If I could pick any one food to eat myself into a diabetic coma, it would be warm Johnson's caramel corn. You have no idea what caramel corn is until you get it fresh - only on the Ocean City boardwalk. read more

I am a diabetic and when I feel the need to "cheat" I only want the best. Been eating this popcorn since I was a small tyke about 50 years. Please don't tell my doctor. Just awesome (with the lid off)! read more

Years ago, this was my favorite place on the boardwalk. I'm not sure if they change the recipe, if I just got a bad batch, or if it's because my wife and I now make our own caramel corn and we think it's amazing. This was not good. The popcorn tasted burnt. It was very disappointing. read more

Pros: - Multiple locations on the boardwalk. - Served warm and fresh. - Multiple sizes available. - They serve it up extra high so you get bang for your buck. Cons: - Calories......*shrug*, nom nom nom. Tips: - Eat right away because it is so good when it is warm! read more

Went here this week on a cold drizzling December day when the beach was almost empty and tried a small tub and munched it while walking along the beach, it was wonderful and a very pleasant experience!!! Best caramel corn I ever tried.. And cool that you can watch the crew making it... read more

See all

Popcorn? No way, we call it crack. You simply can't stop partaking of the Johnson's popcorn. Found out the peanut crunch is just as addicting. Btw, it is gf but not dairy free. read more

Love, LOVE The popcorn. If you're visiting town it's right up there with ocean city's classic salt water taffy. Reasonably priced for fresh popcorn, but it's a better deal if you get the bucket honestly. When they aren't swamped and you buy a cup sometimes they give you extra if you get it in a bag. I believe they also offer shipping out of state for gifting this tasty treat! However you get it, it stays fairly well for a good amount of time. No disappointment here! So don't be afraid to take some extras home to friends and family. read more

Love this popcorn. So fresh and delicious. We enjoyed the Carmel and cheddar. Can't wait for next time.

I just had a bowlful of this caramel corn and because a co-worker moved it to an empty desk next to me I have to practice extreme self control. All I can say is the coating is very fine and crunchy and not at all that sweet but sweet enough to keep me shoving handful after handful down the hatch. I need to figure out a way to eat more without being noticed.....maybe I will come into the office at midnite. ;)_ read more

Johnson's and Kohr Brothers. Two things you must get when going to Ocean City. I love Johnson's Carmel Corn espically when you first buy it on the boardwalk. The warm carmel corn it is just so good. Don't even bother bringing a package of Cracker Jack's when going to Ocean City. Go to Johnson's. read more

I've been obsessed with all sweet forms of popcorn during my pregnancy. I'm pretty sure my baby is going to be 90% kettle corn. My mother in law loves this popcorn so I had to try it. I almost wish I hadn't because I almost polished off the small plastic container in one sitting. Damn you sweet popcorn! Another must in Ocean City read more

Maybe it is as good as I remember fresh on the Boardwalk, but what I received was a poor excuse for any kind of popcorn. Both the butter and the dark chocolate looked like leftover popcorn from the bottom of the barrel. Have not opened the carmel onw, but do not have high expectations. read more

My bf gets me Johnson's popcorn was he visits the Jersey Shore. This time, I got to tag along. Johnson's popcorn is the best anywhere! And it's even better while it's still warm. And remember, one bucket is not enough. Get a couple so you can have some on the drive home! read more

I once walked from 28th street to pick up a large tub for the family. 15 blocks, and well worth it. Special bonus, you can order some on the web! read more

An absolute MUST when you're on the boardwalk in Ocean City. My family and I buy the biggest bucket available, always thinking it's going to last a few days, and it's always gone in a few hours. However, I may have to disown them, as I just found out I'm the only one who likes peanuts in my Johnson's. Guess that just means I get my own bucket. read more

This is the best damn caramel corn in the state, if not world. Growing up at the shore I've always loved getting big tubs filled past the brim. Its always fresh, because they are constantly making more. If you save your tub you can get it refilled for a discount. A visit to here is a no-brainer. read more

I didn't feel we were treated very nice. service was terrible not sure I will return seemed no one wanted to wait on us so we stood. read more

While I have been crazy about this popcorn for many years, this past Saturday my head exploded when I saw they now offer Cheddar popcorn... but better than that... THEY WILL MIX THE CARAMEL AND THE CHEDDAR POPCORN TOGETHER!! This combination is out of this world and has been offered famously for years by Garrett's Popcorn out of Chicago. Johnson's Popcorn has outdone themselves with this. I'm telling everybody I know that they better not leave the boardwalk without this yummy popcorn in hand! read more

