Stopped by Smoothie King and ordered inside. It wasn't too busy in the store, although the drive-thru had a steady flow of customers. I ordered a 20 oz Slim-N-Trim Strawberry smoothie, and it was made really well. It had a great consistency, tasted fresh, and was exactly what I was hoping for. We also ordered the Gladiator smoothie, which was just as enjoyable. The inside was semi-clean. We were able to find a clean table to sit at, and the overall experience was pleasant. Service was quick, the smoothies were well made, and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the mood for a healthy drink. read more

I'm writing this review primarily to show the public the truth behind this specific location and encourage anyone who has ever thought about coming here to avoid it at all costs. I have been here on multiple occasions and have even gotten to know some of the works by name. There is one employee in particular who consistently has ruined orders or blatantly gives constant attitude to guests who enter this location, on top of that, I have seen on multiple occasions where this employee does not seem to understand basic hygiene, they have picked their nose and rarely washes their hands or uses gloves, is constantly on her phone and argues with whoever she is on the phone with and openly flirts with customers to receive tips. I'm surprised management has not addressed this problem. But the management and leadership team also has their own problems, I have heard multiple stories of this specific location refusing to hire any male employees based on the belief that "men are too slow". They constantly discriminate against males who apply for the job when they are desperately in need of new workers. This smoothie king location is an absolute train wreck and needs to be reported for their multitude of dilemmas. read more

Worst smoothie king I've ever been too!! Workers were rude and nasty attitudes no customer service staring dead at me and not responding to my questions acting confused. Not to mention they were talking shit and laughing in their native language. Smoothie king fix it!! read more

Today was a way better experience. I appreciate the effort in making my bowl to how it is advertised (and my usual experience). Everyone should have a friendly face and personality when working in customer service or simply don't work customer service. You're the face of the business and your role plays a huge part in the success of the business! read more

Smoothie King - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hanover Park, Illinois

I literally have never had ANY issue here with product or customer service and I frequent this location very often since it's not a long drive from my residence. I always have been satisfied with my order and have tried multiple menu items. I do go into the store area and have not done drive thru or ordered ahead on the app but that's just my preference with most food/drink locations. read more

They get my order wrong 90% of the time. Even after having them repeat the order some how it's still wrong.

The worst location. Not exaggerating. Always getting my order wrong, the wait times for drive thru are ATLEAST 30 minutes read more

This was the location of the former Checkers. Was really excited to see a Smoothie King in its place. Went there but was overwhelmed by their menu. I wasn't looking for a healthy smoothie but a really simple fruit smoothie. I asked the employees who weren't super familiar with the menu if I can get a strawberry watermelon smoothie. He replied they didn't have watermelon but suggested a berry smoothie with mango. I said sure let's go w your suggestion. When he rang up my total my smoothie cost me over $10. I thought in my head wow this better be a good smoothie. It was so thick and lacked any good flavor. I waited for the smoothie to thaw a bit and literally drank so many strawberry seeds. Was absolutely disappointed. And for the price..I was disappointed. read more

Smoothie King - a smoothie in a plastic cup - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hanover Park, Illinois

This location has kinks to work out. They haven't been open long, and they have been way busier than the other location we go to. They also have 3-5 times the number of employees. I think the smoothies taste about the same, which is to say, great! My picky eater didn't love his today, but his tastes have been changing. Maybe the strawberries weren't quite ripe, or maybe the recipe was a little off. I think some time will get this place up to speed with the other one. read more

I can count on this location getting my order wrong every single time. The workers here, now more than three different ones, have been beyond rude and shouldn't have a job working with people. Not only do they get the order wrong (a simple smoothie straight from the menu with no add-ins or changes) but they charge me for the wrong one and make me pay the rest in cash since they can't figure out how to do it with a credit card. Then they don't give me change. Absolutely ridiculous. After the price I pay and the long wait, you would expect them to be any type of apologetic when they get the order wrong, but instead they just make you pay more and don't give any change back. It is a shamed since I used to really enjoy Smoothie King, so much that I would ask for gift cards for every holiday. Unfortunately I just can't support, and will no longer be recommending a company who doesn't value their customers and treat them with respect, professionalism, and kindness. read more

