This is the best outdoor store in Portland hands down. Im a bigger guy and they have stuff from small to 5x and the prices are great. If you dont shop here you are missing out big time!!!

This place is great ! They have a lot of military/tactical gear as well as camping gear great selection of boots & socks, hats, knives etc. and downstairs is devoted to white water rafting. Good place to stock up on cold weather accessories...ice cleats and beanies + gloves.

This place is so cool! Went in to get my Dad a nice knife for his birthday. Wish I had more time to look around. So much cool stuff to see in that store! My dad loved his new benchmade

A great experience with so much cool stuff to check out. I love their selection of bomber jackets and pea coats.

I love this store. Everything I want is always right where it should be. The folks are helpful if you need them.

I had not the slightest idea or image in my minds eye of what this supposed outdoor sports&recreation store was or would be. My friend, Benjamin, had frequently brought it up in conversation because of our shared interest in camping and outdoor adventures. So, it being summer, full swing and, how do you do? I gave in to his pleas to check it out. .Its SOOOO FREAKING RAD!I love this outdoorsy recreation Outlet and military memorabilia emporium. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone whos into adventures in natures wonderland and/or those who are into cool things at awesome stores-

This place is amazing. Tons of military stuff it would take weeks to look at everything go here to prep for the end times

This place is one of the last O.G. Old Portland joints left in town.Fun and funky, with a lot of clothes and camping/rafting gear...all priced very affordably. Plus a mini military helmet museum!And knives...so many knives! Priced from $5 to over$500.Check it out!

This place isnt what it used to be.All new employees. The gear is Cheap Rothco for most of their merchandise it appears. Some good stuff still if you know what to look for. Very little actual milsurp. I used to come here all the time as my go to spot for gear but todays incident left me angry and confused. In a nutshell they challenged my perfectly good return that was within their policy and gave off hand question/comments. Once I did an exchange I paid extra to upgrade to a more expensive item they said I couldnt return the new item and wrote it on the receipt then tried to tell me the brand was excellent(which is bottom tier) and then gave me a receipt after I complained about them breaking their own return policy. They then stated they wouldnt change it in favor of the customer. AFTER I paid the difference I saw they gave me a receipt for the difference I paid meaning if I DID need to return my item I would have gotten less than 10% of my investment. They then tried to give me seven dollars in the return process instead of my $87 total. In the end all was made legally correct (except the bad feeling in my gut) but I will not be doing business again with Andy and Bax, poor treatment, poor quality gear, poor management (who was half the problem).

Its always fun to visit this store! Plenty of flotation devices in stock! Inner tubes in all price ranges and plenty of stock. Only place in town that is. Get it while you can! Great customer service!

What i really enjoy about this place is the varying capacity of first-aid kits. I am positive that Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan would have survived if the largest of the fist-aid kits offered would have been on that flight. But Im no doctor, so what do I know?The selection of boots, mittens/gloves, bags, jackets, hats/beanies and various camping equipment is also a good reason to come here. I stumbled upon this place looking for a good, solid pocket knife. I didnt buy one because I spent the last of my money on Greys Anatomy DVDs, but I will in the future, I promise.I ended up buying a belt because I felt guilty about being there for almost 2 hours, because that was in the price range of the loose change I had in my pocket.Cool place.

Cool store with good selection. Geeked out pretty hard at some of the stuff there. Planning on gping back for some stuff for airsoft.

Great inventory! Lots of useful items.

Great store for pouches and camping. Wish they had a larger selection of tactical pants

Picked up some accessories and straps for the back pack. Cool to check out some of the vintage stuff.

Ive been in many times over the years. Awesome gear.

Friendly staff and knowledgeable had what we needed to put our raft together thank you.

This place is so awesome! They sell outdoors stuff mostly but its like cool outdoor stuff! They also have things like replicated war helmets ect. Prices are super decent too! I came out of there with a hat, thick wool fingerless gloves, a small knife and fleece lined leggings for $32.

They did not or do not accept Military Donations according to Cathy the Manager. I attempted to donate my Current Navy Uniforms and they refused. I have donated in the past and gotten a receipt for my taxes. As of today, they do not accept donations for taxes. Looks like management has changed as well as policies

Awesome gem of an outdoor store! Been here outfitting & educating in Portland, OR since 1945 🇺🇸 Friendly & casual vibe in store. Nice selection of new knives from the top Oregon companies.Today I picked up this badass German military bug-out bag! 🤘🏽

Sweet little place tons of useful stuff for camping and survival in general makes great gifts for teens

Great prices on things. Picked up river floats for half of the price of Amazon or Big 5.

