The definate go to place for all your military needs! Friendly staff is a 100%. Good conversation too! Or just go to browse, its a history book inside.

Found some really cool stuff in there

This place is a military surplus store, so if you are looking for something youd find in the px, youll more than likely find it here.

Great customer service great prices thank you

Very expensive but hubby likes the selection of items.

Great locally owned shop

Got a new tool bag and new boots, more than reasonable and is well worth it 👌 👍 😀 👏 🙌 😄

Great selection, and if you dont want to buy anything its just cool to look around too.

There is so many awesome things here. The staff were super nice and helpful. We had stopped by here on our way to Chicago and we only ment to spend about 10, 15 minutes in here but we were having so much fun seeing all the stuff by the time we had left we were there for an hour and a half. Super fun and interesting place.

Bought a back pack style bag for school.

Good prices and a wide variety of products to choose from.

Okay first off even if they dont sell firearms anymore this store still is awesome the ammount of selection they have at this place is incredible they also sell plate carriers and mres which amazing considering that this store is awesome.

This place is nothing more than a dingy musty smelling rundown place to buy military related clothing. Its a shadow of its former self. I was greatly disappointed in this place. Theres absolutely nothing special here. Just overpriced rags are all that remain in this building. Its NOT a surplus store

Quick and pleasant experience had what I needed. Shop n Buy local.

Lots of variety of stuff and the owners were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Dale and his crew has always been friendly and helpful. He has been in business for ever because of his reasonable prices, the variety and quality of his items. I just love love going in there with my husband. Great place to look for military surplus and much more. GREAT STORE.!!!

Bought my first firearm from these awesome people 20 years ago, and always come in and see what selection they have. What I have found is these people will not cheat you, nor will they put up with your BS. If you want a place that kisses your A$*, go to a big box store. What you will find here is a good deal with great firearms. They are knowledgeable about the firearms they sell and price them at what they actually are worth and not what they can get from you. I have bought firearms from every dealer in Springfield, IL, and I can tell you I will only buy from Birds N Brooks again in this area.

Cool

Very helpful and informative staff....will be back for more!

Ive been doing business with this gentleman for years, dating back to his previous location, and have found Dale to be knowledgeable, helpful, and as courteous to me as Ive been to him. ... and No, he dont take no stinking plastic! Thats his choice, if a tad inconvenient at times -saves me from making impulse purchases. His advice has saved me countless hundreds of dollars, not to mention prevented me from devaluing a couple of nice firearms. I will always recommend Birds `n Brooks without reservation.

Friendly, highly knowledgeable people work here. Great selections and inventory of a variety of products. (This is not an appliance store. The pictures of washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc. do NOT relate to Birds N Brooks). And, contrary to a prior note (which has thankfully been removed): This establishment IS open for business (it is not permanently closed, as it had been erroneously tagged).

Heck yes, loved it here. The lady working there was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Picked up some gifts for a family member. Its a cool place

Badass store, use to go here with my grandpa when I was younger.

Great selection and super helpful staff!

This place is awesome. Dale is the nicest grumpy old guy you will ever meet. Great inventory of a little bit of everything manly.

My friend Dale Patterson owns and operates the most well stocked Army, Navy, Marines,Airforce surplus store lve ever seen hands down!!!! If they dont have it they can get it!!!! I highly recommend it to everyone!!!!

Been dealing with Dale for 20 plus years, and what I like about Dale and his store is what everyone else has stated, its no nonsense, good old boy shop, plain and simple, if this isnt what your use to, then dont bother going there, if you want a history lesson and some good advice, then this is your place, Hats off to Dale and his family and employees, they run a top notch store with a little bit of everything and a whole bunch of fun. Good Luck Dale.

Its military surplus.thats all you need.i recommend the bomber jacket.

Phil is very helpful with any item you may want to purchase. Also has a working knowledge of all the firearms they have in stock.

Great place to find military surplus. Unfortunately since Illinoisistan is making it harder to sell firearms, they will no longer sell them.

Awesome! Alot of vintage military apparel. Also have magazines for weapons that are hard to find

Awesome people and you cant beat the prices.

I love this store found a great jacket at a great price. Thank you

Friendly and knowledgeable staff.Least politically correct store in Springfield.

Was able to find a needed item for a uniform. Thanks

Ok with us. They right and so we.

Its a little pricey but the quality of thier products and Customer service is second to none

Nice selection of military stuff. Fairly decent gun selection. Super conservative, anti media, etc

It stinks because they allow smoking inside, they dont use a modern cash register or calculator so they figure up what you owe and taxes on a tax table and screwed up thefigurin up to try and pinch me for an extra $25. Its mostly old uniforms. Prices are a lil high. Sketchy at best. Get a tetanus shot before going in.

I do not recommend this place at all. I was trying to make my purchase and did not have enough cash (they do not take any plastic) and was going to go to get cash and return and was told by the clerk i was f***ing with him and to forget it. Not quite how you expect to be treated as a respectful customer. Needless to say i will go elsewhere for my purchases.

Going out of business because of Illinois law requiring three yr state license at $1500. BATF license is only $90!

Lots of cool stuff but the store is cluttered. A bit overpriced too.

Helpful as soon as we walked in the door. Lots of variety.

Great selections

Always a great place to find something or just chat for awhile.

Lots in stock. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Extensive selection of clothing, hunting items, firearms accessories, and more. Helpful staff.

Big selection, good prices.

This is Merica at its finest.

Very helpful, warm feeling of home.

Awesome place to buy guns and gun shooting accessories!!!

Never know what you will find love it

ITS STILL OPEN AND IS THE BEST SURPLUS IN THE AREA!!!!!!!

I get to Springfield once or twice a year and I always stop in and the Owner has always been more than happy to help me with what ever I am looking for plus its something different from my same old gun shop.

Great variety and friendly service.

Many sizes available. Wish they had more kids.