I don't understand how everyone knocks this location. This is the only smoothie king location I have ever been to and they are amazing every time. My items are always made perfectly and the team is efficient. read more

Regularly enjoy the product here. Visited inside the store for the first time today and was greeted with an ear-piercing door chime. Though I had accidentally set off a burglar alarm. Not how I want a relaxing visit to my local Smoothie King to start read more

Driving by and see this great sign and the place looks like it's fairly new. Guess I'll stop in and maybe get a cold smoothie on a super hot day! Walk in and there are 3 or 4 workers and not a one greets me. No one asks if I've been in before or even makes eye contact. Looking around I see it is geared toward a healthier smoothie and perhaps that they sell some workout supplements. Nothing wrong with that but not what I was looking for this day. Won't be back though. Prices were high and completely unfriendly staff. How about some customer service skills guys? Functioning like this you won't last long. read more

I live close to this location and frequent often. The smoothies themselves are always great. However, every time that I visit, no matter the time of day the smoothie bowls are never available. I do not know why this is if they are on the menu? They should not be advertised of the product is never in stock!! It is ridiculous! I think it is honestly the staff being too lazy to cut fruit and assemble the bowl that that is the reason why. There is absolutely no reason they should not be able to make this product and should be brought up to corporate. For this reason alone I will drive to another location. read more

There's one particular worker that works the drive-through at this location that I know it's her by her lack of customer service skills and privileged attitude, it's all the time and I visit often. Not to mention it's not just me. It others in the community that know exactly who she is. She has zero customer service skills and lacks people skills. It's like she hates working but her parents made her get a job. Shame on you, do better! I have three kids that work in food and retail and if they displayed this attitude then I have failed as a parent. My husband has brain cancer and shouldn't be talked down to like he is an imbecile just b/c he is not going fast enough for you. You are at work, that's what you get paid for. Also your drive-through wasn't busy, but it doesn't matter, there's no excuse for the lack of unprofessional behavior when you are at work. No one should be talk to the way this individual talks to people on a continuous basis. Also, the turnaround in this place is nuts. It's obvious management. It's not managing right. New faces all the time.! But that does not mean hire anyone b/c this is the result of it. read more

I am extremely sick right now and can't keep food down. I decided to get the ginger papaya lamoothie. It's nice and creamy on my sore throat and the mix of fruits is great on my stomach and it's very soothing. You really are the king of amooties read more

I came by a couple days ago and the worker Luis was so helpful and very nice to me! He was very patient and gave me recommendations on what is good because it was my first time trying Smoothie King! I really liked Peanut Power plus! The store is really clean too. Amazing work! He deserves a promotion for sure! read more

Customer service is outstanding. Jaileen was very polite and the person who made our drink made it perfectly right. Best tasting smoothies.

No sense of urgency. Smoothies were good but had to have them remade, since it was made incorrectly first time. Asked to use my rewards to get some $ off but staff didnt know how to redeem it to give me the discount. read more

I tried Smoothie King, ordered through the Smoothie King application that refused to provide any prices until you check out. The low carb option I chose and later researched had 20 carbs, that's not low carb. The option I chose also used questionable sweeteners whereas I would prefer it not have anything that was invented in a laboratory and needed to wait for FDA approval before being used as an ingredient. When I arrived to pick up my order the employee had a typical wage slave bad attitude that makes me regretful of even showing up. Finally the $8.09 smoothie had a very strange after taste that lingered long after consumption. I have a hunch Smoothie King while priced as a premium product is actually going to end up as another here today gone tomorrow relic in the dust pan of fast food culinary history. read more

