Located near Hendricks college, street parking in front of the restaurant. Seating inside and outside. Tables or booths. Staff is very friendly, we were greeted and seated soon after entering. Nice variety of foods, large portions and perfectly prepared. Loved my chili dog! read more

Fun idea. Server was very friendly albeit a bit overwhelmed with the number of tables they had, but he kept up a good attitude. Burger was possibly the saltiest tasting burger I've ever had. As were the fries. I honestly couldn't really judge the actual burger's taste from the amount of salt. Found it odd that we got charged for water too. read more

The service here is always top notch! The servers are friendly and attentive. I've had several things here: -love the three cheese cheeseburger and honey barbecue burger -the club sandwich is good -the onion rings are good -the white balsamic salad was ok. But I wanted to share how delicious the Philly Cheese Chicken was! I think it may be my new staple. Everything was cooked to perfection, and honestly I was surprised at how good it was. Definitely need to try it! I also got a pumpkin pie milkshake which was amazing. Love this place and will continue to go back! read more

This was a fun stop! I had heard about the Purple Cow restaurants before so when we were driving through Conway tonight we decided to stop by for dinner. The restaurant is large, bright and welcoming. There was plenty of seating and even a party room to the side. We were not greeted right away as the hostess was decorated a tree and finished before she came over to seat us. She did not give us or offer a kids menu and we had to ask for one once seated. Cooper, our server, came over and got our drink orders. The menu was very large and they have additional dessert and kids menus. He did not make an recommendations or explain anything to us but he was very friendly. We ordered the signature Purple Cow Vanilla shake to drink and it was brought over in a small glass and the extras in a cold metal cup. My kids liked it but we're disappointed it didn't come with the cherry and whipped cream as pictured on the front of the menu. We ordered the sampler platter as an appetizer. It was large and good for sharing and came with 4 different dipping sauces. It was all heavily fried though so skip if you don't want so much fried stuff. I will say it all tasted good and was not greasy. It included pickle spears, onion rings, potato wedges, cheese sticks, and fried mushrooms. For dinner my youngest daughter got a chili dog which she devoured. It came with homemade chips. My other daughter and I share the club sandwich and sweet potato fries. The club was great although a little dry but it came with boiled eggs which I thought was a cool twist. The sweet potato fries were OK. Very thin, no seasoning, and came with a side of honey which was interesting. I probably wouldn't order them again. My husband got the turkey reuben on gluten free bun. I was so excited to find out they had a gluten free bun. I did not see it listed anywhere but when asked the server said it was available. The sandwich was OK he said. Very little saurkraut and onions added which was different for a reuben. The 1000 island sauce also was homemade and came on the side and looked like mayo. I don't think it was his favorite but it was ok for him since he is so limited with his allergies. I did ask the server about pickles with the sandwiches and he said they don't have pickles. I showed him the menu which literally says "pickles on the side " with almost every sandwich and he just said we don't have pickles spears (that is confusing b/c we got fried ones with our sample platter) and those are pickles slices on the side. Well, either way we did not get ANY pickles with any of our meals even after asking. When we got the check there were a lot of upcharges which I understand restaurants do but I always feel like the server should mention them and he did not mention any. Even when I ordered a chili dog for my 10 year old and asked if it was available on the kids menu he said yes but when we got the bill he charged her for an adult meal without telling us. Our sweet potato fries were a big upcharge at around $3.50 and the gluten free bun was another $2. So be aware when you are ordering. Not everything is listed or mentioned. Overall, The Purple Cow is a fun place and I would come back just for the atmosphere and cool desserts. I think the servers and kitchen need some training on what comes with items and the upcharges need to be mentioned. read more

Everything was awesome. We ordered the appetizer sampler and I enjoyed every bit of it. Fried pickles were the best. Followed by mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and a tie between potato wedges and fried mushrooms for last place. But all were worth a try. I was surprised that the fries are not the potato wedges, but they're as good as McDonald's. I ordered a half pound mushroom Swiss burger; it was monstrous and a tiny bit pink. Very tender. Probably too big. The in house potato chips are good, low salt. The club sandwich is also good... but a surprise ingredient is hard boiled egg. The chicken fingers are big, tender and worth a try. The grilled cheese was eaten by my kids. So must be ok. Milkshakes are worth a taste too! The server was very attentive and nice. The place is a very purple diner. Decent ambience. I will be back. read more

I love their burger and fries, IF you order them without the spices. I do hate the spices they sprinkle on everything, it is overkill to say the least, just my opinion. So if you are iffy about their burger and fries, try them again and order it without the spices, it makes a world of difference. Without, their burgers are 5-star for me! With the spices, they rate a 1-star. I still haven't tried the shakes, something about the purple color throws me off even tho I love the color purple. Silly, huh? Summer, the ambiance is great with all of the windows. In the winter it can be a little chilly sometimes, but still a great view! Take a sweater. I have never had a problem with service, their staff always seems to be on the ball. read more

I went out of my way to do my shopping in Conway so I could go to Purple Cow and get the fried pickle spiers and mushrooms. I ordered them to go. When I checked the takeout containers, the mushrooms were shriveled and black. The pickles were dark, but I figured doable. (They ended up being very hard.) I sent the mushrooms back. When I got my second order, they weren't as shriveled but dark and greasy. At that point, I figured I was out of luck. They either need to change the grease, the cooking temperature, or the cook. ... tbh, I can't believe the cook would feel right about handing that out. read more

