Cabela’s

Like any other Cabela’s – what I mean to say here is: it is the sportsman/​outdoors man’s heaven! They definitely catered to that segment of the society. Not for me, though. We just happened to stop by at this location on our way from NoVA to Ohio. It was sort of mid-​way point. We had lunch in town, and we had some time to kill, so we stepped in and looked around. If our kids were younger, they may have enjoyed their museum-​like animal displays and/​or live fish tanks. For me most things (clothing in particular) are over-​priced, and they’re not what I need or want. They have a café and food products on upstairs section. Some folks might be really interested in fudge they sell here. They looked and smelled really good.

Bait and switch scumbags. I ordered 2 rifle scopes they advertised online. After getting a confirmation email, both scopes on 2 separate orders were cancelled. I found out they do this a lot from other cabelas online shoppers. The expensive items i ordered WITH the scopes they still sent… because it was bait and switch all the way. Scammers and scumbags.

Awesome store. They have a lot of animals on display, plus a massive aquarium. You can find stuff you can’t find elsewhere. My only problem is, the place is a bit expensive. If stuff is on sale, it’s usually a good deal, but if you go through, you’re likely to find stuff to be cheaper at Gander Mountain, but of course Gander Mountain has a very limited selection in comparison. Definitely worth a stop, but have a smart phone handy, because if you find an item you like, you’re likely to find it cheaper elsewhere.

Store as always was great. More camo, guns, and guy stuff than my boys and husband could look at. Had to lower my rating due to the food. We thought it would be quick, easy, and fun to grab lunch at the café there. I can not remember such an awful meal. While we will be back to shop we will never be back to eat. This is not a good way to introduce people to new meats!!!

Spectacle of a store. Very large with a lot of really neat things to see. As comprehensive of an outdoor store as you could imagine. It’s just a bit overpriced.

Each year we make a pilgrimage to Cabelas.
My favorite store? No. But it is what it says it is and it makes Hubs really, really happy.
Here’s what I know: They will match prices. They will (WILL) find you what you’re looking for and have it shipped to you from wherever it may be.
I really like their little café upstairs and they have a fabulous cast iron display. Also upstairs is a little country store. Cilantro-​jalapeño mustard? Heck yes! it is fabulous!
I am always ready to leave sooner than Hubs, but it’s a nice half day jaunt from Pittsburgh and from my perspective anything that makes Hubs this happy is surely doing something right!

Place is cluttered to much stuff for the amount of people. Most workers are like zombies. I would not recommend any thing with their logo on it. Makes Walmarts China made stuff look good.. They will put their logos on anything no matter if its junk or not. Buy name brand only!!! Need more stuff for the lady’s so the will spend more time and not rush their love ones.

Don’t eat here. Th burgers make McDonalds look like an upscale steak house and the fish sandwiches are worse. Everything is precooked and held in a steam table.

Although this retail store is aimed for outdoorsmen, sportsmen or outfitters it sells merchandise to a wide variety of interest. The staff is professional and knowledgeable of the areas in which they are assigned and have no problem explaining a product or demostrating how a product works which is great for a guest who has no experience in outdoor living or looking to purchase gift for an outdoormens etc.
Cabelas not only merchandizes but they build a personal connection between the store and its guest and provides educational learning for children. (when applicable) This store is not only family friendly but any outdoor hobbiest dream as it provides a walk through of an aquarium, an antique gun libary, a scenic taxidermy room displaying a wide variety of animals (whitetail world), an archery range, a fly shop, a fudge shop with free samples, fishing, camping, hunting, home décor, shoe and clothing departments etc. and a Deli/​Grill which is a small style resturant/​cafateria located on the second floor with an authenic variety of cusine futuring Elk, Osterich, Bison etc. although the café could be left open longer. It normally closes approximately 2 hours before the store.
Cabelas pricing at times can be overpriced but they send promotional fliers w addtional 10 to 60 dollars off coupons, and run promotional prices in store and if you are a bargain shopper they have Bargain Cave of discounted merchandise and with a little bit of searching and digging you may find something you might like. The merchandise in the bargain cave is returned and discontinued items; however once purchased you cannot return .
The best part about this Cabelas (as I have done this several times) is if an item is out of stock, the staff can order that particular item at that warehouse located across the street where you the consumer can drive across and pick up the item at no extra cost and no hassle of ordering online or going home empty handed.(Great for for holiday shopping).
The store and restrooms are clean and organized accept as in any retail store if there is busy foot traffic it may become bit messy.

