Neon Greens (4176 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110) During a weird time in our lives regarding lettuce, I fully trust the hydroponically grown lettuce here at Neon Greens. Parking is mostly limited to street parking. We came in on a busy Saturday, and while the line was long, it was moving. We reviewed the menu posted on their glass prior to coming in to order. Since we had our dog with us, we made our salads to go. I had the Thai BBQ salad while my guy had the Elote Salad with smoked chicken. We did not add anything extra. The service here was on point. They also ask your level of dressing (light, medium, or heavy). We had medium and also ordered 2 of their Chili Crisp Chewy Cheese Bread, which is reminiscent of Brazilian cheese bread but with a kick. For drinks, we ordered Mexican Coca-Cola and Pineapple Palo Santo kombucha, which is locally made. Everything was perfect, from the balance of ingredients to the taste and crunch. They have indoor and outdoor seating and if sitting indoors, beautiful natural lighting comes in. I cannot wait to order our salads here! read more

Cute place, very bright and light. The salads look great and are pretty big. The menu was large with salads being their main entree and they offer veg and non veg items. The make almost all of their salad dressings and I liked the Peanut one the best, but lots of choices and items show if they are gluten free or otherwise. The 3 of us had a variety of salads. My only issue was that I wish they would simply charge $1-2 more and allow a few more toppings of your choice. I added the marinaded tofu and it was a little protein. They do have chicken and other proteins. The seating can be limited, but easy to carry out once you know their large menu and flavors of dressings. I ended up wanting a little more of something. My wife had the soup with coconut and it was nice. I had asked for some salt and pepper and was given salt, but no pepper. I felt some of the dressings needed a little more salt and or pepper. The concept is great! Growing lettuce AND being a cafe or restaurant makes their concept that much more difficult. So hats off to them! Do give them a try and you will be amazed what they have created! read more

This is the most welcoming, comfortable and delicious restaurant I've been to in a long time. As others have noted, the interior is bright and the staff is very kind and helpful. There are even 3 ways to order: at the counter on the tablet, on the QR code at the seats, or asking the staff directly. The DD Mau salad may have been the most delicious salad I've ever had. The greens were fresh, not bitter at all, and the ingredients were so flavorful. The textures combined with the sauce made for a very complex, umami taste and mouthfeel with a slightly spicy kick. Wow! So wonderful that it's a local collaboration too. We also got The Works, a generous swirl of basil and matcha soft serve with shards of sesame peanut brittle. My friend liked it a lot and I thought it was very interesting. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on their menu and there's also the option to make your own salad. Lastly, you can sign up for tours of their hydroponic farm (attached to the restaurant), which are held on weekends 1-2pm. You'll know where to find me on Saturday... read more

I'm so satisfied! Neon Greens is in The Grove, and from the outside you'd never guess how cool it is inside. You walk into this older building and it just opens up into this bright, clean, almost energizing space . I went with the Umami Crunch with tofu and... yeah, this is the kind of place that makes you realize how rare a really good salad is. Like, when do you ever eat a salad and think, "the lettuce is incredible"? That happened here. Everything tasted fresh in a way that's hard to explain unless you've had it. And then you find out why--they literally have a hydroponic farm attached. Not just for show either... they do tours, and a lot of what you're eating is coming straight from there. It makes the whole experience feel different in the best way. The portions are huge, super filling, and still somehow feel light and clean. I also grabbed a local blue spirulina kombucha that ended up being one of the best I've had. If you keep wandering toward the back, it turns into this almost maze-like space, and on weekends they do a pop-up called Biscuit Town with breakfast items (including vegan options). It just keeps going. Honestly, I walked in craving a REALLY good salad and left wondering why it's so hard to find places like this. This is one of those spots you go to once and immediately know you'll be back. read more

After attending an event I decided to go here for lunch. I have been wanting to try it for some time now. It took a minute to go over all of the various menu options. It's nice to see all of the fresh ingredients available-mostly grown onsite. It can't get any fresher than that. The service was great. They are ready to help explain anything on the menu. It's a cute place, there's street parking available. I decided on the Thai BBQ which is a popular item. I also got the chili crisp cheese bread. My salad was huge and can easily be shared with another person. It was so fresh and delicious. The cheese bread was good, would have been much better if it was served hot and gooey. I'm glad I stopped in and really enjoyed my lunch. Go try it for yourself. read more

