Uptown Popcorn

This is a great place for munchies. All kinds of fruit flavored candied popcorns. They even have blue coconut flavor popcorn, hopefully they leave the rum out of it
My wife thought the grape flavor was bitter but a fun snack to try.

Not a bad popcorn place in North Park Mall. Stumble upon it and thought I’d give them a try. Since I’m a Chicago girl I went with the confetti blend instead of my usual chicago blend.
The size for the price is pretty good. I like that they have a mini size option as well.
As for the blend itself it was pretty good but I’ve had better confetti flavor. There’s must be a few of the flavors that I’m not crazy about. In my mind a confetti blend should be all the fruit type flavors. This one had the cake batter flavor in it which I didn’t care for. So I just didn’t eat the white colored ones and stuck with the brightly colored fruit flavors.

The first time I had buffalo wing flavored popcorn was at the Grand Prairie Premium Outlets. I forgot the name of the kiosk, but my manager bought me a bag from that kiosk and it was delicious! So when my fiancé and I went to NorthPark Mall and saw Uptown Popcorn, I got really excited!
On our way out from shopping, we stopped by and I grabbed a mini bag of Buffalo Wing popcorn. I ordered my popcorn and then I waited for 7 – 10 minutes for them to bring it out. In the meantime, the manager was trying to sell my fiancé a popcorn tin with his school emblem on it. After he kept insisting that he will ship it to this store location, my fiancé (for the umpteenth time) told him that he’s not interested. The manager finally said «I guess you’re not a true fan then, huh?» and walked off.
After we got our popcorn, I immediately opened it and started snacking on it. Oh my god, Unilocalers! I kid you not, the popcorn was stale! It’s really sad because their flavoring is good, but their popcorn is incredibly, unbelievably stale! The kiosk in Grand Prairie Premium Outlets was never ever stale and it’s prepackaged! So what the hell were they doing in the back that took 7 – 10 minutes to package up a MINI bag? I’ll tell you what they were doing; they were digging up all the old stale popcorn and adding Buffalo flavor to it in hopes that it’ll cover up the stale texture. It was terrible and I will not be coming back and I do not recommend this to anyone.

I am a popcorn connessieur. Some people are wine experts, some cigars, me… popcorn. As with most anything… there are specialities and flavors at some places that are good, and some flavors not so good… so you have to know what to get and what to steer clear of. Uptown popcorn is pretty good popcorn, definitely the best I’ve tried to date in DFW. Haven’t done my research to learn if it’s non-​GMO, what it’s popped in and the like, but they have a few really tasty flavors that keep me going back for more.
One of those flavors is the garlic parmesean — salty, cheesy, lick your fingers good. My other favorites are the hannah’s caramel (closest to Garrett’s caramel I’ve found) and the cheddar cheese… and yes I do it chicago style and mix the caramel and cheese together! DOOO IIIITTTT.
Their popcorn is light and crispy and the savory flavors pack in a lot of flavor and aren’t weakly seasoned. Great gift packaging available.
I would much rather someone send me a tin of popcorn from here vs. an edible arrangement or cookies, and I will be buying a large bag of popcorn to separate into smaller servings to include in some gift baskets around the holidays!

since I was about to head to a movie, I decided to grab some popcorn from here when I saw it while walking the mall. Today when I went there were 3 females working, and I asked them which is their best seller — they said dill pickle, but I don’t like that taste at all so I tried the buffalo. Then one of them asked if i wanted to try their famous signature one, which was caramel, that one was also good. I ended up getting buffalo and also the jackson’s denver blend — which was white cheddar and caramel. They are both so flavorful and the blend is perfect with the savory and sweet mix. I read issues with it being stale, but I had no issues with that this time.

If you are used to Garrett’s popcorn from Chicago this is a huge let down in terms taste. Garrett’s Chicago mix popcorn is the bomb and I am looking the same quality of popcorn here in Dallas. I was hopeful that Uptown Popcorn was going to give me that Chicago flavor. Uptown Popcorn has more flavors but it was confusing because they almost have too many. The thing I love about Garrett’s is that they have these large clear bins that you can the corn and yes it smells amazing. When I walked in I was expecting to be knocked over by the smell of popcorn and this was not the case. At Upton Popcorn they keep enough popcorn to fill the bottom of the bins and store the rest in the back where they fill your order. The popcorn was flavorful. I had them create my own Chicago mix with Caramel Corn and Cheddar Corn. The Caramel Corn was buttery and the Cheddar corn was ok but tasted a bit stale. (Disappointed), the thing is I made a special trip to North Park center just to get some popcorn for my dad and he loves Garrett’s so I was hoping to save money on the shipping and cost of Garrett’s popcorn. Oh well! I guess this should write a review for Garrett’s…note to self.

