Just stopped by to pick up ammunition. Thankfully no waiting online outside like 2020. The store is once again fully stocked with handguns and rifles. Last year was a stressful year and almost all weapons were sold out. The gentleman was the beard and tattoos usually takes my orders. Besides being knowledgeable he is very pleasant. The environment is laid back but business like. Handed me over magazines for rifles I forgot to pick up from last year, very cool of him to remember. Now is time to buy weapons and stock up on ammunition
Probably the best gun store in the bay right now. The manager is awesome. I forgot her name but the last 2 purchases I made there was an awesome deal. She matched the price of a gun store in Stockton which if you think about it, 2 different cost of living area. How can I go to another store if this store is like this everytime. Thank you Suburban Sporting Goods!
These guys are great, I used to go to another shop and the service wasnt as friendly, too corporate., They are knowledgeable and have a ton of options. Cool guys, good service. Ill keep coming here.
I went here precisely two months ago to purchase a firearm and was told there is no same day purchase, which I had done in 2015. I picked out my firearm and filled out the paperwork and was told that it should come back within two to three days. I waited and called two months later to be asked did I buy the firearm and that if I didn’t purchase there was no background check done, meaning someone lied and basically denied me the sale on the spot, which I understand they have the right to but did so in an underhanded manner and without good cause. I was asked to fill out paperwork for what exactly, the person who was handling my transaction was extremely dismissive and acted as if they didn’t care for my business. I will absolutely be going elsewhere. They are simply convenient because of their proximity to city. However, if your African American go elsewhere, where you’ll be treated with better customer service.
This is my spot! Best Selection by far and and cool staff
I came here with my husband who didn’t have a gun card so they made him wait by the door I was buying bullets to go to the gun range so he ask me how much they cost because he was paying for them so the man said he couldn’t sell them because I told him how much they was like no terrible people that works here so I went to Des Plaines Illinois they are way better in nice. people can come in without a gun card don’t need one just show they drivers license if anyone don’t like this place please go some where else like Maxon they are nice to people. I even told my mom not to go here this place wouldn’t get Business from me at all. The workers are mean also
Ive been purchasing firearms here for over 30 years. If you want knowledge, honest prices and old school men, this is your store.
Only place in Chicago area that I could find 22cal ammo for non location use. Hopefully that will change as we move forward.Also found a nice holster, IWB for S&W Airweight. I checked out the shirts, but 3XLT were out of stock,I’m 6’6” 276.The employees were polite and answered all my questions.Nice job, Thanks.
Went there and bought my first firearm. Staff was very helpful even when the firearm I bought turned it to be defective they were happy to exchange it for a different model for the difference in cost. Great place very professional will continue to go here for future purchases.
I purchased all my firearms ammo and accessories from there the staff there is very helpful and respectful they do there best to make sure you get what you looking for I will continue to shop there in the future
Paid $55 for transfer fee for a muzzle loader 12G pistol that was held for close to 4 weeks before ready for pick up! When I picked upped the gun it had crud in the crevices of the primer area and inside the Barrels as if fired. Customer service was lacking also! Will not use them in the future.
Horrible place, I felt discriminated against. Seems like they were more less talking me OUT of buying a gun then wanting me to purchase one. I’ll spend my money somewhere else, thank you for wasting my time! Go to Midwest Guns, better customer service and way better prices!!!
Horrible place to buy and terrible costumer service the attendants have bad attitude
Staff is very friendly and down to earth. Quite knowledgeable, answered all of my questions
Good service and knowledgeable staff. Even during non-Covid times, the inventory is a little thin. Over all, a good place to shop!
Of course with the pandemic they were out of alot of things but they are very patient and very knowledgeable about firearms and the company who makes them. I would recommend any NEWBIE to try here first.You guys are awesome 💪
Very nice store. The staff gave me a discount on ammo and other things i purchased. Highly recommended!!!!!
