Before I ordered some larger kitchen equipment from Elite Restaurant Equipment, I decided to place a small order of a few bulk items I needed. I bought some spoons and parts I needed for my appliances. What really intrigued me were the prices, but I ended up being really pleased with the customer service. Their team happily answered my questions and gave me a better understanding of the major appliances I needed to buy for my kitchen before I placed my order. Everything arrived on time and was in perfect condition. I have been very pleased with the results of the equipment and would highly recommend ordering from them again if you’re in need of affordable appliances for your restaurant.

I own a family bakery, and after the pandemic, we recognized a need to make some serious upgrades to our equipment. We were in need of high-quality commercial mixers and Elite Restaurant Equipment had the exact make and models we were looking for. I also bought some smaller items like hand mixers and mixing bowls, to complete my order. The products arrived on time and were well within the budget I had to meet. They also meet our family’s high standards for functionality and quality. If you need the best commercial mixing appliance, then try out this company.

I wanted to add more snack options at my bar, so I set out to look for some equipment to help me. Elite Restaurant Equipment had the right pricing and product selection for my needs! I ended up buying their Donut fryer. The price was well within the budget I had for the equipment and the product has worked perfectly. Their customer service team even helped me install the fryer properly with my outdated kitchen. I was very pleased by this experience, both with the pricing and the customer service, and I would definitely recommend them to other small businesses in need of restaurant equipment.

Nothing is more important than food safety when you own a restaurant, which is why when our refrigerators went out on a particularly hot spring day, I knew I had to do something fast. So, I tried Elite Restaurant Equipment. I am so happy I did! Before I ordered I sent a message to their customer service team who got back to me quickly and informed me that they could deliver quickly. Within about 7 days, I had the refrigerator that I needed, and it worked perfectly. Plus, their prices are incredibly affordable. I will never order from anywhere else.

Providing my guests with high-quality, comfortable, and attractive seating is important for my restaurant’s success. Elite Restaurant Equipment provided a quality selection of seating options to add to my store. After COVID, I feel it is more important than ever to provide an enjoyable dining experience. Elite gave me an affordable price point and quality products to choose from. I will continue to order from them for other restaurant equipment needs. I also plan on recommending their store to anyone else in my network who needs it.

I was in pretty desperate need of high-quality furniture for my restaurant. I didn’t want to wait weeks like my local restaurant company quoted me, so I decided to take a leap of faith and use Elite Restaurant Equipment. I really wanted to get some comfy booths for my business because I care about the customer experience. I was pleased with the price point and the quality of the booths, but I was less than pleased by the delivery time. If they deliver more quickly, I would be a huge fan of this company.

I have a bakery and when new equipment is needed, I turn to Elite Restaurant Equipment. They have the most reliable products I have found online. I am so happy that I found them, too, since their prices are equally as impressive as their quality. I, however, would appreciate their services more if they were willing to ship the items more quickly. I often have urgent requests and I cannot order from them because the delivery is longer than I would be able to accept. All in all, I will continue to use their services.

