Star Restaurant Equipment

I think it is interesting that other reviewers are complaining about paying "high" prices for the quality products at Star. If you want a bargain, go to Kmart. It's worth paying a bit more for a pan that won't begin to disintigrate after a few uses, and the prices at Star are certainly not inflated. The reason this establishment has "open to the public" on their sign is because many stores that sell restaurant-quality stoves, fry machines, etc sell only to other businesses. Not so with Star -- you will get the same personal, personable attention whether you need to buy a knife for your home kitchen or an expensive range for your restaurant. The most fun area for the regular-guy is the gadget shelf (ever wondered how they make those radish roses? Now you can do it at home!)

This is the place to go if you own a restaurant and need commercial appliances. My uncle has been going to them for his restaurant needs for almost 10 years and he loves their items and service. However, it is a bit expensive. He recently bought a commercial panini maker for about $600 and the item is great quality but I saw the same one used on ebay for half the price. Definitely better than Smart & Final but not cheap.

PROS: Quality ites, great selection
CONS: A bit expensive

This restaurant supply company brags on their sign "Open to the public" - you think you're getting in on something and going to find great deals. Well, not so much. If you need something super hefty duty that is hard to find, then go for it. Otherwise, not worth the trip.
