5 stars through and through. Service staff treated my girlfriend and I as though we were special guests, the cocktails were outstanding, and the food was uniquely southern. All meals will come with a raspberry sorbet pallet cleanser between appetizers and dinner, and bread service (a small piece of cornbread and cinnamon streusel with honey bacon butter). We had the bread as our dessert as it was incredibly rich and delicious. We shared the fried deviled eggs for an appetizer, I had the Hot Brown with a side of salt and pepper fries and my girlfriend had the Caesar salad with a side of Mac and cheese. Would absolutely recommend every dish that we had this evening, can’t wait to go back and try more mouth watering southern cuisine.

I’ve been wanting to come here for over a year, so of course the reservations we made a week ago happen to be during a snow storm :). Still, the staff showed up and they were amazing. Huge bourbon selection, I ended up having their house old fashion. I especially loved the deviled eggs for an appetizer. Was pleasantly surprised they brought out sorbet as a palette cleanser for us before our mains came out. Excellent fried chicken, I can see why so many people order it. Would definitely come again, and recommend it for anyone’s date night.

Visited with a party of 9 on Saturday. The service was fantastic (thank you, Stephanie & all who helped make the celebration memorable). The food was impeccable & the drinks were fun too. We ordered everything from the fried deviled eggs, Fried Green Tomato Pie & Pork Belly Bruschetta to Veal, Gumbo, Seafood Melange, & of course the biscuits & fried chicken & every bit of it was delicious. Highly recommend!

My friend and I stopped into Purple Poulet right when they opened, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The owner/hostess greeted us warmly, and the waitstaff were incredibly kind and attentive the entire time. We were the only guests for most of our visit, and honestly, we were treated like royalty. Several team members checked on us throughout the meal, making sure everything was perfect without ever being overbearing. We started with the fried deviled eggs and sweet potato beignets — both were absolutely delicious and such unique starters. They also brought out complimentary blueberry bread and cornbread, which was such a thoughtful and tasty touch. For my entrée, I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans — classic comfort food done right. I

We absolutely love this place!! The family that owns it is wonderful and they’re always present and there to host. I don’t think I’ve ever had better fried chicken in my life. I wish I would have taken a photo of the sorbet they serve between apps and dinner because it’s such a nice touch. Highly recommend making reservations but this place is fantastic for any occasion!
