Elliott's has been around Dallas since the 1940s when Mr. Elliott started a small hardware store. Their Plano location is one of their larger stores. Their new facility across the street (now located at 2300 Coit Road, Suite 100, Plano) is a major improvement and equally as convenient as the previous location. Elliott's is a great neighborhood alternative to Home Depot or Lowe's and a great place to get your questions answered. This is about as close as you can come to an old fashioned hardware store. A number of specialty items are offered here that are not readily available at other retailers. This is not the cheapest place to go, but Elliott's is a smaller chain and it's not possible to compete with the large retailers on price, so Elliott's is the place to go for convenience and good service. They also have locations in North Dallas, Mesquite, and East Dallas if you are in a different area of town. read more

I love this place, even though it's a forty minute drive from my house. I had a European cabinet hinge that recently broke and needed to be replaced. I removed the broken hinge and took it with me to my local Lowe's. The sales associate there told me I would need to measure the distance between the lip of my cabinet door and the hinge before he could help me, as there were "Hundred's" of different hinges available. I pointed out that I had the hinge with me, but he gestured towards a parts bin and disappeared. My next stop was Ace Hardware where I was directed to an aisle and left to fend for myself. The one hinge they had hanging was not the right size, so I left and drove all the way to Elliott's where I should have started in the first place! Inside Elliott's I walked over to the desk in the Hardware section, and the guy working the counter was on the phone with another customer. He saw the hinge in my hand and without even measuring anything he reached under the counter and pulled out exactly what I needed! This is indicative of the kind of customer service I've received every single time I go to Elliott's. The price I paid was probably more expensive than Lowe's, but the quality was much better than the hinge I was replacing, and I will gladly pay for that kind of customer service every time. Please don't change anything, I love your store just the way it is!!!! read more

Had a small plumbing job that no one at Home Depot seemed to be able to solve - I walk into Elliott's - Boom ! problem solved. Richard is a champ ! They've recently moved directly across to the other side of Coit Rd - but still open for business and have some of the most helpful staff I've met. read more

After going to the always-convenient Lowes/Home Depot to find a replacement for some cabinet hardware, I left frustrated as both stores never had someone around to assist or when there was someone, they would just point me to the aisle number and assume I could figure it out from there. My frustration led me to research what other comparable places that could help service my need and I ended up at Elliott's Hardware for the first time. I've always heard great things about this place from friends and colleagues but never been in one. Now, I realize why people choose this place. It's because the employees love to help their customers and know how to get you the answer the quickest way possible. It took me about an hour between Lowes/Home Depot to try and figure out if any of their hardware matched or would align with my current setting. Most of the products looked very cheap and dainty. But at Elliott's, I just show the guy what I was needing with my old broken piece and he quickly walked to me to the hardware counter and provided me with the EXACT hardware within 5 minutes. A nice solid, new piece of hardware for my cabinet. My life is now complete knowing Elliott's Hardware can help ease my mind about finding home repair solutions when in need. Thank you for that! read more

Went in to get paint samples. Waited in the paint department for 10 minutes and no one came by. So I went into another department to see if they could summon someone. He called but still no one showed up. How do they stay in business path service like that? Normally go to Home Depot and Lowes and I guess I will still do that. read more

Place hays everything you need. Even allowed us to bring home some cabinet hardware to see if we like it!

When you need something for your home or yard this is the place to go. I usually don't go here first if it's for a common item but if it's for something unusual or specialized or nuts and bolts, this is the place that has the biggest selection. I've never had a bad experience. There is always someone available to give expert advise, whether for hardware, paint, cleaning supplies,electrical, or any other thing in the store. read more

I tend to go to the big box/Home Depot/Lowe's compare 7 different kinds of drills or 5 different lawnmowers. If I need an odd sized or odd quantity of bolts, nuts, screws, or other strange "thing" that I can't identify, or if I need to get something quick to keep a project going, I visit Elliott's. (It's very close to me, thank goodness). Generally I'm helped very quickly and with a very friendly attitude. There is one long time employee that I recognize as being stand-offish or even grumpy, so I just avoid him. Prices can be higher for some items, but just try to go to another store and buy only 3 screws. My only wish is that they still carried the Dept 56 Christmas line. When they moved to the new location they didn't have room. That used to be a go-to during the holidays when we were stuck for a gift. read more

