I had the bacon cheeseburger well done and it was the best burger I have ever had, I don't live anywhere near this restaurant, but I hope to visit again someday!

Pleasant old style diner in small town. Very neighborly. Extensive menu. Seemed like everyone knew each other. Great home fries.

If you are looking for a very good, local rural diner, this is it. Plus they have good pie.

Wonderful hidden gem in the middle of Illinois. This place is amazing. The food is great and the atmosphere was a page out of old Mayberry. My husband had a steak with grilled onions and I had a club with fries. The fries were as good if not better than McDonald’s. The real treat was the variety of home made pies. I tried the pineapple cream pie and it was wonderful.I highly recommend this place if you’re passing through.

Want a wonderful hidden gem! We had the basic all American standard food, western burger and fries; sirloin steak with sautéed onions and mashed potatoes and gravy. Every thing was delicious and cooked perfect. The kicker is the pie selection. All fresh made daily. I tried the pineapple cream pie and it didn’t disappoint ?. Highly recommend this one too all in the area.

We've never even heard of this town. But last night, a couple my boyfriend a year ago, came from New Zealand. They were headed to visit us in Ottawa, but their truck broke down. So they found a town truck that would help them, right down the street from you. We came out to meet up with them, and we went to the Purple Onion. The food was amazing! The pie was excellent! Homemade pie! Delish! The waitress was so nice too! Thank you so much!

My husband and I stopped in for lunch ordered two Patty melts and to our disappointment it was probably the worst lunch I've had. The hamburger was small that we had all bread and one little hockey puck of a burger. They're supposed to come with chips and I asked for the chips and also in order fries on the side when the order of fries came it was about 14 french .fries that were all very small and I had no chips. I guess it wouldn't have been so bad if they came along with the sandwich as part of the price but they charged $3.50 for the french fries. The waitress walked by us at least three times after she delivered our food not once stopped to say is there anything I can get for you or is everything okay. Maybe they knew we were from out of town but I can tell you this, we will NEVER stop at the Purple Onion again
