Ugh. I mean, it's there and convenient, and the glass shop next door is useful. Being herded through a line while deciding what you want on a novelty restaurant sized menu is not great, though. Theoretically people will help you decide when you get up there but at the expense of the long, winding line you were just in. Also the parking lot sucks, like, it would be less annoying if they just didn't have one.

All in all, I will say ok. Prices definately are NOT "cheaper" than everywhere as they claim, they are just selling for what they can depending on what they get it for. Their "cheap" weed is also lower quality, along with every other retail pot shop. The producer/processors are responsible for the quality and unlike some of the whining out there, retailers aren't taking anything from producer/processors. A lot of the producing clowns don't know how to run a business so they blame retailers. This place and another, which I've reviewed, have some of the best pricing categories. Things to improve on; selection, menu doesn't work well on website and a bit more product training.

Stopped by Ike's for the first time yesterday. Felt like the selection was pretty thin there for a shop with such high acclaim. The shop was smaller than most and had a very fast-paced, rushed feeling when inside. Service was decent at best, could have been more helpful with my questions. Not the worst place I've been but most likely won't make another visit.

Great quality, I'm just not a fan of the huge line and feeling so rushed. But these guys have some great choices.

I liked that they had their "menu" available while you were still waiting in line, helps to decide before you get to the counter. Nice selection, friendly staff, but yes, busy busy. Got a nice selection of various smokables and didn't spend as much as I thought I would. I'd go back there again.

Ike's has unbeatable competitive prices on sativa and Indica. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are wonderful always greeting me with a smile. The gorilla glue and gold leaf brand is fire 🔥. Be sure to stop for the best medical prescriptions.

I've gone to weed stores all across the state and Uncle Ike's is by far the best! They have top notch service every time, knowledgable staff, and fantastic prices!

They herd you like cattle. Coming into this shop after having excellent experiences in Colorado, Oregon, and other Washington shops where the budtenders are happy to see you and more than willing to provide lots of info, it was a rude awakening. I believe this is the ugly side of this industry. Capitalism at its finest. Sell them the stuff and move them out the door. I tip every budtender I've ever had extremely well. Not here. Most shops you walk into, you're assigned a tender for your visit, and you interact with them. They ask you what you're looking for, what medical ailments you may have, questions regarding previous experiences and then recommend proper medicine for you. This place makes you look at a menu and figure out what you want before approaching the counter. It's a pretty terrible vibe in there. They should just get rid of the tip jars, because their service isn't tip worthy. Product is great, but they aren't the ones producing the product so that shouldn't even be a part of this review. Also, I believe they overstate their thc percentages based on strain research.

I work down the street and just came in after bad experience at last store and this place is awesome.

The place is nice. They were all outta the blue dream I came in for but were helpful enough with finding me something else. They have a little glass shop next door but it has a pretty small collection of stuff.

Very professional shop. Easy parking! Polite and friendly security dude checking IDs at the door. Best prices for certain edibles I was shopping for. Saw an interesting new product in the case today ("hi" cannabis ointment....) and picked some up. Always a pleasure shopping here. Impressed and proud of how Washington is rolling out 520 (see what I did there?)

Really good prices

I'm a big fan of Uncle Ike's. I've always had budtenders that were willing to help me pick something new out. I've never felt rushed by the staff, but I suppose the line of people waiting can cause anxiety in others. The selection is great. I usually end up with the cheap buds, but every now and then, it's nice to splurge on some fire.
The worst part about going to Uncle Ike's is the construction on 23rd right now (not their fault) but I still stop by a couple times a month.
Highly recommended, don't let the haters deter you from good cheap weed!

Great store with a wide selection of flowers, concentrates, edibles, etc. Can be a little busy at times but everyone has always been nice and helpful the numerous times I've been to their shop.

I love Uncle Ike's! More so, though, I LOVE Joy! My husband or I stop in 3-4 times per month and we now aim to get Joy to help us every time. We usually buy 2-4 strains per visit and Joy will piece together new strains and specials and her recommendations to get the quantity we want with the budget we have. I cannot review Joy highly enough, and i cannot recommend Ike's enough either. Thanks, Joy! ;) <3

Love this spot! It can seem a bit rushed, but take your time at the counter! The budtenders are educated and love answering questions! I get my Virginia Company weed here for a great price!

Great place!

I've been here many times and this is my go to place but with construction on the road outside its sometimes makes it a pain. Also depending on the time of day it gets packed and wait times are longer. However they always have good deals and they have so many varieties to choose from it makes the drive worth it.

Despite the current construction outside a trip to Unkle Ikes will be worth it. They have a ton of options and great specials. I have never had a bad service experience there.
Compared to other places a toker can take their business, Uncle Ikes fees like a convince store.

Everyone loves Uncle Ike's. Conveniently located and open late on Fridays.

Uncle Ike's is the quintessential tourist dispensary located in a trendy neighborhood.
The budtender was not knowledgeable and the service felt rushed and the prices were outrageous for what your actually buying.
The one saving grace of Uncle Ike's was the quality of their Joints. I toked down a 36.1% GDP one gramer and huffed it all down, it was divine! I had never actually tasted such well grown bud since my days in Canada. The Hybrids and Indica's are a real treat up here! Strong & fruity, pungent, yet light when smoking. Very refreshing!
Overall, it is a nice shop but way to busy and cramped to really get into the buds and speak with someone who is not trying to sell you 40 mg lemon-ginger soda's at $30 a pop! *In Denver, similar drink would cost $8-10 bucks on rec. market.

Felt very rushed, great selection, hard to beat these prices. Wasn't thrilled with the tincture selection. Really wasn't thrilled with the tincture quality. A tincture is not meant to be an all-oil product. Free parking, separate glass and paraphernalia shop next door, a purchase there gets you 10 percent off at the recreational side plus a free car wash.
