I bought popcorn and a water. Once I opened the water was frozen. I had grabbed it from their refrigerator. I went back to tell them and they said, once you open we can't do anything about it. Not even giving me a second look. So as thirsty as I was, I had to just take my frozen block of water. read more

THE best popcorn I've ever had. Garrett's is a Chicago staple snack food. I have been coming here since I was a kid. This location is inside Midway Airport near the Gate B area. The buttery aroma and sweet smell of caramel gets me every time. I've ordered the same item...Large Chicago Mix, cheddar and caramel together. The team knows how to scoops a perfect mixture. So good. Garrett's now ships popcorn across country but nothing is like getting it fresh out the kettle. If you are from out of town flying in to Chicago, make sure to put Garrets on the list read more

Garrett Popcorn Shops - The Chicago Mix: Cheddar Cheese & Caramel Crisp - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

***Late post from my Oct 2023 East Coast trip*** After getting my food from Big City Chicken at Chicago Midway International Airport - MDW, I started walking to my gate to eat my food and wait for my flight. On my way, I noticed Garrett Popcorn Shop. What a cute shop! I've never heard of them in the past. Perhaps they are only based out of Chicago. Anyway, there weren't many people in line at the time so perfect for me. However, after I left, tons of people got in line. I must have attracting energy to bring in customers (j/k). I'm sure Garrett Popcorn has made a name for themselves to attract customers on their own. I bought 4 large bags of the Garrett Mix (most popular) at $8.99 per bag. This mix basically is a combination of their cheese corn and caramel crisp popcorn. WOW... YUMMY gourmet popcorn! They are addicting. They also have other flavors such as buttery, pecan caramel crisp, and walnut caramel crisp. I wish I had asked for samples of the other flavors. It just means I have to come back here in the future LOL. They have small, medium, jumbo, and tin sizes, too. I just googled them... we can order their popcorn online... nice! I may have to get some for the new year. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Prices are very reasonable. As for location, I understand Garrett Popcorn is a Chicago tradition, but please come on over to So Cal... we love to have you! Thank you for sharing your famous gourmet popcorn with the world!!! P.S. I will post photos later. Thanks for your patience. read more

I was so sad to not visit Garrett's Popcorn when it was right across from our hotel. Fortunately, we had extra time at the airport and I was able to snag a bag of mixed popcorn! Oooo my heart was so happy! I got the Garrett mix which was caramel and cheese popcorn. I loved the cheese more and my boyfriend loved the caramel more which worked out perfectly. It was so good, I wish they had some branches in Cali! read more

You can't do wrong with Garrett's popcorn. Specifically, the Chicago mix! Even scooping from the bottom of the container, all of my popcorn was fresh and yummy. The staff were okay, and all of the stars went to the popcorn. The staff did not want to be there and were not very nice. When you asked a question, they acted like like we were stupid for not already knowing the answer. read more

Admittedly, I am not a huge popcorn fan. But on my visit to Chicago, I had to give Garrett's a try and I am converted! Okay, maybe not all the way, but I'll always be down to get some Garrett moving forward. I think this location in terminal B is a great location. It's one last chance for visitors to Chicago to buy this popular Chicago snack before they board their flight back to their original destination. I highly recommend the Garrett Mix which consists of a mixture of cheddar and caramel flavor. Personally, I love the caramel flavor more but the cheddar is also pretty solid. I appreciate that they double bag it up for you so the popcorn will stay fresh longer! Got a large back for about $10 which is a pretty good deal imo. read more

My friends and I shared the medium bag of pecan caramel crisp popcorn. It was pretty good and definitely on the very sweet side. A lot of the pieces clumped up together. I liked the whole pecans in there. Pretty good popcorn but wasn't too special. Could definitely get something similar at local farmers' markets. read more

Have to get this popcorn when in Chicago, even if it just the airport. It smells so good! I would say the cheese corn is not good after a couple days. The caramel corn probably holds up a little better. It's best fresh! read more

I love Garrett's popcorn but this location only gets a 3/5. Yes the service sucks. I asked if they can substitute the plain caramel with the pecan caramel in a mixed bag. I would have paid the difference. They said the pecan caramel has to be in its own bag. When I decided on a mixed bag, they forgot to add butter to the mix so I only got cheddar and plain caramel. 5/5 for the food. Service is like a 1/5. Staff needs to be re-trained ASAP on good customer service. read more

Typical Garrett popcorn.. Always a treat to get a medium bag of Caramel cashew. My wife loves the blend mix (cheese/caramel). Prices are on the high side, but it's actually worth it. But it depends on how much your into popcorn. read more

If you have a sweet-tooth then I highly recommend that you wear blinders, while traipsing through the Chicago Midway airport. I passed the first location, but I couldn't pass up the second one. It's all premium popcorn, so pay extra for the pecan crunch (EPIC). I was a bit sheepish while standing in line, as if I was being cleared by border security. I hid the evidence in my roller bag, found a sparsely populated area, and proceeded to crunch away. A clumsy moment resulted in a few precious pieces hitting the ground. I restrained myself. This place is like the beignet place in the New Orleans airport. It preys on unsuspecting, weak-willed, sugar addicts like.....people I know. Good stuff!! read more

I'm trying to understand how they became famous or how they are a favorite cuz that's not what I experienced. The popcorn stand is across from B1 Gate. Flavors aren't extensive. Just 3. Not good selections especially if you have a nut allergy. I was hungry but didn't wanna walk to the other concourses. If you're from MARYIAND, Fischers Popcorn is by far the best. I was disappointed and I'm glad I got the smaller bag for like $6. The Nuts on Clark is better, they even passed out samples. Service: is meh. The staff aren't very welcoming or friendly. Would I come back? NO. If you're at the airport go to Nuts on Clark. read more

I was having second thoughts after the last bag I brought at O'hare didnt taste good. I ended up taking a chance a got a bag at Midway. Man that's the cheese popcorn taste I remember. I ended up going back before my flight left and purchased another bag for my Monday night class.

