This place is always such a fun shop to look around in. Even when I think Ive seen it all, I always end up spending atleast an hour every time I go to this store! Im not in the military but I love items that are built to last, which is what this store is full of! Great for getting camping gear or just really well made utilitarian items

Ive been in there a few times years ago not really looking for anything and was amazed with what all they have. This week I had to paint a car haul trailer and have it done this week. Well all my paint respirators are clogged and the paint store cant get any replacement filters are cartridges. Not even n-95 masks, as I find that screwed up when some CBD store advertise they have them for customers who purchase their products. Us professional painters, carpenters and other construction people go without destroying our lungs to survive. Anyway I was in search of PPE and I found surplus Russian made chemical/gas mask. Its hard to put on but it gave me 100% protection from the Very toxic flumes from the automotive paint, reducers and hardeners all highly toxic and flammable. The price was less than I expected and would have paid more to protect my already damaged lungs from years of painting and construction work. Not counting the years I worked in a chemical plant. Needless to say its all lead to my having COPD and the last thing I need was to breathe these chemicals. A few days earlier using the primer with my clogged mask, well that night was horrible from sucking flumes. Thanks Army Navy Guys on Brainerd rd in Chattanooga in the Great State of Tennessee...

The folks here are so friendly. No matter what your question might be they were willing to help. Large selection of items, my only regret was one item I purchased the snap broke on it the first time I tried to use it. unfortunately I think I am outside of the 1 week return window.

Wonderful, helpful staff. Huge selection of what seems to be good quality merchandise.

Great military combat clothes and more with a very friendly staff

Dont come here if you are looking for a deal. Prices are very high even for items in poor condition. Also their restroom is closed due to covid. I think its the only business in Chattanooga with that policy.

Varied array of items. One of the better surplus stores. Camping and tent offerings need an update.

As usual the service was great. I have been going there for over a decade. The owner has always been kind helpful and very polite. The store has always been kept clean. His prices are fair both ways and his inventory selection is really pretty good. I would highly recommend this to all active duty, veterans, preppers youll find most likely whatever youre looking for at this location. Thank you sir for the services that you provide for our community.

Exactly what you would expect. Old school to the core and a great place to get camping supplies.

Love the place. Has many different things that I want and need. Will be going back to buy a few things on payday.

Great place for outdoor, work, hunting needs really you name it they have a little bit of everything in there so you better have some time on your hands to see it all. Great quality equipment most being made in the good ole U.S.A you cant beat that now days. So stop in and check them out Im sure youll be able to find something to fit your needs.

A home town staple for decades! Terry is always so friendly and helpful to me as I’m married to a vet and like to replace his military poncho liner every few years and get me one, too! And the Carhartt overalls were perfect for our son and his farm work!

Visited the store on a stormy day in Chattanooga when lots of other things were shut down. Wide selection of merchandise. Staff was helpful and friendly. Store was extremely neat and merchandise was well displayed. You could tell right away if they had what you wanted because you disnt have to sort through messy piles of merchandise!!

They have a huge selection of all things military, new and used. The only negative is the store smells like mold and mildew badly.

So much awesome stuff new and vintage!

Very great Army store and a reliable source to do business with. They do good in store business and are good with shipping items to you. Thanks for the great business experience

Super awesome place to get all sorts of military gear. They have things from clothing, containers, rope, knives, and more.

Always a great place to shop.for military/ems/police stuff, great place to get camping supplies, been there for a long time and lots of stuff, owner and staff always friendly, stop in for any of your outdoor needs, lots of prior military swag too

This place has a LOT of gear! New and used military surplus clothing, bags, hats, socks, gloves, packs, knives, and all manner of goods for man and beast! Its part store and part museum! Stop in and browse around!

Full of everything you could want in military surplus and other great items

Brainerd Army Store great. SO PROUD HE CARRIES U.S. MADE PRODUCTS Gentleman so helpful and nice. I also believe if you need something and cant be found there. YOU DONT NEED IT

Freaking awesome. I thought these stores were all gone. Great place to shop.

Great store a little pricey on a few things but the staff and owner are very helpful and very knowledgeable about their products!!!

Large selection of reasonably priced gear. They always have my uniform needs.

First i want to compliment the staff. Helpful and knowledgeable of their merchandise but let you leisurey browse the store. Lot of military surplus both new and old. My grandkids were amazed and one is going back for a gas mask for his Halloween costume. I still want the hearing aid at the register, just kidding Joe, you need it more than i do and it is a great conversation piece. Hope to see you again soon.

Visited, didnt purchase anything. Greeted in and out, not crowded, and free to roam!

