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.
Stepping in to this popcorn shop is like stepping back in time!
Johnson's is a blend of kettle corn and caramel corn, and the crunchy clusters of popcorn are so easy to snack on that your bucket will be empty before you even know what happened.
This caramel corn is a classic boardwalk food, and it makes for a great beach snack!
Johnson's also sells holiday tins and gift baskets, so if you can't always make it to the coast, you can order some to come to you.
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.
Visit Johnson's Popcorn online to find their locations and hours, plus an online shop that will send a bucket of this famous popcorn right to your door.
