The Purple Cow - Hot Springs

Finding non-dairy ice cream isn't to hard lately but a vegan milkshake is kind of rare to find. My husband and I got one and customized it to our liking. It was really good.

They offer a vegan as-is beyond burgers, frits and non-dairy (soy) vanilla shakes (with add-in options). The burger was well cooked and I brought my own Mayo as I thought they had no vegan option (and I was not offered). I also have an oreo-shake. Service was fast and friendly!

I am very happy they had a vegan option, that is so considerate, and their staff was nice and polite. They were following COVID protocols so I appreciated that. But the food was borderline inedible. My dog didn’t even want the fries. To be fair we were later picking up than we thought so the food had been sitting out for 15 minutes and I’m sure that didn’t help things. We were on the road and it was one of the few places open (apparently in the South everything closes at sundown). I think we’ll be buying groceries and cooking our own food while in Hot Springs.

They have dairy free milkshakes! I got the soy milkshake with an add in of Oreo, very good. They give you so much milkshake; and the food was pretty good. The chips aren?t great, neither was the impossible burger because it was undercooked but they took it off our ticket which was nice! Everything else was really good! I liked the fries a lot, and even though the diner scene isn?t my favorite, it wasn?t incredibly cold in there which good.

We came to the purple cow because they had vegetarian and vegan options and it did not disappoint! The beyond beef burger was delicious on a whole wheat bun and they had a gluten free bun available with additional charge. The berry salad with glazed pecans and herbed cheese was amazing but the Carmel dressing was incredible on it! They had dairy free soy vanilla bean ice cream and it was very yummy too. Thanks for having vegan and vegetarian options! Our waitress was patient, helpful, and we did not wait long for our food or dessert.
