The works! Basil and matcha soft serve swirl with sesame brittle

Fionna L.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

Christy A.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

As someone who lives in the Grove -- I was so excited to try this place. We walked in to an empty establishment with at least 10 people behind the counter. Seems a bit much. Workers didn't know the menu & upon ordering, he forgot 2/7 of the ingredients so I politely let him know. He apologized & went on. $2 extra for tomato? SEEEEESH. The salad itself was half full. It was delicious. But for the price - the portion was not it. I spent $35 (after tip) on a salad with extra tomatoes & chicken. With a topo Chico. I thought it was weird that they didn't tell me they had a self service water station after being out of the third drink I ordered. Overall, a good vibe with potential. Excellent lettuce. I'm just not sure the price to be half-filled was worth it for me. read more

Yes, yes, yes!! There are some places with good salads on their menus in St Louis, but no real SUPER solid places that only do salads. Thank you, Neon Greens, for scratching this itch! The spot is stylish and trendy. The menu is decently vast with pre designed salads, and endless options exist for create your own. The staff was all warm and super friendly. Upon telling them it was our first time, and how excited we were upon simply seeing our finished salads we took to go; we were even given some complimentary cheese bread. We ordered the chilled curry, and the umami crunch. Both fantastic, but the umami crunch was definitely the favorite. Will be hard to not just order that one again next time in. We are, however, determined to try every salad on the menu! read more

I love the concept and have been waiting for a place with good salads to open in Saint Louis since I moved here. It was a decent salad, but I was really disappointed that for $18 (no add-ons or drink) they only fill half of the container. I went in knowing it'd be more expensive bc it's one of the few, if not the only, places of its kinda in St. Louis and you pay for the on-site grown lettuce, but I was still shocked by how little lettuce they put in the container. I waited to write this review until a friend asked to go a second time, just to make sure it wasn't a one time mistake or a light-handed employee. It happened both times. I can't justify coming back unless this problem changes. read more

Love the concept and the lettuce was extremely fresh but the price for the portion as many other reviewers mentioned was a little disappointing. My husband and I spent nearly $40 on two salads and I was still hungry afterward. My husband got the Chouteau and added chicken which was really tasty, however, I ordered the farmer's bounty and was not a big fan of the flavors, especially of the dressing.

I tried the Chilled Curry Salad and the Green soup the first time and the Seeded Wedge salad the second time along with the green soup again (yes, it was that good) and the All the Works Soft Serve Matcha & Basil Vanilla Swirl with toasted rice, sesame nougatine, smokey Almonds, and miso caramel sauce. The Soft Serve alone is worth dropping by. I plan to visit again next week. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. Ask to tour the hydroponic lettuce and herb farm on site. It's amazing.

I've been here twice so far and I absolutely love it! The salads were fantastic - fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. They are hearty, large portioned salads. The soups are delicious too and the cheesy bread! It's clear that the chefs put a lot of care and thought into crafting these healthy and tasty options. What truly sets this place apart is its commitment to being environmentally friendly. From using locally sourced produce to minimizing waste and promoting recycling, every effort is made to reduce the carbon footprint and protect our planet. It's inspiring to see a business that not only cares about serving great food but also about making a positive impact on the environment.

I recently ordered, all the autumn salad from Uber Eats. This particular salad was extremely delicious! This is the first time ordering from this restaurant, and I wanted to try it out because I have not been eating salads or any type of lettuce because the majority of it is grown out west. All of the ingredients were fresh, and the combination of the ingredients were incredible. The salad dressing that came with this particular salad was also very delicious. I will be ordering from here again just a sidenote, the salad was huge! Upon reading some of the other reviews about the salad portions being small I really don't understand where that's coming from because again this salad was humongous. I'm so happy there is a place like this in St. Louis to get a fresh homegrown salad. This is amazing and definitely satisfying. read more

Five Stars +. If you want great tasting, fresh, healthy food DO NOT miss Neon Greens - this is the future of dining. Thanks to innovators like Josh Smith who can create totally new concepts that delight all the senses for helping us experience what is possible. Imagine being in an urban environment yet feeling like the food you are eating came fresh from the farm. Well that is Neon Greens. They are growing the most popular greens right onsite, enough to make a couple of hundred salads a day. From the moment I walked in I felt a lightness and stress release from my body. The colors, textures, high ceilings, wood tones, open kitchen and visibility to the growing area all make you feel healthy even breathe easier. It should be no surprise that owner Josh Smith spent years working in scenic and lighting design. The menu is also an incredible display of diversity in taste & texture with flavors from around the world. The team is so proud of the ingredients that the only thing between you and the kitchen is a glass panel separating you from the chef making your salad fresh. I had a hard time deciding what to order but settled on The Fattoush Salad which was delicious and I plan to go back to sample many of the other menu items. read more

We tried a couple of different custards, and while they were good, I honestly didn't find them as exceptional as I expected given all the buzz.

