Let me first say: Rather than write four bad/indifferent reviews and one good one, I'll not name names and just say I have visited 4 other dispensaries in the area. There were several reasons why I didn't like what I will call "the others". Not all were the same, but included one or more of the following negative traits: arrogant and sometimes blatantly rude staff. Dimly lit showrooms. It's not cool, I can't see what I'm shopping for. Super fancy waiting rooms/showrooms. These come along with higher prices. Not to mention it's deuchey. Salespersons that don't listen. I am shopping for medicine, not fads. RKO was the first dispensary I stepped foot into. Honestly I was pretty anxious, not knowing what the process was or how long it might take. The bud tender on duty, Libby, made me feel very welcomed, not just to RKO, but to the whole world of dispensary shopping. She was knowledgable, kind, funny and helpful and listened to me. She provided appropriate suggestions for possible solutions. After that first visit, I knew I'd be back. I just had to go see what the others had to offer. Unlike the others, RKO has a very unassuming show room. It's nice, but humble. And well lit. I feel like this is why RKO's prices are better than the others. They clearly care far more about finding their customers the right quality medicine than they do impressing you with fancy leather couches in the waiting area and stylized displays with "cool" LED lights. RKO has some of the most sought after strains in Oregon (Dogwalker, OG Kush, Super Lemon Haze, ATF just to name a couple). Their product selection has grown exponentially since my first visit some months ago. After all, that is what we are looking for: the right high-quality medicine that makes lives better. Not a flashy experience involving a neatly-trimmed beard guy. RKO is a "Mom & Pop" shop. The owner's son Russ has a proper beard. And he is a super cool cat. Like Libby, Russ is kind, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. His dad, Rick is the same. If you're like me and you prefer local small business over huge national chains, RKO is the place for you. Like the difference between Walmart and Grocery Outlet. I avoid the large chain and purposely visit the local small shop. I prefer Super Burrito over Taco Bell. WC Winks Hardware over Home Depot. Happyrock Coffee over Starbucks. Roake's over McDonald's. And Gramma's Corner over Shari's. That's what RKO is to me. The local corner shop where they know my name and are always glad I came. I rarely visit any other dispensary and when I do, I'm always reminded why I call RKO: my dispensary.

Man the prices here are just awful for Medical Patients! The quality of the flower does not match the prices they are charging at all. The concentrate prices are ridiculous too. They charge $17 more per gram than a couple of spots for the same exact cartridges! Before rec started the prices were a lot more reasonable. Seems like this is just another dispensary that has taken advantage of the rec market at the detriment of the Medical Patients that they were originally there for. I can't shop here anymore and drive past it on my way to the many other shops who still offer affordable medicine for there patients! Seriously can get same quality or better for $15-$25 cheaper per eighth at many other dispensaries!

The gentleman working today was amazing, but... this dispensary is severely lacking inventory and style... prices are somewhat astronomical, and the quality of everything I looked at was so-so... I literally purchased reluctantly today...

I bought 3 grams of Dream Lotus and I feel I paid a fair price considering the quality of the buds, and the proximity of the shop to my place. Interior was a little dark, but cool and quiet with a little sofa in the corner where one can sit and read the menu while waiting/deciding. The menu described the strains, the prices are listed on the shelves, and the THC content is listed on the Jars (and maybe the menus too). In my opinion this simple setup made information more easy to digest; and since the menu was freed up to describe each strain, it was easier to decide what I wanted to actually look at once I got up to the counter. I'm that person who's always last to decide on their entree at a restaurant, so the lack of pressure to decide quickly is always welcome, and this place seemed happy with me taking my time. The budtender was welcoming, patient, and honest about their opinions on the product. Overall a good dispensary, would shop again.

Went in and bought a cartridge but it ended up not working. Went in the next day to see if I could exchange it and they told me it worked and sold me a new battery, but it still wouldn't work. Finally went if for a third time saying it didn't work and they apologized and exchanged it. Slightly frustrating that I had to go in three times but they were nice and helpful so overall a pretty good place!

I love this little local pot shop! They have done a lot recently to improve the look of the shop & they have some really cool, informed bud-tenders. I would definitely recommend RKO to friends and often do.

was a spot I liked to frequent a lot until last night when I started being treated like a recreational person when I'm a patient, even got charged as a rec, mentioned I'm a patient I just got a blank stare. I paid the price but in the long run my business won't be ther again.

I stopped in after a nice evening across the way and the two gentlemen at the counter were very helpful. I got the supplies I needed and was on my way. Good product at a good price and I appreciate the courteous service and the clean storefront. I recommend this to all my people, I will be back.

Awesome staff and selection of meds and flowers. Helpful and friendly. I have been to a couple hole in the wall spots that feel shall we say shady... When I found RKO I knew I found my new home base. They recently hit over 50 different strains of indica, sativa, and hybrid flowers. The best shop in town with great hours and a fantastic variety.

I really enjoy coming here and chatting with the bud tenders. I picked up a $15 eighth of nutmeg and a $24 eighth of some other OG strain

Really relaxed place, small waiting room but a spacey show room. Good quality flower, the staff and the atmosphere is awesome, willing to help you soon as you walk in. Right Across the street from a strip club with cheap and REALLY good food ;)

This is my local dispensary, so I go there frequently. They carry a good range of products, but their stock rotates fast so if you find something you like, don't expect it to be there next time. I've always been able to find something that suits my needs, and the well informed staff contributes greatly to this.

Love this place. Solid recommendation on the "Who" cartridge. Haven't been steered wrong with any suggestions. Always helpful, knowledgeable advice. Convenience, premium product, superb customer service... what more could I ask?
