Greenside Recreational - Des Moines

I’ve been coming here since 2016 and have always had a good experience until yesterday. Sophia was horrible and disrespectful and should not be working with customers. She clearly didn’t want to be bothered with me asking any questions about what I was purchasing. I thought that’s what they were there for? If a customer has some questions that should not be problem. When asked her name she would not give it to me and I had to ask security as I was leaving. Get rid of her she’s horrible and she has made at least one customer myself not wanting to frequent your business anymore. There is a lot of options with dispensary’s and I will go somewhere where I’m treated with respect while spending my money.

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...

The door man was extremely rude to the point of antagonistic when asking for ID. Black man with tattoos on his face and hands. When asked for his name he wouldn't give it to me.

I had a great first time experience in your shop! There is soo much to choose from so it could be a little intimidating but to be honest, I felt like a kid in a candy store! Darrina (Hope i didnt butcher your name girl!) was who helped me and she was a gem 😊 she helped me with all my questions ,got me hooked up with some sweet deals ...She even taught me how to make pot butter so i can make some edibles at home with the bud I purchased . long story short the whole place was super welcoming and laid back, Thanks guys until next time!

I loved this location. Andrew was polite and friendly. Let me know his main concern was making sure his customers are happy with quality bud!

This was the first shop I visited that also had snacks for sale. Yep, munchies for those of us who get hungry. Plus, the staff is friendly to newcomers.

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.

I am very new to smoking. For years I had a very rough reaction to most pot and figured it just wasn't my thing. Well I also have a lot of pain. I was a professional athlete for the first 15 years of my life, this ended with a total knee replacement at 14 and have dealt with that pain most of my life. Once it became legal in Washington State and I read more about the over all benefits. I went in and told the staff I was brand new and open to trying different types of methods. I've learned so much from the staff here. I never feel like I'm being "sold something" It's clear they have daily deals and brands they are pushing for. But when I let them know what I needed help with they walked me through all the types and ways to "smoke". They helped me find some really good CBD strains that work for what I need. My pain and stress is so under control now. I'm also off a lot of meds I was depending on to just live. The staff here is just so knowledgeable and really care about what they are doing. They're all stoners but really combat the "stoners are all lazy bums" line really well. They know what they care about.

Great deals, they sell everything an enthusiast might want or need and every day there's product on sale. Theres a shop inside for glass, wraps, rigs, snacks and tobacco. Bought a Piecemaker silicon pipe in there and I love it. I've probably dealt with each bud tender there and they all treat me with nothing but respect. All of them are very knowledgeable and friendly.

My wife and I have been going here since they opened. The budtenders are extremely knowlegable and friendly. If you want the "Dream Team" of bud experience go on a Sunday morning when David, Dee, and Dominick are working. Together they have more information about strains and desirable effects than any other store. I have never gotten a bad recommendation from this store. We love Greenside, go check it out! ED
