Client Testimonials

"I had a great experience at The Grilling Store at Hillcrest Ace Hardware. I knew I wanted a Traeger grill but was not sure which model. The staff there was very helpful and gave me all the details on each model so I could make an educated decision. I thought they would try to sell me the most expensive grill, but they were more interested in getting me the grill that was right for me."

"I am a big proponent of supporting small business owners. So, when I decided to shop for a Big Green Egg grill, I went to The Grilling Store at Hillcrest Ace Hardware on University Avenue. Well now let me tell you this ACE Hardware is 5 stars, customer service, delivery, set up.... you get the picture. The staff was fantastic. They were soooo customer service oriented. So, if you want to support local business, I suggest going where they appreciate the customer— The Grilling Store at Hillcrest ACE Hardware."

"Well, I walked in looking for just a small Traeger, the Scout or Ranger. But, with the staff's help I was able to find much more comfort in purchasing the Tailgater. Ever since then I've been gladly coming back to The Grilling Store with my boys to get any items necessary for our wonderful home cooked meals."
