I always love coming to Mountain High Outfitters whether it be this location, the one in the…read moreSummit, or the one in Cahaba Village. I feel like I see the most sales at this location. They tend to have off season items at up to 75% off which is great if you can find your size. This location also seems to have the most items in terms of variety and selection whereas at the other two locations you will often see each t-shirt in only one size left and no more in the back. Associates are always helpful here too.

Fantastic service!! A sales associate approached me as I was looking for a a specific shirt, and…read moreshe immediately took me to where the item was in the store. She was very pleasant and helpful! The store was well stocked with a full range of sizes and colors of every item I was looking to purchase from the clothing department. And they were running a great sale in Columbia items! The staff member who checked us out was engaging and efficient. My husband remarked that he plans to come to this store more after the great visit we had today!

I need a new pair of hiking shoes and want to stick to Merrill shoes…read more My spouse looked up this store and said they had lots in stock. Ok. Off I go! Well, they do have some Merrell hiking shoes, but only 10 pairs of women's. I counted what was in the shelf. Exactly ten. They don't have any 6 1/2 so I tried in a 6 and a 7. I need a 6 1/2, so I sat on the bench and ordered a pair online from the Merrell store. Frankly, the amount of women's hiking shoes and socks was dismal. Weird thing happened when I was sitting there. An employee, a white male heavy set probably in his 30's was talking to another employee kind of loudly saying "It is always the white middle age women I'm telling you. Always!" I am not sure what that was about, but as a white senior woman, that didn't sit well with me I left the store. My review is not about the comment, but lack of inventory. But the comment bugs me.

First time experience at BW for me and was looking forward to dinner with a longtime friend. The…read morewaiter was so nice and very attentive. The food was average (wings and fries) it was around 5:30/6:00 on a Thursday so the restaurant was pretty empty. After our meal, we sat there and chatted for 20 minutes (maybe) when our sweet waiter asked that we should basically take our conversation elsewhere. I could tell he was very uncomfortable asking us to leave but I was MORTIFIED. If there was a crowd waiting to be seated - ok fine, but there was not. If we were loud - ok fine, but we were not. We are two older ladies catching up on life. I don't care if the food was wrapped in gold and danced around the table...I will not be going back. Our waiter was told to ask us to leave by management (convinced of it)

I visited Big Whiskey's for dinner and made a point to arrive approximately an hour and a half…read morebefore their posted closing time, expecting full menu service. After being seated in the bar area, we were informed by our server that only appetizers were available. This was both confusing and disappointing, as it does not align with reasonable expectations for a restaurant still open for regular business. If the kitchen is no longer able or willing to prepare full menu items well before closing, that policy should be clearly communicated--either through adjusted hours or by informing guests upon arrival. Otherwise, it creates the impression of inconsistent operations or a lack of coordination between management and staff. Situations like this suggest a need for clearer operational standards, better communication, and stronger staff alignment with customer service expectations. Guests should not feel discouraged from dining simply because they arrive within what should be standard service hours. Overall, the experience reflects an opportunity for improvement in both management practices and customer hospitality.

This particular location of Dick's Sporting Goods is located in nice wall with plenty of parking and an overall safe feeling. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and this was an overall very positive experience. I have been a fan of Dick's Sporting Goods for a few years now. I seem to use them more around the holidays as a resource for gifts and every time around christmas, I have to wonder allowed why I don't come in here more when it's not gift giving season. All in all, I would definitely recommend this particular location of Dick's Sporting Goods. It is in a great shopping plaza with plenty of parking, the store is attractive and well stocked and the staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. This adds up to a winning combination.

Despite juggling a nonstop flow of customers and all the usual managerial responsibilities, she took the time to help me personally select and size the perfect Ruffwear life jacket for my pup.

Her leadership at this location is obvious--everything runs smoothly, the team is helpful, and the vibe is always welcoming. Emily is a total rockstar and a tremendous asset to REI. I can't say enough good things--she's the reason I keep coming back.
