"Hot fun in the Summertime" ---Sly and the Family Stone…read more I am a minimalist. Going to Costa Rica for a two weeks self retreat. Picked up a 22 hour countdown kitchen timer here to use as an alarm clock when I travel to unplug from my smart phone to go analog a bit like pen and paper turned to keyboard rhythm on my lap top for this review. Unfortunately no Yelp in Costa Rica so this is likely my last review until the cold San Franciscan June Summer time cometh. Coldest Winter I ever had was a Summer in San Francisco is what Mark Twain said. Forest Restaurant Supply rocks! They have it all and friendly staff so will give them three bonus stars for customer service. Thanks I will be back.

Place looked small on the outside, but once you walk inside, it's a completely different story. The space opens up vertically and feels massive with its tall ceilings and rows of bulk items that actually make a lot of sense for restaurants and businesses. Everything from supplies to most food categories was very well stocked, in date, and had solid variety. I was happy to pick up a bunch of high-heat, heavy-duty kitchen tools during the trip. If you're stocking a commercial kitchen, they definitely have a good selection of durable equipment, but limited. With that being said, I have been to other Restaurant Depot locations and the Miami, FL one will always be my favorite because they have a lot more higher end meat and seafood selections. I was hoping for more variety here, particularly in seafood and baked goods. The bread and pastry section was pretty bare, and I really wish they carried more seafood like uni and sushi-grade products to help elevate this location. Pricing is also a bit conflicting for me as well because some items, especially beverage, pantry goods, and produce didn't feel like a great deal compared to smaller local spots. However, it does make up for that by being a true one-stop shop where you can grab almost everything your business needs in one run. My biggest downside is the location. It's pretty inconvenient, and I had personally much rather see a Restaurant Depot closer to South San Francisco or in an area that feels safer and more accessible than Bayview-Hunters Point. Overall, place has a solid selection, well stocked, and very useful if you're running a restaurant business.
