I love me some Garrett's!!! It's nostalgia for me from trips to Chicago growing up! It was always one of my must have food items so of course whenever I'm in Chicago and have time, I have to stop and grab a bag! It's to the point where when I travel through ORD my mom calls and reminds me! I always get the Chicago mix...cheese with caramel. This time, my sister told me to grab the seasonal cocoa mix since she had recently grabbed a bag and said it was amazing! I agree, their classic caramel with a cocoa covered popcorn mixed? What a treat! The location near H2 also had a fun vibe with Doja Cat blasting, colorfully lit signs, and friendly staff churning out scoops of popcorn! read more

Luckily had just enough time during my layover to pop over to Garrett enroute to my gate. I was soo ready for the almond caramel popcorn, but they were out unfortunately. However, they had my 2nd favorite --cashew caramel, so I opted for that in the cute petite pink tin. And it was just as good as I remember. I will be back on my way out to try again for the almond! read more

In the Chicago O'Hare airport, you can't go wrong with Garrett Popcorn. It's a local product and it hits the spot, plus it's one of the less expensive snacking options. Since popcorn is simple, the lines aren't super long and move quickly. My husband typically gets the Chicago mix, but for this trip, we got the caramel and it was delicious. For caramel popcorn, it is rich and sweet, so keep that in mind. Still, it's better than any little snacks you'll get on your plane. read more

A friend kindly brought me a bag of Garrett's popcorn from the Hyde Park store. I am a lover of popcorn and was excited to get a bag, popped that morning, from Garrett's. When I dug in - I immediately understood their slogan "Like No Other". It was indeed like no other popcorn I'd ever had. It was dry, unsalted, tough and tasteless. My first reaction was - this must be air popped and I was right. We threw it out. Perhaps the flavored popcorn is what people like. D.A. read more

Really good snack. I got a small cheese corn and a small buttery corn. Only ate a little of each since I'm taking the rest home to the fam but they were both very good! It was fresh and tasty! The staff was friendly and smiling even though it was very early (before 7am!). Coat wasn't too bad at $13 for both bags of popcorn. Comparable to the prepackaged snacks at the airport but this was fresh and much better quality. Worth the cost for such a delicious treat. read more

If you want caramel popcorn, this is the place to go to! Unlike Nuts on Clark in Concourse C, these guys are pretty decent and put your order together quickly. The taste of their CaramelCrisp is also much better than Nuts on Clark as it has a heavier coating and much better caramel taste. Prices are reasonable. read more

When one finds oneself during a layover at O'Hare, there are four pro moves, in my opinion, that help the hours go by. Assuming you are not in a private lounge. These tips are not for you. Go back to enjoying being elite while the rest of us have to get creative ;) Tip number one. Go for a long walk. O'Hare is a massive labyrinthine airport. I had a 5 hour layover. Spend as much time walking and exploring. It's essential for your mental and physical stamina. Tip number two. Do you see all the flight crew members toting around striped Garrett Popcorn bags? They suffer no fools. Find a Garrett Popcorn stand and ask to sample their wares. Buy the biggest sized bag - trust me. The Chicago mix (caramel and cheddar cheese) still tasted good a week later. High marks for the sea salt as well. Be the envy of your seat mates on the next leg of your flight, plus it makes a terrific gift. Tip number three: Find the open air rotunda. Go up the stairs. There you will find a quiet and peaceful lounge, with an array of seating options, desks, and outlets and blessedly, not many people. You will also discover a yoga studio. I spent 20 minutes doing sun salutations all by myself. Get yourself rebalanced again. Tip number four. This brings me to Tortas Frontera. Absolutely delicious options, but most especially, the tacos. Don't forget copious amounts of hand sanitizer, because you'll be licking your fingers. They also serve margaritas in to-go cups. Now, those are $17 bucks a pop, but at least they were generous with the tequila. Order a second to take with you on your plane. When the gate agent asks if there is alcohol, politely smile and say "No, ma'am". Happy travels! read more

Popcorn Lords, Thanks for having a Garrett in multiple terminals and especially Terminal 3 today that somehow had no line when I ran by. You were delicious as usual and I will be back for more someday. Got your buttery popcorn, and the special edition hot cocoa mix. The ladies manning the stall were very kind especially the lady with the colorful hair, who graciously allowed me to try their cheddar popcorn too. Much love, This Yelp Foodie read more