LETTER TO ELITE SENT ON MONDAY, May 3, 2021. (Updated: 6/2021) Surprised by high ratings.Wasn’t rust that continued from top to bottom of leg. Was another manufacturer defect. Have no idea what dark gray streaks below surface were, but scrubbing them with Bar Keepers Best Friend, a great corrosive product that restores a variety of metals to their original patina, like copper cookware, had no affect whatsoever. Did work on top “stainless steel” surface, and restored its sheen. However, that was short-lived. Shortly thereafter, noticed dark footprints of my kitten on surface. Never seen that before on stainless steel.I did an extensive search on your site to find a product that matched my needs and specifications. And then I made a choice. The best choice, for me.My expectations were, as with any consumer when ordering online, that the quality of products being sold, the standards of manufacturers, meet the standards and expectations of the consumer.It took over 2 months to receive the product, which was shipped directly from the manufacturer. When it arrived, I had to arrange for someone to carry it one flight of steep steps. That happened 3 days later.If you read my review on Google about the condition of the product when I first opened the box, you will have the exact date I opened the box.People order products but often once received, other priorities result in delays. I suggest you read the review on Google of L&J Restaurant Manufacturing Import (NYC) Inc.My initial disappointment when I saw what I had received was a product haphazardly produced. Sloppy, cheap and low quality. It was frustrating. I didn’t know what to do. I had waited so long. I really needed it, but... I thought about the hassle of returning a product that weighed 50 pounds. I decided to mull over my decision.Then I thought... Well, maybe I can live with a defective product, so I set it aside until today when I began to assemble it. At that point, it was not something I could live with.One of the “galvanized” steel legs is rusted. When I called before writing this email, the Elite sales rep said, if you properly maintain galvanized steel, it will not rust, to which I responded the product was rusted upon arrival. All of legs, 2 legs per box are scratched.The rep also told me Elite has a 30 day return policy and mine expired last week. However, the review on Google is based on what I saw when I opened the box. That was more than 2 weeks ago. Not wise to argue with the customer.When people stand by their products, vouch for their quality, they do not refuse to accommodate consumers when the consumer determines this was bad/defective purchase and must be resolved to the consumer’s satisfaction. This is a prudent and smart business approach. “Satisfaction Guaranteed” That establishes brand loyalty. That’s what keeps consumers coming back.This experience has created a loss of confidence in your site as a distributor of restaurant products. I know what good products look like. I know that good products are built to sustain their quality, not diminish, over time. I will not be ordering from your site again.Another issue is, I was under the impression from visiting your site that products sold were produced in America. But this was not. I make informed decisions. I always read labels... Was the fabric, for example, made in America, but shipped to India for mass production?Below are pictures of rusted galvanized steel, which I photographed upon opening the box.The photograph on your site (top one) completely misrepresents the actual product. Furthermore, surface of what was received does not even accommodate a cutting board.Will add additional photo of entire table. But for more specific details about production quality control issues, best to read L&J review.

As a returning customer to Elite, I have spent literally thousands of dollars with this business, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. In fact, I’m placing a new order right after I finish this review. Why? Because this company knows their stuff. Their customer service is superior and their ability to deliver the best products at the best price is incomparable. I’m proud to be their returning customer and I recommend them for any restaurant that needs quality equipment, fast. Shipping is excellent, the price is fair, and the customer service is great. What’s not to like?

Our patio has been our biggest seller for our restaurant during this difficult period. Fortunately, when I needed patio furniture that looked good, was high quality, and perfect for outdoors I knew I could trust Elite Restaurant Equipment. They have already given me tons of high-quality products but the outdoor furniture was really good, too. However, I wish their prices were a bit more affordable. I could use all the discounts I can get. Good experience overall.

Owning a deli requires you to operate well in a fast-paced environment and have the equipment to do the job right. I was in need of a meat slicer after mine suffered a fatal blow. So, I searched for restaurant equipment and found Elite. I was pleased with their selection, delivery times, and price points. But, when the items arrived there was more wear on the items than I had anticipated. All in all, however, the equipment operated just how I expected it to, and I have been pleased with its efficiency. I would order from them again.

Anyone who owns a restaurant knows how important equipment like refrigerated prep tables is. We bought 2 of them for our large kitchen and couldn’t be happier. We have had them for about 6 months, and I wanted to wait that long to leave a review to give it the proper amount of time. They have kept our products ice cold and we have had no trouble with them. I will be ordering a few other pieces of kitchen equipment shortly. I look forward to implementing them into our restaurant kitchen.

My daughter used Elite for the first time to order a new pizza prep table/undercounter cooler unit for her business Ronzoni Pizzeria in Hyde Park NY. It turned out that that item was out of stock but Leni at Elite Restaurant equipment upgraded us to a larger unit that was in stock for the same price. Awesome product and awesome customer service. 5 stars to Elite Restaurant equipment.

Starting a business at the tail-end of a pandemic might sound like a bad idea, but Elite Restaurant Equipment made it possible! I cannot sing the praises of this company enough. I literally stocked my entire restaurant with their equipment I ended up buying walk-in refrigerators, a few commercial blenders to make my mixed drinks, and miscellaneous items like cutting boards and knives. Everything showed up when they said it would and they even offered a small discount for my bulk order. Customer service stayed in contact with me, ensuring I was aware of the delivery times, etc. It couldn’t have been a better ordering experience.