I can see why this is an OC must have... Slightly addicting Carmel corn in a huge bucket.. How can you go wrong... Refills for years to come at a lower price.. Again.. How can you go wrong! read more

OMG, you can't imagine this goodness in your wildest dreams. This would be my last meal on Earth if I knew it was coming. So good, so perfect. read more

IT'S GLUTEN FREE AN DELICIOUS !!!! The Original an Peanut Crunch are both GF :-) Simply the Best Carmel popcorn around, my suggestion get a large tub for everyone with the "lid off" option (ya get more), an return with the empty tub for a refill before you leave the shore, you get $2.00 off just for bringing your tub back for refill...Enjoy GF friends & everyone !! read more

Best carmel popcorn I've ever tasted. Warm Johnson's popcorn is as much a part of the shore experience as sand and saltwater.

Warm, delicious, crisp and fluffy. Each kernel is well coated with sugary goodness, and the packaging retains the heat well. A worthy snack to accompany your stroll down the OC boardwalk. read more

They do it, and they do it GREAT! You gotta love johnson's popcorn. If you don't, someone in your family does and you'll need to grab a bucket of it for them! In my house, we all love it, so we always need a bunch. They ship anywhere which is a convenient tool. Along the boardwalk, there are so many different johnson's popcorn locations so you are bound to run into one. Just follow the smell! read more

Baby and I went to Johnsons to get some popcorn and walk the boardwalk. She liked it more then I did and she said I should give it 4-5 stars. I think popcorn is popcorn so it gets 3 from me. read more

What can I say this is simply the best caramel corn ever. When its warm it is hard to stop eating it. The prices are not bad and you get a resealable container for your popcorn. Excellent read more

Love this stuff!! The chocolate covered caramel corn is heaven!!! I really love the caramel corn with nuts. The staff are very friendly. Seems a little pricey though. But my family keeps going back monthly because we love it so much! read more

The best Popcorn in the land made fresh right in front of you and the employee there are always nice and friendly greet you with a smile when you order and when you leave read more

This popcorn is really good - the best anywhere! Two tips: save the empty tubs for a discount and order your popcorn "without the lid".

The greatest caramel corn on the planet. Nothing like a hot bucket of fresh corn to make a night on the boardwalk perfect. We grab a bucket every time we are on the OC boardwalk. Dont forget to bring back your bucket next time. It will save you $1 for the refill! read more

Received a bucket of the Salty and Sandy popcorn as a Christmas gift. This popcorn is insanely delicious! Can't get enough of it. Will definitely be buying more and making it a holiday tradition!! read more

Like Cracker Jacks done right. Pretty good! Stays fresh for a couple of days too if you get an entire bucket.

I have tried caramel popcorn from other vacation resorts, as well as free-standing shops in various towns and cities. Large scale commercially produced caramel popcorn sold in decorated retail cans is not worth the time of day. To this day, I am happy to say Johnson's Popcorn is the best available, and unmatched by competitors. Their providing a discount for refilled tubs is a nice touch as well. The unsurpassed extremely high quality of this product is maintained year after year, and makes a great trip to Ocean City even more enjoyable. read more

Love the fact that you get extra popcorn when you ask not to put the lid on. So delicious and make sure you bring back your empty container to get a discount. read more

The best caramel popcorn you will ever eat, and I've had it from Seattle to S. Carolina to ME. Remember to bring back your container for a better price and overflow into the plastic bag to eat right away. read more

Overpriced and "LOADED" with Sugar! Our family will stay with Mack & Manco Pizza and Planters Pizza for value and health.

yes hands down delicious caramel popcorn comes spilling outta refillable bucket. must have!

Johnson's has THE BEST Carmel Popcorn on the planet. But it's getting so ridiculously overpriced!!! A piece of advice: When you order, ask them to leave the lid off. This way, you get a lot more for your money! read more

You can't do better than Johnson's caramel corn! It's light, crispy, and every bit as addictive as the other reviewers have said. We were in a couple of days before Hurricane Sandy, on a Friday morning, and there was a line behind us of people stocking up before the storm. I would have thought they'd be lining up for wine, or bottled water, or bread and toilet paper, but no, they were all making sure they had their popcorn fix! read more

Super friendly staff, free samples, and delicious caramel corn, nut corn and cheddar corn (caramel was my favorite) cooked in bronze vats. The buckets of popcorn packaged with a box of salt water taffy make great gifts. I'm not generally a big fan of popcorn, but this was really good. I would return. read more
