Never anything but the friendliest and most knowledgeable service, especially on the topic of kitchen knives. I dont know if I've ever seen a larger selection of kitchen knives ANYWHERE. We had our knives sharpened again this week, and once again, they were done beautifully at a very fair price. I've always brought in a range of knives, from very good quality to pathetically cheap, and they have always taken good care of them all. No judgment or attitude about bringing in less fancy knives. Now that they are in the larger space, it's even more enjoyable to browse at the vast supply of kitchen gadgets while waiting for knives to be sharpened.

I was told in the very back of the store. I asked the lady working that department since I could not find it. She was far enough away that she could have walked over and shown me the first time. I go back and still don't see it. Again back to the unfriendly lady who is exasperated that I am just too stupid to find it in my own. She walks back as slow as she can and shows me nothing that I have described to her. The closest she has is a big plastic stool that is more of a side table in size.

She was awesome in the hardware department. So nice as I was stressing we were not going to get everything needed before the store close. I always have had good experiences here. They have great selection of lumber and milk work as well as a side note. Needless to say... I highly Recommend this menards! Great service from knowledgeable team members.

They also offer cooking classes, which I probably won't take advantage of but I do love attending a cooking class, so I will not say never.

But really everything was scrumptious from the panzanella salad to the chicken tetrazzini ending on a delicious cherry pecan scone dessert. Loved the whole setup and great casual/fun atmosphere.

Even though I only know how to make omelettes but ahem, I do cut vegetables, avocado, chicken, and steak. So Zwilling has been making knives since the 1700s, they're like the Porsche of German steel. We were immediately attracted to the 20 piece Pro which is made in Soligen, Germany. We wanted a natural block but they was outta stock (hey that rhymes), I'm about to bust it!! So we went with the darker block. Ahem, the knives are incredibly sharp and the set looks very well made. I'm very pleased and thus far, I've cut avocado, broccoli and chicken breast, and hot dogs (from Omaha steaks - but that's a different review) using an assortment of knives - dang, be careful!! Five (5) stars to David, he was exceptional in servicing us despite the number of people in the store, he answered a multitude of our questions like he was being paid by the question. The knives were delivered in a timely manner. I registered my purchase and will be receiving a free gift from Zwilling. Danke schein - David and Zwilling!!
