The Elote Salad
Thao N.

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

'Shroom Shawarma Bowl added chicken breast and sweet potatoes
Teresa D.

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

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.

Miso-Maple Harvest Salad (Seasonal)
Autumn R.

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!

Chouteau salad
Gayle R.

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!

Byo salad
Tonya T.

Wonderfully fresh salads with lettuce grown on their own urban farm. Amazing selection and great service.

The Protein Caesar
Madison F.

I needed a salad so bad and this hit the spot. They said everything is grown at their farm which is next to the building. I got the protein Caesar salad with avocado. I really enjoyed it and portion size was huge. My mom got the sweet potato soup and homemade bread. Everything was super fresh! Could use better seating and use the space more efficiently maybe. So happy we stopped here for lunch

Umami Crunch with 8-minute egg & pickled red onions added
Anna L.

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!

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!

Sneaky biscuit and plain Jane hash brown
Jo Nell R.

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!

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.

The Protein Caesar
Amy S.

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.

Buffalo Chix Wrap
Gracie L.

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.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, suggesting some of their favorite items. I love the vibe of the restaurant. It's just very aesthetically pleasing and a cute space overall. I also appreciate their dedicated parking lot as sometimes parking in the Grove can be difficult to find, especially on busier days. I tried their mushroom fried rice and as someone who is not the biggest mushroom lover. I really enjoyed it! They have a great selection of cocktails, as well as some tasty apps before your meal. I look forward to coming back in the future!

I tried the Pretty in Pink cocktail, which was well-balanced and enjoyable, though the pour felt a bit light for a martini. Normally one martini gives me a slight buzz, but that wasn't the case here. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer. The portion size was generous, and they were tasty overall, though they had a tangy seasoning dusted on top that seemed a little odd at first. Surprisingly, it still worked. I ordered the Good Burger, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful smash burgers I've ever had. I was genuinely impressed. I got the sauce on the side since it also came with the onion rings, and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of it -- it was a bit runny and lacked flavor. My friend ordered the vegan burger and absolutely loved it. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had a great atmosphere, though there was an unusual smell indoors, so I was very thankful we were able to grab one of the outdoor tables. Outdoor seating is pretty limited, though, so keep that in mind if you prefer sitting outside.

While I'm still developing my beer palate, I chose to get sangria but they ended up being out of it. In a last second decision, I decided to get the filthy margarita. Even though it's pre-made, it was still refreshing. They have a decent selection of food, mostly bread based, which I presume is to soak up the alcohol. I got a pretzel that comes with beer cheese. The pretzel was doughy, but had good flavor. Surprisingly, it was a nice accompaniment to my drink. Others in my party got the pizza and raved about it. All in all, it was great to catch up with old friends and be in great company. This is a great space to try a beer, eat some pizza and play games.

I came here with friends for trivia night on a Tuesday and it was packed. Weekly trivia nights are just such a good time, great way to hang out, be present, and put your phone down for a few hours. Highly recommend coming for that. They also have a pizza restaurant attached to the brewery which is a nice bonus. They sell pizza by the slice too which is perfect if you just want a little something to snack on while you drink. Speaking of drinks, we got beer obviously. I tried the citrus tangerine one and it was so refreshing. I also tried the vanilla cookie beer which sounds a little out there but was really interesting and yummy. The space itself is super spacious and clean. Oh also they have a lot of board games that you can play too. I would definitely come back, either for pizza, or happy hour with coworkers or to play the games there. They have pool too.

Press Pizza & Pasta was such a great find! The food was amazing. We ordered the Tagliatelle,…read morePappardelle, Bucatini, and the Toasted Raviolo pizza. Everything was delicious! I'd say it's definitely a "sharing" spot, which I love, perfect for a group of friends, but also great for solo entrées since the portions work either way. During my visit, there was a bit of a delay: our pizza dish took longer than our pastas, but our server handled it really well and stayed super sweet throughout. So, it didn't take away too much from the experience. Overall, this place is a hidden gem. I was surprised it wasn't busier, considering how great the food and service were. Just a heads-up: parking can be really tricky since it's neighborhood street parking, so if you get lucky, you get lucky. Definitely worth a visit!

Theirs is top tier, and quite inventive. First, some pillows gnocchis are latching onto the savory, salty carbonara sauce. A bit of grate ricotta(i think) and egg yolk garnish this bad boy. Tons of textures colliding so every bite is an adventure of flavor and love. They tout handmade pastas, and some stuffed pizzas. I want to try their pies, but I fear the ricotta gnocchi will have me in a chokehold for months to come! No reservations, no pretense, just good food in a cozy spot!

Despite that, the other tables seemed to receive constant attention while our waitress disappeared for long stretches of time. We were initially seated in the side room with a large industrial fan blowing so hard that it was moving the menus off the table. We waited for the waitress to return so we could request a different table, but she never came back, so we moved ourselves to another empty table away from the fan. She seemed unhappy about the move and told us we might have to relocate again because they were expecting a busy day. Honestly, the restaurant was empty, and we would have been finished long before any rush started -- which we were. I asked for ketchup with my burger, and it didn't arrive until after I had already finished eating. Overall, the service was very poor. Unfortunately, the food was also extremely salty -- and we're people who normally enjoy salt. I had the Farmhouse Burger with Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese, while my wife ordered the steak and fries cooked medium well. The steak came out medium rare, and both her fries and my burger and Brussels sprouts were overly salted. The one bright spot was the mac and cheese, which we took to go. My daughter tried some and said it was the best she'd ever had. To top it off, our bill came to an even $100 with tip, and all we had were waters and the items mentioned above. We had been wanting to try Retreat for quite a while, so this experience was very disappointing. Between the poor service and underwhelming food, we probably won't be coming back.
