     a storefront at night
    Tinisha B.

    I support this place! As a first timer and a non popcorn corn lover, this place turned everything around for me. Let's start with the customer service. Unfortunately, I didn't get the gentleman's name that helped my daughter and I but he was so so helpful with details about the popcorn and their process. The place was clean and orderly and the prices were amazing. I appreciate the top notch quality in a local business! The popcorn was delightful. We bought a bag of all caramel and a cheese and caramel mix. The popcorn didn't make it home, we ate it all in the car. Thank you for a delightful afternoon work snack Let's Get It Popping. We will be back for me! Xoxoxoxo

    I had a big bag of Cheese and Carmel Popcorn, and it was so delicious! This bag was about $10 dollars, which was a great price for this portion size. There was a line outside the door with people waiting to get in to purchase this yummy goodness. I will definitely be visiting this popcorn shop again. It tasted better than Garretts Popcorn in my opinion.

    Carmel & Cheese Mix
    Stacy K.

    I originally thought they were more affordable than garretts but they are not if you're getting caramel mixed with cheese popcorn. For some reason if you get a cheese popcorn it's bigger vs Cheese and Caramel. I didn't realize this until my last visit, I felt cheated because I feel like I could have spent the same amount of money at garretts and I would have had more popcorn. I spent almost $8 on a bag of popcorn that didn't last me long at all. It was very disappointing when I finally realized this. Usually when I spend less than that at garrets I have my popcorn for a few days. I'm sad just thinking about it. Because you know I could still be eating it right now! The popcorn was good, it taste fresh and the caramel seems very sweet to me. I say this because the other reviewers say this isn't as sweet as garretts but to me after my last visit, it seems sweeter. The service is ok, the people that work there are nice. They have other items you can buy other than popcorn like ice cream bars and cake. They also have a lot of other popcorn flavors. They are located on 118th and western, right next to family dollar. The parking is scarce. They have like maybe 5 parking spaces but I guess you could park across in the family dollar parking lot but not everyone wants to do that. I am a great example of someone who wouldn't want to do that. Lol I definitely recommend you try this place if you've never been. I use to think garretts was the authority for popcorn in Chicago but places like this are popping up giving them a run for their money. One more thing .. there is a new bag tax in chicago so if you need a bag to put your popcorn in, expect to pay .07 per bag.

     a variety of snacks

    The owners and staff here are friendly and loved showing us around all their snacks. They let us try a lot of different things so we could see what we wanted. Everything tasted like it was made with care and attention. They have a unique variety of flavors and desserts. A great southside Chicago staple.

    This popcorn is just flat out delicious fresh big kernels great flavor makes other Chicago favorite popcorn places you know who I'm talking about (gar..ts) taste like grease lol. Also no busting the bank I get a $7 dollar bag of cheese an Carmel takes days to eat

    Best popcorn in the world! Of this I have NO DOUBT!

    Best cheese popcorn on the planet!!!!! PERIOD You can venture over to Garrett's, which is probably the most well known of all the Chicagoland popcornery's... but for the most incredible, indescribable, orgasmic cheesy goodness that you will ever lick off your fingers, come here! Today I tried a new flavor - Ranch Cheddar. Let me just say that good food gives me a similar reaction as seeing my wife in lingerie after a week or two being away from home! I needed a moment after sampling this flavor. Get it!!! PS - Order like a native Chicagoan by mixing your cheese popcorn with caramel flavored popcorn. That is truly life worth living! Yelp100[58]

    I heard about their potato salad 2 days ago. Looked at reviews and I would say at least 60 %…read morecommented on their potato salad. Now the next day I'm obsessed about trying this potato salad. It's about 25 mins from my house. Being lazy but couldn't let it go. So I went and got a container of potato salad and a lemon bar. Walking out forgot to ask for a fork. Because I knew as soon as I got in my car I was going to try it. Very very good. While thinking why is this so good? Hard to explain. It's creamy little bits of celery. Potato pieces are a perfect size. Just plain goodness. Moving on to the lemon square. Didn't try until later that evening. Not an expert on lemon squares but damn this was so so delicious. The tart/sweet perfect. But the buttery crust just perfect. One more bite, one more but it had me hooked like a junkie! All gone. Now the issue is it's late and they are closed if course. But I needed my fix. Now it's the next morning. 2 hours until they open. Decisions decisions... Very nice people. A wonderful experience.

    Chicken wrap and Carrot cake are best I ever had. The staff are always so pleasant.read more