We usually frequent Rodeo City Popcorn in Mesquite and I am a very loyal customer. It took a lot for my husband to convince me to try Uptown’s popcorn. We selected Jackson’s Dallas combination which features Cheddar, Butter and Jackson’s Caramel and I am HOOKED on Jackson’s caramel. I tried one other variation but the Jacksons was so darn good. The flavor isn’t super sweet and had a really nice buttery undertone. I can’t wait to come back and get a giant bag of just that flavor. The other two were delicious but I am in love with that one. I went crazy on Caramel after that. I went to Target later that day and purchased Salted Caramel Glad plugin refills, Caramel apple cake mix and caramel candies. I have never been this into caramel. Seriously.

Fast, friendly, and flavorful. You can find any flavor imaginable. Jackson’s Caramel and southwest jalapeño are great.

Uptown I miss you! The caramel ones are my favorite. I wish we had this in Charleston, but maybe it’s for the best. The cheesy flavors are great. The only one I wouldn’t get again is the bacon. Loved snacking on these on the plane both times I visited Dallas.

the service is upbeat and fun, my favorite is the white chocolate pretzel… so far

Want some mediocre popcorn served to you by teenage boys in gym clothes? Then this is your spot.
Seriously.
The popcorn is really just not very good (um, have you tried Garrett’s? You won’t want this stuff if you have!), and you get to wait in line for 15 minutes for it, even when there are only 4 other people in the shop!
So the way the set up works is that you wait in line to order, then the kid puts a sticker on a bag that says what you want, and walks the bag to the back. Then someone else presumably fills up the bag and brings it back up to the front. This whole process took about 15 minutes, which was ridiculous.
And to top it off, the only people working were teenage boys dressed like they belonged at basketball practice. No thanks.

I am not a popcorn enthusiast. I do not order it at the movies, not get it at the ballpark. I do buy it at NorthPark at Uptown Popcorn, however.
I stopped simply to satisfy my curiosity for the Buffalo flavor, but have come back several times for savory and sweet varieties alike. The salt and vinegar was a revelation (much better than chips of the same flavor) and the tuxedo was downright classy. Outside of the disappointing cheesecake flavor, everything sampled so far is a hit. Recognize that this snack is not cheap when you enter, however… but then of course, you could pay a lot more around the corner at AMC and end up throwing most of that away in a hour.

I have not been into the location so this review is solely based on an online experience.
I ordered 2 weeks ago after searching frantically for an amazing flavored popcorn place with fast delivery and decent prices. I stumbled across the Uptown Popcorn website and so glad I did.
The website is clear and easy to navigate. Not long after I placed my order, i received confirmation that my selections were being sent.
About 4 days later, I received my order. ! medium bag of cheddar cheese and one large bag of confetti candy coated. As a bonus (which I had no idea I was getting) I received 2 mini bags of Paul’s and Hannah’s carmel. Each and every single flavor was beyond amazing. The cheese was perfect! Creamy and rich. Our of the 2 caramels, Hannah’s was my favorite by far. I almost fainted from how rich the flavor was. I have never had a caramel popcorn as explosive and amazing ever. The Paul’s is good for those who can’t handle too sweet but still enjoy a good caramel popcorn. The candy coated confetti was also amazing. I just had weekend vistors and I served this as an after dinner treat and they went wild for it.
I just ran out of all the flavors except the confetti but I can say, stored in an airtight container, not one went stale and the confetti still taste like the day I got it.
There was a really nice «Thank-​You» card included as a really nice touch. Definitely ordering again and can’t wait to stop by next time I’m in Dallas!

I would have liked to see more of the popcorns on display. It’s hard to choose just from names on a wall.
I chose bacon-​cheddar and some kind of caramel. The bacon-​cheddar was very salty but tasty at the same time. I’m still working my way through the caramel, here at work.

Uptowwwwnnnnn… stop holding on to stale popcorn. You’re loosing points for it big time. My friend (a 1^st timer) was unimpressed because of the staleness. And I’d hyped the place up like whoa beforehand, so not delivering puts my legit rep on the line!
They’ve gotten rid of a few flavors but you still have a lot to choose from. Cheddar & Bacon, Parm & Garlic, Ranch, Buffalo… favorites. Hannah’s Caramel is the must have.
My only complaint is that the popcorn is stale. It didn’t used to be like this but the last few times — at Allen and Northpark locations, that’s what i’m getting. At their specialty price point, they should just throw it out if its not fresh.
Customer Service is improving but there’s room left for more.
Here’s to hoping they figure out that staleness is no bueno.

