There are lots of things that make The Purple Cow a beloved spot for "the young of all ages." It’s not just about the great food and iconic shakes, it’s about an experience. A visit to our restaurant is more than a meal; it’s a moment of laughter, nostalgia, and family connections. It’s about sharing stories, enjoying good food, and creating memories that linger long after you leave.
 

A Nostalgic Legacy

Our journey began back in 1989, when businessman Ed Moore and Chef Paul Bash opened the first  Purple Cow location on Cantrell Road in Little Rock. Inspired by the classic diners of the 1950s, this location quickly became a community favorite. Since then, we've grown while staying true to our roots. With locations across Little Rock, Hot Springs, Conway, North Little Rock, Benton and Rogers, we've become a cornerstone of Arkansas dining while maintaining that unique Purple Cow charm.

We’ve built more than just restaurants; we’ve built a community where generations come together, stories are shared, and laughter is a constant presence.

 

Quality Food, Timeless Memories

We take pride in crafting your American comfort favorites—our burgers, shakes, sandwiches, and salads. Each bite is a reminder of the classic American diner experience, made fresh with quality ingredients and love. But it's about more than food; it's about sharing moments with family and friends, celebrating birthdays, and enjoying good times that keep customers coming back, generation after generation.