Went into Elliot's today to get bearings. An older employee with shoulder length gray hair and glasses wearing a cap asked if I needed help. Me, "Yes, I'm looking for bearings." Employee, "Ball or %@#?" (I didn't hear the second option.) Me, "Probably ball" Employee, "You don't know?" Me, "I'm going to use a bunch of them to break up rust from the inside of a fuel tank." He then takes me over to the ball bearings and shows me the options. At .70 each, I thought I could find a cheaper solution. I said to the man that I might try a box of small screws instead as it would be cheaper. He stepped over to an area of screws, pulled out and pushed in a few bins of screws quickly while mumbling something about boxes in a confusingly irritated and condescending tone. By the time I stepped over close enough to see inside the bins he was flinging open and shut, he was done and started to walk off. I asked him were I could find boxes of screws because I had not see them at the back of the bins he had been slinging in and out. Now I'm not a sensitive person by anyone's measure, but the "I'm talking to an idiot child" tone he took with me as he pulled out a bin and said, "Uh, right here in the back" lacked any subtly or confusion. Not sure what set him off. I can't imagine I'm the most clueless customer one might find in a hardware store, but even if I am, it doesn't warrant that kind of attitude. So I didn't have a solid idea of what I was looking for, I guess that's why they employ people like him. After he left, I thought about the interaction for a moment in front of the screws and decided I could get this kind of surly attitude at Home Depot for less cost and it's closer to my house. So I walked out and did just that. read more

Wow, this is a fantastic store! We moved into a new (old) house and it seems like everything needs fixing. My hubby and I are constantly in need of some odd part or screw or something. Elliot's people seem to know what we need even when we're completely confused. read more

This is a nice hardware store, but they simply do not compete on pricing most of the time. I hate to say it, but most of the time I just window shop when I am in the neighborhood. I will pick up small things if the drive to Depot is going to cost me more than the price difference. Parking is plentiful, and the employees that I have dealt with are nice. read more

Ridiculously over-priced and over rated, 90% of what Elliot's Hardware sales can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart for a fraction of what Elliott's charge. Customer service is pathetic at best. Save your money and time and go to one of the big box hardware/lumber yard. read more

Anyone who goes to Lowe's or Home Depot instead of Elliott's must wear velcro shoes and a helmet. The service is the best and they have everything you could possibly need. They've even downsold me before when I truly didn't need something to get the job done! It doesn't hurt they are within walking distance from my condo! read more

We needed a replacement sprayer head for a kitchen faucet and because of the cost of the replacement part, Elliot's Hardware made the warranty process as difficult as possible. Rather than speak with the manufacturer regarding warranty process and paperwork needed, I (the customer) was asked to be the mediator between the two parties. In one days time, I made no less than 6 calls between the two. Finally after weeks of wasted water and endless calls/emails, the distributor stepped up to expedite the replacement order. Be careful purchasing high end fixtures at Elliot's Hardware in Plano. The battle for Elliot's to honor a lifetime warrantied high end fixture was unreal. read more

This place is awesome, find the screws that the big DIY places don't bother to carry. When the guy at Home Depot needs a screw, this is where he goes. They also carry high end Bbq rigs. The new location is across the street from the old one read more

They have everything here that you might not find at a Home Depot or Lowes. Have every kind of screw, nut, washer, etc. If you cannot find it here it is probably not made. Also can actually find someone to help you here unlike most of the box home improvement stores. The employees know how to treat their customers. read more

I could not be happier with Elliott's Hardware. It is my goto place for any uncommon screws, bits etc. I needed 5 and 3 mm drill bits for a project and could not find them anywhere other than some expensive sets on Amazon. I called and asked if they had it and they checked their stock while I was on the phone. 20 min later and I had my bits. Since then I have been back twice and could not be happier. All the staff is super nice and knowledgable. read more

Advice here can be hit or miss but they definitely try to be as helpful as possible. Selections isn't as diverse as HD or Lowe's but I love the whole neighborhood hardware store feel. They've been sending me $10 gift card each year in December for my bday which is perfect for buying stocking stuffers. read more

After being directed to the Plano location by the Oak Lawn folks on a wild goose chase, and after finding out they conveniently closed at 6pm (guess I should take a vacation day to visit a hardware store??), I called ahead and described exactly what I needed, exactly what I did NOT want, and went through a litany of requirements over the phone as to have the items ready so the wifey could pick them up. I was impressed. The guy on the other end of the line acted like he knew exactly what I was talking about and very happily helped me w/ my conundrum. One problem. When wifey got home, he gave her the exact OPPOSITE of what I asked for. Everything I told him NOT to do, he did. Everything I said to NOT include, he threw in. Again, I know I'm supposed to support Mr Little Guy, but Mr Little Guy better start hiring people that can read/write. So again, back to Home Depot. read more

