Garrett Popcorn Shops

I and always heard about Garrett’s Popcorn and got the opportunity to get some on my way back home from Egypt. Our layover was at the Chicago O’Hare airport. The popcorn was everything everyone said it was. The Garrett Mix is dangerous!! I can munch on this mix for days. I had it again on my way home from Toronto, whenever I pass through here, if time permits I will hunt this popcorn down!!

No matter where you get them, whether is at Chicago Downtown, Ohare Terminal 1 / Terminal 3 or Midway, even at Vegas, Garret is the best popcorn that you can get. You won't regret it!!! I just found on diffwrence at this branch, the Jumbo pack is not one jumbo bag instead you get two large bags, but that doesn't matter at all, you get the same value. Caramel Crisp is the BEST, however the Garret Mix is as as good as the Carmel Crisp. Your visit to Chicago will not be complete until you get this popcorn!!! Trust me

Love Garrett’s popcorn whenever I am in Chicago or flying through O’Hare airport I try to stop by and grab at least two bags worth of goodness. It is always tasting freshly made and crunchy. There is a reason there is a line and the quality of the product is always so good and consistent. Do yourself a favor and next time you fly through Chicago stop by and pick up some of this iconic and addictive snacking treat !

Great popcorn! Don't miss the Chicago mix! It is a bit pricey.

I had a very nice vacation, coming back I stopped at Garrett's being we loved since I was younger, I ordered a large big of the hot cheese and regular caramel. Once I got to my destination I opened thought I was about to enjoy, this popcorn was very hard, and seem stale, the color is off, I remember it being darker the (caramel) popcorn, I tried going back to try and change it, but was told I couldn't go back through security, what a waste of money, thanks Garrett's, this popcorn that I got looks like CrunchnMunch, and Ik someone may say oh wow it was $10 but it was mine and I wanted a fresh bag of Garrett's popcorn

Every time I get popcorn from Garretts I get a bag of unpopped or crumbs. Just not going to buy them any more! When they were down town Chicago they were the best, now they are so busy getting money that the quality has suffered I am definitely going to post a picture! Very disappointed after 3 times it's a no for me

I had a quick layover at ORD and someone specifically requested the Garrett's Mix. Luckily, there are three locations within the airport and I was able to grab some on my way to another terminal. I got a jumbo bag of the mixed variety for him and a petite tin of the limited edition hot cocoa for myself. I can understand the hype and why the line was so long. It was definitely good! There are also some pre-packaged bags by the chips at some of the kiosks along the way if you don't have time to wait.

I love the popcorn here so much. I try to always have a layover here to pick up some goodies. However, did the size of a large buttery change? I picked up my usual popcorn order today and was in a hurry to get to my gate. Once I got home to Denver, I opened my bag and see that my “large” buttery popcorn is the same size as my “medium” Garrett’s mix. Did large bag get smaller? It’s been two months since I was last here…

CHICAGO O'HARE AIRPORT | TERMINAL 3 | Near GATE: H2 Food: 5.0 | Service: 5.0 | Ambiance: 5.0 GARRETT POPCORN SHOPS in Chicago since 1949 is famous for their ORIGINAL MIX of Cheddar cheese popcorn and Caramel popcorn. Sounds weird but you haven't lived until you've had this! Fortunately if you forget to pack your bags with this umami-based popcorn wonder snack. Fear not! Chicago's O'Hare airport was smart and thoughtful enough to include a Garrett Popcorns Shop IN the airport. Behind TSA and a stone's throw from Chili's. Staff is nice, quick and efficient. They can help with suggestions if you're overwhelmed with all the gorgeous, popcorn sights and aroma!! Do yourself favor and buy the biggest size bag or tin you can carry. That day they offered the ORIGINAL mix, or figure out your own mix with CHEESE, Lightly Salted PLAIN, CARAMEL, PECAN CARAMEL, ALMOND CARAMEL, BUTTERY. Great snack to bring back for family and friends. Tip: Bring the big tin of popcorn mix back to the office, they'll love you! GARRETT POPCORN SHOPS, I'll be back. Accept NO substitutes! P.S. There are two other GPS locations in O'Hare airport in T1 & T5.

