Cabelas

This place is super cool! It has everything for hunting and it even has everything that you would need after you have caught your game! For someone like me who has never really been in the hunting store, this was amazing! Thank you!

Wow! It’s hard to believe that I had one of the worst customer service experiences ever at Cabela’s Acworth :(. It is a cool store, but ugh! I went in to buy my hubs shoes. When I got to the register, they rang up for the presale price. No one offered to see what was up or fix the error, so I ran back to shoe department to ask for either the right shoes or for them to fix price. Then I made my way back to the front. I went to a different register. They rang up wrong again. At this point, I stated they needed to get it right. I had two kids that were getting restless. Someone then came up and said this had happened before, and it was handled quickly.
Here’s the kicker, though. The lady at the first register never refunded the amount or closed at the transaction, so the next guy got $ 245 of stuff on my credit card. Yep!!! I was over-​charged $ 245. When I called the manager, he seemed less than concerned and told me to dispute the charge with visa. He also said it was their mistake and they would make sure the dispute process was short. «Call him back if $ was not refunded in a week.» I told him if there was a way for him to refund that day, that would be preferred, as I do not have MORE TIME TO WASTE correcting their mistakes.
Well, it’s a month later and not only has the money been refunded, I cannot get the store manager to call me back. So Mr. Johnson, if you see this, my info has been left for you and I would like a call back.

I’d been looking for hiking boots and socks on this trip and had been shopping elsewhere. While I was delighted at their inventory selection, it was wide not deep. That is, they had lots of boots to choose from but did not have much in the way of sizes and I had to settle for my fifth choice. The prices where good compared to their competitors, so I was content with my final purchase. Their sock selection was much better, as was their other goods, so shoes seem to be their weak spot.

Today I attempted to make a purchase at Cabelas and left empty handed. I gave myself an hour, figuring I might need a little extra time. After an hour and a half, I was standing at the checkout, waiting to pay. Sadly, I had an appointment, and had to leave before Cabelas could complete the transaction.
When I first walked in, there was a foreboding I’d be in trouble. Two employees behind the desk were on the phone with a customer. After about 15 minutes of back and forth on the phone, one of the employees said to the other, «hey, help him while I deal with this». Apparently the stores phone lines had lost the ability to transfer customers to different departments.
I asked for a specific item and (after searching the computer for 10 minutes)‘was told the item was in stock, but they’d have to get it for me…10 more minutes. Not at all surprised, the item they handed me was the wrong one. Things didn’t get any better from there.
The store itself was very nice. and they had plenty of employees standing around. I only saw 4 other customers during my visit. I was stuck in traffic getting to and coming from this location. This was my 1^st and last visit to Cabelas.

Great place with lots of choices, but customer service was lacking. There is a bargain section in the back right side.

Great place, definitely friendly staff, and they have a bit of a better general selection than Bass Pro Shops in my opinion, especially with firearms. My only issue with firearms at Cabela’s is their gun library, which is where their used guns are. They have an awesome selection of used guns, however they’re pretty bad when it comes to pricing them. They’re a little to optimistic for the most part. But other than that, I love this place!

I went to the Acworth Georgia store this morning (3÷14÷15) and arrived at five after eight o’clock.
I went directly to the gun ammunition department to purchase a sale item. It was sold out already after five minutes. The small shelf where the employee showed me where it was could not have held more than ten boxes. Of course all the other caliber ammo had five times more displayed.
I asked for the general manager and his attitude was pretty much tough luck. He did not ask or even try to help. I could tell he did not care one bit about my concern.
I feel this was a typical retail store putting out a small amount of a sale item to try and sell a more expensive item.
Very disappointing.

Was at this location last Sat — this place was poorly staffed — it took over an hour to get any help and or questions answered. Today I called the store to ask a few questions and had the same issues. Nobody available to help me. Well, their loss — I took my business somewhere else and wont bother going back here

The store is beautiful inside. I admit it. But unless you catch a half way decent sale go to Academy Sports. There’s only one reason this store is so close to the interstate hwy. And that is so they can catch unsuspecting tourists that may not be familiar with Academy. Prices are through the roof. And as one reviewer already mentioned their prices for firearms are flat out ridiculous!!! I’ve seen their gun prices as much as 50% more than some online gun prices. And there are multiple stores in the area that do free FFL transfers.
Go to Academy or Dicks (if your item is on sale).

Best big box store for outdoorsmen/​women. Great lay out and location for the store. Bass pro is eating their dust.

Stopped by to see what all the hubbub was about after having been a mail-​order customer. The store reminded me a lot of Bass Pro Shops, so it didn’t really amaze me. Prices seemed on the higher end. There’s a snack bar with game-​y food (bison, etc.). Worth a trip to check out or for something you need now and can’t wait to order online (if it’s stocked).

I’m giving this 2 stars because every time I’ve been here the staff were rude and disinterested. Today, my husband bought a new scope from them and wanted to get it installed on his Browning. He gave his gun and new scope to the employee behind the gun counter and told him it would be done in 10 – 15 minutes. Well we walked around twiddling our thumbs and never saw the guy again after returning several times. Finally tracked someone down (after already waiting 45 mins) and turns out our gun had been ready. The employee said «yea, been ready for a while now. It’s at the gun check out center”(or whatever they call it). Then he was picking through the guns, «is this one yours?», «what about this one?». Arg! Just so frustrating. They never took down our name or anything and NEVER told us to wait at the gun check out area and didn’t even know which gun was ours. Anyone could walk up and say «yeah sure that’s my gun» and then YOUR gun is long gone. Just plain unprofessional and we wont be back!
Oh and they have a «dog kennel», but there’s no one there managing it, you have to bring your own water, bowl and lock and its out in the blazing sun! Plant some trees or something…

Awesome outdoor store! It oozes testosterone! Staff was nice. Selection was amazing. Ammo prices are very good.
Fun place to take the kids too.

