Food was fair, waitress was awesome. However, it took 35 minutes for our breakfast to arrive.
We have eaten here numerous times over the years, probably our last. Always the same, the kitchen is beyond slow.

My wife & I ate breakfast there 5/10/24….I didn’t get the waitress’s name. Service was good. The food was delicious, my wife got blueberry French toast & I got a bacon,egg & provolone cheese croissant along with a side bowl of milk gravy both meals were delicious !! We would highly recommend !! Thank you Purple Onion for a great experience !! Yes, we even took home some baked goods !! Yummy !! May God bless y’all !! ❤️❤️

Rude hostess that wouldn’t seat my family until I arrived! I was coming there from physical therapy and was less than 5 mins away! Made my family wait outside in the cold and rain until I arrived! Won’t support them anymore after this experience!
