The Brass Tacks: This place is the real McCoy local hardware store with a real helpful hardware…read moreman. This location was originally the location for one of the corporate hardware chains that pulled out several years ago. It is now run independently by a family team. It's one of those locations where you wouldn't be surprised to see a Fatfender pickup or two parked in front. In terms of selection It has everything you'd expect to find in a local hardware store packed into a non-big box space. Sure, you may pay a couple of extra cents for some items, still a fair value for the convenience, but not enough to drive you to the anonymous experience at a big box. Give them a try for a little more personalized attention.

In an era of massive, impersonal big-box stores where you have to walk half a mile just to find a…read morelightbulb, Clarendon Hills Hardware is a breath of fresh air. It's exactly what a local hardware store should be: organized, stocked with quality tools, and staffed by people who actually know how to fix things. ​I came in for a specific project and instead of just pointing me to an aisle, the staff took the time to talk through the repair with me, saving me a second trip and a lot of frustration. It's clear they care about the community and their craft. Whether you need a screen repaired, a key cut, or just some honest advice, skip the drive to the giant retailers and support this local gem. Highly recommended!

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!

Ace Hardware (Buikema's) - Naperville, around 8:40 PM this morning February 4th…read more I had a great start with the first cashier who was genuinely helpful showing me how to use coupons in the Ace app. But she got pulled away to handle something with another customer and asked another employee to finish checking me out and apply the remaining discounts. That second employee (older woman, blonde hair pulled back, glasses) made a very obvious full-body "really?/come on" reaction and rolled her eyes while I was pulling up the last coupon. She used a rude tone, pointed the scanner at my phone impatiently, and acted annoyed the entire time I was trying to show the final discount. I asked calmly if she was aggravated that I used coupons. She walked away while responding, wouldn't engage, and said I "misinterpreted" her with her back turned. It was crass and uncomfortable -- especially since I was polite and simply using the store's own app discounts. I shop here because I expect friendly, respectful service. I hope management addresses how customers are treated when using coupons. I'm not trying to play the senior citizen card but I am near 65 and I do fuss with apps. I wasn't born with a cell phone in my hand!

Longtime Customer, but Disappointed by Recent Service ChargeI've been a customer of Fullers…read moreHardware ever since I moved to Clarendon Hills, and over the years, I've relied on them not just for hardware needs but also for home repair services. They've always been helpful, knowledgeable, and a great local resource -- which I really value. However, my most recent experience in October 2024 and May 2025 left me a bit disappointed. A heavy picture had fallen in our bedroom, and since I couldn't lift it myself, I called Fullers for help. They sent two people, who re-hung the picture in about 10 minutes. I also asked them to recaulk a small section (about 10 inches) in the shower, which took another 10 minutes. I was surprised to receive a bill for $175.00. I assumed this was a minimum service charge, and I paid it, but it still felt quite steep for a total of roughly 20 minutes of relatively simple work. The first week in May 2025, I called and told them the calking they had done was again in bad shape and been done right the first time. They sent someone. Took 10 minutes to repair and charged me another $175.00. I called to complain.was given no relief and I think was treated discourteously. While I appreciate the responsiveness a of the service, I think it would be helpful if the pricing structure -- especially for small jobs -- was more transparent. I won't call them again for minor home repairs in the future. There is a saying often heard in Hinsdale---"I've been 'Fullerized'. Now I know what it means. Caveat Emptor

They had the best price, selection, delivery, setup and service on a Weber grill this past Spring. This is what I imagine a family owned general store of yesteryear to be. Great service, decent prices, staff knowledgeable and willing to check for new shipments, know their merchandise and willing & able to help. I will go out of my way to shop here and hopefully if others do as well, they'll remain vibrant and relevant and open.

Richard S, Your…read moreresponse confirms the central fact of my review: I purchased $1 worth of merchandise (2 rubber washers) with a debit card, and your employee added $2 in "labor" solely to bring the transaction up to your $3 minimum, even though no additional labor or service was performed. Instead of addressing that, you are attempting to make my reaction the issue. I walked into your store to make a purchase. I did not walk in yelling at anyone. I became angry only after I questioned the charge, called the store and was hung up on, and then returned and was treated dismissively. You are focusing entirely on my eventual reaction while conveniently omitting what caused it. Saying that I "could have walked out" also misses the point. You charged my debit card $2 for "labor" that was never performed. Your own response acknowledges why the $2 was added. I am not asking you to agree with my interpretation of the applicable debit-card rules. I am perfectly willing to let the appropriate consumer-protection authorities and payment-card network determine whether this practice complies with their requirements. And taking a shot at me for misspelling the store's name rather than addressing the substance of the complaint only reinforces the attitude I described in my original review. This was never about $2. It was about how the $2 was charged and how a customer was treated after questioning it. I stand by my review.
