Food was amazing . Got the swamp basket and it was worth it !!!!! And our waiter was on point . Originally from Texas but I will be coming back when I pass by again read more

So I've been wanting to try this place for a while now, but since we are not from the cabin area, our timing is key. Finished up a volleyball game and wanted something good to eat before we headed home. My entire family has eaten here, but I have not. So we had it on over and I got to try it. We ordered the barbecue nachos and bacon wrapped jalapeños. Both were really food! The wonton chips are my absolute favorite when it comes to nachos! Jalapeño bites were awesome. My daughter and I crushed those in a heart beat! I ordered the white wing plate and it was ok. It supposed to be stuffed with cheese and jalapeños, but my guess is all the cheese cooked out or there was so little of it that it evaporated! If they can figure out how to keep the cheese present then it would be great. But since the cheese was not present, the chicken was on the drier side. Side Caesar salad was ok. Dressing was generic and plentiful! Everybody enjoyed the meal. We will go back and try some different items next time. read more

The food and service were great. This is a relatively large facility with different eating and drinking areas The only negative thing was I did not care for the rap music nor its level (loud) read more

The ribeye I got was so good and cooked just right (medium). Our server was great he was very attentive, cant remember his name tho.

This place is really good they have amazing shrimp the employees are really nice and they get the food out within like 20 minutes so it's a little slow but it's only because there are a lot of people there pretty much every time you go I recommend this place I've been going here for a while now. But it is loud so you might want to get a seat away from other people. read more

Service, food, and drinks are always on point! The menu changes and they do offer a seasonal menu, which I love! They have a lot of different options to choose from. read more

Service and food were excellent!! Will definitely return. We had the boudin balls, gator bites, gumbo and okra. All were cooked to perfection without any hot sauce, salt or pepper needed. read more

The restaurant was very clean, well spaced out tables and the food was amazing! I would highly recommend! read more

Six visits. Six wrong orders. we learned after our first take-out order to carefully check our order. at the counter before we leave. The servers usually act very annoyed with us even though every order we have initially received was someone else's. by the time we have or orders, it is already cold. I'm sure the food would be good enough, but none of it fares well in the microwave. As expensive as Purple onion is, your food shouldn't be cold. read more

The food was terrible. The service was bad also. I will not go here anymore! What an awful experience!!!

The food was delicious and service was excellent. It is decorated with "hole in the wall" vibes but certainly a great atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Despite the frequent crowds, the crab dip and oysters were exceptionally delectable, making my family's dinner outing a memorable experience

I've been there multiple times and it has been the same repeated experience... The food is always iffy, super greasy or over cooked The wait staff is not the best, it's taken almost 15 minutes for a waiter to even come take my drink order Definitely will not be back!!! read more

Food and service were good. Enjoyed the fish and chips. Not much else to add. The ambiance was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Food was great and came out real quick! Catfish was a little salty then I like but would definitely eat here again!

I've eaten here several times. Overall I enjoy it, but the service is very mediocre. The food is good, but nothing to write home about. Atmosphere is good for getting together with groups, especially to watch games. read more

Good quality for the price Good atmosphere and great service Wait staff are friendly and attentive read more

Great service, great atmosphere, great food, I had the swamp basket and it was awesome, my server Lyanna kept coming around to check on me. Highly recommend read more

appetizers, entrees, and desserts was overall delicious and comes in large portions for the low price. our nachos had generous amount of toppings, the chips were a little underfried tho. they have specialty drinks that were so good and came out quick. their bread pudding was the best I've had and was huge. our waiter checked on us often, even when it got busier and provided us with everything we needed and cleared used plates off our table quickly, making room. this place has a good amount of parking and seating areas. we came during a game playing, so it was kind of loud, but they have plenty of screens covering multiple angles so all could watch. read more

We came to eat for 4 birthdays on a Saturday night (3/1/25). The orders were taken right, the food was brought out hot, and the tickets were right at the end. I think our server was Kylee and she was very patient and accommodating. We appreciate the great service. read more

Went with my mom. Ordered Crawfish Etouffe and gumbo. Both were lukewarm at best. They came out quickly, but not warm at all. Also not seasoned at all. I don't think I have ever had a cajun dish that needed so much salt. Added salt, hot sauce, etc. Had to ask the waitress twice to reheat the crawfish etouffe. Would not come back here for sure. I asked my mom about the catfish and she said not that great. Tons of cars out front so there must be something good? read more

The food was excellent. Their portions were great! My mom and I were able to share the shrimp pasta. The staff showed great service. Everyone was friendly. read more

Purple Onion - Bread pudding - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Cabot, Arkansas

While the food is good, it's extremely loud. Tried the drive thru service because of this, quality fell through the container it came in.

