I’m not happy. It’s been one problem after another last time the price online was less than they wanted, the manager was very nice quickly fixed it, I was recommended a strain I didn’t know about bought a quarter can’t smoke it, I asked my husband to call & see if they would maybe exchange it hoping spending about 400 a week there might matter.... the girl picked up laughed said all sales final & hung up.. ok guess that was my fault as a seasoned smoker having bought this random strain, so today I went back to get more of two strains I just bought both 35$ an eight, I was told one was on special... I’m thinking my lucks turning around here... then another budtender says sold out b4 I was told how much the special was... there was 4.5 grams left the guy who sold it to me said he wouldn’t charge the .5 grams... I thought he was joking but I smiled. He said 75$ not even thinking I paid plus ten dollar tip got in my car almost back & realized I was ripped off. Paid full price and paid 5$ for a half gram? I paid 70$ for the same two not on “special” over the weekend. I do not mind paying good money for what I want but I cannot support a business that is taking advantage of their customers. I do my homework & will go places for a specific strain this place doesn’t seem to value their customers or their money.
I overheard the girl at the desk say it’s 2.5$ for a lighter....
I spent over 300 this week & have two mid grade eights.... I came back after some woman hater to other women sold me a giant stem after looking right at it then me stapling it and handing it w out blinking or soeaking bc u have a lot to chose from but I’d rather go somewhere that everyone who works there knows their product & knows how much it is that day. This place lacks organization & clearly communication in their management & staff. I never complain but money is money & I haven’t seen shit extra from this company & honestly feel discriminated against.

They will give you a free pre-roll ONLY if you leave them five star review. The reviews on here are brought. I know this because I left a review of my experience, which was 2 stars. I showed the budtender, who begin yelling “how you trying to get something for free when you saying negative stuff..” I said well y’all are advertising for a free pre-roll if you leave a review and I left a review of my experience. She begins easing her voice so I ask for a manger. While I’m talking to the manager, the girl contributes to speak over me and the manager. We exchange words and I left. . I’m a military Vetern, I been deployed twice I don’t need a free pre-roll, I just need you to say what it is. Say if you leave us 5 stars then you will get a pre-roll. As I’m leaving I heard another worker say “we won’t let her back.” Which is cool by me, a company should earn there review and not entice people with weed to leave good reviews. I started coming here based on the reviews, but clearly they are fake. You get the real experience when you meet budtenders. If you do go hopefully you get Kris or Danielle both are helpful and kind with amazing attitudes. The weed is straight but not worth the drama.

I will never go back here again. The staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. This place used to be my go-to but never again. Don’t support this shop when there are so many more that are way better.

decents meds nothing eye-popping. they keep the bud room dark so you cant get a good look, and all the money they make i dont know why they cant go to walmart and get a $20 intercom if they're gonna have 2 tv's on and the radio blasting. cant anyone hear her yelling names through the glass with all that going on.

I have never left a negative review but I had such a negative experience I want to potentially prevent anyone else from wasting as much money as I did and doing the same. Both times I visited this location the receptionist made some type of error due to not paying attention- second time I waited nearly an hour due to her never looking up from her phone to check me in, or even notice that I was waiting...when I finally got in and after my bud tender changed once I was prepared to buy two 70 dollar grams for 130- I gave the bud tender all the cash I had and asked that she count it to be certain- she told me I was ten short so I ran to the ATM and grabbed 20 to be safe- paying another fee, of course. Then I went back in only to be told by her that I was short yet again even though I had withdrawn more than enough- I used the ATM machine there for a THIRD time and paid a fee again before finally taking my products and leaving- only to go home, smoke what I bought, and sadly be very underwhelmed. Unfortunately never returning to this establishment ever again.

HOD is on the bottom of the list!! I don’t recommend them to anyone.
My last experience ABSOLUTELY sucked.
I placed my order on Leafly. Waited in their ungodly line up for 30 mins. All to be told that they couldn’t fill my order. Advertised strains not in stock. WTF? Why have it on the menu if you don’t have it. Budtender tried to sell me something else. No thank you. Fuck HOD!!!

really cool place staff and security are absolutely amazing they're super friendly and helpful and are always super positive and never fail to put me in a good mood. prices are very good with a wide selection of $20 8ths (i think theres like 20 or 25 dif strains at that price range)and they're about $5-10 cheaper then anywhere else ive been. quality is pretty good but could be a little better but at the price you cant beat it i would absolutely recommend anyone to house of dank and in my opinion one of the best dispensarys around.

This was the first dispensary I went to once I got my card. The customer service I received I was less than thrilled with. The guy was on his phone the whole time and every time I asked him a question I felt like I was bothering him. As he was ringing me up, he made me wait so he could finish texting on his phone. I went back once more to give it a second chance. Once I returned I realized this place is overpriced. It also seemed like I was the only person not friends with the people behind the counter. I went in with two other patients who both seemed to know the guys behind the counter. Since I did not know then I was mostly ignored until I asked to be rang up again. I would not return or recommend to a friend and its a shame because it's the closest one to my house.