My macho macho viejo took me here after a PT filled morning of Oorahing, mount dismount, a PFT and then eating our fill at Henrys. This place is like a candy shoppe for a manly man. It’s a respite for the eager beaver fisher. A safe haven for the outdoors person from 6 months to older. They have outdoor gear for toddlers, kids, and adult. The have the little deer decals l like like Browning and guns, and animal things, and everything you could possibly want to do everything outside from cooking, to camping to frying to grilling. I was delighted.. it was as if we’d died and fell into outdoors heaven. I love this place. It’s huge it’s clean it’s new and it’s worth driving from the east side all the way to never never land (Acworth) for. I guess now my visits have to include Henry then Cabelas.

Great Cabellas as I was traveling through. I was in town for business and on my way home on the Interstate I saw a new Cabellas that I have never seen before. I missed the exit, so I went down to the next and made my way back. This was a great surprise as I will stop by here again as it is in a convenient location just north of Kennesaw.
I went on a Monday night which is great for a customer like me because there seem to be 10 workers per customer. So I could easily get waited on if I needed to.
I wondered aimlessly through this store like a kid looking at toys everywhere wishing I could buy almost everything.
They have lots of guns in here too. They even have tractors outside you can buy. They were small but look like they could do yard work or maybe level a yard.
There’s plenty of parking too as I saw a place that looked like where 18 wheelers could park in a dirt area. I saw one over there and he looked like he was using it as a rest area for the night.
I got great customer service here as I could find help whenever I needed it. The café they have in was closed. But, they opened it up just for me to buy some coffee and a cookie (see pics).

I have been in a lot of cabelas, and they usually are a very good shopping experience. I have been in this one three times, and it is pretty sad. Employees seem beat down pretty badly, and they seem to have a large turnover, as when you ask if someone you dealt with the week before is available, you are told they are no longer there. Quite a bit of grumbling under their breath about hateful acting management is what you get when you press for more info. Maybe they have gotten too big for their britches? Was in a scheels store out west, can not wait until they push further east.

Pretty cool place — Very similar to Bass Pro Shop except only one story.

Massive store with a huge crowd.
I had no trouble getting in, unlike previous reviews. Huge parking lot, it’s just packed. Plenty of staff, they’re just overwhelmed and new employees. Prices aren’t great, but the volume of inventory is amazing! I didn’t even get to see half the store because it was so crowded, but the gun museum and fishing area were highlights. I will be back!

I also went for the Grand Opening and it was a huge mess. I gave up and never got in. Seemed every police and fire person in all of Cherokee Country was there directing traffic. Even I75 had cars all backed up trying to get off had little chance of being able to get a place to park anyway. Yes this is bad, but their marketing must be working. It just is a bit annoying when they offer gimmicks that only a few will get…500 at opening is more than a few, but there was many times that, and 50 each day for the next 2 days, way to small. Better to have deals for everyone, and skip the come on which only causes chaos. Had someone had an accident or fire in Cherokee County that day… good luck! I asked them who paid to have all the police and fire and fire trucks there only to hoist up American Flags and they said it was all free! Courtesy of the County! HMMM? Well I know that the store is the largest employer in Cherokee County right off the bat, so maybe they think tax revenues will pay them back.
Overall though the store is big and clean and the help is quite helpful. It looks a lot like a big BassPro. I told one of them that and they said oh no, Bass Pro looks like US. Cabelas has been around much longer but is new here is GA.
ATTN SHOPPERS!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS shop online at their website first. They have sales online that are not in the store. Store price can be higher as they have you there in front of something you want. Online they have to compete with everyone else and all the price matching ap’s and software. SO you can often do better online. They will match anything on
at the register, Just have a printout or have a phone that can display it. OR You can have a salesperson in that department write up an override match tkt and the checker calls a supervisor to approve it. Its easy. I got a fly fishing combo package for the online sale which was about half of store price so it pays to look. This online and instore price difference goes on in just about all stores now everywhere so shop wisely.
BARGAIN CAVE– It is both a site on their website AND a physical place in the store. Back wall to your right side. Check there before buying anything and you might find some deals.
I was there again today, Labor day, for the third time. The lot was totally full. People were parking on grass, and in dirt areas not approved for parking as they had no choice. The store was extremely busy, Yet of the 12 checkout positions, only 6 were open! That’s not so good. However I don’t want to be too critical, maybe they cant find the help! They DID hire a TON of folks.
Overall I like the store. I shop at Academy, BassPro, Dicks and here now. I wont say any one is way better than the other. I always price compare and go to where I find the best deal. BassPro has more fishing stuff. The opening flyer at Cabelas seemed to be all hunting stuff and fishing only on the back page, however it is that time of year.
Like other stores you can order and have it shipped to store for pickup free. Pickup is on the back wall to the left of fishing. Return is up to 90 days.
If your a patron of stores like these like me, I think we should welcome all the competition we can get! Gives us all more options and this one certainly helped Georgias job situation.

Drove by for grand opening, couldn’t even get in the parking lot & traffic was a mess. Turned around and left. Didn’t appear they were prepared for the big opening. Also while waiting in traffic noticed people walking out weren’t carrying much so either they didn’t have any deals or have many give-​aways. Will be interested to think what others think & will update review after things calm down
