Best weed dispensaries in Ottawa, Illinois with authentic reviews

Dispensary was very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The deals here are amazing! Love this place, always friendly faces and so helpful! Shot out to Manny!!! ALL his recommendations have been amazing! Like seriously amazing!!! To the point that I just go in and tell him what I want and let him choose, he is so knowledgeable on all the strains. Thanks Medmen!!!!

Uriel was my bud tender and he was absolutely awesome! I had to leave the line twice to transfer money and was scared I was being an annoying customer. Uriel was so understanding and kind! I will definitely be back time and time again because of people like him. The entire staff at Ascend River North is top notch. I highly recommend this shop!!

No complaints; very speedy service. Would love if they could get some of Grassroots' "Ray Charles" in stock!

Hatch is by far my favorite dispensary that I’ve visited. The budtender they helped me was friendly & I will be back.

This is one of the nicest dispensaries in the area, you must see in person! free donut and coffee if you spend $40 during the week before 10am . Check these guys out!!

My favorite dispo by far. Nice deals on nice product and terrific well informed staff. Every receipt has some kind of discount for the following week and the rewards points are nice as well. The two Jos are particularly nice and have turned me on to some fine stuff for pain and for sleep.

Thanks to my lovely wellness advisor, Margaret, I had the best experience tonight at the Sunnyside on Clark St. Margaret was extremely knowledgeable on all products and accessories, and was so genuinely helpful with making sure my order was the best it could be. I go to this location weekly as a med card holder, and she truly shines above the rest. Thank you again, Margaret!!! You are THE BEST!

Very chill and knowledgeable staff; excellent addition to the neighborhood for convenience reasons, but also excellent to be lgbt and poc owned and operated.

Best crew on the North side. Location is great, staff is great, products are great. Period.

I’ve been coming to this Rise since legalization and wow what a change. The newly remodeled building is amazing. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Greg is the man! He knows everything. Always fun laughing with the people behind the counter too. Some funny ass mfers. Always a good experience here and their selection has drastically improved.

12/24/25. Sam, the cashier was super chill & down to earth. Really good at his job and took good care of me as a customer! 10/10 experience.

Amazing staff and experience from the moment you walk in the door. Beautiful modern building and esthetic as well! Favorite place to shop in the Lakemoor area.

Kyle was absolutely FANTABULOUS! I came in for the first time on my birthday, and of course technology hates me, so my rewards account wasn’t working! Luckily Kyle was there to swoop in, save the day, and make my birthday absolutely magical! I don’t know what he’s getting paid but he deserves DOUBLE! Besides Kyle being an absolute ASSET to the team, the atmosphere was top tier (seriously I felt like I was stepping into a mini art installation), the prices were to die for, and the bud was almost too strong (in the best way) Thanks again Kyle, and the rest of the amazing staff for making my birthday special! I’ll definitely be back!

RYAN helped steer me in the right direction with 14 grams of Baker’s Dream by Revolution Cannabis. Greatly appreciated!!!

Great service, and very prompted! Knowledgeable about product and consulted greatly! Thank you!

My boyfriend and I picked up our Judges kits today for Cannabis Cup. They did a great job keeping everyone informed. Quite the crowd and everyone was enjoying their time while in line.

Love this dispensary. Have 1 15 minutes away & drive over an hour to go to Rise.