Always super helpful and they understand the frustration of a Mom trying to find a uniform for her kiddo. 10 out of 10

Andy and Bax is my new favorite store ! Went in for my first time about a week ago, my mom daughter and myself were grabbing thermal socks for grandpa (which their variety is vast) and a few items for my eldest whom is 23 and just joined the military! Woop woop ! Anyhow the store is awesome and they have it all from knives to food, from clothing to boomerangs, throwing stars and emergency water packs . This store is a Portland must and I will be doing my gift and everyday shopping here .

Love love love the store. They have almost anything a military enthusiast could want.

They always have what Im looking for.

This store is amazing they have a wide variety of all the things I could ever hope or wish for. I was able to find everything that I came to find quite easily without having to ask for much help. My last visit I had a rather large list of items that I was to pick up, the staff had no problem helping me to retrieve everything that I had on my list. All while carrying my 10-week-old puppy, which they had absolutely no problem having in their store in fact they were quite pleased to say hello to him. Which I cant blame them considering my pup is absolutely adorable.

Too expensive and not as good a selection as they used to have

Always disappointed.Staff is fine, but never well stocked. Everything is locked down in there because of covid. Still mandating the mask in June of 2021. Done driving in for this.

Good prices for quality new items

One of my fave originally Portland stores coolest by far

Been looking for somewhere local that wasnt an outrageously priced hobby or craft store to get paracord and found Andy & Bax. Fantastic store! Nice selection of cord and rope at a decent price. Tons of cold weather gear and wearable clothes for all uses. Found quite a few things that I was happy about. Sales people and clerks were friendly and welcoming as well! My new goto place

Ive heard good things but my experience was kind of bad. They didnt get their surplus stuff in because of covid so I saw empty boxes marked with names of things I wanted to buy. In the canteen section a bunch of things were in the wrong boxes and I got sold one that claimed to be surplus but once I brought it back home I found out it was a repro by miltec. I look forward to coming back in July once they have more surplus but right now all they have is airsoft stuff. For the time being just use Varusteleka instead. Also their first aid section kinda sucked

Best outdoor/military surplus store in town. Huge Selection of clothes, tents, and camping stuff and outdoor gear!

Great place for all things outdoors. Masks are required before entering, check bags and backpacks at the door. Good prices, knowable and friendly staff. You name it, theyll probably have it, plus they really liked Leonard Nimoy, aka Spock, as their sign paid tribute to the late actor at the time of his passing.

Best place in town to buy a fake grenade! :p But seriously, they have a lot of cool stuff for mostly decent prices.

The hours are weird but the store is cool

Agreeing with the other reviews, but you guys really are the best surplus store in PDX. Bought a backpack this week, found the same one at another store for twice the price! So thankful I shopped with you guys first! Plan on coming back for more gear soon, so much cool stuff! Thank you!!!!

This store is a true gem. Absolutely amazing selection. Things I didnt even know I needed, and great clothes. Ill definitely be back.

One of the few surplus stores left. Great for used work wear (size XL and up). Good for low priced camping and outdoor equipment.

This is one place that you should really check out if your from outside of pdx,ore area. I bought a rated 0,7-2 foot very good quality sleeping bag for $50.Plus Ive bought lots of other stuff there,nice,polite Employees.

Love the fact that they have a parking lot for their customers so you dont need to find off street parking. Helpful and knowledgeable staff in the rafting department located downstairs.

Amazing one of a kind store as original to SE portland as the Hawthorne bridge, I promise you wont be bored there

Big store with a lot of stuff. You can find everything you need for a backpacking trip here. We went looking for a union suit and found one. Also got great hats.

Odd yet comprehensive selection in an odd part of Portland. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very interesting store.

Great place to get hard to find gear at great prices.

Great place to shop for ALL your outdoor needs. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Decent selection and staff are friendly and helpful. I like that they have the range of quality and price covered for most items.

Been coming here for over 40 years. Always have cool stuff to look at and feels like youre walking back in history at the same time. Great Variety. Great prices. Almost have what Im looking for or an alternative.

Its a very great place two go to buy 0 rating sleeping bags it has very good backpacks military and has good military clothing and used clothing carhartt and has top of the line knives everything you need to live in the Woodlands for months at a time,if you know what to look for,very nice Employees, very clean and affordable.

Loved it when I was a kid loved it now so glad theyre still there

Awesome place for all your outdoor and camping supplies

I really like how solid every piece of great I have purchased there has been. That said, they seem to be a more filtered place than they used to be. That may well be due to nature of todays military surplus: there is more of a focus on single user, synthetic items and less on long them durability -- that and desert sands are very rough on textiles.

Good selection of knives. Some are kinda pricey but there are good ones for fair prices

We love this place! Great deals on socks for hiking

Super cool place with super cool stuff.

They have a lot of neat stuff.

