"Stopped here on a whim upon seeing the sign, been wanting to upgrade my kitchen stuff because that's what adults do! I love this place! They have all sorts of knives, scissors, beard stuff, etc. I was slightly overwhelmed but the owner showed us the different kitchen knives, their purposes, and maintenance. Carl and the rest of the staff are very sweet and knowledgeable. I've never sharpened a knife with a honing steel before. They also offer sh..."

"Update 2/10/2023: There is something for everyone, and with personal service from a friendly staff. I've purchased several items over the past 15 years. An extensive collection of personal-use (EDC) knives, with something for everyone: Case, Opinel, Buck, Benchmade and Spyderco, and even blanks. I took a questionable Case in for him to look at. It didn't seem to pass the sniff test, because the bone looked like Queen winterbottom. He recognized ..."

"I had driven about an hour and a half with a friend to get our knives sharpened properly, particularly since my knives are worth several hundred dollars and I need to keep the edge right, especially since I'm using them a lot every day. I arrived several hours before closing not knowing that he tries to have knives sharpened for chefs within 1-2 business days, which is very fair, but because we had come so far, he was able to squeeze them in and ..."

"This is an exceptionally rare family owned company in business since the 1860’s. They sharpen knives, scissors, clippers, tools etc. the old fashioned way and the only place I would take my good scissors and knives to be sharpened. They offer very personalized service and try to help you any way the can. They have a wonderful selection and can get anything you need if they don’t have it. Heimerdinger Cutlery is one of the few business around to w..."

"Knowledgeable, courteous, and very responsive. From first step to finish, Chef Supply’s attention to detail and open lines of communication with staff is what separates them from the rest. Was also very impressed with in-house fabrication services, the quality is paralleled by none. Very seamless and pleasant experience, as they treated me more like family and not “just another job”. Highly recommend!"

Ravi Sam

"Good company to deal with. Did an install of a steam table at my restaurant still working fine 3 yrs later."

Christopher Ray

"HORRIBLE!! HORRIBLE !!! Customer service and poor installation and repair—because of the absolute disregard for taking responsibility for the issues that exist on the equipment that was installed. I called in last year to address a issue about our restaurant not cooling correctly with the equipment they installed. Needless to say this year it was messing up again and I call in to have someone come and look at it. The guy who handles the repairs s..."

Ryan Teague

"Would definitely recommend this business to anyone and everyone. The owner of the business David is a very kind man who seems to be very fair and cares about what is coming out of his shop, and also small ware store. Over the years doing business with chef supply I have also met his son James who is a very fine young man Himself, always helpful in any possible way he can be. The last time I was in there I had a young man named Andy help me out in..."
