    Neon Burrito
    Kelsey C.

    All I can say is wow! I first came here a few years ago and had a very negative experience. Poor service and subpar food almost made me not want to return. However, I'm so glad I gave it another chance. They've really turned things around with a great new menu and excellent service. We got the Birria Neon Tacos, Neon Crunchy Wrap, and two Neon Burritos. Our server was fantastic, and all of the food was fairly priced and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by how good their espresso martini was too! The atmosphere right on the water really made it wonderful. I'll be back whenever I'm at the Ozarks!

    We went to neon taco for lunch on a Saturday. We were sat immediately and ordered the El Jefe margaritas and also had the Cadillac. I liked the Cadillac better. Our server was great; friendly and attentive! The vibe was fun! The food was pretty good. Guacamole was a little bland.

    expected this place to be a tourist trap but was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. service was good at the bar. i bet it is hopping on the weekends. the guac was tasty - it could have used a bit more seasoning but definitely tasted homemade. the taco platter was a steal which ended up being $25 for nine tacos, rice, beans, corn and fajita veggies. the al pastor taco was the star of the show. the combination with the pineapple and onions was phenomenal. the steak and the chicken were tasty too. definitely recommend this spot!

    Looks like a tourist trap, in the location of one, but give it a shot. Really great food, great service, and cool merchandise. Really enjoyed the vibe and was good for two young boys.

    We liked this place! It was very aesthetic and cute! There are many stories / steps. Our food was tasty and the service was good!!

    Neon Taco is a newer place along the main strip at the Lake of the Ozarks, and in my opinion it's one of the better places to stop in for a bite! I loved that it has plenty of seating and great views of the lake if you sit on the back patio. We didn't eat a ton here so I can't speak to the food, aside from chips, guac, and queso, which were all pretty standard fare. We did, however, all enjoy margarita flights which were so fun and tasty. It was a perfect place for a group of gals to hang out and enjoy a sunny afternoon. I'd add in that we had an incredible server the day we were there - so friendly, and even gave us recommendations for places to visit during our stay.

    Such a fun place and great food!! We decided to go on Taco Tuesday so my friend could do the bottomless tacos. It's actually a buffet style so they give you a wristband and you go up to the buffet and they give you two tacos each time. You pick your protein and tortilla and they give you your two tacos (you can get two different proteins if you want) and then you serve up your own toppings and sides. My friend loved the shrimp the best and then thought the chicken was really good as well. The street corn was just okay, we thought it could use more flavor. I ordered the chips and queso and LOVED the queso. The street tacos (I got without onion) were great and they don't skimp on the protein. You get two tacos and a side with your order. I opted for the fries but they weren't very good fries, no salt and a little dry/over cooked. But the tacos were super good so it made up for it! We also both ordered the watermelon mojitos which we enjoyed. We sat outside on the top floor. The sun was in our eyes but once it went down, it was good vibes. I will say the silver metal barstools are not big girl friendly so I got some bruises on my thighs but that's really my only complaint!

From the moment I walked through the door, the aroma alone nearly convinced me to leave a five-star review on the spot. The staff was incredibly welcoming--genuine smiles, quick service, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. The food? Absolutely fantastic. The smoked meats were tender, flavorful, and clearly crafted with pride. Every bite tasted like someone spent all day perfecting it just for me. The sides were just as impressive--fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Huge compliments to the entire team at Barn-B-Que Smokehouse. You've got something special here--thanks for a memorable meal!

    Well, how to describe the disappointment…read more This place seems like someone from Iowa watched YouTube videos on how to smoke meat, then bought a barn off eBay and set it up in the middle of Missouri. In a state known for barbecue - this was a huge let down. The secret is low and slow - but I don't think these folks got the message. I have had better meat made in an oven. The ribs were under-cooked, and chewy. They didn't come close to "falling off the bone". Their "rub" was thick and sweet - maybe too much brown sugar? The brisket almost tasted microwaved. It was dry on the lean side, and chewy on the fatty side. None of the tell-tale signs of smoking meat really. The sides were OK, although the "fried potato salad" is just home-fries with some sauce on them. They would have been good for breakfast though! The slaw was decent although generic - almost could have been bought from Nobel-Sysco. The green beans were a stand out, they were very good. The fried okra was nothing better than what came out of a box. The barn was really cool, and the server was very friendly. Just disappointing food.