I felt as though they weren’t trying to sell me anything, but trying to size me Up as though I as though I had bad intentions. I was a first time buyer. I’m never returning here again. I do not recommend them. I felt like they could have been a lot more professional and a little less at easy. I understand there is a lot of stuff happening in the world we live in but not everyone has I’ll intentions ( need I specify).
Walked in to buy ammo with my husband. My husband didnt have a Foid so he was not allowed to be next to me. He had to wait by the door which I think is wrong. We walked in as paying customers. Not going back. Horrible service. Service is better at Article II. We felt discriminated just for being hispanic.
Worst gun store Ive ever been in. Do not go there! One of their workers took some parts of the rifle I purchased. When I complained, they called me a liar and said they dont want a customer like me... and basically told me to Buzz off. They advertise one thing, but sell you another.. when you complain, they tell you to go somewhere else. They do not accept returns, unless you pay them 25%. Bunch of thieves and scammers. Worst experience ever.
Me and my best friend went there 4 yrs ago and applied for our FOID card and had a good experience everyone was friendly. Fast forward to 6months ago I took my cousin in so she could apply and I ask if I have my gun shipped to his store and he got really nasty with me so needless to say I wont be going back
Bought my first gun from Suburban Sporting Goods online, went to the store to fill out paperwork, the staff there were very helpful in walking me through the entire process, and giving me advice on what type of accessories and ammo would be best for me. They also gave me a general timeline on background check, great place for a noob looking to buy their first firearm.
First time walking in was welcoming i wasnt sure in what i really wanted. Thanks to Dean for the helpful feedback on some of the pieces there i ended up getting what i needed for home defense. Fast and easiest no long line or waiting to do paperwork. Ill be going back
This is the go to place for knowledgeable sales people on al types of guns new and old. Whether you need a modern weapon or looking for antiques and collectables, this store has it all. I have shopped there for over 20 years and couldnt find a better all around service, quality, or breadth of guns available.
Terrible gun store, do not waste your time here. Run down, rude employees, barely any guns, & no ammo. Asked for FOID before even greeting me & then asked what I was there for. I think I blew the guys mind when I expressed that I was just looking around. You own a store where people go to shop you turkeys, please learn to have some respect for your customers. Maybe it’s the miserable city you live in but you’d think as a gun store owner selling more guns than ever for higher prices than ever you’d be in a little better of a mood.
Went in to pick up my fire arm AFTER they called me to tell me that my background cleared. They were closed at 3pm on a Friday! Never again will I return! They waisted my time!
Suburban Sporting Goods has top shelf service and items. They always go above and beyond for their customers.
Worst customer service ever. They ordered the wrong part, then told me I must have made a mistake. When I tried to return it, they said I would have to pay 25% fee. Will never go back there again. I should have read the reviews.
Ive bought many many items at this store. Jimmy Beltrame is possibly the most helpful gun guy Ive come across. The gunsmithing work is second to none. Thank you Suburban Sporting Goods.
Friendly staff, good selection of guns sometimes.
Dean/Anthony/Ale was so awesome and they make me comfortable to shop in the store they took card of me with great pleasure and respect and patient I will always shop here as a customer as long as you keep these good people
Went in today, informed them I was a first time buyer and was there for information. They were patient and answered my questions. Even when I saw a weapon system I was interested in they showed it to me and similar ones. Will buy from them again.
Website is great, inventory updated very frequent, got items much faster than expected. Staff is knowledgeable, made shopping experience much easier.
Really great place very helpful and knowledgeable recommend for first time buyers or long time buyers
5 stars because I know a lot of customers can be real *icks. Thus why the attitude of the store reflects its customer...like the guy who I spoke on the phone this morning, it’s cool man...I know you had a bad morning or just tired of people calling and asking weird things over and over again. Being a business owner I know how it is. It’s a strange time for the fire arms business, so I hope this brings back some of that passion I know y’all still have. Like that guy in the blazer last Monday.Us 2nd Amendment folks really do appreciate y’all.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!!!! Went in here to buy. But as soon as I walked could tell I was not welcomed. You are better off going to Bass Pro shop or Cabelas.