My roommate forces me to go to this place because we're all supposed to be "supporting local businesses" now and such. Well it's actually a pretty cool little place. When you walk in, it feels like you just walked into a hardware store in a town with a population of 12. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help, but not pushy. I'd go back. read more

I went in to replace an antique doorknob that I thought I would have to special order. When they didn't have the right parts, they wrote down all the information for me (including the employee's name at the other location) so I could pick it up myself during the week. Later, when I had to go back because I was still missing the right latch, the employee dug through drawers of miscellaneous parts until he finally found me something that would work. The employees are knowledgeable and extremely helpful, but every time I went I got redirected a bunch of times until they decided on exactly the right expert. Not the smoothest or quickest shopping experience, but they'll make sure you've got what you need. read more

So delighted that Elliot's is now across the street from its old location. It went into the old Mardel store. Larger than ever. Licensed plumbers staff the plumbing section. The staff is very knowledgeable. Once I brought in a broken lamp and the guy fixed it for free, just charging me for the parts. I go to Elliot's first, before the big box stores. read more

This review is for the Fairview store. I've spent the last 2 days going from various Home Depot's and/or Lowe's. I stripped the bolts to my beautiful bed and moved 2days ago. Brought the bolts with me but they couldn't/wouldn't help me. Then I remembered Elliott's in Fairview. Archie in the hardware department figured out what I need in less than 10 minutes. So grateful to him and he is so friendly and sweet. I'm done doing business with the big box stores and will return to this location for future business. read more

Lucky for me my experience with Elliott's Hardware was short lived. I value the input of other customers and compare it to my own experience. I called the Plano store and the first time the phone just rang and rang so I tried the Mesquite store and the call was answered. I was transferred to the department that would be able to assist me. The person assisting me seemed to have really put forth effort to find my answer and came back with..."I'm sorry we do not carry this product" I said thank you and disconnected the call. Not to give up, I tried calling the Plano store again. The person answering put me on hold for about 2 minutes and came back and actually said ooops sorry, I forgot about you and transferred me to the department that could assist me. I proceeded to ask if they carry the product I needed as I was simply comparing prices between Lowe's, Home Depot and now Elliott's. He was quick to say no they did not. So, I asked if they could some how acquire this products. He said no, they do not do that. While I continue to make my request he insisted to stick with his answer. Instead of escalating this issue, I came to my own conclusion... DON'T BELIEVE THEIR CORE VALUE or MOTTO: If you need it, we'll probably have it. If not, we'll get it for you and the next customer. By far this is NOT a true statement. "DUNNN" read more

Needed to fix my outdoor faucet. Took the parts to the store and the guy told me what I had to replace. When he didn't have the individual part in stock he cannibalized a kit to get the part. The parts were very reasonably priced and the faucet was fixed successfully. Wish they had a store closer to me, I would go there instead of to Lowe's or Home Depot. read more

While I agree for convenience and specialized stock, it is hard to beat Elliott's. They get a BIG Thumbs Down on Customer Service and attitude. While waiting (I I mean waiting in line (10:00 am week day) the cashier (ONLY 1), answers the phone while checking out customer (and I don't mean and occasional call, she is the switch board), never mind there are several people in line waiting on her. When I finally got to her, I suggested it was RUDE to make people wait on her to answer the phone while in line. She PROTESTED back, not her fault, Elliot's is aware and don't care. She suggested I tell the manager, I said o.k. and waited several minutes but he never came to the front! Maybe next time, if in line, call Elliot's, when the call is answered, as them to HOLD - you might reduce your wait in line by 2/3! read more

Love Elliot's. You get what you pay for. They carry Benjamin Moore paint, my favorite paint, so I'm in there too often. They carry higher end everything, like a Neiman's for hardware stores. Most of the time I just look and don't buy. It's a great store. read more

Elliot's use to be the place you went to get a odd item immediately when you needed it fast. Since they stopped having the unique stuff such as table extenders on site plumbing parts and sinks and faucets they have gone downhill. They are loser g so much money now to Home Depot and Lowes that they actually had to move across the street to a smaller store. The unique stuff is what kept them in buisiness. It won't be long now before they fold up and disappear. Too bad. read more

