The food was good. The service could have been better. My waitress never came to check n me and see if I needed anything else. Didn't come over to ask if I wanted a refill in my water. I ordered the chicken and waffle. It was good. The mix of hot chicken and the sweetness of the syrup was really good. It also came with a small side salad. The sandwiches can be made with GLUTEN FREE bread. read more

Food was really good. We ate outside so service was not great but food more than made up for it. We ordered the shrimp & grits which were outstanding with a tomato butter sauce and a few micro greens. Wish there had been a few more shrimp but portions were large & flavor outstanding. Also ordered the bbq brisket sandwich. They forgot to add the caramelized onions & the pimento cheese was flavorless but the brisket was really tasty and tender and portion was substantial. read more

Super cute decor and relaxed ambiance. The food is amazing with lots of great selection. And the cocktails! Also a great selection of coffee drinks. Friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

First visit and not disappointed! Only thing , and this is my taste buds talking, needs a little salt with the items we ordered. Those were the Best chicken sandwich. The ceviche just needed a little more lime juice, otherwise the Tuna stack and Eggs Benny, were awesome! Service was great, with friendly staff! Good drink selection, and brunch menu. When busy, I could see it getting loud but we had a quiet time with a semi full restaurant. read more

Superb appearance and scrumptious taste of my Smorgasbord Toast. Our wait staff lady was so efficient and friendly. We shall return.

We thought that the neon fig was this nice restaurant but in reality it's not what we thought it was going to be. For starters, there was less than 10 items of food on the entire menu. It took forever for service, our server seemed like he was the only server available through all the tables. The food was and I quote, "tastes like shit" I definitely would not recommend going here for the food. The drinks were mediocre, if you go for the booze. read more

Good experience! The inside is a casual classy mixture, so you can enjoy the atmosphere without feeling the need to dress up. Considering I walked in wearing my work clothes I definitely enjoyed this aspect! I first ordered a cappuccino and it was great! It was brought on a saucer with a napkin and stirring stick, which gave it a very premium feel. I then ordered the Fall Fruit Bowl and the Bacon Ceaser Salad and almost finished both! Both were fulfilling serving sizes, but I hadn't eaten all day so I ate more than usual. I enjoyed both, but the salad was my favorite. My one complaint would be that it was 30$ for yogurt and salad, but it's fitting for a more formal occasion. read more

Our first time to this cute town. Read the other reviews and decided to give it a try. Sure glad we did. Service was great, and food was yummy. My hubby's fried chicken sandwich was so big he could only eat half! My only criticism is to beware that soda is in cans and they charge $2.50 for each can. I tend to drink lots of soda when I am out and I needed to curb my drinking! Other than that, everything else was great! read more

We were in Aiken for Thanksgiving week, I saved Neon Fig prior to our arrival. It was our last day in the city and we planned to have brunch before heading out. We arrive at the restaurant, greeted by a pleasant hostess and seated immediately. The restaurant has great lighting and very modern (my type of place). Seth was our server and he took great care of us, answering questions ensuring food allergies and dietary restrictions were met. Everyone enjoyed their meal, Neon Fig is a must for brunch in Aiken! I plan to stop in the next time we're in the city. read more

Great lunch today at Neon Fig. DH thought the Shrimp and Grits was one of the best he had ever tried. I was pleased at the Grilled Fish Tacos and the Beignets with Raspberry jam was Devine. Great lunch place! read more

Listen. Don't underestimate these gems in small towns. I was in Aiken visiting family a few weekends back and heard a lot of talk about this place. When I lived in Aiken, I performed at the theatre and this was just a building next to our backdoor parking lot. Now, it's a chic, modern place with a killer brunch. The Good: beyond aesthetics, everything from the service to the food to the cocktails was top notch. I forget our server's name but he was great. We ordered Cucumber Salad (add salmon), Farro Bowl, and Shrimp and Grits. All were outstanding but the shrimp and grits were probably the best I've ever had. Their cocktails were fantastic, reasonably priced, and not weak (tip: drink while eating, not before haha). We shared a dessert that was also really good but I forget what it was - flan cheesecake maybe? The Meh: nothing for me! The Bad: really nothing. This is the perfect addition to Aiken's historically lackluster food scene. I really hope they're successful because many great restaurants in Aiken haven shut down so PLEASE don't be another statistic! I will 110% be back every time I'm in town. I know my family are going to be regulars as well! read more

My friend and I decided to try the Neon Fig for our girl's lunch today. What a lovely, inviting decor and such pleasant staff welcoming us. We didn't have to wait, but check out the very pretty area on the right. Pat decided on the Salmon Bagel and a Bloody Mary and I ordered the Shrimp & Grits. Both dishes were pleasing to the eye as Mary brought them and outstanding in flavor. I had to admit that the S&G were better than my own and the best I had ever eaten up and down the SC coast. Both brunch portions were very generous and a great value. You won't be disappointed if you try the Neon Fig. We'll definitely will be back. read more

