Oooookay, took me a minute to review this place cause I wanted to try a few things first and O! M! G! FIRST of all! I had two different bartenders… Jill and Ricki… they were AMAZING!!! Absolutely stellar service and really quick with the comebacks- very witty… Jill made some cool leather thing too… the cornbread was HUGE and SO GOOD!!! Also… finding good okra in Peoria… it’s this place…. Of course I tried that grilled cheese that the sweet waitress Kim suggested- she was right… delicious!!! Honestly, I’m coming back for the food & the service… I might’ve become a regular now… love this place, this might have just become my favorite spot in peoria…. The THCdrinks aren’t my jam but they are available there Great location too- right downtown, street parking, indoor outdoor seating, sometimes live entertainment, chill vibes…. I love this place!!!!

Just went here and it's more than 5 star place. My friend Selena and I loved this place. The food is top tier. So is the staff (Allie) to take our order and serve us was very respectful and did very amazing with everything. This was our first time here and she made our first time coming here bearable. I would give this restaurant a 100/100. I recommend this The Neon Bison for anyone.

Really fun "honky-tonk-style" bar / restaurant with classic dishes and some unique dishes to choose from. Full-bar with imports, domestics, and local brews on tap. Live music plays here as well. Definitely try the Piggy Back Grilled Cheese for something delicious and different. I was there on a Friday evening around 6ish and it was not busy at all.
