Cabela’s

Helpful staff with product expertise. Can be busy at rush hours but smoke perking and a very clean store. Clean restrooms, comprehensive selections in most categories. I needed some Father’s Day gifts and the new leather man bracelet looked great in catalog, but we were unsure how it might fit etc. Kelly in watches and in the mall side of the large store, totally made my purchases easy and educated me in the unique new item ! Thanks!

I think this is one of the stores that you check out and just have to see for yourself. It’s a very interesting place, almost like a mini museum with all the taxidermied animals that they have all over the place and other cool artifacts.
I think it’s safe to say that you have to be a specific kind of customer or at least looking for something specific to even step foot in here. This store is very outdoorsy but more on the area or field of hunting, fishing and shooting which caters to a certain kind of demographic. All the stuff they sell of which I have bought so far are very quality and were purchased at a very good price, it doesn’t hurt that they have a 10% military discount as well. The hubby and I buy our shooting stuff here and let me tell you they have the best deals on ammunition and sometimes on accessories too. The staff at the gun counters and the whole store in general are always so friendly and despite being busy they always take their time to help and answer questions in detail.
Other than that I think it’s really fun to check out the general store in the back with all the interesting food items, there are definitely some good and delicious finds over there. Also, don’t miss out if they are roasting nuts in the front or outside, those things are insanely delicious!

I’ve been to this Cabela’s several times, but my first experience a couple months back was the best (not that the others have been bad). I came in for the first time with my boyfriend while he was buying a new handgun. Although he has guns, etc., I had never shot or even held a gun before. While he was looking at guns, the salesman (wish I remembered his name!!) asked if this was a gun for me, and I said not really as I had never shot a gun before. We struck up this whole conversation about learning to shoot, guns for beginners, etc. He recommended a beginners class just for women at Ultimate Defense (see my separate review for this!). Even though I made it clear I wasn’t buying anything, he took out a few guns for me to see and get a feel for. I really appreciated his advice and interest.
All other experiences here have been pleasant as well. There are always employees walking around, and they are always helpful with any questions or directions to what I’m looking for!

One of my favorite places to go. Just a wonderland for the outdoorsman! Plenty of stuff for camping, fishing, hunting, shooting, clothing, and anything for outdoors. Been here many times and the store is always clean and packed. Staff is friendly and helpful. Easy to find whatever your looking for.

Shopping here feels like you are at the department of revenue getting your plates renewed. So slow and uncaring. I picked out guns to buy after picking a number and waiting for help. That wasn’t too long but then I went to get cleared to purchase and only one person was working. This was on a Wednesday afternoon at 2:00. Why was there only one person but 6 stations? I waited 40 minutes to pay. I will never shop here again.

If you order online and have the item shipped to the store be prepared to wait in line at the store. You’d think with all of the employees standing around they could speed up the process and have a specific line just for this or if anything– have employees from other departments come and help.
I went there before my hockey game down the mall at the IceZone– would have missed most of it if I would have stayed just to get my 1 item. This process shouldn’t take any longer than 10 minutes.
Called customer service– they’d ship the item free directly to my house but it would have taken 2 more weeks. Apparently they have to ship the item back to the distribution center and then to your house.

I love this place and have been here often as of late.
Every time I need ammo or a Magazine I go here. They have really great prices and a great selection. I have been in many times and the service I get is awesome, they even have a guy that in the ammo isles making sure you find exactly what you need.
The people at the Gun counter are very informative and take their time making sure you have all the info you need on the firearm you are looking at purchasing.
There selection of clothing and boots is impressive.
My kiddos love the animals and fish and literally beg to see them. Its a blast every time.
Now if only they and everyone else could get bulk boxes of 22LR ammo back in stock on the regular.

It’s hit and miss, depending on what you want.
It’s not a huge Cabela’s, so the section isn’t great, and there’s no bargain cave. The gun counter doesn’t have a lot of offer, either. Many things that are listed for sale online won’t be at this Cabela’s in store. In some departments (like the shoe department) they employ teenage girls who don’t know a thing about hiking shoes. When I go in to buy a $ 150 pair of hiking boots I need someone that actually knows a thing or two about hiking boots to guide me.
On the other hand, I’ve got incredible discounts here… You just have to ask. They’ll match any sale online (even if it’s clearance online and NOT on sale in the store) and work with you to get the lowest price. If they’re offering the $ 100/​$ 25 off coupons, they’ll let you split your bill.