I was definitely skeptical about trying a salad place for lunch, but Neon Greens completely changed my mind! The salad was so good, incredibly filling, and the portion was huge, even had leftovers. I also loved that you can customize anything on the menu or build your own salad, so there are tons of options for everyone. It was really interesting learning that they grow a large portion of their produce right onsite. Fresh, delicious, and definitely worth a visit! read more

Neon Greens - The Fattoush - Salad Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

This is a favorite restaurant for many reasons, one of them being the freshness of their greens, the friendly and helpful service, and the variety in their menu. I've never had a dish that wasn't outstanding. I love that there seem to be new things on the menu when I go there, and everything is well marked with allergen info. The workers seem happy to be there, and the customers are too! On Saturday afternoon they offer a tour of their hydroponic gardens, and I can't recommend it enough. Its a short tour, but it is incredible to see how they grow almost all of their greens on-site. Carve out time to visit Neon Greens as soon as you can - its worth the trip! read more

I've driven by here so many times and I finally made it in. There is only street parking. It is a very welcoming space with an open concept. There's seating inside in the main dinjng area, out in the back under a covered area and also outside in the front on an upper level deck. The staff is phenomenal! They made me feel welcome, they took time to explain menu items and seemed proud of the products offered. The lettuce is grown on site. I ordered the seasonal sweet potato soup and so did my dining companion, but her presentation looked different like it had some cream on top. I chose to create my own salad, and I absolutely loved all of the unique choices to do so. I had the hardest choice picking one of their house made salad dressings. There were so many choices so I picked two. It was one of the best tasting salads i've ever had. read more

It was exactly what I needed for the day. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The salad itself is huge, I would recommend splitting it and take some home (which I did). The flavors are all super yummy. I tried the Thai BBQ before and it was good but pretty tangy. Recently, I tried the elote salad which was pretty similar but the corn was the perfect touch. It's a perfect spot to grab a quick lunch, if you're in the area! Parking can be tricky unless you're lucky read more

Neon Greens - The Elote Salad - Salad Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I was in the area for a haircut and wanted to enjoy a nice lunch out by myself. A friend had recommended Neon Greens to me a few months ago and this was the perfect time for it. I'll be up front and disclose that I AM NOT A SALAD PERSON. The closest form of a salad that I eat would be a chicken Caesar wrap laden with dressing and cheese and carbs with probably 2000 calories. That said, boy was my elote salad at Neon Greens enjoyable. It is a lil pricey but worth it once I dug in and really enjoyed myself and learned more about the shop and their mission. They grow everything themselves - so cool. I love the friendly employees and the really really fresh greens and combinations. I got the cheese bread but was really close to ordering the soup instead. I'll skip the bread and try the soup next time. No matcha soft serve available the day that I went. read more

One word....YUM!! This was my first visit to Neon Greens and I will be back! First, the greens are grown on site hydroponically...it doesn't get any fresher than that!! Then the combinations and toppings are equally fresh and tasty. Highly recommend. The staff was friendly and happy to help a novice at their restaurant. The ambience's is casual and welcoming read more

Neon Greens - 'Shroom Shawarma Bowl added chicken breast and sweet potatoes - Salad Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Pleasant service is always a plus upon entering an establishment. Rarity these days so I've come to appreciate it these days. I digress... Display case was clean; loved that! Menu large & in charge; detailed...loved that too! Fresh ingredients, deliciously paired serving with greens, grains and the perfect amount of sauce or sauce-less (whichever floats your boat). I thoroughly enjoyed the shroom shawarma is avocado. Super filling; I enjoyed half and took the remainder home for dinner. Of course a pineapple palo santo kombucha was the appropriate beverage to finish off my meal. Absolutely divine every time. Oh, the vegan peanut butter cookie was tasty as well...nice gluten free treat to satiate a sweet tooth. ~C.A. read more

