Ace Mart Restaurant Supply
1 review for Ace Mart Restaurant Supply
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.
