Get the Chicago Mix (caramel & cheese)! Salty, sweet, DELICIOUS. Worth the (usually) short wait in line. No preservatives, so you'll need to eat in within a week or so, but that's never a problem for us. Best. Snack. Ever.

We were surprised by the line for Garrett's popcorn at Navy Pier. We have had it twice before and although it was good – I don't think that is worth standing in line for a ½ hr and pay 2 to 3 times more then movie theater popcorn

As we were crossing the street headed to Garret's, a local lady heard me say that we had to try the popcorn, its supposed to be pretty good. She told me "Don't go in there". I said "Excuse me?" She said " I dare you to go in there, try a sample, and not come out with at least 4... More

There is nothing in the city of Chicago that even comes close to comparing to the popcorn at Garretts. It's a must stop everytime we visit the city! The long lines move quickly and are worth any time waiting! BEST EVER!

We had a five hour layover in Chicago before departing for Rome and our flight attendant suggested that if we wanted to try a one of a kind Chicago treat; stop by Garrett's Popcorn and get the cheese and carmel popcorn. It sounded like a interesting combination; and this flight attendant is certainly the foodie. He certainly has a second... More

I read about Garrett's but I didn't expect to become addicted to the Chicago Mix. I wish I had a bag now! While walking in the theatre district the aroma brought me in. I found a coupon for a free sample in a guide book at my hotel. I love salty sweet combinations and the cheese & caramel corn mixed... More

I am a popcorn lover and was anxious to taste Garrett's Popcorn. There were a lot of combos to choose from and large cups for samples. I sampled the Carmel almond, and really should have purchased it. Instead, I bought the plain caramel, and another bag of regular and cheese mix. Plus: warm, fresh popcorn is a sure winner, and...

This is the best popcorn ever, you can't go to Chicago without trying it!!! I can't go downtown and resist the smell, it gets me every time. And of course, the cheese is the best, the caramel is the sweetest but the best of both worlds is Chicago Mix!!!! YUMMMMMMMMY!!!

Can't imagine a trip to Chicago without getting a bag of Garrett's carmel corn. We thought we were going to have to "pass" on the experience this trip, due to the continually long lines every hour of every day. Got lucky late one afternoon and hopped into a much shorter line. The line does move very quickly. They seem to... More

Bring your appetite!! We stopped at the one at the Navy Pier and got the Chicago mix (butter/cheese and carmel) and oh boy. It was so good. We even brought some home in a tin jar to give to family for watching our pets. It stayed fresh and they loved it as well. Bring your appetite!!
