I accompanied a few folks who had membership so I could check this place out. A large section of the store is one giant refrigerated section. They got jackets if you're cold. I saw meats and veg and fruit and cheese. So much cheese. And I was surprised at the amount of halal meats. Very clearly marked. Even had whole lamb. Lots of food products. They had an interesting pasta display too. Not 100% sure about prices but seemed comparable with Cash & Carry, if not cheaper. Worth a stop if you're in the biz.

Great resource for the average person to get restaurant style supplies and quantities at excellent…read moreprices. Probably great for actual restaurants too, but I can only speak for myself as a casual shopper (I have seen folks from restaurants loading up on supplies). What does this mean in practice? Well I go here when I am hosting people or cooking in bulk. I get 5lbs loafs of mozzarella here for my pizza cooking, massive bags of chocolate chips if I'm making dozens of cookies, all sorts of large quantities of frozen appetizers, giant chunks of delicious cheese for appetizers, even bags of ice are cheaper than the grocery (and larger). I thought Costco had me covered on bulk items, but it's really not the same (and I love Costco). I shop at both. In my opinion Chef Store bulk cheese is unbeatable. Good selection and fantastic bulk prices. Highly recommend checking it out. I wish I had more occasions to take advantage of their cheese deals. Also easy access in the city, parking lot is easy, very laid back vibe whenever I've been there.

I love walking up and down every aisle, marveling at the industrial size mixing bowls, baking supplies, ladles, rolling pins - you name it, it's here! Grills, griddles, fryers, cast iron - yep, got it! They also have a selection of bar ware, both the serving glasses and the tools to stock your own bar at home. Even neon signs! Since my dinnerware is white, I often come here to pick up additional serving platters, individual salt bowls, cream pitchers or whatever I need or just want to add to my table scale. Of course they have the large appliances - refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, wine refrigerators, etc. Prices are affordable and you can buy single pieces or bulk. Customer service is friendly, they greet you when you enter and let you browse. If you need assistance, they are there to help. That's exactly how I prefer it.

The owners were very kind and carefully wrapped my items - which I definitely appreciated for a long drive back. Highly recommend this store!

Also, you can only take a right turn out of the parking lot towards 217, so you might want to drive through the strip mall parking lot if you need to go East. That being said, this store is freaking awesome. Perfect for all of your food service/restaurant or bulk purchase needs. I will say that it can be a bit more spendy than ordering direct from a vendor, however, if you need something right away, it's not so bad! And some of the items are truly a good deal. I stopped in here to pick up coffee bar type items. They had everything I was looking for: stainless steel milk froth pitchers, espresso shot cup, syrup pumps, and the LARGEST, most extensive coffee syrup selection I have ever seen. This spot is definitely worth checking out and the staff are super cool too.

If you're in the market for good quality knives, cookware, or bar supplies take a look here before you blow a ton of money at the high end kitchenware stores. You will be pleasantly surprised with the difference in price, and quality. Having worked in a number of commercial kitchens myself, trust me, these products can stand up to about anything you can throw at them. I usually browse through here after I have been to Pacifica candle warehouse across the street. I'm impressed by their selection, and they're helpful. My nephew wanted an extra large cutting board. I wasn't able to find what he was looking for anywhere else, but they had just what he wanted, and it was less than the smaller boards I was looking at. I plan to pick up a cocktail shaker and muddler the next time I'm in. Anyway, I recommend that you take a browse for yourself.

Woah, who knew? I was led here doing a shop for someone else so this as my first time. I will say…read morethat buying in bulk is pretty great. I would not come here for produce unless you really needed an insane amount of potatoes or onions unless you are going for frozen. A lot of things they just have one brand of and the prices seem pretty great. I liked that they have a huge bin of boxes so I grabbed a few to fill as I was shopping to make it even for me carrying it. I did not see the sign saying to form a line under it because it was a good eight feet up and I am super short. The cashiers seem to go back and forth between being really friendly and near hostile so that was jarring. It's a pretty busy store and also pretty large so you could spend a lot of time here as I feel like their stock is ever changing.

