Nothing hits quite like delicious boardwalk food. Not only do you get the flavors you love, but every bite comes with a dose of nostalgia and that salt-air flavor that can’t quite be replicated anywhere else. One of our favorite boardwalk snacks is Johnson’s Popcorn in Ocean City, New Jersey. It’s truly an iconic New Jersey food!

Johnson's Popcorn was established in 1940 on the Ocean City, New Jersey boardwalk. It's been a family favorite for generations, and every summer people drive from all over just to grab themselves a bucket.

There are multiple locations on the Jersey Shore now, but the best popcorn will always come from their original Ocean City location.

Snacking on a bucket of caramel corn or peanut cluster popcorn is a rite of passage at the Jersey Shore - just like stuffing your face with salt water taffy and getting taken out by a wave that you definitely underestimated.
