Wanted to look around and see what was missing from my kitchen as well as supplies for the new business, and found Ace Mart on Yelp. They have a great selection of products. I know where to come to get anything that I need on the future. I was able to get some scoops and bowls that I had been looking for. read more

Ace Mart Restaurant Supply - Hours - Restaurant Supplies Near Me - Austin, Texas

They're the best in town. Knowledgeable, friendly, and great prices. The store has everything you'd need whether you work for a restaraunt or just need kitchen supplies around the house. Lots of variations on products, too. So they're accessable for any budget. Love this place. read more

Internet and IRL standby for professional equipment at solid prices. Staff were proactive in pointing out discounted alternatives to my needs. With just three people on line, they opened another register. With a big selection, it's a dangerous place to shop for the casual cook, but the prices are tough to beat! read more

Very rude and unhelpful employees. Only one man was willing to help me but he seemed new so he still had to ask help from others. There were about 10 employees I saw and all but two were just conversing with each other. read more

Very great selection of cooking,baking and restaraunt supplies. I needed a non-stick skillet and ACE had a good assortment of options to choose from. A staff member helped me by comparing the various pans. Very helpful. Great prices, too. read more

Okay, so, first and foremost..I'm a mark for warm cookies. If there were some sort of spy program where what they used to break you were warm cookies, I might be hard pressed to enlist in the FBI/CIA version of patriot shenanigans. I'm saying that I like them. Cookies=good. And they were passing them out like they were..well..warm cookies yesterday at Ace Mart. One of the weird byproducts of my work is that it occasionally brings me to places like this, and I can't say for certain whether they were all hands on deck by virtue of the fact that I caught them on the right day or perhaps there was some sort of training program going on. I just know that the place was super well staffed, had *tons* of material that any restauranteur (or for that matter, foodie) would flip over. On this day I had a pretty simple set of things I was after and they were able to point me to them in short order. But they were personable enough that I ended up rapping (not literally) with one of the managers for about twenty minutes and found out lots more about how they operate. And Jaye's pretty savvy for stopping in here...there are some killer sauce pans to be had. I'll be back. read more

I purchased Sandwich prep table very good and I got discount.. Amazing place if you looking for rusturent supply and very helpful staff.. very nice customers service and so friendly. highly recommend Ace mart!!!!! read more

I've got two on-going projects. One is to make my house look like an adult lives here before my sis and bro-in-law visit for Christmas. I bought some new furniture (see my review of Rooms-to-Go) and built a giant oak table for my formal dining room. I bought 2 table bases from Ace Mart for that project (see my Spillar review for how I got them cut to the right length). My second project is for our Departmental "Holiday" party this coming weekend. Our department has gotten large, so we're doing a partly potluck dinner (the dept will buy turkey, ham, and some sides, and dept members will provide the rest) so we can accommodate spouses and children without it costing a fortune . I bought 2 on-sale chafing dishes to keep things warm, and extra pans for them of different sizes. I also picked up a ladle, some serving spoons and tongs, Sterno-type fuel for the chafing dishes, and a new cutting board for me. I like cooking for groups, so this is my chance to go wild (this is what "wild" turns into when you're an old bachelor). If you love cooking equipment (and I do), and lean toward an industrial design, then this is the place for you. You can get one of those rolling hotdog cookers for your own kitchen, or a popcorn machine, or as Jaye said, your own deep-fat fryer. You can browse an aisle of knives that real chefs use, and a couple of aisles of pots and pans (and a stew pot big enough to cook someone my size if you lean toward cannibalism). There are more aisles of dishes and glasses of all sorts. I could truly spend a fortune here. It's a shame I mostly cook for just myself. read more

