    My spouse and I have been going to Purple Onion for the past 21 years. We frequently stop by for breakfast before church on Sundays and other mornings, as well as lunch and dinner from time-to-time. Their broiled pork chops are the best I've ever eaten! Their salads are fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented. They were ahead of the times by featuring buffalo burgers on their menu way before many other south suburban restaurants did so. I fondly remember bringing my friend, her mother, and her mother's friend here and we ALL ordered buffalo burgers- for the novelty of it! My spouse and I very much enjoy the "home away from home" feeling at the "Purple Onion".The owners and waitresses are sincerely friendly and we are not rushed out of our booth to make way for incoming patrons. We have often brought our company here, with favorable comments from them. We enjoy the quiet time to just sit and talk while we let "Purple Onion" take care of us when we need a break from home. We are appreciative to have this family fare restaurant nearby with its cozy atmosphere.

    I generally love diners.  I do not love this diner.  The food is pretty terrible and has been for about 20 years.  Every time i drive by i wonder how in the hell it has remained open.

    Been to the Purple Onion a couple of times in the past.  Truth be told food is not that good.  I had the roast pork with dressing and quite honestly it is terrible.  I thought I had just gotten a bad plate so I ordered it again a second time a few months later.  Nope, it is bad, worst I ever had hands down.  Just doesn't taste right. On another occasion I found a long hair in my food...an open faced hot turkey sandwich. Yes, I suppose this happens occasionally but I told the manager and he did not do anything about it!  He just looked surprised, had no idea what to say, acted dumb and pretty much had an oh well attitude.  On the plus side the dinner salads are large and loaded with dressing, and the rolls are good too.

    Went here with my girlfriend. I'm a breakfast sandwich guy, and this place was solid.  Got a croissant sandwich with egg, cheese, and sausage with some hashbrowns. Put the hashbrowns on the sandwich, a little hot sauce.  Killer.

    I like my food like I like my women......rubbery and flavorless.  The Purple Onion has never been a bastion of good food.  But I got dragged here regardless.  At first I was hopeful, the menu looked new and the pictures actually made me want to try things.  It worked out that I was with a decent group and got to try a few thing on the menu.  The best thing we got was OK.  There was a garlic chicken pasta dish that sounded like awesomeness that failed most epic.  There was no garlic flavor.....How in the world does a dish with garlic in the name not have any garlic flavor?!?!  Someone also got a gourmet beef pesto sandwich that sounded good and then disappointed.  The beef was crazy dry and there was minimal pesto.  But hey, the roasted red pepper was good.  This place is not that good, but on the plus side it never made me sick.

    I went here once, regret it. I don't mean to insult but I just really did not enjoy this place. poor service and almost inedible food. Way too large of a menu, it's almost impossible to decide. I ended up ordering fish and chips and it was not enjoyable. I drive by this place often and see the back door of the restaurant by the kitchen completely open where any kind of bug or critter would be able to get in. The waitresses and cooks are sometimes out there smoking and sitting down. Seems unsanitary. They don't even have a screen door! just completely open. If i were you, I would stay away.

    Love this place!  My family and I have been coming here for years.  The portions are big and the owner (Nick) is one of the nicest guys in town!  Love the servers and the food!!

    There aren't many restaurants in Homer Glen,IL. There aren't many places to eat breakfast in Homer Glen. Purple Onion was about the only place serving breakfast until Blueberry Hill opened up on Bell Road.

    I couldn't wait until Purple Onion had some competition. They are just a regular diner who serve breakfast,lunch,and dinner. It is truck- stop food. Fill your belly and leave.

    As soon as Blueberry Hill opened,we tried their breakfast and lunch and we're happy with the food and service. The coffee is good and sometimes you can find coupons for half off with the purchase of two meals.

    The parking lot is always full and hopefully took business away from Purple Onion.

    Microwave food.  Stay away.  This place is an insult to Homer Glen.  I like a good "diner", but this is not one of them.

    Never fails to disappoint. The joint was totally empty save us, and the waitress never offered to refill our coffee or to check if we needed anything. Food always mediocre and service borders somewhere between neglectful and grumpy.

    Just a regular old diner...nothing special. I really thought it would be too because usually it seems like there are a lot of cars in the parking lot. Their coffee is NOT good...I am being generous by giving it two stars really.

    The food is just not good. I live right by this restaurant and have probably been here twice in 17 years.

    WHY do I keep thinking this place will be good?  What a crapfest!  

    1 star only because they do have a semi-decent staff.  

    The food simply sucks.  I love Greek run diners, but this one is run by what must be the cheapest SOB this side of the Mississippi.  You can't cut corners, trust me, it will show...I've tried breakfast (gawd-awful) and I've tried lunch (stale ass bread for sandwiches) and I can only assume the local "blue hairs" are keeping this place open because it's all that's around, and their taste buds and vision left them years ago.  Like the owner of this place.  I gave the Purple Onion my last piece of business ever, never again.

    Don't say I didn't warn you.   I've no one to blame but myself.  

    When the decision was made I steered in the Purple Onion's direction because "pancake houses always have good coffee."  I should have known - a restaurant with such a name  - ONion - is only asking for trouble.  

    At first glance it appears to be a lovely, clean restaurant with very nice staff.  And truly, they shoult at least get 2 stars from me because the staff was nice.  But that will not save the restaurant from the bigger problem.  The food.

    We had scrambled eggs, hash browns, turkey sausage, bacon, crepes with blueberries, corn beef hash and pancakes at our table.  We also had coffee and juice.

    As we waited I decided to visit the lovely bathroom (er, letrine).  It looked like they tried.   Really tried to keep it clean - look! there are mop remnants stuck underneath the door!  But hey - if out of 3 or 4 bathrooms all of them have floating things and wet seats - there isn't much to choose from. The paper towel machine itself was so filthy sticky moldy that even my elbow was afraid to push down on the lever.  That should have been my clue to leave the restaurant - but told myself if I saw just one roach, I would leave.  Perhaps they all died.

    Help me.  I've just tasted what could be the world's worst coffee! What was I thinking!?  The grainy-ness and it's inability to lighten up after almost 4 creams should have clued me.

    But that is not the worst. I excitedly tried a tiny bite of the turkey sausage. OMG - it tasted as though it had been frozen and re frozen and then it hung out in the freezer for years only to have captured that old-smell.  Not only did it taste bad, it smelled bad.  

    Same problem with the eggs, smell and weird aftertaste.

    What's going on here? The ONLY things we ended up eating were part of the crepes and the juice (which tasted as if kept in a plastic gallon jug).    Oh Purple Onion.  I know you are trying.  Please try harder.

    The waitress came back asking if we wanted doggie bags.  We all said "NO" in a resounding tone - and she probably was aware we  really, really meant it.

    This little doggie did not take anything home with him.  Other than a slight tummy ache.

    Next!
