My name is jessica, using husband's account to leave review.This store has always been the best.When I was a single mom, I brought my little boy in there. He is 13 now, and its still his fave store. But when he was little and we'd go in there, the Amato were always so kind and patient. They have always been very fair with their prices, but Mr. Amato has gone out of his way to be kind to me and my family. I am so grateful to any of the men and women who served. It is an honor to even know any of you. God bless the Amato family. I was just in there today with my husband and son and my little toddler and forgot to wish him a happy veterans day!!!! I do feel bad now, and will have to pop in and thank him for serving 🙏

This is like a super Army Navy store. This guy has everything from all wars in chances are in your size. From all branches of the military and including some hard to find items. Because it's in a small town you will always find things you won't see anywhere else. Great book and art and stuff from WI and WII

This is a great shop. It is the classic military surplus store with various pieces of gear, articles of clothing, etc. The selection is impressive, with items from various countries, and different time periods. The prices on just about anything inside are amazingly cheap as well! To top it off, I've always had a great experience with the owners here, who are both military veterans. This store is definitely worth a look!

Really large selection from a bunch of different countries. Customer service makes it worth the visit. Owner knows his stuff and really goes out of his way to help. If you need help finding the right size you can bet he'll get you set up right.

The owners are so helpful, point us in the right direction for getting things for our history military lovin' son. We try to come at least 2 or 3 times a year. My son loves that he can get different uniforms and outfits from different countries.

I went here about a year ago on a recommendation of a friend to get some gear for a Vietnam war airsoft kit, and when I went in, there was stuff everywhere from all different wars and ages. I went in only really expecting to get a few things and got a pistol belt, some accessories for the belt, a grunt helmet, a canteen, and an airman’s holster for a 1911. Highly recommend and I may go back soon.

My son is a 12 year old obsessed with all things military. This is his favorite place to shop. The man we saw today was so patient and helpful with his questions. We'll definitely be back many times. Thanks guys for having so much to look at and being so incredible with my kiddo.

We searched for Army Navy stores, in the vicinity, and this place popped up. We are so glad we went, the owners were extremely knowledgeable and showed us things that our 14 year old son would love. We will definitely be going back there again for more military items!!

Good place for military apparel and gear. Only problem is they have so much stuff it's hard to move around to look. But the selection is awesome from civil war until now. Got a little bit of everything it seems. US veteran owners.

Great prices and friendly staff! Thats where I got my 5X camo trench coat in my pic for $35, with a liner! Also got the balacavla there for $10. A year after buying that coat, I went back and asked if they had a winter hood for it and the guy brought a fur brimmed hood out of the back and said $5, sold! Always go there when I'm in Meadeville. Its a small, conjested store with merchandice and interesting military items cover every square inch! Worth browsing around!

Decent selection of clothes but that's it. I was looking at Soviet Ushankas, and one of the guys tried accusing me of stealing the USSR insignia off of one right after I said I was considering buying one. Then my friend asked to handle the bayonets and the clerk was very rude and wanted to know why he wanted to look at it. Avoid.

Remember going there when I was younger at the other end of the building. Haven't been in there in a few years but it was always a neat store.
