    Highly recommend! We first got a tray of chips and queso/salsa, which were really yummy, so we asked for a second tray (which was free)! The lychee margarita was strong and very tasty, and the shrimp tacos were juicy and really flavorful! I usually don't like flour tortillas but these were really good. Service was also super friendly and quick, and the place was really nicely decorated. There was also a free mechanical bull right outside the restaurant, with a bar and DJ!! I will be returning when I'm in this area again~

    We celebrated a birthday at Neon Taco on the covered patio during a rainy day and it ended up being the perfect spot for the occasion. The space had such a fun vibe (even with the weather) and it really made the celebration feel special. The staff were super responsive to our DMs on Instagram, which was so appreciated. We had a group of 40+ on a holiday weekend, and they accommodated us with ease. Service was fast all things considered, and the spicy margaritas were a hit across the board. The DJ was great as well! A few things to note: the food portions were very small for the prices, and the bill wasn't separated by person until the very end. With such a big group, it turned into a bit of a nightmare to sort everything out. Also, the space isn't wheelchair accessible, which is important to know ahead of time if that's a consideration for your group. All in all, great drinks and vibes, and a solid spot for a celebration.

    The place has a cool vibe with all the artwork and its modern aesthetic. There was music playing outside, and I didn't have to wait long to be seated with my group of six adults and two babies. The service was good; our waiter was friendly, got all our orders correct, and had a great sense of humor. Now, here are my positives and negatives about the food: Negatives: I ordered a Starry, but it was flat and lacked carbonation, so I switched to lemonade instead. Additionally, I tend to prefer larger portions, and while the burrito looked great, I felt there were very few fries served with it. Overall, my meal cost over $30 (including tip), which felt a bit steep for what I received. Positives:The food and drinks were good, and the atmosphere was fun. The service was excellent, and I would definitely consider going back. Overall, I recommend checking out this place and forming your own opinion. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the Ozarks!

    "We had the Neon Bowl with grilled chicken in a delicious lime sauce and a Patrón Tree on Friday, April 17. The food and drinks were so good that we came back the very next day for the exact same thing (and two Patrón Trees since we weren't driving!). Great lake views for boat watching, a friendly and attractive staff, and solid management that you can actually see working hard on the floor. Highly recommend!"

    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!

    Great view but that's about it. Margaritas were not good and pricey. Food was cold. Fish tacos were fishy. Service was not bad.

    Food was decent, atmosphere fun, great views. Wait staff wasn't great, but it's the lake, so you expect that.

    Barn B Que is one of those "we go every time we are here" establishments. It is so goid and always…read moremakes us want to come back. They have a variety on the menu and they will accomodate. One this visit i got the brisket tacos and a side of onion rings. It had the right kick. Hubby got the jalapeño sausage with another meat with a tater and said it was delicious. Seated right away. Staff is always friendly. A must try at the lake!

    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.
