    I'm always impressed with the manager Mike and his team! Especially Anthony and Steve aka The Marine (thanks for your service) We relocated last March and since day one the team here has been extremely helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I'm always greeted within 30 seconds and asked if I need help with my project and guided to the right direction. We are new to the weather here in Illinois and Anthony has always assisted with weather proofing, salt n more along with Steve who assisted with replacing my custom frame and screens when all other big boxes stated I needed to purchase new. No gimmicks here at Ace in Hoffman Estates. There's always deals and you pay for what you get- GREAT 5 star service! Ask for Anthony or Steve and please be patient as the team here gets swamped with customers. Thanks again Team Ace! See you on my next project

    See all

    Went to Ace Hardware in Hoffman Estates yesterday(7/17/2025) and the store was closed. No sign. No people. Nothing.

    Rude. No greeting. No smile. Very uncomfortable. High price. No thank you. No good bye. Lack of inventor. Lack of emplyee.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here last night after making reservations on OpenTable. We…read morewere warmly greeted by the host who acknowledged our event and seated us in the back overlooking the brew room, very nice. It was my first visit to your restaurant though my wife has been here before with friends. Chad was our server. He pleasantly explained the drink and dining menus and took good care of us all evening. My bride had her favorite drink, The French Martini, and you guys nailed it for her! I was very happy with the 2025 Pils. Dinner was amazing, Skirt steak for her, brisket for me with Yukon potatoes following salads for both of us. The quality and taste of the food was great and makes us want to come back and sample other dishes. We received great service and a nice complimentary glass of champagne (with Ho-Ho's) to finish our celebration. At the end of the evening we received a big surprise when Chad came over with news that we had no bill to pay as my wife's daughter and her husband had secretly called to pay the tab! So thoughtful of them to treat us and to top off a memorable meal and milestone in our lives.

    Went to Hardware in North Aurora and came away with mixed feelings…read more The good: ambiance is great and the drinks were on point. Had the Marilyn saison and a solid dark beer. Bar program is strong. The short rib pot pie was a straight up winner. Rich, comforting, and not trying to be anything other than good food done right. The bone marrow lost me. Cooked well, but buried under too many microgreens and then oddly topped with tortilla chip strips. No smokiness either. It felt more confused than cohesive. Where it really started to miss was the overall approach. A lot of "the chef intends this..." type explanations. It ends up feeling like the food insists upon itself instead of just letting you enjoy it. That's the bigger issue. This place exists in a space where I don't think most people want to meet it. Not casual enough to relax, not refined enough to justify the performance. Bottom line: good drinks, great pot pie, but the experience tries a little too hard.

    A nightmare from start to finish…read more We purchased a dishwasher. Turns out the door was extremely difficult to open and close. When my husband called the number to call with any problems he was told the door was defective and the machine needed to be replaced. OK. Fast forward to the next week. The crew came to include the installer. Although my husband turned off the main water supply he specifically told the installer to turn the water supply off under the sink because there could be accumulated water in the line. The installer said no need to do that and did it his way. At that point water started to gush out and we both were scrambling to grab bath towels to clean up the mess. In addition, they scratched the tile on the floor when pushing the refrigerator back in. The next day my husband noticed that the kick plate was crooked. He went to straighten it out and realized that only one side was screwed in. That prompted him to take a flash light and look underneath. Turns out the grounding wire was not connected. I hope people understand how serious that is plus none of the wires were taped. Also, the metal junction box to cover the wires was missing. My husband went to the store and talked to a manager. We then received a call that a different person would come the following week to correct the electrical issue and to bring a junction box. He also confirmed the delivery date and a reminder to bring the junction box with their BOT. The following week the THIRD crew came to our house. The grounding wire issue was corrected and the wires were taped. Now, where is the metal junction box? The drivers don't have it. One showed me the info that the warehouse receives directly from the store. It did NOT include the instructions to bring the junction box. My husband then went to the store and was given one. He then came home and completed the final steps of the dishwasher installation. We have purchased all of the appliances in our home from Home Depot. Our last two came with delivery/installation issues. This will be the last time that we purchase any appliances from Home Depot.