For some reason he was dramatically more hospitable with the customers that he helped before and after me. I greeted him, and received no reply in response. I wished him well afterwards and again received no response. Buddy seemed fairly hostile the entirety of the interaction. Not worth the trouble of the visit, in my opinion.

Called to have a repair done on a Hobart 60 qt Dough Mixer. I was told by the technician that it…read moreneeded extensive repairs but that they did have rebuilt units. I asked for an estimate for repairs and a price on a rebuilt. I was told someone would contact me. No one followed up with me. He told me after looking at the unit the repairs would be about $4000. When I called the following week I was told that they thought they were waiting on the parts to come in even though I had never seen an estimate and those parts were never ordered by them. I again asked for an estimate and one came to me a few days later. It was for over $10,000. And then the bill came in a week later for the estimate. I was being billed $182 just for the estimate. I've never been billed for an estimate from any company before and was not told there would be a charge for one this time. When I called to talk to someone about the charge I was told the owner would get in touch with me. No such call has taken place to date. I think this speaks a lot for how they think of their customers. I would recommend extreme caution dealing with this company. I certainly will not have any contact with them in the future.

Where to begin? To start, I needed an older 5 quart Hobart serviced. After 2 tries to get someone…read moreto return my call, they said to bring the machine in. We bring it in, the full office stall looked up then immediately looked back down at their desk. ??? We proceed to describe to Troy what we need and we were assured that someone would get back to us with the information on the "fix" and the cost. Now I'll need to tell you that a one way trip to this joke of a business is 45 minutes for us, but I need my machine. I didn't hear from them until I called a week and a half later. They said they would order the parts and fix the problem with the 3rd gear and a spring, and strain relief cord for $450. We agreed. Another 2 weeks go by and again nothing so I call again. This time Conrad the tech tells me that the casing for the 3rd gear is cracked and that they can't fix it, the part for my machine is no longer available. He said we could pick it up. A couple of days later Conrad calls and gives me a quote for a new machine, starting to smell a bit fishy yes? Funny thing is after we finally pick it up and my husband takes it apart, the area that where supposed casing was cracked wasn't accessed, it still had the old grease from the original manufacturer, under the blue stuff Bach's jammed in. A week after this we go to pick it up and the service manager Troy tells us that the machine is open but they do not know what's wrong but some parts were on order. WTH???! They asked us to leave it again and they will call us and let us know when it is ready. Are you sensing a pattern here? Dumb right hand, idiot left hand? Another week goes by, we have to call again. Yes, no real knowledge of my machine and absolutely no customer service integrity. What exactly are they celebrating 50 years about and how? Sure, I'm just a small customer but they accepted our machine but couldn't show any professional courtesy, none. So this time (#3) and after roughly 5.5 hours of driving en total they tell us they can't help us after all, Troy the front desk monkey cannot explain why. We get it home and make the discovery I mentioned above. If they are too big of a company to take care of small town small customer they should not have strung us along and looked and acted like incompetent monkeys. What they have going for them is the monopoly on Hobart sales and service. They should be ashamed but I doubt if this is something they know anything about. The one star is for the Hobart name machines only. (And yelp will not allow no stars) I MADE A COURTESY CALL AT YOUR REQUEST AND LEFT A MESSAGE, NO REPLY TO DATE. It's no wonder we received the treatment we got.

I'm not sure if the parking lot here is smaller than others or if theres simply more people that shop at this location but it's ALWAYS backed up and crowded. More so than most other locations. The gas station will ALWAYS have a line up so be aware and be patient. Same with check out in store, be prepared to stand in line, even a short line, and be patient. People are shopping with double sized carts, in bulk, and at least half of those people are doing it all with kids in tow. Just calm down or choose to shop somewhere less stressful. The food court here is also a back up with limited seating, but can any of us really complain when we're getting a delicious hot dog, with a soda, for $1.50?! Just give me my hot dog, soda, bulk trays of blueberry muffins, move along and be happy.