Not helpful at all. just stood there and offered no help or expertise. don’t go here if you’re looking for someone to engage with you while you buy a gun.
Bad experience! I brought a weapon about 2 years ago from this location these guys still work like the 18th century everything’s on paper and not online as it should to have quicker search on what a customer have purchased under the name or FOID Number!! In there STORE! So they charge an extra $50 BUCKS just to print a copy of a tiny receipt that will take less then 1HR To find but should take LESS then 5min if they had 2020 style of online search! And just use paper work as back up! Proof! If Your a valued customer we should get treated like one! I JUST NEEDED THE SERIAL # NUMBER!
SSG store hours were posted on the window 12 until 2. I came to the door at 12:30. Nobody came to the door. One person was swing his hands under his neck, the other person was having a seat. I even called no one picked up the phone. I will never buy a firearm from this place or transfer a firearm here. My father introduce me and my family to the business. My whole family came here to purchase a firearm from here. After today we will find a different place.
Update: issue was corrected, my husband just left the store with everything we needed and said you were a bunch of REALLY nice people and were very accommodating.I understand we are living in crazy times and things happen. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to send more updates and communicate with people that have items on backorder. In these times of uncertainty, people are going to get worried when they dont know whats going on.We are happy with the outcome and will definitely return to your business. Thanks for correcting the issue!
Top notch customer service! They went above and beyond to help me find what i needed. Would highly recommend. I will be purchasing my next firearm from them for sure!
With all the covid19 and limited hours, i was able to order weapons online.they called on me a week or two later to come down to fill out background checks. A week later another call for weapons pick up and all the ammo i needed. Very courteous staff.the gentlemen with a beard and a few tattoos is one of the experts there. If you have any questions please ask him very knowledgeable.Great experience i have purchased weapons since start of covid19 and all transactions were excellent !!!!!
Plain rude. Dollar bills walked to frendlier competitors.
Helpful, professional staff. Suburban has been a great source for firearms, ammunition, and advice in this crazy year.
Amazing customer service. They went out of their way to help resolve an issue I had with a transfer. Thank you!
The environment was great and every one was friendly especially AL and was very professional...def will be seeing me from this point on
Suburban Sporting Goods have handled majority of my FFL transfers. Bunch of cool dudes there. They will continue to have my business.
Drove here based on the reviews expecting good service. Walked out to never come back. The service sucks. They act like theyre doing you a favor. Im all about supporting local small businesses but save yourself the trouble and go to the big guys or another store. The selection is sad not even mediocre.
Took my firearm to get fix and they took like 3 weeks with it and they end up putting the wrong part on it.Last time doing business with them.
Some good white folkX.
Do you have any 9mm Smith & Wesson, SIG, or Spingfield compacts in stock?
Really nice people. They took good care of me. I will be a returning customer. A+.
Arrogant and condescending attitude by female employee when inquiring about the availability of 9mm ammo. Perhaps the power of supply v. demand has gone to her head but one day that will change. Today they dont need me as a customer but thats not a very good long term strategy. Good luck. Jct
This Place is great, Great selection and knowledgable staff. This is my go to Store, Has been for years. Excellent selection of used inventory as well, stop in you wont be disappointed.
So far so good; nice and friendly and helpful. Quick shipping and keeps me posted right when my stuff arrives. I wish they were closer to me😉.
I’ve bought guns and other Items from here. Employees are very helpful and Knowledgeable!! Thanks!
So I Actually got to go in and great since of humor it was better then the first time when I got turned around and then I went back and the experience was even better I would recommend them their great as long as ur not Sensitive because these are men u are dealing with I think I’m going to continue shopping there 💯
Super uptight staff. Hardly any merchandise on display and good luck approaching the counter to ask a question without a foid card. This place need to relax and learn some good customer service skills.
Placed an order on their site on a busy week at work and messed up with a 10% coupon that was on their main webpage. Called them up to see if it can be fixed and they could careless. Was told if I want to cancel and reorder I have to pay 25% restocking fee. Good luck getting more business from the guys at the airport and me.
