1 star. I ordered ahead expecting to save time, but when I arrived I still had to wait in the same line as everyone ordering inside. It honestly felt like I got penalized for ordering in advance. I could care less that the store was closing in 10 minutes. I placed my order ahead of time, and if I knew I'd still have to stand in the regular line, I would've just gone somewhere else. read more

I don't like it when a company gives you the BS that their bathroom is not operational.

I don't understand how a cart can be $17.00 but then my total still adds up to $30 or almost $40 for a half gram cart overly scamming while at bud and Rita's u get a cart for $17 you pay $23 that makes more sense don't go their they overly scamming read more

Great dispensary, great staff, great bud. However, it's getting 3 stars for me because they only accept cash right now, and it's been like that for months. And even when they didn't accept only cash, they don't accept Apple Pay. There are plenty of dispensaries that do. read more

07/26/21 - Ever since they legalized the use of marijuana products in Illinois I have been curious to see what type of things they sell. I met my sister here today to satiate my curiosity and see what they have to offer. When I got there the building is very non descript all white exterior w/frosted windows obscuring the view inside. 2 things to know you need a valid ID that is checked as you enter plus they only except cash. If you're planning on buying anything make sure you bring a lot of cash cause this sheet ain't cheap. After you go in the entry checkpoint you go through another door where they have a number of displays, iPad screens that show the entire product lines available. If that's not enough there are staff members inside that are very helpful & knowledgeable about the different products & what the uses are. They are more than willing to walk you through to make sure you get what you want & need. They have a whole array of different products some to alleviate pain, others for stress relief, anxiety, oils, vapes, tinctures, edibles, creams, lotions, recreational use or just to get 'F' up. Dude I just wanna get stoned lol . There are so many variables affecting the price. If you have a valid medical use you get discounted rates, seniors get discounted rates (let's get all the old geezers stoned dudes) There are also heavy taxes on all products. After you make your selections you go the cashier to pay. IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW * Make sure you bring cash as they (ONLY ACCEPT CASH). Lots of cash depending on what you intend to buy (better to be prepared. * First timers get a discounted rate (ONLY THE FIRST TIME). Once your hooked Baby you'll be back * Medical discounts for people that have a legitimate need from a doctor * TAXES, TAXES, TAXES are ridiculously high even for Illinois & Crook County so come prepared read more

See all

Amazing staff thats always kind and helpful. I definitely recommend this location. ATOM inside will get you exactly what you need!

The service was very fast and helpful. The budtender really took the time to help me make a good decision and explain the products effects. would definitely come here again if I come back to Chicago! read more

I've gotten sooo many bunk Quarters of Cookie strains from Rise Nile's, I now avoid Rise like a plague. They should invest in sampling more of their intakes. I'll never shop at Rise again. Old dried out, terpless garbage!! read more

RISE Dispensaries - Niles - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Happened to notice the dispensary driving by and since i had never been to a dispo before decided i needed to quell my curiosity!! If I could merge this location and the Mundelein location together into one, that's what I'd do. I'd take the size of this location and mix it with the medical options and location of Mundelein. Employees all seemed friendly and helpful. Showed us how to use the iPads to search for product and place an order. I was so shocked to walk in and not see any actual product or advertisements or anything but i guess it's due to the laws in Illinois (eyeroll, ask me if I'm surprised). So you can SELL weed but you can't look at a photo of it. Makes a lot of sense, right? There was no line, and this was on a weekend. There was plenty of parking. The store was nice and bright and very large!!! (My biggest complain about Mundelein location is the size. I wish it were as big as this one!). They seem to have a decent variety, although i believe last i read on their site is that they dont have medical (?) at this location, just recreational. Overall, this was the first one i visited and have only been to the other store referenced above. I have nothing else to compare to. But seems like a great option with great employees. read more

Okay first if you are Asian or something else they will treat you like no one. Supervisor is rude guy or Meneger I been here since this dispensary opened. I bought every week 100$ stuff but they Some times they charge twice no refund if you have no English they will screw you. Also product is not good you guys must see that regulation safety !!!!!!!! I will never go there again read more

i have gone to rise multiple times and the staff is always friendly and nice. the store is efficient and quick ! my only complaint is that sometimes i will order a specific accessory and i will get a notification that my order is ready yet when i go in they give me an accessory that is similar but not what i ordered. I think at the least we should be getting notified that we are not getting what we paid for or asked if it's alright to substitute the product. I find it to be a bit unprofessional. overall kind staff. :) read more

Double check your receipt to make sure you actually get the discounts that they say they are giving you on your online over Was unable to get this issue resolved though chat Tried to call the operator just repeated over because non of the number you pressed did anything Waiting to here back from the email I sent But after talking with the chat on the website I'm not expecting much read more

Looked up medical dispensaries close by and this was the first one that popped up. Walked a couple miles to get there and they told me it was recreational only. But wasn't in the description for it. What a waste of time. Consume it is. Don't know why I wasted my time. read more

