The Purple Onion - Colorado Springs

Man, I love that I found this place! The food is unreal! The gal that works the tables and the bars is a beast, she works her butt off, but also makes sure that you're taken care. Hands down the best Gyros I've ever had too;

The food is amazing here. The lamb gyro was perfect. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Fun atmosphere. New favorite restaurant!

My takeaway experience from this place was nothing short of a Greek tragedy. From the get-go, the exterior gave off a vibe of neglect, and stepping inside only confirmed my initial reservations. The ambiance (or lack thereof) was disheartening, reminiscent of a forgotten storeroom rather than a restaurant.Service was a nightmare in itself. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, it was revealed that our order was lost in the void. 25 minutes in, and they didn't even realize they hadn't started on it. The compensation for this oversight? Another extended wait as they scrambled to put something together.When I finally had the food in hand, the disappointment was tangible. The gyro seemed hastily thrown together, a poor imitation of what Greek cuisine should represent.This wasn't just a regrettable takeout experience; it was an utter waste of time. If you value your time, money, and taste buds, I'd recommend you bypass this debacle of a joint. To make it all worse when we arrived, we were the only ones there.

Another great experience. Fresh clean veggies and amazing French fries. We had the meat platter before and fell in love with it. And today we tried gyro over fries 5/5 and the western burger as well was very tasty. I would really recommend this place to any foodie out there.

Stopped in for our first time and could not be happier. The food was delicious with amazing flavors. The service was fantastic. Linda, our server did an excellent job. We will definitely be back.