I play an executive chef on tv. or do I? in real life, I cook for 600 people a day. then I go home, and have to cook for two more people. on my days off, I cook. my days on, I cook. so you get the point, I cook. a lot. my work kitchen is stocked with acemart stuff. and my home kitchen is the same, stocked with pot racks, pots, sauté pans, stock pots, egg pans, slotted spoons, whisks, a shit ton of knives, mixing bowls, measuring utensils for days, stainless pantry rack, prep table, tongs tongs tongs, ladles, fryers, appliances, color coded cutting boards, labeled containers, day dots, and enough mise én place to blow your mind. it's basically like a small acemart, but I make food in my acemart. so I got that going for me. read more

Ace Mart Restaurant Supply - my personal acemart. - Restaurant Supplies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow. Talk about kitchen heaven! Folks who cook a LOT already know about Ace Mart Restaurant Supply - but I am pretty much a newbie wrt serious cooking. I mustered up the courage to go to Ace Mart for some new non-stick pans after I gathered advice from my fellow Yelpers. I know Tony B. knows his way around a kitchen - and so when he said Ace Mart was the place for value - then I knew this was a solid suggestion. This all began 18 months ago when I took a close look at my cooking pan selection, I noticed that ALL of them were worn. Then it dawned on me - how can I do any serious cooking without the right tools?? BTW, Tony also recommended that I get some REAL pans (without the non-stick coating) for high-heat cooking as well. He also said 'Stay away from 'names' such as Rachel Ray, Guy F, etc.....because that just adds to your sticker price anyway.' Upon entering the store just off Congress Ave., I was promptly greeted and offered help. When I explained my situation, they took me right where I needed to go. I selected the following; one Vollrath 10" CeramiGuard II non-stick fry pan, one 14" Vollrath SteelCoat x3 non-stick fry pan, and one 12" Vollrath Natural Finish Wear-Ever aluminum fry pan (for high-heat cooking that is not advised with non-stick coatings). Vollrath was an easy selection as they offer tremendous quality at a reasonable prices! So as I write this review, these have held up without a mark or scratch and have markedly improved my cooking capabilities. If you are in the market for new pots and pans, check out Ace Mart - and you will also be asking yourself 'What took so long??" read more

Did you know that Ace Mart moved? Yep, now located where the old Beall's was at Congress and Oltorf, the new Ace Mart is even better than before! It's freaking HUGE man. Seriously, it's enormous. As always, plenty of people are available to help you with anything you need, and the prices are amazing. I went in this weekend needing two things, a new sauce pan and a tart pan. I walked right over, picked them both up and could have been outta there in two seconds. Yet I wasn't because I had to linger and browse. I need a deep fryer. Like, the professional restaurant kind. I could set it up on my porch, don't you think? read more

I LOVE this place! Bold, 70pt Helvetica Black! ;D Ace Mart is exactly what you expect it to be. It's a vaguely warehouse-ish building, filled with everything a restaurant would need to get up and running! I'm not affiliated with a restaurant, though, unless you count my home kitchen! And that's the fun part... they do! You'll find everything you need here. From ladles (for the soup), to decorative glass dishes (for the nuts) ;D! Everything you'll ever need for your kitchen, you'll find here. The super great thing is that they are ALWAYS having sales! I went in today, and the sale was on 8" and 10" kitchen knives, along with selected cutting boards. They have so many sales, you'll need a flier when you first come in. And when you first enter, everyone perks up, and says "Hi!" Someone will definitely approach you and ask you if you need help. Their service is top-notch! If you're like me, and would really rather just walk the aisles and shop alone, that's an option, too! You just have to tell them. One of my favorite things to get here is their diet Cherry sno-cone syrup. It's great in anything you put it in. Crush some ice, grab your favorite diet pop (Diet Pepsi/Coke, Pepsi/Coke Zero, and my all time favorite, Diet Mt. Dew). Blend it up in your blender, making sure all the ice is crushed, and you have awesomeness in a glass! You get a huge gallon jug for $6.95. You can't go wrong with that! There are other flavors too! In the diet, there are three-- Cherry, Grape, and Raspberry. There are tons of flavors in the regular! You can always check their website for all their products, too. It's such a great resource. And if you just can't make it into their brick and mortar stores (there are two locations-- one in North Austin (on N. Lamar) and one in the South, too, making it accessible to most!), you can always order online. If you're looking for a one-stop kitchen supply store, with an impeccable staff, and great prices. look no further! Ace Mart'll truly become your new best friend! ;D read more

