I've been hearing a lot about this place for a but and remember when it was the Green Derby. I remember hearing about it when it was at Dayton, but never made it over.Came in tonight at 5 on the dot since it was since it was Valentine's Day weekend and we didn't have a reservation. Big upgrade from derby for sure! Very well decorated.Sat down and waited a minute but they were trying to figure out the 30 guests that just walked in. Good sign right! Talked to Dillon, bartender, and gave us a good description of everything and suggested some drinks. We had about all of them lol. Great bourbon selection. Honestly never had chicken cock but was really good. That's a bourbon FYI Ordered some apps..biscuits, fondue, and Caesar. First off thought caesar was, is this a Caesar salad. Omg l, so good. Friend even commented on how it was. The star for me though was the blue cheese fondue, I could have just had a plate of that. Had the biscuits and they were also good. Didn't each much of those as trying to slow down on the carbs. Again, fondue hands down the best!!Entrees were a special of halibut..so freaking good!! The fried chicken my friend had was great but don't know I would say the best, that's a steep one. Had some bred puddin too so don't miss out. Honest opinion 4.5, nothing is perfect, well, mostly. Great atmosphere and I'll definitely be back and I will tell all my friends !

The service was impeccable! He atmosphere is just what you want with fine dining and their attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. We had their fried chicken. I come from a long line of southern women who take great pride in their fried chicken. It's makes my heart soar knowing I never have to fry another bird. Theirs is outstanding and would make any son of the south weep as their nibble on a wing while having memories of their Grandmother! Gotta go make reservations. I've just made myself hungry.

On the outside, this place doesn't seem like much - but walking in the door, you are immediately assaulted with the scent of delicious fried chicken and southern comfort food. Then you see the Bourbon selection - feeling like Buffalo Trace, Weller, or Old Forester? It's there. Want to stay local? How about the Purple Poulet's barrel pick with New Riff? It's there (and delicious!).Before you even get to the main course, let's talk about the sweet potato beignets....mouth watering! Our server told us all about the food and brought us a palate cleanser of some kind of amazing Gelato that I wanted to eat more of!Then the food - i went for the seafood melange with shrimp and crayfish, but I got to try their legendary fried chicken. I understand why it wins awards - it is sinfully decadent and needs to be a world wonder!I am giving this place 5 stars, but only because 5 trillion stars is not a thing. Don't sleep on Purple Poulet (though you may want to sleep after you finish eating).

My husband and I were on the lookout for some unique and The Purple Poulet definitely fit the bill. The ambiance was great and the selection at the bar was outstanding. Our waitress was helpful when it came to the menu and was very attentive. The restaurant is tucked into a charming village as well. Love seeing new parts of the tri-state area.

What a great place to have wonderful southern food and great conversation. First timer here. Arrived in time and sat immediately. Order a few manhattans which were delicious! Appetizers included the Beignets, which were over the top. Main course included the Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. So good and spot on!! You can't go wrong . Our server was outstanding and super friendly. Will be back again for sure!

Went there for dinner and as part of the B-Line passport. Got their Angry Orchard Cider Onion Soup (very long, but cool name!). It was delicious! A little hot and spicy at first, but cooled down. Loved the pinion straws on the to

Best fried chicken on the planet. The food was excellent. We had the fried deviled eggs, biscuits, and their fried chicken. It was heaven between the unique devil eggs and extra crisp fried chicken the meal didn't disappoint. Every bite was a culinary explosion in your mouth making your tastebuds dance. The staff was incredible. Our waitress Olivia was very knowledgeable about the menu. She was attentive to our needs. Every course perfectly timed.The bar contains just a few hundred bourbons including a New Riff bourbon that can only be tasted there. The mixologist was on point making brilliant tasty concoctions.Highly recommend going ... just make sure you have reservations.

Great Dinner and Bar stop on the B-Line! My wife and I were spending a day in Northern KY. It happened to be July 6, which is National Fried Chicken Day! With that being my favorite all-time food, we had to find a place to celebrate. We asked around and were given two options without crossing the OH river: Purple Poulet and Libby's. Had to pick one and, as purple is my favorite color, Poulet got the nod. It was a Saturday at dinner time and we had no reservation. Would we get a table? We did! Summer is slow, they said. The place was busy but not full. The hostess sat us right away. Beautiful, small space with a dozen or so tables and the bar all in one room. They employ very young support staff (one celebrating his 17th birthday) who were polite, attentive, and hard-working as they filled water, cleared plates, delivered dishes and such. Our server, Christie, was on her game. Everyone was. We ordered Deep Fried Deviled Eggs, a first for us both. Unique and Delicious with a light coating of their chicken batter, flash fried. Two topped with bacon, two with peppers, two with caviar. My wife got the nightly Special, a beautiful baked halibut dish with shrimp and more. She loved it. I, of course, got the "Claim to Fame", a four-piece fried chicken dinner with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. Rated Best FC in KY by Southern Living and I don't doubt it. Excellent. Lightly breaded and crispy. Balanced spices, not salty. Breading to chicken ratio was perfect! I saved the thigh to take home. Ate it cold and it was perfect!Lots of good cocktails, a huge bourbon list priced well. Highly recommend. Get your B-Line Book Stamped!

Dinner last night was wonderful! The hostess was engaging and friendly. Our server, Kelly was outstanding! My BF had the seafood melange which was a work of art and absolutely delicious. I had the fried chicken which was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly! Great experience. We're coming back!
