Bargreen Ellingson Restaurant Supply & Design - Lots of metal ware

Bargreen Ellingson Restaurant Supply & Design

(2 reviews)

Thank you Jamie for always being so helpful and working with me helping me find the right products…read morefor work. I know I can always count on you helping me!

Bargreen Ellingson is distributor of supplies and equipment to restaurants, bars, hotels,…read morejanitorial companies and caterers. The Bend store is one link in the national chain.. Although clearly a trade supply store and some things (as in glassware and dishes and flatware) are only sold in gross quantities , it is open for sales to the public and there are things here that home cooks can buy in singles that might come in handy. As example, on our most recent visit we purchased more of our fav things to buy at Bargreen...stainless steel whisks of various sizes in good quality at a fraction of the price of other retail. (We've given a number of these away and hence the return for more.) We also picked up a single muddler of pretty decent quality from the bar section. As another example, if you were in the market for a big plastic, food quality storage tub in which to brine a holiday turkey, this would be the place to find one at a decent price. Or a REALLY big, unbreakable, salad bowl to take that salad for 30 to the school potluck at a price point that wouldn't break the bank if it wasn't returned. Located in the building originally constructed a couple of years ago to house Austin Tile, a great business now sadly defunct due to Bend's recession, as you enter from the private parking lot (hooray - ample parking) you'll note all the stonework on the building exterior and a massive high ceilinged lobby with a sort of spiral staircase up to the second floor. (If you're not able to climb stairs, have no worries...there is an elevator at the rear of the first floor...with nicely mosaic tiled walls to remind us all of the original tile company.) In our experience, there has always been a very helpful someone at the front desk to ask if you're looking for something specific and to point you in that direction, or to invite you to wander if that's what you are there to do. Maybe it's just us, but our recent visit to Bargreen's it seemed darker, less well stocked and overall less "zing" than on earlier visits. Bargreen's seemed to show the impact of the economic slowdown in Bend. Hard to fathom as even now restaurants seem to be opening and closing and changing hands at a pretty good clip in this tourist fueled city of about 80,000 people. But maybe the restaurant ownership changes mean old existing equipment and materials get recycled not purchased new. The second floor is where the restaurant specific glassware, dishware, furniture and accent "stuff" (like menu covers) are displayed. The first floor houses bar supplies, janitorial supplies and a plethora of kitchen use / cookware of all knds. It's probably the second floor more than the first that shows the "bloom off the rose" these days. We are people who can easily entertain ourselves for long periods by looking about in well stocked cooking stores, even in smaller stores like the delightful Ginger's on Bend's westside or the kitchen / baking section of Newport Avenue Market. We go in for one thing, and end up browsing to find something else useful. When we travel, cooking stores (and great grocery stores for that matter) are destination stops for us. We had quite a lot of fun exploring Bargreens when they first opened in Bend...but now it's a place where we are on a hunt for something specific, we get it and leave. But three stars means AOK after all, and while we recognize we are not their target market, Bargreens is that for us as home cooks. .

Silipint - Info tag for collapsible dog bowl

I discovered the Great Silipint thanks to Think NY, Drink NY Craft Brewers association. I…read moreabsolutely love these items! What is a silipint you ask? Well the description is right in the name! It is a silicone material that is somewhat flexible yet useful. Funny enough the company started out with it's foldable dog bowls and grew from there! On my first direct order I got the 22oz bomber with an XL travel lid. The reusable straw was included free in the order. I also just had to purchase one of the dog bowls, as they fold up so much nicer than my collapsible bowl I use now. I could not be more impressed. The cup is perfect for around the house and all my outdoor adventures whether poolside, camping, or a driveway happy hour. It is dishwasher safe, keeps my drinks incredibly cold or hot, and doesn't sweat. The dog bowl is huge, yet folds down to a very tiny size that fits in my pack or even my dog's backpack. It too is dishwasher safe. I have now ordered a human bowl, a smaller pint, another straw, and another dog bowl. Shipping is quick and free over a certain threshold. You can also find their products at many retailers/breweries with their special branding on it, such as Lake Placid Brewery, Founders, Salty Dog, Duluth trading and more. Have a business, wedding, or special occasion? These guys will work with you to create your own special design! Love this great company from my birth place of Bend, OR!

