I'm hesitant to post this review for fear of everyone else catching on to one of Memphis's best kept secrets - - Pop a Roo's! I hate I can only give 5 stars because this place is, truly, a TEN out of TEN!!
LOCATION: The storefront for customers is located in Crosstown Concourse, which is a very popular new development in the heart of downtown Memphis.
PARKING: There are several options for parking based on how long you plan to be in the area. Since Pop a Roo's is, typically, my only stop, I can find parking near the door for free since I'll be in for less than 30 minutes. However, you can easily pay for parking using the QR Codes posted alongside the sidewalks or use the parking garage along the perimeter.
SERVICE: The owners knew exactly what they were doing when they hired these two ladies! The attendants are hospitable, chatty, and will give you a good laugh while prepping your order. They're kind enough to let you sample the product (which is a game changer since there's usually 10+ flavors on site), and will customize your container if you prefer 2 flavors mixed.
PRICE: This place is bang for your buck. The containers I posted are $5. However, if you frequent as much as I do, they have a $25 bag available, which is the equivalent to 6 containers.
AMBIANCE: This feels like an elevated experience simply because of the real estate. Crosstown Concourse is the closest thing to a development in Metro Nashville. It's a diverse offering of services. So, you can grab popcorn and walk down the hall to the nearby nail salon, jewelry store, or take the elevator to the modern art displays upstairs.
FLAVOR: As someone who's tried every flavor - - this popcorn is unlike anything I've ever tasted. I go back weekly craving Memphis Heat. It's the perfect mix of sweet and heat. However, there are sweet, zippy, and spicy flavors to satisfy any popcorn lover.
Please add this to your must try list for the Downtown Memphis area. If you don't have plans to be in the area soon - - make THIS your reason for the drive. It's worth it! read more
