Everything goes so smoothly. All the. Workers are great I've been there 6 times every worker has been awesome and funny . I love this place

Very nice and large corner they have here in Riverside. Cool sleek simple designed outside and inside. Very clean and well maintained. For medicinal reasons I use smoke and gummy products. DO NOT Use your phone inside or out take pics at ALL . None. Not allowed. I've been here a few times and always find them to have all around good customer service. Good knowledge of their products. However; recently I purchased "DogWalkers" pre rolls. They were completely stale. Oh no. This only happened once. When I returned and mentioned it to the cashier it was a "oh well" response. Mmm . Maybe if she looked me up in the system and saw I've been a customer- there should have been a different and better outcome with that. I can suggest to offer the customer something - "oh well" won't cut it for Long Term Stability in the market. But clean place and a large selection for an Illinois based dispensary . This is located on the West side of street on Harlem, South of 26th Street. In a very busy area. Riverside is a historical city with a wonderful and charming downtown areas. Lots to see around here. Beautiful parks and Cook County Preserved Forests . Nice gas station and drinks up the block here. Great restaurants all around . Busy shopping area the North Riverside Mall. read more

Refuse to replace a premium $120 cheetah pen that was burning oil and leaking oil without any cracks . Spend a lot of money there and can't believe they couldn't make it right . Can't go back /: read more

this dispensary is absolutely terrible. I thought I called in and had stated I am medical patient and was checking if they only sell recreational. Whoever was on the phone then stated that they sell medical after that maybe 30 minutes later I had came to their location talked to the person at the front desk when I was then told they do accept medical, but they're not accepting me because I was under age (19), even though I am an valid medical patient in the state of illinois the man at the table told me it was his first encounter with an underage medical patient and didn't know how to do it their for just decided to refuse me business. complete waste of my time. I do not recommend terrible team!! why have your license to sell to medical patients if your not going to sell ?! read more

Horrible experience. Do not go to the blonde bud tender with short hair /W male. He sold me this and compared it to rhythm. He lied. Just save your money and do yourself a favor and ask the guy who takes your ID what is a good brand to try. These new bud tenders are just selling bottom of the barrel. No way to go! read more

Service is mid. I've been here a handful of times and the vibe is always low energy and off ... some workers are great and others are eh. I typically buy pre rolls here and about 4 of 10 visits I receive a faulty joint that is packed incorrectly or falling apart , i understand on thc you can't refund or exchange so I just count my losses on that but its happen enough here for me to not prioritize this place as a customer . My last visit today though I was given pre rolls that are expired , they were harvested over a year ago and even have a use by date on them that has passed. They tasted pretty shitty and it was enough to decide not to come back to this location. read more

Obsessed with this place everyone is always so nice and helpful and I have not found another dispensary with better deals!

I smoke real weed. Starbuds sell plastic. People at the register are cool but the dispensary is a scam. On the website they'll advertise "weed" saying '26% THC', but when you buy it (you can't look before buying it), the labels will say something like '0.66%THC, 26%THCA'. THCA is not weed, it doesn't make you feel anything, and it's not natural. Starbuds sells low quality HEMP with spray-on synthetic(fake) THC, and advertises it as weed, for weed prices. When I immediately tried to exchange my purchase (respectfully) after seeing that it was THCA, and that it looked nothing like the picture and smelled fake, they say all purchases are final, and tried to sell some made up explanation to make it sound like THCA wasn't any different than THC, when it is. According to US contract law this qualifies as false advertisement and sales fraud. Again the employees seem cool, their just doing their job. But I'll buy a 3.5 from a crakhead before I step foot back in this place. Good luck read more

Very friendly and helpful folks working here. Beautiful space. Very well laid out / organized to find what you need. A welcome addition to this area! read more

Budtender ordered for me instead of letting me do it myself and put all THCa in the cart. When they showed me the order, the order confirmation never showed specifics so I was pretty annoyed when I received what I bought. They had recommended everything so I really just wish she would've told me or asked. Also, yes I am aware of the difference. Yes, I understand they convert with heat but I also ordered edibles. And if I'm paying, I should be able to choose what I'm consuming. I've had delta 8,9, THCa, etc. and honestly, could have purchased THCa closer to home. It wasn't worth the trip and I doubt I'll go back. It's unfortunate because I liked the location and otherwise, the staff seemed cool. Don't make the same mistake I did and ask!! read more

