Joe's Sporting Goods Reviews

I initially have Joe's 5 stars based on my first two shopping experiences. I had went out of my way to look for a new pair of Keen sandals because I heard masks are required. I got great service.and what I needed. However my 3 rd experience was very disappointing. I was looking for a 22 rifle as starter rifle for my child. I purchased and after waiting a week for Joe's to call back on the status of the background check I called to see if I could pick it up. Note I had recently made another purchase and had just gotten a favorable. Long story short, Joe's corporate makes you wait indefinitely for the response from the Feds. They didn't inform me of their unique policy. They Brady date most if not all other forearm sellers follow. Joe's requires you to give them money up front. I would never go to Joe's to purchase a fire arm. I had made a special trip and lost a week to find out I have to start all over. Very frustrating!

Joe's has a ton of high-quality goods that, while pricey, are among the best of their respective kind. If you're into the outdoors, chances are Joe's has something you're looking for.

A large selection of many different sporting goods products and a very infomative staff that is helpful for those of us that need that expertice.

not so helpful in the shoes department but others are just fine

Got my old reels reloaded. Good friendly advise and fast service.

Great store and Jim took great care in explaining the handguns to my brother who knows very little about the semi autos.

If you are going outdoors, Joe's has what you need with a staff that knows what they are talking about.

Prices are generally higher than most other sporting good stores in the area. They close at 5pm now so I imagine cutting the working man out of their customer demographic their prices will be even higher now!

Good selection of ice fishing gear, got some USA made cleats

Probably the best sporting goods store out there. I've met the owner and his name really is joe. 10/10

Awesome experience! The staff was very knowledgeable and helped me without hesitation. I will definitely be returning to shop here the store is very fun to go through!

I dropped into this store on a whim seeing it from the hwy, with the intent of finding ski/snowboard items. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the discounted items as well as the supply of ski/snowboard tuning accessories (waxes, brushes, etc) that many of the other sporting good stores have much lower volumes of. The goggle selection is impressive and displayed very well. The snowboard goods selections is ok. They carry the basic boards, bindings, and boots.

The service is ok. No different than any other comparable store (sometimes good and sometimes poor help).

My new go-to store for ski/board goggles, helmet, and tuning accessories

Love Joe's for their selection of outdoor gear and their very helpful staff.

I buy just about all of my equipment here. Prices are as good as Amazon, and service is top notch.

Last year I brought in my Mossberg 535 to have my scope mounted on it for deer season, I went to use it again this year with the iron sights and the gun Smith removed the rear iron sights to accommodate the scope. They never returned the sight to me and now I can't use that gun this deer season, awesome.

Great outfitters, little pricey. Always have what I'm looking for. Just have to pay a little bit more for it.

Very good customer service,you can also get your permit to carry there.

This place is great! The staff are VERY knowledgeable but don t push anything on you. Terry in fishing is one of the best staff there. There have a lot of different things from boots to skis to fishing to hunting to clothes to swim suits. Great place to get what you need. They also have live bait for fishing which is awesome! They have pretty good sales when seasons change so keep your eyes out!

Great local sporting good store with knowledgeable friendly staff.

Best sporting goods shop in town. Prices are reasonable. Selection is varied. It's not as stocked as a Cabela's, but usually worth the trip over. And they often have good sales going.

Been shopping there for years won t shop here anymore due to them requiring you to wear a facemask.They aren t doctors
My doctor told me with asthma I should not have a face cover.Time to go back to shopping your local sporting goods stores . That s 5-10 gun sales lost and probably $10,000 a year in fishing gear
If you re that afraid stay home.

Stopped here on way to BWCA to pick up some extra rain gear due to weather forecast change. Called ahead to verify items needed, got to store and Terri was a 10/10 on customer service, fitting advice, and jokes. She alone made the visit worth it! Prices were fair due to 4th of July sales. 10/10 would recommend.

My friend and I were looking for fly fishing pop flys (they float)...and we found them. So exciting! While my friend was talking to a sales person about putting old shotguns up for consignment, I decided to ask if they sold ARs. As a supporter of #EveryTownforGunSafety and
#MarchForOurLives I wanted to talk to someone about guns. I met a man named Dale, who was gracious enough to talk to me, and I with him, with respect. The conversation was important to me. We talked about delayed applications, background checks, mental health checks, and instinct. We shaked hands, and it was a good thing!!! Thank you Dale!!!

Best fishing and hunting store in the metro. Not sure why anyone would go anywhere else- employees are prompt and knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for all customers.

Excellent sporting goods store. Had everything I needed in stock and ready to go.

Just called to see if a specific firearm was in stock. Gentleman who answered the phone told me he had a used one in stock. I asked for the price and he responded $430. This firearm is on-sale at every retailer ive found for $359.99-379.99. We are talking every every retailer. But I'd have to wait for one of them to get their next shipment or drive an hour a way. Was hoping to find one closer to me and from a business I frequent. I explained to the gentleman who answered that everyone is running the same sale price on new, he told me if I could find one for that price then why am I calling him, and hung up on me. I will never do business here again. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was as polite as can be just trying to inform them. I cant believe they'd let someone with those phone skills talk to their customers.

