Cabela’s

Nice place to shop sometimes but seriously open some checkouts! 20 deep already only 5 lanes open!

Will NOT return for anything ever again! The wife and I were shopping for her first gun, we spent 45 minutes at the counter with not one person offering to help us! When we asked a clerk to help us he snapped at us for interrupting his transaction with «a real buying customer». Screw you Cabelas, your not even the cheapest around, but you want to treat people like that. I would rather buy from a pawn shop than do business here again.

This place is unbelievable! One of the other reviewers called it «paradise for hunters, hikers, and fishers». I would echo that and even add lots of others. This store is huge and has various gadgets, gizmos and displays that could keep a curious person interested all day. Definitely anything and everything for hunting, fishing and hiking, but I would expand to say almost anything outside from clothes to cooking, boating, camping, etc. You just need warm clothes, or want to know more about animals, or want to eat good food at their restaurant inside the store, or want to buy a present, or want fudge, or want to do archery, or etc etc etc. I guess most of those generally fall under hunting, hiking and fishing, but the store is so big I feel like it needs more description than just that.
If you are in the area, I definitely recommend you check it out.

Gun counter wasn’t helpful. Guy helping us had no clue about the guns and wasn’t friendly at all. Pretty rude. Rest of the store is fine just not the gun counter. Went to purchase and waited for a long time with out help. Shouldn’t take 45min to and hour to checkout.

Awesome service in the Archery Department. Took my Bow in today had it fixed and ready with no charge in less than 30 minutes. Archery technician was very through and helpful.

Cabela’s is a great place to window shop, look at cool displays and hang out. As far as shopping here? Nah, go online and pay half the price.
Maybe I’m just not a sports guy, or an outdoor guy. But noting about this place makes me enjoy the process of shopping here.
Costs? Cheaper almost anywhere else.
Customer service? It depends on your definition. I hate going to the DMV, taking a number and waiting in line. This place is much of the same. I understand people get busy, but I’ve seen gun counter guys talking behind the counter doing nothing and when I asked them a question I was accosted that I hadn’t picked out a number first.
I’d rather buy my guns at a local gun store.

I went to KC today to see my brother and after we where done I decided to got cabelas. I go in start looking around in the gun section and had planned on buying a 1911 smith and Weston 45 but we’ll get there in a min. I was looking at the ammo and could not find what I was looking for 22 Lr (hard to find) so I ask a employe. I said sir can you please help me and he keeps walking so I say it agin keeps walking so finely I yell some what with a stern voice SIR CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME. He looks at me and say what can I do for you so I tell him. I was just wondering if you had any 22 he in a quick snippy way says no and walks off I had a second question but guess that didn’t matter to him. So I continue walking around find another employe this one seems nice at first but found out very quickly he had no business working I. The gun department. I bout a hi point fire arm just for something to shoot and ask the guy hey do you carry hi point mags real quick nope sorry. So he walks down the aisle about 10ft from me. I’m looking at the mags and what do I find a hi point mag for my gun. So I look at the guy and say you do carry these there right hear. He looks right at me and say I guess I just lied right to your face. I just looked at him and said I knew you carried them but guess you couldent be bothered to help any one. So any ways back to what I said about the 45 I went to the counter stood there for quit a few minuets waiting for someone to help no one came so I just bought the mag and left. It’s sad I wnet in there with the intention of buying a 1000 $ gun but left with nothing went to st. joe bought a Henry lever action instead. But the main reason for this post was not really ment to be a stab at the store I love the store some of the employes need to be fired and quick. I don’t belive I’ll ever go back there agin don’t really have a reason to after being treated like that. I thought about telling a manger but what’s the point I don’t really belive any thing would have been done any ways. I hope ever one has a better time there then I did.

This is paradise for hunters, hikers, and fishers. Every conceivable thing that you may want (and more) is here. They have the best selection of ammo, which is consistently well stocked.
You could easily get lost in all of the stuff here, which is ok. If you get hungry, then even serve food, and have a fudge shop. The indoor shooting range is pretty neat. They have a mule deer museum and an aquarium.
The customer service here is excellent. The staff goes above and beyond to help you. I recently went on a hiking trip in Peru and went to Cabela’s beforehand to get supplies. One of the associates in the hiking section, Hap, was very useful. He knew the differences in all of the sleeping bags, was able to make recommendations on those and all of the other supplies that we had yet to even consider. People like him have made every trip here exceptional. This is my first stop (and usually the last) for any of my outdoor needs.

I went to Cabela’s Gun Library in order to trade or sell some of my firearms. The experience was extremely disappointing. Although I had anticipated low offers, understanding that Cabela’s needs to make a profit, it turns out they calculate at least a 33% margin. Meaning they will offer you less than ²⁄₃ of what your gun is actually worth. To make matters worse one of their employees, Charlie, was extremely rude and condescending. He repeatedly cut me off mid-​sentence and talked down to me. He continued to disrespect me in the presence of the Gun Library’s manager, who simply tolerated such behavior without apology. In conclusion, don’t go to Cabela’s to sell your used firearms. They will try to rip you off and disrespect and belittle you in the process.

