Great place to grab some gear and look around. Picked up a survival manual and a few stickers. The uniforms and boots are a bit overpriced compared to base, but its tailored to civilians as well as military so i can understand. Great selection of armor and accessories anyone could use. Id highly recommend you check them out
Its a really nice store. But its really only boots and uniforms. But they had a decent selection of plate carriers.
Ive bought some cool shirts and a good Oakley hat from this store
Top quality military and police tactical wear. Cashier was very nice and helpful.
Great place for current and former military shopping. Wife loved it also. Barber and tailor in-store.
Great products and service delivery was almost immediate this is my go to sort for tactical supplies from now on!!
Great experience, multiple team members assisted my daughter to find everything she needed. Answered every possible question and gave awesome advice. One team member offered and made her name tags while we shopped. Everyone was so friendly! Definitely would recommends!
Great place for your clothing, and packs.
Pricey pricey pricey. Not sure how much longer until service members no longer have to pay two limbs for less than half a uniform.
Their business hours shows they close at 6pm. I arrived at 5:40 pm and the tailor is gone for the day? No thanks.
I needed some boots (steel tow) for H8 school bc I ordered the wrong one’s. Ms Jordan Scott and Ms Shirley Craft, helped me exchanged them. I mean soon as I told them I needed the boots they went to work to get me those boots in my size. They went above and beyond to ensure those boots be on my feet when it was time for me to fly to Iowa. From making calls to Shaw Af base to calling warehouses to find them. They got them Next Day Air through UPS. I really appreciated them taking their time to ensure I left a satisfied customer. The staff was also great we had casual conversation while I was waiting. The customer service there is like no other. I will not buy my military boots anywhere else. Thanks for taking care of my needs before your own. Forever a customer. Thanks again
Clerk was clueless about drill sergeant badges and no female DS hat emblems at all!!! Crooked badges not sewn in line with pocket pattern lines and name tapes and rank sewn over velcro is clearly visible! Worst work I’ve ever seen! I caught it too late and photos are tomorrow! They schedule the pickups to be after 1800 but they close the alterations section then so they can’t fix it the same day if something is wrong. Rude employees! Go to magic alterations!
Sent email and called to get some info on a product i was wanting to buy. But didnt get to due to no reply email or call. Left messages. Nothing. Very disappointed.
This Forest Drive location’s customer service is top notch. Shirley and Joe took care of me like I was family. Thank you so much to the crew for a great buying experience. Will DEFINITELY be back.
Still the best place to get all your tactical and LE gear
Despite being a civilian, the staff was very courteous and helpful. Really loving the pair of Garmount Boots I got!
The staff was super friendly and very patient. They went above and beyond the call of duty to help every customer they encountered including myself. This was the best experience I have ever had while trying to get gear for work. The asst manager Ms Shirey(I believe her name was) was outstanding and did everything in her power to get me set. I will be going back. 5 star establishment with 5 star employees.
Unfortunately there no option for choosing Zero rating i would definitely choose it for my horrible experience with the associates who working overthere but thanks anyway for the store manager she is much better than them & did show more care about helping me out with what i was looking for
I made a purchase almost a year ago from their website, when I recieved my item I realized that I did not specify my title. Well, COVID happened and I kinda forgot about getting this fixed. I went into the local store outside of Fort Jackson, totally prepared to pay for fixing this issue which was an oversight by me, but after explaining what happened to Shirley, the Assistant GM, she told me they would fix the issue for free and they totally did. I really appreciated this. They went the extra mile for me when they really didnt have to. To me that is great customer service. She was super courteous and really listened to my story so she could understand the issue and help me.Also I have called the online sales before and they wete extremely helpful. Thank you all again. You have definitely made a customer for life.
Shirley was amazing and went out of her way to help me find exactly what I needed! Friendly & welcoming staff!
