Great Lakes Popcorn

My boyfriend and I stopped in here and got just some regular popcorn. He likes popcorn so well we got a large bag of it. It was such a disappointment. The popcorn was so stale! It had a terrible taste. If we weren’t out of town I would have taken it back and demanded my money back. Believe me their prices are outrageous! I don t see the hipe about this place at all. I did call about it and they could have cared less about a dissatisfied customer. Needless to say we will never be going back there again!

We stopped here en-​route to Sandusky, OH. Well, I think is better than Garrett’s Popcorn since there are more than the 4 standard variety of popcorn. Well, the parking situation is tight so just circle around until a free spot opens up. Plus, I really appreciate that the staff allowed us to sample multiple popcorn flavors until we narrow it down to a few to take home. I ended up eating my buttermilk vanilla crush with peanuts over 2 days. Kristina had the Columbus and Chicago mix popcorn so we were able to enjoy over this week.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a popcorn fiend. As in I will eat only popcorn for dinner a few times a month. My husband and I stay in the Port Clinton area several times during the year and always pop in here to try some samples and take home a bag or two.
Sometimes it can be a little crowded and the line system isn’t clear to some people so take note that if a silver tray is open and you are next in line do everyone else a favor and walk up to it to ask for samples. Don’t stand there and stand there and stand there.
You can also mix flavors. The most recent savory mix that we tried was Pepper pot (jalepeno) and bacon cheddar. YUM! We used to always get the wild walleye which is a cajun mix but lately it makes us sneeze which detracts from popcorn enjoyment. The salt/​sweet mixtures are also good. We like the Columbus mix which is white cheddar and vanilla butternut. It’s a fun place to take kids and you can sample as many flavors as you want before settling on one for your bag.

If you love popcorn, you have to stop in here! They’ll give you samples of their newest and most popular flavors of popcorn. They have the old fashioned caramel popcorn but I love the toffee flavors! Good place to find a gift for someone that’s difficult to buy for.
The employees are very friendly and helpful!