Free shipping for online ordering in the store. Great customer service! Nice environment too

This store is well stocked; it’s huge and has really anything you want such as under armor hoodies which is mostly the only reason I go there love this store and will come by many more!

Went to Cabela’s to sell my used Beretta AL-​3 shotgun. Its an engraved gun. So its worth more than a standard gun. The employee told me he would offer «book value», flipped open a gun value book, pointed to a price them closed the book before I had a chance to look at the description. When I then re-​opened the book, looked up my gun, the price he was going to offer me was lot less than it should have been — he had referenced the un-​engraved shotgun. What a scammer. They must make a commission on the profit spread.

I go to Cabela’s often enough, for bullets as they are by far more stocked than Bass Pro Shop. I love Cabela’s. (and I’ve not reviewed it yet? hmmm)
Pro’s:
1. Fish Aquarium. Come here before dishing out an admittance to the aquarium in KC.
2. Indoor shooting range.
3. Gun section… Rugers, Sigs, Walther’s Oh my!
4. Mule Deer Museum. I don’t hunt, but I love the Mule Deer Museum.
5. Store events
6. Bullet prices and stock
Con’s:
1. I love their clothes. I wear a size ¹⁰⁄₁₂ pants. Their blasted tactical pants never fit. I always buy clothes when I go there, but I truly feel their tactical pants are made for 16 year olds.
2. Don’t even try to buy a gun here if you live in MO. What a hassle.
3. Their C and C handbags cost more by far than Centerfire’s.
4. The onsite restaurant is lame.
6. Too far from my house, but I go there anyway.
Parking is always good, but if there’s a soccer game, be prepared to be grilled by the parking attendant. Watch their website for store events. Bargain Cave, always check back there, as well as their clothing clearance.

On two different occasions I was helped by the same person, the second time I actually told the employee to leave and get someone else… I don’t know what department she works in because I see her walking around all the time. Her name is Alissa, and she is the most arrogant person that works there. I told her about a certain product last winter that didn’t work as well as the one she was trying to sell me because I needed a replacement, long story short I was told that I was wrong and that I had to buy this certain product… Blah blah blah she made such a huge scene and got all pissed because I told her she was wrong (she even admitted to not having hands on experience, she was only reading the label), anyway I left the store buying nothing, called the manager and he insisted that I should come back and that he would talk to her… Yea right, I went to bass pro… Then a couple weeks ago she has the audacity to come and try to help me, I literally told her to go away and get someone else…

Great store, displays are like a natural history museum. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. While the prices tend to be on the higher side, Cabelas stands behind their products with 100% customer satisfaction, and replacement if product not satisfactory. Like something, but don’t like the price? Wait for it to come on sale, which it will.

Great, large selection of everything you need for your outdoor needs. Plenty of animals & fish to look at to keep kids occupied too.

This is the REI of Kansas City! Every department is huge, has a nice selection of merchandise and at a decent price.
Myself, I like to hike and camp and this is the one of only two store in KC that has a department worthy of the name. Product wise, this is twice the size of Bass Pro. I’m amazed at the selection of tents, hiking poles, sleeping bags, backpacks, knives, lights, dehydrated food,
This is also a great place to loose a half day. The large fishing, hunting, camping and clothing departments are great but its the extra off to the side… I’m talking about the large collection of animals museum and huge aquariums. It’s really a great place to hang out when waiting for someone to finish shopping.
If you are looking for a new boat… then this is not the place. Check out Bass Pro who has a crazy selection of boats/​trailers.
The only thing I wish Cabala had is a nice sitting area (like Bass Pro has) to hang out while waiting for everyone to finish shopping. Ah well.

I find this store to be very interesting. I like to look at all there stuff even if most of it isn’t for me. They do have a nice section for sausage making and I do that. I usually come here to buy gifts for family members who are into hunting and fishing. This was one of the first major retailers to come to KCK and I try to give them as much support as I can because they took a chance on my Dotte. I don’t know how great the prices are but I’ll tell you this, the places is always busy. The staff are very helpful and professional. When I was here at Christmas, not only did the man take me to where the item I wanted was, he insisted on escorting me to another item I wanted and then pointed out to me that the pic I had on my iPhone was from a competitor. I appreciate that kind of attention.

Great depending on what you go for. Buying a gun here, unless it’s on a MAJOR sale, is crazy. They bump their prices up so they can make sure they make money. However, if you are in a jam and you need something immediately or you don’t care about the cost, it’s great. Bargain Cave is awesome.

They have so much stuff here, not just camping and hunting gear. My husband had a hitch extender we wanted to return. It was over a year old and even though we had the receipt we were worried about they taking it. No trouble, just take store credit! Perfect. So we looked around and my husband bought 4 new pairs of really good quality shorts, and a nice semi-​dressy pair of khaki pants. They also had some super cute kids stuff.
In addition to shopping they have huge floor to ceiling fishtanks of missouri fish, catfish, turtles etc. They also have a ton of stuffed animals set up like a natural history museum. A big waterfall in the center with more stuffed animals on it. A huge cafeteria and old –timey electronic rifle range upstairs (complete with the barrel that will pop up and spin if you hit it).
