    4th of July ready!

    I'll admit, after the COVID-19 Pandemic hit I was disappointed they weren't open. I waited and waited. I visited Poparazzi's Gourmet Popcorn since they were open and I was not impressed. The Popcorn Bar is back open and what I love the most is always entering the doors and smelling fresh popcorn. I visited Poparrazzi's twice and never smelled anything fresh, it was evident in the taste as well. The Popcorn Bar is definitely the best Popcorn I've had around Houston!

    My car was stinky for days! Must be real cheddar. 5/5 stars! Awesome service. Great ambiance.

    Delicious and fresh kettle corn

    I've been craving for kettle corn lately, I decided to give this place a try after driving by this store for years. I was very happy with the small bag of kettle corn I got, perfectly sweet and crunchy, and it tastes very fresh, hit the spot! Service was great, he washed his hands before bagging the popcorn, and carefully wrote "kettle corn" on the bag, which was very sweet. I'll be back whenever I crave for more.

    Love popcorn!!!! This is the place to go. They have every favor you can imagine. I been coming to The Popcorn Bar for now 3+ years and I'm finally reviewing it. They have tons of flavors, different sizes to serve anyone's need and let's not forget. I'm the last 3+ years that I have shopped here their customer service has been exceptional.

    Today I had my first experience at a popcorn shop since moving to the Houston area. The popcorn bar has a great selection of flavors to choose from ranging from savory to sweet. You have different sizes to choose from as well, with the prices ranging from around $3 to over $20. I chose a classic flavor, Chicago mix (caramel and cheese). It was so good and savory. I was helped by Lorenzo who was very nice and had some good recommendations. Can't wait to go back again, next time I'm going for the dill pickle!

    The Popcorn Bar has been a hit at two major events in my daughters life. Wedding and Baby shower. The quest who attended both events raved about how good the popcorn was. Thanks Popcorn Bar for making both events memorable.

    Belly-up to the ... counter and ask for a swig (s@mple). \_o_o_o_o_/ . . . sssssss s s s ..... pop! pop! (_) (@) (_ ) @) (..) ("") note: half-popped "a" kernels are in the review Amaizing (corny) Gift idea: Popcorn in a tin. Pick among a large number of fl@vors. Put the tin, the popcorn bag (small, medium, l@rge, huge), the p@dding/stuffing in the tin, perhaps with some accessories (like small individual size bags), in a cellophane bag, closed with a decor@tive ribbon, and voila! Gift! They let you try the flavors (but, I think they h@ve an egg timer to avoid giving away samples too quickly). The popcorn is fresh, evenly coated*, nice flavor (most are not too s@lty), and each piece is like a little ball. Not many broken fr@gments at the bottom of the bag, either. * For the bond to the popcorn, the powder is "shaken, not stirred." Of course, this comes @ a price. But it's a bit cheaper than theatre popcorn, and tastier. This is gre@t for a lazy home theatre host. I filled my husk with: @ The Southwest Jalapeno (the hottest one) ... medium for $11 @ Caramel Pecan (they are not too skimpy on the nuts) ... small for $8 ouch... but it's a gift The "bar" analogy is rather strange, as is the martini logo. You don't order and eat at the bar. Unlike a bar, here you take it to go (there are no chairs/stools, either). The day after: I had a pepper hangover (stomach did not feel right). It also seemed saltier than I originally thought. And the caramel that tasted so good as a sample, was not as good as Cr@cker J@ck or the Boy Scout Trailmix in a tin. On the whole, it is still a good and different gift idea. So, there may be a kernel of truth to the statement that they are ear to stay for awhile.

    Yummy yummy!!!!

    This place has a pretty good product, but the service is always lack-luster, if not rude.

    Lots of fun flavors of popcorn available in their store front, or you can order other flavors ahead…read more(minimum order required). I tried their Salted Caramel and Rainbow flavors. I was very surprised how fresh the popcorn was able to stay, even in this Houston humidity. Makes for great party favors, snacks, or pick me ups!

    A relocation in the same shopping center has not impacted the quality of popcorn offered at The…read morePopcorn Bag. This is still my go-to spot when a popcorn craving hits (or when my 2-gallon tin runs dry). I've reviewed their previous location and checked in there multiple times. I believe I've tried nearly every flavor they offer. My faves continue to be Dill Pickle and Buffalo Ranch. Southwest Jalapeno and Spicy Queso are also very good. I do tilt on the Savory (salty) side, so that should be understood. I've recently been turned on to one of their Specialty flavors, though: Black Tie. Think of it as a fresh version of Cracker Jack's on steroids (without all of the peanuts): caramel-coated popcorn drizzled with milk and white chocolate. To die for! Warning, though: it is expensive and if you eat too much (as I have done), you will get a massive belly ache. Years ago I bought the 2-gallon tin (I actually have two of them); it's a better buy in the long run if you go back for refills. Tins can be filled with one or multiple flavors (separated). Service is always very good. I'm deducting a star this time around, because for the first time in all the times I've been coming here over the years, I was unable to get credit for my purchase on my SpotOn rewards. The employee working could not get their tablet reader to turn on correctly; I was told that the next time I come in that I should tell the owner what happened and he'll credit me and bump up my rewards. He wasn't here today, so what's to insure he'll be there next time I come in? There's no getting around that some of this popcorn is not cheap (which is why I participate in the rewards program), so I was a bit perturbed when I left (although a handful of Black Tie did make me feel better).

    I buy popcorn once or twice a year for our teachers and students; Everyone love the popcorn. Thanks…read moreso much for being our neighboring popcorn shop. Malala Elementary

    I love a good family owned business and this one is such a charm!…read more I found out about this place via Groupon. Wasn't really looking for it--just found it interesting and decided to buy. I've seen Just Poppin popcorn in stores, but didnt think they were local. Nice to know when a product is locally created! However, I almost lost out on my good fortune because I waited a day before it was going to expire to use it. Took me a little time to find the place (see tips), but its so cozy inside--and the fresh popcorn makes up for it! A young man greeted me with a smile as I entered the establishment and asked how he could help me. Great to see young people working and knowing how to present customer service--with a smile! Since I had a Groupon, he had to get an adult from the back, but there was no issue with the redemption. I ordered the chocolate drizzle and did wait to have it made fresh, but when do you ever get fresh made popcorn??? With chocolate??? Yeah, so the wait is worth it. Small businesses need our support to thrive, so I'll enjoy my package of popcorn knowing that my purchase contributes to someone else keeping their dream alive. Stop by and have a taste if you're in the area!