On Friday of September 29,2023 I came to this particular smoothie king which I frequently visit, on the daily basis. I got the go go goji crunch bowl which is my favorite. I come here literally everyday before work. So that should tell you I like the bowl. Ok for some odd reason on this day I got my bowl when I pulled up to the window, I notice my bowl was lighter than usual. So after I notice that I asked the young lady at the window can I have extra granola. She states "that's the proper portion", I inform her that it never look so empty especially for me to be paying the price I paid for the bowl. Those bowls are almost $20 dollars. So of course I want to get what I paid for. I didn't make a big deal out of it so I told her " thank you" , and I drove off. Now when I took the lid off and notice I barely had any toppings an my açai wasn't full neither. So I turned back around to go into the store to just get a refund. I go into the store there I see the young lady in there, also it was a older lady which her name was Debbie. I'll insert a photo there of her. I'm not even sure if that's her real name, because I had to ask her three times for her to give me her name so I can report her to corporate about her nasty attitude. She told me they don't offer refunds which I knew was a fib. She said I can remake it for you, but it'll be the same amount. I told her I come here everyday I know how my bowls are supposed to look. I was trying to show her a photo on my phone of how it's supposed to originally look. she was mean In rude to me I didn't even get a chance to show her the pictures. She says to me "well I have new People working here which was also another fib. She was real sarcastic about it, so I told her "ok you don't have to talk to me like that". She tells me ok you can get the f*** out my store. I said what's your name so I can call corporate on you she didn't wanna give it to me after I pulled my phone out to record her. She also said she don't care about me calling corporate. So she took my bowl in said she would remake it over for me, but no she takes it upon herself to just tell me to get the f*** out. I felt so frightened and discriminated against my ethnicity. I left it alone. The following business day I call up there to talk to another higher management. She picks the phone up, I said hello can I speak to a manager? She say this is a manager I said ok what's your name ? She said Debbie, what's yours? I said can I speak to your manager. She says to me" if this is the same lady from yesterday I told my manager about you in we decided that your not allowed back in the store we would talk to you later and hung the phone up on me. So I asked my friend to call up there in maybe she would get another reaction, but nooo the lady was as much rude to her as she was rude to me. And she is a new customer. She called to get her manager name in she hung the phone up on her as well. Now today I still haven't been able to still get in contact with anyone, because now I'm really livid in upset, I check my bank account in I see that my card was charged twice after I already had one pending transaction from Friday. So now something needs to be done immediately, so sense I can't get through to the actual smoothie king my mother called another smoothie king rep which is located in new Lenox. We told her the issue and she was concern, so she wanted to help us so she asked for my name and number an the smoothie king we was calling about. She said she was go call them to try to get the higher manager information. So she called me back to let me know when she called in let them know she was from another location in can she have his manager information he hung the phone up on her as well. Overall iam dissatisfied with my experience there. There is no way your employees should speak in a derogatory manner. I would still like to talk to someone about this issue. read more

I was already getting fed up with this place when I had to wait 30+ minutes in the drive thru for 2 smoothies. Now they want to ask for a tip? Here's a tip: get off your phones and get to work! I can't see this place lasting much longer. Also, like I'm really going to say "no" when you ask me for a tip in the drive thru knowing that you might spit in my drink if I decline. So disappointed. read more

Being that it was my first time at a Smoothie King, I was extremely disappointed that it did not live up to the hype. Not only was I greeted with a lack of customer service but also treated with extreme disrespect. Anthony (who I believed to be the dark skin tall young man working the drive tonight) not only rushed me to order In the drive thru with no other cars behind me but also could be heard saying "these hoes" into the intercom. He proceeded to continue to be extremely rude and insult me and my passenger. The smoothie itself was disgusting which makes me think it was purposely made this way. I will NEVER give smoothie king my business and will encourage my friends and family to not ethier!!! read more

My Chocolate Peanut Power Plus had chunks of plastic in it!! It looked like a piece of plastic fell in the blender while they made it ..I don't really write bad reviews but this location needs to get their shit together. It's nothing but little kids who work there and It even feels like manager doesn't care. read more

I was so excited this place open ,huge disappointment, bunch untrained, unprofessional teenagers, all smoothies what I bought go to garbage ,no taste, watery ,or taste like protein powder ,spend 30 bucks. My son was so mad , but we learn the lesson to never go to this place again. I feel sorry for this business, I hope they will get better with time . I' m not going back. read more

1 star because thank god there is a smoothie king near by. I've never had a more constantly bad Nutty Super Grain. I've probably had thousands of this smoothie in the last 10 years and I'm so sad they can't seem to make a decent replica of the other stores. read more

