During my last visit, I ran into a negative encounter but was saved by one your staff members…read more Unfortunately, I did not get her name but wish I would have. I placed a Martha Stewart solar light sculpture in my shopping cart, then added a twin pack of king size pillows and some sheer drapes. I then proceeded to the decorative pillow section to find some pillows to compliment my new sofa. When I returned to my cart, it was gone. Instead I found my twin pack of pillows and sheer drapes dumped on a table. My cart and solar light sculpture were no where to be found. I asked one of the staff members if they had seen my cart and she replied that someone may have taken it. We then proceeded to search the store and found the culprit with my cart and sculpture. When the staff member questioned her, she replied she found it in a cart. I said, yes, that was my cart and promptly removed it. She apologized but what gives her the right to take someone elses cart and merchandise. Luckily this staff person and I worked quickly to find the thief.

We came into Chop Restaurant Supply looking for a stainless steel pot and their selection did not…read moredisappoint! Daniel was a big help while we looked through kitchen knives. He was very knowledgeable and helped us figure out what would work best for our kitchen needs. They also have a crazy sale on gloves for only $5.99! Definitely give this shop a try, not just if you're a restaurant owner, but also for everyday kitchen items.

CHOP now has a second location in Santa Maria, to augment their original store in San Luis Obispo…read more Just like the store in SLO, the Santa Maria location features LOTS of cooking supplies, from expresso coffee machines, to base items such as pots, pans, utensils, stoves et-al. Anything you can imagine can be purchased c/o their outstanding on-site and helpful staff. This business doesn't just support small/large restaurants; I'm an amateur cook at home and have purchased tools to assist my hobby and beloved cooking for others from BOTH of the CHOP locations. Like SLO, the Santa Maria spot is spacious, clean, organized and has plenty to see.

They have an amazing supply of restaurant supplies and even appliances, new and used. Prices are…read morepretty decent and everything we've ever purchased here has stood the test of time. Customer service is also good. They've even offered to help with the seal on a refrigerator we purchased there 8 years ago...

Came here to get a quote on countertops. I went to there location to look at there showroom but now…read moreit's an office space. The ladies running the countertops and painting departments were really nice and got me scheduled for paint and countertops. I ended up hiring a painter before our painting appointment came. Countertop person came over to measure and he informed me that there would be a fee of $150 to get a quote. It was an automatic turn off. No other companies do this. It should have been mentioned before we even booked the appointment. He gave me a ballpark number that was at least 7k to 10k over the company I intend to use. Appointment was a waste of time. Don't recommend you fall for the same thing I did. Look elsewhere

Two stars. Only because our sales guy bends over backwards for us. Billing? Occasional. Cleaning of…read moreequipment and regular drop offs? Never. And the woman who answers the phone? Abysmal. Rude is an understatement. I could go into stories or opinions but I am better than that. Pricing is better through smart and final, or directly through coke. If you want to be treated as if your small business is insignificant, because you were feeling a little to big for your britches, use this company.

You don't need my review to assure you what you already know. Unless you like loosing money…read more There are other services out there that care, do a better job and don't take advantage. Most restauranteurs get several thousand dollars in before they realize this service is not into helping them only milking the dollar. We've changed companies and are way better off.

Sam and Josh were great! Courteous and did an excellent job installing my kitchen counter!read more

Very disappointed. The installation team was great, respectful, punctual, answered all my questions…read moreand did great work. The fabrication (Thomas) and sales team was another story. Calls were ditched, important information withheld, and promises broken. My countertop product was wasted. I was told twice management would contact me to discuss but no one from headquarters ever called. If it wasn't for the beautiful product and installation, this would've been a disaster. I'm exhausted from this, I cannot recommend them.

The Central Coast does a great job with BBQ, whether it be Santa Maria style or any style. Along…read morewith that comes good BBQ sauce. I had been following this brand for years but was never able to find it for sale. This last trip I found it at the Avila Barn. I bought their new "Swamp Mop" as it was a mustard based sauce that the family generally enjoys most. The sauce was indeed good, but at a whopping $15 a bottle (by comparison the MO's BBQ sauce right next to it was only $7). Needless to say it looks like I was the only person to actually buy a bottle of monkey spit there. Back to how difficult it is to find this stuff, one of the main issues is that their website is down. They also don't seem to have a list on facebook of who sells their product. That's not a good thing as I found it by chance. Now there was a vague posting on Facebook that they are opening up a new manufacturing plant and perhaps that means more product, more distribution, and lower prices. I look forward to trying some of their pepper based sauces on my next trip in the fall. - Obviously the price is an issue, and by selling it at boutique retailers the price will be totally unreasonable. Plus, when looking at the ingredients it appears that this sauce was just a mix of store-bought ketchup, mustard, and worcestershire sauce. Now it may be true that's how "authentic" Carolina sauce is made but at $15 bucks a bottle I'd expect all three components to be hand made from scratch. - New manufacturing plant is being built.

Well he was not kidding, they really are the best and I'm so glad we bought a case and were able to share with our friends back home. Definitely recommend you stop by here if you're in the area. The stand itself is super cute and has a small town vibe to it and the employees here are super friendly as well. Easy 5 stars on my end.