I consistently enjoy Neon Greens, regardless of what I order. It is a casual spot with a cool, clean aesthetic that offers both regular menu items, a build-your-own section, and a rotating menu of seasonal items. Employees behind the counter are friendly and ask questions to ensure your salad is built to your liking. On my most recent visit I ordered the miso-maple salad. This is (sadly) seasonal and was fresh, cozy, and rich! read more

Neon Greens - Miso-Maple Harvest Salad (Seasonal) - Salad Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Not my first time dining here; impressed by the quality consistency! The maple miso salad is a delish mix of colors and textures. We split it and it was plenty for us two. We added on 3 things: 1 marinated tofu chunks (Not crazy for this. Pretty mushy raw and not terribly flavorful either. ) 2 the bread rolls were a bit oddly soft/mushy but flavor was fine. A fave destination for us health minded vegetarians! read more

I have yet to make it to Neon Greens for their Neon Greens food but was able to stop in this morning for their new Biscuit Town permanent pop up. Beautiful, bright space! A seating area when you walk in with tables and window counter seating. We didn't sit there but the view of the changing trees was beautiful out the window. Walk up the to the counter to order, our order was taken by a friendly and upbeat person, the menu gave all the options right there. the server was efficient and asked questions to make sure our order was correct, we paid and chose a seat. Our food was brought out quickly on a tray, there was a counter with a composting area that also had napkins and utensils. The biscuit sandwich was huge! The Sneaky Biscuit. I asked for no cheese since I am a cheese weirdo and don't like it mixed with eggs, meat, or potatoes! So, biscuit, bacon, egg, and smoked citrus honey. Very good, I am also a weirdo about butter and I was afraid I wouldn't like the biscuit because of it, but it wasn't overpowering and I really enjoyed it. For my first time, I opted for the Plain Jane hash brown, so thin and crispy! I will be more adventurous next time and choose the Unami option. As I was composting our dishes, one of the employees chatted with me about the option of touring the farm and he pointed it out, I had thought it was part of outdoor seating, so cool that it is where they grow the greens. I remembered reading something about it after he mentioned it. I admitted I hadn't been there for their non breakfast options and he got me a menu and encouraged me to come back. He might have been an owner, and he was super nice, either way. Hope to be back soon! read more

I don't know why you'd spend $20 for a salad, but Neon Greens is worth it. I ordered the Five Spice Barbecue Bowl, a collaboration with Salt + Smoke, a local BBQ spot in St. Louis. Since I'm not a fan of quinoa, I swapped out the three-grain mix for all lettuce, and my salad came with mizuna, shredded cabbage, roasted broccoli, pickled red onions, garlicky cucumbers, Salt + Smoke's signature pulled pork, crispy garlic, chopped peanuts, and a charred scallion green goddess dressing. What makes Neon Greens unique is their hydroponic farm connected to the restaurant, where they grow their own lettuce. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the space itself is welcoming, bright, modern, and minimalist. They also prioritize composting and recycling, which makes the experience healthy and sustainable too. read more

Delicious, fresh, healthy salads that are generously portioned and constructed by thoughtful and friendly staff. Bright, fast casual eat in dining area and a nice area for compost and recycle - loved that. Also thought it was super neat they grow all their own greens (had no idea till I went). The umami crunch salad with addition of an 8-min egg was very satisfying. I can't wait to come back and try other menu options! read more

I don't even know where to start with this review. Neon Greens completely and totally blew our minds. The food is so incredibly inventive, unique, delicious, and nourishing. This is what clean eating is all about. The staff is helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They grow their own greens (tours on certain days - check ahead). The bowls are huge! I couldn't finish mine and it made an excellent snack the next day for lunch. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I've lived pretty close to Neon Greens for a hot minute now, and I'm so mad at myself for not trying this place sooner! My partner and I were craving something that would make our bellies feel nice and nourished, and Neon Greens did that and more! We placed an order online for pickup. Our order was ready to grab right at the estimated time. I decided to build my own grain bowl, and it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to make all my selections because there are SOOO many awesome choices and additions. I ended up getting the three grain mix, hydro lettuce mix, roasted broccoli, roasted cauliflower, sweet potato, fresh herb blend, roasted red pepper vinaigrette, and feta cheese. This bowl was absolutely packed with flavor and freshness. I especially loved the roasted red pepper vinaigrette. Very unique and brought all the ingredients together perfectly. My partner had the Buffalo Chix Wrap. He said it was one of the best buffalo wraps he's ever had, and that's a lot coming from someone who is actually obsessed with buffalo chicken! Also highly recommend trying their cookies if you need a little sweet treat after every meal like me! Neon Greens has such a cool mission and process, and I love their commitment quality and sustainability. read more