Was really nervous in a first time dispensary but they made the experience really easy. Inside was brightly lit and cozy, very modernized and cleanly. The edibles are much better priced than other dispensaries and they were kind throughout the process. Highly recommend and will come again if I'm in the state. read more

So.. went to the Niles Rise Dispensaries for the first time on Monday. Upon entering, I asked the greeter if they could handle medical transactions, as I have my medical cannabis card. They said yes they could and that the additional 15% discount (which is applied only on Mondays for medical patients) would be included and they said yes as well. I told them that it was my first time at that Rise location and that my usual dispensary was the Rise in Mundelien but I had been in that area and was curious as to what the Niles store looked like. The sales staff was very friendly and I reiterated that I was a medical patient and Rise Mundelien was my normal dispensary I visited. After picking out several products, it was checkout time. They had to bring over a manager who could actually take off the 15% discount manually and that took some time and made me wonder why the medical transaction what so cumbersome. I assumed I wasn't the first medical patient to by product from them. I went home and decided to double check the receipt which I rarely do. What I found was that the 15% was applied but unlike typical medical transactions, a wopping $50 tax was added to my $180 purchase. I assumed that since they staff told me that they could perform medical patient transactions that it would be a similar experience to the Mundelien Rise which is more conveniently located very near to my house. Not the case. They conveniently neglected to mention that while they could do a medical patient transaction they would have to apply the typical recreational taxes on my purchase. Thats not what I was lead to believe would occur. I went drove back to the Rise in Niles, which was about an hour away from my home, to discuss this with a Manager. I asked to speak with a Manager and eventually a nice young guy met with me and I told him my story. He said he would speak to the "boss" in the back office which I assumed was the Store Manager and disappeared for a short time. He came back and told me Store Manager Boss ultimately couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it. Nice customer service. So, here's the thing. It wasn't really about getting back my $50. It wasn't worth driving an hour. It was about feeling like I had been duped and mislead. What they should have done when I asked if upon entry if they could perform Medical Patient Transactions was to let me know that they could add they 15% discount, but since they where not a licensed Medical Dispensary, they would have to apply recreational taxes to my purchase. But they didn't. Im sure I'm not the first medical patient to show up there so they should have been aware of how to inform medical patients about the details. And the Store Manager (Bossman) didn't even have the courtesy or the courage to discuss this with me in person. If he had done so and offered some sort of solution, even if it was a small empathetic token of understanding, the discrepancy would have been erased. Perhaps if he had offered a $5 tee shirt (his cost) with the Rise logo on it that would have given him free advertising of the Rise Brand? That would have settled things. And it would be a "win, win". But nope. He decided to do NOTHING. And in doing so, he lost a long term customer and I will be looking for a new dispensary brand to do business with. If I was an executive at Rise and I found a store manager who did that, I would find another "Bossman". read more

Stopped in as an out of town visitor and had a great experience! We prefer to look online ahead of time to decide what we want, but still shop in store in case there's something we missed. The product selection was varied and met our expectations. The prices are...well it's Illinois so the prices are what they are, plus the taxes. Not the dispensary's fault! I've finished up one of the products I purchased on our last visit (transdermal CBD/THC lotion) and I will definitely pick it up on our next trip. read more

Pre-rolls are SUPER small and so are the vapes. You don't get to see what you buy in person. Not a fan of that. Everything costs more here than Cali for what you get. read more

had a great time customer experience was perfect, the bud tender that helped me out was Misha and they made me feel at home at this dispensary. read more

Over priced, sub standard products, the regular bud tenders are superior. Drove passed today and the budtenders are on strike. Sad. Until they're back to work, I'm going to Enlightened in Mount Prospect. I'm a Teamster and so are the Rise budtenders. Teamsters do not cross strike lines! read more

Wow, to be back in Illinois where cannabis is now legal was wild for this child of the 60's and 70's. Clean and sterile, I felt like I'd entered a sci-fi set. Employees were friendly, professional, not condescending and knowledgeable, impressive especially with the VAST SELECTIONS being offered. A bit surreal but smooth operation and steady customers during my visit. Good for you Illinois! In Florida you cant even say GAY. ‍ read more

Jōōs Cheese and Chong is listed as hybrid on their in-store order kiosks, but is labeled as Sativa on the actual product - heads up. Expensive prices, but I think that's an Illinois thing. Really nice employees. Not the best keep of accurate data on their products. Which, ya know. Can be a big issue when dealing with state alterers... No first-time discounts. Huge interior with a lot of different choices of things. Lots of parking. **They do make you slip down your mask to show your face when you walk in** read more

just want to say thanks to Chris and Mia. Very nice people and made my shopping easy. thanks guys

Word up. Weed is legal in illinois, bout damn time. Visited today, service was tight, swift and professional. I wanted to add a pre roll to the order but they were out after a busy weekend. The gummies hit. I'm stoned as shit. I'm done with my bit. read more