I own a smoothie shop and we have an ongoing need for blenders. We cannot buy enough, seriously. So, I was pleased when I visited Elite Restaurant Equipment and saw their price points! I could not find a better price point for the equipment that I needed, and I needed to purchase multiple products, so it was even more exciting to find them. My order arrived on time but some of the blenders had a few scuff marks etc., which was slightly disappointing but ultimately not a big deal.

My favorite thing about ordering from Elite Restaurant Equipment is how simple it is to order from their website. As a small business owner, it can be a serious pain to search and buy items online. And sometimes you don’t know what you’re getting. With Elite, I was pleasantly surprised at their price points and the ease of use for their site. The delivery timeline was a bit off, and I ended up waiting longer than I was quoted. When I brought this up to their customer service team, they were very friendly and answered my questions thoroughly. I would certainly order from their site again if needed.

Having never ordered from Elite before, I was nervous. Buying major kitchen equipment online can be risky. But I really am glad I found this company. They have been very helpful during the ordering process and their items arrived well within the timeframe they quoted me. I was also pleased with the payment process. They made it simple. I bought a couple of underbar sinks for my bartenders and a commercial exhaust hood, both of which arrived in pristine condition. I would order from them again. Give them a shot if you need restaurant equipment.

I placed on order on August 30th 2021 and never received it, I have emailed numerous times and spoke to a girl named Crystal that assured me she would help get me the product I ordered and she never got back to me. When you call their phone number nobody picks up and if you can get through they leave you hold for 30 minutes then tell you to leave a message and then they hang up!! Big scam company STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!

Even the most basic restaurant supplies require a professional company. That’s why I choose Elite Restaurant Equipment for the items I need. I bought a few sheet pan racks for my bakery and am so pleased with the products. The prices were far lower than I could find locally, which was a major bonus. The only negative is that items had a few scratches here and there. I wasn’t that displeased with this, but it is something to be aware of when you make a purchase. I will order from them again, though.

Best for small bodegas and deli shops. Elite has everything I need for my deli shops. They are reliable as i purchased from them many times for larger items (refrigerators and freezers) and smaller items like sinks and whatnot. The thing with them is I know if anything goes wrong on delivery, they will make it right and that is worth 5 stars for me any day.

I purchased bar stools from Elite Restaurant Equipment which came extremely quickly. I need replacements for my existing bar and all the other companies I called told me 3-4 weeks. I found Elite and they said they can ship them out the same day since they had them in stock. The quality of the barstool was good but not perfect. Some of the stitching was not aligned perfectly but the fact I received them in 3-4 days for the price I paid, I am a happy customer and would recommend others to use them.

Sometimes you just need the basics, which is what I needed when I placed my order from Elite Restaurant Equipment. I ordered a few coffee servers, taco holders, and bread baskets for my café. I was very pleased with the quality of the times I purchased. My only complaint is that the products were higher priced than I had anticipated. I found a bit cheaper price elsewhere. Luckily, I brought this up to the customer service team and they let me know they will price match next time I place an order. I will order again.

Discount equipment is what we wanted when we sought out Elite Restaurant Equipment. As a small business, we always look for ways to save money. Their selection of dented and scratched equipment was just what we needed. Their prices were incredibly affordable, and we were highly pleased with the results and equipment we received. Our team ordered 2 discount refrigerators and some stainless-steel tables for our kitchen. They arrived on time and just as described. I will continue to order from them for both discounted and retail-priced equipment.

I found stainless steel tables with wire shelving which I could not find anywhere else. I ordered them; they were a bit expensive but shipping was free so that made me feel better. Overall, the review of the table is good for my commercial kitchen. The shipping was a bit delayed, but I got it in a week. It came packed well with no damages or anything like that. Elite has a nice selection and some items they have other stores do not have which I appreciate.

I purchased small equipment’s from this place like sinks, wall shelves, and tables (stainless steel). All came as advertised (1-2 business days). The price was competitive although a bit more expensive than amazon, I wanted to get them from a specialty store since its for my restaurant. The grade and quality of the equipment is commercial which is exactly what I wanted and needed.