The service was good. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The food however was terrible. Extra greasy and lacked flavor. It was overly salty sometimes too. The cleanliness of the place is lacking. The table and booth we were sat at were all sticky and had crumbs. I will not be dining here again. read more

Great food and great service we are regulars to the restaurant. Pretty short wait times.

Nice atmosphere, clean tables, good service. The food was good! This establishment is 4 stars all day long. They have a traditional dining room and a sports bar. I recommend you stop by the Purple Onion! read more

Restaurant was very busy-but service was still fast! Food was amazing! I'm from Michigan and this is my second visit to the Purple Onion. Plan to make this a special stop anytime I come here! read more

The Cajun catfish was AMAZING. I knew the minute I got here that this place must be good because it was packed on a Wednesday. Don't blame the wait time on them giving great food. I've had catfish that had a funny taste or was over spiced. Not this fish. It was just right. There was a lot of fried okra and a decent amount of rice. The mash potatoes had this gravy that I've not had before. I liked it very much. All together, in a single word, "smooth". Everything together smoothly supported each other. Oh yeah, service was awesome. read more

It was our 25 th Anniversary driving towards Hot Springs and stopped to eat. This place sounded good on Yelp by the reviews. The parking lot was packed. But we didn't even have to wait to be seated. This place was hoping. Everyone looked like the was having a good time. Our order was taken quickly our Bloody Mary's and alligator bites came out quick. We was full so we didn't order anything else. I would love to go back here again. This place was clean. read more

BEST.FOOD.EVER. Great chicken Great service! The ambiance is Amazing! One of the best restaurants ever! read more

I've gotten food from here and sometimes it was okay. Sometimes terrible. Salty but bland and dry. I'm done getting food from here.

Great food at a great restaurant. Great service from a very friendly and attentive staff.

Waited so long to even get my pickup order because the workers were just looking at me and walking by and then standing around and talking. It wasn't til I finally approached a worker asking to get helped when I was clearly at the pickup station waiting for a while was when I finally got my food. read more

Service was okay...slow. The food honestly is not good. Too salty....catfish is thin and over cooked. The kids meal chicken and fries were almost burnt. I mentioned to waitress the Gumbo was over salted and served cold. She did warm it up but I just wanted a different item but it was not offered. It's a good location. read more

Wide range of food at time I went. Food was well cooked and we enjoyed. I would say give them try

Every visit has been beyond pleasant. Very quick service, and always had a great experience and a sense of the waiter/waitresses checking in the food has been pretty good and a sense of meeting quality and quantity I feel like the price of food is fair. By far our favorite at this restaurant is there pork nachos. We did go there for a brunch and the chicken and waffles was amazing. Probably one of our favorite restaurants here in Cabot Arkansas. read more

This place is a gem (Amethyst) within Cabot, AR! The food is very good. I had pasta with shrimp and crab. The dish was very flavorful and it comes with a slice of garlic bread. The bread had just the right crunch on the edges with the crust and pillowy soft interior. It is the right amount of garlic and butter as well. Our server recommended getting a second slice when I ordered; he was right. I look forward to going back because there were many other entrees on the menu that looked equally delicious. My guests each had the breaded chicken salad which was a generous helping. The food also comes at a very fair price and for military they offer a 10% discount. Did I say I would be back? :) read more

From the daily drink specials to the soulful Cajun food this restaurant never fails at being a dinner spot. But, that wasn't enough for the Purple Onion, they had to bring a killer brunch into the mix. Always a go to for the family and I. Top dishes for the family and I are the bourbon st salmon, the grilled shrimp, and really any of the burgers! Get there on a Thursday for some fresh oysters on the half shell! read more

First time here, after a very long day. We have a new restaurant ! Everything was good!! Hot, fresh and good service. We had drinks, appetizers & main course. (No room for dessert). Portions are large, menu is diverse with many options. read more