They rock! Great customer service and they have a knowledgeable crew. They also have alterations and a barber shop
Great prices and selection. Barbershop in store
Wow. Honestly incredible experience. All around boundless selection and employee’s genuinely, candidly care. Shay specifically was very intentional and thoughtful with walking me through alterations with the best price!!! She is brilliant and kind. And Roz pristinely prepared my altered uniform for the best impression possible. She even helped me clean up the frills so selflessly!! I love them!!!! So thankful for this place.
Very good customer service, always willing to help and full of knowledge, definitely recommend!
I’ve consistently been impressed by the quality service at the Forrest Drive US Patriot Tactical store. The staff is pleasant, competent, and speedy. Truly a pleasure to work with.
My boyfriend loves coming in to get gear.
Awesome staff. Very knowledgeable and very friendly
I walked in with a last minute request and Ms. Rosalind was extremely helpful! It was not even a traditional sewing job but she accommodated without hesitation. Highly recommend using the seamstress services at this location.
I highly recommend Jordan and Shirley. They are professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. Our kid was having trouble finding the proper and correct fitting boot. We drove 90 miles to this US Patriot location in Columbia and spent 2 hours trying on boots. Jordan and Shirley made the experience highly positive. We would drive the 90 miles again just to have assistance from this staff.
I had an issue with my Oakley boots ripping at the seams. After contacting Oakley corporate, getting the runaround and referral to the 90 day policy I contacted the local store. The staff and managers were more than happy to do anything they could to accommodate me since I was deployed and had the boots roughly for 90 days without a receipt. I cannot say enough nice things about these people who understood and helped me.
Amazing location! What great service! Shirley assisted us in every way possible making sure our new soldier had the most comforting and suitable gear.
The barber shop is amazing. Great, high quality haircuts at a fair price. Do not buy from the store. Cheap merchandise at high prizes.
They have the best boot selection around. The staff was friendly too. I recommend going there if you need a campaign hat press or carrying case or a new pair of boots. The also have a barber shop in store too!
Fantastic customer service. Left my uniform in January but they approached me to pick up, I already PCSed by the time so they said they will ship it to my current address. thank you!
Great selection and reasonable prices. Kimberly was exceptionally nice and very helpful. Had some great discounts being located beside the warehouse.
Great place for tactical gear. Boyfriend is now obsessed with this store.
Great service. Great quality name tapes. Fast shipping. Highly recommend!
Im giving an one star rating due to the haircut area. If you want to wait 30-45 minutes and on a time crunch do not go there. First time I went, was busy which is understandable, but the one cutting hair did not wait for his replacement and he left, leaving one person to cut hair then which I left. Second time I went, sat and waited, was one ahead of me. Waited 20-25 minutes, barber would cut and then stop for a few minutes to talk then cut again. Then I got up and left. Do not waste your time getting a haircut there. Unfortunately I hate to say it I think they maybe a little racist which is sad to say.
Quality and great customer service!!
Taylor was awesome!!! I was in a huge hurry and called ahead to make sure they’d be open. Taylor gathered all the things i needed so when i arrived, i just double checked and paid! It was so easy and she’s the best.
Not a military surplus store. More like military and police tactical supplies. Prices werent too bad. Good selection.
I just got a garment bag embroidered by Mrs. Shay at the U.S. Patriot Tactical store on 5560 Forest Drive, right by Fort Jackson main gate. Mrs Shay wad so patient and really took time to make sure I got what I wanted. She did an amazing job and I will definitely come here again.
Pretty decent selection of tactical gear that is a cut above standard GI equipment. Stuff can be expensive but its definitely for those who want to make long term gear upgrades
Great selection friendly staff
I usually go here to visit the barbershop which is amazing. It is located in the back of the store and the staff always greet you when you walk in. The store is very clean and bright and easy to navigate. They have everything you need for your military uniforms and they are great at it. Plus theres a cute blonde that works there with a great smile. Win, win situation!! :)
I got an excellent goatee trim. It had not been trimmed since march, due to the virus.
Love the customer service especially from Shay she was extremely helpful while i was shopping from the minute i walked into the store until i made my purchase. I totally recommend this store for all your tactical needs. Ask for Shay when you come to shop in here you will not be disappointed with her customer service.