I was in need of a commercial oven for my small café and I found Elite Restaurant Equipment to offer the pricing that was well within my desired budget. I purchased a countertop convention pizza oven to add to my kitchen and it has worked well. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the delivery time. It was longer than I was quoted. However, the customer service team for their company was incredibly friendly and answered my questions without hesitancy. I will be placing my second order with them shortly.

I bought about 3 different items from Elite Restaurant Equipment to jumpstart the process of using their services. These items included a meat slicer, a commercial mop, and a commercial shelf. Each item was affordably priced and was delivered on time. The only problem I had with ordering from this company was a few minor bumps and scratches on the items. I would have happily given them all 5 stars had they delivered items that were in perfect condition. If the packaging was better, I would have been happier with the results.

I am a returning customer; I have used Elite Restaurant Equipment 5 or more times for my different locations. These guys are honest and willing to roll up their sleeves and go to work for you when necessary. For example, in these times I could not find a 3-door glass freezer anywhere, they are literally out of stock across the board, amazon, webstaurant, everywhere! I called these guys and within a couple of hours they were able to source it for me, incredibly pleased and happy with your service, thank you!

If I could leave Negative stars I would! This is the worst company I have ever felt with. They messed up my delivery after I called and confirmed it 3 times. Yes 3 times I called to confirm my delivery date and they just didnt show up. then they tell me that day after confirming 3 times that my deli case isnt going to be here for a month. After my delinis literally ripped apart waiting for this equipment. After about 5 different people I got someone who got me a case that I didnt order. Then Finally get them to come 2 days later, they tell me first thing in the morning make sure your there. They dont show up. Finally after being hung up on 4 times they come at 8 P.M! The delivery driver tells me they didnt even call him till noon to schedule this delivery. I ordered my stuff 2 months prior. Show up with damaged product and missing casters I paid extra for. Now 6 months later my deli case dies! Yes a 6 month old case dies. Its took 4 phone calls and being hung up on again. To get someone to tentatively come Monday to fix it. We shall see if that happens. When I say the worst I mean the absolute worst. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THAKE MY WARNING!!! I AM TRYING TO PREVENT ANYONE FROM HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.

I ordered a donut fryer from Elite Restaurant Equipment. After I ordered the donut fryer which by the way was made by Belshaw, they called me and advised me I needed additional parts such as depositors, etc. I was a little frustrated at first because the depositors are expensive, and they are shown in the image, but I didn’t have much of a choice. Months later now after receiving everything and installing everything I am a happy customer. It was frustrating at first because I felt like I was getting upsold, but I realize the person who called me knew exactly what he was talking about. The quality of the product is great, and I hope to make a lot of money for a long time with this donut machine. The bottom line is these guys know their restaurant equipment and they know what they are talking about.

I was looking for a deli case online and everyone was sold out. I found Elite Restaurant Equipment and became a first-time buyer from them. All said and done everything came as advertised and described on their website. The price was a bit more expensive than others I found on ebay, but I had bad experiences with ebay in the past. I also found a different website that had a better price, but they were out of stock. Because of the service and fast delivery, I would shop here again, although I may be able to find it for a couple of bucks cheaper elsewhere, I am happy to overpay a bit for peace of mind.

The worst company to buy any equipment. I bought a commercial Prep table and I am so dissatisfied.1. I was promised to receive delivery in 1.5weeks worst case 2 weeks and I received delivery almost after 1month even for that I had to call them every week.2. When I received it, it didn’t have cutting board and pans which were included in the purpose. And then had to wait another 2 weeks to receive them.3. The pans don’t even fit in the prep table they are so loose and keep falling. They quality is so bad.4. Tried to contact their management(sent them email) never received any reply.5. Not to mention my sales rep who I placed my ordered with is a Director of Sales and can you imagine how the other sales rep ‘must be in handling any customer issues.I am so frustrated and regretting why I chose this company to buy such expensive thing. I order other equipment from Kitchen Monkey and they delivered in 3 days and the quality of their products is excellent.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANYI purchased a pizza prep on April 13. It was shipped and has been sitting at the freight terminal since Tuesday. I tracked the shipment and was told to notify the terminal. they will not release the equipment to me as they told me Elite Restaurant has not paid the freight bill so they cannot release the equipment to me. I have been going round and round with Elite and keep getting passes off. I had placed a second order the day after the order for the table prep for table tops prior to knowing the issues I called and asked to have the order stopped and refunded on the table tops and are telling me it cant be because they are a reseller.. Abf freight it telling me that Elite has not paid the shipping invoice and elite is saying that it would not have been picked up if they had not paid the invoice.