If I could give it 3.5 stars I would.
This was my first time at Cabela’s. I live north of Pittsburgh and always had it in my head that it was SO far away, but it actually wasn’t a bad drive.
I actually enjoyed the experience more as a museum than as a store. They had taxidermied animals everywhere! I don’t just mean small animals either. They had bears, lions, and even elephants. Each section contained animals from different regions. They didn’t just have them standing around. They were posed in action scenarios. There was even a crocodile with a dead bird in it’s mouth. They have a stream winding around the center piece of the store with live fish in it. They also have an actual aquarium you can walk through like you do at the zoo. They have a whole section of the store devoted to record deer mounts! Some of those heads are amazing!
The store itself is 2 stories and has both stairs and an elevator to the top floor. The store is very well organized in that it is easy to know what direction to head in for particular items. They even have a bargain area with all of the clearance items in the store. There is a small restaurant upstairs that has a seating area.
A plus to shopping here is that their warehouse is just over the hill behind the store. If you don’t find what you are looking for in the store, they will look the item up in their computer system and if they have it in the warehouse you can just pay for it and take a slip up to the warehouse where they will have the item waiting for you.
All of that said, I don’t know if I will go back again. The experience itself was awesome, but once you see it, you’ve seen it. The prices are no lower and possibly a little higher than places like Gander Mountain or Bass Pro. The only reason I would return was if they had an item that I couldn’t find elsewhere.
All in all, I believe everyone should go at least once, but unless you live locally, it’s not worth it just for a shopping expedition.

Usually go there couple times a month. Love their restaurant. We enjoy the animal display and their freshwater aquarium is amazing. Good selection of guns and ammunition. I think heir gun prices are a little high. I usually get my ammo there. Ammo prices are pretty reasonable. I could spend entire day there

After years of passing by this location, I finally got to stop in. No real complaints with Cabela’s the business or this Cabela’s location. The location is currently remodeling, but that will only last a short time. The challenge with Cabela’s, whether this location or elsewhere, is that the price can be rather high compared to other businesses that carry many of the same products. If you buy clearance items, you are fine, but otherwise, you may find a hefty price tag at the register.
Again, no complaints with Cabela’s or this location, but it was just okay, not stunning or super outstanding. I will probably stop in again.

ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A CABELA’S IN PERSON!
Love the tanks with the fish. I like how the stuff animals are more contained. Bass Pro has the same concept and their animals are all over the place and people climb all over them.

This place is cool. Real cool. They have a huge bronze statue out front of a couple bears and eagles. Inside be prepared to be in awe. I dont know what the square footage is of this place, but it is huge. The largest sports store Ive ever seen.
They have huge dedicated rooms for guns, game, etc. They even have a huge mountain in the middle of the store with all sorts of stuffed/​fake animals, and a stream with running water. They have live fish aquariums, as well as a gun museum. Selection from every outdoor/​sporting goods is vast.
So why just 2 stars? Value. I guess it takes a LOT of overhead to keep a store like this up and running, and their prices show it. It is expensive. I have seen the exact same product at Gander Mountain for 25−30% cheaper.
I definitely give this place the nod for being awesome, and would definitely recommend stopping by to see it, but if your looking for the most out of your buck, go somewhere else.

If you a hunter, and never been to Cabela’s, you are missing the world of hunting.

Museum & store all in one.
This store was as large as any Home Depot I’ve been in. Lots of displays of animals with running streams and trout in them. It’s one of those places that you walk in and say, OMG. It also has so many outdoor items that it literally boggles the mind.
The bummer of the experience was the staff. They seemed disturbed that I would even talk to them. The first tried to avoid me, the second didn’t want to stop her conversation with another employee to acknowledge my existence. But the last one was the funnest. Stopped and asked him if they had an item listed in the flier, and he responded, «did you see any?». No, that is why I’m asking. He then responded, «well, there you go then». So, I guess they are out.
I’m proud to state that I didn’t leave any drool stains on their carpet and my visa stayed in my wallet.

