The service at this place is excellent. I didnt even buy my rig there, but when I come in with questions or need help with something the staff is always quick with some helpful guidance. Nice to know that for a novice like myself, there is a place like this.

While not a giant hobby store, theyll get what you want and have a little of everything. The guys working there are extremely friendly and helpful with answering any questions you may have! I will definitely be back to pick up more fun things to build!

It was nice to find a hobby place besides the one other popular hobby place in town.This place is more for the serious hobbyist then the average crafter. But they had a selection of paints and colors unavailable at the larger more popular store.It was refreshing to walk into a place and actually find what I wanted instead of hearing frustrating reasons why they dont have something or cant get it.And the staff at Hobby Hut were very knowledgeable. They spoke from experience not conjecture, so I felt confident in my purchase.I intend to return to expand both my supplies and experience.

They were super helpful! the person I talked to when I got in was able to help me pick out upgraded parts and replacements for my traxxas car within 15min! Super impressed with their knowledge and I took their advice on certain parts and that was an amazing decision!

Its primarily a place for model trains, cars, and planes. However youll find some cool, unusual board games, miniatures (with paint), some small scale electronic kits, etc. There is also a small selection of roleplaying books. Worker was friendly too.

Everything you could ever want in models, drones, train sets, accessories and more. The staff offered excellent help. Got advice from a staff member named Addison who really took the extra time to help us and is extremely knowledgeable. One stop for all your hobby-related needs, but caring enough to take the time to help individual customers. Highly recommend!

Nice staff. Excellent selection of hard to find items. Generally clean store, good COVID response. Would love for it to get bigger, but they do a lot with the space they have, which is much appreciated. No complaints. :)

Great store and a lot of items for the small venue. Its nice to be able to support a local (ish, I live an hour north) hobby shop. The expertise they have was instrumental for someone starting out in model railroading. Prices are good too for a local shop, even had some locomotives at a steep discount (including a Union Pacific Big Boy that was $150 lower than MSRP) You can tell the employees are passionate about their hobbies and I often lose track of time. Matt helped me out with building techniques and wiring. Even helped me when I explained I was getting kinks in my flextrack, which seems to be a common issue with new hobbyists. Going again tomorrow and I know I will not be disappointed!

Its been 20 years since I used one and they helped bring me up to speed and pointed out a few items on sale that I missed.Im glad youre here!

I took my son there to get parts for his RC car and was completely talked down to and the associate rolled his eyes at me. I had to say what brand it was or they couldnt even help us. I realize its not a $3,000 RC vehicle but really...there was no need to be disrespectful and rude just because we dont spend thousands of dollars on toys. All in all, they were unhelpful and we ended up ordering our parts online. Also, way to make a child feel like his toy is unimportant.

Review №38

Ive been to a lot of hobby stores and this one was the most unfriendly establishment Ive been to. I read reviews online prior to stopping by and unfortunately, I got the complete opposite. On 6/22/19, I came in with my girlfriend and received no greeting at all whatsoever. I took it in consideration that one of the employees was helping out a customer but the other couldve said something. After the customer left, another customer came in a few minutes later and received a warm greeting. Once I witnessed this (since the store is small), that gave the signal to leave. The customer came in quickly for a return and was gone before I left. Even as I left, they didnt even acknowledge me at all whatsoever. Although they didnt have many model airplanes, they had one Ive been looking for and was willing to buy it. However, I will not be purchasing from this place at all. Very Rude and simple customer service was distasteful. I will not return, regardless if they had what I want.

I went to Hobby Hut with my wife a week back, I was so excited to see the stuff, staff was very friendly and helpful, I just took a round of the shop saw the price of the cars and came out of the shop. Actually I need to buy remote control motorcycle which I didnt find it there, I think I will go one more time I might get something good.

Review №42

Extremely niche! Staff was helpful to those who needed help and respectful of those who like to take forever just digging through every little thing - like me. They know their consumer, of that you can be sure. Thank you, Hobby Hut, for creating such a unique store with both generally fun collectable products and shockingly specific products inside.

Go to place for model rockets. Love the selection and the people who work here are amazingly helpful. They also have a decent selection of board games, tabletop RPG books, and model painting supplies. It seems like model trains are their forte, about a third of the store is dedicated to them. Kinda makes me want to get into it.

If you are into surface vehicles, and model trains ect... great selection. Id say reasonable on prices. However the fixed wing aspect is lacking. Would be great if they had scratch build items such as props, motors, escs, push rods ect... I think that would appeal to alot of people like me. I would rather drive 45 miles and purchase something in person v.s. waiting for shipping. The hobby shops across the U.S. are slowly dwindling away. Id love to spend money here, just not much for fixed wing items is my only qualm. Overall they have a great selection of other items.
