The chicken is the best in Kentucky. The green beans were country style and awesome. Then the mashed potatoes with bacon and pepper gravy was awesome also. I definitely recommend this place. Just had the chocolate pecan pie with bourbon sauce with butter pecan ice cream, that was the best I ever had.
We visited the Purple Poulet for my son's birthday. The whole experience was perfect! The food was top notch (best fried chicken) & the waitress was wonderful! Also, if you like bourbon selections, I would highly recommend this place!
Went to restaurant tonight with family and ordered chicken per ratings. I found the chicken to be so salty that after one chicken leg, I couldn’t eat more- all of my family agreed it was way too salty. Perhaps it was a bad night but I was extremely disappointed.Sweet potato mash was good, but not hot. Pecan pie and ice cream were overpowered by alcohol and after two forks of it, I was done.