Do Not buy SS restaurant sinks from this company. This is NOT a reputable company. I called today, because even the 3rd replacement 3 compartment sink was also damaged with dents and leaking wash compartments. Now less than 1 year all 3 sink compartments are rusting.My plumber originally roughed in for this particular sink - so I was stuck to finish installing the sink.Consumers should pay close attention to this companys rating of 3.....The representative I talked to today told me there was no record of this being my 3rd replacement 3 compartment restaurant sink.Also the man told me that there was no record of 3 faucets being shipped to me due to the company recommended the wrong size faucet for the sink.Its clear they deleted all my customer contact records.Wow... I have several emails from the company regarding the conversations and replacements of these sinks and faucets.Company is dishonest, and deletes records at their advantage.

If you are reading this, Youve also made the mistake of not looking here first. Or, you are smarter than I and did some research on this elite company. Much like Simran, my experience has been one of poor communication and lies. I ordered a refrigerator on the 22nd of march. After a week of no contact and no update on order status (Order Taken), I called. They said that it was a manufacturer issue and the unit had to be built. In the meantime, they tried to upsell me on another unit that would arrive a mere 4 days earlier, however, it was priced higher. I asked for them to take the difference off and id be in. What they said was this We cannot discount the unit as it is the last one in our warehouse and we would have to order a new one. What? So i decided to wait the 2 weeks that they told me it would be. My mistake. I called the company yesterday, 14 April, and they promised that they would get back to my by close of business. Nope. Today I called for an update and the person i talked to pawned it off on another employee who was supposed to call 30 minutes ago. Im still waiting. Long story short AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. I am canceling my order and have learned a valuable lesson.

What I really liked about Elite Restaurant Equipment was how easy it is to find the items you need. For example, I own a sandwich shop and they actually have a category for sandwich restaurants on their website. I was incredibly pleased with how well organized everything is on their site. I was able to find the furniture and miscellaneous items I needed rather quickly. Their price points were also very fair. I did find their shipping to take a bit longer than I would have liked.

When something breaks in your restaurant, it isn’t just a hassle, it’s a disaster. Lucky for us, Elite Restaurant Equipment exists. I ordered a couple of large refrigerators and smaller miscellaneous items like cutting boards and spatulas, and Elite got it to me quickly and for an affordable price. I was pleased with the quality of what I received, as well, considering how little I paid for everything. You won’t find another company quite like this one. They give you quality for a great price.

I own a small business, so I used Elite Restaurant Equipment to get a good deal on some items I needed. I ended up finding some incredible deals on a commercial kitchen sink and a reach-in refrigerator that had some slight dents and scratches.

If you want a decent product for a good price for your restaurant, I would recommend these guys.

Here’s a scenario no restaurant owner wants to face: a broken-down walk-in refrigerator. Our restaurant stores all our meat and sauces in a walk-in fridge. When it went out we went into disaster mode. I asked around about where to find a good refrigerator and I had several people in the industry direct me to Elite Restaurant Equipment. I was very pleased with my experience with this company. I asked about how long it would take, they told me 14 days, and it arrived in less time. When I got it, it was in excellent condition.

As a business owner, we needed to find a spot to find exceptional restaurant equipment for a fair price. We are on a budget, after all. These guys fit the bill perfectly. They offer quality products and even offer discounted stuff which we have bought on a few occasions. I was so pleased with the equipment they have for sale. Seriously, no one else offers the quality they do—I’ve bought from several companies online with not even half as good results. And their customer service was surprisingly great. There is no other business out there that offers what they do. I highly recommend them.

I spent about half what I would have at my local restaurant supply shop too. Quality products, great customer service, excellent price.

I needed a commercial steam table quickly for my kitchen. I was doing okay with traditional methods, but I could no longer keep up with the demand for certain items on my menu because I lacked the steam tables necessary to pump them out quickly. I turned to Elite to get the tables I needed and I’m glad I did. They had just what I was looking for. Their shipping left a bit to be desired, but I was pleased with the items when they arrived at my doorstep.

