Greenside Recreational - Des Moines

Excellent service, helpful, respectful bud tenders. Very informative of their strands. I go several times a day. Positive uplifting atmosphere makes you feel happy to be a weed smoker. The grass is definitely greener at Greenside Recreational.

great customer service.. they are very knowledgeable

I've been going here for a long time and they have a huge selection of stuff you can't walk out unhappy..

Great service, selection, and friendly staff to help you with your purchase. Also, the ability to pay with a card is very convenient (small $3 fee at the time of this review). Although the store is easy to miss when driving by, the signage is good, and there is plenty of parking in the gravel lot just past the store. When walking in, it is not clear that there is an ID check right by the door. A sign there would be a nice addition.

A great experience. Selection and service were excellent; I'll be back.

Location is great David was a great help.

Everytime I visit the staff is incredibly helpful, willing to take the time to explain everything to me. One employee in particular, Triston, has gone above and beyond multiple times to make sure I'm satisfied. Overall I would highly recommend this place!

Was not really happy with my visits. stopped by it was crowded and busy but the service was not good. unhappy :(

I've been coming here since they first opened and I love how the shop is expanding. Great service, online orders are super quick. ATMs available and also you can just get your paper and pipes there as well. I love it here. I know most budtenders by name, and they always come through with whatever strain I feel like lighting up. I definitely drop by here when I'm around the area. Only problem is my favorite strain is pricey here, and it only comes on Thursdays if I want to make the deal...

I really love the enthusiasm of the budtenders to get you something you'll really enjoy. I know what strains and hybrids I'm looking for when I go in, and I tend to do an online order for faster pick-up (I'll come back to that). It's a very clean and tidy store with tons of stock at really great prices. I do love the online order process, though in the last couple of months the line for picking up online orders has taken a lot longer to get through. Not that there's a lot of people in the "express" line, it's that there's not enough budtenders tending it or paying attention. Despite that, this is my store of choice and I love coming here.

This store is the closest to my house and in the last three years I’ve only seen it get better and better. Budtender Nico and co. are great at what they do, and will help you find a product you want and like. And if you’re more like me and like to ask for suggestions, they’re great for that too! Definitely would recommend, if you’re in a hurry, to online order, though. Sometimes the line can be pretty long.

only positive is the guy helping me was super nice but its super EXPENSIVE, long lines, and seriously..they dont let u touch it at ALL. i can understand maybe not handling it but i just turned the package over to read the thc% and the guy said no touching at all!

I love this location. They have a large parking lot with free parking. The staff is super-friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend stopping in!

Been coming here since they opened. Only recreactional shop between Tacoma and Seattle. Selection is huge now! With a large staff you get plenty of strain recomondations. BECU members if you continue straight instead of turning left on Pacific Hwy use the ATM at the 7 11 just after the light on the right for free withdraws and after smoke refreshments.

This place is a giant candy place for adults! So much variety and very knowledgeable staff. Sometimes the lines are long but it's worth the wait. Everyone is very helpful and friendly.

Went there last nite! 1st visit!! great place.. Employees were awsome and prices r good I will b back!!😊

Greenside is like my second home! Close to the airport when friends visit.

Love this place. I've been coming here since they first opened almost 2 years ago. Prices are reasonable for their location, and everyone on the staff is friendly and always very helpful. It can be really busy in the evenings, but that is expected due to everyone getting off work. They always have a great selection of strains and lots of different options for trying new ways to enjoy marijuana.

NEVER AGAIN I FELT RUSHED. I STOOD IN LINE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. IT WASN'T A VERY NICE EXPERIENCE.

Odd that it's on an ugly, out of the way and unsafe location with probably the cheapest rent of any weed store and their prices are higher than the best prices in Bellevue.

Ok! After reading ALL of the reviews about Greenside, I'll give a review that wasn't done by a "5* rated employee" or an overzealous customer expecting to have an experience equivalent to Disneyland. Now, let's start with the security. I honestly have no issue with it, I understand the world we all live in and I'd do the same, if not more, if I ran a store filled with nothing but weed. Every time I've been there, they've all been pretty cool with me. Some guys try to act tough, but it's kind of their job you know. The front end of the store looks like any typical smoke shop, glassware, accessories etc... The back end is the actual dispensary, about 4 display stalls/kiosks and an employee per blah blah blah...For the most part everyone is generally nice but, like any job there are workers that are very knowledgeable and some that aren't. I've never really encountered anyone being rude but I have felt rushed a couple times but never treated with any disrespect. In all honesty I'm not here for them, I'm here to buy something...And I'm an adult that knows how to shop on my own. As for prices, the first few months they had really great deals and lots of selection. But obviously, when businesses grow they run into that whole "supply and demand" dilemma. And learn lessons when they sell "fat" 2g for $15 and some customer(s) comes in and buy large quantities in one instant and nearly wipe out the stock lol. Recently I've seen the prices go up a little, but the product is still good. And look at it this way, you/we are paying for convenience. Instead of having to call and or wait on your "guy", there is a place that provides it nearly 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. And as with most new businesses they need time to grow, these new laws were just recently passed, this shop is still less than a year old, and they will make some mistakes along the way. I think with some time it can and will "grow" into something bigger and better. I still have a few #s in emergency situations, but I do like, and prefer to be able to shop at an actual store that I can see what I'm buying before I buy it.

I always shop at Greenside Rec!

Great selection. Experienced staff who are very knowledgeable and are able to help you get exactly what you are looking for.

decent, i will be back. wish the online menu listed thc/thca/cbd contents. stop hyping the 'total' thc content.