I've been visiting ACE for years now and I'm the furthest thing from a restaurant owner. I just prefer the commercial look/feel of my starlight cups, massive cutting boards (important if you BBQ), plain white apron, tortilla cozy/salsa bowl set ('tortilla cozy' has to be a Yelp first), and various tongs, knives, shakers, squirters, and pourers. If you ever cook for more than 2 people, you must visit. Oh, and they have a cotton candy machine - if you get it, please invite me over. read more

Acemart has always been awesome...since I moved to Texas, I wanted to find just some salt and pepper shakers and ended up there. The staff was GREAT, and that place is amazing...my silverware is now from there, plates, cups, and so many other things....the prices are great for what you get. I wish they were open longer on Saturdays but that is just because I like the store so much. Ace Mart has free popcorn and soda when available, and sometimes, reps from the appliance makers will be in store, showing you how to use a panini-maker, for example, and that's fun! I have purchased paper plates and baskets in bulk there, and saved a lot by doing that, I even bought an enormous bottle of grenadine for only five bucks! Their pots and pans are wonderful and I have bought a few baking sheets there, too, that were all of high quality.. I also bought a degreasing cleaning product that was being demonstrated there and it works beautifully! I have also gotten strong, commercial grade fragrant room sprays that really deliver...YAY for Acemart!!! read more

EDIT... this location is now closed. i went into the north lamar location and recognized one of the workers from the 5th st. place. i said "oh they moved you up here already?" he replied with all the warmth of a cocktail napkin, "that place is closed" whatever. i don't come here for customer service. i come here for large amounts of kitchen stuff for little amounts of $. and today, i found just that. tongs for $2. china plates and bowls for less than $3 each. notice to 20 qt. stock pot: i've got my eye on you. old review: ________________________ this place is amazing. sadly, the downtown location is moving soon. they're moving down south somewhere, and they do have another branch up north lamar... 9000 something. yes, they do have stock pots big enough to boil children in, but they also have a skillet that's just right for frying a single egg. and don't miss out on the case prices for glasses, bowls, plates! got a new place and have to furnish a new kitchen? stop in here first, you won't be sad. the prices are fantastic and if you like to cook & or eat, you will leave with more than you need. oh, and there's free popcorn. sweet. read more

I buy the plastic deli containers here, the kind that you see at like the olive bars and such. I use them for batch cooking because they are small enough to be a meal for 2, and also cost effective enough to be tossed if they need to be. They have a large selection of items, and some things you find yourself staring at thinking "OMG I need this, what is it? why did I never know it existed?!" SO beware set a budget before walking in this place. read more

I'm not a professional baker or chef, but I like to pretend I am sometimes. When I really want to feel legit, I stroll the vast aisles of fun culinary tools of the trade at Ace Mart Restaurant Supply. This place has so much stuff. The staff is always plentiful and super friendly, the prices are fair for the quality you receive, and it's right in my neighborhood. There's not usually a lot of people in the store, hopefully they're still doing well enough to stick around for awhile because it's always a fun trip inside. I kinda nerd out here, I love it! I'm also an artist, and sometimes my weird sculpting adventures require I make/find some unconventional solution for mold-making and armature. I usually hit paydirt here, and find a sturdy, fairly inexpensive way to make the magic happen. If you have projects that need that special something, you might find it here... read more

I could spend way too much in here... wait... I already do... I love this place. I'm a cook, so this is like an adult toy shop for me. I buy stuff for work and home, sometimes tempted to buy stuff I don't even need because... well... a man can never have too many toys. It can be a little pricy, but they are professional toys. Anything you buy here will last way longer than anything you pickup at HEB or some Dollar store somewhere. read more