Great place for all your outdoor hobbies, great service and employees are very knowledgeable

Always our go to for hunting, fishing, and outdoor clothing.

I moved 30min from the store but i will still make the drive to shop there.

Ordered Patagonia product on Dec 5th and had confirmation it was going to ship for a birthday present on the 10th but here it is Dec 14th and still no product!!! HORRIBLE customer service could not answer why this happened! Don't be disappointed, don't order from them!!!!

Outstanding customer service!!
The Young Man that helped me gave suggestions, and stayed with me to help until I was totally done with all my shopping.
He helped find 3 different items for me, and was very knowledgeable.

Great sales all the time on seasonal apparel. You can end up finding some awesome deals on spendy brands that are almost never discounted elsewhere. Their firearms selection is pretty good too, not counting the obvious pandemic shortages. Great customer service as well.

Love this place! They have the best selection in fishing gear. They stay on top of all the latest gear that's on the market. Their staff is very knowledgeable too, which is a plus!

Friendly and attentive service even while busy. Love shopping at places like this over those which drank the lean staffing kool aid and hope the work environment matches the customer experience.

Love the fish bait and all the supplies lures. One place shop

I purchased a complete xc ski package, and had an issue with the boots. I went back to Joe's and worked with the manager who listened carefully and who solved the problem. What amazing customer service!! I felt like a respected customer! Thank you! I will share this story with everyone I know and encourage them to go to Joe's. A loyal Joe's customer.

I have been here 3 different times, and each time I have been happy with the experience. It is a very well staffed, clean place, with many choices for gear and clothing etc. I prefer it over REI.

Great store helpful friendly staff, we will be back!

I bought a handgun there, it was well below acceptable retail price. Their prices are pretty good, and occasionally you find a steal. The staff are kind of derpy though.

Helpful staff and a seasonal rotating selection that usually hits the mark for me.

Great people decent prices, great service. Im a long time customer. Have always loved walking in an just browsing. Great selection of products from fishing lures and rods to skis and boots. Large selection of firearms. Knowledgeable people!

If I could give zero stars I would. Jim in ski department is HORRIBLE. We leased a pair of skis for my son. We received a used pair of skis as expected. My son used one pair of skis for 3 outings then the binding broke. Returned them to the store to have the leased skis repaired/replaced. Upon greeting me Jim went on a confrontational rant about how the leased skis are not meant for jumping or anything beyond recreational use and I would be charged for any subsequent repairs. I found this ironic as the sale-person that fitted my sons when we decided to lease the skis joked and teased my boys about who was going to do the best tricks this upcoming season. Initial salesperson was Joe. He was great. Jim needs an attitude adjustment and if this is the policy of Joes' to charge for repairing leased skis it needs to be noted in the initial contract. Very shaky and questionable.

Joe's is great. I love to come here to get hunting and winter sports items; the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The sales they have are SUPER! I got all the new stuff I needed for winter fat biking at the last one (long johns, socks, chemical toe warmers, new goggles...) Come here for skis, guns, winter clothes, hunting supplies, footwear, you won't have to visit another place afterwards because something was out of stock.

OMG! This is the first time I've been to their new location and I was very impressed with the variety and quality of sporting clothes and equipment! Great place to spend hours looking around. I bought a pair of driving gloves but may need to exchange them for a larger size.

Nice all around selection of sporting goods and outerwear. Ski and board shop is great to work with. Always seem to find a deal there.

Best place for sporting goods, bar none! Prices are right and you can actually find stuff that everybody wants, not just what's currently the hot item of the minute--but they have that, too.

I went here today to look into cross country ski equipment. I am a beginner. I waited in line almost an hour to talk with someone, but it was absolutely worth it. Carlo was very knowledgeable and even though he had a very busy day, he was very polite and pretty much selected my equipment for me, which is what I needed. I have never been to Joe's before, but I will definitely go back. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience!

I've purchased a kayak and pretty much all my gear from here. Also all my ski equipment. Staff have always been awesome and knowledgeable. Been shopping here for years.

Joes offers a variety of outdoor products that will surely suit your needs. The staff is always willing to address your individual situation, needs and experience level to best outfit you with your new gear. Go here more than a couple times, and you ll find your place in this nice local shop.

Very knowledgeable about 2nd amendment items and will take time to answer all your questions

Very knowledgeable employees. Ck out gals great. Overall very satisfied !!!

Always great service and selection. One of my favorite stores.

It's the best sporting goods store in the TC. Colombia coats in many sizes even up to 4X for less than online.

I haven't shopped at Joe's in years but stopped in as I was in the area. I asked one of the employees a question, he acted as if I interrupted his day; not friendly at all. Updated review, 2/17/21. As you can see from the response to my initial review I had Jim reach out to me to find out more about the experience that I had. I spoke with Jim for quite awhile and found that he was concerned about my experience at Joe's and wanted to make everybody's experience better. After speaking with Jim I do believe that this was an icolated occurance. I will definitely stop in again when I'm in the area and give them another try.
