Purple Cow-Chenal, LR
About this place
And the Purple Cow, with two locations in Little Rock (the original on Cantrell Road, another on Chenal Parkway) and other branches in Texas and Virginia, skillfully caters to all our needs, we were reminded during recent visits to both central Arkansas outlets.
We've always thought of the Purple Cow, cutesy with a nostalgic diner/soda fountain feel, as a family place - somewhere squeaky clean and safe to feed much younger and much older members of a clan. Not necessarily a place for two adults to go on date night or for grown women who want to grub and gab.
So we were surprised on a recent weeknight when the Cantrell location hosted far more mature couples and groups than parents with kids. (A visit to the Chenal location on a Saturday afternoon featured more young families, but we wouldn't have known it by the very reasonable volume; everyone was very well-behaved.)
That adults go to the Purple Cow when they don't have children in tow is a testament to its solid staples: starters, burgers, dogs, sandwiches, salads, dinner platters and ice cream concoctions. The atmosphere, set by plenty of cow images and pop tunes from groups like ABBA, is cheery and the prices (entrees go from $4.15 for a grilled cheese up to $9.25 for a Cobb salad) are right.
