"I reached out to this store on their Instagram asking if they buy swords as well as sell them. I got quick and professional responses helping me. I went in to sell the swords and first off, the store is bigger than other sword and knife shops I've seen. The owner was there helping me out and offered me a fair value on the swords I was selling. He was super knowledgeable on everything. The store carries more than just swords and knives and I can't..."

The Vampire Saint

"A very cool store with lots of neat products. It's a lot of fun to just walk around and look at the selection. In my experience, the staff is really friendly too. I do wish there were more quality brands, though; many of the knives and swords looked either like display items or unknown 'knockoff' brands. That is to say, that's not the case with everything, there are plenty of great options too, but you'll need a discerning eye."

Rachel Hyde

"Cannot sing Dante’s praises enough. he helped us pick the perfect gift, engaged in exciting conversation about the products and related games/shows/books they were from, and was overall friendly and high energy. he was helping us and multiple other customers simultaneously and never made us feel like we were waiting or left hanging. When we made our purchases we made sure to say his name and I hope he earns commission or bonuses based on his sale..."

Jennifer Aubut

"Haven't been to Triangle Town Center in YEARS, and my daughters boyfriend wanted to show us a few stores, this one was our FAVORITE! It's clean, got tons of neat stuff to look at, friendly and knowledgeable staff to name just a few things! Check out a few pics I took, go check it out! My husband is definitely coming back when we have more time to look, it was almost time for the mall to close."

"Food was delicious! The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained everything. I learned some new things i will now use in the kitchen."

Kate H.

"My dad and I took a baking class today, and had so much fun. The instructor was excellent and the food was even better than expected. No matter your cooking expertise level you will do well in this class. We made Chewy Ginger cookies, Parker House Rolls, and a Pumpkin Roulade. Such a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend. And we took plenty home as well."

Angela Martin

"My last experience here was wonderful! This visit, not so much. Was really excited to come back- I was prepared to love my second cooking class experience but we started on time and then, from the very first minute, were rushed the entire duration of the class because “there’s another class right after you, so we need you out so we can prep for them.” We finished with barely enough time to shove the food into our mouths. For how much money we pay..."

Margaret Swingler

"We had a great experience at the holiday bread baking class! Everything was so organized and clear and we were walked through every step. It was really fun to do as a group and we made some delicious breads to try and take home. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build confidence in the kitchen!"

"Buying a new caravan this year is a minefield but one company stood out for us Off Grid Campers who provide the complete service. They have quality caravans Wounderland RV & Zone and all the staff are knowledgeable / caring and truly provide amazing service. I couldn’t ask for better. Thankyou all for our amazing new Wounderland Caravan"

Marzo Creations

"Off Grid Outfitters exceeded all expectations. We actually had a different brand van on order with another company, whereby our experience was in complete contrast to that of Off Grid Outfitters. It cost us money to get out of the deal with the other company but it was well worth it. From the minute we walked in the door Martin was so friendly and took the time to show us around and answered any questions we had without being pushy at all. After ..."

"My husband and I were in the market for a new caravan, we came across Off Grid at a caravan show. The service from the get go was awesome, the sales reps were not pushy - just informative and down to earth. After about 6 months of weighing up options we purchased a Wonderland Caravan through them, the whole process from the ordering, the build and handover was smooth. We have had to contact them since the purchase to iron out a few small things a..."

"Hi. Had our first 1,000km service 15/3/24 at Offgrid Outfitters Sydney. The team are amazing! Nothing is too much trouble. We had a few small issues with our Peregrine that were all taken care of by the team. They are very passionate about what they do and excellent attention to detail. A special thank you to Ryan, Darren, Sue Ben & Kate who all stayed back after Friday knock off to make sure everything was completed to their satisfaction. We wis..."