I've been to Chicago a handful of times now within the last few years, but have not gotten around to trying the famous Garrett popcorn. When I saw this on my way to my gate, I knew I had to snag a bag. I got the mix with caramel and cheese. It was the perfect snack on the plane! Some of it even made it home with me to LA. The mix of cheese and caramel is absolutely delicious. It's definitely a treat and something I'll be looking forward to going to Chicago moving forward! read more

Good presentation. The factory seal on the metal can was nice but for $17 for a small can, I'd rather not have a 2 foot long black hair inside. Very regular read more

IYKYK: And Chicagoans K. When traveling through O'Hare it is always acceptable to bring Garrett's Chicago Mix to friends and family. On this visit, we got a free bag when we purchased a bucket of Chicago Mix. Though I carried that bucket all through the DC airport and shuttle (and got made fun of by Washingtonians - what do they know? ) - it was all worth it in the end -- the recipient was very happy. The scent of fresh Garrett's in the air? It draws people from all over like moths to a flame. read more

If you love popcorn (as I do), it's hard to go wrong. This is mushroom type (the big round popped kernels, different from the kind you pop at home) with various flavorings. I went with the Garrett Mix -- caramel and cheese. Both are very heavily flavored, so you get a real wallop of sweet/cheesy with the blend. (They do offer plain buttered, maybe next time I'll get that so I can really taste the popcorn itself.) The women working there are all friendly and helpful. Unfortunately they don't accept tips -- I hope they are paid well, although I doubt it. One thing I didn't like is the amount of packaging: it comes in a sealed paper bag inside another paper bag inside a big plastic bag with handles. I guess that makes a nice package if you're giving it as a gift, but they advise you to eat it fresh. I'm guessing few bags make it home from the airport and flight. Which brings us to the next problem: what it does your hands! The caramel makes them sticky and the cheese dyes them orange. So make sure you can get to a bathroom to clean up soon after eating this. Even after washing with soap my hands are still kinda orange. Serious dye! read more

I am probably one of the more optimistic people that you'll ever met. A few Saturdays ago, I was boarded on a flight in Minneapolis-Saint Paul heading home to Toronto. I sat on the plane with a mom who was travelling with two young boys. She didn't handle stress well when we got constant updates that Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) wasn't accepting any flights in due to weather. This woman cursed in front of her boys like a sailor. Her kids were whining and yelling no between screams and cries. We sat there for three hours before we got the official word that our flight was cancelled. I was somewhat relieved that I didn't have to sit on this plane any longer. Within thirty minutes of our flight being cancelled, I got a text message from Air Canada. I had a new itinerary. Flying out on American Airlines at 5:45 am that required paying another baggage fee and going through a baggage fee refund with Air Canada? I didn't mind it. I was thankful. Flying into Chicago where you can potentially walk around Chicago O'Hare (ORD) until your are too weary to carry on? I'll take it. Huh? If you are a popcorn lover, you know that you are doing a layover at the best airport. I was thrilled to seek out the first Garrett Popcorn Shop that I saw. I did. My eye spied this one as I hit concourse H. There was only one customer there. It made me so happy seeing so much yummy popcorn. I headed over to take a look at all popcorn flavours. The hot chocolate caramel crisp mix looked so good. I love the caramel crisp so much and craved it that I had to get it. The two woman behind the counter were nice and efficient. One got my order, which was a large bag of caramel crisp. She worked on scooping it into a paper bag, placing the bag into its signature branded paper bag, and then handing it to the other woman who placed it in a bag with handles. It may seem excessive like next Russian dolls in paper bag form, but it was all for freshness. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I thanked the woman, took my popcorn, and continued heading over to concourse E. It seemed like a shorter walk over, mainly because having this popcorn in my possession energized me. While waiting for my flight to board, I had some popcorn. It was the best. It was the best reunion. This popcorn recipe didn't hold back on butter when making the amazing caramel that coated every popcorn morsel. The popcorn was crispy and delicious. I love when I get a bonus cheese straggler in my caramel crisp bag of popcorn. I felt like it was my lucky day and I needed to get a lottery ticket. Having my flight delayed made it possible to satisfy my Garrett popcorn fix. I was extremely grateful for being able to fly home on the next flight out through Chicago and grab my favourite popcorn in the process. (34) read more