I honestly came here because of all the hype online about their fruit pastries. I even called ahead…read moreof time and was told they always have plenty. Unfortunately, when I came in on my lunch break, they didn't have any out. When I asked, I was told they only had mango and to come back Saturday for more. I explained that I don't live nearby, which is why I called ahead. They gave me two mango pastries from the back, but they seemed to have come straight from the freezer or fridge they were extremely hard and difficult to eat. The flavor itself (coconut-infused white chocolate with a subtle mango) was okay, but the texture made it disappointing. If you live nearby, I'd suggest pre-ordering to make sure you actually get what you came for. If you're driving a distance, I wouldn't rely on calling ahead since I was told they "always have plenty," but that wasn't the case. On top of that, their AC was out, so the door was open with a large fan going, and there were flies inside. The decor is nice at first glance, but the suede couches were stained and not very appealing to sit on. So I know if you are handicapped, you will not be able to access the facility as there are high stairs and no other Access

Loved the fresh strawberries and ice cream on top of that doughy chewy funnel cake. I couldn't stop eating it. Dubai chocolate strawberry and biscoff strawberry - these both were good. The strawberry was very fresh but I think it sat for a while because the chocolate was super hard. Made eating it difficult trying to get it out the cup. Chocolate croffle - this one I didn't like. The actual croffle was very hard and couldn't really chew it. Cupcakes and cheesecake - I did enjoy the cakes. They were soft and really nice however I don't know what the cheesecake was supposed to be. Kinda tasted funny The drinks - I did like the strawberry and peach drinks, very refreshing. The inside was really nice for the decor.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Sweet and delicious treat for a hot day!…read more After leaving a nearby establishment, my husband and I decided to venture into Jeni's. This was a perfect ending to our date night. Upon entering, we were greeted by the workers and my nose became filled with the sweet smells of waffle cones, and ice cream. They have so many different flavors to choose from. If you are undecided, ask for a sample before deciding which flavour suites you. Prices are reasonable, and there is plenty of seating inside to sit, or take a stroll through the neighbourhood and enjoy! I opted to get a waffle bowl with gooey butter cake and brown butter almond brittle. Both ice creams were delicious. The gooey butter cake had pieces of gooey butter cake, and the brown butter almond brittle had almond brittle pieces in it. It was sweet, yet salty, and savoury. The waffle bowl was crunchy, and sweet. I will definitely be back to try new flavours!

You can taste the real cream and fresh ingredients. We love all the cake ones because they have actual cake pieces inside! The little waffle piece is delicious too. It's great to read their ice cream origin story on their napkins. This location is also a nice and heavenly smelling space, bustling in a good way especially at night. We always make a stop at Jeni's whenever we are in central west end, or even when we're not.

