Restaurant Depot

The prices are great, the staff is extremely helpful and the food is high-​quality.

The best for restaurant shopping. Really good prices! You can’t bet it. One of the best things here is the fresh produce section

Wholesale business for restaurant and business owners. Not open to the general public. You need a membership card to enter and make purchases. Has everything you need to run your business from meat, fish, shellfish, spices, seasonings, alcohol, sodas, cooking gear and pots and pans. Everything mostly comes in bulk. They take cash and credit cards. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable of their inventory. They have parking inside and out of their building.

For business owners great place to buy meats, fresh seafood, and produce. Their Maine Lobster are at a great price and fresh flown in whole Salmon.

This place is a wholesale supplier for restaurants/​caterers, but anyone can gain access to the membership. Once you do, anyone can walk in and shop and pay with cash or credit card as long as they have the membership card present — no ID required. Signing up is free, too, and all you need is a Tax ID of any corporation. If the Tax ID is classified as Tax-​Exempt, you don’t even have to pay tax. I believe you can even make purchases on the same day you sign up (although I’m not certain).
Once you’re in, it’s kinda easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of merchandise they have to buy in there but try your best not to. Try to do a little reconnaissance on your first visit without the intent of buying anything and take notes on the prices — they’re not always as good as they seem.
With that said, there are still plenty of deals to be found in there. I know I usually get charged about $ 5 for a tiny box of Mixed Greens from Milam’s and i get roughly 10X that amount for about the same price (sometimes less, depending on the time of year). This is also a must-​go pit stop before any large BBQ party where you wanna save a little cash on the main events, burgers and hot dogs. These are big, wholesale quantities so be careful and try only buying what you will use and avoid stocking up on perishables. Most meats can be individually wrapped and frozen.
I recommend:
–Produce (greens, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, herbs)
–Meats (ground beef, pork loin, eye of round, smoked salmon)
–Cooler (cheeses, frozen appetizers, ice cream)
–Dry Good (drinks, chips, candies, olive oil)
Stay away from: kitchen equipment, plastic containers, and eggs/​milk. I’ve found all these things to not be worth such a large purchase or outright overpriced on a per unit basis.
