Pop Eats Menu, Prices, & Review (2024 Festival of the Arts)

What is more quintessential Festival of the Arts than dipping grilled cheese into a decorated can of tomato soup? That’s precisely what we do at Pop Eats.

This is an extremely popular booth and for good reason: the grilled cheese and soup options are delicious, affordable, and adorable.

We weren’t as impressed with the drink options this year, but that’s okay. Not everything can be a hit all the time. The beer was good, but skip the fancy drink. It looks way better than it tastes, and it just isn’t worth the price.

Check out the specifics below:

When it comes to our reviews and ratings, we thought it would be helpful if you had a better understanding of our personal preferences (what we like and don’t like), along with if there are any dietary restrictions.

Here’s a breakdown of not only who is doing the reviews, but a little more information about what each of us likes and doesn’t like food and drink-wise.

Shannon (Founder)

Likes: Almost everything
Dislikes: Beers that taste “stinky,” anything too salty
Dietary Restrictions: None

Heather (Editor)

Likes: Strong flavors, anything made out of potatoes, white wines, all beers (especially stouts and wheat beers), doesn’t mind sweet (plain fruit is NOT a dessert. Ever.)
Dislikes: Things that are too spicy, anything with a bone still in it, cocktails with too much whiskey or tequila (thanks to having too much fun in college), some red wines, most IPAs
Dietary Restrictions: Shellfish allergy

Felicia (Content Manager)

Likes: Mezcal, savory drinks, stouts/lagers/wheats/sour beers, vinegar, tart/sour items, chocolate, fresh vegetables and fruits, red meat
Dislikes: Ciders, sweet drinks, anything milky or creamy, chili powder, cumin, weirded out by textures, mayonnaise, saucy/wet food, cream-filled pastries, artificial fruit flavors, cooked fruits, frozen items (drinks or ice cream)
Dietary Restrictions: None

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese

Classic mild Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese.
This is a Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine item.

Price: $5.75
Special Diets: Kid-friendly
Rating: 4.7/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Cutest presentation. Solid choice for those of us who love to dip our grilled cheese in tomato soup.
Heather: If you don’t want all that other stuff in your grilled cheese, this is a fantastic option. It’s just so … comforting? Delicious?
Felicia: This is adorable and delicious. Very standard but tasty grilled cheese and the tomato soup is slightly cheesy and salty and perfect. Love this, especially in the chilly January and February weather.

Tomato Soup with Pimento Cheese, Bacon and Fried Green Tomato Grilled Cheese

Classic mild tomato soup with a grilled cheese that is kicked up a notch and includes pimento cheese, bacon, and fried green tomatoes.
This is a Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine item.

Price: $6.50
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 3.7/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: As a person who is generally a fan of everything in this dish, I didn’t love this option. Flavors didn’t go together well. Tasted like cheese mush.
Heather: This might be my FAVORITE thing at this festival. Delicious. Homey. So many flavors. Not too spicy.
Felicia: This is good and has a strong jalapeño bite to it. But there is too much filling in the sandwich and it doesn’t stay together. Both options are good but I like the basic one better.

Rock the Dots White Chocolate and Orange Mousse

Rock the Dots White Chocolate and Orange Mousse with Vanilla Bean Chiffon Cake.

Price: $5.25
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 3.3./5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Cutest presentation, generous size. Love the slight orange taste that comes through.
Heather: It’s aight. Cute presentation, not a lot of flavor.
Felicia: The 3 is for the presentation alone. It’s cute, but the orange tastes artificial and the cake and such is oddly mushy. Not my favorite.

Brooklyn Brewery Pulp Art Hazy IPA

Billed as a beer-for-all, due to its notes of tropical fruit and super smooth finish.

Price: $5.75 (6 oz.) / $9.75 (12 oz.)
Made with alcohol? Yes
Rating: 4.0/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: This is a really good IPA. And I’m not usually an IPA person.
Heather: I honestly don’t know how to describe IPAs other than “hoppy” but this is hoppy in a GOOD way.
Felicia: This is a solid hazy IPA. Not too hoppy but a strong and crisp flavor. Would get this with the grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Blanc de Bleu Cuvée Mousseux with Boba Pearls

This sparkling wine is blue in color and the included Boba pearls add to the uniqueness.

Price: $10.50
Made with alcohol? Yes
Rating: 1.7/5

Our Thoughts

Shannon: Very cute, dry, but don’t love the flavor.
Heather: I don’t understand this drink. Too much going on, and not in a good way.
Felicia: Oh yuck. Tastes like cheap sparkling wine with artificial flavoring. Cute color, though.
