  • Richard Smith

Extremely helpful and very knowledgeable employees. It's nice to ask questions and get real answers or referred to someone who is more knowledgeable in a particular area of equipment. Yes the cost is a little more than say Amazon but you also can walk out with what you need. Dont always have everything from online but what store does

  • Alex Park

We went within an hour of closing for last minute boot shopping for a trip. Mark helped us out and he was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was very patient and helpful in getting us the right hiking boots and showing us the proper method of tying our boots and helping us find a perfect fit for our needs.

  • Gerritt Bloch

Jade and Mary were absolutely wonderful. My wife and I came to this location to check out a garage sale tent and they helped us set it up in store to ensure the item had no damage and even gave us helpful tips on how to assembly and disassemble it. Thanks Mary and Jade for being so helpful.

  • Jack Greer

Got some snow pants as a gift went to exchange them for correct size and they wouldn’t do it unless I had a receipt. It was a gift. Was able to have the person who gave it to me send me the email confirmation receipt but need better return policy. It had the original tag and everything.

  • Ben Forte

I LOVE REI and their products however at this location, the shoe sales dept has been less than helpful. On three occasions I have tried to buy shoes. Each time I have left due to lack of sales support and knowledge of shoes. I wait until I'm at a different REI or shop online.

  • Rudolph “The World Inspector”

Cool store, but not sure why they wont let pets in since its an outdoors shop. It’s like a thing right. You take your dog for a walk, grab ice cream and they buy some gear at REI. Anyways, I would easily spend so much more money here if they let pets in is all I am saying

  • Travis Pounders

Rude cashier when I asked about price matching. “You can drive down to the other store if you want it cheaper”. Yikes. If they would have matched the $10 cheaper tag then I would have signed up for the membership as well. Seems like a bad strategy. Oh well.

  • Quentin LeBlanc

Great customer service from Sebastian. He helped me find the running socks I was looking for and was very knowledgeable about the products they offered. He was also polite and pleasant to talk to. 90 day return policy on items that don't work out for you.

  • Lesly Roman

Zachary at the front was so kind and welcoming! He helped me with such grace and I didn’t get the young mans name at the shoe department but he was very helpful too! I love coming here for my extracurricular needs because everyone is so kind!

  • Sarah Silva

Rebecca and Carl! You guys are phenomenal! I just sent in an email to your store manager about my experience last week. Everyone on staff is always so kind and professional and knowledgeable. Last week Carl and Rebecca went above and beyond

  • Doug Cline

Went in for some running shoes. Their staff was so very helpful. We needed trail shoes and they had a good selection. We even got some for our daughter. She enjoyed trying them out on the rock structure they use to test grip of shoes with.

  • Trenton

Disappointed, very poor experience over the phone twice in a row. No friendliness but instead rushed, stressed and annoyed responses from the women responding to the calls. I'm contacting you because I want to spend over a thousand dollars

  • Alex Temple

I love REI and will always buy my outdoor gear from them, but the customer service at this location is lacking. It takes a while for a salesperson to ask if you need help. They often times can’t seem to really help you with questions about

  • daniel Du Bois

Bought two of the same shoe because they didn’t stock my size. Wanted to compare two different sizes and return one after I try it. Had them both shipped to the store. The cashier told me they would both be at the store so I can return one

  • Christopher Wall

I had a horrible experience ordering online, they seem to be unable to cancel an online order, until it gets to the store then you can cancel. I have never heard or seen a website that will not let you cancel an order that has not shipped

  • Fernando Covas

Knowledgeable and helpful staff and wide variety of products for any sort of activity you could want. The store brand of clothing and other products is very good, and significantly cheaper than bigger brand names. Checkout can be slow. Do

  • Ben C

Always a pleasure going in the store. Greetings at the door and asked if I needed help finding anything. The staff are very knowledgeable about the gear and if they aren't they're quick to direct someone you that knows. I was not sold the

  • Melody Roberts

Every time I enter their doors a feeling of peace washes over me. Steve (older gentleman on the floor staff) was called to help me by the cashier (I don't recall his name). Both provided exceptional customer service. I went in with an REI

  • Stephanie Tillman

This store's front counter staff, compared to the REI stores across the country, & even versus this location's past, is now a low cross between Walmart & a SwapMeet: Snarky, incompetent (re REI policies), & flippant cashiers. The internal

  • CATALINA CURIEL

I love coming into this store. I can find just about everything I need for our camping trips. Today I was helped by 3 individuals 2 of which gave us 110% customer service and were very polite. One of them gave us the customer service but

