This store reminds me of Restaurant Depot, that's were restaurant owners buy food and products. It has everything you need to run a food business. Food prices in bulk are very good. Some items are more expensive than other local stores. This is a great place to shop if you are hosting a large gathering or a big BBQ. It also has lots of great high end kitchen necessities. Stop in and check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

How neat this store and you don't have to have a membership to shop! All the great bulk finds from food to storage, and refill items. Reasonable prices and many selections of each particular item. Bring a coat, the refrigerator section is ice cold!! read more

Generally I come here for only one item, coffee syrup. They have a large selection of the sugar free variety and the price is comparable to anywhere else. Occasionally you can find some good deals on meat and cheese on the 50% off rack. I always check this area when I come in. One time I got lucky and found a whole beef filet for 50% off. I haven't seen any since but today my husband and I found a whole skirt steak for 50% off which worked out to about $3.50/lb for it. With the high price of beef these days, I'll take a deal wherever I can. The Chef Store is great for local restaurants to pick up items if they need them at the last minute but it's not anywhere that saves you much money. In fact the prices are often higher than places like Sam's, Costco or the regular grocery store and also carry more limited inventory.. They carry items in restaurant size quantities but so do other club stores. A plus here is that you don't need a membership to shop there. Don't go looking for help there though if you need it. Often there's a single employee out and they often don't know where items are or when they will get out of stock items in. I've learned not to bother to ask. If you can't find it yourself they probably don't have it. I'll continue to stop in here for my sugar free coffee syrup and check the discount rack but that's about all. read more

man they got a new manager and she is just a stick in the mud . How you want good workers but don't work with nobody ! And the other day one of the workers started yelling in her face mmmm a little enjoyable she needs to work wit her workers . I love coming in talking that lovely brown skin girl always has an amazing attitude and she's expressed she wants to do hair but her schedule isn't lining up . She's clearly one of there best workers why couldnt this get figured out??? this is my second review I just feel the radiating whiteness when I come in barf . And that young lady should be able to start her business and still work it's giving they don't want my black queen to succeed and they want her working for the white man the rest of her life . DO BETTER . And I better still see that brown skin girl when I come in !!! read more

Didn't see the big deal here. Mostly overpriced. I know it's a place for chefs and restaurant owners, but I just expected a little more, a fun place that even a home cook like me could enjoy, but I was disappointed for example in the fact that they overcharged for bags of flour that you can get at the grocery store for less. We were underwhelmed. read more

We regularly visted the U.S. Foods Chef Stores when we lived in both Oregon and Nevada. We were excited to see they were opening one in Winston-Salem not far from where we live. They have a lot of restaurant products (produce, meats, cheeses, and desserts) in bulk but they also have items for the average everyday person. If you have a large family or are someone who entertains a lot or has group functions to attend, this could be a great stop in addition to other places like Costco or Sam's Club. We have regularly purchased coffee syrup, food containers, kitchen utensils, spices, foil pans and smoking pellets for the grill. Not all are the best prices we could find but some are. And it is a good place to find food related items you will not find elsewhere. The grand opening staff were very friendly and the store is bright and organized well. Go check it out! read more

I always read the reviews on a business before I visit to make sure I am aware of everything about the business. Well, when I looked up this particular business, I read the reviews and there were some that spoke highly of this establishment. I was looking to buy in bulk and they could accommodate me, so, here I go to see for myself. The very first day that I visited, I was greated with a warm welcome by a young lady name Naveiah. I explained to her that this was my first time. I asked her about the items that I was looking for and she directed to them. I asked her if I could make a return if the items were not right? She told me, I could. So, I pressed my luck to see if I could use those items. Unfortunately I could not, they were not the right items. To make a long story short, I called the company to make sure they returned. The associate that I spoke with told me, "we do" I took the items back the very next day and this is when I had to go through with an associate, who was also the manager. I was in total shock. This man , let's just call him the Grench . He was the one to ring me out. He asked me if I had my receipt. I told him yes, I handed him my receipt, he wrang up everything then he slid my change back to me on the counter. I looked at it and he looked at me. I asked him," do you not count the money back to the customers? " With attitude, he replied, "Really man." I said, yes because sliding money to a customer is a degrading jester that simply means you're beneath me. I told him that I was not going to let him spoil me from returning. He tried to flip it around and say that I had attitude with him. I told him, " for every action , there is a reaction." I will not stand and allowing him to disrespect me in front of anyone. I am the customer and this was my second time in there. I told him, "my money was just as good as his, I told him, I used to be a manager and I was trained to treat people as you would like to be treated and you would have no problem. " He said, he would try to remember that. I told him that they have cameras, and I pointed to them. I said they can run the cameras back and see how you picked up the money as if you were going to count it to me and then dropped it in my hand as if he was throwing it in a sly way. I say to the company if you want to keep your customers you will not put people like him in the front. He deserves to stay in the break room because it's evident he has a self problem. Until he is able to correct his actions, he will always be a good for nothing manager. Customers are your business!, Really Keith! God says, "what you did to the least of mine, you did unto me." You will one day reap what you have sown. May God have mercy on you. read more

We find the items we need at reasonable prices. The store is clean and the employees are very helpful.

This store has it all! They have items that you can buy in bulk but also smaller serving portions for many options. They have a ton of meat options frozen and non. This place is a dream for a restaurant owner. We got pork tenderloin that was delicious and can't wait to try more of their cuts of meat. read more

I have only been a few times since they opened but overall this store is great! If you want access to some of the products / sizes that restaurants are buying, this is the place! You also do not need a membership like some of the other wholesale stores. The main reason I have gone here is for the large cuts of meat for smoking / barbecue at a discounted price! It's usually hard to find whole prime brisket, tenderloin, and ribeye's but they have it all here! read more
