I don't own a restaurant, but boy do I love shopping at restaurant equipment stores. I wandered…read moreinto Rapids Restaurant Equipment looking for squeeze bottles (which I found in multiple sizes) and wound up picking up a bunch of other items because I just can't help myself. This store had everything from mixing bowls of all sizes to ramekins to baskets to crocks for french onion soup. Pretty much anything you'd need to operate a restaurant (or a really active home kitchen!). The place is pretty big and I wish I'd had more time to wander the aisles. I could seriously do some damage in this place! The staff was friendly but not overbearing. All told really excellent and probably my new go-to when I need something like this.

Not just for restaurant professionals - there is plenty at Rapids for us home cooks too. The…read moreextensive merchandise is well organized and prices are quite reasonable. We stopped in for a large non-stick frypan and walked out with a number of other kitchen and bar items. We will definitely be back

We were greeted by their amazingly friendly shiba and cats ( if you are allergic to cats or dogs I wouldn't go ). The owner was friendly and let us take our time to check out all the treasures.

Many would be good for a child's room and would make a great gift. For a shower as well. They have such novelty paintings i.e. the history of jeans, Dad's rootbeer, Rod Serling from the Night Gallery days. I loved meeting Kelly and was in awe of this place. Another reason to come to the West Bank. It's on the block for the Wednesday weekly West End days with all the vendors.

Owner Lqubal Sajady who goes by the name "Lucky" seemed like a nice guy over the phone, but…read moreeverything went downhill after that. When we went to his store (which by the way was hard to find since it was located in a building meant for office space) the store was very small, messy, and disorganized. We could not even walk down one of the only 3 isles he had to look through. Lqubal claims to have the largest selection in the area. However, we didn't realize this at the time, but you can find more established restaurant supply stores that have more options with a quick search online. We did try to place an order which wouldn't have been possible if he didn't find his catalog. Long story short - it took a week of some back and forth to finally get an estimate from him since he did not answer all of our questions in our first email. Then we found out he made a $40 error in his favor on the invoice. On top of that, it should be noted that Lqubal has a slogan on his about us page that states "Brand name china for half price or less" / followed by "Volume Advantage Pricing" / followed by a "best price guarantee".... But when we asked if he could help us out with the total since we found the exact same items cheaper elsewhere - all he did was resend us the original invoice he sent us before with no explanation as to why he was not willing to stick by his own policies and help us out. I would NOT recommend American Restaurant Supply & Warehouse (ARSWarehouse).

I got almost everything that I came for, except irises (had to go to Bachman's for those!). So 4 stars for the selection and quality. But 2 stars for the service. While the nice man who wrote our order up was very friendly and we didn't have to wait for that part very long, for some reason, after that it took forever to find someone to actually take our money. They did apologize and say they were short-staffed that day, but for the week of Art In Bloom, they really ought to make sure they have adequate staff. Next time, I might do an online order. Wondering if that might work out better. But then if they are out of certain things, you might not know until you go to pick it up.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jerry's! We have done a lot of printing with them and…read moreearlier this year we ordered ice packs for a conference. We were late to order them but Jerry's worked to get them ordered in time. We picked up from their loading dock and they helped load everything for us. We have returned for additional items - lunch bags, pens, putty, etc. Everything turned out great and we have received so many compliments on our swag! We even had requests for info on our swag company :) Robin is next-level amazing. She is quick to respond and is incredibly helpful. We will continue with Jerry's for years to come!

After searching Chicagoland for a creative and outstanding design/architect studio I found David…read moreHeide in Minneapolis. We were and are so impressed with his work that we commuted to Minneapolis, and they commuted to us in Lake Forest, IL. Our older home project (Kitchen, small addition, new bathroom, and family room) is nearing completion. From the builder, to the cabinet maker to the other major subs...they have all commented on what an "incredible" project this is. I am so proud of what we (my husband and I) with David, and Brad have created. It exceeds what I hoped for. So much design where we live is predictable, not very creative, and frankly...oversized...for an older home. David Heide, and Brad Belka are masters of restoration, updating, and renovation of older homes and also building from scratch. They understand human scale, materials, practical details, and fine craftspersonship. And, they know that all these elements count in the big picture. While not "cheap", we feel their services are a bargain when I think of what we might have ended up with without their guidance. Check out their portfolio...pictures are worth 1000 words. Also, they have won so many awards. Thank you David, Michael (superb, tasteful interior design), and the always patient Brad.