I have made several purchases that either had to be ordered or delivered. With each purchase, "promised delivery dates and times" were missed. Each time I was promised a follow up phone call to provide an update, never happened. As a customer I feel that I have to raise a red flag to tell them that there is a problem It appears they have no internal tracking or follow up process's to enhance the customer experience. Hearing sorry vs. "this is what we can for you" is the only thing they do when challenged with a service situation. If you are looking for a customer service experience that will not only wow you and motivate you to return, don't shop here. read more

I thought Elliott's was famous for excellent customer service, but I've just had my third bad experience there. On the recommendation of Home Depot I took a screen in to be repaired on December 11, paid for the repair, and was told by the clerk that it would be ready "Thursday", but not to come get it until they called me. Two Thursdays passed with no phone call. On December 30 I called them and was told the screen was ready. When I went in to pick it up I had to hunt down a clerk to get my screen. He asked if they had called me. I told him I had called them. The screen was repaired as needed, but every time I go to Elliott's I have trouble finding someone to help me and am treated as if I have interrupted something far more important than waiting on a customer. read more

New store across the street is nice. But on my recent trip, the register was charging me more than the price sticker on the shelf. 100% if the items checked were wrong. And the staff did not really do anything about other than adjust as I asked for double checking. Very disappointing, I guess I will go back to home depot and Lowe's. Too bad read more

Elliotts is unique now, it is like hardware stores used to be. If you happen to be looking for a 1"x2.18" left-hand threaded doohickey with a thermocouple flange, you'll probably find it at Elliotts - you WILL NOT find it at Lowes or Home Depot (even if they stock it). Some would call me a cantankerous old fa*t (which I'll admit to) but when I need something fixed, I only want to make one trip for parts and feel confident that I can finish the job RIGHT. As many have said, good luck finding help at the big box stores - even less luck finding someone who knows anything past the time their shift ends. I have had mostly excellent results with Elliotts. With an occasional exception, I've talked with an ex-electrician, an ex-plumber, etc. in other words, someone who has been there and done that. They've been extremely helpful in spelling out exactly (sometimes in minute detail) what I must do and how I must do it. They've helped this old handyman complete a lot of fixes for which I wasn't qualified. I do appreciate them. They may not be perfect, but compared to their "competition," they stand out. read more

i actually went into Dallas from Plano when I first moved here 20 years ago. Just to go to Elliott's! The big box stores just don't cut it in comparison. I'm so happy they're right down the street from me. My Dad, 70 years ago, instilled the love of hardware stores into me. I can browse that store for hours and sometimes i do. Is it your typical Ace Hardware? I don't think so. read more

Always happy with the service, knowledge and professionalism at Elliott's'! The only place to go for hard to find items! Fasteners of all types....the best! Staff is always helpful unlike the big box stores! read more

Every visit I have had to this hardware store has been met with extremely friendly employees that always try their hardest to help me. Even when they couldn't help me I still left feeling happy I chose Elliott's hardware first. read more

I worked at Elliott's Hardware for 1 1/2 years. I started there when i was 15 and I absolutely loved it there. Elliott's is like a family and everyone is there for each other. I have remained friends with a lot of the people I worked with and still visit. If you ever go in and co-workers are chatting, just ask them a question because they would love to help you! You need help finding nuts and bolts? Just ask the guy in Fasteners! And on Saturday come in for some bbq around 12. Elliott's is truly an amazing place and the people there are there to help. read more

My sons and I bought a hummingbird feeder at the new location in Plano. I love it! The new store looks nice. Thank you.

My favorite store for personal help and advice you don't gt at the big box stores...fair prices, super employees, love the family and small town atmosphere. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to Elliott's Hardware, but I decided to surprise my husband today and buy a Big Green Egg for him for his birthday. We arrived about 30 minutes before they were going to close and when they were helping us load it in my SUV, we quickly realized that it was not going to fit in it. One of the guys (Joe) who worked there actually offered to load it in his truck and follow us to our house and help us unload it. Talk about customer service at its finest!!! He ended up leaving our house 30 - 45 minutes after he was supposed to get off of work...but went the extra mile to make sure we had an awesome customer experience!! He and Allen (another employee) told us everything we needed to know about the product. In fact, after we got home, we were watching videos about how to use the Big Green Egg and everything that was said in the video is exactly what they told us. I would definitely recommend Elliott's Hardware to anyone!!! read more

I was looking for a particular 60watt led light bulb and they ordered it without me requesting it. That was great customer service Mark.
