My kids and I were greeted as we entered the empty store. We weren't offered samples or the popcorn making show. We brought 3 bags of popcorn: white cheddar, dill pickle and the cheddar/caramel mix. Every. Single. Bag. WAS STALE!!! Dill pickle flavor was extra salty and lacked an actual pickle flavor. Obviously it wasn't a fluke on the stale-ness since all 3 bags were stale. There was no sale by or packaged date on the bags so I honestly can't say how fresh the popcorn was supposed to be. They also don't have a public restroom....even if your toddler is requesting a "potty".

I picked up the taco, cheese/caramel mix and birthday cake. The cheese/caramel mix was my favorite! Great flavors together. I did not enjoy the taco flavor as it seemed stale. Birthday cake was ok - I'm never satisfied with that flavor on popcorn for some reason. This would be a good place to get gifts and I believe they let you tour other parts of the shop normally, but that was closed due to the pandemic.

In the central part of Columbus, I found this shop on the northwest corner of 25th and Home Ave…read more Tasty varieties of coated popcorn can be purchased in several sizes of sealed bags as well as a few of the more popular types which can be bagged from the counter. I recommend entering the parking area on the back of the building off Home Ave for convenience. I missed it and had to use the neighboring businesses lot along 25th to do a quick run in. Inside, there are several display racks, each featuring three types of popcorn in the various sizes. I also noticed that they do party arrangements. I was greeted and the employee shared some information about their ingredients origination (all central Indiana) and about their programs. I picked up three kinds and they were delicious. I liked that there was room to move around the shop without feeling crowded. However, I didn't see as many flavor options as some of the other popcorn shops in central Indiana, particularly their closest competitor in Edinburgh's "Not Just Popcorn" (located in downtown Edinburgh, not the outlet mall.) Still, the items I purchased were good and if you are in the area, they have a nice selection of many popular varieties. Review #3536

You know I am a big Garretts popcorn fan! Always will be. But this place is just about as close to…read morethem as you can get. And with Columbus being much closer then Chicago it works for me. Yes you can order online and yes you can pay shipping!! But Columbus is a nice neat town to take a day trip from Cincinnati. Prices are OUTSTANDING!! Very low for what you get. I would suggest to go online and order ahead them pick it up and immediately start eating it!! Really if you order online you can get anything you want. You yes can go and just pick up but since this is such a popular place many ore sold out. So yes go and or order online. You will enyoy.

I was writing about the company for a WTHR blog post and couldn't help but buy a ton of popcorn flavors. For research, right?! I ordered the dairy free cheddar, simply salted, white cheddar, Buffalo cheddar, and buttermilk ranch popcorn for delivery. I LOVE that they offer "snack size" bags of popcorn for only $3.50. Because I was new to the popcorn, I was able to order a ton of the flavors to find my favorites. I also thought it'd be a super fun Christmas or NYE activity to do popcorn taste testing or a popcorn/beer pairing at home. They also offer large, party time (1 gallon), and 4 gallon bags for those who are ready to commit a few flavors. Besides the flavors mentioned, there are sweet and seasonal flavors as well. Enjoy!

I did see them making some caramel corn out front, and I think it would have been a better experience if the gentlemen would stay x more minutes till this batch is done if you want some fresh popcorn.

Located on the north end of town, it has a small street presence and seems even smaller inside. When you do step in, they have bags of flavored popcorn (double dipped) and popcorn puffs (no hard kernels or husks) coated with caramel. I didn't ask if they have any samples to try, but simply decided to go with the Caramel Delites. Unlike some caramel treats, these have caramel flavor but not the sticky texture. The puffs are larger than most popcorn too. Note that the popcorn is also popped and coated in the small area behind the counter. (Talk about efficient!) They may not have as many flavors as some of the other popcorn places I've been to, but they do have a menu of other items you can get including beverages and hot dogs. Review #1629

The Popcorn Station continues to be a local spot I visit but it's definitely lost the number one…read morespace I held for it. It continues to bring a huge variety of flavors from sweet to savory and some spicy. You have a choice of portions, including large popcorn tubs. Saying that, I have been disappointed in my snacks and tossed much of the popcorn during my last few visits. The first issue - the popcorn seems broken up, making it feel like I'm getting the bottom of the barrel rather than a fresher portion. The bigger disappointment was my bag of Chicago mix (cheddar and caramel) seemed different. Instead of two separate flavors in the same bag each piece was caramel but shaken up in cheddar flavor. Not the same result. Service is helpful and quick. The shop is easy to get in and out of for a drive by and full of containers in addition to the popcorn counter. Good to support local if you're in the area.

The flavors they have are butter (which they said they use real butter) cheddar (again they said real cheese) Oreo (real pieces of Oreo) caramel and cheddar mix, birthday cake, caramel apple, ghost pepper and also kettle corn.

Hoosier Popcorn has capitalized on the kernel hysteria with their simple yet oh so addictive popcorn. I met the gents at Yelp's Slumber Party at Prairie Guest House, where they made it fresh on the stovetop - my first time eating non-microwaved popcorn. It was so good I ate two servings. Not ashamed. The difference was the sunflower oil topped with sea salt. That's it. No weird flavors, no butter, nothing. You can easily recreate this at home with their ultimate stovetop kit, which includes kernels, oil, and sea salt. Fun fact: sunflower oil is what's used in Skinny Pop, the #1 selling popcorn on the market. Hoosier Popcorn is rather new to the scene, but you can find them at Indy Eleven games and all around the state, from Terre Haute to Lafayette to Richmond and, of course, Indy (Pogue's Run, Goose the Market, Wildwood).