Best popcorn ever. I’ve never been one to go out of my way to buy popcorn, but after trying Uptown Popcorn, no visit to North Park is complete without picking up a few bags of their delicious product.
They offer so many different flavors to choose from both sweet & savory. If you want, they will even mix up the flavors in your bag. My all-​time favorite is Hannah’s Chicago Blend (cheese & buttery caramel). Lately, I also have been leaning towards the Confetti flavor (various fruit flavors) or a mix of Beer & Buffalo Wing. That’s right, beer flavored popcorn!
They have a few other locations around Dallas, so if you can’t make it to North Park, give one of those others a try.

I think I’ve found my new guilty pleasure… I unwittingly stumbled across Uptown Popcorn while doing the mall crawl at Northpark. And let me tell you this isn’t just any ol’ popcorn. This puts movie popcorn to shame fo’ sure!
So while I was gazing googly-​eyed at the menu, the guy at the counter brought me 2 samples of their caramel popcorn varieties. And when I was deliberating on which flavors to get, another sample was given to me. I was convinced at that point I couldn’t live without caramel popcorn. I walked out with 2 JR bags of caramel corn (I got one bag of caramel corn mixed with cheese and butter corn) and another bag of confetti corn (because I’m a sucker for all things that resemble a crayola color palatte).
Verdict: This stuff is so darn addictive in a good way! I’m not making it up! I kept finding myself making my way to the pantry for regular snacking marathons and I’m not even a big snacker. You can’t just put one or two in your mouth and stop. Not going to happen.

Ok, so some might have found the popcorn to be just.average.but how many gourmet popcorn locations are there in comparison to cupcake places? It’s unique and never disappoints. It’s also conveniently located in Northpark Mall by Armani Exchange.
This is a great place to pick up a little something for anyone whether it be your significant other, professor, dad, friend. uptown popcorn has a huge list of different flavored popcorn and a wide variety of gift packaging for any occasion!
There are different lists of popcorn such as, Classic Butter, Savory, Caramel, Corn n Nut Blends, Uptown Blends, Kettle, Candied, Signature. Under all these categories are different flavors. The description of those flavors lie in the category names themselves.
My sister loves the Pickle and Salt & Vinegar combination, which I believe falls under the Savory list. Yeah, I cringed when I first heard my sister order this, but with an open mind I gave it a try, and =O. My tastebuds were shocked. Pleasantly shocked. White cheddar was one of my faves, but I have yet to taste 98% of the menu.
You can choose different sized bags as well. Depending on which category your popcorn falls under, the size of the bags may change. Classic Butter is the cheapest, and Uptown Signature flavored popcorn is significantly more expensive.
Mini $ 1.00−5.50 (I wasn’t kidding when I said Signature flavors are much pricier)
Junior $ 1.50−9.95
Small $ 1.95−15.95
Regular $ 2.95−25.95
Medium $ 3.95−39.95
Large $ 4.95−59.95
XL $ 9.95−110.95
Party $ 15.95−105.95)
My sister and I are able to share a Junior. Remember, these are snacks, not meals. I would get the mini to small bags for gifts. These unique flavors are delicious but may get old to the palate after a while.
You can choose different bags to for any occasion: thank you, get well, birthday, baby, teachers, sports, congrats, good luck, etc. The worker helping you will also ask you if it’s for a boy/​girl and what color ribbon you prefer. The workers aren’t exceptional, but the customer service is adequate. Good enough for me. I just want the popcorn.

Unimpressed. Poor customer service and average tasting popcorn.
The benefit of being able to taste popcorn was actually annoying, as you wait behind someone wanting to taste, they run to the back to get a cup full, then come back. After waiting forever I was finally next in line, behind a woman and daughter. While they were being helped, it was going to be my turn, but the girl runs in front of me to ask the guy who was about to help me for a sample. He obliged, and I waited another few minutes. Like I said, annoying.
In the end, as good as something I could buy at the grocery store without the wait. People that work there never smile. Was not inspired by anything. Won’t be back.

With the holiday’s approaching (seriously, where did 2010 go??), I decided to check out Uptown Popcorn since I pass it all time… Wow! Talk about being creative! If you have a lot of «general» gifts to buy this place is perfect… they have pretty much any flavor you can think of. chocolate peanut butter… jalapeño ranch. beer… and they still have the classic flavors of caramel, cheddar and confetti. Yum yum… if you aren’t sure if you like a flavor, you can try a small snack pack. But with a store like this, I dare you to step outside your comfort zone and try something new… Popcorn anyone?
