Greenside Recreational - Des Moines

I love this place! I live up in Seattle near the Lake City Way location, but since the fire there I have been making the long trip from North Seattle to the Desert Moines location at least once a week just because of the professional, personalized, friendly, knowledgeable service these bud tenders provide to each and every customer! And the great deals and low prices on everything every day are an added bonus! Can't wait for the Lake City Way location in Seattle to open up again! Hopefully it will be in the very near future!

I absolutely love this store. 2nd time I actually made purchases. The staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgable, fun and upbeat, and very professional. I purchased Sour Diesel and Durban Poison from Cannasol Farms and Blue Bubba from Farmer J's. The Diesel and the Durban smoked terribly. They were so harsh. Flavor lasted 2 bowl hits and then I had to kick the bowl which means there was no cure process. And there was mold in the sour diesel (I have grown cannabis so I know what mold looks like). Cannasol was very disappointing I was disgusted. I paid a lot of money for garbage. The Blue Bubba however was excellent. It smoked beautifully, it was so fragrant and smooth. My high was perfect. Blue dream is one of my favorite strains and I enjoy Bubba so the two together were fantastic. Farmer J's I will be purchasing more from you! I will be back to Greenside to try more of their products and get advice on what farm to not buy from (Cannasol)

Awkward store setup but extremely helpful and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visiting again.

Great location right off freeway. Open 7 days a week! Huge/Awesome variety of everything from edibles, flower & concentrates. And they have a free VIP membership that lets you know about specials/sales/deals & 10% off!!! Everybody is so nice, friendly & helpful! My fave place to shop =-) !!!

EPIC FAIL!!- Well I Thought This Was A Good Shop To Buy Weed, And I Suppose It Could Be If There Were No Other Choices, But Fortunately For Us, The Bud Consuming Public, There Are Other Choices. Most Of The Gram Sakks Here Are On The Average $5 Too High..That's Just $5 More Bucks Going Into The Owners' Pockets..I Noticed That They Would Carry A Decent Strain Of Weed For A Little While, Then Switch It Up With Some Dog Sh*T..(They Actually Had A Strain Called "Dog Sh*t"..LOL !, Prob Goes Good With "Cat Piss")- Anyway.. .. When You Can't Get High On Their 'Mediocre At Best' Weed, Then The "Bud Tenders" (Oh They Must Think They Are Certified "Bartenders), Hence The Obvious In Your Face "TIP JARS" !!--YEP YOU HEARD RIGHT....TIP JARS!! Strategically Placed And Just Overflowing With Bills ( Of Course Also Strategically Placed) Will Tell You To Spend Some More Money On Extracts And Oils And Pre-Rolls And Etc., Etc., Etc., Well You Get The Message.. $$$ Is The King And They Will Take What You Will Give Them...I Mean Who Is Actually Selling Grams Of Leaf For Over $20 These Days? Greenside Is YAY!! ....AUTO CORRECT=NAY!!----EPIC FAIL!!

Went to see what this place was about and met Martell (sp?) who was excellent. Knew his strains and was very helpful. Would recommend chatting with him if you swing by and want a subject matter expert. Good stuff, great selection.

I really like to go to this place, everyone is really nice and friendly and, they always have quality products. The only thing I'd say is that the online menu is not updated. I went today with four different strains in mind that I wanted to buy, but they had none of them, even though they appear in the online menu. just a friendly comment to see if they consider to update the menu.

I have been shopping at Greenside since February 1st. Once a week customer. Always greeted with a smile. HUGE staff always on duty. Extremely large selection. Might be the only downside actually. Almost too many choices to explore at once. Great parking. Great hours. Open very late even on Sundays. Defiantly already have and will continue recommending Greenside. I even brought my brother from California to explore the shop. He loved it

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 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.

Good spot, it gets busy though.

My first time in the shop was on 4.20 and they were giving out grams of Blueberry for $4.20 (naturally). After getting home and looking up the strain I found that it had great reviews and had won a number of awards. Props to the shop for not passing out cheap sh**. This is my ho to shop now and they've always treated me right. Great product, great people. Layout of the shop could use some optimization but it gets the job done and the longest I've had to wait is about 15min. Parking is a little awkward also.

I love this place. Staff is chill and friendly... They offer a friendship kind of vibe where others seem very corporate almost. I really dig the space and the conversations. If you're looking for somewhere to have an experience, I would say this place does that. I'm grateful. I know you will be too!

We were pleasantly surprised to find Greenside packed, on the day before Mother's Day. There are going to be many happy Mommas, not including our Bud Tender who said he wasn't a Mother even though the guys up front said he was.

Awesome pricing, they have stuff at every dollar value. I don't review unless I am not happy but this staff was so awesome that I felt the need to. Great shop, I can see why they were voted best in the state.

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.

This place is dope!! Employees are pretty cool too!

Over priced. Double check your online orders. Staff is helpfull.

Always busy great parking right next door. Friendly bud tenders a very stess free shopping experience.

Too damn expensive! to be honest.

This is a great place with amazing buds top shelf is my absolute favorite. great staff, friendly and helpful this is my shop I don't go anywhere else.

Awesome first time there, security jae was nice and helpful. Advised me of your 10% off my 5th visit when I came in. Store was packed but the line moved pretty fast. Good selection, I'll be backkkk.

My go to store, Have had nothing but top notch service from my 2 usual tenders, did get someone new at one visit and very disappointed to find out when I got home both strains were wrong and not happy about that, other than that again top notch, and dab master at the register is a stud

Was unhappy with the service. Did not know they were doing. Will not revisit.
