Naperville Restaurant Equipment & Supply

Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Naperville, Aurora, Joliet and the West Suburbs

The western suburbs eat well and have for a long time. Aurora's Roundhouse was built for the railroad in 1856 and now pours Two Brothers beer, Naperville's Meson Sabika serves tapas in an 1847 mansion, and Joliet's Rialto Square Theatre has anchored downtown since 1926.

Every season brings a crowd to feed: Lombard's Lilac Time, a May tradition since 1930, the DuPage County Fair in Wheaton each late July, and Naperville's Last Fling on Labor Day weekend. Out in Will County, Plainfield sits where Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway once shared three blocks of downtown.

Steak, sushi and tacos on the Naperville Riverwalk

Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Naperville-area orders ship from our Chicago warehouse, so west suburban restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, Wheaton, and Downers Grove. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, freezers, sandwich prep tables, fryers, griddles, and bar refrigeration.

Joliet: Route 66, the Rialto and Restaurant Week

Joliet's Rialto Square Theatre opened on May 24, 1926, and held a 100th-anniversary gala in May 2026. Next door, Cut 158 Chophouse runs a steakhouse on Chicago Street, along Route 66, and Jitters Coffee House serves breakfast and lunch a block up. In July 2025, Joliet City Center Restaurant Week filled downtown with 16 restaurants, including Tortazo by Chef Rick Bayless inside Harrah's Joliet, Yura Nuna for Korean food, Mousa Greek Taverna and Puerto Escondido. Bishops Hill Winery, another 2025 participant, pours in a limestone "castle" that was once a German brewmaster's estate.

Steakhouses and Restaurant Week kitchens need charbroilers, chef bases under the line and two-door reach-in refrigerators, while ice cream stands and wine bars run on freezers, countertop display cases and back-bar coolers.

Aurora's Roundhouse and a Latino Food City

Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois, with 180,542 people in the 2020 census, and it was 41.5% Hispanic or Latino that year. It earned the name "City of Lights" after it switched on all-electric street lighting in 1881. Downtown, the Roundhouse was built in 1856 for the Chicago & Aurora Railroad and served trains until 1974. A group led by Walter Payton reopened it as a brewpub and museum in 1996, and Two Brothers bought it in 2011. Today Two Brothers runs a restaurant there with its own beers on tap.

Taquerias, panaderias and brewpubs in Aurora order griddles and fryers for the line, prep tables and work tables for prep, and draft beer coolers and ice machines for the bar.

Naperville's Riverwalk, Meson Sabika and the Last Fling

Naperville built its Riverwalk for the city's 150th anniversary in 1981, and it sits steps from downtown Naperville's restaurants. Meson Sabika serves Spanish tapas in an 1847 mansion once called Willoway Manor, which first became a restaurant in 1960. Every Labor Day weekend, the Naperville Jaycees run the Last Fling, a four-day festival on Jackson Avenue with a Beer Garden stage, which Mixbook ranked No. 57 among U.S. Labor Day celebrations in 2024.

Tapas bars and downtown restaurants rely on undercounter refrigerators at every station, ranges and ovens and glass merchandisers, and festival vendors bring food truck equipment, griddles and fryers.

Free freight delivery with lift gate to a Naperville restaurant

Restaurant Supply Store in Naperville

We ship straight to your Naperville restaurant. Most Naperville-area orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days from our Chicago warehouse, with free freight and free lift gate service. Will-call pickup in Chicago is available for verified restaurant businesses, but most kitchens skip the trip and let us ship it. Most calls from the western suburbs are for a fast replacement, like a reach-in that quit before a Friday dinner rush or an ice machine that can't keep up in July, or for a full equipment package for a new restaurant, taqueria, brewpub or food truck. Tell us what you are cooking and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line.

Why Naperville Restaurants Buy From The Restaurant Warehouse

Every piece of new Atosa equipment we sell is run-tested for 24 hours at the factory before it ships. It carries Intertek's ETL Sanitation and cETLus listings, which certify it to the NSF/ANSI food equipment standards and US and Canadian safety standards that inspectors from the DuPage County Health Department, the Will County Health Department and other local health departments look for.
