Really enjoyed my experience. Authentic, delicious, quick. Had a variety of seating arrangements that made our experience enjoyable. Really nice people. Chicken wrap, gyro, and hummus were delicious. I like how they wrapped our gyro and wrap, made it easier to eat and handle.

I had heard that this place was one of the popular Mediterranean spots, so my expectations were fairly high. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I ordered a vegetarian pita, which turned out to be quite bland. There was very little hummus and tahini sauce, and the falafel was extremely dry and lacked flavor. The French fries were also very basic and tasteless, and no dipping sauce was provided, which I feel is essential with this kind of food.
The chicken pita was just okay—nothing special, but not terrible either. Additionally, the staff did not seem to understand instructions clearly. Overall, this was a poor experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I ordered the salmon , it came with rice, a salad, hummus, Fruit, and pita bread. The plate was so good I also ordered pan fried vegetables to the side it came with red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms . Everything was hot , It was made with care. They really went the extra mile, the customer service was A1. I forgot to take a picture the food was so good.
Thanks for providing good and hot worthy food.

Had a burger which was recommended by a friend. It was good but nothing that stood out. The fries were cooked excellently. I know this is a popular place and I would have liked to try the kebab or gyros. Which may have been better than the burger. Still good quick food. Nothing to complain about

I’ve been going to this location for 20+ years now, dating back to my college days. The service can get a little slow at peak times, but otherwise we always have a great experience with both the service and the food.
I highly recommend the Chick in a Sack along with some cheese fries. And I always, always, ALWAYS look forward to treating myself to their sweet tea: it is delicious (not your typical sweet tea, so be expecting something a little different).
Outdoor seating is available and it is covered along with fans during the hotter times and warmers during the cooler times.

Casual comfort food. The chicken kabob and gyro plate are excellent , good portions and a quality meal. I love the big baker for nights when you need a hug…simple goodness and I like to add gyro meat. Burgers, Gyros and fries are solid and the chick in a sack is a family favorite. Pita and hummus are delicious and the mint iced tea is a treat. This is a great meal in a chill environment.

We have been long time customers of the Purple Onion. It seems no matter which one you visit (they have seven locations around the “Ham”) they always have good quality for a very reasonable price. If you are looking for good food, quick service and a good price this is your place. I wouldn’t come for the atmosphere.
They have kept up with customers tastes by adding “extras” like burritos and other choices. Gyro sandwiches and salads are always great and plentiful amounts.
I will definitely be going back!

The Purple Onion literally keeps the working class fueled up with delicious and healthy cuisines. I placed an early morning order which was followed to the T. Employees at this location were warm and helpful. Thank you to them all!

OMG, The Purple Onion is soooo awesome! We were looking for a place that was open late so we wouldn’t be walking in right before they close, used Google and found this place, open late with all the great reviews too. I had the beef kabobs and my hubby had a steak baked potato with a side of grilled mushrooms….y’all, it was delicious!! They were very quick and it was made fresh! Don’t underestimate it from how it looks on the outside; it will definitely surprise you!
