There's almost never pieces that'll break your teeth. It's popped very nicely. All of the flavors are really robust, even the "plain" ones like butter and cheese. They manage to get all the coating to stick onto every piece they put in the package, so you get a thick mouthful of flavor in each bite. They do not skimp on the flavor at all! Their cheese/caramel blend is to die for, it's so good! As is the snickerdoodle. The jalapeño cheese is also a very good savory option. It's not like crazy spicy, you just can very much taste the unique jalapeño flavor. Which is different from most things that are jalapeño flavored. It usually just means "spicy" but Uncle Bob's lets you taste the actual flavor. The pricing is fine for me. Not cheap, not expensive. The employees are nice and helpful. The shop is small but has everything you need. I will keep coming here for popcorn as long as they exist!

This was the first time I've had Maui Wowi, and I'm glad I had a chance to try them. They came and…read moredid a booth type setup up at my employers site. First Impressions: They had a little booth setup outside of our building. Felt nostalgic as I used to approach booths that sold anything from candy, cold self-serves, etc. Staff: The two gentlemen that were serving our drinks, were extremely nice and gracious. They even gave me a little bit of a history lesson of the company heh. Cleanliness: The booth was outside, so it was as clean as it gets in terms of presentation and how the appearance of the booth looked. No issues. Value: This was a work event type deal, but from my understanding and looking at their prices for their drinks, I'd say its a pretty fair deal considering the quality ingredients you are getting and not to mention it taste Fantastic :). Recommendations: If you are someone that likes cold frozen drinks whether that be fruit based or with a bit of alcohol (which I did not get), then you may find this place right up your ally. It sort of reminds me of eegee's when it comes to texture, but a lot more smoother as its a cold slush drink. Definitely worth a try even if your a first timer. The price and value is great.

Our neighborhood in Marana routinely has food trucks and other vendors around for us to try out…read more Last night was the first night that we had seen the Maui Wowi stand, so we decided to check it out. They offer a variety of fruit smoothies and coffee options. Me and my husband both opted for the blended cappuccino smoothie and they had a great flavor (tasted a lot like condensed milk). If we see them again, we're planning to try some of the blended fruit smoothies (you can also mix and match flavors). The only weird thing was the sizing and pricing (which they don't really have control over since it is a franchise business). There isn't really a noticeable difference in the sizes (like maybe the next size cup is like 1-2 ounces more), but you still get the upcharge for what you'd expect for a considerable size increase. Scott and Ken were both very friendly, speedy, and ready to spread good cheer. We left the stand with some tasty beverages and leis to put us in the Hawaiian mood. They also were utilizing masks and gloves for COVID-19 precautions,so it felt pretty safe. I would definitely recommend checking this place put if you see it around (they seem to regularly be at the El Toro Flicks Drive-in up in Oro Valley too!).

Overall, great experience. Here's why: I'm not a huge "water ice" connoisseur, didn't grow-up on…read morethe east coast eating it so I don't love it out of tradition or nostalgia, I like it, but don't always love it. I mean, it's right there in the name, it's literally watery ice with some flavoring, so maybe it would peak for me in the crazy heat of summer when the cold is refreshing. However, add some frozen custard to make it a "gelati", and now we're getting somewhere anytime of year. I got the root beer water ice gelati, which means they start with frozen custard in the bottom of the cup (I love the vanilla), add some water ice on top to fill the cup, then add more frozen custard on top above the rim. Check out the pic I posted. My wife got the wild black cherry gelati. My rootbeer water ice was a bit bland, not strong enough tasting, her wild black cherry water ice was really flavorful and good. The frozen vanilla custard on both was excellent, rich, creamy and smooth. Every time I eat at Rita's I want to tell them 90% custard, 10% water ice. And they're always so incredibly nice they'd definitely do it. Next time! I keep saying that, seriously, next time! The service at this location was extremely welcoming and friendly, it was great. Atmosphere is bright and open, lots of light, colorful light board menus, lots of colorful, fun, happy signs with specials and such. The place is clean and well kept, comfortable, not too loud, with a slow steady stream of customers. Check out my pics of the inside. I think as far as water ice goes, compared to many other places, and I've had a few, though I'm not a water ice aficionado, Rita's is excellent. As far as frozen custard goes, Rita's is excellent. The choices and toppings are endless. I recommend Rita's. ***FREE WATER ICE DAY is coming up on March 20th. Great time to pop in and give it a shot, worth the extra to add some of that delicious frozen vanilla custard to your favorite flavor water ice.
