On the road and stopped in. We should have kept going. The food looked delicious it wasn’t. My husband had the beef shish kabob he said it tasted like dirty feet and it was tough. I took a couple bites from my falafel wrap and put it down it was not good at all. Very overpriced for the quality. Bathroom was cleanish but everything was broken toilet paper and paper towel dispensers I would not recommend .

Hidden gem on Hwy 280 for a restaurant with great food and variety of choices. We always love what we try and take advantage of their lunch specials which are really generous for the serving sizes. The cheese fries with paprika and sweet mint tea are our favorites.

One of my go to places for Mediterranean food. First time I’ve tried the Inverness location. Delivery was timely. Baked potato was still hot after a ten mile trip. (There are two closer locations. Not sure why delivery was only available at the Inverness location.) Tabooli salad is delicious and seasoned perfectly. I like that fresh fruit and hummus is included with the large salad. Give them a try.

I love coming to Purple Onion with my Book Club! We usually sit out on the patio because it’s so nice out there. However, this month was just too hot!

This is my last time visiting this location. Not only is the drive thru young lady consistently rude. However tonight I sat at the window while she ate her egg roll before she decided to come take my order. Although, there is never a crowd when I come but the food always takes upwards of 20 minutes to get ready. Then this last visit I saw a total of four roaches 3 in the kitchen area and one right in front of me. I wasn’t able to get the best photo but that’s not a crack that was a roach just crawling around the floor that came from around the counter of the back.

The food was fantastic and the staff was amazing! The cleanliness could have been a little better. although it may have just been not great due to the lunch rush. It was by no means a deal-breaker to eat here. Again the food and staff were amazing! Definitely going to eat there again!

Went to the drive thru to get a chef salad. I got home with the salad and was so disappointed. It was a bed of lettuce, a big hunk of a tomato, onion, and a bell pepper. Very little meat and cheese. It was just thrown together.

Wish it could be no stars…Placed an online order late tonight before they closed(they accepted the order). They locked the doors a few mins early. Okay fine, no problem, I placed a late order and most place lock the doors 5 mins early. They didn’t cancel my order though. I couldn’t cancel or I wouldn’t be refunded. Tried to go to the window when I saw a lady there and she literally ran to avoid me. A full grown lady. They were peeking to see if I was there. A guy came out to get a trash bag and wouldn’t even listen, literally, hardly even looked and was just shaking his head no. Wasn’t trying to order or get anyone to do anything special. I had to yell through the window to say I just have a question. Only wanted to see if they were able to cancel it from their end so I could be refunded(saw a pos system still on) If not, okay fine, but I figured I’d ask. Not once was I rude or trying to ask for anything special. Everybody was very rude, like what. Most places will at-least come to you like “hey, sorry no, we’re closed” but they literally ran. All very grown people. Even when I told the guy I’m not trying to get anything, just had a quick question. Met with rudeness. Had the simplest question, all it need was a “yeah sure” or a “no our systems are all shut down”. Just all felt very unnecessary, hostile and extra. Instead of just coming to the window/taking 2secs to listen and answer a question.

This Purple Onion has gone downhill. Extremely slow service every time I visit. Employees couldn’t care less about good customer service. The wraps are undersized compared to other Purple Onion restaurants. Sadly we will not be going back. I will make the drive to Pelham.