RISE Dispensaries - Niles - Don't worry about it. - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Ok let's start with the people. The people were nice, engaging and friendly. But that's it. The product itself is weak. I'm not bashing the establishment.. just the product. There's a lot of false advertisement on their products. On April 15th, 2021, I brought "Shine & Select Grind Indica THC shake" from them. On their in-store kiosk it suggested this product had and I quote, "31.92% THC" sounds like strong weed right? FALSE! In actuality the product only had "0.88% THC" which is a huge difference from the original 31.92% I saw. Stick with me here... So I went in to discuss the poor product and the representative explained to me the original "31.92%" was actually composed of "30.57%" THCA which is the "precursor" to THC............. like what?! Why suggest your product has 31% "THC" when in reality it's only has .88% of actual THC. I am very DISPLEASED, and DISSATISFIED with Rise. My first visit has become my last. read more

From the moment we walked in everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I haven't visited many dispensaries but this was such a nice visit I probably won't go elsewhere. They also have a senior discount and a rewards program. read more

Great place but be careful what type of debit or credit card you use! I used my chase debit card here to buy my goodies and my bank decided to end relations with me because of the type of purchase i did. And now i cant get access to to my my account and it was my 3rd time buying here with my debit card. You guys are better off paying cash. Dont do what i did because now i have to wait 30-90 days to get my money from the bank read more

This is like the Apple Store but for marijuana. The staff is always nice and helpful. Service is top notch and fast. Always a pleasure.

Had an interesting 2nd visit to Rise in Niles and am in love (again) with the flower I was able to purchase. My first visit was so great because I did not have to wait to enter the store, I placed my order immediately, and picked it up all within 25 minutes. Not this time. In the order area I was approached by 2 different young men who refused to let me just look at the menu on the tablets. After telling them that I needed no help, one of the guys hijacked my tablet and began scrolling through edibles when I was just quietly trying to place my order while the other guy stood behind us literally yelling out random responses to the other staff member. These guys do not understand social cues. I could tell the intentions were to help but it felt very invasive, if I took a small step away, he would take a larger step towards me.....more empty rambling...maybe he was on something? It was a very awkward experience telling someone you don't need help then they just don't leave you alone. He even walked with me to the line to pick up my order. I ended up with various things in my order that I did not want and my girl Natalie (soo sweet) helped me sift through what I wanted vs. what was ordered for me by the overzealous bud-tender on the tablet. She let me know about some flower that was not on the menu and it did not disappoint, thank you Natalie for the Orange Afghani & give those young buds some awareness training!! read more

efficient service at its best. fyi- they do not accept tap to pay. bring your credit card or cash is better

From cali , had low expectations.. I was surprised, nice guys ! Cool place highly recommend.

randy here. ask for Preston in Niles. this guy knows his stuff. I'm someone who suffers from chronic pain and a sleep disorder, and while I respect the recreational users, I'm not here for a buzz and this guy was able to guide and explain the latest in tech, quality, pricing, and anything else you may want to know. highly recommend read more

Let me begin by saying that I haven't smoked a doobie in over 30 years. And the last time I actually made a purchase, reefer was $35 an ounce. Yeah, I'm an old fart. So I thought I'd join the 21st century by buying my son a legally smokable birthday present. Now, don't go pointing fingers and saying I'm corrupting his youthful morals. He's 46 years old and his morals were corrupted a long time ago. Probably by some chick named Ruby with a college boy fetish. Being a Boomer and a veteran it is against my nature and training to do things willy-nilly. Therefore, I commenced research. Where to buy this formerly illegal substance? Yelp to the rescue! Looks like 3 places within a short distance. Hmmm.. 2 of them received only 3 stars and some very negative reports of poor service and product. The other one looks promising but it's only for medical patients. I'm old, but I ain't sick, so that's out. This one, Rise, in Niles has 4 stars and some decent reviews. I'll give it a try. Navigated to the website and browsed the offerings. Found something that looked interesting and printed the page. Off to the establishment I go. Right on the Northeast corner of Milwaukee and Golf you can't miss it. And plenty of parking. Entered the front door and an employee checked my ID and directed me to the service area where I was promptly greeted by a lovely young lady with a pretty smile. I showed her the product I had printed and mentioned my veteran status. She tapped a few spots on the computer screen, asked my name and sent me on my way to pay and pick up my order. Another gentleman rang it up and handed me my package and I was out the door in no more than 10 minutes total. Much more comfortable than copping a nickel bag back in The Bronx. I'm giving Rise a solid 5 stars without using the product myself because I figure marijuana is pretty much like sex...The worst I ever had was wonderful. read more

Honestly the best experience I've ever had at a dispensary! It's so cute on the inside and the experience is always fast, easy, and problem free. The online ordering process is nice along with the rewards program, and I love the option to be texted with updates.

Nice place, check-out was pleasant, product was good but the guy who helped us was a condescending know-it-all.