Been a customer there since they opened. It's usually a quick pleasant stop along my usual routine. But it seems they're becoming a victim of their own success. Really good deals here and there, but the online ordering has gotten nightmarish. Orders placed not going through or product SOLD OUT when I get there to pick it up, even after confirmation my order was ready. Then sometimes they try upselling me instead of perhaps giving me an appropriate substitution for not having what they already told me they did. That's shady! To make it even worse, all I get is a lame sounding "sorry" and brushed out the door instead of getting one minute to find another item to get. So much for appreciating loyal customers. So sad. they were so much better before. read more

I had the best Experience at a dispensary here, mark, 1 of the managers not only helped me get the best deals, he was also very informative and helpful. I love Starbuds. This location in riverside is so professional respectful and has vibes. Shot out to mark and all the staff there. Smoke 1 read more

Slight decent dispensary. Friday workers suck at listening to you and just want to get you out with anything especially the girls with glasses read more

Made an online order and when I parked the car I realized I didn't have my debit card. I had cash but not enough for my entire order. I got to the front and asked Miguel to take an item off and explained my silly mistake. He came back and gave me a gift! Overall experience was quick and efficient. Shout out Miguel! He's elite. read more

Poor customer service skills, didn't greet at the door. Person who took my ID was on the phone and didn't make eye contact. I wouldn't recommend going to this location, no warm welcome. Other than that clean store. read more

Was going to Medmen in OP for years until it imploded. Glad it did otherwise I wouldn't have found this place. The prices are way better than MedMen, the selection is great and, importantly, consistently stocked. Staff is great too. Remember to tip! read more

***BAIT AND SWITCH SHOP!!!*** Ordered 1/4 online that came to $90 (after sale discount and taxes.) Picked it up and was quoted $107 at the register. I showed the cashier my online cart total and she casually mentioned that this was the second time this happened today. Her manager adjusted the price to $93...still over the online amount. There is not a clearly posted sign that they are aware of any glitch in their system, so beware. I'm going to online order again and see if they pull the same stunt. Until then, I'm shopping at Consume in Oakbrook Terrace. CHECK YOUR ONLINE TOTALS VERSUS WHAT THEY TELL YOU AT THE REGISTER! read more

Best dispo around!! Quality bud quality service!!! Wow!! Chefs kiss. Recommend all day everyday

I'm not big on Illinois dispensary, but when I found out StarBuds was here it was over. I'm a west coast kid and having you all here is a breath of fresh air, in my eyes y'all number one. Nick & Jack them the two to meet, will have you right every time I promise. From the selections to the price everything here is worth it. The energy when you first walk in is refreshing and welcoming. Honestly the whole gang is Lit. Thanks StarBuds. read more

Mark was amazing and gave great recommendations! Ordering online is super easy too!!

Great service,Great selection. 3.5's are around $60 + a 4 dollar surcharge if you pay with a card. It's a bullet you gotta bite if you want some quality bud that hasn't been sprayed with bug spray. Talking to you Lyons,Illinois. read more

ASK FOR NICK when you stop in!! This was my first visit to a dispensary ever and it was a great experience all because of Nick! I originally did not go in to buy any bud. I wanted a bucket hat and rolling tray for my boyfriend but Nick recommended some stuff for light weights! Im so excited to try his recommendations & can't wait to go back! Thank Starbuds & Nick!! read more

By far the best dispensary I've ever been to ... customer service, wide selection, quality ... best of all: solid prices. Not super close to me but very well worth the trip, I'll be back often. Thanks guys!! read more

Been shopping here since the shop opened its doors. Every time I come in I get treated with great customer service. Went in to pickup some shake and Natalie was so kind to help me. She gave me great, quick and concise service, the POS machine was acting up so I had to use the ATM but it wasn't an issue at all. I was in and out of dispensary. read more

First time at this location the staff super helpful especially Bella gave me the best customer service !!

More expensive that going downtown and they close early so if you show up 10 minutes early after rushing to make it you'll be let down. Selection wasn't bad but don't go here unless it's close and you're too lazy to go to a decent dispensary read more

Cool little neighborhood dispensary. Mark was the best help. Great deals a lot of inventory to choose from! I recommend 100 percent

guys are you open thanksgiving!!! today!?!? your phone line is busy!! and it doesn't say special holiday hours!