This is my favorite place and Aiken loves the food for breakfast and lunch It's a perfect option. We have dined here several times and it's my favorite place to bring clients. The interior decor is fresh and creative with a fun atmosphere. They have a bar that you can also dine at with a creative drink menu. It's always fun to try something new . The staff is upbeat and knowledgeable about their menu. We love this place, however with that said, as much as we love it, we've tried it for dinner a couple of times, and unfortunately the acoustics are rough as it's open dining and very very loud. We brought a party of eight there for a birthday and weren't even able to talk to the person next to us. Tried it again with two and still the same issue. So, although we love the evening menu until, we're able to dine and talk to our dinner guests. It will not be on our list as options. Will always return for lunch and breakfast though and they have a terrific brunch menu on Sunday, which is sometimes hard to find, Aiken. Beignets anyone? Yes they make them Fresh hear. And don't forget to try their loaded potatoes but you're my favorite read more

Neon Fig is brand new to downtown Aiken, but their menu is beyond fabulous. The libations are off the charts of fully eclectic mix of fun. The staff is top notch and down to business. Definitely a place I will frequently be coming back to. Current they're offered Brunch/Breakfast from 9am to 3pm. Then Bar Snacks from 3pm to 6pm. They have a fabulous website that goes into full fetal about their menu. read more

The menu is creative and the food was cooked well, but it just lacked flavor. I had the "best chicken sandwich" and it would have lived up to its name if the breading and sauce had some more flavor to it. The bloody mary was good and the best thing our group had was the fries, somehow they managed to get flavor into those. read more

The vibe is everything when you walk in, the decor, the lighting sets the stage but the food and service are what sets this place apart from good to great! We sat at the bar, I wish we would have gotten our bartender name but she was a rock star. The drinks were excellent, and unique which we loved. The food was top notch and when we are back in Aiken there is no doubt we will be back . Thank you for a great dinner experience. read more

A friend and I had Neon Fig for brunch one day last weekend and y'all... it's worth the 45 minute drive. I had the chicken and waffle plate and I wish I would've snapped a photo. HUGE chicken breast and two of the best sugar waffles I have ever had. The brown sugar cold brew was also phenomenal and it took all I had not to get one to go. The only downside of this place is they have one person bathrooms that are constantly in use so you have to wait. I can't wait to try more menu items. read more

First time here, slightly disappointed. The food presentation was excellent as well as the service. The food we ordered and the reviews are as follows...(rated 1 bad to 10 excellent).Grouper ceviche was good but lacking enough acid to balance the other flavors out (6). Tuna stack was delicious as is (8) Best chicken sandwich was way underseasoned, and tasted bland. Some salt, pepper, or hot sauce would have made is much better(6). Eggs Benedict was delicious needing just and pinch of pepper to make it complete. It was the best of the bunch, a solid (9). I didn't dislike anything, but it seems the chef doesn't use seasonings when cooking. The ambiance was usual for lunch, not too loud or soft. Intend on revisiting another date and trying other menu items, in the meantime ask the server for salt and pepper.... read more

Really enjoyed to foods d atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating for a party of 10!

Thank you for opening your doors on Easter. The quiche was delicious and the to go order was perfect! Staff was very nice as usual. Happy Easter! Unable to dine in because my Husband is terminal. You made it special! It felt like a holiday. I prefer to dine in though! Thank you thank you! read more

Wonderful drinks, great service, awesome food. I have been several times, and the food and staff's service are consistently excellent.

Of all the restaurants we have been to in Aiken, Neon Fig is consistently very good! Had delicious fish tacos yesterday.

This place lives up to all the hype! My SIL and I had lunch - hers was shrimp and grits, mine was shrimp lettuce wraps. Both were flavorful and we would order again for sure! We also had the blueberry daiquiris. Fresh! Service was impeccable! read more

Maybe it was an "off day" for the kitchen, but my fish tacos we so fishy and salty could not eat them. Service was on point, however.

Delicious and eclectic menu! Reasonable prices, prompt and attentive service, and a fun ambiance!

The restaurant was really nice inside and they have a full bar. The menu was different and had some unique items. We tried the special which was mushrooms on toast and the fish tacos. The fish tacos were fresh and tasty. They had a nice slaw and a sauce with just the right amount of heat. The tacos came with a side so we ordered the waffle chips which are made in house. The chips were terrible - all of them were over fried. We mentioned this to the waitress and she brought out some more and said that is how they always are and that now we know to order the fries. The mushrooms on toast special was awful. The texture of some of the mushrooms was like rehydrated mushrooms that had not been cooked. They should have been chopped and sauté longer. The flavor was ok but the texture was a real turn off. The toast was soggy and could have used more toasting. The side salad did have a nice dressing. I picked all of the weird mushrooms off and was able to finish the dish. read more