Popcorn is a great plane snack, so we stocked up for our flight so we had something to munch on while we watched movies! Butter popcorn- expected this to be my favorite, but was a bit less salty and more just buttery. Decent, but I prefer movie theater popcorn. Cheese popcorn- freaking addicting. So cheesy and delicious. Down side is that the flavoring will leave a residue on your hands, so make sure to have napkins handy! Caramel corn- great sweet option to close out with. A bit pricey, though that's to be expected in an airport!

Garrett Popcorn is always delicious and to be able to go to a store front in Chicago tops it off. This business originated in Chicago but has since expanded to other locations. If u have no other stop but Garrett's make it happen. BEST popcorn by far!! This location was in the Ohare airport and staff was great.

Passing through ORD with just enough time to grab some popcorn before boarding my connection. The Garrett mix is my go to and it's delicious. Staff were friendly, there were way more flavor options than I remember and service was quick!

Been here before years ago. I remember it tasting better back then! Anyway I purchased a combination of low salt and butter popcorn, and also the Carmel / cheese combo popcorn. I got to my hotel to enjoy the butter low salt popcorn and it was stale!! Booo!! So disappointed. I opened the Carmel and cheese package the next day and it too was stale tasting. How sad it that??!!! Maybe they don't make it fresh anymore. But unfortunately I won't be spending my money there anymore.

It's so necessary stop by Garrett's for some popcorn. Shoutout to Tati, Margaret, and Jahmiah! They're the best. They provided not only awesome service and good popcorn flavor recommendations, but they had my friend I laughing all the way to checkout (yes it's not a long walk but you get it). I definitely recommend stopping by this particular terminal for great service and good quality popcorn.

A new tradition has begun. Any layover time at O'Hare will involve a stop at Garrett's. Sounds nuts but try the caramel and cheese. I never would've combined the two, but they did and it's really good. Lotsa other options, too. You're bound to find something appealing! The popcorn tasted just as good the next day. Provided you seal out as much air as possible. Fair warning: they have a long line that doesn't move the fastest. If you're pressed for time, look at one of the kiosks in the terminal. They have pre-packaged bags waiting for you. The girls were very helpful and patient. It's the people in line that can be a challenge. Like most places, try to figure out what you want BEFORE getting to the register. Can't wait to fly through here again! 07/25

Passed by early morning and of course we had to stop and get some popcorn! I enjoy the cheese the most and it was delish as always. When you have the chance, be sure to stop by and grab some!

When one finds oneself during a layover at O'Hare, there are four pro moves, in my opinion, that help the hours go by. Assuming you are not in a private lounge. These tips are not for you. Go back to enjoying being elite while the rest of us have to get creative ;) Tip number one. Go for a long walk. O'Hare is a massive labyrinthine airport. I had a 5 hour layover. Spend as much time walking and exploring. It's essential for your mental and physical stamina. Tip number two. Do you see all the flight crew members toting around striped Garrett Popcorn bags? They suffer no fools. Find a Garrett Popcorn stand and ask to sample their wares. Buy the biggest sized bag - trust me. The Chicago mix (caramel and cheddar cheese) still tasted good a week later. High marks for the sea salt as well. Be the envy of your seat mates on the next leg of your flight, plus it makes a terrific gift. Tip number three: Find the open air rotunda. Go up the stairs. There you will find a quiet and peaceful lounge, with an array of seating options, desks, and outlets and blessedly, not many people. You will also discover a yoga studio. I spent 20 minutes doing sun salutations all by myself. Get yourself rebalanced again. Tip number four. This brings me to Tortas Frontera. Absolutely delicious options, but most especially, the tacos. Don't forget copious amounts of hand sanitizer, because you'll be licking your fingers. They also serve margaritas in to-go cups. Now, those are $17 bucks a pop, but at least they were generous with the tequila. Order a second to take with you on your plane. When the gate agent asks if there is alcohol, politely smile and say "No, ma'am". Happy travels!

I usually prefer nuts on Clark but you can't actually fail with either one. These are smaller denser kernels which lead to less topping per piece but the cheese is really good as is the caramel

Quick place inside the busy ohare airport to pick up a local favorite. Bought a couple small popcorns which ended up costing $18. Remember to grab napkins if you get the cheese popcorn mix as they dont include them in your bag for you. The popcorn received was delish, consistent with popcorn shops in the city.