Nice web page

I love coming to this store! Been coming here since I was young! Took my son for his first time and things are pretty much the same! Its like stepping back into time! A must for anyone!

Great friendly customer service with loads of clothing, boots, hats, belts and other gear! Thx Jennifer for your awesome assistance! You found exactly what I wanted!

I know the owner by his first name. This is walking into a museum

They have interesting items and quality customer service.

Good prices and variety of items. Can find decent or good quality items for a reasonable or great price. Good location to buy stuff if you’re programs like JROTC

Cool place they have alot of cool stuff.couple of the employees were a little pushy. Over all a place ill vist again

Good place to shop for Military merchandise

Great place to be so many things to choose

Great store, helpful people, and tons of merchandise. If you go give yourself a couple hours to be able to see it all!!

As a disabled vet and needing a pair of jungle boots because of the shanks in the soles I googled army navy surplus Brainerd Army Store can up. I called and told the owner what I needed and asked to set a pair aside. I had to travel 30 miles to the store. When I walked into the store I had to stop and look. The store sold things I had no idea could be found anymore. The owner had set a pair of boots aside like I had asked. Very knowledgeable and accepted my Veterns ID Card for discount. I put the boots on in the parking lot. I ride a motorcycle with these. Very comfortable right from the start. Priced very reasonable. The store does not have things just for an ex-vet like me but also the hunter. I would recommend this store. If I need another pair of boots I know the store I will go back to.

The selection is large and the employees are pretty friendly; but the prices can get ridiculous.

This store is awesome! They have both new and new merchandise for all your different needs. They also have a wide variety of memorabilia from different military battles to various other items. You will be amazed at the different artifacts that are assembled here. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Their prices are reasonable and the staff members are very helpful.

Coolest place Ive been to in a long time! Very respectful staff and one of the best surplus stores Ive seen.

Very nice

Great place

Wonderful Service Fantastic store see something new every visit.

Great place, Great customer service! They have just about anything you are looking for.

They have had all army needs for YEARS. My grandma worked their I had to go down nostalgic lane. Its a great story full of treasures

Best Army surplus store Ive ever been to and Ive been to a few.

I work for a funeral home. Terry and his staff worked for a long time yesterday in finding a uniform for a retired veteran. I can’t tell you how much it meant to the family. What a tribute! You guys do more then just sell clothes!! Thank you!

Been coming here for years. Love this place. Great selection of items and products with good prices.

This is an amazing little hole-in-the-wall store. For one, it is huge! Secondly, if you have any military friends or family, you can pretty much find a gift here to suit any of them. The prices were great, too. Definitely a go-to for me and my family!

They have a decent selection of stuff. Trying to sell old, used uniforms for more than what they cost brand new at the on post clothing and sales exchanges. If you’re in the National Guard and you lose equipment, it’ll be cheaper to just pay CIF the full price for it than to try to pick up a replacement here.

Ive been shopping here since I was in high school 20+ years ago and it is the same place today that it was then. Bought my first pair of combat boots here. And although I am disappointed that the pair of boots I wanted was discontinued, the store owner or manager (Im not quite sure who he is, but hes there every time I go there - dark-haired guy at the register) is so nice and knowledgeable about the inventory, that it is always a pleasure to speak with him.

They had what I was looking for and the price was affordable.

Great place. They are always ready to help in anyway. And are really helpful. Thank you.

Owners are great! We have a great experience every time we go in looking for pins to go on my hard to support our son who is a MARINE. If they dont have something they will special order it if available. NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE AT BRAINERD ARMY STORE!

Some very nice and helpful people. Will definitely go back!

Its have been good

Great place for the hard to find gear .

Found everything I needed and a few things I couldnt live without 😁. Very helpful staff.

My dad is retired military so I go there 2 find him kewl stuff

This store has very knowledgeable staff and their selection is amazing.

Everything and anything your prepper heart desires and more. friendly staff except for the lady in the back who always feels seems like shes trying to rush me out of the store. The guy who runs the front counter though is it cool dude

Very friendly staff very and knowledgeable about the products they sell.I would take a trip back to this store if you need to know your sizes and help getting fitted for your Military gear.

Nice employees. They hover over you your whole shopping trip like your a thief in the waiting. But the guy behind the counter is so friendly and they have a whole bunch of cool stuff.

They had to drag me out of this place. Best store ever. I wanted to move in.

I always find a good deal on items Ive been looking for.

Lots of cool stuff. And the little old woman was super nice and helpful.

Love this place, but theyve been out of butterfly knives too long.

