Got a fun Frisbee, my knife pablito, and my favorite fishing rod from there

After going to every store in Santa Barbara that sold shoes this was the best place. Conner and the other sales associates were the most helpful and friendly sales people I have talked to in months. We had them look for easily 15 different shoes to try on due to some unique challenges and they were fast, patient, and thorough all while helping other customers. We wound up getting multiple pairs.

TYPICAL BIG5 STORE. HAS OPTIONS but SOME ITEMS ARE SOLD OUT or NOT AVAILABLE. GOOD PRICES. DECENT SERVICE...(NOT LIKE OTHER BIG 5s WHERE ALL THE EMPLOYEES DISAPPEAR WHEN YOURE LOOKING FOR THEM)

It went well. The store is well stocked and they have plenty of store employees walking around to answer your questions.

Thas a good place to stop along the coast, Highway 1 Santa Monica and have some Good Asian food.

Staff was friendly and quick to get me what I needed from the store.

I love the prices and selection. Today, I was trying on shoes. Omar was very helpful, brought out lots of shoes and even tried to order a couple pair for me from the Ventura store. The best customer service ever!

Great Place I got the exact boots I needed.

Had ping pong stuff, gg. Would give 6/5 if i could

Nice Big Five! It has ample parking and has supplies for all the usual sporting needs. They have a good selection of shoes although limited on sizes. Trying to find someone in the shoe department to help you is difficult sometimes. They do offer some good sale prices on shoes.

Cozy 50x70 inch throws/blankets on sale. Reg price $17.99. $10 off.This is what my soon to be 4 yr old grandson chose.Its a hot day and my intention was summer water 🔫, but hey who am I to deprive him of a $8 sale item lol.

Basically dont go here if youre a woman. We get a picked over corner of clothes to shop through, all shorts with no pockets! Yay! unorganized and barely any sizes, tiny selection of shoes. Dont worry if your make tho! You get the whole store!

Staff are super friendly here!

Good price with coupon. Friendly and good service.

Had exactly what I needed a tire tube to fix my bicycle tire, however I fixed the damaged tube and will return my purchase.

If your looking for bait, or just to find good hunting equipment, is definitely a great place to check

I wasnt sure what to expect but this store knows what they are doing. I work in retail too and they are following all the guidelines and making it safe for everyone. I went in looking for 2 specific items and had to ask for help. I had excellent customer service from everyone I talked to. I did purchase those 2 things I very much needed. My only regret is that I dont have the names of the 3 staff members that assisted me.

Great sale got two pairs of shoes for casual wear.

Always great customer service...

I have been shopping here since I was a child.

Too cluttered. No room for social distancing when trying on shoes. There was dog poop out in front and manager didnt seem concerned about it when brought to his attention. On the plus side, my return was easy, simple and quick and was credited back to my bank card. No hassles.

I was super suprised on the great deals they had for Hiking boots. Went in when they were about to close, but their customer service was more than excellent. Left with 3 pair of shoes and really happy. Great experience. Thank u Big 5!!!!!

Big 5 Sporting Goods has a unique selection of items.Merchandise that is very practical and useful, especially for those of us who are interested in athletic wear and sporting/camping equipment.Best of all; are the sales given every week and descriptions are available to peruse in Sunday circular or online.Amazingly, these sales prices are even better by the one day deals.The one day deals are emailed daily, the day before they are availableSales associates have always been pleasant, accommodating and helpful.A visit is highly recommended.

Great selection of sporting goods.

I shop big 5 for yoga clothes.Every year they have a good sale on good yoga clothing and cross trainers. The store is always clean and well stocked. Staff are well mannered and product knowledgeable.

Great prices. Most the time there in stocks. Great sales on fire arms knifes shoes etc.

Big 5 sporting goods it was clean well-organized are the people that are very helpful and besides waiting line to get in which is understandable with the whats going on prices are great I got my mom three pairs of shoes that I could normally not afford their on sale for $25 a piece and I got myself a radar detector the few other things for summer coming up and I was extremely happy and would recommend it highly to other people thank you very much

Great prices and even better quality! If you feel that it is a little overpriced, just go online and you can find coupons instantly.

