I’ve gone in here twice and both times the customer service has been excellent (shout-out to Trina she deserves a raise) – and the food blew me away. Best baklava I’ve had in a decade, the chicken was perfect, and the mint tea is a MUST. Definitely worth it!

I ordered the gyro plate. There was a generous amount of meat, which was well seasoned. The sauce was a good compliment. The plate included rice pilaf, a salad, and pita wedges. The cake wasn’t worth the price though.

Decent food, but rude staff. I arrived early to pickup my order. I was advised it was ready which was fine. I noticed that of the desserts that I would get more bang for my buck my making another selection since it was the same price. One cashier was helping customers and the other was walking around. She walked back up and asked if I was picking up an order in which I replied yes. I saw her grab from the cooks what looked like my phone and when I was about to get her attention before grabbing my dessert she actually grabbed one that had been sitting out. Once she brought the bag to me I asked if I could exchange. She replied “it’s already in the bag, you couldn’t have said something before”. I let that go. As she was walking towards the other cashier she mumbled something under her breath and then the other cashier laughed. When leaving I advised her to learn how to treat her customers. I have had Uber Eats deliver my food before and this was the first time I went to the location. This will be my last time having their food.

Food is always good and fresh never had a bad experience. One thing that really bothered me last time I was there, was the tips. Employees don’t receive the tip on the receipt. I understand it goes to the owner of the business. I really have an issue with that and believe the owner should allow the tips to go to the staff.

I spent $20 on my food and can’t get a free cup of ice. I understand managing cost, but you can’t have a 10 cent cup for free. The food is ok, but you lost my business over a 15 cent cup at the most.

Pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. Free refills (you have to ask) but honestly, I wasn’t impressed with the food. Like, the “bacon” on my baked potato was the cheap hard imitation bacon bits for salads. And something seemed off with the butter.

Meh. No table service. If you eat in you food will be served in styrofoam, plastic dinnerware. Eating in with family on styrofoam just sucks. No olates. No silverware. Other purple onion in other locations are not like this one

The food was good, just very expensive. My husband wasn’t happy with his wings. He said they were tough. May not go back.

I actually didn’t go in, but my husband did and said it was clean, well sanitized and quite customer oriented. Our t/o order included one vegetarian baker and one bbq chicken baker. Presentation is key, and they did not disappoint. When we got home, our orders were exactly as we made them and the ingredients were fresh!!!!!! Requested condiments were in the bag as well. I cannot tell you how many times we’ve gotten home only to find missing ingredients or not what we ordered at all. TY Purple Onion! We will be back.