    Shame that I live down the street and this monstrosity of a home depot sucks...they no longer care…read moreabout the average customer, you are literally just another quick sell to them...they totally botched my 25k deck design, the entire process was agonizing...from their 3rd party rude truck drivers (items were never on time, often damaged, and inaccurate) and they thought i was lying (twice) about missing merchandise when refusing a delivery...if you go to the PRO DESK, good luck, they simply don't have time for you. Response time to voice messages and emails took week, managers impossible to get a hold of...bottom line, home depot has become such a monopoly in the hardware industry game, that they have forgotten what they build their morals on, CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will never use them for a project again, they are only good for convenience shopping. See you at LOWE'S!

    I've been shopping at Menards for many years and love their 11percent off sales. Needed to pick up…read moreone item the other day and was able to get in out quickly. They had plenty of open cashier's. Stores are clean, and seem to have almost everything under the sun for a home improvement store.

    Not having been back to a Menards in a very long time, I found the prices still to be the lowest…read moreamong the major home improvement centers (i.e. Home Depot, Lowes), but the service this time was really good. Frankly, this surprised me. Menards was a very important name early in my adulthood where free moments were occupied doing various things related to home improvement, and every weekend meant at least one trip to Menards. You accepted the observation that service and quality was better at other places, but the prices couldn't be beat and you had to weigh how long the product had to last. And for things that needed to be changed out (batteries, light bulbs), buying it at Menards was a no-brainer. Also, I worked in Wisconsin, and many co-workers would tell unpleasant stories about friends who worked at HQ and the main DC in Eau Claire. So this is the view that I lived with. This time my BIL wanted to go to Menards initially, so that's where we started. I ended up going back by myself multiple times because of my experience (and will probably go back again while in Chicago). There were multiple times when I couldn't find what I was looking for (I had time so didn't mind wandering a bit), or had to do something different (purchase toilets that would be later picked up by our contractor)...and each time, when I asked someone in that giant warehouse, they would direct me to the right place, call someone over to help, or walk me to the place that had it if I had gotten lucky and asked the right department. Every person was pleasant and didn't appear to be in a hurry (which greatly helps a customer not feel bad about interrupting). Some things don't change though...this week, they have their 11% rebate on everything sale...20 years ago, I remember coordinating getting the right rebate form, sending the right receipt with it, actually mailing it in, and then forgetting about it, until a postcard came later with a credit to spend at Menards. They are notorious for this...the other box retailers have made rebates more automatic and digital, Menards continues to use postal mail, mainly so a larger percentage of people just drop out...plus it is a store credit, so it encourages to shop more in the future. And of course, because they are so big, they have the opportunity to purchase things not related to home improvement in bulk at certain times, and pass the savings on to their customer. They have groceries (not great prices), but you will also find baked goods, and frozen shrimp for really low prices. You just can't depend on it always being available.

    Love me some small-town stores. I know Ace is a "chain", but you usually find them in smaller towns…read moreand they function like more of a family than the big-box stores like Home Depot or Lowes, etc.. While they may not carry quite as much, i love that you get personalized, friendly help here from what seem like knowledgeable people. I've come here a couple times and didnt need anything too crazy. Employees seemed helpful. I had a question about re-screening a screen window. I didnt even realize this was a thing until my Mom told me, so asked a couple questions. They're doing good with Covid and trying to be conscientous with spacing and what-not. If you need something fairly basic, I say definitely give Ace a try. Give them some local support.

    Orderd a snowblower online. Went to pick it up to find out they didn't have what showed in…read moreinventory. Strike one. There were two sales associates that were standing there when I walked in to pick up my preorder. The lady must have been the Manager and she had the same machine but an earlier model which she cut me a deal on. I asked about needing oil for the blower and she claimed this brand didn't come with oil and so I asked them to add what was needed to my order. She asked the older gentleman to confirm what oil and he assured me it was two-stroke so we added that to my order. Got home and the day I needed to run the unit I read the manual and checked to see if the machine e had oil. It DID have oil and if needed it would have been 5W-30. Had I listened to the associates I would have put too much oil and wrong kind. I don't recommend this ACE
