Amazing!!!! I grew up going to Purple Palace when it was the original owners and loved the broasted chicken!! The new owners have master the original recipe and it tastes EXACTLY like I remember it!!! Amazing service and the new owners were great to talk to!! Thank you!!
Family had the broasted chicken and pork tenderloin sandwich. Delicious, and the staff was busy but attentive. Fun local place with good food!
New owners improved the place dramatically. Two months ago I wouldn’t have given a 5 star review. We went there today and had excellent service. The chicken and sides were like they were when the original family was running the place. The Palace went through a rough patch but the new owners seem attentive and friendly and are trying to right the ship. We will definitely be going back to the Palace under the new owners.
I'm a small Town Bar enthusiast and came here for my birthday. We both had chicken sandwiches that were good, and cheese curds the cheese curds were amazing but we have been more spoiled at other bars when it comes to portion size for appetizers, so were highly disappointed. I would definitely venture back here for cocktails the margarita special was amazing and the added touch with the sprinkles was awesome!
We love the broasted chicken at the purple palace. The new decor creates an appealing atmosphere
