    I go to the Romeoville ace hardware for paint and small items. Everyone has always been helpful and courteous. I have never had an issue.

    I don't know how this place can only have a 4.0 when it well exceeds a 5 and then some!!!!!…read more The food- absolutely delish and not overly done with flavors that literally burst with flavor and freshness! The shishito peppers were so sweet and tangy in the bacon jelly and cheese and oozed with goodness! The steak and chicken were such a great combo to share between my husband and I with both being such different profiles of taste and actually complimented one another. The steak itself was absolutely perfect and the bread under soaked up all those juices so you didn't have to lick the plate after (great ingenuity when dining out :)) The desserts were fantastic but the star of the show was def the raspberry blondie. It was everything I imagined and more. The perfect sweet and tart mixed in a bowl with spoons ... thank you for not plating this - I felt like I was at home about to sit on the couch and indulge in something I created. Perfect experience, perfect presentation and to top it off their restaurant is surrounded by their farm. Tomatoes, jalapeños, peaches, peppers, micro greens, greens, herbs..... with everything going on today in this world and every thing being recalled this is a place I can stand behind doing it the right way! Service the phenomenal, food was perfection and atmosphere was next to none.... Thank you so much for such an amazing dinner out!

    Everything was fine, I didn't love this place like some others did…read more Medium charcuterie board was very good & had plenty for 2 to snack on. Wife had the Teras major steak with a portobello mushroom. Steak was good mushroom hardly had any mushroom in it & was tasteless. I had the fish & chip & fish was good, tartar was meh & potatoes were mushy Sangria was fine but small Bill was $135 B4 tip for 2 dinners an app & 1 alcoholic beverage. We won't be going back. *we were there on a chilly night, if we would've sat outside on their beautiful patio our experience may have been better

Definitely appreciate having such wonderful managers and employees at our local Lowes.

    UPDATE FOR THE INSTALLED SALES EXPERIENCE FOR THIS STORE…read more Bottom Line: Find another source if possible. https://www.complaintsboard.com/lowes-summit-installation-service-that-you-contract-with-horrible-c1449595 Used to be good with accountability to the customer now broken it seems from top down. Maybe the new management of Home Services will be able to right this badly listing ship. Lowe's own customer facing staff acknowledge the issues. Poor value due to loss of acknowledgement of the component of customer experience--often what happens when business school theory meets reality. Eight months into a simple project and Lowe's is still "working on it." No installer accountability. Another source and accurate given our experience: Lowe's home installation service frequently leaves customers frustrated primarily because the company outsources nearly all installation work to third-party contractors. Based on aggregated customer reports, several core factors contribute to these systemic failures: 1. Contractor Dependence Lowe's does not maintain a dedicated, in-house installation workforce for most products. Instead, orders are fulfilled by independent companies. These contractors operate semi-autonomously, leading to weak alignment with Lowe's customer service standards. Customer expectations of accountability are often unmet because contractors may prioritize their internal scheduling and profit over Lowe's policies or timelines. 2. Scheduling and Communication Breakdowns Many complaints cite repeated appointment rescheduling without notice, missed installation windows, and lack of proactive communication. Contractors sometimes fail to coordinate properly with customers or with Lowe's for order details, product availability, and site requirements, causing multi-week or multi-month delays. 3. Inconsistent Installer Competence Reviews frequently report unqualified or poorly trained installers, resulting in errors like: Incorrect measurements, Damaged products during installation, Requirement for structural changes (e.g., stucco handling, frame modifications). Because multiple installers may handle a single project sequentially, there is no continuity of accountability, leading to compounded delays and mistakes. 4. Fragmented Accountability Lowe's retains responsibility for product sales, but contractors handle site execution. Customers often receive conflicting guidance between Lowe's and the contracted company, making resolution slow or impossible. Executive and store-level interventions rarely resolve disputes effectively, as contractors may ignore directions or provide only minimal remediation. 5. Operational and Systemic Pressures Outsourcing is intended to reduce overhead costs, avoid large in-house labor commitments, and scale quickly across regions. The trade-off is that operational control over installation quality, timing, and customer service is lost. Third-party labor firms may be understaffed in certain areas, overbooked, or motivated by speed rather than customer satisfaction. Multiple examples report years-long delays, repeated reschedulings, and incompatible products failing inspection or being improperly fitted. Cases describe poor communication, lost payments, and contractors disregarding customer schedules. Lowe's installation service is severely challenged because the company's model outsources critical operational responsibilities to third parties without sufficient oversight, training, or incentive alignment. The combination of contractor independence, inconsistent skills, poor communication, and fragmented accountability results in the chronic delays, errors, and customer dissatisfaction widely reported. The root cause of Lowe's home installation issues is structural: relying on third-party contractors decouples installation quality from Lowe's control, creating systemic failures in scheduling, execution, and customer service. This suggests that without significant redesign of the outsourcing model or stricter oversight, inefficiencies and negative customer experiences will likely persist.

    Booked a truck through Home Depot that was fulfilled by Penske, and the experience was extremely…read moremisleading. The Home Depot site clearly states "unlimited mileage on ALL vehicles," which is not true for Penske rentals. There is no clear distinction during booking, and I was charged per mile after the fact. On top of that, Penske promotes a 15% discount code that is accepted during checkout but later denied, claiming it only applies to one-way rentals. This restriction is not clearly disclosed. I attempted to resolve this directly with both companies. Home Depot redirected me to Penske, Penske redirected me back to Home Depot, and a Penske supervisor even hung up on me during the call. After escalating to Home Depot corporate, I received a generic response with no resolution. This is not just poor communication -- it's misleading at the point of purchase

Was told "will open in a few minutes". I wandered the store awhile, and then saw doors were still not open. I had to go outside, retrieve my cart, go inside and paid for them at the self-checkout. The garden doors still closed almost 2 hours after opening time, lack of management presence and unconcerned staff attitude gives this visit a FAIL for customer service.
