    I had a big bag of Cheese and Carmel Popcorn, and it was so delicious! This bag was about $10 dollars, which was a great price for this portion size. There was a line outside the door with people waiting to get in to purchase this yummy goodness. I will definitely be visiting this popcorn shop again. It tasted better than Garretts Popcorn in my opinion.

    Carmel & Cheese Mix
    Stacy K.

    I originally thought they were more affordable than garretts but they are not if you're getting caramel mixed with cheese popcorn. For some reason if you get a cheese popcorn it's bigger vs Cheese and Caramel. I didn't realize this until my last visit, I felt cheated because I feel like I could have spent the same amount of money at garretts and I would have had more popcorn. I spent almost $8 on a bag of popcorn that didn't last me long at all. It was very disappointing when I finally realized this. Usually when I spend less than that at garrets I have my popcorn for a few days. I'm sad just thinking about it. Because you know I could still be eating it right now! The popcorn was good, it taste fresh and the caramel seems very sweet to me. I say this because the other reviewers say this isn't as sweet as garretts but to me after my last visit, it seems sweeter. The service is ok, the people that work there are nice. They have other items you can buy other than popcorn like ice cream bars and cake. They also have a lot of other popcorn flavors. They are located on 118th and western, right next to family dollar. The parking is scarce. They have like maybe 5 parking spaces but I guess you could park across in the family dollar parking lot but not everyone wants to do that. I am a great example of someone who wouldn't want to do that. Lol I definitely recommend you try this place if you've never been. I use to think garretts was the authority for popcorn in Chicago but places like this are popping up giving them a run for their money. One more thing .. there is a new bag tax in chicago so if you need a bag to put your popcorn in, expect to pay .07 per bag.

     a variety of snacks

    The owners and staff here are friendly and loved showing us around all their snacks. They let us try a lot of different things so we could see what we wanted. Everything tasted like it was made with care and attention. They have a unique variety of flavors and desserts. A great southside Chicago staple.

    This popcorn is just flat out delicious fresh big kernels great flavor makes other Chicago favorite popcorn places you know who I'm talking about (gar..ts) taste like grease lol. Also no busting the bank I get a $7 dollar bag of cheese an Carmel takes days to eat

    Cheezy Caramel Pretzels and Cheezy Caramel Popcorn
    Britney B.

    I know that everyone drools over Garrett's Popcorn, but I honestly think that their cheese and caramel mix doesn't taste any better than Mariano's. Gasp! When rating this place, I will say that I am a biased Southsider, and have been coming here since I was a small child. Their cheese can be considered a bit oily, but where else can you find cheezy caramel pretzels!? That's right, nowhere! The pretzels are covered in caramel that is hard, sweet + salty, and then doused in a subtle cheese. It is something that romantic fairytales and love handles are made of. I also ignore how unnaturally vibrant the cheese is... I ask no questions. The cheezy caramel popcorn is great as well. You always get the perfect amount of cheese and caramel in every bite, since they are combined and not a mix. The pretzels though... just try it!

    Best popcorn in the world! Of this I have NO DOUBT!

    See all

    It was good, but not all it was hyped up to be. The service was 10/10, but I still prefer the competitor more.

    Best popcorn ever. Best service. So many different flavor options. Definitely worth a stop - and you will likely be going back for more.
