I don’t know how they get so much flavor into each piece of popcorn, but I appreciate it. I absolutely love this popcorn so anytime I can get to Chicago I purchase a bag or 3.
Garrett Popcorn is a must-try for any popcorn lover. The classic Chicago Mix, a delicious combination of cheese and caramel corn, is a fan favorite for good reason. The popcorn is always fresh, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. The shop's attention to quality and detail is evident in every bite. Plus, the staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent customer service. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for a tasty gift, Garrett Popcorn is a great choice. Highly recommended!
Went around 4pm on Saturday and waited in line for 15 minutes or so. The line moves faster than you’d expect. We got the Garrett mix with cheese and caramel and it was pretty good! The caramel was my favorite but mixing the sweet and savory was definitely good. If I came back and had to choose the flavor I’d definitely choose just the caramel but overall solid experience.
You haven't lived until you try Garrett's OG "Chicago Mix" (mix of caramel popcorn and cheese popcorn). Nothing compares to the fresh-made mix from Garrett. And don't try to buy the fu-fu stuff you see in bags at the airports and markets. Garrett is the one and only. Prepare to wait in line if you visit one of their downtown locations on a weekend.
First time visiting Garrett’s and I enjoyed the experience. They were busy but I was able to get in and out in about 30 mins. This is a busy location so, if you don’t have time time… don’t come.
The popcorn is delicious and the staff was nice and answered questions in a friendly manner. I will be back & highly recommend
A friend of mine recommended me to go to Garrett popcorn and order the special mix, even though the mix sounded a little crazy because of it spicy and sweet, of course, I said yes!
It was the best popcorn I have had in my life, with all the respect to everyone else that makes popcorn.
I just wish I could have more and more and more.
The service was wonderful and what I loved about the popcorn is that, believe it or not, my hands were not sticky, it didn’t stick on my teeth either, and it was so crispy.
After detecting the pleasant aroma, we found the fragrance too alluring, and warm popcorn on a frigidly cold day was too irresistible that we inevitably make the spontaneous decision to must come back here. I was so surprised watching the line of customers, which I believed consisted of at least more than 40 people, standing outside of the store on a Saturday afternoon. A very famous place in Chicago, I supposed. Thus, to avoid the busy time, we visited the store at around 7:30 p.m as there was not a single line and we were the only customers at that moment. For the popcorn, I would say it was the best my friends, and I have ever tried. There were various flavors: Cheese, Plain, Chocolate, Buttery, and Caramel w/ Pecans or Cashews or Almonds. The corn was crisp, of very high quality, and thick texture. I personally think the best flavor here, which was not too sweet but flavorful, was Caramel w/ Nuts. Just dulcet and delectable.
📍 Garrett Popcorn Shops, Chicago
Just recently got back from Chicago and of course all of us came home with at least a bag of popcorn from this place. It felt like most people we met at the airport did the same as well. This place has been serving gourmet popcorn since 1949. They actually have quite a few different options, including pecan caramelcrisp, on top of their signature Garrett mix (CaramelCrisp and CheeseCorn). I got a medium bag and it was enough to satisfy the family without it getting too much. The whole mix overall was quite sweet. I would say this place is a must visit if you are in Chicago.
The smell of fresh popcorn and carmel will seduce you from th street. This is a Chicago staple and a must taste. My fave is the Garret mix, Chicago mix, caramel and cheesy cheese. Second fav is the pecan crunch.
Do yourself a flavor or get a delicious gift for a friend and grab a bag of Garrett's popcorn!
There's nothing like a Chicago visit when you're able to get Garrett Popcorn! No matter which store, the smells are amazing, the staff are friendly, and the Chicago mix is the number one option for me!!!