My kids love this place and insist on stopping anytime we are driving through. Tortilla soup is good. So are the sweet potato fries. Burgers are ok, but nothing spectacular. Fried mushrooms are tasty. We always get a purple vanilla shake. This visit it didn't taste like much, but was still fun to drink purple ice cream. They keep it chilly in the dining room so bring a jacket. We never have any issues finding free parking. It's alway fun to wander around the Hendrix College campus afterwards. read more

The Beyond Burger was burnt, and the purple shake took 20 minutes to come to the table, after the rest of the party had already received all of their meals and desserts. The restaurant was not busy. I had to go to the counter to ask where my shake was. read more

The burger I got was okay. Mid really .... There was no flavor in the burger. Fries solid 8/10 (needs more salt). Service was great. Had a nice server. Atmosphere was cozy. Definitely a place to get delicious ice cream or a milkshake after the game. read more

The Purple Cow Restaurant - Five Alarm Burger - Diners Near Me - Conway, Arkansas

Ambiance is cute. Very 1950s diner vibes. The milkshakes? Incredible. I got the PB/chocolate shake and my husband had the purple Oreo shake. Would go back just for the shakes. My burger, on the other hand, was pretty bland and greasy. Sad it came with wavy lays potato chips instead of french fries... Not impressive. Oh well! Still on the hunt for the best burger in Conway and this missed the mark. Friendly staff made up for this and brought my review from 3 stars to 4 stars. :) read more

Pretty decent food, great atmosphere, and decent service. The only reason this place wouldn't get a 5 star rating is because some of the food wasn't the best. My brother ordered a Caesar Salad and he thought it was super drenched in Caesar Salad sauce, so he didn't eat it, and my step mom ordered a cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese, and it didn't taste good, but her chili fries were good! My food and my dad's tasted good overall, he got the chicken sandwich while I got a beyond burger. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to have a nice meal with their friends and/or family! read more

I took my husband out for dinner and we went to this restaurant and I was deeply appalled. I cannot believe that in this day and age there is not a handicap entrance for this restaurant at the front. There were 3 different sets of steps and no ramp unless you go to the back of the restaurant, which was completely full! This restaurant is SO not ADA compliant! We will not be back! read more

We had a very inconsistent lunch visit on a rainy Monday. Our orders were taken pretty quickly. When our food soon came out, the white balsamic and caramel salad I ordered didn't include the additional chicken I requested. I brought this up and the server apologized, saying it'd be about 5 minutes (it was more like 10). Meanwhile, my husband ate his steak knife smokehouse burger with fries and our son worked on his fries; their food was all good. My salad came out with the chicken, which was exceptionally good, especially with a drizzle of the unique and delicious dressing. I had to stop the server, though, to request napkins, which he hadn't provided. The most serious misstep came at payment time. The credit card payment slip was $3 more than the itemized receipt. My husband took a picture of the receipts side by side. At that point, after the delays with my meal, we really needed to go. He calculated the server's error into the tip and off we went. We both know what it's like to be a new worker someplace. Our server was new and seriously needed more training, and I hope he gets it. While the kitchen makes good food, this is not a place we would visit again when in Conway. read more

Welp.... the FC Tornado struck again at the Conway location!! I have to give 5 stars because they were patient and the sweet gal on her second month had the privilege of serving our crazy crew!! There were a few bumps but who would not expect that from multiple families and a table full of soccer players ordering. The food was great, the evidence being we all had full tummies and the girls are ready to go back again.... might become a tradition for central AR soccer games. Thanks for the great ice cream, great burgers and patience with us! read more

My daughter and I purposefully waited until 3, between lunch and supper, to go eat, so the restaurant wouldn't be busy. It worked, because only two other tables were occupied during our late lunch. My Reuben was hot and tasty, and the fresh made chips were good, with a side of queso. The purple milk shake didn't disappoint either. Only deducted a star because the waitress took quite a while to take our order. Once we'd ordered everything went smoothly. read more

The place is chic and hip. But the server to help get you in sort of took longer in spite of plenty of open sitting. Place is very loud also. Wish I could say the food is great but I can't. First of all, the potato chips is overpriced especially it tasted like it got fried twice on old oil. It was tough, not crispy. The sandwiches taste ordinary but the burger was a bit over cook and was not juicy at all. It was mediocre. Probably won't be back. read more

Updating this review after eating a full meal and not just dessert. We went here for my daughters birthday and it was the same wonderful service! The burgers tasted amazing. Our waitress was wonderful, my daughter wanted to switch tables to be next to the window, and she was very understanding. Our drinks were refilled constantly. The waitress was so kind (I wish I would have gotten her name) and the food was very affordable. We love it here and will definitely be back! read more

Great food and service! Bigger burgers than I expected and the shakes are large too! Great value for the price.

The Purple Cow Restaurant - Grilled turkey with sweet potato Fries - Diners Near Me - Conway, Arkansas

service is pulling most of the weight for the 3 stars. in covid times, an expedited curb side service is pretty awesome. waiter came out and took payment and actually made a guess as to what my name was (impressive!). However, the food is close to cafeteria quality: soggy fries, dry burger, and the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad was a breast and a half of cold chicken and half a salad portion of lettuce that was drenched in dressing. Not even close to a Caesar salad. I was about to give a 5 star rating till I opened the bag. hope this helps! read more

The food at purple cow was very good! the only problem I had with the restaurant was the waiter, Sean, who was rude to my whole table. He would have an attitude whenever I would ask questions, but would proceed to be super friendly to all the other tables around us. When my table was praying over our food, he very rudely interrupted it by shoving the chili bowl into my friends hands. All the people at my table feel as if we were treated very poorly, by Sean. read more