US Patriot has three things: a barber shop, alterations, and a gear store.On the barber shop:I used to go once a month for about six months to US Patriot for the barber shop, and initially, it was good. My first visit was to a black dude with dreadlocks (apologies, dont know his name), who gave me the best cut Ive ever had in my life. The next month I went, some random dude gave me a horrible cut, which I felt worthy of a beatdown, but I knew my hair would grow back, so I left it alone. The next two months I went to a lady, and she did a fair job. Next month, I went back and the second dude cut my hair again, same quality worthy of a throttling. The last month I went, I went to a bald guy, who did a decent job, but nothing like the initial black dude with dreadlocks.Why this long-winded story? I believe quality and establishing a relationship with your clients, especially in a visual service, should be explained as thoroughly as possible. I didnt go back after the last visit since I couldnt consistently get the same service.Alterations:Never had to use this service, but I perused their selection, and knowing what military dudes use, this portion of the shop is great. All the badges, tabs, and patches one would need.Gear store:This is primary reason for the store being in existence, and I have a much shorter take on it.I bought items that I wanted to return, and it was an easy process to return them. Staff is distantly friendly, but pleasant.
I love this place! There is such a large variety of different military insignia and some clothing. They carry various different types of field gear and footwear. Their morale patches are definitely a sight to see. LOL
Pretty cool store with a great staff. Was greeted right from entering the store and just walked around. I was looking for a few items and Troy helped me find everything I needed. Will definitely be back because of the customer service and the selection.
Its an interesting story filled with the usual military stuff. They do a good job sewing on name tapes and they have a nice selection of tactical Gear, knives, camelbaks, you name it anything you need military related you can find it here. The people Behind the Counter are very friendly too so definitely a top notch experience....
Was shopping there for some gear for work.Good selection.
A tactical guys paradise! I walked in to check out the base layer clothing and had a conversation with an employee that struck me as a manager or owner but I wasnt sure. He was obviously a great people person and I showed him a new bracelet that I had gotten recently that doubles as a tool and he was so interested in it that he said that he wanted to offer it in his store as soon as he could get them. I just had an over all great customer experience here and I can promise you that I will have many more trips here and will recommend this to my entire family and friends! Go check these guys out!
Barbershop takes forever. Went two weeks ago. One barber there. Waited almost an hour to get hair cut. There was no one in front of me besides the guy in the chair. Just straight convo the entire time between the two with very little actual work being done. Then the barber left and went to lunch, not a word was said to me.
The tailors/seamstresses really went out of their way to help me as an out of town visitor. Shay specifically took her own time to rush something for me for no reason besides the goodness of her heart and a clear commitment to customer service from the whole alterations department. Promote both those ladies ahead of peers! ;)
The staff was very helpful and Knowledgeable and when it came to boots and socks for sure if you need help Troy he’s your guy, I believe that’s his name. Sorry not good with names. Ps the ladies are good as well. Came in when it was a packed out house. They are very helpful. Go check them out.
Great...it had what we needed
Barber is awesome. Always get my cut here every month.Great selection of confirm products. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great supply of different things. Store is bright and clean fairly well stocked. Staff is very friendly!!
Barbers talk and watch football more than they cut someones hair. You better expect a 30 min to an hour wait even when they have 3 barbers and only 3 people waiting. Also do not go to the fat guy with the beard that snores while he cuts your hair. He is terrible at fades. I asked for a low and clearly got one much higher and it looked terrible.
Nice product but price is up there, but youll get what you pay for.
Love the boys barber that cuts their hair. He does amazing job.
2 stars for their customer service but overall I have been very disappointed with my experiences here. Their alterations is slow. It took them a week to do a sewing job. That same job was done the next day, utilizing the alterations store on Fort Jackson. They left their chalk lines in my uniforms, very unprofessional. To top it off the name tapes didnt remotely match my OCP top. I brought it up and was told There is nothing we can do about it!👎🏾
Shirley was awesome and helped picked the perfect boots for MY feet ! She’s amazing and knows her stuff, listen to her she won’t steer you wrong ! Thanks Shirley for my new boots !!!!!!