We were headed back home to Austin at the O'Hare airport and noticed they had the yummy Chitown popcorn-Garretts on the way to our gate, so we had to stop and gets some small bags of the Chicago mix and picked up a new one that was pecan. Its a tiny spot to get a quick order of some popcorn and you can choose to get them in there Souvenir Tins as well. It's well worth the stop and glad they have them in the airport now. They have a few sizes to choose from. Highly recommend! If you haven't had them yet, you're missing out.

Picked up garret mix and the premium pecan caramel in small bags. They bag it up really nicely so that it travels well in my carry on. I loved both flavors and conveniently located next to my gate home in terminal 1. They also have tins if you wanted something you could save.

Garrett Popcorn Shop is definitely a popular place to bring back for family and friends. Their most famous flavor is their "Chicago mix", which is Half caramel popcorn and half cheddar. I like their caramel popcorn. On this occasion, I brought their seasonal frango popcorn, which had caramel popcorn mixed with chocolate covered popcorn and mint chocolate flavored popcorn. Delicious. Other nice thing about this location at O Hare airport is that the cost mirrors what they charge at locations in downtown. Not cheap, but at least it's not marked up further at the airport!

OMG! Another Chicago culinary delight. I love popcorn, and Garrets mix is the absolute best! Given the opportunity connect through several airports, I always have and always will choose ORD. Just for Garret's.

A quick spot to grab a snack for the flight or a souvenir for a friend. The cheese popcorn is the best but you will definitely need napkins since they can stain your hands.

Garrett popcorn is a Chicago staple, I love far from Chicago, so every time we are in Las Vegas, I try to get my fix on Garett's popcorn mix. Thanks Garrett popcorn .

I stopped at this location, because I just landed and didn't want to drive in the city. It was a waist of money. I had kernels and crumbs. When they get that low, they should toss it. I couldn't eat it. This is bad business. I will continue to buy from SHA- POPPIN, I never experienced this before.

A Chicago treat for over 70 years, I really had to try Garrett's. Even one of my coworkers said it was a must during my last layover at O'hare. The line wasn't too long. So while I waited my turn, I scoped out which kind to try. There were quite a few variations. I chose Pecan CarmelCrisp. It was very rich and crisp and the pecans broke up the sweetness! Service wasn't the friendliest but the cashier did smile back at me. All in all, service was quick and efficient. I read that they rotate in new flavors, so I'll have to check for those next time I'm at Ohare.

I think this is the correct location that we went to at the airport. Bought some popcorn for our families, and it's pretty standard, but the service by the staff was terrific. They were friendly, quick, and made it worthwhile.

Love the popcorn. I travel every other week and always grab a bag of cheddar for my flight. November 1st I decided to buy the Chicago tin for $44.00! First, the guy helping me was talking on his phone the whole time. I had to tell him three times, while he was going back and forth on his phone, I wanted the tin with "CHEDDAR" only. He then goes and fills the tin. Taped it shut. So I purchased dark chocolate pecans and figured okay I'll eat the popcorn when I get home. I get home, open the tin, and he filled half with caramel and half cheddar!!!! Note: most of it is Carmel! Waste of 44.00! I don't eat Carmel popcorn.

What you want? Not may I help you. Thank you and have a nice day isn't part of the vocabulary here. I haven't purchased Garretts in a while since it's so heavy popcorn. It's very sweet and there is only so much I can take. I typically purchase for friends that do not want to order it online.

