    Walking along the boardwalk and eating popcorn or sitting on a bench watching the ocean while snacking on popcorn is my idea of a relaxing day. We bought the butter flavored popcorn but the caramel popcorn is what they are known for. The butter flavored popcorn that we had tasted burnt. It's still edible and buttery so I'm not sure if that is just part of their flavor. If you get something here, go for the caramel popcorn.

    While on a walk on the boardwalk, came across Johnson's popcorn. Couldn't resist the urge to get the bucket I had been seeing during my childhood years. It is the best! I got the mix of cheese and caramel and enjoy ever kernel of it. I was not too impressed with the staff thou. They seemed very robotic and rushed, even when there was not much going on during a midday Tuesday in November. However, I can say, you need to try this popcorn when around the boardwalk.

    So all week this place was poppin' at night! Like line and big bags of of over flowing popcorn everywhere. I knew I had to try it out. Line was short when I arrived and I was able to watch them making the popcorn in large kettles in the back of the store front. I saw the popcorn being cooked, brown sugar being mixed and the smell was heavenly. Service was quick and I ordered a medium cheddar and caramel Open (which just means the popcorn is overflowing out and in the bag) The cheddar was on point a lovely velvet texture, salty, and just cheese bliss! The caramel was sweet but a little more like toffee and less like caramel. Is it tasty, yes. Is it a great snack to munch on while beaching, yes. But I've had better!

    A must visit when you are at the boardwalk. My favorite s Chicago style, which is a mix of cheddar and caramel. Perfect combination of sweet and salty. Very addicting. The caramel is not super sweet They will ask if you want it close or open. Open gives you more because the popcorn overflows your bucket and it's in a plastic bag. It's cheaper when you bring your own bucket.

    Who are you kidding? You know two-gallon tubs are the only way to eat sugar-covered popcorn on the beach! And even if you aren't at the beach, every receptionist in the tristate area has probably seen tubs of Johnson's come for some recipients. The famous kernels come plain, in peanut crunch or caramel. The tins are cute keepsakes for kids toys, or just for your throw up after you eat the whole thing single-handedly.

    The best popcorn in New Jersey!

    The best popcorn in New Jersey ! My family and I always get the Carmel popcorn. It's served in a bucket in a bag and the bucket is overfilled with popcorn! Big servings! Great prices ! Popcorn is served warm. We love the popcorn clusters in the bucket. They have lots of sizes you can get . You should def get the popcorn put it bag. More bang for your buck! We will continue to visit this small but yummy popcorn shop!

    Perfect small party favor size is going to be great in our welcome bags! They will even put a sticker with a note on each container.

    My wife owns her own business, and is "required" to take multiple buckets home to share every time.

    We grabbed a small bag (and a tub to take home) of their caramel corn and it was exactly what you'd hope for.
