A Family, A Dream, and a Whole Lot of Good Food
Who We Are
In 2001, Karen and Rocky Purvis were searching for something more—something that would bring their family together and bring Karen’s passion for cooking to life. They found it in a small beauty shop just off Highway 11 in Ellisville, Mississippi. With some elbow grease and a lot of heart, they turned it into what Karock’s is today: a cozy, welcoming spot where customers are treated like family and the food is always fresh.
The name Karock’s is a blend of Karen and Rocky—because it’s always been about the two of them building something real, together. Rocky, a former Popeyes franchise owner, wanted to break away from the corporate world and do things his way: simple, soulful, and made-from-scratch. That’s exactly what they’ve done since the day Karock’s opened on April 16th, 2001.
Today, the tradition continues with their daughter Kala Carpenter, who runs the restaurant daily and helps carry the family legacy forward—one plate at a time.
