    Newly strung tennis racket
    Patrick K.

    It was my first time visiting First Serve Tennis for my racket restring, and Francis was really nice. He also got my racket done by the promised time. Totally recommended!

    Kinda disappointed. Tried to check out the shop before work but wasn't able to. Store signs, automated voicemail and the staff at The Paseo Club all said 9am. It's now 9:26 and no signs of life. Another staff member who was passing by asked if I was waiting for the shop to open. I said yes and she laughed and said they're always late. How late I wonder? 30min seems like a long time and if staff members know this... seems like it's bad habit. Hopefully they're open on my lunch break which is at 2pm.

    Love my new Nikes!!

    I am so glad I found this local tennis shop on Yelp. The customer service, prices and selection of shoes and racquets is great. The staff is highly knowledgable, personable and helpful. I came in with the intention to try on shoes, in particular the Nike Zoom Tour 9.5. I was semi deterred by the price tag ($140 same as online), so Bryan "the shoe guy" recommended shoes more in my budget. I settled on the Adidas Barricade. I initially liked the feel, but when I got home and walked around in them I realized I didn't love them. (A bit too much cushioning and bulk for me). I brought the Adidas back and Bryan gave me a full refund. He again showed me more options. I loved the Nikes the most and decided it was worth it. And after playing in them a couple of times, I know I made the right choice. I will definitely be back!! Thanks First Serve Tennis!

    Great string job! My Babolat Pure Aero with Babolat RPM Blast Rough. Thank you First Serve Tennis!

    While other staff were accommodating and welcoming, after being asked by Mikey (who was very kind)…read moreif we "needed any help" we were, what I can only describe as accosted, by who I presume is the manager of the establishment (tucked in dress shirt, older, noticeably hiding agitation) He burst through the a door behind us and barely hiding his suspicion, in a stern tone said "do you guys need any help?" at us after we were attempting to realign a product we knocked over. Mind you, we were carrying product that we purchased shortly after but for whatever reason this gentleman found it necessary to march out and essentially throw a thinly veiled accusation at us. It's very clear he thought we were attempting to shoplift and without valid reason. I implore that this person do better in the future. I won't be returning to this store and will be telling others about my experience here.

    Sadly we came to Big 5 to purchase some fishing supplies. While they do have a fishing equipment…read moredepartment, the inventory was very low. They did not have any leadcore line and had very limited choices of needle fish. We are right in the middle of fishing season and it would be nice to see a sporting good's store with a decent amount of inventory. The sales associate in the front of the store greeted us when we arrived and wished us a good day. This store is located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking even though it is a busy parking lot.

    My review is about ALL the branches in California not one specific store and trust me if a good…read moredeal is offered on consignment I will drive. As with any retailer some locations are better than others but apparently corporate is stupid! I have purchased from Bakersfield South. I am a Retired Police Officer. LEOSA, HR 218, California CCW. There are certain things I am exempt from with the main one being California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 36021, active and retired peace officers are legally exempt from California's 11% firearm and ammunition excise tax. 36021(a) explicitly exempts retail sales of firearms, firearm precursor parts, and ammunition made to any active or retired peace officer. They just have to complete a form. I have gone into three locations only to argue with Managers and forcibly take my documents back. Could it get more fun? YOU BET IT CAN! Sales tax is NOT Standard in California depending on the City involved. (Pasadena 10.5, Reseda 9.75, Bakersfield 8.25) Not huge UNLESS you are charged the California Excise tax as well. Add 11% a $1000 firearm can set you back $1300 before you get out the door. Add Ammunition, ANOTHER 11% its per sale and separate items per California. If still with me, You Rock. Ruger stopped making a firearm I wanted!! Once the old, new factory was back on line there it was BUT not California compliant. (Ruger does not make State Compliant Firearms. They SHIP with compliant magazines but sillyness like fin grips is up to the reseller or their third party to furnish) Big whoop. On sale, Californication compliant, stupid fin grip but it may be two more years to come back. "ADD TO CART" Oh gee, excise tax is automatic so I called On Line sales support. TIM ROCKS!!!! The guy had no idea about any of what I have mentioned like most of their employees. (Excise tax, different sales tax rates in the same State and COUNTY.) The excise tax is $100 and may take months to be refunded because the purchase went through corporate not a branch. Turners needs better District Managers that know more than how to pull a trigger or sell something G Day All

    If I could rate this place ZERO stars I would. You guys fucking suck. I waited 30 minutes trying to…read moreshop for a handgun with only one other person in the store the whole time and I didn't even get asked a question. Originally I thought that there was only one person on that server, so I was patiently waiting my turn until some guy walked in and the employee yelled his name and they dab each other up and he asked him what gun he wanted. Extremely unprofessional I will actually never go back there. You guys fucking suck. Way to lose a high paying customer I was interested in the desert eagle.

    I generally leave reviews for restaurants and never would I thought I'd be leaving one for a tackle…read moreshop but I couldn't justify not leaving one. I wish I can give it 100 stars. The professionalism and customer service was outstanding. As a casual amateur fisher-dad that doesn't want to disappoint the kids (and wife lol) every time we go fishing, I would like to sincerely thank this shop and the staff that assisted our visit here last Sunday. Not only did we feel welcomed, we were taken care of with genuine kindness and helpful information. I wish I remembered the employee's name, he was the only one there on a Sunday morning, but he was excellent. He helped answer all the questions we had about our fishing trip to Castaic Lake for the first time. He showed us all the recommended baits/lures/tackles, educated us on different casting setups, and took the time to show us how to efficiently and effectively tie everything together. With his recommended products and setup (that he helped put together) on my daughter's toy fishing pole, she caught her first fish (bass!) within 10minutes of being on the boat. At the end of the half-day fishing trip she caught 2 and the wife caught 1 all with the products that he recommended. Not too bad for first timers there on a "slow" day! Thank you Tackle Express! We'll definitely come back for our next fishing trip.
