The Neon Bison

What a fantastic experience from beginning to end! The entire evening felt special—the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. On top of that, the service truly stood out. Kim went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, checking in at just the right times and making us feel genuinely cared for. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the hospitality shine equally, but this spot absolutely delivered on both. We left impressed and already talking about what we’ll order next time. Without a doubt, we’ll be returning soon.

Feb 11, 2026 - visited again (5th time). Kim was our server this time. 5 stars or more all around. Great food. Great service. Great vibe. Love this place! Wednesday my daughter and I made our 4th visit here. We arrived around 4pm - were warmly welcomed and served by Ricki. I had the chicken breast sandwich - fantastic. We each had a couple of their signature cocktails - also fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about the Neon Bison - great food, great service, great decor and atmosphere. We will absolutely visit again.

The esthetics of this qaint, welcoming bar and grill was a delight. Beautifully decorated, exposed brick, raw burnt wood. Ordered the cob salad, fell a little short. Overall dry, but asked for extra dressing and turned out good. Arya was exceptional and it was great service! In house gaming was a nice bonus so had to try those out and won enough that paid for lunch! Kuddos!!! Will be back and try something else from the menu!

Update- went again today, 2/11, before Les Mis and had Kim this time. Absolutely amazing service, food, and drinks. Always look forward to dining here and already looking forward to our next trip back! Keep up the great work! Im a season ticket holder to broadway in Peoria so when I was in town for Hadestown on Wednesday I had to stop by the Neon Bison! The food, drinks, and service are always top tier every time. Ricki greeted us the second we walked in and was friendly the whole time we were there. Service was quick and food was tasty. Will be coming here every time I’m in town for a show!
