Butter Up!

Butter Up is FANTASTIC! I am a true fan! I try to get in there at least every other week! Dragons Breath is my favorite, but the caramel corn is great as well! Always love to go in to see what’s new! The owners are wonderful! Best gift ever this Christmas was a gift certificate to BUTTER UP! YUM!

I REALLY wanted to like this place :(
I’m sad to say an airpopper or whirleypop could make better popcorn. The plan ‘butter’ had an old taste to it. It also had black «dust» on it which from my experience using a popper, means it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. The kettle corn was mediocre. I’ve experienced better stovetop kettlecorn in the comfort of my own kitchen!
The cheese flavor was definitely my LEAST favorite. It was greasy. The caramel was okay… but the humidity outside caused it all to clump together and become very chewy rather than crispy caramel popcorn. Temperatures need to be right in the store if you want to have good popcorn!
The garlic one was pretty decent! It was just a little too much for my liking.
I shouldn’t say that it was awful… but if I’m craving popcorn I’ll head down the street to Marianos where they have the popcorn boxed up for 80 cents.
I do appreciate the variety as well as the amount of extras they have in the store, like big canisters of popcorn salt, candy, icecream and pop!

This popcorn is pheonominal! I am addicted to Dragons Breath which goes great with an ice cold beer! My Friday night ritual usually involves butter up popcorn, dominics pizza and a comic book or two… and i can get it all in one strip mall :)

I could say so much, but I will leave it at this: We have been ruined for any popcorn out of a box. Even movie theater popcorn isn’t quite the same after you try this stuff. There are funky flavors that end up being absolutely delicious. To name some that I can remember: they have a really tasty Frankfort mix of caramel and cheese popcorn, bacon cheddar, there was butterscotch for a short while, white cheddar for the unadventurous :-), and so many more. they alternate flavors pretty regularly and they have new ones all of the time. For all the deliciousness, the price is reasonable. RAVE!!!

You had me at cotton candy! Although I only went in there for Carmel corn, I left with a lot more. I love the variety offered here and woman working the register was all about asking if there was a flavor of popcorn I would like that I didn’t see, hmm. Now I ponder all the popcorn possibilities! Very excited about this place.

My friends and family have shopped at Butter Up since they opened and we have recommended them to many others. Today I stopped in to pick up some popcorn (no other customers were in the store) while the clerk was on the phone and kept me waiting for 12 minutes (personal call with her son’s school about his grades… which should be done on personal time). I informed her after 12 minutes that I was leaving, she said «well this is an important call» to which I responded that the wait was unacceptable. At no time did she ask the called to call back on her personal time. No sooner was I out to my car when she comes storming out of the store (I mistakenly thought to apologize) and starts screaming at me that this was an important call and I was rude. Popcorn is good… but KERNAL SWEETTOOTH ON WHITE STREET IN OLD DOWNTOWN FRANKFORT IS MUCH BETTER AND THE SERVICE THERE BY THE YOUNG LADIES IS PROMPT AND ALWAYS COURTEOUS. Something to remember when you’re in a small business!!!

I’m a big fan of this place and have already been here three times in the past two months. My mom is a big fan of Garrett’s popcorn and will go to the city to get a bag. So when my coworkers mentioned a popcorn place right by the office, I had to try it out.
First of all, they have a good variety of popcorn flavors and some some seasonal ones that change every so often. The staff/​owners are great and give you their full attention.
They always ask if you want a sample and seem eager to make suggestions and recommendations. I have bought the Chicago Mix, cheddar-​bacon, and cheddar-​jalapeño and loved each one.
The store also carries a lot of other snacks like cinnamon pecans and other nuts. I believe I bought the cinnamon pecans… either way, I loved it!
Support a local business and try this place out. Their popcorn is freshly made everyday and you can taste that with one bite!
