    Coleslaw... really? Can it be any smaller?
    Darth R.

    Ordered 2 sandwiches, one a whole cheesesteak and the other a 1/2 meatball plus fry's and a coleslaw. Price: $30.73. First, the bad: It took 37 minutes to get our food. Now if this was a regular restaurant maybe that might not be too bad. However, this is a fast food restaurant with drive through only access. No inside ordering or seating. Drive thru style is similar to Pals, drive in and order on one side then drive around the other to pay and pick up food. That is where the similarities end. As opposed to sudden this service this was glacial! There was only one vehicle in front of me when I pulled in to order and one sitting on the other side at the pickup window. Not really a rush crowd for around 1:00 in the afternoon. Oh yes, and that 37 minutes was from after I ordered until I got the food. Coleslaw was a joke. Was in one of those little plastic cups that are used for condiments or salsa. Tasted like that coleslaw in a bag you are supposed to mix with dressing but without the dressing. Dry, tasteless, totally undersized portion (although we couldn't eat it anyway). Next what could be better: meatball sandwich was just ok. Sorry we ordered it but we ate it... well, most of it anyway. Last the good: cheesesteak was pretty good. Nowhere as good as Charley's Steakery or Jersey Mike'sSubs. The fry's were good albeit smaller than McDonalds small. Summary: Don't waste your time or money.

    they have good food but you will wait forever in the line trying to get your food , don't recommend !

    Chat between me and Purple Cow with me requesting if we could walk up to the window and order

    I've always loved Purple Cow since the first time I've ever ate here. With all the crap this wonderful business has been thru they still treat their customers as important as ever !!! I was surprised to visit today and find out that they still allowed us to walk up and order thru the drivethru despite the COVID-19 mess and despite the previous issue they have had where some idiot done something stupid. Anyways on with the review !! We ordered about $53 dollars worth of food and everything was great (was a pretty big order) only issue was someone put a cheeseburger in the bag instead of a mushroom Swiss and the slice of cheesecake missed the bag (it happens)- HOWEVER, I'm guessing it was the manager met me in the parking lot and said "Uh oh that don't look good" and I explained it was a simple mistake on a big order totally understandable. The manager suggested faster service to go back to the ordering side of the restaurant and even walked around to make sure there wasn't a line and that I would be taken care of much faster and then even asked an employee who was in line getting him something before coming into work to move back so I could be taken care of even faster !!! As ALWAYS I'm very pleased with the service here at Purple Cow and the food as well but today with how I got taken care of by the manager on duty adds to the pleasure of doing business with Purple Cow !!! Not to mention this picture below is a chat between me and purple cow and how they responded to my request about walking up !!!

    a chocolate cupcake in a plastic container

    This was not a great experience. First, 2 hamburger steaks were $15 each!!! We spent $64 and we wish we hadn't. We had previously looked at the menu online that stated that the hamburger steaks were $8!!! This was not true!! The burger was so dry it was hard to swallow!! Secondly, I ordered a chocolate cheesecake and it was like absolutely drowning in hot fudge!! I mean I struggled to find the cheesecake under all the chocolate!! To claim you have Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is very false!! It said it was a chocolate cheesecake and that's what I expected, not drowning in chocolate!! You would think that the chocolate would be INCORPORATED in the cheesecake filling!!! I would not recommend this place to anyone!! I would much rather drive to The Dairy Cup in Church Hill for a good meal. I will not be eating there again.

    Purple Cows. A hot dog squirting ketchup on its head. Why wouldn't you want to give this place a try? Lol. On our way to TN I took out my handy Yelp App and searched for a lunch spot. Came across Purple Cow. Thanks Yelp family! This place is drive through only. No seating or parking. Just grab your food and go. There is a McDs nearby along with a bunch of other food places. You can always park somewhere and eat in your car. We stood outside and used our car trunk as a table :P The drive through line was quite long when we arrived. That's gotta be a good sign right? It was! They offer burgers, sandwiches, shakes, and so much more. I'll post some pics of their menu. Pricing is great for the amount of food they give. It's a LOT and everything we tried was a hit. Service is very friendly. They do their best to be quick. It took me 2 mins just to figure out what I wanted. Their menu is incredibly extensive. They even have pictures of specials posted around the pick up window that aren't on their menu board. Skip the chains and head over here instead. You'll be glad you did. Come hungry or ready to share.

    Came for breakfast with my parents, left after a cup of coffee. The thing is, we were lured in by…read moretheir expansive menu, hoping for a good, filling, southern breakfast. But when we arrived, right after they opened on a Sunday morning, we were told that they only serve "what we refer to as 'brunch' on Sundays", and were handed paper menus with five items on it. Slightly confused, hoping we could still order off of their main menu, we waited for the waitress to return with our coffee (three Americanos and one latte). And we waited. And then we waited. And we waited some more. While we waited, three other parties came in, sat down, questioned the menu, then got up and left. Had it been just us that had that reaction to the abbreviated menu, I would have voted to woman up and just stay put. I didn't want to be "those tourists" who get all riled up about something local that doesn't fit their expectations. But once we (finally!) got our coffee and asked the waitress for clarification, we realized we had to go. The menu was the menu. Their sides - which are referenced on the menu but are never explained - were lackluster for the "base" and even less impressive for the "premium" options, which of course would have cost us even more money. That, paired with the uninspired and surprisingly one-note menu just drove us right out the door. My latte was at least delightful, but that's all I can say. Also, the place was likely very clean, because we were hit by a powerful smell of disinfectant and/or cleaner when we walked in. And finally, the waitress removed my menu after she saw me taking a picture of it. She didn't touch anybody else's menu, just mine.

We received our order and the first thing out of the bag was the fruit bowl. The pictures showed strawberries, cantaloupe, and blueberries. Picture will be posted. No strawberries and very thinly sliced cantaloupe. Then I pull out the bbq 1/2 sandwich. There is only a very tiny amount of chicken on the middle of the half sandwich. Hey they put a good amount of bbq on there. Pictures posted on this as well. If this is the amount of food you get on the sandwiches there will be one less Panera bread customer. So I called thinking surely there was a mistake. Manage says we have measuring cups for the food and it was indeed correct. They didn't have strawberries for the fruit cup so they couldn't give any. No apologies, no added other fruit or more of one of the other fruits. When I stated the chicken was only in the middle part of the sandwich she stated once again they have measuring cups for that. I surely hope Panera is not that stingy with their food that comes at premium prices.. I'm telling you if I could give it a zero I would. I ate bbq bread, thin slices of cantaloupe and a few blueberries. Soup cups 1/2 full, I can only imagine they use measuring cups for that as well.. What little circle of chicken I did eat was ok. The 1/2 cup (bowl according to them) was warm and Thank Goodness my daughter was sick because the half "bowl/cup" would not have been enough otherwise. Absolutely do not recommend and won't be back.