If you are a chef or like me a home cook this is the place for you, from soup to nutz, if you need anything for your kitchen or cooking utensils this is the place for you. read more

Ace Mart Restaurant Supply - Restaurant Supplies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Don't really understand what happened except maybe the cashier was having a bad day. I'm a culinary student buying molds for a class presentation and when asking for my student discount I was questioned of the intent of my purchase.... when I explained the rubber molds I was purchasing were for a presentation the cashier began to repeat the question as if my reason might change. He then proceeded to bring another associate to explain the rules of my discount as if his original explanation of, my discount only being applied to items used in class, wasn't good enough... when I explained it was not my lack of understanding that had me confused, it was the demeaning berate pertaining to a $2 discount. When I left I left, choosing to take my business elsewhere, the cashier yelled out don't come back... this is a ridiculous... how on earth did it escalate that quickly??? read more

I love browsing at Ace Mart. I, like others here, come for containers,utensils, and such for my own cooking. The employees here are wonderfully accommodating and are willing to help you find whatever unique kitchen item you are looking for. If you are trying to find any kitchen storage containers, etc., and can't find it anywhere, there's a good chance you'll find it here. read more

The staff was demeaning to my girlfriend who was buying ice cube trays for a school project. I refused to pay in light of such rude service and told them if that is the way they treat a customer then I will take my business elsewhere (mission or amazon). Good riddance. read more

I recently needed a few things during our time at home and ace mart had everything I needed and more. Their curbside pick up has only been available for a month, and they had their whole process down great. Brian, an extremely nice worker, went above and beyond to help me purchase something else by going into the store and doing it for me since I had two young kids in the car. So appreciative for this curbside service and workers like Brian!! Thank you!! read more

This place had everything I needed and somethings I didn't. They're website has much more if you don't find it in the store. This is a great place for culinary gift ideas and a great place to stock your kitchen with commercial-grade products. I'm no chef or anything but I found this place helpful. Everyone is getting a bread knife for Christmas. And they have a sushi knife that I bought for a special someone. I expected this place to be bigger, but I like how it just gets to the business of its business with no frills. read more

I finally found the 2oz Dixie Cups WITH lids for jello shots!!!! I went all over - Sam's club, Costco, Walmart, HEB, Spec's - and no where has lids. Anytime I need something for a party, ACE Mart will be my first stop :-) read more

Love this place and recommend it to friends, they have everything you could ever want to create the most amazing food at home. Great customer service as well! Amazing place!! read more

Ordered a box of candles online for my wedding, some of the candles arrived broken, I was so upset. After I called an expressed my concern with Ms. Franklin at Ace Mart, she resovled the issue right away. They are sending me a new box of candles on them. I can't thank them for their excellent customer service enough! I will be shopping with them again for all my needs! read more

You can find many better deals online. No attention to detail (or they just don't care?): they don't replace damaged items. The aisles could be cleaner. The warehouse associates are rude, under-trained and give you some quite unprofessional (especially the old woman) "you're in my way" looks when they are in the same aisle with customers and/or when you dare to ask them anything ... read more

It was 3 weeks out from my wedding and we decided to buy our own plates and silverware for the reception. I ordered 350 plates and silverware and they were at my house within the next week. I am so impressed with the quality of the order. Ace Mart has the best customer service...thanks Paul. I highly reccomend Ace Mart! read more

Bought a $900 sno cone machine from them and took it back a month or two after because wasn't making shaved ice and I asked for a different machine , they told me no I'm not going to sale anything to you. Like really geez read more

I continue to be blown away by this place. Not only do they have a great selection but they are always very helpful assisting you find it and giving you options. The old style customer service is still alive and well here as the gentlemen and women insist on carrying your purchases out to your car for you. No matter how big they have grown they always make you feel like you are family. No place else I'd rather shop! read more

stay away from these guys! they don't replace items that show up damaged!!
