Carl's Military Surplus

Carl's Military Surplus in Lawton, OK, is a hidden gem that has garnered a solid reputation among locals, sporting an overall rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars from 63 reviews. What really stands out here is the warm, friendly atmosphere created by Jackie and Carl, the owners. Customers rave about their kindness and willingness to help, with Teresa Franks mentioning, 'Jackie is an amazing person. She went above and beyond to help my husband and I out.' This personal touch seems to be a recurring theme, as many reviews highlight the helpfulness of the staff while browsing the diverse range of military surplus items.

Another appealing feature is the organization of the store. Scott Beyer pointed out that it's 'well organized' and offers a variety of sizes, which makes it easy for shoppers to find what they're looking for. Plus, the reasonable pricing adds to the allure; many customers appreciate the value they get from the products, like custom dog tags sold for just six bucks.

However, not every reviewer left with exactly what they wanted. As Michael Garness noted, 'though I didn’t find what I was looking for,' he still planned to return because he found other items at reasonable prices. This suggests that while the store has a lot to offer, it may not have the specific item someone is in search of on every visit. Yet, the general atmosphere and customer service seem to make up for this shortcoming, with multiple customers mentioning they would come back again.