Cabelas is perfect for hunters, gun nuts, camo fetishists and deer-​sausage-​makers. That said, they are too proud of their mostly made-​in-​China inventory.
My wife bought a pair of Clarks boots — $ 284, ridiculously, then found identical boots at the mall for substantially less. When the mall is cutting under your prices, you know you’re asking too much. Especially for made-​in-​China. Wholesale was probably fifty cents. Nuts.
Maybe my mandatory trip to take the boots back colors my review — but if the boot fits.,

This is a super impressive place to go if you need anything that involves the outdoors or even cooking most types of food. Their hunting and fishing sections are top notch and there are tons of things to buy and look at. If you spend an hour there you wont see it all. If I’m in the market for clothes, hunting or fishing supplies this is the first place that I go to because of the selection and quality of what you get for your money. The only bad thing that I have found for this place is that if you don’t watch it you will spend tons of money there because of all the stuff that’s available. Great place always recommend and will continue to shop there often

An avid outdoorsman (well, WOman) I frequent here with my better half quite often.
We were just here last night, then jumped over to Chevys for one of thos Rock N’Ritas I was telling ya’ll about… Anyways, back to Cabelas… I have been here for hunting clothes, atv goggles, shoes, clothes, christmas shopping, you name it, I’ve shopped for it here… I LOVE Cabelas. not to mention, its kid friendly with all the stuffed animals. errrrr dead animals they have on showcase… they’ve also expanded with newly added dead décor, and i, myself even enjoy looking around the museum. seriously, what a cool place to shop!!! and as Kate mentioned, the fudge. YUMM-​O. and they also have the BEST peach salsa!!! fo reals… check it out… even if you dont hunt, fish, camp, whatever… theres plenty of other good finds at Cabelas.

This is a very nice, clean sports store. You can get hiking shoes here.

Cabale’s is great. The staff is always friendly and the shelves are always so full of fun things.
It’s got an edge over Bass Pro, since Bass Pro has been sucking in recent years. The only problem with Cabela’s is they are sometimes too busy for comfort. When that happens I have to bail out and escape until a mid week day during school hours. Haha!

Legit huge place to shop. All kinds of outdoorsie items can be had here. Sean H. and I came one night to check out some guns. It was there, that I fell in love with the Ed Brown 1911 and then became subsequently depressed that I didn’t have an extra $ 3,000something just lying around to spend on a gun! Ffff!
The staff was helpful and friendly, no complaints there.
We also checked out their «General Store» in the far back of the actual store. A store within a store… weird, huh? STORECEPTION. Or something. I saw they had a variety of food-​stuffs such as venison jerky (mmm), candy, relish spreads, mustard dips, and of course fudge! I got a piece of the plain choco fudge to go and I moaned as I ate it later. Unffff. Most people seem surprised when I tell them that Cabela’s sells fudge and that it is also freakin’ awesome. So yeah, if you aren’t the regular «clientele» of Cabela’s and you find yourself in this huge store doing shopping for a friend or s.o. or something, go get some fudge!
And have fun looking at all the taxidermy stuffed animals, hehehe. I was surprised that they actually had info for some of them, so it was sort of like going to a mini museum… of dead, stuffed critters. Bwhahaha.

I’m probably the opposite of their target audience, but I can pretty much shop anywhere and this proves it. I’ve shopped here several times now and once you get past the. uhh. targeted atmosphere of the place you can find some good stuff!
I think they have a better selection of women’s North Face apparel than the actual North Face store! My other favorite areas were the dog department — nice quality beds and toys there — and the food section. YUM, love the roasted nuts and they have some really cool dips/​jars/​pickled items. They always have samples too. and freshly made fudge.

If you love anything outdoors, this is a great place to go.
I recently came here to purchase many items for an upcoming ski trip. I was able to easily find the women’s clothing but the men’s clothing already sold out. The staff was great in helping me find the clothing I needed online and I got free shipping as long as I can come get it from the store — score! I do recommend that they have gift boxes around the holidays, esp since they are a big seller of clothing. Nothing gets someone giddy like seeing a box from their favorite store.
They were in the process of switching one of their animal scenes in the middle of the store over for the winter season so it was fun to watch it «snow» inside.
There’s just something about stores like this that really reach out to certain people. I know its a big staple in the St. Louis community and I’m hoping it here to stay.

What a hunter’s paradise!
This place is a hunting store, museum, amusement park, and zoo all in one. You can find whatever you need for your hunting needs. You get to hold the guns and other weapons.
This place had everything! There was a room that displayed antique guns in cases. There was a virtual reality gun or bow shooting game in a separate room. There were stuffed animals all over the place like a Natural History Museum. There were huge tanks with a variety of fish and humongus catfish. I also saw alligators and other swamp animals. I was so surprised that this place offered all this.
Even though I know nothing about hunting and the great outdoors, I could spend at least an hour exploring this store.

I’m a big fan! My kids enjoy the live fish, and the taxidermy. It’s a great opportunity to talk about the animals.
More importantly, the selection of outdoor gear is impressive! The staff are generally knowledgable and friendly. I’m not really into hunting or fishing, but it looks like the selection for these things is also extensive.

More than just a outdoor sporting goods. The best in outdoor gear and then some.
I’m always impressed of the staff at Cabela’s…they are the experts in their departments. Cabela’s does not hire just anyone… they look for experienced professionals in the field.
By far the BEST in St Louis!

A true Mid West outdoors mens paradise, they got it all here and a huge inventory. Not sure its the best place to buy fire arms, I like dealing with smaller local shops for that. My wife, the non-​outdoors person, even found a lot to like in the cooking section with a great selection of cast iron.