I've been to Chicago a couple of times, and I've heard that Garrett popcorn is one of the things to get when you visit. I've wanted to try it but thought, how good can popcorn get? My bf convinced me last time not to get it since it looked like a tourist trap, but I was still always curious. When I had the chance to visit for a day, I decided to get a bag at the airport before leaving the city. It ended up being a good last minute decision. I got to the airport a little before 7:00am which is when the stand opens. I sat down nearby to wait but saw that a line was already forming before they were ready. I decided to get in line before it got longer. Of course, if this was going to be my first time here, I wanted the fan-favorite Garrett mix: caramel popcorn and cheese popcorn. I ended up ordering a medium bag of it. It tried one of each before packing it away in my bag. The caramel and cheese popcorn surprisingly went well together. I think I may have even tried this popcorn back when I was a child, but it certainly wasn't as fresh and airy as this. When I got back to my bf's place, I offered him some. I think the only regret I had ordering from Garrett's Popcorn was not getting a larger size. My bf was as addicted as I was...maybe even more so. He took back all the things he said about this popcorn being a tourist trap. We both preferred the caramel popcorn from the mix but despite that, I still wouldn't get a bag of just caramel. The sharpness of the cheese really complements the sweetness of the caramel. The price of the popcorn is pretty darn good for the amount you get. Needless to say, definitely grab a bag of Garrett popcorn before you leave Chicago. I will be buying more on my next trip.

You must get yourself some popcorn from Garrett's before you leave Chicago! This is my second stop at this location and I will most likely always make it a stop to get my popcorn fix before heading home. Employees were friendly even though they had a huge line and it was closer to closing time so the inventory was running low. I got myself the Garrett mix in a small cute pink tin and it almost didn't even make it home. It's soooo addicting! Paid $15 for the small tin with the Garrett mix but so worth it!

I love this popcorn so much and had to have it!!! The staff...‍ I'm not sure what to think honestly but 1 of the guys who works here was awesome and he was really nice as we had a good laugh together. Lol I crack myself up sometimes. He needs to be cloned because his customer service skills were APLUS!!! A employee/lady on the other hand, was horrible!!! FIRST, there were only 2 of us in line and she was working on a ordered POPCORN tin, trying to seal it for a current customer... which took her at least 15min to do... but then, this chick picks up her cell phone after that customer being served, and started chatting away... WHO DOES THAT??? ON SPEAKER!!! WHAT IN THE... ON GODS Gravel, brown and GREEN EARTH, IS SOME OF YALL IN CUSTOMER SERVICE THINKING??? SHEESH!!! You're forgetting that we're in an airport meaning that, we don't have all day lady. Oh my Lord!!! I swear I can't make this stuff up!!! That's when THE NICE employee/ guy with great CUSTOMER SERVICE, came out to help. Thank you Sir, you saved us all from missing flights. Prese give this fella a day off and a raise please!!! SOMEBODY PEAR send uncover boss to check out this location because, some folks don't belong in customer service... forgive me if it were an emergency but ma'am you could've called another coworker to help out instead of just walking off screaming on speaker phone (which, didn't appear to be an emergency) and walking away leaving us in line hanging. She didn't even have the decency to call for backup. She was unorganized, unpredictable, and unprofessional to day the least! Leave your personal life at home ma'am. I wont post your photo because I'm embarrassed for you. You're welcome! Located in the airport terminal. I only posted photos that were incriminating to protect the nice employee who came out to help after hearing ole girl screaming on the phone... I'm sure!

They offer a wide variety of popcorn and are a Chicago staple. They have about 8 different flavors from Buttery to caramel peanut, caramel pecan, caramel and cashew, cheese, cocoa butter (Mix) cocoa mix. So many to choose from And they have different flavors on different days. It takes so rich and flavorful. It's a can't miss!!

Garrett's is hands down the best popcorn ever made! Growing up in the Chicagoland area, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed eating it every chance we got. Now that I don't live in Chicago anymore, it's definitely a treat that I must get anytime I visit. Thankfully, Garrett's was open in the O'Hare airport when we were leaving to go back to Virginia, so we made sure we ordered a few bags. My favorite is the Garrett Mix which is a mix of the Caramel Crisp and the Cheese Corn and it is the perfect sweet and salty combination! I've never had any of the other flavors but if they are as good as the Caramel and Cheese, then I know they are amazing! If you haven't tried Garrett's you are definitely missing out.

