Reviews for The Purple Onion in Colorado Springs, CO
Cool staff, hot food for a good time. The restaurant is a pub/sport bar setting so I was a little suspicious of how good the... food could be. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the gyro wrap with fries and a lemon drop shot. The shot was the right mix ofsweet and sour. The gyro was generous with the meat with lots of fresh veg on top. The fries though?so fresh and hot. Iliterally hovered them before I even touched the wrap. I just took a star off because I think the wrap had a little too muchsauce/seasoning sprinkle. But if you like heavy seasoning, you will have no complaints here. Side note: the owners seem toreally care about making sure you enjoy your meal which is nice to see. Read more
We are in Colorado Springs on a trip and happened to find this gem. The food was so good and looks just like the pictures. We... had a gyro on fries, and a chicken bowl. It was delicious. What a great find. Read more

That was a fantastic gyro, and only cost me $10. Fries were nice and crisp, gyro was big and packed with flavor. I didn't sit... down at the restaurant to eat but the bar looked it had tasty cocktails and was a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be comingback with friends! Read more
Big Shout out first of all to Kaylee. we look forward to seeing you again. you definitely are a main factor in this place... getting a 5 star review. Onto the food which was just as phenomenal as the service. the naan bread and humus to start wasamazing. best humus I've had in a long time. tzatziki sauce was fresh and perfect. gyro was different in a very good way thanany gyro I've ever had. the meat platter was out of this world amazing. the double meat philly cheesesteak was great and Iappreciate Kaylee so much for recommending to add mushrooms and jalapenos. made it even better. the hot sauce they make has arobust and amazing flavor. however proceed with caution as it is hot. a drop or two per bite is perfect for me. if you lovespicy try it and also buy a bottle to take home as they sell it. if you don't like spicy be very careful. cant wait to comeback and try more of your amazing food.

Service was terrible because we waited 40 minutes for food. There was 6 other people and 3 people at the bar. The waitress... brought us someone else?s olives and feta. She also forgot both the falafel and the baclava. The flavor of the steak in my ricebowl tasted like it was rolled in mild Taco Bell sauce. Yuck. The other flavors were probably appropriate, just not our style.Fries and Pepsi were spot on! Read more
So glad I stumbled upon this place!! I actually walked in about 2 seconds after they opened for the day, and I felt horrible!... Who eats lunch that early?! But the owner was overly accommodating and took my order. Within 5 minutes I had my gyro salad. SOgood ????especially with the homemade spicy sauce. Although the place was empty...because it's a restaurant/bar....and I waspractically there in the morning ???????, you can tell it's a fun place. It was extremely clean and fairly priced. I wish thissmall business owner nothing but success! Read more
Just stopped by for lunch. We ordered the liquid marijuana (melon cocktail), lamb/beef gyro, gyro salad, and baklava. The food... was great, brought out quickly. There was only one person working and not many customers. Read more
