What we didn't realize was the absolutely giant variety of charcoal & gas grills and outdoor kitchens the store has. Seems that they have everything related to outdoor cooking. Many of the brands are ultra-premium. We have been cooking on the Big Green Egg exclusively, don't have a need for new gear, but it was really nice to hear about this stuff. Arriving hungry form the northwest suburbs we pleasantly surprised to find out they also SELL barbecue. It was lunchtime so we took a seat at the bar, each having a beer and a sandwich. The pulled pork and the brisket were really good. This is definitely a destination store, trip-worthy from anywhere. We will be back!

I can't believe that I have to tell people about this place. If you are looking for new grill…read moreequipment, classes on grilling or just some great advice this the only place to go! We have been looking to upgrade our grill for a number of years and have finally done it. I really wanted the a good looking grill area and looked many places to either custom build or have a good looking pre-made cabinet. First the custom build was out of my price range. I wanted to have the gas grill and the egg in the same unit but was not able to find any at all. I found two units that I could push together but they were really ugly. Then I went to the experts, The Backyard Barbecue Store. First they were more knowledge about the grills themselves than anyone else and they have a company that makes units just like I wanted. Bonus, they have multiple finishes for you to choose from. I stopped in a couple of times before making my final decision and they were so knowledgeable it was stunning. They were super patient with me. I am such a novice. They do classes here too. I am planning on taking one on how to use my new Big Green Egg. Mike, has already spent an hour of his time giving me some rudimentary instructions. So generous of him! If you are thinking of entering the world of grilling or replacing some existing equipment you would be foolish to not, at least, stop in here!

After years of dealing with the frustration of a Pit Boss Pro vertical smoker having horrible…read morecontroller issues (not only with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and a HORRIFIC app) but temperature swings of 20 to 30° range! The controller would know it was 20 or 30° off of desired temp and do NOTHING about it, even on calm windless days! I was at my wit's end! A quick Google search led me to Smoke Daddy. Their website claimed their PID controllers would do a retrofit and keep temperatures within 5°. I wouldn't believe it! I emailed the company and found out there was a military discount to appreciate that we were a veteran family. A phone call later and a very friendly and knowledgeable agent named Daniel gave us a great deal and answered every question regarding the controller for my Pit Boss retrofit. They only ship two-day FedEx and I had it in no time. As a retired mechanic, installation was easy enough by matching schematics with the retrofit controller and the OEM Pit Boss schematics. If you're not good with electrical, have someone who is help you do this. I followed the instructions on operation and ran some bacon through my smoker and it held temperature wonderfully! Not within 5° but within 2° or less! Unbelievable! Also did a burn-off cleaning that was long overdue and it held temperature at 400° within plus or minus 2° for over an hour. I can't believe how good this controller is and the customer service is also top-notch. I can only imagine their other products and service are just as good. Thank you Smoke Daddy for saving my sanity and bringing smoking meats back into an enjoyable hobby again for me!

Got our fireplace upgraded last November just in time for the holidays and we have had a winter and early spring filled with nice ambiance in our den. The whole installation process only took about 4 hours from installing the gas line, putting in the gas logs, sweeping our chimney and painting the interior box. They came out a few weeks later and got our nice new glass doors installed replacing our dated old 80s brass ones. So efficient and couldn't be more satisfied!

They have a broad selection of appliances and mattresses, everything from value deals to high-end, top-of-the-line items. I needed a new dryer and Mitchell and Scott both were super helpful in helping me find the perfect one for my needs without being pushy at all. Super nice staff that care. They also offer professional installation (and hauling away the old appliance) for $99 which I think is a good deal. Just plan for at least a week out for that. Will definitely be back for other appliance needs!

Thus far, we have purchased a range hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator. (Refrigerator still on…read moreorder and in transit.) We had to have the hood installed on our own, but the dishwasher was installed by Guler's. The service tech was freaky fast with install, and gone before our window for install closed (9am-12pm and he was done by 10:30am, after arriving around 9:30am). This included haul away of our old dishwasher. I've worked with two sales people, Greg and Mitch. Mitch went above and beyond to get us this fridge and I couldn't be happier (oh wait, yes I can--once I get it lol). We have a 1959 kitchen that we opted to rehab versus reno and as a result are limited to what size fridge we can have. (We did do some tweaks to the cabinets with their recommended handy person, Dan O'berg--highly recommend!) I think what stands out the most about Guler's is knowing they service my purchases. They ONLY service purchase customers. NGL, that's nice and "old school" and I'm here for it! I will never do business anywhere else as it pertains to home appliances. Next up: slide in range. And then, knock on wood, wayyyy down the line, W/D. I think they sell those, but not positive.

They are familiar with all types of high end machines. You bring your machine in. You provide an idea of its issues. Before you know it : your machine has been repaired to work better than it did in the box when it was new! My only regret is that I spent $1500 on this machine when I could have bought a much better one from these people . Oh well. Mati will provide my next machine . Next. Mati has far better coffee than any of the so- called roasters around here! It's fresh & they have a good variety. It tastes phenomenal. As soon as I finish my stock- I'll be getting a batch from them. They were kind enough to serve me an espresso when I came in. I've never had a better espresso in my life. It's a gracious family business & those are far & few now.They also carry a very very reasonably priced capsule machine ( that doesn't taste like plastic) and has their coffee in capsules. If I were working or traveling- I'd be buying that for sure! I am very glad that I discovered Mati coffee . The repair was fairly price- well- done & quick! Third coffee was a real surprise- in a good way!
