    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 knew yesterday as soon as I saw the advertisement for the new specials I had to get Layla's Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. My daughter couldn't decide on a calzone or the Mac Attack Pizza and after some deliberation, she landed on the Mac Attack Pizza. We got there just after opening and they already had a few customers in the door, but we didn't have to wait long at all. Our food was ready within 15 minutes and brought out. The chicken cutlet sandwich was everything I had hoped it would be. Tangy, savory, and the cutlets were the perfect thickness. Full of great flavor and fresh mozzarella made this the perfect lunch today. The bread wasn't too soft, nor was it too hard. Baked PERFECT. I would eat this every single day if could. Amara loved her pizza and is excited to have some left over for later when she's playing her video games. I like mac n cheese, but generally I'm not a mac and cheese on pizza kind of gal, so I did not try any as of yet. Maybe she'll let me have a slice later? I was too stuffed from the sandwich for anything else. 10 out of 10 recommend and hubby is a little jealous we went without him.

She was patient and very helpful as well. I ordered a bacon and mushroom pizza. My go to pizza. The places is simple: ovens, slice station, and the prep counter. Exactly what's needed for a pizza place. The mural on the wall listed the 5 boroughs and had the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the Statue of Liberty. I mean, New York is there. The pizza came out fast and I got back. Here's the thing: Florida is notorious for having lackluster pizza. There's no ways around it. The pizza was cooked perfectly, thin, and a thicker crust. Perfect for folding. The sauce: not too loose and not too thin. Good amount for pizza, regardless of location. Flavor wise, not bad. Cheese and toppings had the right amount so it could incorporate into every bite. Now going back to my statement on Florida pizza. It's better than other Floridian pizzas I've had. It scratched the itch and I definitely enjoyed it. They'll get my business when I come back to Jacksonville!

It should not smell burnt when you open the box. Very little cheese was like eating none at all. It's very sad and I gave them three chances to see if it was a fluke.....it wasn't.

The ham was below average, with one hard bit. My wife didn't like that there was so little pineapple in it. Our Napoleon pastry was pretty good, and I might get it again ($5 for a small one). We both preferred it to the brownie ($4). I don't particularly like brownies, but this one looked particularly appetizing, and the order-taker said it was one of her favorites, so we tried it. That was a mistake. Perhaps I should have tried the mini cream puffs, which are a favorite of mine (3 for $5), instead. Among other things I usually like, they had carrot cake for $7 and a cup of cheesecake for $9 (which seems steep). Their fruit shaped pastries looked beautiful (and a couple next to us said they loved the mango one), but were $12 each. Their fruit-topped Danishes also looked delicious, but weren't available any more at lunch time. They also offer milk shakes and loaded (sweet) croissants. There are only four stools here next to a bar, if you want to eat in. The bathroom was pretty good. I probably wouldn't come here again, but if I were in the area I might try some of their other pastries or sweet treats.

On May 16, my order was incorrect, so I called the restaurant and spoke with Sydney. She apologized for the mistake and explained that she had spoken with management. She assured me that a replacement pizza would be noted on my account and that it would be covered the next time I ordered because of the error. When I called today to redeem that replacement, I asked to speak with Sydney, but she wasn't working. Instead, I spoke with the owner, who told me that all order adjustments or issues have to go through him. While he explained how their system works and why he couldn't find the credit, he never offered to make the situation right, despite the previous commitment that had been made to me. What was most disappointing wasn't that there was confusion about the record--it was the lack of customer service. Had someone simply acknowledged the previous mistake and honored what I had been told, this could have been resolved quickly. Instead, I was left feeling like my concerns didn't matter. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. However, when a business promises to correct an error, customers should be able to trust that promise will be honored. This is not the first time my order has been incorrect at this location, and unfortunately, this experience has made me question whether I'll return in the future.
