Everything is great! Employees are very nice and helpful! Great selection and fun things too!

Nice selection with very good prices. Meat is competitively priced. Best prices on the Pork and it is outstanding. Service is Steller and very friendly. read more

The employees are rude as hell. My kid was running around the store and this jerk of an employee told him to stop running and he did. Later on he thought my kid was doing it again. He yelled and was a complete jerk and said quote on quote "You were just running, what the hell are you doing? I'm not playing this damn game. Stop!" I'm sorry but as a concerned parent I won't be coming back here and I won't allow jerks like these employees to talk to a kid like that ever again! read more

While this is not a wholesale chef supplier it is a good resource for hard to find items. The prices are reasonable and the location is great. read more

When I was a teenager and my parents owned a restaurant, we would make a trip to Cash and Carry and similar locations to get the restaurant supplies in bulk that we needed for the next couple of days. We had to do this since the restaurant had only ten tables and the minimum drop for a distributor was several thousand dollars back then in the 80s. In the Boise metro area, we don't have Smart and Final restaurant supply stores even though the previous iteration of US Foods Chef Stores looked eerily similar. US Foods is a nationwide distributor and I have had the chance to meet with their SW division in Scottsdale, AZ in a former life. With that being said, I like what they have done with these existing storefronts to legitimize them and bring great offers to small businesses. You don't need to be a small business to shop nor do you need a permit or card to enter. There are some really good deals so take your time and check out the aisles. The staff is super friendly and knowledge Here are a couple of tips: (1). Just because you found X product does not mean that they will carry it if they sell out. Sometimes what you find is all there is. If you like it, consider getting and then going back and getting more. Don't wait until you've used product X to go back and get more. (2). You are a coffee freak like me there are all sorts of flavorings, pumps, coffee beans, coffee k-cups, etc... (3). By the meat and cheese refrigerator sections, there are some tortillas and bread products. One particular tortilla is perfect for making thin crunchy folded tacos. Don Pancho Thin Tortilla Crisps (4) Need gloves? They have you covered and you'll save some bucks instead of buying from the big box retailers. The are several locations through the treasure valley so make sure to visit and see what they have. As you stroll down the aisles, you can daydream about opening your gastro-pub or cafe. read more

A hidden gem for the Boise area. Great deals and the customer service us very good. Carries many items not available at larger stores.

I love this store! We have been coming here ever since moving to the Noise area. It a little hard to find but once you do it's well worth it. They have such a great selection of items and while geared for restaurant supply they serve a purpose for any large gathering as well. While the selection is not massive in all categories what they do go deep in like meats, frozen foods and restaurant supply is massive. We also love this place for their coffee and shaved iced flavors from multiple brands. They have the largest selection of syrups I have seen. Plus the prices compared to other places are great. While I like the no frills vibe of the place it might not be for everyone. But if you want to save a few bucks then this place is well worth a look. read more

I love the store, they literally have everything you need. Open to public. The store is clean and always full of items that rarely out of stocks. Employees are very nice and helpful. You can always find "hard to find restaurants quality" items over there. Definitely recommend to everyone. read more

Very interesting place. While it is geared towards supplying restaurants, it has a lot to offer the regular shopper. But think bulk items for the most part. read more

This place is great if you need to get large quantities of certain item. Obviously, this place is geared toward those who shop for restaurants, but it is also nice for private individuals who might need a five gallons of soy sauce, or a half gallon of habanero salsa. Be sure to price shop... Just because you can get something there in large quantities, doesn't mean you can't find it elsewhere in town for a better price. read more

US Foods CHEF'STORE - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

This restaurant supply store is open to the public which I appreciate as I have an Airbnb that I need to supply. It is quite small though so their selection is limited. For example, they only had one choice of keureg style pods for coffee. No other type of pods such as teas or hot chocolate. They only had 2 flavors of individual size creamers. Not the caramel macchiato I was looking for which is wildly popular. We couldn't keep it loaded up fast enough at a camp I worked! There were other things I looked for and we're not available. I guess the prices were okay, but I haven't yet shopped around. I really don't like using Amazon and prefer shopping local. Oh well, I guess Amazon it is then. (Sad face) read more

Love this place, although you need to compare pricing. Clean store, friendly staff, no lines. Some hard to find items, but also some common ones they don't have. We use this store to balance out our grocery store purchases, and only visit once every couple of months. Glad to have this option open to the public. read more
