    At this location, members of the public can just walk in, I'm told all other stores require a membership. This store is crazy huge and has anything one might need for a restaurant. Dishes, knives, pans, coffee pots, giant containers of spices, canned fruit, 100# bags of rice, seafood, meat, cheesecakes, fruit, veggies. Admittedly, one doesn't always need a bag of carrots the size of a small kindergartner. I ended up buying a #15 box of bacon ($2.90 /pound) and a 9# hunk of ribeye ($4.29 /pound.) I didn't quite understand the hunks of meat so I asked a meat employee standing nearby and he patiently explained my options. I mistakenly bought a box of Canadian bacon instead of bacon and the return was easy, although admittedly I should have gotten another big, bulky cart to push around rather than try to carry both boxes myself. (You can return refrigerated goods within 72 hours.) I would characterize the employees as efficient, but not particularly friendly overall. They do have a big sign stating that they will open up a new checkout lane when there's more than two or three people in line. I was about to write that in my review that the lines were too long the first time and Voila, they opened up a new line. When my cashier saw me struggling with my two boxes, she offered to have me to come around and put them on her counter while I waited for the order ahead of me. If you wanted to have some sort of bulk cooking party, and this would be an awesome place to stroll around and get ideas. Stop in and browse!

    There are only two Restaurant Depot stores in the state of MN and unlike the St. Paul location, this one is open to the public :-) The first thing I'll say is don't judge a book by it's cover. This is a very old building (formerly a Best Buy) but once you start to walk around this place and have a better idea of just how much stuff they have, you will be amazed. The interior is a huge warehouse, somewhat similar to a Costco or Sam's Club although not quite as bright and colorful. Aside from restaurant and catering supplies, you can also purchase groceries here. They offer most items by the case so bulk discounts are plentiful, but many items are available as individual units as well. The selection is much too expansive to even mention the various categories of everything sold here. I'd suggest going to their website www.therdstore.com or just stop by here and see the warehouse in person. I'll try to compile a brief list of some of the items they have. Groceries such as: bulk canned goods, spices, bulk bags of rice, various oils, food coloring and flavorings, fresh produce, meats, cheeses, poultry, seafood, various frozen foods, desserts, juices, milk, baked goods, snacks, candy bars, and more... Supplies such as: napkin/paper towel dispensers, plastic and metal utensils, various dishes, cookware, normal household and commercial cleaning products, foodservice equipment, bar supplies, catering equipment, the list goes on and on... I thought I had a rough idea of what I'd find here, but they have soooo much more than I ever could have imagined. I certainly didn't expect them to have as many foods/groceries as they had. In the front of the warehouse near the checkout area there is even a display case with high-priced products such as caviar, saffron, vanilla bean, pine nuts, truffle oil, etc. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the staff is very kind and helpful. The woman at the front desk greeted me when I walked in and handed me a day pass since I'm not a member. She also offered to answer any questions I might have had. Later on I was looking to see if they had something specific and I asked a staff member sitting at a desk. Rather than just telling me where I could find it, he actually got up and walked with me straight to the product despite me possibly interrupting something he had been working on. This was a very positive experience and I will definitely come here again. I highly recommend you check it out, especially if you already happen to be in the area.

    I finally visited the place where my mom bought her enormous -you-could-cook-an-entire-ten-pound-bag-of-rice- pho pot. Nice find, mom. Nice. Find. Thanks to Chris K's super thorough review (write more, Chris K), I decided to take a 15 minute drive from Minneapolis to the business "where restaurants shop" so I could purchase some supplies for an upcoming party. Upon entering, I received a blue card that validated the fact that I came through the front, and pushed my long metal cart around the warehouse that seemingly had a lifetime supply of everything imaginable. #omgthisisalltheketchupicouldeverwant4mywholelife #shoutouttoditawiththishashtag A mistake would be to compare it to the likes of a Costco or Sam's Club, but it's drastically different since the main focus of Restaurant Depot is... you guessed it, all things restaurant-related! So, while my visits to other restaurant supply stores are very limited, compared to the few I've been to, this one is much bigger and has a larger selection of goods. The space is outdated and instantly reminded me of those old buildings that you would see in movies like "Coming To America" or "Robocop." But, whatever, yo, this place is very affordable with quality goods. Plus, I totally plan on updating my old pots and pans with some of the stuff there. Not to mention, the staff rocks since they're super laid back and helpful. I hope to spread the Restaurant Depot gospel to my homies, especially ones that come from families with more than ten siblings and reunions that number in the low hundreds. I'm sure they'll love this place.

    Why yes, I did buy 40 pounds of chicken breast today. One THIRD the price of anywhere else.

    Do you ever get one of those ideas where you think you are the only one to think of it? Well this…read morewas one of those times. I'll need to explain this. We recently had the siding replaced on our house. After this was complete, there were a lot of nails poking through the walls in our garage. Our garage is unfinished so the nails that were used to hang the siding came through to the inside of our garage between the studs. For aesthetic and safety I decided to hang some wall panels which is another story. Anyhow after the panels were up this is where the idea comes into play. I wanted to give the panels some support behind them but didn't want to pull them off the walls. First I thought about spray foam but then figured that I would probably need dozens of cans or more. So then I thought what about packing peanuts? I thought this was a great idea. So I started looking on line and at office supply stores. While I found some, the price was more than I thought it should be. That is when I found TwinSource. A 14 cubic foot bag was just over $20 or about a third of the price anywhere else. I thought how could the price be that much better? Did I figure the amount needed incorrectly? Well I placed my order and received a follow up email within a few hours that my order was ready to pick up. TwinSource is located in an industrial building. The process was super simple and my bags were waiting for me when I arrived. Turns out TwinSource is more than peanuts. They have packing supplies, paper products, cleaning supplies, food service supplies, boxes and more. I was very impressed with my experience and will certainly look to TwinSource for any future needs!

    This is the best grocery store in the cities -- by far…read more We moved from California. Grocery Outlet is a large chain in California that is similar to Mike's -- they're a discount opportunistic grocery that sells items close to expiration/are being discontinued. When we moved back to Minnesota, we were very sad to not have Grocery Outlet anymore. But then, we found Mike's. Mike's is amazing. I'd argue it's even better than Grocery Outlet, and miles above any average grocery store in the cities. The primary draw to Mike's is the pricing -- things are very cheap compared to other grocers. This is possible because they don't have a broad selection and stock items that are close to expiration or being discontinued. It's not uncommon to find things that didn't sell at other stores here. The downside is that they rarely have consistent stock. However, if you have an open mind, you won't be disappointed. There are snacks, frozen items, household goods and even clothes that are very cheap. Lastly, the staff are all very kind and do their best to help. Go here!!!!

I go once a week if I can to see what they have, stuff is usually always changing but on occassion you can find the same thing twice. Staff is fine, some are great and some you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley (I've heard some yelling from the back room at times). They've added Target bins in the back with $3 new items (clothes, toiletries, accessories and housewares sometimes). Truly magical.
