.
There is a nice section of camping gear, tents, and sleeping bags along with some really interesting and handy items.
They also have boats! Lots of fishing boats and a couple of pretty cool pontoon boats.
You’ll find outdoor apparel by Northface and Columbia as well as lots of hiking boots and hats.
The entry way is pretty dazzling. High ceilings with taxidermied animals… moose, mountain lion, billy goats, even a gator among many others. At the end of the hallway entry, there is a mountainside fountain and fish tank.
Upon entry, guns must be checked.
The staff members are incredibly friendly. (The man checking in the guns is a little gruff, but I imagine you would have to be.) Everything was clean and organized despite the tremendous inventory.
Even though most of the products are not for me, I did find a really great cotton pullover and hubby found a nice fitting pair of jeans at a great price.
This is definitely a haven for hunters, fishermen, campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

It is opening weekend for the Garner, NC store and since my wife and I have never been to or shopped at a Cabela’s, we decided to stop in. The store is huge so at 915 we are still looking in the back of the store and we turn around to an employee who says «we’re closed» in the rudest way. I mean a polite «hey thanks for coming out, but we’re closed now» would have sufficed. Safe to say this was the first and last time we will visit a Cabela’s.

Cabela’s opened the new Garner store today 4÷16÷2015 to the public! I’ve been to several Cabela’s around the U.S. and this one seems to be one of the smaller ones and the aisles seemed narrow. It could just be that opening day was mobbed but the other ones have a much larger open floor plan with a centralized «mountain» filled with different stuffed animals on display while this one has animals spread throughout. The firearms counter and selection seems small compared to Bass Pro or Field and Stream. Also note that firearms and ammo are priced kind of high so be sure to catch the sales! Very large selection of outdoor gear including camping, hunting, fishing, and even boats! Excellent outdoor store with lots of cool things to look at! They even have a café/​deli so you could spend an afternoon there! It’s Disneyland for adults!

Grand opening day at Cabela’s smelled of testosterone mixed with the aroma of freshly roasted nuts. Yes, Cabela’s sells freshly roasted nuts from a cart near the deli/​café which is right next to the archery department. It’s not just a store. It’s the Disney World of the hunter, boater, fisher, camper, and archer.
The 105k square-​foot showroom includes a mammoth display of taxidermy. There are more mounted animals at Cabela’s than summertime sees on Ted Turner’s ranch. Bears, sheep, alligators, you name it. Stuffed and posed, persuading you to buy ammo and camo.
And there is plenty of camo at Cabela’s. I saw more camo in my quick 30 minute sweep of the store than I have probably seen in my entire life. With all that camouflage, I’m surprised I even found my way through the store.
On grand opening day, the parking lot was full and shoppers were directed to an off-​site lot to take a shuttle to the store. I saw a long line of people waiting for the shuttle both on my way into the store and again on my way out. Police vehicles used several lot spaces as did a couple of small trailers for equipment demos. The only thing missing was Mickey with his big white gloves pointing to the entrance.
If you don’t have an outdoor hobby yet, just head over to Cabela’s, the epicenter of most things outdoors, and look around. If you’ve always wanted to go camping, just stop in, pick out your tent, sleeping bag, MREs, portable grill, grab a kayak, and off you go. You can even pick up a motorboat if that makes you happy. The next happiest day of your life may be the day you sell it but you may catch some fish in between. Cabela’s will sell you all the hooks, lines, and sinkers you could ever imagine.
