As an event decorator, I absolutely love The Restaurant Store (RS)! Instead of on-line shopping,…read moreespecially when I need something NOW, the RS is less than 7 minutes from my front door. They carry a multitude of event decor for my table settings which keeps my budget-tight brides and those hosting parties within their limits. For the crafter in me, the pricing of stemware, place settings, or other table decor allows me to monogram family logos, initials or add a personal touch to my events and raises the level of elegance at or below budget. Helpful staff is always on the ready and I have never had more than a 5 minute wait to checkout and be on my way. The store has ample parking, is well stocked, bright, and always clean...and did I mention they're in my neighborhood?!?!?! A++ rating from me.

I will not stand for rude customer service for me or my employees. Look at your reviews and start training or firing. It's inexcusable.

Recent experience…read more "This is the second time this has happened to me at this location. The staff has no idea about respecting customers. Last Thursday I went to this location around 5 pm, and it wasn't crowded - there were only a few customers. I came out from the cooler and was adjusting some items in front of the glassware section when the staff member told me to move my cart. I said, "Okay, give me 2 minutes." He got so pissed off and pushed my cart towards me. I was holding an egg carton, and the cart was about to hit my head. I asked him what was wrong with him, and he started yelling at me, using cursing words like "mother fucker" and "asshole". I left the place to avoid a physical altercation. This is the second time this has happened at this location, and I don't have time to complain to management because last time I complained, they didn't bother to address the issue with the staff. I will have to stop going to this location."

I've been in the restaurant business before and this was by far the largest I've seen. And of course it was brimming with equipment on multiple floors - so selection is fantastic. Ours was a relatively small order, but I the service I received from Arya was over the top. Exceedingly patient, friendly and attentive as I kept changing my mind. Not only did he personally deliver the sink to the business, I accidentally left my phone at the store and he immediately drove it across town to our company! And we're not even a restaurant and therefore not likely a returning customer. Amazing! The only possible negative was that the table arrived with plastic still on it which will require some effort to get it all off. However judging from the how to questions on the net, this seems like a common problem, and therefore likely a common practice - so I won't dock a star for it. Did I mention they gave me a better deal than I could find on the net?

It's everything I expected from food, to cleaning supplies, to culinary wear to you name it. I saw roasts the size of a small car's backseat. Just ginormous! It's a culinary and food prep paradise. All SUPER BULK sizes and prices to match. Turns out you can get in here with any kind of business and a tax ID number that's current... Or just the 1-day pass like I had. Could be roofing, non-profit, medical or whatever kind of business you have. I came by to check out some gyro meat, some desserts and a few other perishables. Spent about 20 minutes inside and enjoyed myself exploring real quick. I'll definitely be back to get that giant box of gyro meat lol. Parking is modest on- site.

This past week, Jeremy and I visited because he wanted to get a knife bag. He received some new knives for Christmas - this year and years passed - and he wants to bring them with him when we go to our friends' house to make dinners. We do this quite frequently. We celebrate all the birthdays, and all the holidays - even stuff like Cinco de Mayo, and Chinese New Year. We'll take any excuse to gather together, smoke some pot, eat some good food, and enjoy our fellowship with these wonderful people. People we just met, oddly enough, less than two years ago and who I cannot imagine my life without. Weird how the Universe works. This was our second time visiting this store, and it's all set up to sell you everything you might need for Superb Owl. I don't care about sportsball, but we still managed to spend close to $100 on knives and peppers. I can't explain it. But it needed to be done and I'm happy that I could accomplish the task. I swear next Christmas I am buying all my friends brisket knives. This store is SO fun. You should visit it just to have an adventure. But I bet you buy something because the prices are super reasonable.