Last month, I was flying home from Minneapolis through Chicago O'Hare (ORD) International Airport. I had arrived at a C gate and needed to get to a B gate for my final flight segment home. When I got to the B concourse, I saw Garrett Popcorn Shops. Chicago mix is the popcorn flavour that Chicago is known for. There was a lineup at this stand. It was a sign that I should get some popcorn. I LOVE popcorn. Two flight attendants that were on my flight from Minneapolis lined up. They would definitely know what's good if they are always working this flight segment. Garrett has a ton of popcorn sizes in both bags and tins. The two flight attendants were debating getting the jumbo. Holy cow! If you can picture a long body pillow, the jumbo is that size where you can go to sleep hugging it. I feel like it may be a challenge storing it in the overhead compartment of any plane and that I'd need to get a plane ticket for it. It's funny, but I was in a caramel popcorn mood for my entire trip. I got a medium bag of CaramelCrisp popcorn. I was looking forward to trying it out. Staff at this store are efficient. I ordered. I then got a Diet Pepsi. I paid with a credit card and all was great. I thanked both women and happy walked across to my gate. I still had time before boarding. I sat down and munched on my popcorn. There were a few cheese ones accidentally mixed in. I was delighted getting a mini bonus of the Chicago mix. The CaramelCrisp was excellent. OMG! I was practically inhaling the stuff. The popcorn was crisp with the perfect amount of caramel coating on each popped piece of popcorn. So good! My mouth is watering as I reminisce about this popcorn. I finished my popcorn the next day back in the greater Toronto area. It was so yummy. Maybe I should go jumbo like the flight attendants. Between Garrett and Nuts on Clark, I prefer the former more. The edge is with the crispness of the popcorn. However, if I see the latter, I'm not going to say no to decent popcorn. This find was wonderful. It's nice that I can get excellent Chicago popcorn during a layover. (109)

Garret Popcorn Shop O'Hare Airport location. I am not a popcorn guy but my wife said it is tops. Ordered the Garret Mix it was good, but I am no expert. Long lines but efficient.

Delicious popcorn founded in Chicago. Many flavors of popcorn are offered but my favorite is "the mix". Discovered this popcorn in New York City some years ago and I was hooked. You can order this popcorn online and have it sent directly to your home. While on a lay over in O'Hare Airport, I discovered Garrett's Popcorn. Purchased my favorite and it even tasted great 2 days later.

CHEEESE PLEASE!! I had my first packet of Garrett's a few months ago!i Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks and this gourmet popcorn is a MUST when you're in Chicago . Absolutely Divine !!!!

So delicious! Visited Chicago purchased some popcorn from one of their stores and know I'm hooked!! Love the mixed popcorn

When it's freshly made and hot, their best-selling "the mix" is nearly impossible to stop eating for me. Good thing I don't live in Chicago. It's a lovely and surprising mixture of savory and sweet, smokey and tangy flavors.

I love Garrett's popcorn so much that I don't have a picture.. I ate my Garrett's Mix (cheese and carmel popcorn) so fast I was unable to get a picture of my favorite Chicago treat. I used to stop by Garretts years ago every time I was downtown. Now, Garrett's is located in Chicago O'hare Airport. I recommend getting a large and save some for later. When I fly to visit relatives, I buy a bag for them. My family in Chicago and in other states all love Garrett's popcorn, great for gifts, and for yourself.

It's a Chicago thing. One simply must get Garrett's, the original, Chicago mix. I may have eaten just the caramel and left most of the cheese for my kid. Conveniently located at the airport, grab some on arrival or departure, or even both!

Stopped by as I had an extended layover for my trip and wanted to try the popcorn that my friends and colleagues love and crave everytime they past by Chicago O Hare. I got two flavors buttery and cheesy and both were good. Fresh and flavorful.

Garrett's is known for their infamous Chicago caramel and cheese popcorn! Everything is made fresh daily and service was fast. If you're in terminal 3, I highly recommend making a quick pitstop before your flight to grab some!

Delicious popcorn shop! Such a fun Chicago experience. Sometimes the line gets a bit crazy, but other than that, I would definitely recommend! We got the Chicago Mix - which is a classic. You might not expect cheese and caramel popcorn to be a good combination, but something about the salty and the sweet really works. Obviously, this is a novelty store and it's in the airport, so the pricing is high, but that is par for the course for something like this.

Delicious Popcorn, Horrendous employees! These were some of the rudest people I've ever had to deal with. The entire line was confused as we were getting scolded by the lady taking our orders. There was no relief as I went to the checkout lady. Rude, rolled her eyes, and was overall unpleasant. It's not THAT hard to try to have a decent attitude. Especially when I was being kind.