I love this sport store it is clean n easy to find.
Called them on the phone and they Knew exactly what I needed. Went to their store and their services where prompt, very professional and courteous with very reasonable prices. I will highly recommend them.
Staff is really disrespectful gave me dirty looks before even asking me what I needed help with
For the most part its prob the closest gun store towards chicago northwest, as for selection and price its not bad nor is it good either - its like that small store you go to when your in a jiffy for something - to my knowledge it also seems like the ammo prices are a little higher then other surrounding area stores - Im assuming its because of location - the staff is cool never had an issue with them - I would definitely shop thier way thier more if competitive pricing was an option on the radar
The people here are very professional you cannot blame them for the state taking forever for background checks it’s just how the world is they kept me updated and whenever I called always gave me answers I will use them for FFL transfers in the future
Went to this place to pick up a box of ammo last minute. They were very efficient and had me in and out in a few minutes. The store is neat and organized and the staff was very friendly and cracked a few jokes while I waited for my ammo. Ill definitely go back.
What a great place! I have been coming here for years now but today, their customer service really stood out. I had an issue with a manufacturers mistake and they took care of the issue, no questions asked. Will be back again. Its wonderful having such a great, local business.
These guys are awesome- read every other firearm store review on here and you will see one outstanding comment- bad/poor customer service. Not these guys. They really want to help you. I served for 14 years in a unit that did a lot of shooting and know my weapons and knew what I wanted. They still went out of there way to make me feel comfortable about the choice and decision on my purchase. I wont buy a gun from another dealer again as these folks will get my money.Keep up the good work guysQ
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Helped all the way through my 1st gun purchase with patience and professionalism that really made me say this is going to be the pkace where I do all of my future gun buying. Thank you and hats off to the staff. God bless
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Very low pressure and really good prices, too. Highly recommended.
This is a great place. I had recently bought my first firearm from suburban sporting goods glock 17 and its awesome I use for safety of my business after recently being an armed robbery victim and Im glad Ive bought it here and joined the NRA. Only thing I have is how long orders are because Ive ordered ammunition have not been called yet and its been almost a month but other than that the store staff are great and will always by my firearms here.
Great online prices good communication and respond to emails quick. I would order from here again over all great experience..Best Melvin
Just go somewhere else. Thats all I can say.
These guys are the Real Deal! Very knowledgeable, and friendly. They have a great selection on everything from Handguns, Rifles and Gear.. Their prices on everything from Handguns to Ammo Cant be Beat. They have a customer (me) for life! Thanks guys. Neil Sy
This place was amazing and the people were better. I dont know much about guns but the employee was very knowledgeable and made buying my first shotgun very easy. This will be my go to for all my gun needs.
Very helpful nice and welcoming... I will definitely shop here again
Waiting for my first firearm to arrive. Whole lot of online selections you can pick. I was in and out with the paper work also great staff. 5 out of 5 no doubt. Support your local gun store!!!
If i can give this place zero stars i would, Very Rude and hardup, Nothing about this place says “Welcome”. I couldnt even look around without feeling as if its 1000 eyes watching my every move, The staff Racially Profiles you, they where Very Short and Rude, They all feel like they are tough guys because they have guns on their hips. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE, i left and went to article II in lombard and felt very comfortable NOT A PLACE FOR BLACK BUSINESS
Went there to purchase a firearm customer service was horrible...they didn’t act like they wanted to sell me anything.
I completely love this place. They have a vast knowledge of the inventory and amazing prices. Hopefully after reading this post, youll decide to go there and shop. If so, let them know that you read this post and tell them my name. So hopefully next time i go ill get a discount. Thanks.
Very nice and helpful staff great place to do business with. 5 STARS!!!
Very good prices.nice people to talk with, quite knowledgeable regarding firearms
Visited this store on 20 November 2018. Left the store the proud owner of a brand new gen 4 glock 19 in flat dark earth. Looking to inquire about a shiny new revolver on my next visit. Great service from a knowledgeable staff and superb website btw.
