Was awesome and very well managed with legalization craze in effect. Got flower, pre rolls, concentrate, carts and edibles. Yes the lines are long and taxes high, but cmon it’s legal now and the quality is unmatched in the streets! Great service, pricing(getting better daily) and awesome management and bud tenders!

This was the second day of legal recreational in illinois, and with a low number of licensed dispensaries, lines were incredibly long. Through January 2020, i would expect at least an hour long wait and probably significantly longer the later in the day you arrive. The "wellness advisors" were friendly and could easily offer suggestions for other products if the one you were looking for was out. Keep in mind, there are going to be a lot of people that are new to cannabis with a lot of questions, and that does slow the process down. The people in line were great and the line process was well managed. What needs to be improved is some of the communication about what you can buy and what counts for what category.

this place is the absolute worst dispensary ive ever been to out of 4 different states over 5 years. i stood in line for almost 5 hours in freezing rain to enter an empty dispensary with the most rude and least helpful staff ive come across only to learn theud lied about what products they has in stock all day. they are taking advantage of the naivety of customers and charging over 4 times the value of the product they sell. do not waste your time or money you cant make a purchase without being ripped off.

I told myself I'd never go back again unfortunately I did not listen to myself. Placed an order for an Indica Strain and received a text confirmation that my order was ready. Drove 1 1/2 hours to pickup my order only to find out they switched my order due to they were out?! Rise Dispensary in Effingham, IL is gonna be my home spot from now on due to the lack of brains at Sunnyside!!!!

Worst experience ever! The service is extremely slow, I waited 3 1/2 hours to get what they wanted to give. Everyone was given a menu prior to entering the building and asked to write down what you wanted. Once people were inside every person had at least one item that they were told was out and needed to be substituted. With no menu, you are stuck with their choice. The guy at the check out counter moved as slow as possible then coughed and sneezed on my change before he handed it to me. Not to mention the taxes and prices were very high. I will take my business to Michigan where I can get what I want, not stand in a line, and not get scammed out of money. I will never shop sunnyside again

The worst experience I have ever had at any retailer. The security personnel are complete assholes. The bud tender are arrogant and unfriendly. This place would be out of business if there was an competition. Illinois needs to free the market and sunny side needs better management.

First experience was great. This second trip, not so much. I'd sit on here all day explaining the bs I went through, but it looks like I'm not the only one. They got 5 stars last time. This time, if I could give them 0 stars I would, but 1 star is default. Never will I set foot in a sunnyside dispensary again. Btw, prices are astronomical even for a shortage. It's obvious that my first trip was a fluke. Do better Cresco!!

I loved this place before 2020. Now every time I go there I get verbally attacked by security. Would not go if medical, they will make patients wait out in cold while serving rec.

Pros
-Rewards program; online accounts; offers.
-Cool brochures.
-ATM inside.
-Variety of products; decent quality.
Cons
-Overpriced; prices shown are before a hidden 35% tax.
-Long lines; staff exaggerated the wait times.
-No parking.
-Took until COVID to get shit together & figure out the science of online ordering.
-Rude service at the pickup counter; was incorrectly told RSO could not be vaped in a wax cart.
-Overpriced sale of CBD products; seems deceptive.
-Medical patients take priority to such an extent that shopping recreational is uncomfortably difficult.
(Numed is also guilty of many of these things, but offers slightly better service. Sorry not sorry.)

Always great customer service. Supply is much better. Shuttle driver is nice too. Don’t forget to tip Smiley.
Only thing is the exceptional number of armed security guards. I get the need for security. I respect the guards. It’s just a buzzkill to worry about firearms at the dispensary.

The staff is great. Very helpful and friendly. Online ordering makes it very quick most times. I do wish the location allowed for more looking at product.

Every time I’ve been past, they’re _never_ open for adult-use sales. Medical only.

What is up with Illinois prices? They are 3-5 times higher than Denver, Vegas, Cali ... even Michigan who is new to the game smokes Ill on their prices. In Vegas/Denver carts are under $20, wax is usually $20-30 G, quarters are $54 in Vegas and $48 in the D ... ya'll are selling $25-30 for a G of average weed! Cmon people, it has been a couple years now, get with it. $100 for a G of wax is INSANE!!!

I am a fan of Sunnyside

I really appreciate a lot of your crew here and I believe he is a manager maybe but the guy… he presents himself super well has glasses and brown hair… he usually grabs the green for the people running the registers. But yeah he’s always calm mannered and takes time to answer and answer correctly any of my questions… much appreciation to you!

Well first off they need to all be on the same page, I come here frequently and I mean on the regular, and one day one Karen of a manager decides not to take my state I D cause my kids bent it, although it still scans and works and I’m a 70s baby so now why didn’t you take my ID? Get your management on one page and decide! Don’t take it one day and not the other consistency!! Disappointed
They were very Courteous and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant too I will continue to shop there and tell my friends too

Didn't log my pickup order, was very rude while I tried to confirm the order. Told me it was the wrong address, showed them the address was correct.
Either the staff in incompetent or they lied in alerting me that my order was ready.

I understand they get some bad reviews, but honestly their prices are better than other local dispensaries, they always run sales and you can be in and out during the right times. I actually had a major issue with a purchase and was really mad. I went back and a manager named Tyler promptly and very professionally helped me with my issue. He was polite and understanding and actually made me feel a lot better. He seems like a good, smart manager. I know when you go inside it can feel a little weird-like some employees are looking all mean and tough and like judgy, but everyone is actually really cool. Even the security guards. You just have to talk to them a little bit. And they are way nicer and cheaper than nuera or some other places. And thats a fact jack. I just appreciated the help. Thanks Tyler!

I'm from Florida and the staff made it a easy fun experience. I highly recommend this location!
