The Restaurant Store

This is the Home Depot/​Costco/​Walmart for the restaurant business. They sell a wide variety of wares that you need for your restaurant or food service business. Cookware, appliances, spices, carryout boxes, furniture, and much more.
I really like this store because they have a wide selection whether you are a food truck, fancy dine-​in, cupcake bakery or huge buffet. The prices seem very reasonable. Lots of parking and near the I-​95/​I-​695 exits.
You can be a joe schmoe and purchase things here also.
I love it!

I love the staff here. Few months back an employee put a dent in my BMW while loading supplies. He was so apologetic I couldn’t even be mad. The company cut me a check and that was the end of that issue. When I go in the staff knows me by name and are always happy to see me spend away my time and money!

This is a browsable warehouse for folks who need restaurant supplies, located directly across from Patterson High School. As a bartender, caterer, and amateur cook who keeps a meticulous kitchen, I would go here for future supplies because (1) they sell quality things and (2) they sell those quality things at great prices.
They have multiple stores in addition to online ordering. When you visit the site –and if you want to buy in person at the store– you select the store nearest you. The online catalog then updates itself to reflect what is in stock at that specific store.
The catalog seems accurate. They seemed to have about what they said they would have; they certainly stocked more than 1 of everything I had on my 10-​item list. There is a wide variety of things to get. As a bartender, for example, they had some pre-​mixes I’ve never heard of before nor seen for sale at other restaurant supply stores in the DC/​Baltimore area.
I’ve been here twice to buy things. Their employees are friendly but young and are feeling out the warehouse a bit; I’m not sure everybody knows the simple stuff like where the copier is to make receipt copies, or where specific sections are.
I advise against paying for goods here in 2 mediums. I wanted to pay for some of my total bill on a card and pay the rest in cash. That took some minutes and a manager, and it involved a circuitous practice of buying and crediting a gift card, a handling procedure that shouldn’t have to exist anymore with most electronic purchasing-​receipting machines.
Other than that my only (and very minor) complaint would be that they don’t sell the «Pulltap» corkscrew /​wine key, the Cadillac of service corkscrews; all restaurant supply stores should have those in stock
This store is very handicap accessible except when it’s time to pay: very tall check-​out table, and you can’t see any running total or product swipe display.
