A nice atmosphere. Food is alwayssssss fresh. Parking not the best, but love, love their food.
We have been here often! The food is always great and I love the variety in options. There's something for everyone even picky kids. The staff are nice and friendly and the service is fast! They have indoor and outdoor seating which is great too!
The purple onion was better than I expected it to be. The exterior was clean and in good condition and I have passed by at least weekly for a couple of years before I decided to stop in. The food was good, the price was right, and the service was on target. The staff was friendly. The interior was well kept and clean.
Hard to think of a place where you can get more menu options than the eclectic offerings of middle eastern food to flat top grill breakfast items to burgers and fries to fish and everything in between. I was wanting to carb load, so naturally, I went with the barbeque baked potato with gyro meet. A massive tater covered with all the fixings and a fountain drink for $15 something is pretty good value. I've never tried their breakfast, but I think it should be pretty good if it comes straight from the flat top grill.
I enjoy the food here. Today I had the mushroom burger. It's probably one of my favorite burgers. Plus it's nice outside so I ate on the patio. This place is open 24 hours too and has always been a favorite. The gyro is great too.
As a late night dining option, I've been to several different purple onions. This location has decent service and has been clean during each of my visits. I'm a fan of the chicken wings, hummus, and shrimp kabobs. They're my go-to options when I need something quick. I came here for lunch a while ago with friends and we sat outside while catching up. I'm a sucker for outdoor seating so that's a feature that draws me here as well.
Went here late after an event last night. They have a variety of food from gyro plates to salmon plates The prices were very reasonable. They do have an outdoor seating as well as indoor and they take all forms of payment. I had the salmon plate and my daughter had the falafel plate. It came with salad bread, rice, meat, and two sauces. The grilled salmon was a little tough but rice was great. My daughter said her plate was great. Will go back and try going back during the day, employees were very nice., they explained what was on the menu and it didn't take a while.
I ordered the potato with chicken. Not disappointed at all - quite delicious! I would be happy to come back some time , as would everyone at the event of 30 people.