Out of the gun shops around my area #1 in customer Service, great staff, good prices, excellent products, nice guns/rifles. Stop going anywhere else! Stop by and check it out! I recommend this shop.
Not very friendly to some people. Possibly rightfully so. Poor selection. Good prices. They called me out on my negative feedback and were apologetic. My comments were: They profile pretty hard. So wear a collared shirt. I wore a collared shirt the 2nd time I entered and they were much more friendly like midwest.Notice most 5 star reviews are for a first time firearm purchase. These people are likely just excited to become part of the culture.Midwest Sporting goods is friendly to people of all cultures. However, at Suburban Sporting Goods, be polite, dress well, and be as professional as you can and they will do the same.Last note for the business: show your customer an ordered item before ordering it. Nod in acknowledgement of someone existence. Do not ignore/dehumanize people. Tell your customers how they can expect to hear from them and when.
Top notch service and customer service always. No haggling, no b@#$it, Don, Jimmy and the guys are professional and have a great selection of firearms, ammo and related products.
Very good service and staff, highly recommend it.
Prices are ridiculous. On top of their outrageous prices they have a nerve to charge of additional pick up fee. Its hard to support your local gun dealer. With people like this in business. For example a PPS M2 LE will cost you about $620.00 at (Suburban Sporting Goods)I purchase the same at Buds, did a FFL transfer to Franks firefire in Franklin Park. The total cost for everything was $290 Walter PPS M2 LE (Law Enforcement Edition) I save over $300 for the same firearm. Just shop around and do a FFL TRANSFER. Frank Firearms charge $25-$30. 2 firearms for $40.00
Went there a month back. The counter guy was really knowledgeable. Some of the other customers participated in our conversation and added greatly to the conversation. Overall a great experience. Definitely going back!
Not a great place to do business with. It’s so hard to support local businesses.
Great Customer Service. I went To retrieve something from them and ended up getting something else. Very Knowledgeable staff.
Got my first gun online and had it transferred to them. They were knowledgable and helpful about my questions. I highly recommend these guys!
By far my favorite firearms store in the whole tri state area. Owner Don and sons, Mike and Jim are great. Known Don close to 30yrs now. They remodeled and made the place bigger, real nice.
Always enjoy coming .Nice selection of guns and prices are good.The owner and son have always been good to me. Alvin
This is my first time buying a gun. Got an dpms oracle. They are really helpful. Paperwork was fast and smooth only problem is gun background check was a little delay but not a big deal. Happy with my purchase. Definitely will come back to buy another gun from them. P.s. The guy with the hat need to start working on how to pronoun my last name.
Very friendly staff that is willing to answer all of your questions. Great selection for all
Good selections. Nice staff. Although they might not have everything on hand, you can always order online.
Super people.Worth the wait for the right hand gun.Note: I made two purchases there just last yearalso involving a trade back as well.Thanks Jim!
Great place and very helpful staff. Went there and they help me order the Scorpion Evo on their website and it didnt take that long to arrive. Thank you SSG ill do business with you guys again.
Walked in to ask questions and look at the guns before I received my FOID, but was rudely just turned away without it and told to look at the site, which was down by the way. I understand why they wouldnt want someone without an FOID looking at their guns, but as someone interested in purchasing a gun soon a good salesman would have jumped on me to hopefully secure me as a sale later. The collection did look decent though and the shop was nice considering the area it is placed.
Ive frequented this excellently operated family business often. As a matter of fact, the owner and I are on a first name basis. I first discovered Suburban Sporting Goods in 2006, while living and working in Chicago. I am now retired and have relocated to Central Florida.., but always make my firearm purchases through Don..., in Florida or wherever I may be. Don and family have impressed me with their personal attention to my needs and cares, with nothing but utmost professional mannerism. Finally, the knowledge possessed by Don & family exceed my expectations..., moreover, the methods and ways taught to me in the Marine Corps.Semper Fidelis
