    Get the Chicago mix! Or caramel if you prefer savory or just get anything because it’s all soooo good. You’ve never paid this much for popcorn but worth it! 4/5

    Be forewarned: once you open the waxed paper bag, you can't stop eating this stuff. Your fingers will get kind of orange-y, sticky and greasy (in a good way). Suffice it to say, it's highly addictive. Read more

    If you've ever been to Chicago and not had Windy City mix, shame on you!! I ship this stuff as a gift to people, it's so good. The only caramel corn in the world I will eat!

    Definitely get the Chicago Mix. A perfect combination of caramel and cheddar-cheese. At the Michigan Ave location, the line is always really long (especially in the summer) so be prepared to wait.

    I can not recommend it, I felt cheated. It practically has two flavors: cheese and caramel. The popcorn gets mixed up and the attendant bundles the popcorn coarsely.

    Get the Chicago mix or get a medium caramel with a large cheese, so the little ones will have extra cheese to nibble on!

    A local favorite since 1949. The loyal clientele swear that the caramel, cheddar-cheese or old-fashioned butter popcorn is the best around. -- Green Guide Editor

    Normally, I hate when sweet things touch salty things - but the Chicago Mix, a mix of caramel and cheese popcorns, was awesome!

    The homeless people are super aggressive here. They will plow thru the line, knocking down the ropes, looking for change. Staff didn't seem to care.

    If you're going to the theater, you can't take the popcorn in with you. Lines are much shorter than the one on Michigan Ave though!
