J&E is great! I always find the staff very friendly and helpful. They have pretty much everything I…read morecould possibly want for running a restaurant (minus the food). I even purchase items from them for home use (tons of cambro storage containers keep my pantry organized at home!). I highly recommend J&E for all your restaurant supply needs. Here is how a typical visit goes: 1) Walk in and get greeted almost immediately... then get asked if I need help finding anything. 2) Usually I think I know what I want, so I decline help and head to the section that has what I need. 3) Get lost for a while roaming all the other aisles, sooo many cool things to check out. 4) Sometimes realize I do have a question, head to the front where the question is answered quickly and professionally. 5) Purchase my items and leave, with a new list of items I need to get next time I can come in. In all my time purchasing from J&E I've only had a single partially negative experience... and that was due to something I ordered taking longer to get to them than expected. As soon as they got it, I got it... luckily just in time.

I purchased a 2-door reach in 42.8 cu ft freezer. I love it! I worked with Mindy, who is always helpful. I was lucky enough that they had one in the warehouse. It was delivered a few hours later. The guys set it up and plugged it in. Easy peasy. Thank you J&E and Mindy!!

Some of the produce and the meat and dairy is in a walk in cooler , so you need to dress for 40 degrees if you are going to spend times in these departments. Sizes are larger- for example - mushrooms are packed in 2.5 lbs, not 8-12 oz like a supermarket. Some items are equivalent to club store sizes, others are larger. Items may have a unit price and a case price, I bought a comercial quality non- stock cooking spray to try, a larger spray can than the supermarket which was also available in a case of a dozen. I like skirt steak, the slot was empty ( happens from time to time,), but if it's on their online order system they can get it , like when I want a lot of boneless beef short ribs. I asked about veal, which US Foods has on their food service restaurant supply side, I was told some items are available and some are not available through the Chef Store, just ask about specific items. One cool items were bamboo skewers- which were available in 4 lengths , 6,8,10&12 inches. The restrooms, which are in a location for the shopping public and not hidden in a store room have a coded lock, so you need to ask for the code.

They were a lifesaver right before Thanksgiving when I was madly in search of a brine injector. After going to several other stores in town with no luck, I happened to stumble across J&E via a Google search. Before heading over I called over to see if they had what I needed and they said, "oh yeah, we've got all kinds" and indeed they did. I picked up several other things while I was there and prices were very reasonable. I so appreciate that J&E is open to the public and available to home cooks like me. I can't wait to go back! Total thumbs up for this place.