  • Nat Rose

I love coming here to shop for my hiking gear and outfit. I have a membership, and when I buy things from here, my items are uploaded into my membership account. If I lose my receipt, I have a copy of my purchases online. They have sale

  • alexis young

super cool store! all of the workers were kind, asking us things like” what kind of trip are you planning?”. you could tell everyone there enjoyed talking to the customers about camping trips, biking trips etc. i must day though, pretty

  • Sonido Bacteria

Yesterday my girl and I went to this location, we went on the goal to acquire new shoes for biking. We arrived, a lady assisted us to getting our shoe size, but said we needed to wait for Hannah who knows more about the subject than she

  • Sara Bailey

Horrible treatment from one cashier. I had to return a water bottle because it was defective. I told him I didn’t have a receipt because it was within the 30 days return policy. The item was less than $32. I showed them my bank account

  • David Knowles

Bought shoes on line. Too small. Called store and was told I could exchange them for correct size. Stored wanted to charge me $35 to exchange same shoe for a different size. Totally unacceptable. I will return shoes and shop elsewhere.

  • Skyler Stevens

Went to return a pair of climbing shoes that tore a large hole in the heel after barely a month of light indoor use for a beginner. Staff was very resistant to help and acted like it was our fault. Kept saying that climbing shoes are

  • Bernardo Engelke

Great store for gear for outdoor activities. I have bought most of my gear for camping and hiking there. And I do not regret of a single item. They also great sales from time to time, specially for members. Staff is also very helpful.

  • Rachael Logue

I went in today to check out some climbing shoes, I've never visited the store before. I didn't end up buying anything but I came here specifically to shout out the above and beyond customer service by Tracy and Hannah. They were

  • philip verdieck

Stopped in to get a couple things. Had helpful assistance when needed. Great time of day (about 1), no wait. Snagged an item from the clearance tracks, which are always worth a look and usually good for a laugh.

  • Alex LaPiana

Don't come here for shoes. Their covid policy makes buying shoes ridiculous process of waiting in line while no one is in the section. I think their sales folk are enjoying the newly found power a bit too much

  • Dan Bolta

Cashiers get pretty backed up on weekends. Appreciate how hard the floor people are working, cause it’s super tight in the back, and hauling a mountain bike off an overhead rack is not easy.

  • J. Alan

Who doesn’t love a good REI store?? While this ain’t the biggest I’ve seen, people here are alway nice and friendly. I can spend hours buying stuff I didn’t know I needed. Love it!

  • Israel Thompson

Great quality gear here, but be prepared to pay a premium price tag. Staff are all friendly and cordial. This is one of my favorite places for outdoor equipment. Hands down.

  • D Buck

Very knowledgeable staff and great service. Great products. The staff made an error resulting in a $160 shipping fee. I called when I got home and they fixed it immediately.

  • Amith Ram

What's not to love about REI? This location is awesome just like every other location. Phenomenal service, items are organized well and great selection. Highly recommend!

  • Sarcastic Cynic

They followed me around the store keeping an annoying close eye on me like I was a common criminal; they also kept pestering me about their membership benefits.

  • Christine

A great place for outdoors supplies. Hiking, biking, running camping. High end, well constructed clothing footwear equipment. And extremely helpful staff

  • Aivory Lagto

CHECKING MY REVIEW IN 2023 AND IT HAS BEEN HIDDEN BY GOOGLE. We got profiled and had all the employees asking if we were doing okay. We were

  • Jesse Reed

Exceeded expectations. Jobanny is a fine representative for the store and would make a great employee for any company. Steve is a rock star!

  • Mark Nesslage

Great store. One of the sales associates, Dario, is always extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I always seek him out if I have questions.

  • George Ankar

Always loved REI. Seems to have way more of what I need over Academy. Not saying I don’t like Academy, just prefer REI sometimes.

  • Samuel Smiley

Good store. Lots of camping and bike related stuff. Quality on the high end. Good for climate and sport specific clothing.

  • Heather Gamber

A big thank you to Hannah and Sebastian for their help with a kayak purchase and installation on our small car.

  • Nate Church

Fantastic service, huge store, massive selection, and great brands. Happy with my shopping experience here!

  • Hossein Mohammadizadeh

If you're looking for high end hiking or rock climbing gear check out REI at Voss and Westheimer !

  • Maggie Friedemann

Great service with a wide selection of camping and hiking gear. Membership has been worth it.

  • Georgiy Kolo

I really liked this store, I found a lot of quality things in it that I wanted to buy.