With a layover at MDW I was really hoping for some popcorn! I was bummed when I read the hours show open at 10am I happened to see a woman walking by with a bag and walked over only to see they were open! The employee confirmed they open at 6am daily and the hours weren't updated. The joy of fresh popcorn! A small bag of the garret mix or cheese corn is $5.49 and then $7.49 for medium. They pack the bags nicely for travel. If you want a plastic carry bag it's an extra $1.50 now! Look for Garret's just opposite gate B2 in concourse B. The staff was friendly! read more

In Maryland we have Fisher's Popcorn, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away by a popcorn shop but Garrett's is definitely better. We tried the butter, cheddar, and pecan caramel crunch, wow! They were all delicious but the pecan caramel crunch is incredible. I would definitely recommend stopping if you see one of these popcorn shops. read more

We had a layover at the Midway Airport. 1st time I tried it. I'm a vegan so was extremely happy that thier butter popcorn is vegan. Excellent! read more

A great addition to Midway airport. Located directly across from gate B1. Today I was excited to grab a bag of mix to bring home with my after a weekend trip to Chicago. Line moved fast thanks to quick & efficient staff. Popcorn tasted exactly like I remembered it.... Delicious! Thank you Garrett's popcorn staff for my favorite Chicago treat. read more

If you are in Chicago, you have to grab Garrett's! I was excited to see the airport location and grabbed a jumbo bag fo the Garrett Mix. The service was great allnof the staff was friendly and attentive. I was shocked that the jumbo bag was only $16 in the airport. read more

Tonight I got stuck at Chicago airport and when I got here it was 9:30 so everything was closed but as I was walking I saw that the ladies at Garrett's Popcorn wasn't quite closed yet, one young girl was cleaning while the other girl was finishing up with a customer. I came in and begged her to let me buy a bag and I told her I was stuck all night at the airport. She felt sorry for me and sold me a bag. I know she didn't have to but she did. I don't have her name but I wanted to recognize both girls. They are companionate and kind. I didn't get to eat lunch and nothing was open for dinner so this is what I have. There was another store that was closing up but she could have cared less. These girls don't know how appreciative I was. I wanted them to know they made a difference . Thank you from the bottom of my heart...#Garrettpopcornbest#wonderfulemployees# read more

Garrett Popcorn Shops - Garrett Poocorn - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This popcorn is THE CHAMPION POPCORN OF ALL. If there was a playoff style bracket, Garrett would come out on top. My personal favorite is the cheese popcorn but the secretly vegan buttery popcorn is a great runner up! The pecan caramel corn is crunchy and decadent! read more

Over-rated! Cheddar popcorn was stale. The lady taking orders and filling the bags had a bit of an attitude. She tries to be efficient and takes the order of the next person in line while she scoops popcorn for the current customer. She ending up screwing up my order and the order of the customer ahead of me. The customer in front of me had ordered 2 small bags of popcorn but was given 2 large bags. The lady who took my order shouted, "small mixed" to the lady ringing me up. I ordered a large bag . My goodness, if you can't multitask then what's the point of rushing people with their orders. Pure incompetence! read more

When my flight attendant found out it was my first trip to Chicago, he told me I had to stop at a Garrett popcorn shop. He said there's one in the city that constantly has long lines, but they had recently opened one up in the airport. I had a lot of time to kill on my flight back so I hopped in line at the shop. The line tends to be variable: at one point it was really long and when I walked back again, it was very short. The signature flavor is a caramel and cheese, that they insist tastes better than it sounds. I'm sure that's true, but I decided to go with the caramel and cashew version. I've always liked caramel corn, but I wasn't sure if this version would be worth the price. It was definitely tastier and fresher than what I've had before, and the quality was great! Because it's a bit pricey, I wouldn't buy it all the time for a snack, but for an occasional treat, it was perfect! The family loved it when I brought it home, and now I've been craving it for weeks! read more

Every time I visit Chicago I got to get my popcorn! Now I can't lie I wasn't always a fan of Garrett's until I tried the nut mix. It's soooo good. Love it. Line is always long but moves pretty quickly. They also give samples! read more

Incredibly disappointed by Garretts. Ordered a gift tin online and received a confirmation email. Never received an email that my order was shipped nor delivered and when I found out it had been delivered a few days before but was not there, they basically told me "sorry, we don't care" and that I should have purchased the theft protection. No accountability on their end for not notifying me that it was on the way or delivered. I tried to get in touch with their customer service and the woman was both rude and un-empathetic. I'm bummed since I've been ordering Garrett's my whole life but I won't be anymore after this experience. Please know that they deliver your popcorn without notification and in the original tin so anyone can take it and enjoy it. Please review your company policy and update how you do business so others don't have to experience this as well. read more

Garrett's is okay, it is overrated. Buccees (TX thing) popcorn is better! I will try it again the next time I'm in Chicago.

I do this EVERYONE in this terminal had a bag of popcorn..... and I see why. Quick service, reasonable pricing, friendly staff. An overall pleasant experience. read more

Nuts on Clark beat's Garrett! Best popcorn, bigger pieces and hands down better flavor. Nuts on Clark is the place to go, not Garretts

Always excellent! We grab Garett's any chance we get. Glad we had the chance to pick some up.