LOVE MY SILIPINTS!!!! If you have never associated themat name with one of those weird…read moresoft"glasses", this is what they are called and this is the best place in town to find them. Although this is primarily the shipping center for the entire world, they also have a small retail location in front where you can shop to your heart's delight. Don't be fooled by Google maps. The mapping system will take you directly to their loading dock at the back of the building. Do yourself a favor. Walk around to the front of the building and enter through the front door. There's a beautiful courtyard out front that is shared with the brewery next door as well as some other businesses. These glasses and bowls have great insulating properties, keeping cold cold and hot hot. They also don't sweat. Best of all they are unbreakable. Perfect for packing on a trip, taking camping, or just drinking on the back porch. Then when your dog knocks over your drink while trying to get a snort, the glass doesn't break and leave a pile of glass to pick up..... Being that this is the world headquarters you can have custom designs added to your Silipint..... but that option is primarily available for larger commercial orders. If you're in Central Oregon, come here and pick up a couple. You'll be glad that you did!

Johnson Brothers Appliances - local appreciation

I recently purchased a range from Johnson Brothers Appliances. Daniel, the Director of Sales,…read moreassured me that he would assist me with any issues. However, when I called the next morning after the delivery, he was unhelpful and unpleasant! Initially, I was excited to use my new range! However, that evening, I noticed that the outside became extremely hot while baking a pizza. I called the next morning, and Eric answered the phone. He was rude and dismissed my concerns, stating that ranges are going to get hot. He transferred my call to Daniel, who argued with me, insisting that he didn't want to "play ring around the Rosie with me and ranges!" During another conversation, Daniel made it clear that this wasn't a "blouse I bought at Walmart that I wanted to return!" These responses were unacceptable! Consequently, I decided not to exchange the range and will not purchase from this unpleasant and unprofessional company again. I am disappointed with the poor customer service provided by this local appliance store. After enduring several unpleasant phone calls and writing a letter to them (which included a statement from their own service representative who inspected the range and identified a "poor design issue"), I finally received a refund. While they may be satisfactory when you make a purchase, they offer terrible customer service if you encounter any problems, even if you contact them within the 48-hour window after delivery. I cannot recommend this company!

It was scheduled for delivery to our home in La Pine on November 12, 2025. The Account Manager, Stephen Mount, met us shortly after our arrival. He was pleasant and cordial when showing us the various examples of the Speed Queen washers and dryers. He carefully explained the similarities and differences which we examined and considered. We settled on the stackable model because of our limited laundry room space. The stackable gave us additional useful space. The delivery, hookup, and demonstration took place by their delivery personnel Kyle and Axel. Both individuals were obviously experienced and very careful in both old appliance removal new appliance installation. The 4" exhaust tube was readily cut to an appropriate length and hooked up by two clamps. The 4-prong 240V electrical cord was only 6 feet long and barely reached the outlet at the bottom of the wall. However, Kyle was able to reverse the outlet plugin to make it fit. A slight recommendation on my part would be to carry both a 6-foot and 8-foot 240V cord to accommodate these instances. I'm highly impressed with both the knowledge and professionalism of their store staff and technical staff. They make purchases very easy and painless. I highly recommend Johnson Brothers for any household appliances you may need. They have a plethora of types, styles, and sizes to fit the need of every homeowner.

Blown away. Super, super folks. After downsizing we wanted to change out our laminate counter top…read morein the kitchen. It's a small house and the counter top is large. Any flaws WILL be seen. We shopped a couple of stores in town and nobody really connected with us. We had granite in our kitchen when we built our home over 20 years ago. And hated every minute of it. The seams were huge, the edge was poor and the experience was beyond awful. So we wanted to avoid all that. As we are laying out the stone we walked back into the shop and talked with the foreman about our concern w/the seams. He showed us the method they use and we were satisfied. He turned over a slab and showed us the cams to keep the seams tight. It really helped to talk to the people that would be doing our work. We also chose a chiseled self edge. Which we were a bit apprehensive about. Done right it looks great. Done "not right" you catch your shirt on the edge as you walk past. Demo day comes and the crew pops off our old counter in a jiffy, clean up and lay out for the new granite. I think we got the layout as a pdf that afternoon. Approved it and we were off. The time from layout to install was a tiny bit long. I think there was a Holiday in there as well. This would probably be the only thing Imagine could improve on. Tub washing the dishes was getting old. The install went great. And all our fears about large seams and off kilter counters over the cabinets were allayed. You literally have to look closely to see where the seams were bookended. Pass your hand over the seam and there is nothing. The chiseled edge was honed down so it still looks great...but doesn't catch your clothing We are beyond happy with Imagine Stone. Next project...bathrooms