Its a small sporting goods store but conveniently located with plenty of parking. They have a good selection of goods for most sporting and camping activities. The quality of the goods is average but the prices are economical (compared the higher end stores). The main attraction is the good selection of athletic shoes at very low prices (if they have your size). But, getting a sales associate to help you can sometimes take forever.

Good store but they need better customer service

Nice place. They seem to have a Great selection of mens shoes! But, small selection of womens shoes I didnt find anything for myself but, will let my male friends know they have good prices and great selection of mens shoes

Theyre staying alive as the only sporting goods store in Santa Barbara area. Manager was very helpful with a return, which means Ill keep coming back

Need to teach your employees some customer service. Found the guy covering the shoes rude and not very helpful. If you are going to have someone get the shoes from the back, train them some manners. People who like people is always a good start.The seating for trying on shoes is a joke. There were 8 of us, with shoeboxes, trying to try on the shoes, crammed together on this small, plastic chair bench. No real space to move. Not a great experience.

I love this place it has good sports equipment.

Big 5 Sporting Goods is located in the Five Points Shopping Center, on upper State Street and La Cumbre. They have changed their store recently. The store used to have space to move around in. The store used to sell large sports equipment, it doesnt anymore. Although, they may online. The store is very tightly packed now and movement in the store is challenging. Although they had the item I sought, they didnt carry the size I needed. The have lots of sports (athletic) clothing and shoes for all ages. They have pretty good prices. They have great sales, check the Santa Barbara News Press on Sundays for their sales ads.

What can I say about Big5? Everything Sports and Outdoor/Camping related is right here. Best prices & selection for shoes/boots. They have been doing this kind of business for decades. Cant beat their prices or selection. Very highly recommended.

In Santa Barbara you dont have a lot of sporting good stores, so Big 5 is it. Overall, good store, nice selection of goods,and the prices seem to be in line.Parking is EZ and the service is fine. I always find what Im looking for.

My boyfriend and I were looking for last minute gifts. The staff never asked if we needed help. There were four staff members. The manager David was standing by the register socializing with the female cashier. One of our items was missi4 the tag. She told me to go get another one. I didnt know where it was. She was very rude. We told the manager and he said he is just one of the managers. He said nothing. It was a terrible experience.

Nice staff. Hung in there through the shut down. Thank you!

Very helpful

Did not find what I was looking for but good selection of sporting goods.

This place has very low prices for decent quality, I bought a pair of work boots from here for $35 dollars and they took 5 months of high mileage and very demanding work as I am,a big guy. They have a wide range of products to choose from and are located close to many other shops, there is adequate parking apace even when it is busy and nearby bus stops.

Has everything for sports and camping!!!

Seems as if the computers are always slow to the Government website for licensing (sorry we just got a new system), but, that happens everytime I get my fishing license.If it were me, I would refer fishing licenses to the gun counter were there are no exiting customers with merchandise.I would investigate their modems to make sure there is no packet crashing due to intinuation.Being a computer expert, this is what I suspect. But, as unusual there will be other issues like dial-up modem use vs high-spd cable or other links. Most usually are the RJ-45 cable is longer than 100 feet without a booster.JM2C

I was about to visit Yosemite and was looking for some gear. This place got it all, i asked for help and one of the guy in the staff was super friendly and he helped me find my stuff. Thankyou Big 5.

Great store. Sometimes you have to ask for help but the staff has always been willing to help and or found someone knowledgeable that can answer my questions. Great return policy, bring the receipt and theyll help you out (no time limit).

I love this place since I am sporty man .I think from fishing licences and clothing

Friendly staff. Thank you all

Nice store with good selection of sporting goods. Store is a little on the small side but well stocked. Easy parking on the side of building. Very friendly staff.

