Restaurant Depot is a Members-Only Wholesale Cash & Carry Foodservice Supplier serving independent food businesses since 1990. It offers a wide selection of quality products at low prices by eliminating traditional distributor overhead. The store is a popular choice for foodservice operators looking for savings and convenience, open seven days a week. The location is best visited at night to avoid busy daytime crowds and find easier parking, especially for trucks. Directions include taking the Verrazano Bridge or certain highways, with docks accessible on 19th Street. During the night, parking is more available, and unloading is manageable, though sometimes slow. Drivers recommend using Google Maps for navigation, as GPS may lead to tight streets. One concern is the presence of people waiting outside, which can be bothersome and sometimes intimidating. Customers have expressed frustration with crowds gathering around carts and the potential for safety issues, urging the store to address these problems. Overall, Restaurant Depot is valued for its product selection and low prices, but improvements in security and customer experience are desired.
