I had a great experience at this location. I found exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for my items in a certain color, but I had an alternate color just in case. When I was looking online, a lot of locations didnt have my first choice of color in stock. Either way, I was able to get what I wanted at this location. One of the gentlemen working in the department was able to answer an important question that I asked so I really appreciated that.

Do not fall for the $15 off deal they’re going to offer you at this Academy. It’s a SCAM to gain your personal and financial information. They will renege on the offer by saying your application is under review, after they’ve scanned your ID and obtained other important information like your SS#. What they’re doing is unethical at best, downright illegal at worst, and the relevant agencies are being contacted to investigate.

This is one of my favorite locations. The best customer service. I never had to wait. I had one issue with a cashier being rude and the manager fixed that. The level of service regarding the pick up is on point. Very organized.

I am life long customer of Academy. I was very disappointed today. The store was fairly crowded and there were numerous employees on the sales floor, but only one register was open and the wait was upsurd.. I left rather than wait... Either open more check out lines, or get self check out lines.. Three stars because the gentleman I spoke to was very nice and very apologetic

Store hours are incorrect! I drove all the way to this location from Baytown due to an item I was needing showing available at this location. Arrived at 11:30pm store holiday hours show closing at 12am. Very frustrating. Seeing several other customers drive up and leave while Im writing this post. Please correct your hours.

I didnt shop today! But if Im in need of any sort of sporting goods, this is my #1 place to shop for it! Its the start of hunting season so I made a stop to pick up my hunting and fishing license and the latest copy of Texas Park & Wildlife OUTDOOR ANNUAL hunting, fishing and Boating Regulations handbook!

I like this location better than others in the surrounding area but I couldnt give it 5 stars because I bought a pair of shoes that were the wrong size on the inside of the box. The first pair in the same size looked like they were worn and returned so I just grabbed the next one in the same size(on the box), which I definitely shouldve looked inside the shoes first. Other than that, this location is pretty cool.

Always disapointed in their stock. There is always lots of XL and larger stock and never S through L. I think.their buyers are getting kickbacks or are mentally deficient.

Went online to academy to look for these types of rings for my hubby and i. Went into the store they had a good selection and our sizes! Only complaint is I walked in and someone greeted me, I asked her where the rings were and she pointed me in the right direction and told me someone was in the section to help me further. I walked around looking stupid because nobody was in the section to help me but I ended up finding them and serving myself. Fast checker and no line!

Not really any good deals at this location. The store was pretty crowded for lunch time and they had 2 registers open. SMH. They have to do better.

Apparently, Academy Sports has no dress code for employees. A tall skinny employee, with a man bun, was walking around with his pants down below his rear end. I did not appreciate it, since I had my daughter with me. I wont be back.

I went here to get tap shoes for my toddler because the ones I ordered from Amazon didnt fit and she needed them that same day.They had exactly what I needed and the salesperson was very very helpful. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Clean store and well appointed. My daughter wanted to look at the dance clothes but we were in a hurry. From what I saw they had a decent selection for a sports store. Not as much as an actual dance store would have, but they have much longer hours than dance stores. So if its last minute or in a pinch they are a good option. Well be back Im sure. Kid gets a new interest every week lol

I bit off more than I can chew when I bought a 10 fishing rod. Although it was my fault they allowed me to exchange for 66, hassle free & no restock fee. Academy is very customer friendly.

Final straw. They used to have a really helpful older gentleman in the fishing section. Since hes been gone, waddup kelly, the entire section is a mess. I dont know who is in charge of ordering but they must have zero product knowledge. Today was cool, childrens bikes were blocking half of the rods. Must have been ten bikes in the fishing section.

This used to be like a flagship store with everything you could need for the outdoors. Today I went in to get a Leatherman multitool. I looked around a lot had changed since last time I was here. Found knife isle and went on the hunt. Everything was limited or not in stock at all. I looked for a few more minutes,then went to clerk. He said they were on the isle I was on, on the left. I know I am getting older and I do miss things from time to time, but I could not find them or the empty hanger that would them with a price. Went on my own hunt and hit whats left of the ammunition row. Where? What? In a corner, with This ammo USED to be displayed here. But if your looking for clothes or like to fishing the store is just for you, not me anymore.

Academy overall is a good store that carries a wide range of sporting equipment. However, the sizing selection on shoes and boots is often picked-over or limited. Hunting gear is similarly limited on sizing, and the ammunition section is almost always out of stock. For a centrally located store, this Academy should be trying harder to maintain its stock.

Review №84

Academy website and store is completely useless. Might as well not even have a web presence. Online stock is so different than what the store actually has in stock, and thats with me filtering for in stock items only. This is the last time Ill waste any time coming to Academy. They tell you call first, but you can never get anyone on the phone... Like I said, completely useless store and website. Would give zero stars if I could. Save yourself the headache, go to a real sporting goods store.

Refused entry by gentleman saying he was the manager before the store was closed per hours posted online and outside of store. Is this common practice for Academy or was this employee just having a bad night? Not the way to treat a loyal customer whose been shopping here my whole life.This happened the evening of 12/2 if anyone who the manager reports to is reading this.