The fact that they were open was paramount.Needed shoes badly and grabbed a couple other thingsYay

Great products for outdoor and athletic wear. Great prices snd best return policy ever! Staff are nice too.

Very helpful,came back & bought a second pair in different color.Thank you

Log gone are the days of large big box sporting goods stores. But Big-5 stood the test of time and survived. Big-5 is one of the only places in the santa barbara area to purchase sporting goods . They have a little bit of everything.

Always has what Im looking for get discounts

One of the best places to buy sleeping bags in Santa Barbara. The store displays both unfolded and packed sleeping bags for each model. This helped me choose the right material and the right size (when packed). There are discount coupons /codes available online too.

New good deals on Nike, New Balance, also some deals on other brands around $25 - $35.

Good year-end bargains, limited inventory

I had a GREAT experience. I was looking for a camping tent.The young lady was very helpful so I bought a nice Coleman tent.Very happy. Thanks.

Average sporting goods store. Below average inventory. Decent prices. Smallish store. Below average shoe inventory. Just OK but good if you absolutely need something immediately.

Meh. Bit crowded. Lots of merch not much room.

Great store were lucky to have it. Best place to get shoes, and your on sale Mini-14

Hey Big 5, plus size women like to wear cute work out clothes too.

Today Sunday I went in to buy a mask and snorkel for my son the lady working there didnt know where that equipment was and so then I just bought my product and then she couldnt get my credit card to work in her machine so her manager Ryan Myers came over and I told him that she didnt know where the masks and snorkels were nor could she operate the machine Ryan Myers finish the transaction once I left the store he followed me out to talk to me, I told him I was out of time, he then told me to never return. It is obvious that Ryan Myers does not want to train the new girl.......so sor for this big five.

Always good deals

They often have sales. Sign up for email notices.

Had what I was looking for. Good prices

Cheap hear, best part is athletic shoes. Not always as knowledgeable as more specialized stores for other outdoor equipment

Good selection & prices. Very helpful staff.

The selection and prices at Big 5 are better than most other Sporting Goods stores. The staff is kind and friendly and help you find what you are looking for. Sales are ongoing and what you want is normally in stock or they will order it for you.

Not the largest store, but good to have in a town with few options. Friendly, helpful staff as well.

Lots of stuff. Great help. Hard not to want everything

For a relatively small store theyve got just about everything you could want.

Best for exersice equipment and work shoes is what I go for other than that I wont go anywhere else for my footwear.

This place has been here a long time. Excellent prices and inventory on shoes and camping and sporting gear.

Love there selection. Good prices too

Cluttered...not much help available

Good variety of gear, nice service too

Good sports store for getting athletic shoes on sale. I normally wait for such sales in order to get my brand name tennis shoes at significantly discounted prices.

Finally found the shorts I wanted with the help of the salesperson.

Last of the sporting good store! Everyone helpful

This location at Five Points is so disorganized finding anything is frustrating. I realize sale items are dug through by bargain shoppers but nothing is easy to find here. Needs more staff and needs regular cleaning.

Love all their active wear

Great prices on their daily specials

Good prices and discounts.

Mostly cheap stuff. Good for some items.

Great people, lots of things, something is missing.

Decent sporting goods store. Always seems to have everything I need

Its a good outdoor store

One of the last chain stores to carry firearms..

You really need to know what you want before you come in. The store is small and the employees not terribly helpful. I got here for sporting clays and theyre stored in a bunch of Hodge podge areas.

Great deal on bballs!

Good prices for shoes!

Good selection of merchandise, location is good too.

They really dont have a great selection of bike accessories and never seem to have what Im looking for. The staff only helps customers that ask for it, and when they do, it seems as if its a bother.

Great customer service, clean, and fast checkout.

Got a GREAT price on what I was looking for !

A rather large sporting goods store. Good prices.

Big 5 was square . Got some stuff for daughters fishing trip

Has just about everything. Shoe prices are great!

Staff is always very helpful.