I tried out Elite with a few small items like mixing spoons and measuring cups first. I wanted to see how quickly I received my items and what kind of condition they were in. Boy was I pleasantly surprised when what I purchased was the highest quality I’ve ever seen. The items arrived in about a week and ‘measured’ up to my standards. I turned around and purchased a couple of refrigerators and was incredibly pleased with the results once again. Great job, Elite!

When my longtime donut fryer went out, I was scrambling to find a replacement. At first, I tried my local restaurant equipment store. I was fairly certain they would have what I needed, and they did, but the price was about double what I wanted to pay. Not to mention most of them required about 30 days to get the item to me. I couldn’t go that long without my donut fryer, so I kept searching and found Elite. They have great customer service, fair prices, and a much faster turnaround than other companies out there.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!Says on the website ships 1-2 business days, waited over a week and still didn’t ship, only in the confirmation email does it say everything is over a week behind on most orders. No big deal, canceled the order and they charged me over 200$ to cancel the order.

I run a fairly small start up business that I needed to furnish with some new kitchen items. A buddy of mine referred me to Elite Restaurant Equipment and I was fairly pleased. They helped me stay in my budget range and were able to help me get a fast shipping date which is always appreciated. I will highly recommend people to stop by Elite Restaurant Equipment.

I am passionate about saving money on energy while reducing the carbon footprint of my restaurant. That’s the reason I choose Energy Star appliances. I, of course, also like to save money. That’s part of the reason I chose Elite Restaurant Equipment. They offered both high quality equipment and energy star efficient appliances. I was very pleased with the results they offered for both. The only issue I had is that my item arrived with some dents and scratches that I did not expect.

Ordered 5+ weeks ago. No email, no calls, no communication. They basically took my money and disappeared. I’ve called customer service non-stop and they make up lies to get you off the phone. They never follow up or follow thru with anything they say on the phone. If you buy from this company, they will likely steal your money. Elite Restaurant Equipment is a restaurant owners nightmare. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Don’t waste time looking for other equipment supply stores! Elite has the best equipment imaginable for the best possible prices. Seriously, these guys have the prices nailed down to a science and the quality is there too. I couldn’t believe how professional the equipment was when I received it. I bought a walk-in refrigerator and stainless steel microwave shelves. Each item was in excellent condition when it arrived. However, it did take longer than I thought to get here. Could have been a better experience there.

I called this place because it was my last option to find a 7/11 case for my business. All other retailers were no longer carrying this case. Spoke to a very nice sales representative he told me all the measurements, benefits compared to other cases and ultimately I purchased the case and it was delivered the exact date that I needed.When I received the case it was in GREAT CONDITION no starches or anything. I am very satisfied with their products and staff. Will definitely continue to purchase from them for all 8 of my locations

Stainless steel is the best possible material for any kitchen. It’s sterile, easy to clean, and durable. I needed new surfaces in my kitchen to replace some old butchers blocks I had to make due, and I ordered my stainless steel work tables from Elite Restaurant Equipment. It was a great decision. These guys know their equipment and were incredibly friendly throughout the process. The tables arrived on time which was a big deal because I was renovating my kitchen and they were the last piece of the puzzle. Now I’m back in business and happy.

Restaurant supply stores are pretty much a crapshoot. I had no idea what I was in for when I googled restaurant supplies and found Elite Restaurant Equipment. These guys have an amazing selection that really cannot be beat. The goal of my shopping experience was to get a professional grade toaster, some janitorial equipment, and juicers. I wanted to try out their service with a few smaller items. I was NOT disappointed by my experience. Everything showed up by the delivery date, was in great condition, and worked great. Very happy. If you want good service and great products, give them a shot.

I needed a few tabletop supplies for our little restaurant and so I chose to buy from Elite Restaurant Equipment. Their diverse selection and affordable price point made me want to buy from them. Because I bought about 20 items, my order was slightly all over the place and I didn’t get everything at once. But I did talk to the customer service team and they promised it would be delivered together. That was the only hiccup when ordering from this company. Overall, I was pleased with the results of this company. I’d recommend them.

