Yeah, I kinda know my way around a commercial kitchen, and even though I haven't worked "the line"…read morein a while, I still enjoy visiting restaurant supply warehouses for new pots, pans, and kitchen gadgets to use at home. Louis Wohl & Sons (the same folks who advertise on TV) have both a wholesale operation selling to commercial restaurant operations, as well as an entire retail store (Chef's Warehouse) which is open to the general public. The two facilities are located in a very large building along 46th Street in between Fowler Ave and Busch Blvd. The building is located in a quiet residential area of town, south of USF and very near MOSI. As you enter the doorway to Chef's Warehouse you're greeted by one of the staff who will gladly walk you around the store answering your questions and helping you find various items. If you're a home cook looking for items that are a bit sturdier, and will last a bit longer than what you might find in a high-end cookware store at the mall, then Chef's Warehouse is the spot for you. They have pots, pans, bakeware, cooking utensils, high-quality knives, cutting boards, bar ware, food storage containers, and a wide variety of plates, glasses, cutlery, and serving items. If you frequently throw dinner parties, or just enjoy entertaining at home then you'll marvel at the selection at Chef's Warehouse. This is the perfect place to visit if you have a small catering or food truck business. I walked in today looking for some extra half-sized sheet pans and cooling racks for tomorrow's big chicken wing roasting festivity, and found exactly what I wanted at a price MUCH cheaper than I would have paid at the better-known cookware stores. In general the quality of the cookware is superior since these items are designed to be used in commercial kitchens, and the price is often better as well. Take a tip and pay this place a visit!

Louis Wohl & Sons sell to commercial restaurants, but they also have the retail store "Chef's Warehouse". There are not many restaurant supply stores that are open to the public, so this was a great find. My boyfriend is a line cook, as well as a cook at home. He had become interested in buying newer/better cookware, similar to what he uses at his job. We have gone there twice, and left with a frying pan, chef's jacket, knife, knife guard, and meat thermometer. They also have chef shoes and pants, strainers, dishware, hot dog warmers, coolers, pots, and a myriad of other kitchen utensils. Since they mainly cater to restaurants, some of the prices are pretty steep for an individual. For example, we will not be paying $70 for a frying pan. However, there are plenty of reasonably priced options for those who are more money conscience. If you are a cook and interested in some high quality kitchen ware, you should check out this place.

My boss/ sad Cleveland Indians fan and I stumbled upon Oceanic Restaurant Supply during our…read morepho-making quest. As I examined the tattered, post-apocalyptic front entrance, my loins swelled with excitement, and my shoulders rolled back which consequently puffed my chest. I could smell the kitchen gods screaming in my ear... "Big savings. Big savings, man." I sighed. I was ready. My first thoughts inside, though? "Oh my goodness, this place must have been featured on an episode of Hoarders (A&E)." With stacked brown boxes hugging the ceiling, dim sum steamer trays hovering overhead, and a grip of Japanese knives hanging from shelves, this store would probably wet an Asian restaurant owner's pants. And mine became wet, too, when I saw the marvelous, thirty-plus quart pots near the entrance for only $45ish. Sure, I don't like aluminum all too much, but for one-time use, and when compared to high-end kitchen stores that charge north of $100--although, very nice-- for something less than 15 quarts, it's a solid deal. But yeah, they have every kitchen supply one could ever want at an affordable price, such as a $2.79 soup skimmer. Hours earlier, we bought one for $20 at a fancy store. Crapppppp. The owner, who also works at a nearby cafe, answered all our questions and worked hard to find an ideally sized pot. I would have a cold beer with him. Heineken, of course. Dear homeboy or homegirl looking to cook pho -- peep this place to buy all the supplies you need.

The kitchen designer got the order completely wrong. I ordered this kitchen in the store and…read moretrusted that the sales rep was ordering what I told him my need was. I drove 100+ miles and picked up my kitchen. After spending a few hours assembling the cabinets I realized that the cabinets were not the right size. 30" vs the 36" I had indicated that I needed. I was Not happy but decided to just deal with it and use what I was sold. When I went to install the cabinets on the wall I realized that the over the refrigerator cabinet was 24" deep instead of the 14" that I had requested to match the depth of the rest of the cabinets. This was a deal breaker for me as this cabinet door would not open due to it hitting the refrigerator hinges. I called customer service and spoke with someone that I could barely understand and explained the situation. When I was done explaining, the line was disconnected!!!. I started over and spoke to another person that was hard to understand with a dog barking in the background. This person set me up with an online appointment to resolve the problem. Six hours later I had the online appointment where the nice person that I could understand explained to me that they only designed kitchens and had no authority to resolve the situation. He then gave me a phone number to call to resolve the situation which was the same number that I had originally called. I called again and the individual I spoke to didnt seem to have enough knowledge about their product to help me. At this point I asked to return the cabinets. Ikea will pick up the cabinets in 9 DAYS. Then 5-6 business days later I will be refunded the money. So now I have to wait two more weeks to be able to reorder cabinets elsewhere because my money is tied up by this fiasco!

If you're looking to shop early for a holiday at full price they have it (Easter, 4th of July, St Patrick's day) I suggest waiting for the clearance prices.

It's also a great place for holiday décor sales. The Halloween & Thanksgiving items are 75% off, and the Christmas items are 50% off as of January 2024. Unfortunately, this last visit was a mixture of the good and the ugly. The good was that they are stocking even more items than ever before. If you can't find it anywhere else for a good price, then you'll definitely find it here. The employees are always very nice & helpful. The ugly was the restroom situation. I should have known right away when I saw the dirty door leading into the restroom. I'm not exaggerating when I say it is absolutely atrocious. I certainly hope that the employees have their own private bathroom. To add insult to injury, they had no paper towels or toilet paper in the dispensers. Most likely because they were all rusted and falling apart. The toilet paper roll was just sitting on top of the toilet tank lid. The paper towel roll was by the sink. How many hands have touched these paper product rolls? It was horrifying! I had to use my own hand sanitizer after touching that towel roll. The only thing operational in that restroom was the soap dispenser on the wall. Honestly, I don't remember it ever being this unsanitary. I hope management can get with their corporate office to get a total renovation. It's very sad.

Ken indicated he had no ability to provide a prompt a quick turnaround for a replacement. A new order was placed...That fridge did not last even 8 hours and it was not cooling! Yes - more food was spoiled and tossed out. 3rd try... I finally got a GE Fridge that worked! I have had conversations with Ken, by phone as well email. He is ineffective at any level of customer empathy, or responding in a Service minded manner! Takes an order acts rushed most of the time... he is selling only to help Ken Gough make a buck! I have asked for some consideration due to their reseller relationship with GE - that I would be provided any form of remuneration for the amount of food loss and time invested in a final resolution. NOTHING offered! This is the last time I will buy anything from F Tate Appliance... and I will be proactive to insert bad reviews to folks I know as well on the Nextdoor app for my community and Facebook too!
