The restaurant is built in what used to be a house, which makes it a very interesting and unique concept. The steak was really good, and the portion was plenty for a big eater like me. The cornbread was also delicious, but the absolute highlight was the bourbon bread pudding. Honestly, it was probably one of the best things we had! Definitely a place I'd come back to. Great food and portions, and that bread pudding is a must-try!

Honest Review Rating: 2.5 / 5…read moreAtmosphere & Service: The diner has a quiet, traditional, old-school feel that caters well to an older crowd. The space is clean, and the staff was friendly, organized, and welcoming. Keep in mind that they operate on specific serving hours rather than staying open for the menu which reflects their more classic, traditional style. Food & Drinks: Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations. The burger was decent, though minimal--served with only ketchup and no other condiments. The steak ended up being just ground meat topped with a slice of melted cheese. The fries were generic, frozen-cut style similar to what you'd get at a ballpark, and the coffee was surprisingly watered down, which was disappointing for a classic diner. Verdict: While it's a friendly and clean spot for anyone looking for simple, straightforward American that just meets the bar without any fuss, the food quality means we won't be returning.

They charged me 3.5% for using my credit card to pay for my meal. That bank charge is one of their costs of business (what is next, charging for the dish soap they use to wash your plate?) and is therefore a deductible business expense. But for me, since I cannot write it off, that 3.5% just increases my cost of dining out. I know restaurant margins are slim, but I'm pinching pennies, too, so I won't be going back to this restaurant.

My daughter & I ordered the scallops, and because the menu specified U10 scallops I thought they would be the large ones. They were almost the size of a half-dollar and there were 3, for $37. The dish was weird with split pea puree in risotto and English peas on top. The scallops tasted fishy and were tough. It was disappointing. I wish I had ordered the cheeseburger. My husband ordered the pork dish and it was really good, but the potatoes were undercooked. I think the idea of the Indian influence is fun, but the execution needs a little more attention for the price point.

Ordered the Soul Rolls and just WOW. A egg roll type wrap filled with seasoned ground beef, greens and Mac N Cheese. With Brown Gravy. MMM. Could be a meal by itself. Friend ordered Fried Green tomatoes. No complaints from him. Perused the menu with the Wednesday special being Meatloaf, 2 sides and a drink. ($11.99). I ordered meatloaf was delightful dense meat... not many fillers smothered in brown gravy. A side of Mac N Cheese and Okra.. SO MUCH TO EAT. Friends got the Swai fish with Yams and Green beans. Second friend had Catfish with cabbage and okra. They both loved their individual plates, had enough to create a to go plate for later. And don't get me started on the Banana Puddig for all 3 of us. MMM. Support this business. They do Soul cooking excellence.

Let me be clear up front: the food was amazing. We had the fried chicken wings, catfish, sweet…read morepotatoes, cabbage, fried okra, black-eyed peas, and cornbread--and not one thing disappointed. The flavors were on point, well-seasoned, and cooked with care. I especially enjoyed the fried chicken, the cabbage, and those black-eyed peas--pure comfort food done right. I do want to share one note for transparency. The catfish entrée came with one piece of fish. It was a nice size (unfortunately I didn't grab a picture), but I'm used to receiving two fillets with a catfish entrée, so that part was a little disappointing for the price. We also ordered a catfish sandwich to go, and while this didn't take away from the overall experience, an additional piece of fish would better match expectations. Now let me give credit where it is absolutely due. The young woman working the front--Ariel (I believe it's spelled A-R-I-E-L, and I apologize if I missed that)--was phenomenal. She was cashier, to-go coordinator, and full-on mama energy, handling everything with grace, patience, and a great attitude. Even as it started getting busy (you know how folks roll in after church), she still made space for friendly chit-chat while keeping everything moving. Another thing I truly appreciated: the place was clean. And for me, that matters. Spotless, inviting, and the only thing in the air was the smell of that delicious food--no distractions, no off-putting odors, just good cooking doing what it's supposed to do. The food is served in to-go containers and everything is cooked to order, so expect a little bit of a wait--but honestly, who would mind waiting for food prepared this fresh? Overall, this was a great experience with great food and excellent service. I'll definitely be back--and hopefully next time there's just a little more catfish on the plate.

The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with purple accents and purple pig décor throughout, giving it a unique personality. They also play throwback old-school music, which adds to the cool vibe. One thing that really stands out is the owners. They're incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer recommendations if you're having trouble deciding what to order. They also offer a military discount, which is always appreciated. I ordered the Texas-sized loaded baked potato topped with brisket, cheese, green onions, and their sweet BBQ sauce. It was absolutely delicious and loaded with flavor. My husband always goes for the brisket plate with a side of mac and cheese, and it's his favorite meal every time we visit. I also tried the cream corn, which was different from any I've had before. It had a peppery kick that gave it a unique flavor. To drink, we shared their homemade grape lemonade. While it wasn't very lemonade-forward, it instantly reminded us of those grape Pixy Stix from back in the day, bringing back a fun dose of nostalgia. Great food, friendly owners, a welcoming atmosphere, and solid portions make Purple Pig BBQ a place we'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Schertz area!

The theme, "Purple Pig" is genius. The people working here are really nice…read more The ambience is okay. Old school music was good but the volume was too much to bear. How can you relax and have a conversation with your friends or a date if you can't hear yourselves think? The service is nonexistent and that's fine because it's your basic fast food concept. Not a problem. However, the food is more industrial based than true Texas BBQ. My brisket was very dry. They slather a lot of BBQ sauce on top of your meat. Why? Because the meat is either old or dry or both. Mine was very dry. The beans were drenched in sugar. The Mac and Cheese lacked (cheese) taste. We love good BBQ. This is not good BBQ. Compare to the Burnt Bean in Sequin and you will understand. The burnt bean runs out of product leaving long lines for their food; it's real BBQ, fresh homemade food. You can taste it.