I visited on Friday, 7/16 for the first time. I pulled into the drive thru which I was thrilled to see and stared at the menu for at least three minutes and finally a nice voice came on and said " can I help you decide"? I said YES - I just worked out and I want something that taste good and is good for my recovery or popular on this special $5 Friday. The gentleman names three different options and gives the ingredients and benefits. I choose the " peanut butter" something with coco. I drove to the window and thanked DES - I asked him his name because he was so helpful and patient with me. Also, very knowledgeable about the menu. It was YUMMY!! Do me a favor and get over there and support the business so they can stay open as I LOVE having it in the neighborhood. Well done Des and team.. see you soon. read more

Avoid this location at all costs. Staff here looks lost half the time. Not sure if they are new or not but the smoothies came out absolutely horrendous. Some of the smoothies we bought were hot and mushy. The professional and courteous smoothie king you usually expect, is 100% not here. You will be disappointed at the service and how bad the smoothies come out. Go to a different location! RUNNNNNN read more

This location is very unprofessional the smoothies are not made how u think they are it is not worth 10+ dollars for a smoothie that isn't even made correctly and the blenders that were used to make them are not cleaned with soap they are briefly rinsed with water an re used the staff does not wash there hands all day some are high on the clock an have had many other reviews about them being under the influence there was even a lamp broke because of a high employe jumping on the counter and get this he still works there there and there are bugs in the establishment and there is dirt in the ice machine oh and don't forget to watch them when u pay with a card they might add a 10 dollar tip without your permission they should have been shut down there is always new staff every month for a reason . read more

I really wanted to like this place! But unfortunately our last trip was $18 for 2 smoothies and that's as a "deal" on Fridays. They weren't "meal" smoothies or one of those fancy drinks with all the fun stuff on top. They weren't bad but there isn't anything special about them to make them soooo crazy expensive. We won't be back unless they change things. It's just crazy! Go get a whole lunch instead you'll pay the same amount! read more

The employees really helped us out figure our order Eric, larry, Danny helped us through our order and were very helpful

My smoothie was chunky and my dad told me it was expired because I can see the water and it smelled odd and it tasted odd and you can you can see the water as you're drinking it and it's like on the bottom is like all white white read more

This place needs to get their sh*t together. You're selling a $10 smoothie yet You can't get enough employees to speed up the process a bit. Why have a drive thru if people are waiting 30min? And the turnover rate is huge!!! Every day theres a new employee you guys goto start treating your employees better so they can treat your customers better. I was almost a daily customer and I love the smoothies but today I went off on your employee and you won't see me coming back. Very disappointing! I don't see this place being around for to long! read more

first of all, asking to leave a tip is extremely unprofessional. I sat at the speaker to order for 8 minutes before I was just told to go order at the window, then I get to the window and waited another 4 minutes to have my order taken. Mind you I'm the only car here. I finally noticed the guy working was on his fucking phone, visibly upset so clearly it was a personal call. the car behind me even left from waiting so long. won't be coming back while this guy is still working. read more

Just visited this Smoothie King for the first time and am super happy with the entire experience! The guy working behind the counter (I didn't catch his name) recommended the perfect smoothie for after my work out. It was delicious!! He was friendly, knowledgable and just all around a nice guy! Thanks so much! Will definitely be back! read more

This is not a great Smoothie King. Every other Smoothie King I've been to is great. Someone needs to train them how to make them. Go to the one in Glendale Heights not Hanover Park! This Power Punch Plus from Hanover Park is horrible. read more

I've been three times since opening. Once I sat in the drive-thru at the ordering speaker for about 15 mins and finally drove around to find them just hanging out. Another time I got stuck in the drive-thru for over 35 mins and then was super disappointed when my smoothie definitely had double the protein powder as usual but wasn't going to get back in line to order again and definitely wasn't going to unpack my baby to go into the store front- I've ordered it tons from various smoothie king locations and it has never tasted this way. I really hope this gets better as time goes on because I was so excited for this location to open so close to home! I think it needs more supervision from owners because it's quickly becoming a teen hangout with low focus on customer service. read more

workers constantly talking and 30 minute wait for one smoothie. no line whatsoever at the time I ordered, I hope management works on speeding up the drive thru process. read more