WOW we took our BMT Army grad here to get geared up and the lady who helped us had her act wired tight .. She new her facts and Her attitude was can do..She got our soldier set up right. and made our entire experience very relaxed and secure. We felt we were in good hands.Thank you (danka shane) Shirley Croft and the staff at US Patriot.. P.S We ordered PT shirts and the store got them to our soldier stat. .Awesome You all rock...C & S from Oregon
Great costumer service but the barbershop is terrible been here for an hour and theres only been on barber. Then when the second barber got here the first barber took a break after he cut someone hair so I dont recommend the barber
Taylor was a great help. The staff at the forest drive location have great customer service! Will definitely be back again!
Great service, barber shop cuts great hair as well. The only reason why I would not give it 5 stars is because it takes to long to get a haircut. The barbers are great but there would be a long line with 3 barbers, but then the other are just chilling for 10 to 15 minutes before taking someone.
Good selection. Got myself some snivel gear!
Great convenient location near the Fort Jackson gate, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of military and tactical gear, with an in house barber shop, perfect for Fort Jackson Army personnel in a hurry.
My son received an awesome haircut for his first day of high school
Cool store. Staff is helpful. Great place to grab gear. Barbershop gives good cuts.
The boots I got here were the only comfortable footwear I had. The UA socks didnt hold up well after 10 months. The DarnTough held up incredibly well.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a wide assortment of military/law enforcement type products. Definitely recommended.
Taylor and Shirley were awesome! 😍 First time coming in but it won’t be my last 😇 they even helped us shop 🙀
The alteration staff was inattentive, rude, and nasty. I took in my fiancé’s shirts to be altered and when I asked about the turnaround time, the older one snapped at me. When I came to pick up the shirts, the younger one just stared at me without greeting me or saying anything. Overall, a very uncomfortable and unacceptable experience.
Shay was a great help in alterations and sales! She’s awesome and thoroughly makes sure you get what you’re looking for
Very cool store with everything you need in uniform
Nice place. Seems a little pricey. Picked up a hat that actually fits
Cool useful outdoor military grade gear
SHAY in alterations is so awesome. She makes the process so simple
Awesome customer service and sewing was cheap and fast. Best babe in town also
Great place to buy gear. Big selection and helpful staff.
Purchased items for someone who was deployed. Staff was extremely helpful. They ship to soldiers overseas too!
I would like to say thank you to your Employe, I think her name was Shelley. She went out of her way last night, to make sure my Son was back at Fort Jackson !Her main concern was, that my son that just graduated would not be late and get in trouble .We called a cab at 5 p.m. from your Store and the cab never showed up . At 6:50 Shelley said she was driving us on post . She moved the havey carseat stepped in a big puddle and got her feet wet and took My son, myself, sister and my husband back to the battalion . Im writing this, because I want you all to know and understand how grateful we are for what she has done . she didnthave to do this, we are complete strangers and she went beyond to help. I loved how she explained the company Us patriot and that it was Vetran owned and that everyone is a family or also has family members work for the company. And at the end she didnt want no money for gas, all she asked for, is for us NOT to forget U.S. Patriot .We are on our way back to Guam and we want to say, WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU SHELLEY and the Company !God bless you!
Took my son to get a haircut, and theyre always great with their service, and my son loves going there!
Very nice store with a lot to look at. The customer service was very good.
One of the only tactical stores around this area. Excellent customer service and selection. Prices could be better.
Every time I pick up a product from them people always question where I got it and how they can get it. some great people great products great place
Best one stop shop for Military goods outside the base in South Carolina!!
The staff are always friendly and helpful. Items are on the expensive side but they live up to their quality never had any complaints that werent solved before I left the store.
Better prices than what the army base has to offer. A must to go for savings for supplies if you can get off the base
Great staff and has everything I needed
The Barber Shop is good.
Very nice Ive never been to a store like this one.
Found the exact military grade gloves I was looking for at this location to send them down rang to my bro!
Good selection for active duty
Awesome store and customer service