While exploring the airport terminal I spotted this popcorn stand and my sister told me that it's a popular popcorn brand based here in Chicago. Decided to give it a shot and got the Garrett Mix (CaramelCrisp & CheeseCorn). Wow, this is some mighty good popcorn lol. The CheeseCorn is the typical cheese popcorn that I love. Bold cheese flavor. I'm not the biggest fan of caramel popcorn, but I still wanted to try the caramel popcorn here. I actually really like it! The crispness of the caramel popcorn is addicting, and I appreciate that the popcorn isn't overly sweet. At first I tried the two kinds of popcorn separately but of course *the* right approach is to grab a mixed handful and munch on the popcorn that way. The wombo combo of flavors. Ended up mindlessly gobbling up the whole bag while sitting near the flight gate waiting for the departure plane (hey, at least it passed some time lol). Highly recommend! The person in front me in line at the stand got a popcorn tin they intend to give to someone. Not at all a bad idea as a souvenir gift lol.

Sorry, no pictures because it was that good and didn't last! I heard this was a must while in Chicago and it didn't disappoint. I had butter popcorn and caramel popcorn. A small was more than enough as it was quite "large" in portion. A small was $3.99. The butter popcorn had REAL butter and you can taste the difference. It didn't even get soggy. The caramel popcorn was good also. Not overly sweet and it didn't get stuck in my teeth which is always a plus. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must!

We obviously needed some popcorn to enjoy at home before we left Chicago. It's such a convenience that Garrett's has locations in the airport. This location was busy but the staff was quick and kept the line moving.

Best popcorn ever. The top seller is the Chicago Mix. It's carmel and cheese. Also, the popcorn is made that day.

The popcorn is always yummy! I love the variety of flavors, and everyone is always so friendly.

This Garrett's Popcorn shop is located to the giant brontosaurus replica, right by the entrance to Terminal 1's Concourse C. They used to give out free samples before the pandemic, but I'm not sure if they do anymore. The woman working behind the counter was hilarious. She was friendly, direct, and quick-of-service! Garret's Popcorn is AMAZING, and their Chicago Mix, constituting of their cheddar and caramel corn, is divine. Get it. You can thank me later. You're welcome. This is one of my go-to spots upon entering Chicago, which makes it easy, as it's right in the airport. Makes it super easy to bring home to wherever you live, too (whether traveling to or from Chicago)! Thank you!

It's been several years since I was introduced to Garrett popcorn. I didn't think it would any good mixing caramel with cheese, but it really does work! $10 for a large bag of Garrett mix and I was on my way to catch my flight. They really didn't mix the flavors very well, so I had to dig around to get a good handful. So good!

I usually stop in when passing through Chicago. The young ladies that I have encountered there have always been nice and provide a fast service. I especially enjoy the buttery and the mix. Handy snack for the plane ride or while you wait.

Conan, Magic (he's surrounded with 10 bags at home), Beyoncé, President Obama and Joe Biden are fiends for Garrett. Many Republicans are closet Garrett popcorn obsessives. And rightfully so, I've been a fan too of Garrett popcorn (popped in hot air and coated individually with caramel and butter) since I've been traveling through Chicago's ORD airport. The Garrett mix is a combo of cheddar, light caramel and butter and is reputed to be Garrett's biggest seller. My fave? I love the pecan, cashew and almond Caramelcrisp popcorn clusters- the light caramel and butter glaze with fresh candied nuts is the stuff I keep buying over and over; sometimes when the craving is too much I mail order. Garrett's, is a mom and pop originated out of the family's Milwaukee home and transported the product to their first shop at 10 W Madison, Chicago since 1949. It's the best popcorn CaramelCrisp I've ever had. But wait; it's Non-GMO, gluten free, no trans-fat, preservatives free, and like in the days of yore, just simple ingredients. If you're hankerin for a pop, here's where I mail order: https://www.garrettpopcorn.com Tip: In the ORD airport In United's Concourse B, there may be others in the airport.

The popcorn is great, as always. The staff leave a lot to be desired. Literally shooed away while looking at the options after they were late to open. No biggy, stuff happens. But then when we all lined up once they finally opened, the person taking the orders was rude and brisk. The cashier was slightly better but condescending.
