About

A delightful spot in River Ridge, The Purple Onion serves a varied Mediterranean menu alongside classic American fare. Guests can enjoy casual dining, both indoors and on a covered patio, with options for outdoor seating and drive-through convenience. Although many diners rave about the quality of the gyros and crinkle-cut fries, some have encountered less-than-stellar service experiences. With a friendly atmosphere and ample parking, it's a convenient option for families and groups looking for a quick meal or a relaxed lunch.

Review by Erick Daugherty

The Purple Onion in Birmingham is a casual Mediterranean spot perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal on their covered patio. I tried the gyro wrap combo, which featured tender meat, fresh veggies, and a unique house sauce that added a nice twist! The crinkle-cut fries were pleasantly crispy too.

Though the atmosphere was chill, the service was a bit disorganized; we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. Overall, it's a solid option for lunch or dinner if you're in the mood for Mediterranean comfort food... 🌯🍟
