I love the purple onion. One of my favorite sandwiches is their garden burger and onion rings. I don’t know if maybe they were having a bad night but on a recent visit my garden burger patty was cold and the onion rings were fried perfectly but unseasoned. Parking: This restaurant has maybe 7 parking spots for non handicapped and 3 handicapped and at times gets pretty busy. They do have other spots reserved for service at drive thru. Some street parking but don’t count on any spots on weekend nights as it is in a pretty busy nightlife area.

Probably one of the worst locations in the city. Constant turnover in staff. Horrible customer service. Always get the wrong order. Sometimes they just don’t answer the phone. Lazy and unhelpful.

Arrived for lunch at 11am. Zero other customers. Was ignored at the counter for about 2 minutes and then placed order (grilled chicken sandwich, gyro, chick tenders and a plain hamburger - which was over $40 bucks). 30 minutes later we still did not have our food and I was basically told off about it when I asked - apparently they “had a really big order working”. Lady working the counter then proceeded to cuss out another drive up customer in earshot of our small kids. When we finally got our order, most of it was wrong, and all of it was terribly overcooked and under seasoned.

Soooooo………… I ordered the Falafel meal and the high price that it is, I get brunt falafels (they where beyond hard) and a really small salad, no pita bread, fake humus ( they gave me a sour cream substitute and did not tell me) and a deli slice of a pineapple and a deli slice (one each) of an orange. I mentioned this with the staff (no accommodations just confused faces and an “I forgot to mention that there was no more humus”) and informed them that they must do better. This is not the Purple Orion that I remember while on the university. Just sad.