I Love This Place. If I had the money I would buy so many things in this place. All the camping supplies you need. I buy all my BDU pants from this place. Ask for Tony or Terry

Ive shopped here for 30+ years.. its long lasting military surplus. Great for collectors. Lots of cool stuff.

Awesome local place to find military surplus, been comkng here since I was 10.

This is one of the coolest places Ive been to around Chattanooga. You can easily spend hours in this store and find something different every time you walk by an aisle.I didnt see an issue with prices as others had pointed out, except for some products that are brand new (I found an Arctix jacket that was cheaper on Amazon). You just have to be smart about it, as with any store. A lot of the used gear is a reasonable price, I found an old British style drill jacket for about 20 bucks.If youre looking for good military gear, this is the place to go. A lot better than those overpriced antique malls.

Its got a lot of junk if you like scrimmaging through things and trying to find things that you might like it also smells like an old house old mothballsbut if you can stand the smell and you like scrimmaging around things thats the place

Tons of awesome stuff here and the staff is out of this world. I had looked all around town for a womens size 2 khaki pair of tactical pants to no avail. Then I came here. Maria and another nice lady had looked all over the store to find something that might fit me. When I was checking out, Brian remembered I had called 2 days ago about the pants and was able to find exactly the pair I called for ! They fit perfectly! I have everyone at Brainerd Army Store to thank for finding just what I needed. I will come here in the future for all my rescue/tactical apparel!

Great stuff, but didnt have enough time to do the store justice

Awesome if you like history or just modern things. Really focuses on ww2. They have Russian gas masks.

There always interesting things to find here. Our son hunts and we love to get him gear at this store. He especially enjoys the MREs to take into the woods with him.

THE BEST MILITARY STORE IN CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE.! I LOVE THIS STORE

AWESOME PLACE TO SHOP!!!!!!GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS & GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP 2020:

I needed help selecting a Christmas gift for a friend in the Military. The owner, his son and all the staff made it there mission to help me get what I needed. Great place to go!!!

From the time I walked in, I was followed. I was made to feel very uncomfortable. Ive worked retail loss prevention and these people need to dial it back. If you know what youre looking for then by all means go and overpay for your items, but if you are like most, you will just get it online. If you are wanting to go and browse, be prepared to feel as if you are doing something wrong. I do not recommend this place.

I dont know what it is with this place, but they never have anything in my size. Im 6 even and a fit 215lbs, and they always seem to be out of just my sizes. Weird.Also, what kind of a store closes at 6pm? This is the closest surplus store to where I live, so anytime I want to shop there, I have to do it in a huge rush. Honestly, I just dont shop there anymore. I may have to travel to Atlanta to get my gear, but its better than dealing with this place.Oh, and the customer service is awful. Everyone else posting here mentions how they follow you like youre a thief, but thats only if you dont want their help. Ask them to help you find something specific and its well we got what we got. If you cant find it, I guess we dont got it. Thats no way to run a business.

Lots of army/camo stuff here. Very interesting to look about. Ive purchased clothes for spring hunting here. Fairly reasonable prices, helpful staff.

Finally found long johns!

Great selection and owners are great have been comming here since I was a kid

I found exactly what I was looking for surprisingly fast! But I can spend hours here and almost never walk out empty handed. Love this place!

Little pricey but love the place. Really cool store.

Bought some ripstop bdus there. They were good quality and standard issue. They have the hard to find but are a.little over what you would.pay for.th.if.you were active duty.

If youre looking for unique military items, or Halloween accessories, look no further. The staff is incredibly helpful & will help you find what you need.

Great service and and very friendly love this place

Great choice of Paracord. Also have alot of other interesting things.

When i went there the staff was awesome. There was an occasional lady following me around but other wise great. Some of he clothing is priced on the higher side.

Had items on Shelf with prices and description, then said items werent for sale. Also items were marked differently than what they came up at the register initially enjoyed my first visit, came back a second day and wont be back ever again.

Best place to buy any military memorabilia

Great place to find surplus gear!

Sold me polyester thermal gear and claimed it was neoprene. Dishonest!! Watch these guys! Also crazy overpriced. After writing this review I seen an article about them selling meth also... No joke! Makes sense now.

Amazing inventory at fair prices and friendly staff.

My boys love this store. Their employees are alway friendly and very helpful.

Awesome place. not the cheapest but good quality surplus

Have everything here! Ive camped and hiked like CRAZY since finding this place. Family of four, and i can put our entire camping trip on my back. ...including the grill and coffee pot.Because camping without coffe is garbage.

Literally the best experience weve ever had at an army surplus store they have almost anything and they are willing to do special orders unlike many other places.
