The staff was so friendly, prices were…read morefairly fair and I would say the selection of overall food was fair or better than competitors, especially for being right around the corner of the visitor center and so close to one of the main overlooks of the Gorge. I dropped a few pay checks here on merch, like tshirts, jewelry, signs, magnets, stickers, Christmas ornaments, postcards, etc... They got it all! Highly worth your time and a quick tripod , while you're at the Gorge There's also an icecream / cafe thing connected, and you don't want to miss that! Unless you can't have dairy, then maybe you do! Anyways, I can't rave about this place enough. Buyer beware: there's too many good options. If you fall victim to being indecisive, on a budget, impulsive, or anything in between, I highly encourage you to go with a pal, find a bear, consult a mountain lion, have a park ranger escort your shopping - just DO NOT go in here alone.

We rented four kayaks from Lakeside Outfitters today, including two for our children, and honestly,…read morewe were very disappointed. The adult kayaks had no ropes, tie-downs, or any way to secure personal belongings. These weren't just missing a few extras--the kayaks were extremely basic and bare. Without a way to secure your belongings, items can easily fall out of the kayak and be lost in the water. When we asked about ropes or tie-downs, we were told there was nothing available. We made do with what we had, but we shouldn't have had to. For a family renting four kayaks, we expected better. Based on today's experience, we would not use or recommend Lakeside Outfitters to our friends or family. There are other rental shops that can provide a better-equipped experience, so I would strongly recommend looking at those options before renting here.

We were looking at the map and had read the website, but thought that we might just have to "transport" (walk) them across the street to the lake, but NO, there is NO lake access at the Outfitters. Luckily we had called that morning to verify and had enough cars to transport all of the kayaks we needed. They said that they aren't allowed to transport them since the state owns the lake. They provide straps and help you get them on your car and strapped on, but pay attention because you'll have to do it yourself when you bring them back. It was a bit challenging but we managed to do it without any of them flying off of our cars. Definitely get there early before your rental time so you can get everything loaded. We put in at Salmon Run and had a great time on Summersville Lake! The store itself has lots of different items you'd need for a day at the lake or camping.

We went thru every box near the particular shoe and couldn't find it anywhere. However, online it showed there was 1 pair left in the correct color and size. As we were heading to leave the store, Andrew approached us in a different section of the store and asked if we needed any help. I told him what I was looking for and he immediately went back to the shoe section and within 2 minutes he'd found the shoes we looked for for almost an hour! They were in a spot high up on a shelf and totally away from the display shoe. Andrew was so friendly and quick to help! It absolutely made my day to have him find the shoes we'd given up on finding! Please let Andrew know he's appreciated and awesome! Thanks!

I would like to start this review off by saying that if I could rate this DICK's store 0/5 stars, I…read morewould. I have never had such a terrible experience with store employees. My mom and I were at my local mall shopping for school clothes and we had decided to stop by DICK's to see if they had any sales or just overall good deals on items that I would be interested in buying. One of the main things that I had wanted to purchase was a pair of Nike joggers, so I went to the female Nike section and was immediately drawn to a pair of thermal, gray sweats. It just so happened to be that these jogging pants were marked down to $38.99, according to the clearance sticker that they had attached to their tag. My mom and I decided to go ahead and purchase these pants along with two other items. After we made it through the first half of the checkout process everything went downhill. The employee told us that our total was more than it should have been, so my mom asked how much our items had rang up for and the prices were correct until we got to the pants. The employee then proceeded to inform us that the pants had rang up as $50.99. My mom and I told her that they were supposed to cost $38.99 and she had another employee go look at the tags on the other pairs of pants to see if they were the same price. The employee who was looking at the other pant tags walks back to the register and says that the only pair of pants that are marked down are the ones that we are checking out. My mom tells both of the employees that she will just take the other two items that we had purchased, but the cashiers completely disregard that she is even talking to them and start talking amongst themselves about how something about the situation that was taking place was strange and that they needed to call for a manager. At this point, they were flat out insinuating that my mother and I had switched the tags on the pants and another item to try and steal a few dollars from the store. The cashiers gave us dirty looks and made several sly comments toward us, one example being: "They sure did get a "steal" deal on these.," referring to the pants. We ended up receiving the pants for their listed price, but we have never felt so disrespected in our lives. I spend a lot of money at this store, but I refuse to step foot in it ever again.
