    French Dip
    Jimmy T.

    This was my wife and I first time eating at Newk's Eatery. We stopped in for lunch and we shared a French Dip sandwich and a bowl of Lobster and Crab Soup. The sandwich was delicious and we both loved it! I would pass on getting the Lobster and Crab Soup!!!! It really didn't have much meat in it. Just sort of bland tasting. Everyone there was super nice and friendly! Everything was very clean! We loved how they have outdoor seating so we ate outside because it was a little cold inside (for us). We will definitely be back!

    Portabella Veggie Sandwich With side Pasta Salad
    Laura A.

    Quick dinner while shopping in the area. They had someone training on the register and both the trainee and trainer did a great job. Ordered my meal and found a table after filling my large cup. Love all the refillable drink options. The portabella vegetable sandwich was tasty, with well seasoned veggies, pesto sauce and toasty bread. I ordered the pasta salad as my side. It was okay, needed more oil and vinegar or seasoning because it lacked flavor. This location has a variety of seating options, including an outside patio area.

    Steak "Q" Sandwich + Chips
    Leslie G.

    I made an online order at this location to give it a try. There's parking available and it was not crowded. The host assisted me with my online order as it was ready and everything was timely. Now when I took a bite of that steak Q sandwich...hmmm it was delicious and the caramelized onions give it a sweet kick to it and I had chips on the side because why not... This place looks like a nice area to catch up with friends or family or even coworkers. I would come back to try other options on the menu.

    I was at an appointment and asked where they recommended for lunch and she said Newk's without hesitation. She said it has light food with great salads and that's what I was looking for. I walked through the pickup side without realizing. I was greeted, waited a second then said for one. The young lady then replied, have you been to Newk's before, I said not that I remember. She then explained the menu was on the wall and pointed me in the right direction to order in a very polite and friendly way. I read the menu and couldn't make up my mind, there wasn't a line but the young man at the counter seemed to want me to hurry up, I think he had a rough night because I arrived about 30 minutes after opening. His customer service skills were lacking. He placed my order and gave me a card, didn't explain anything so I asked what's next. He then told me to place the card in the stands on the table that hold the rewards information, he didn't say all that but that's what I had to do. Honestly I didn't bother asking for his recommendation, I normally do at new places to me but I felt he'd hum and haw and feel put out. Again, just my subjective opinion. I did ask if there were a military discount and he said, it comes with a free drink. I ordered the half soup and salad. The lobster bisque was ok, warm not hot, but the salad was really good. There are lots of tables but it didn't seem crowded at all. It's great for groups or parties of one, a few couples were already there. I'll be back!

    Not new to News but new to eating at this location. It was easy to park with plenty of space. Quick to take our order and about 10 minutes later we were served our food. Establishment was clean and has a good vibe. I ordered the pick two and got the Italian sandwich and Cesar salad. They were both good, but nothing special. My husband ordered French dip and chili and wasn't impressed with either one. Was a good quick place to eat and not heavy in food. Also, bathrooms were semi clean. They could use a toilet brush.

    The Italian Sandwich with Coleslaw
    Kristine S.

    Newk's is a great spot for lunch. Hubby and I have been to this location a couple times. It's always consistent and delicious. We usually both get the Italian sandwich. I love their hot cherry pepper relish! They do a great job of toasting up the bread very well every time. There's no shortage of meat either, nothing beats hot Italian meats and melty cheese. Newk's does this very well. They are definitely one of the better options in/near Rivercity.

    I'm sad. I'm sad this place isn't in St Augustine, or have a location closer to St Augustine…read more Ever since I discovered this place, I try to add it in when I'm in the area. Unfortunately, I'm not in the area that much, and only once did I make the journey just to come here. What is the draw, you may ask? Great beer, great food, great atmosphere, great vibes! , That said, every meal I have had here has been delicious. The beer is pretty darn good & cold too! Of course, with the long drive...ya gotta limit it. But it's worth it for anything on the menu. I don't know where to start food-wise, I am trying to eat my way around the menu. The gator tail and fish dip are two of my favorites for small bites/appetizers. The Elk burger, the Taphouse burger, and the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich are always amazing....and then there's the cole slaw...yummy! Delicious food, and they have more than just sandwiches. The menu offers a little something different. The atmosphere and vibe are always inviting, and the staff is super friendly. The prices are fair, portions are ample, and there is plenty of parking. The decor is fun too! Not to mention, they give a veteran discount with proof of ID. What more can you ask for? Well, I know what I can ask for! To the owners: pretty please, with sugar on top, consider opening a location in St. Augustine. Not in the downtown area, but the folks north of town need something; they need you! Around the Palencia & Kensington area, off US 1 to be exact...or anywhere nearby in that area. The folks there would love something they can walk to, ride bikes to, maybe even use a golf cart to get to...and yes, a short drive is good too. Jus' sayin'! Please just check it out...I said pretty please!

