Greenside Recreational - Des Moines

My flight was delayed and I needed some pain relief. These guys were the closest from the hotel we were holed up in by seatac, about 15 min by uber, very convenient. Asked for their strongest preroll indica and they delivered... 5 min and BAM! we were out! Very fast, convenient, and affordable. It made my day much better for sure. A big MAHALO to deez braddaz🤙🏾 Highly recommended.

I like everything about Greenside and I've been in the cannabis industry since before legalization, long before. And one thing y'all leave out that could potentially make me a customer indefinitely and you want that trust. So this one thing is so simple: Accurately Label & double check that the Indicas are Indicas and so on & so forth. Most of all make the percentages visible both on the package & more importantly on the online order page, I know you're told to say the numbers don't matter but they do. People really like to be told in a way that they can wrap they're mind around that they are getting the best they can find.

The bud tender took great care of me and my crew. Great recommendations and quality products. Highly recommend I Candy brand for concentrates (rainbow candy)!

Friendly and knowledgeable Ask for big Josh and tell him Jay sent ya. Tried out Pandora's Box and now am enjoying Trop Juice. Good strains for high tolerances like me. First time visit to Washington and Greenside. Will def be back. Full support 💯💯💯 Find me @jormadic, Cheers

Don't go here. Service, prices, product, atmosphere, everything is bad. Except for their new parking lot surface. Avoid this place because it drains not only your pockets but your energy. I wish I could rate it lower than a star.

If I can give zero stars I would! I was told to leave my purse at the door because it didn’t meat the requirement size. Mind you I’ve been here a plethora of times and not one time have I been asked to leave my purse. I explained to him it was my purse and had all of my personal items inside. Security did not care. I asked him if he asked females to leave their purses to which he couldn’t even say anything but smile. At this point I’m irritated, because I have spent A LOT of money in this establishment and now I’m treated like a criminal. This experience did not make me feel good and I will not be coming back.

First off they do have a good selection and the bud they're selling is pretty good quality from what I saw the two times I've been there. The people were very friendly and I really don't mind taking my ID out of my wallet. The only problem that I have with this shop is you can't just walk around looking at the products you have to wait in line until it's your turn then you can talk to a bud tender who will tell and show you what they have for me this is annoying because alot of times I don't know what I'm going to get until I see it so I feel like I'm missing out on something I'm not seeing. Still it's a pretty nice place I'm sure I'll be back when I'm in the area.

This used to be my favorite pot shop however they have to many budtenders rushing the experience I like to shop for weight however this mahia I think that's her name tall ebony was rushing me and making jokes about fast transaction I honestly didn't find what I was look for so I jus left with whatever ..please train or hire ppl who appreciate working

Been going here for couple years all round one of the best rec shops with a hell of a crew.

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.

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!

This review is specifically for Glenn! I went to this shop during last weekend’s President’s Day sale and it was slammed. Lines were crazy long but was moving quickly. My friends and I were helped by Glenn (who was staying overtime to help with the rush) to get our product. The lines were crazy but it didn’t even phase him. His attention was ours and he was an encyclopedia of knowledge on cannabis. I’m talking he knew how the flower and concentrates were harvested and prepared. He did not make me feel stupid for asking questions and set me up with the best strains for me and my anxiety. Such a friendly dude who you can tell cares about the industry. This isn’t just a job for him. This is his passion and it was clear through his customer service. As for the shop itself, it is always clean, tidy and well stocked (for the most part). Some products are over-priced compared to other shops. But the location is convenient and the staff is friendly.

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...

Liked all there products Dislike too many people always slammed. But that’s why oonline orders is a must !!!

they're always so friendly and today with their sale I saved a good amount.

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

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.

I have been shopping at Greenside for several months now. After reading several reviews, I wanted to give one also. This is a good shop and as a newer business in a newer market they are still in the process or growing and adapting. Security at the front door is always kind and friendly. I know they have a job to do especially in that specific location so I don't mind pulling and showing ID. In the back is a series stalls and a huge staff to help what I have seen as a VERY busy place. it does tend to be really loud in there, perhaps some acoustic tiling and or rugs would help. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They listen to what you're looking for or need and make good recommendations. I've been sticker shocked a few times but have either found something less expensive to suit my needs or they have explained it well enough for me to make the purchase. Because it is so busy at times I have felt rushed but I don't feel it was by the person helping me. I wish the selection/display was the same at each station. It's a fine line tor walk... too much product or not enough. I'd like to see them come up with a more clean, less cluttered display that is the same no matter which stall you're at. But that's just my opinion! They carry so many different strains and brands- my favorite strain is often out and different stains can be less money elsewhere but of a different brand so it's hard to know if its a good deal or not. They do take credit cards but with a $3 fee. With that said, I do recommend Greenside. They are a good shop.

Good spot, it gets busy though.

great place great spot

Devaughn is the GOAT of bud-tenders. I will be going back for his hospitality alone. Thank you!!!!

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.

Great customer service love this store

its great they need another location or a bigger facility
