    Place was slammed last minute with a full house due to trivia, yet they still gave us a great experience! Food was good and fairly priced, staff was friendly and attentive, trivia was great and the popup was fantastic. Neon Gardens is one of Chicago's best gems!

    Bartender was amazing, even though there was a private party in the back he made our visit worth it. I think his name was Darren, apologies if it’s incorrect. His service was great and drinks on point!

    The decorations in the restaurant were really fun and there was a lot of good photo ops. The service was good, we had a mistake with our order and they fixed it without us even having to ask so that was really nice and they were really kind about it. The game room is really cool it's nice that there are some free games to play.

    The food and drinks creatively fit the theme and were a nostalgic throwback! Was the quality outstanding? No, but the atmosphere and fun trivia made it an easy 5-star experience!

    Loved the idea of a themed pizza place! But the prices of the food were too much, $37 for a pizza!! The pizza was huge though, but we would’ve wanted something that said that the pizza was for 3 or 4 people. We were only 2 and the slices were really big. The drinks were amazing, but since it was kid friendly it was too much. It would be great if the adults and families with kids were separated, but that’s just an idea.

    Staff not very friendly or attentive. Food was mediocre. Ordered an appetizer of cheese fries. Arrived ice cold and hard as a rock. Sent them back. Didn’t order any pizza since the appetizers were so underwhelming.