I've had this popcorn that had been prepackaged and probably isn't as fresh as what I got today. I got a small that cost a little over $6. I thought it was a fair price. They have a couple of other flavors, but the traditional is a mix of cheddar and Carmel. Who knew these two flavors would pair so well. The biggest difference that I noticed from the bag that I got from the store and the one that I got today was that the cheddar was a little greasy. This was in a good way. Thank goodness the cashier added some napkins to the bag. If she hadn't done that, I'd have orange greasy pants. Definitely worth the try. read more

I'll start by saying the workers were friendly and the product is fine. I ordered a large bags of popcorn and specifically asked for the three caramel nut corns mixed only. I also ordered a small caramel cashew to snack on during my travel. The two nice workers put both orders in a bag and I never looked at the lager package until the next day when I got home. I discovered my request for caramel with nuts only was disregarded and there's cheese popcorn mixed in. Okay no worries Garrett will make it right... right? NOT SO MUCH!!! I entered my grievance on the website keeping it civil and professional and I received a response in very short order. Explaining. My concern hoping for an agreeable solutions the email interaction lead to a thanks but you are S.O.L. After I passed on a viable solution where I may have spent more money in an amicable resolution the re-responded with an offer giving me an option to buy a replacement. I shouldn't have to teach their customer service how to resolve issues that are mutually beneficial to both client and company. I travel very often and have passed Garrett popcorn stands all the time. My first try with this business and it was a good product but poor customer service. I won't recommend buying overpriced tourist snacks at the airport. read more

I am so sorry that I do not have any photos!!!! This popcorn is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!

A CHICAGO TRADITION 04/05/2024 Located in the Chicago O'Hare International Airport, resides this exceptional Chicago Tradition Gourmet Popcorn Establishment! My husband and I were referred to this place by our Uber driver in Chicago as he drove us to the airport. He shared with us some great places where one could eat while visiting the windy city. Well, I sure am glad that he informed us about this little gem where we could get some delicious flavored popcorn to accompany us on our flight back home to Houston. We decided to purchase the Garret Chicago Mix, which is a mixture of cheddar cheese and caramel, and was also recommended by our Uber driver. There were other flavors available like butter, buffalo, and ranch, which looked delicious as well. It was difficult walking away without being able to try all of the flavors, lol. However, I searched them on google and they have an entire website where you can order online. There are even more flavor options online and you can order large size tin cans of this stuff. Overall, hubby and I were content and comfortable on the flight back home to Houston as we snacked on our delicious mouthwatering popcorn while watching a movie. Hubby ended up falling asleep because it was so good to him, and said that "it hit the spot." Our fingers and lips were all greasy from indulging excessively and it made me think of the little slogan that's printed on the side of the shopping bag that our popcorn was placed in. It said, "Love is messy." I thought to myself, "Ohhh, that's what that means." So make sure you have plenty of napkins for your hands or you can just do what I did and lick your fingers because I swear it's mouthwatering and finger-licking good! Love really is messy, lol. While we were waiting to board our flight, I remember looking around and seeing other travelers with a Garret bag in their possession as well. My husband said, "this popcorn is addictive and very popular." I highly recommend anyone who loves delicious great tasting gourmet popcorn and you're traveling through Chicago O'Hare airport, to stop by and grab a bag for the flight. It'll comfort your soul and ease your mind. Customer service was great. The two ladies that were running the show were very friendly and welcoming, all smiles and professional. I gave this establishment five stars! read more

I am very passionate about my popcorn. And when you're in Chicago, you must enjoy THEE popcorn of Chicago! As a daughter of a movie-buff who lovesss popcorn (like, a bag a day habit lol) you get to love it too. So when I first tried a bag of Garrett's Chicago blend years ago, I fell in love with the combo. It's something about that caramel and cheddar cheese mix that hits every single time! Garrett's has the elite recipe because the popcorn always tastes so fresh with flavors out of this world, no matter the type you choose. My personal faves are the Chicago Mix and Buffalo Ranch, major must-trys! As I was flying out of Chicago, I stumbled upon the Garrett stand and had to grab some treats to bring back to ATL. There was a young gentleman behind the counter who was so patient as I stood looking crazy for several minutes as I figured out what size and flavor I wanted, lol. I'm sure he was thinking, "Lady, there's like 5 flavors, can you hurry up?" LOL But he was so patient and kind, I appreciated it! I ended going with a medium-sized bag of the Chicago mix and what a great choice as always. It's brilliant to have this stand at ORD as Garrett's is an iconic Chicago brand and with this location, you can be transported back to Chi town with each bite. Yum! read more