Where Elite excels is in their prices. I bought almost every piece of equipment I needed for my kitchen from them for a fraction of the price I would have paid at my local supply shop. They saved me thousands of dollars in equipment pricing. This helped me get my store opened more quickly than I expected. But when it comes to quality, it is a bit lacking. Overall I am glad I shopped with them, however.

It can be hard to find quality pastry supplies online. I tried to shop at our local bakery supply store, but the company we have didn’t offer what I needed. So, I discovered Elite Restaurant Equipment from a google search. These guys have just about everything I needed. The bakery supplies were high quality and arrived on time when I had expected them to.

Commercial work tables are not easy to find. Especially if you want to save money. I was able to find them, however, through Elite Restaurant Equipment. Their store was well stocked, their people were very friendly, and I enjoyed every bit of my time with these people. If you are looking for a competitively priced commercial work table then choose them. They also had fast shipping which really saved our butt come opening day.

I’ve been in business for about 3 years, and overtime I’ve slowly been building the restaurant equipment I need to run a well oiled restaurant. However, the costs are so high it’s taken longer than I’d like. Fortunately I now have Elite Restaurant Equipment as a resource now! These guys offer premium grade equipment for a fraction of the cost of other restaurant supply stores. I bought some equipment stands from them and they arrived on time with no hidden costs. Their team was very friendly as well, making for a pleasant buying experience. I will be buying more equipment from them in the future.

Shopping for restaurant equipment is an overwhelming process. That’s why I was glad my friends recommended Elite Restaurant Equipment to me. After spending hours trying to find the perfect deli case to display our sandwiches and pastries at our coffeeshop, we finally found the ideally sized case. We made the purchase and the item arrived on time and well within our budget. We were very pleased with the quality we received for the price we paid. Also, their customer service team was incredibly helpful in answering our delivery questions. If we have another large piece of restaurant equipment to buy, we’ll buy it from them.

I could put this below 0 stars. Literally nothing is good. Bad delivery, poor service, no email response, won’t pick up the phone, no return policy, and don’t get me started on the merchandise. The pizza prep table I ordered literally looks it was made by a college student in their parents garage. I kid you not.Unless you go to the warehouse make sure you do not buy from these guys.

BUYER BEWARE! I ordered 4 custom shelves for my kitchen on 4/4/19. After many calls from me, they finally arrived in June, more than two months later. They were dropped on my doorstep before I had a chance to inspect or sign for them. All 4 had extensive damage. The packaging was mainly intact so this damage was from the factory. They were covered with dozens of deep scratches, many dents and poorly done soldering. The joints looked like a 6 year old did the job. I returned them to Elite immediately asking for a refund, replacement or repair. They acknowledged receipt of the shelves. Since then, I have called and emailed repeatedly. They have one excuse after the other. The latest excuse is that the shelves were lost in the factory. I paid nearly $1000 for these shelves. Beware of this company. As of this writing, they have not stood behind their product.

I own a soup and salad spot in my local town and when one of my refrigeration prep tables went out I ran across Elite Restaurant Equipment and found their prices extremely reasonable. Their items were on sale at the time, making it an even better deal than it already was. I was thrilled, because my budget is limited and as a small business I’m always trying to reduce costs. The prep tables arrived before the delivery date, were in great condition, and the customer service was on point. 5 stars

I needed a reach in refrigerator for our cafe. We have sandwiches and other various products that need to be kept cool. I didn’t want to spend over a certain budget but of course quality was a of a serious concern. That’s why I opted to buy from Elite Restaurant Equipment. Their products were on point as well. We got the reach in refrigerator and it arrived on time and has worked well so far. I was pleased with how quickly it came and how affordable it was. I fully expected to spend much more for the product, but they did a great job of pricing it at a price we could tackle. Very pleased.

Ordered two dish cabinets and it’s been over 3 weeks, I still have not received them. Every time I speak with someone in customer service they have given me an inaccurate shipping date. After two weeks of them telling me it would be shipped this week, I called and instead of getting a phone call back, a representative emailed me back. We emailed back and forth a few times because he wrote me a vague delivery date; “this week,” so I sent him an email requesting my money back, I got zero response.At this point I’m unsure if I’ll ever receive my order or money back.

