We eat breakfast here every time we come to the beach. The staff is always so friendly and the food is delish! I was just coming to their page to make sure they were open tomorrow 😂 then it asked me if I’d recommended The Purple Onion. 10 out of 10 recommended!!
I can’t recall ever having a bad experience here. And if I did, it’d be okay because we all have bad days every now and then.
We love coming here whenever we’re on vacation at Holden Beach! But we also come several times throughout the year just to specifically eat here!! Worth the 2-hour drive every time! Just went a few weeks ago for a day trip to eat here and it was top tier, as always!
Great Food. Nice Atmosphere. Service second to none. Our waitress (Ayden) made visit outstanding, she has such a warning greeting and spirited. you don't meet many people in life like her. My wife and cousin thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We will be back.