I came across Neon Greens in a web search and I love a good farm to table concept and salad so I was intrigued. It is really a cute and very clean restaurant. Yours are given on the weekends which is so cool. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful! I ordered the Beet Salad and added strawberry and sweet potato's to it. I could not decide on what type of dressing sounded good, the horseradish vinaigrette it came with or strawberry. So I got both. The dressing is homemade and thicker than I had expected , but delicious. I did end up using the strawberry and it was a nice complement to my salad. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I really don't think it could have tasted any better. The marinated tuna that was on my salad was tasty and not overpowering which was important to me. The menu isn't huge nor hard to figure out. There are some salad selections or you can create your own. Same goes for the wraps and there is an option to turn the salad into a wrap as well. There were a few things I can't wait to go back and try, and I am a sucker for a good create your own with whatever I choose that sounds good that day. This is definitely a concept that was needed in this area as we didn't have any real good just healthy salad places! neon Greens outdid themselves! The fresh delicious offerings and A+ service make this a win for me and I definitely will be returning! read more

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE!! Never thought I'd say that about a salad place but Joe stay it's blown my mind. My partner and I went there for a date night and we had the best experience. The salad is so fresh and they build them right in front of you, kinda Subway style. Everything was so refreshing and full of flavor - and very filling! I had the seasonal July salad and he had the mushroom bowl. We couldn't skip dessert so we had "the works" on their Thai basil + matcha swirl soft serve. Fun fact: it's made with oat milk so the lactose intolerant, such as myself, can enjoy this delicious treat :) It was so good we ran it back a few days later. I had the protein bowl and it's literally so filling I couldn't finish it, had to take it home. So glad this healthy option is in the area. A new favorite has been found and 10/10 running it back again and again!! :) Also the staff is so friendly and helpful read more

Clean, efficient, and tasty! Neon Greens is an STL delight, and I recommend everyone try it! I think it is so interesting and environmentally conscious for restaurants to grow and supply their own greens. Located in the Grove, this is a great spot to visit! Parking is available on nearby streets. Walking in, everything is so bright and clean! You enter the line and tell the friendly staff behind the counter what you'd like to order. You can customize your salad to your liking, whether that's through specific ingredients, or the amount of dressing you'd like to add! I ordered The Protein Caesar with a slice of the Chili Crisp Chewy Cheese Bread. The salad dressing was tangy, the chickpeas were crunchy, and the eggs were jammy! The bread was moist and had a good amount of spice. The food here is always fresh, excited to come back. read more

The food is so complete with the nutrients we need in our daily life. The service is phenomenal and they help you to choose the salad you are looking for. The place is in the heart of the grove and it doesn't have their own parking lot, however you can park around the neighborhood. The place is clean and neat. I highly recommend it! read more

First timer. Was greeted immediately by a very friendly staffer. Her snippy counterpart quickly advised us that they were closing in 30-minutes and our food would be to-go (basically saying hurry up, order and get out). The nice staffer said we were welcome to stay and eat if we'd like. Had we not had a small child with us and it was school night, we probably would've stayed to eat just to piss the snippy one off. Anyway, we got a quick tutorial from the nice one on the menu and their hydroponic growing method. Lots of delicious fresh ingredients behind the glass so you can watch your salad, wrap or bowl being created. I chose the Protein Caesar (50g protein total) and I was not disappointed. The salad was huge - well worth the $16.95 price. My daughter had the equally huge Mojo Verde ($13.75) salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is an extensive menu - lots of delicious sounding items to choose from. Next time we'll go earlier to be able to sit down and take in the bright, modern decor. read more