Id rate this higher if the staff werent following me around like I was shoplifting.Maybe theyve been through some stuff, I dunno, but I know i was made to feel very uncomfortable.Still, GREAT selection.

Bought a pair of leather work gloves there. Great place for practical tactical goods. I love this store.

A military surplus store with a second hand, trinket store feel. Bizarre selection of stuff for sale. Great place to visit...

Its a Portland staple. Been going here for over two decades.

Great place to get tactical gear!

Ive been going here and recommending Andy and Bax for years. This is one of Portlands gems for outdoor gear! Variety of quality products at a reasonable price and the staff is always GREAT! Help support them so this gem can stay around for years to come!!!

Great place. All kinds of good stuff at reasonable prices and some of the nicest blades in town.

The most unhelpful experience Ive had. The head clerk answered my call saying they had the gear I needed. I drive 30min to come and get it and they did NOT have it. Thanks A&B for wasting an hour of my time which ensured I would not have enough time to visit other stores before my ruck march.

Little bit of camping, army surplus, and interesting outdoor odds and ends, Portland landmark!

If you need camping gear this is place. And wont break the budget.

Great place for all things military surplus

Cool store, Tons of stuff for my Bushcraft set up, I will be back .

Fantastic place! Shop here before going to the big box stores!

Go to place for cords, socks, general camping supplies and good selection of clothes.

Great for all your outdoor needs

I always like going To Andy and Bax Its a great outdoor store

Great military surplus store, huge selection of quality gear, and well organized. Staff has always been friendly and helpful.

I hadnt been to Andy and Bax for many years. The store is better now. Several staff asked if I needed assistance. They had high quality products like $40 wool blankets. They were very nice. The restroom was spotless. I purchased a duffle bag, a head band and a terrific small carry all bag. The owner/manager is a lovely person. I enjoyed a brief conversation with her. She is committed to making interesting, good quality, useful items available for her customers. This would be a great place to shop over the holidays because unlike other stores and Amazon, they have items you will not find anywhere else. Check out their beautiful enamel coffee pots.

Great place to buy gear for airsoft, paintball, or camping. Reasonable prices and the staff are amazing

Girl with black hair was to busy to answer any of my questions

Great military surplus and lots of extras to boot. Prices are really good and competitive. I cant remember a time I didnt come out of there happy with my experience.My only reason for dropping it a star is that some of the employees seem like they are just going through the motions.

Not much for me to buy here.

I love Andy bax ever since I got to P town a decade.

What a gem! This place is amazing for that Military surplus and Outdoor activities on the water!

Great selection of low cost camping and adventure gear

Heavily geared toward clothing and coming gear but more dilletante than hard core camper/hiker. Did find a great pair of military stainless scissors.

Its okay if you know what youre looking for. Merchandise changes so dont give up on the first try. I bought a warm military sweater. Dont remember what I paid for it. Very well made.

Awesome store love shopping here

Everything you need surplus & more!

Super cool gear, super cool prices and, best of all, super cool staff!

Expensive, but very well stocked. Would love to see cheaper boots. Wanted to buy something but, only had 20$. Cool guys really watch you close and felt uncomfortable enough to not want to go back. But cool place to see cool stuff.

I love this place. Been buying boots and backpacking equipment here for over 20 years. Solid company.

I love to look around. It has little odd stuff but cool stuff.They sell white water rafts and kayaks one floor from vintage gas mask and camp supplies.

Pretty standard surplus store, but in a tiny footprint. You can find the average stuff here in common sizes. This is a corporate, clean, store where you can pop by and grab stuff, but do not expect to find weird things as there just isnt room for anything extra.

Helpful people, Great Prices on more than just military surplus

Always great, best boat (rafting) department in the region - they have had my business for decades and will continue to.

The best selection of military surplus in the area. An awesome place to scope out what gear you might need or want for your next trip.Tons of military surplus to get dressed up for military sim games or Halloween.

So much good at such reasonable prices.

The place is really cool and has lots of camping supplies

Knife nerds dream. Incredible section of not just military equipment, but camping stuff and clothes. Really impressed by their knife selection. It’s fun shopping somewhere that has the full spectrum of knives, from inexpensive ones to high-end. They also stock spare parts for Benchmade and other brands, so you don’t have to deal with manufacturers online service. Staff is very helpful.

Amazing array of stuff! Great prices! It would take too long just to list all the deals on camping, recreational outdoor goodies, clothes, gadgets and etcetera that they have. Just go there and check it out!

Bought a cool flight jacket there and decorated it and made it my own

Army surplus store. They have lots of cool stuff. They seem to have very high quality items. They have lots of new gear. My experience with Surplus in the past have been decent quality. Andy and Bax got some great stuff. I will back as I need camping or outdoor gear!
