This location needs to update their new hours Im here at 10am and the door sign says it opens at 11am. A lot of us Google everything online prior to shopping in person saves us gas and time.

I came to this store on 12/16 to look for a BB gun for my son for Christmas. Im not very familiar with BB guns so I had a couple questions. The store associates were not helpful at all. The manager working said they arent allowed to show customers how the bb guns operate. They couldnt even tell me whether they were pump, CO2 or break barrel. The lady manager was pretty rude and was radiating her anti gun agenda. This is also the only Big 5 I have ever been to that doesnt sell real guns. Will take my business somewhere else in the future.

They had run out of what we needed. But props to the friendly staff who recommended other places to try, along with letting me know its better to call in and see if they got it before making a trip, along with reserving it ahead of time, since what we wanted was in high demand. Thanks!

Surprised that they have pretty much everything we would need in such a small location. People at the register can be a bit more social otherwise its a pretty clean and well organized place

Review №18

The staff were very helpful in finding what I needed, especially during the whole lockdown situation. Their selection is what you expect from an all-purpose store focused on many outdoor activities. Not everything is quality but there are many diamond In the roughs.

This is a well-stocked store with friendly and helpful staff. Its location makes for an easy and safe parking situation.This store carries all the usual sports gear, clothing, shoes, some boating accessories, weightlifting equipment, fishing gear and ammunition. They sell some rifles but no pistols, other than ones that are air or CO2 propelled.This store resides along El Camino Real, in Menlo Park. It is in a small strip mall and not readily visible from the road. You have to keep an eye out for it.

Review №21

Drove there more than 30 mins to buy the items I need but the associate said they cant sell it to me because apparently the computer is being used for new hired orientation. I asked to paused the training for few minutes but she said cant do. Wow..turning down customer so the orientation cant be bothered.

Nothing overwhelmingly positive or negative. Found a cheap jacket I was happy.

Review №23

Came there to buy some running and tennis shoes. As a lady, I did not see any tennis shoes. Options for running shoes are also limited. The men’s section is double of the women’s, very disappointing.

Review №24

Big 5 its a quirky place. When they have what you want, this is a wonderful place to get what you want. Theres quite a variety of sporting equipment. And I always seems to find something to purchase here.My biggest issue with the place is the cleanliness and lack of staff. The two go hand in hand. When there are staff around and on have, I see them running around overwhelmed. They dont have the time to clean up the shelves or restock. And that really detracts from the experience of shopping.

Review №25

This place is somehow able to alter the space-time continuum and fit more stuff in the small store than you could imagine. Its like one of those smaller hardware stores that seem to have everything you need. The employees are friendly and helpful but mostly leave you alone if you need to wander a bit. Prices are reasonable and they regularly offer some very useful $10 off $30 coupons.

The store is open, but under construction. The back of the store has no lighting, scissor lift take up the back quarter of the store, and the front left is being framed in. No firearms sold at this location. Pellet, airsoft, paintball and firearm accessories (hearing protection and cases) are available though.

Well I like the store and dont get me wrong I like the staff however there was a sign on the door that theyre hiring so that should have been an indication right there they were short-staffed. The poor guy at the front register I cant tell you how many hats he was wearing. But he was friendly and try to accommodate those of us patiently waiting to find an item or have him help us at the register. He did it with the utmost professionalism and smile on his face. Was disappointed that they seem to be short stocked on a lot of the items that are on the end caps right near the door things that you would normally expect to find period example flashlights for emergency or for those of us that are homeless that kind of thing is an absolute necessity.

Review №33

This store used to be great over the last 20+ years - local, decent well-rounded selection, and friendly staff.On my recent visit during a break - and who doesnt like to browse a sporting goods store for ideas - I was minding my own business scouting new product categories along with items Ive been shopping for, when this older bald guy with glasses (manager?) asked if I had any questions. Apparently, he might be hard of hearing or not having a good day because he (with a frown and almost angry voice) kept asking me to repeat my questions which I did very clearly, and then answered in an impolite brusque manner. It would have better if he just didnt bother to ask for questions if he was going to ruin my day with his condescending passive aggressive answers. He again asked several minutes later in a different part of the store with the same results.

Good place 4 finding brand name items. Knowledgeable staff. Always offer coupons so try to have one with u. If they dont have your size, they will call other branches.

Review №35

I purchased a bike from this store, and the clerk told me that there would be tools in the box. He also told me that I cannot take a look at it until I purchased the bike. After purchasing the bike and opening the box, there was no tools in the box, and there was no tools inside the store as well. While trying to assemble the bike, the clerk helped me half way and just walked away and never came back.

As many of the Big 5 stores these days, seems somewhat outdated and less if an inventory than most sporting goods stores

My basketball went flat. Even after looking online there is just something about going, looking an item over, holding it in your hands and knowing you picked out a winner. For that reason, Big 5 is still the place to go.

Review №49

Good place for deals on sneakers, but its hit or miss. Often they wont have sizes, and its nearly impossible to get help here unless the place is deserted. You never can tell when it will be busy, tho. Been here at 8pm and 10 customers meant you wait 45min for sales people to help.