Owner was there & was very helpful explaining this is a new concept & hopefully will grow with more selections later. Got the hashbrowns- umami & regular. The umami seasoning was great. The biscuit was delicious- flaky yet soft. Hopefully this idea grows & more choices become available in the future. read more

Finally a place that fills the sweetgreen vacuum in St. Louis. Their greens are grown hydroponically next door and extremely fresh. The salads are well designed, and there are various protein options including chicken, eggs, tuna, tofu. There's also great rotating seasonal salad options as well as a build-your-own. Their oat milk matcha and basil vanilla swirl frozen yogurt treat is also really good, as are their cookies if you like desserts that are a bit off the beaten path.

First time checking out Neon Greens, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, a build-your-own salad, and the peanut butter & blackberry cookies -- everything was phenomenal. Super fresh ingredients, great flavor balance, and you can really tell they care about quality. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially for my first visit. They walked me through how everything worked and even offered a sample of their Matcha tea ice cream -- which was so good! The space itself is spotless, bright, and welcoming -- perfect for a casual lunch or healthy bite. Just a heads-up: everything's served cold except the soups, but honestly, it works. Easily the best salad and chicken wrap I've had in a long time. I loved it so much I came back the very next day! read more

Great salad place. Stopped for a bite to eat while in town and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. Generous portion sizes and worth the price. Service is quick, the person who greeted us gave us a quick but thorough run down of the menu which was appreciated. You can order off the menu - we got the Chilled Curry and Thai BBQ exactly how they're listed and they were divine - or customize as you need. They grow their own lettuce in house, and dare I say you can taste the difference. Tables are small and seat 2 people comfortably, but you could probably put a few tables together for a larger party. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Neon Greens is such a great addition to the Grove! There are some seating options on site but we have mostly done take out. The food has always been ready super quick and packed well.

Two thumbs up for the Spiced Corn Soup...delicious! read more

Overall, a good spot if you are looking for an elevated salad experience. Their space is open and modern, and the people are kind. WAIT TIME: It's counter service, so no wait time! We came in on a Saturday around 12:30pm and there was only one person in front of us ordering. FOOD: I got the Chilled Curry salad. I like that most of their salads are unique takes on more common salad types. This one intrigued me because I've never had a curry ranch dressing. They did a great job at picking flavors that went really well together. The pickled green tomatoes were also a new one for me, and I think they tasted great! All the ingredients tasted very fresh (no old looking lettuce), which is a big appeal for a salad place. SERVICE: Counter ordering as mentioned. The cashier asked if it was our first time and made the extra effort to explain to us how it worked and what she recommended! Very considerate service. They also have a stamp card which the cashier gave me, so they definitely seem to want to keep their customers coming back :) AMBIANCE: It's a very modern clean space, with enough seating for smaller groups. They also had some outdoor tables next door. PRICE: The salad came out to around $15, which is pricey for the amount of food you get in my opinion, but to be honest, I would say it's comparable to other salad places. So in that sense it's reasonable. read more

Finally!!! A salad place in stl that rivals the sweetgreens and Chopt's of the world. We have been in dire need of a salad joint and Neon Greens is that and more. Incredibly fresh, tons of flavor and I believe they grow most of their own food (?). Stopped in today and got a bowl- their greens are so crisp and fresh. Tried their sweet crisp and oakleaf lettuces and both were wonderful. Built my own bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli and cauliflower and their tomatoes. They had so many topping options! Added some smoked chicken and parm crisps. They have several unique and fresh dressing options. I tried the roasted red pepper vinaigrette which was fantastic. Also tried the buttermilk herb which was like a spin on ranch. So delicious! They have huge portions- you will definitely leave full. You can also add rice to your bowl for something with a bit more carbs. Prices are more on the steep side- my husband's salad and mine were $20 each. Lots of seating if you want to stay and eat- everything is already made though so this is a great place to grab and go too! Will definitely be back to try more. read more