I haven't been here in a few years - used to love this place, so we decided to spend Mother's Day…read morehere this year. Advertisements online talked about "rolling out the red carpet" for mom, including receiving a glass of champagne, a hand-selected personal gift from the team, and a special Art Deco Goddess coloring sheet for the kids. However, our Mother's Day experience was not special at all. I went with my husband, 2 young kids, and my mother. When the waitress greeted us, she wasn't very friendly and didn't even say Happy Mother's Day when there was 2 mothers at the table. She didn't mention anything about the free champagne...we had to ask for it. We did not receive a hand-selected personal gift. There was also no special coloring sheet for the kids - we were just coloring on the kids menu. Nothing about our experience was special. Next year, I will pick somewhere else to go for Mother's Day. I felt more like a burden here than someone to be celebrated. The food was still decent. I got the pesto chicken sandwich with the bird seed salad. The bird seed salad was the star. Loved the poppyseed vinaigrette dressing and the bruleed apple slice (never seen that before - how unique and cool!). The pesto sandwich was a bit difficult to eat - while the chicken was moist, the bread was very crusty and dry which made the overall sandwich very dry. It was kinda hard to get through. I ended up taking it home and reheating it in the microwave and it was a little better after doing that because it allowed the pesto to soak into the bread and moisten it up a bit. I ordered a scoop of Zanzibar chocolate ice cream with hot fudge and this was truly amazing. The kids menu could definitely use some work - seems more like an after thought. It isn't even posted online to view in advance. I can't remember all the choices, but it was limited. I remember 2 different peanut butter sandwiches available, Mac and cheese, and a "pizza" on focaccia type bread. I put pizza in quotes because most kids I know are picky and this isn't a traditional pizza so we couldn't order this because our kids probably wouldnt eat it especially if the bread on the pizza was as dry and crusty as it was on my pesto sandwich. We ended up ordering the Mac and cheese, which was actually really good and the kids liked it. Just wish there were more options. What was really disappointing though is they served apple slices on the plate with the core still in it...serving apple core to a child is a safety hazard and just plain lazy.

It definitely did not disappoint. It was packed and filled to the brim, super generous portion and honestly a bit over the top but in the best way. The combination worked really well. The strawberry cheesecake added a nice creamy, slightly tangy balance, while the gooey butter cake brought that rich, sweet St Louis style indulgence. A really satisfying mix of flavours and textures throughout. One other thing I really appreciated was that they provided lactase which is such a thoughtful touch to make it easier for people who are lactose sensitive to still enjoy everything. It got pretty busy when I stopped by which says a lot about how popular it is. But there is plenty of space around for you to sit and enjoy the cold treat. Worth a stop if you're craving something sweet! Would definitely try just their ice cream next time.

To be a last minute find a place... that was close by, easy to get into and DELICIOUS! This place checked all the boxes. We went in around noon. We bought parking close to The Arch but it didn't start until 2 PM so we were trying to time it just right. We were here just over 1 hour. It allowed us plenty of time to eat and drive time to Arch parking. It wasn't on purpose but we both ended up with chorizo. I had a chorizo bowl with sunny eggs. I did want some fruit so I ended up with a side of fruit and 2 biscuits. The biscuits are droolworthy; Not enough places make biscuits like that. My wife ordered the chorizo omelet. She loved it but had plenty to take for leftovers. They have a small parking lot but we parked on the nearby side street and didn't have an issue. I thought we'd have to wait for a table but we didn't have any wait. Maybe this is a hidden gem of St Louis. It certainly is to us because it was so tasty.

They had a great happy hour around 3pm, both our appetizers were on the happy hour menu, as well as our Pinot Grigio drinks. The food was excellent, we had focaccia bread, and fried calamaris. We didn't have them but the wagu sliders and chicken lollipops both were popular at the other table. We also got a white chocolate tiramisu to go that was fantastic.

Let me start by saying my waitress was lovely, great service and great attitude. So in that…read morerespect, the meal was pleasant. Unfortunately though, this restaurant seems to have a case of quantity over quality in terms of food items. There are far too many things on the menu for them to perform well at all 40+ menu offerings, or at least that's my opinion of what might be going on here. I ordered a glass of prosecco and the prosciutto con melon appetizer to start. This was actually quite nice flavor wise but if you're going to charge $22 bucks for an appetizer you better load my plate up with prosciutto!!! For me personally, 3 pieces of prosciutto, a pile of arugula and some cantaloupe is not worth 22 dollars. I then ordered a side beet salad and mushroom ravioli. This is where things took a turn for the worse. Beet salad was decent, I just wish they put more of the toppings. Was basically just a bowl of arugula. The mushroom ravioli was sadly a let down for me. The pasta was rolled far too thin on top of the filling and far too thick on the sides so unfortunately the tops of the ravioli were paper thin and overcooked while the sides were still raw. Really unappetizing to cut a ravioli open and see raw pasta. Honestly the flavor was pretty rich but not terrible it's just the ravioli itself wasn't well executed. The lovely waitress noticed that I wasnt completely satisfied and took the ravioli off the check. I ordered some "wagyu" sliders that were juicy but in desperate need of some salt. She also offered me a free dessert which was a warm olive oil cake which had a nice orange flavor to it. Honestly quite a nice ending to an underwhelming meal. Would come back for drinks, though.