    When having my boyfriend and his momma pick me up after a work trip to have a weekend to visit…read morethem, they suggested this location for lunch before we made the drive back to Eustis where she lives. They had mentioned seeing some good Yelp reviews, and the menu looked intriguing. I had already had breakfast at a great locally owned place, so my appetite was smaller. What We Ordered: - Oyster Po Boy: my boyfriend and his momma split this, and they both said it was okay though they HATED the gumbo. Very unfortunate as when splitting they had to pay for an additional portion of it. - Blackened Mahi Sandwich: this was recommended by our waitress who started out fantastic, but ultimately disappeared after food delivered so I went without a drink for quite some time. I did eat enough a portion of mine before running out of coke, so I had to pause eating as I need a liquid as I eat. I had split this with my boyfriend, so he enjoyed his fully warm. Mine was good for those first few bites, and really enjoyed the fries. They remind me of the filmstrip fries you can get in Disney's California Adventure. - Coke + Lime: if the machine is calibrated, this is always a win for me! It definitely made a travel day better. Sadly, between the waitress being inattentive after the food was delivered and there being quite the unsavory show being played, this was a miss for me. Who plays Steve Wilkos in a restaurant? It's the modern day Jerry Springer show. I just find that baffling to be quite honest, though we did get a chuckle at it while I waiting desperately for a refill so I could eat the remaining portion of my meal.

When we first walked in, we stood at the counter for about 5-7 minutes without being acknowledged. I understand the manager (white woman, glasses, sun&wave tattoo on her right forearm) was counting money, but there were two registers open and several employees walking back and forth. Instead of simply greeting us or letting us know someone would be with us shortly, they just kept looking at us without saying anything, which made us feel pretty uncomfortable. When our food came out, half of my sandwich was missing the buffalo sauce I specifically asked for, so it wasn't made consistently. What really stood out, though, was what happened next. As soon as a firefighter, a police sergeant, and a police chief walked in, the manager (same woman) immediately jumped on the register and became much more enthusiastic and attentive, asking how they could help right away. It was hard not to notice the difference in how they were treated compared to how we were. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect every customer to be acknowledged and treated with the same level of courtesy. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the service definitely needs improvement.

It has taken me about 10 hours of reaching out to Panera via telephone to this location (they NEVER answer), emails to customer service, calls to customer service, as well as reaching out via social media. Every single individual with whom I interacted seem to have one goal, to keep the money they took for me for food they never delivered when I had specifically requested a refund from the very beginning. So, you may have good luck here, but you may also get taken advantage of by the crooked staff and dishonest leadership of this location. Remember, this location has been pure crap since 2015. Now back to the review where Panera does some kind of weird reverse Jean valjean kind of crap where the company steals the money from a customer who simply is looking for a piece of bread. #crookedcompanies This location is seriously a joke. We stopped visiting Panera altogether due to consistent experiences with quality and product being out of stock at this location in 2015. Fast forward to yesterday when I'm simply trying to obtain 4 bread bowls for dinner at home yesterday evening. I placed the order online, even add some sweet treats and schedule it for pickup. I ask my spouse to pick up the order on his way home from work, which he does. Unfortunately, when I open the bag there are not 4 bread bowls, but 2. And 1 of the 2 isn't even insellable condition. They have not only already cut the boule, But someone literally dug their fingers into it for whatever reason while wrapping it up? Literally, what the frick. Please, could anyone in leadership at Panera reach out to me and let me know why this consistent incompetence has been allowed to continue at this location for well over a decade now? I know you can do better, but for some reason you can't seem to get your heads out of your asses at this location. Of course I expect a refund for the items that I did not receive. I don't appreciate being stolen from which is exactly what this is. I also expect a refund for the food that I was served that someone, or multiple someone's, dug their fingers into. And finally, I would like to know how to place an order for four pieces of bread, and have someone be able to count to four?