Theee best popcorn in Chi Town actually probably in the USA! I have been wanting to try out Garrett popcorn for years and I finally did on my 4th trip to Chi Town! This was in my terminal and conveniently located right near the first few gates ! It was super popular . There were lots of people in front of me and so many choices! Fun fact they use non GMO kernels, plus it's gourmet popcorn that is handcrafted Chicago Style! It's gluten free too!!! I wanted a bit of sweet with salty so I got the local fan favorite called the Garrett Mix: a blend of their famous CaramelCrisp and CheeseCorn recipes! OMG!!! So good! So delicious ! So fresh! I can't wait to get back to Garrett's ! Was truly delicious !! read more

Okay any self respecting true Chicagoan knows you can't visit the city without getting pizza or Garretts. I didn't get the pizza so I was determined not to leave without the popcorn. Luckily my beau also had that idea and the airports have locations to get that REAL cheese and caramel mix known as 'The Chicago Garrett Mix' to bring back to family and friends. Throw on the accent and the ladies are always friendly! The special flavor 'Spicy Cheese' was out (noooooooo) so couldn't try it but I am sure it was flavorful. Two mediums and a small bag run you about $25 dollars. A small price for something that is still in my house two weeks later. I mean it takes a week to get through a medium bag! And the orange cheezy hands and sticky sweet fingers make it all worth it. read more

when you come to Chicago and if you like popcorn Garrett's is definitely a stop. If you're not going to downtown or to Woodfield Mall, you definitely have to stop at Garrett at the airport. They have a shop at terminal one right in the B terminal, as well as terminal three right outside of the security line. their claims of fame is the Chicago mix which is a mix of caramel popcorn, and cheddar popcorn. This is no traditional popcorn, though, as carrots is famous for the deep taste of cheddar and caramel mixed together. For a limited time they have the Buffalo ranch flavor, as well as, the Chicago based Frango mint flavor read more

Right near the dinosaur! Don't let the almost always present long line scare you off, the popcorn pros behind the counter keep the line moving. Garrett's Mix (aka Chicago Mix, aka caramel corn mixed with cheese corn), is a top seller and a kid and parent fave. Mixes with nuts and chocolate are pretty awesome too, but ease into things. You can get tins or bags, but be sure to leave a little room in your carry ons to get something before your flight. read more

I have visited Garrett's from time to time when I have a Chicago layover. Today's experience was memorable, because it reminded me of the Soup Nazi Seinfeld episode. "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" Today's episode starred the Popcorn Nazi. "NO POPCORN FOR YOU!" There were 2 ladies at the stand today. It was Jekyll and Hyde. One was sweet and the other sour. Sheesh. Miss Hyde didn't want to answer any customers' questions. Grumpy to the max. Barked for the next customer to move up. Clearly, her intention was to be efficient as she was quite robotic with no personality. However, we are in the Midwest...a smile would be nice. Anyway, a 5 for the popcorn and X for Hyde. If you meet Hyde, just point, pay and be on your way! read more

I've been longing to visit Chicago, whether for a baseball game at Wrigley or to catch a game again at United Center. My last visit was in 1998 so a trip here is long overdue. I met up with a friend who works in SFO (San Francisco's airport for those not familiar) and he thoughtfully handed me a brown paper bag containing two transparent white bags (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nZmI3qcQMtnkfTI9ERbuVg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) for me to bring home. After settling next to the TV before prepping my dinner, I opened the cheese bag and started munching as I watched the news. Before you know it, 1/3rd of the bag was gone. A few days later, I started on the caramel one, again after coming home from work. I finished half of the bag before restraining myself before having dinner. At the end of the week, I started watching TV after dinner and lined both bags next to me. It was a race to see which vag I'd finish first. The caramel one, proving an unscientific point of which flavor was my favorite (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4XvNWgyYhpcxFrhofsTcMA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Thank you to my generous friend who gifted these treats to me. With the lack of popcorn places in SF (I believe the one on Kearny St. is closed now), it's been a while since I've had this variety and quality of gourmet popcorn. My trip to the Windy City is overdue. read more

Why haven't I rated this convenient location sooner?? I fly American often and this is very close to Starbucks. The line goes very quickly so there's really no excuse not to get some.

I also like to snack on a bag while in flight, which can create problems with Orange fingers. :) read more