I was in the area after a drive from Ohio over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
First, there is ample parking, a big deal since this store seems to be such a draw. Entry/​exit from the interstate was very easy, which was also appreciated.
The store… and «store» seems to be a misnomer as this place is huge… is pretty well laid out. It was very busy and navigating a cart was a challenge at times, but I didn’t get into any traffic jams. The kids enjoyed the aquarium on the first floor, as did I. I don’t fish but the fishing equipment selection seemed pretty thorough.
I think I saw a big selection of camoflage clothing, but couldn’t be sure because it was so well concealed. (little joke there, actually there is a lot of camo in all kinds of patterns.)
The kids enjoyed the shooting gallery as well, but it seemed pretty pricey at fifty cents. The taxidermy on display, on the other hand, is creative and eye-​catching. My kids liked seeing how tall a polar bear *really* is.
We decided to eat lunch there instead of at the excellent (and nearby) Quaker Steak and Lube restaurant in the same parking lot. Unless you want the novelty of eating elk or bison, I say skip eating there if there’s more than a couple of people in the snack area. The grill line moves very slowly, there’s an awkward mess between the soda dispensers and the cashiers, and the food appears to be mass cooked and held for service in headed bain-​maries. The prices are also somewhat high… I paid $ 12 for a double bison burger with fries and a medium soft drink. Even at that, the bison didn’t taste like bison, something I think is due to the way the grill is holding their food. Seating itself is also a challenge, especially if you’re with a largish group. There is no clear place in which to keep your shopping cart, so you either leave it to the side somewhere (hoping an employee doesn’t clear it), take it to your table with you (where it blocks other seats) or just go there before you shop.
Anyway, we enjoyed the camping gear selection and of course the hunting and firearms selections are first rate. I enjoyed looking in the gun library at some of the older and historic models.
If you’re in the area, or even if you’re a couple of hours away, don’t shop online… visit this store. Just have lunch/​dinner at The Lube instead of the in-​store restaurant. :)

This place is AMAZING! It has stuff I didn’t even know existed, and even more stuff I didn’t know I needed. If you are an outdoor enthusiast you will LOVE it here. The restaurant upstairs has lots of room and a fair variety of food. The whitetail display is incredible. There are plenty of mounted animals throughout the store.

I LOVE this store!
If you Hunt, Fish, Camp or Hike this is theeeee place for you!!!
They have «the mountain» in the middle of the store which is a literally a huge mountain with dozens and dozens of harvested animals that have been stuffed and put on display – truly an amazing sight if your into the sport!
There’s also a Deer area where they have a ton of record deer (white-​tail and mule deer) and lot of info on the species presented.
(The above two are kin to going to a taxidermy type of museum – but in a good way!)
This place is HUUUUUGE, also!
Its like a small mall, all on its own!
For hunting, they have everything that one could need for bowhunting or gun-​types.
The store is sort of sectioned off by interest and there’s an «upstairs»
First Floor: Clothing (camo and regular stuff) in the middle
(right) Aquarium and Fishing Area, then shoes (all types)
(Left) Gun Library and gun-​hunting needs
(rear) Bowhunting and also the Bargain Cave
[between rear and left is the deer museum area]
[EXACTLY in the middle of the store is «The Mountain”]
(upstairs) dining, hiking, camping, gift area, cooking
needs, shooting gallery for kids
Things that I remember seeing:
Hunting stuff (Bow, Rifle, Muzzleloader, Shotgun);
Fishing stuff;
Hiking stuff;
camping stuff;
Bargain Cave (clearanced merch – no reallllly awesome deals, but some discounted stuff);
a TON of camo (brands and patterns galore including «She» for us ladies);
shoes/​boots (sports and non);
regular clothing (but brands such as North Face & Columbia);
Optics;
Gift shop area;
there was bedding/​furniture/​home section;
An indoor shooting range gallery game (the air rifle type);
The Gun Library (where guns are displayed, sold AND bought);
They actually sell all types of guns (hunting and personal);
They sell bows (Mostly Diamond, Bear and PSE);
There are food/​restaurant areas in there too;
There’s a small aquarium area with live fish and there are also live giant koi in the pond/​stream that sort of surrounds and intertwines with «the Mountain» in the middle of the store.
Again, I really enjoy this store – but I enjoy these types of activities (hunting, hiking, etc.)
If your husband, BF, Dad or Brother hunts… take him here for a day and bring a credit card (or easily two)! :)
PROS: All of the stuff listed above!
The MOST camo I’ve ever seen anywhere in one place
GREAT selection of hunting stuff (large game)
Great selection of bowhunting/​archery stuff
You can take your bow or gun into the store to be fitted and use to purchase accessories (you must check it in first).
They offer bow services here
CONS: pricey (but all of this stuff is)
a bit far from Pittsburgh, but the drive really isnt too bad… a little under an hour or so.
The food (if you do eat there) was only so-​so.
We had the burgers and they weren’t too good (LOL).
The «deals» in the bargain cave aren’t really very good «deals», but… they gotta make a buck, too!

Ahhhhh… Nothing like a sunday drive down 70 and coming across Cabela’s!!! If youre into outdoorsy stuff, this is the place for you!!! I dont especially like the outdoors, but i do enjoy the stuffed animals in the place. Every season is represented on the mountain inside… Love the polar bears and the elephant!!! There’s even an aquarium where you can see turtles getting fiesty with each other… Check out the café and the general store where they have some of the best fudge ever!!! Theres even a shooting gallery in this place. (I dont know how many times ornery kids hit me with water here while shooting at a target… good times!!!) A good place to go and relax if youre on a trip.
