Stopped by after an event. There were people already in there complaining about their food so our food was freshly made. The workers barely understood what you were saying so it was kind of frustrating
March 2025
Purple Onion is a must stop when I'm in the area and this location did not disappoint. Had the Greek Chicken Salad which was delicious as was the hummus and pita. My husband had the gyro plate and said it delicious.
September 2024
Had lunch here and the lady who was working the counter and bought my food out was very kind. It was a good meal and a lot of food for the price!
Parking: Large parking lot and easy access the main road and side street.
