Review from Christine M.

Oh how I love everything about the kitchen...especially all the gadgets, even if I know I'm probably not going to use them or even have space for them, I love kitchen stuff (gadgets, pans, baking dishes...you name it!)
This place is great for those basic restaurant supplies that you may need at home and the prices are reasonable. It can also tempt you to buy those unnecessary items as well...you know what I'm talking about...the cotton candy machine, the huge popcorn maker, the hot dog cooker thing...in my head I think "ooOoo...I might need those one day if I ever have a festival of some sort." Yea, I know it's just me making excuses to justify my purchase if I ever did purchase such a thing. You know we all do it!
I like going here for the baking dishes, gadgets (dishers, spatulas, round cookie/biscuit cutters, etc.), squeeze bottles, and so forth. This place comes in handy if you like to entertain. You can get the aluminum pans and plastic serving utensils for a good price. Holiday time...awesome place to shop!
The customer service is hit or miss if you're on a personal mission. I understand that they do cater more towards business related purchases but us individuals would like some attention as well.
Other than that...I have no complaints about this place. I would go back as often as I could, but that would probably result in massive amounts of spending and well that's probably not the best idea, especially when you're trying to save money.
Go check it out! -

I love this place! Besides Amazon, you probably can't find better deals on kitchen tools anywhere than here. They have just about everything you'll need in a kitchen: baking supplies, a variety of kitchen knives, restaurant equipment, take-out containers, pizza supplies, chef clothing, serveware, and a whole lot more. But of course, don't come in here thinking you can buy a set of Wusthofs, Shun knives, All-Clad pans or any high-end brand names.
The only thing I'm not too crazy about are their hours. Monday - Friday 8:30 - 5:30pm and not all stores open on Saturdays, 9:00 - 2:00pm.... but I guess restaurant owners wouldn't shop past these hours anyway. -

Great place to go if you need misc kitchen tools and such, particularly if you are looking for more industrial models. The employees are extremely friendly and more than happy to help you find what you are looking for.

i'm one of those people who loves spending hours at sur la table or williams-sonoma. i love kitchenware, especially the expensive stuff - i bought myself a $100 chinois for christmas (and haven't used it). i really don't even spend that much time in the kitchen. could you guys tell?
doodes, this place is so awesome. it's like shopping at a costco for restaurant supply stuff. you can find anything related to the food service industry like 3 million types of glassware, cheapo squeeze bottles to pour sauces into to do fancy plate garnishing, tortilla warmers, and probably 10 different machines related to making hot dogs. i don't even like hot dogs that much, but i think it's really cool.
today my trip here was to pick up supplies for a bbq party i'm hosting. right when i walked in a friendly employee asked me if i need help. i told her i was looking for disposable paper products. after further inquiry, i told her i needed those silly paper boats that they sometimes serve french fries in at bowling alleys. that's the only way i could describe it. she sent me to the correct aisle and probably saved me 10 minutes of searching for it. this is a big place!
i found them pretty easily (250 of them for $11.95, right on!) picked up 1000 disposable plates too. ran into (literally) reese, the owner of etro. said hi but i don't think he recognized me in all that daylight (the hat that he always wears gave him away). so i'm walking up and down aisles with two big bags of stuff and voila! out of no where the super helpful employee is back but this time to take the products out of my hands so i can shop more comfortably.
when i arrive at the cashier, she is waiting to ring me up. it was a painless transaction. and then... wait for it... she picks up the stuff and tells me that she's going to carry it out to my car for me. um, wow! the funny thing was she's a tiny little thing. i probably could have carried HER carrying my stuff out to the car myself.
5 stars for their selection of products & value. 5 stars for service. in this case, it still just makes 5 stars.