I found a surprisingly good deal on some chrome wire shelves from Elite Restaurant Equipment. The shipping was super fast, with it arriving in about 4 days from my purchase date. I used the shelving to add some of our extra food items for easy storage. I was pleased with how simple the installation process was and the durability of the shelving. They were very friendly when I made the purchase, and I couldn’t ask for better customer service considering what I used them for.

Everyone knows how important cleanliness is to a restaurant. When our commercial sinks went out, I had to buy a sink fast. We literally cannot operate without one. So I bought two from Elite. The items arrived super fast, which is a good thing because we couldn’t wait around for them to be delivered. I was so pleased with the entire experience. It was lovely to be able to communicate directly with the people who were shipping the items. Seriously, it was an amazing experience I would absolutely buy from this place again. Thanks for keeping my restaurant clean!

Undercounter refrigerators are notorious for their poor quality. At our store, we knew we wanted to get an item that was higher quality, but we didn’t want to go over a specific budget. So, we found Elite Restaurant Equipment. These guys offered everything we needed and for the price, we were hoping to get it for. The only trouble we had was with the shipping. IT took a lot longer than we expected, so I couldn’t quite give them 5 stars.

I never thought that commercial wall shelves would be so difficult to find and buy. I connected with multiple online websites offering them but the prices werent that affordable for someone on my limited budget. However, I ran into Elite Restaurant Equipment online and saw their great reviews and decided to buy my wall shelves from them. Each of the shelves I bought was exactly as described and it arrived precisely on time. The team for their customer support was easy to contact and was very friendly as well. I was pleased with my experience.

What makes Elite Restaurant Equipment so good for small businesses is their price points. You cannot find equipment of this caliber at this price anywhere else. Their site offers everything you would want without the expensive price tag. I found some seriously expensive refrigerators and deli cases through their shop and got them rather quickly. One issue I have is with their packaging. Because my items weren’t packaged correctly, they had slight damage and scuffing. But in general, it worked out for me.

When you need equipment for your business you do not want to wait a second longer than you have to. That was exactly where I found myself when one of our kitchen refrigerators went out. I knew I could order out of a catalogue, but I also knew it would take forever to get the items to my business. So, I checked out Elite Restaurant Equipment after someone in the business recommended them. I ordered our refrigerator right from the source for an unbeatable price. They also offered free shipping. I was pleased with the final product.

I purchased four items from Elite Restaurant Equipment: A bundle of high chairs, a commercial sink faucet, refrigerated prep tables, and a butcher block table. Every item was priced well below what I’ve priced elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised by that. Also, all items were shipped within the quoted time. However, where I did have a minor issue was with the scratching and dents on the refrigerators I purchased. I feel they could have been in better packaging to protect them from damage. But overall a great experience.

At our bar, we love doing creative things to keep our customers coming back for more than just a few drinks. We had a few ideas, but eventually decided to start selling donuts in a variety of flavors. The biggest problem we had was finding a donut fryer. We needed something that was compact, affordably priced, and that worked correctly. So, we found Elite Restaurant Equipment and decided to buy their donut fryer. Our commitment to giving our customers ended up paying off big time. And we are so happy to have found this company. We got a good price and the fryer arrived quickly.

I needed restaurant food presentation supplies when I found Elite Restaurant Equipment. I found the bone saws, juicers, and commercial mixers I needed all at a very affordable price. I am on a limited budget, so finding these pieces of equipment for far less than the high-end box stores was a serious plus. The company was very easy to contact and offered good customer service when I needed to know where my delivery was. It was a great experience all around and I’d order from them again.

We own a family restaurant and we’re always looking for a great way to save money. We used Elite Restaurant Equipment to buy a few items like bread baskets and cutlery for our tables to ensure that our guests would have a great dining experience. The items we purchased were delivered quickly and the customer service team was friendly and fast. They answered our questions and helped us figure out which items were best for our needs. This is a great place to buy restaurant equipment if you’re on a budget.

Our small lunch cafe needed high quality commercial stainless steel work tables and I’m glad I found Elite Restaurant Equipment. These guys are pros at what they do. I bought two work tables and they arrived within 5 days, which is great because I needed them in a week from my purchase date. Their team was very friendly when I called before placing an order, and the items showed up exactly as they were described on the website. The entire experience from start to finish was a 5 star one.