This is why I only use leafly to find out about new dispensaries. I rarely if ever read reviews. This site is dominated by free-gram review specials, and it's pretty blatant. It's as if these people have smoked good weed before. Places like HOD, Unified Collective, fuego etc, they're all garbage. I'm telling you, I wasted a lot of time going to these places, you owe to yourself to venture away from 8 mile. Ada is probably the best I've found in terms of quality / price. Helping hand which is right down the street from most of the 8 mile dispensaries is a great sativa place and has great specials ($25 8ers that are comparable to a lot of top shelf strains these 8 mile places carry). New places like mindright are popping up left and right, and people don't even know about them.
The benefit of these dispensaries is that most of them will let you in with just your paperwork. That's the only reason I frequented any of these places. My last visit ended with their little thug bud tender giving me an attitude because he was too high to listen to my order.
Also, is the acupoco gold a joke? Thanks for the free $5 gram that I threw out. I believe you can go down the neighborhood streets and get dime bags of "acupoco gold" 3 for $10. You don't even have to get out of you car!
Joke of a dispensary, take your money to one of the places I mentioned. You can thank me later.

Totally bad service...No Customer Service. I bought lavender and it was seedy. It was my first visit and they told or showed me NOTHING! Went there for lavender and I got more seeds than trees.

I purchased (5) 1 gram concentrates from here which were all spoiled, old and unusable. They were all over 10 months old and obv not stored properly. Most of their products are like this so make sure you check your medication before buying. They have return policies listed for other products(flower) that you can’t make returns on. Nothing posted anywhere for concentrates but would not accept return. When bringing the condition of medication to the attention of the managers, I was lied to and given the run around for 10 days. I ended up talking to Jennica and Kass at the 8 mile location. They were the most unprofessional people(managers!) I have ever spoken with. **the third time I called in that 10 days I was hung up on by one of the above managers. I treated them with respect and remained calm the whole time. ****was then notified by corporate to contact them directly... did so via email and was told someone would be reaching out in a couple days. 9 days later, no reply to follow email and no follow up from anyone. This company obv has issues from the bottom all the way to the top. Ignored, lied to and hung up on.

I’ve been going to House of Dank off and on for a couple years now, and now I’m embarrassed of how much a fool I’ve been made. The prepackaged 1/8ths here have always looked small, but my delivery order on 4/20 contained 16 prepackaged 1/8ths that were noticeably small and light. After weighing ALL contents, only one out of the 16 packages actually had 3.5G. Most packages had between 2.4-2.9g, a few had between 3.0-3.4g. In total, I paid a pretty penny for 52.5 top shelf grams and only received 41.3, though packages claimed I received all of it. Get a scale. Check package contents, because I promise you’re being cheated and lied to.

Low quality shwag that is way overpriced. Only stopped in once to check out the hype - but taking my business to other dispensaries. Step up your game!

absolutely love this place. My budtender I believe her name was annysia was excellent, helped me with all my questions to getting the right product for my pain. Prices are great, people are great, Highly recommend House of Dank!

I was shorted on my money when I left. ⁵ oz. She said she only had received $100. Last time and only time I get hustled there. Girl at the front desk did not get my ID so I sat and waited till something needed to be said.

I hate to write a review like this but I feel like this location is starting to take advantage of their customers- especially those that aren’t very knowledgeable when it comes to quality and processes.
This review is based on the OZ of flower that was purchased this week.
I wish I could share a picture - but I would not recommend this location for flower
Purchased an ounce of immature, untrimmed flower that had ridiculous telephone sized stalks of stems - this location clearly does not take their business seriously and has no regard for the quality of the product they provide especially considering the amount they are charging for ounces of dried out leaves and stems - the plants they harvested from to package this ounce clearly weren’t even close to being ready because if it were ready and even able to be attempted to be trimmed - there wouldn’t be close to even half an ounce of actual product
Over 60% of the ounce that was purchased was dried leaves crumbling into pieces and stems - for approx 200$ - not a single fragment of an identifiable bud is even remotely present when looking at the product
Yes it’s our fault for purchasing it, but we also don’t like making a scene or walking out on our customer service reps because they are fantastic and it’s not their fault they are being forced to sell a product that should not be on the shelf to begin with
I hope this review will alert this location to the fact they have lost focus, and maybe will go back to respecting the product they provide and the people they provide it to.

Been going here for a couple of years.
Used to do a variety of $20 to $40 5 gram eighths, then they stopped doing that once they expanded. The deals are mostly gone and the quality has dropped significantly over time.
There have been multiple times where the budtenders shorted me anywhere between $5 to $40, the latter requiring I stand in the room while they watch the camera recording.
The edibles are hit or miss in terms of quality for price but I would not recommend buying anything here except for cartridges, which almost always leak anyways. This location has gone downhill since they believe they can charge much more since expanding.

I have been going here for years, spent over $5k at this location, I'm telling you so not do walk ups unless you want to be forced to wait in 80 degree weather for 20 minutes while they let every single PERSON in a car in AC go before you because hey think you want to go ahead of the People in fucking cars. Their ATM machine double charged you every time and they fucking know it and leave it that way. The herb is good but the people running the parking lot are stupid assholes who will make you wait so they can serve their friends first. I will not be back unless you people pull your head's from your God damn ass

I've historically been extremely happy with both the quality and service of H.O.D.. Well to day that all changed. I was told they were out of the top shelf slabs only to have one "magically" appear. When I called them and complained about the low quality of the wax, I was scoffed at and offered no help whatsoever. The short sighted greed cost them over $500 a visit from me. I'll be taking my frequent business elsewhere.

the product here is horrible. I've had my card for 2 years been smoking for 30 I've never bought such garbage. the flower is full of fertilizer the wax is old and stale taste like an old boot. they will sell you anything to get your money
