I really want to like this place. My kids enjoyed their meals (minus the burnt pizza) but my to-go order was a bit of a disaster. First they forgot the kids drinks, then they forgot their chips, then they forgot plasticware... and when I got home I noticed I didn't have any salad dressing for my salad. So I don't really know if their Greek salad is good or not since I'm now eating it with the only dressing I had at home.... ranch... read more

We typically come here 3 times a week for lunch or dinner and order the same thing each time. It's definitely our favorite hotspot for food. Tonight was a different story. Last time I came in, my bread was hard as a rock but I didn't complain because sometimes things like that just happen. So this time, I came in, we ordered our food and I just mentioned to the cashier about them possibly not ocer toasting the bread. She was very polite and things were good. Paid, got our cups and went to get our drink. As we were standing there, filling up our drinks, the employees got the ticket for the order and things went south. Mind you, I'm still standing there and the employees said "some a**hole just ordered a sandwich with fresh bread" and continued to say inappropriate things along with jokes followed by laughter. MIND YOU, I'M STANDING RIGHT THERE! I went back to the register and asked for a manager. Erin came out and talked to me and seemed really displeased with her employees behavior after we talked for a minute. She handled the situation pretty well and made sure to do the appropriate manager things when it came to us being guests. She's the reason why I'm giving so many stars. Other wise it would have been a lower review. To the CHILDREN working in the back, break room talk stays in the break room. Not in the front and in front of customers. People have picky request sometimes. It happens. I'm sure you've made one or two before in your life. Anyways, thanks Erin. I really appreciate your help this evening and thanks for supervising while they made our food. read more

Bugs in the salads, staples in my mac and cheese...now tile bits in my food... never returning. At least I gave you 2 stars for at least trying. read more

Finally Pensacola gets a Newk's!! We've needed more healthy option family-friendly restaurants. Their food is super yummy and the staff is so nice and helpful! It's our new go-to restaurant. I love the soups, salads and sandwiches...so much to choose from! read more

This has become a new favorite for me! I used to love Panera's meals but now that I've found Newk's I may not go back to Panera except for their bread. The Newk's Q is what I always get. It's absolutely delicious. The white barbecue sauce is to die for. I always get the four cheese Mac and cheese as a side to it. It's the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. I love the cups that you get when you purchase a drink. They are sturdy plastic cups so you can take them home and reuse them at home. The atmosphere and food make Newk's one of the best restaurants in town. I can't wait to go back! read more

Newk's is a spacious restaurant and very clean to include the bathrooms. They have a grab and go if your in a hurry. They have a topper bar for your salad or pizza. Their salads are fresh and presented nicely. The mac and cheese is good and creamy. We ordered the spicy chicken pizza. It was defiantly spicy but other than that lacked flavor. Pizza had great presence just wished it would have wowed me with flavor. I would like to come back and try another menu item. Service is friendly. read more

See all

My favorite place to get a soup and salad! I visit often. Mariah (like the singer) goes above and beyond to assure your experience is amazing! Don't forget the dessert, get the brownie and "let it sweat" before eating! Worth it!! read more

I've been here a few times to pick up an online order and to dine in. The set up of the restaurant is a little different than most places. There are 2 entrances. The one with 2 registers is where you order (menu posted on the wall to the left or they have menu brochures). The other entrance is where they have grab and go items (sandwiches, pasta salad, chicken salad, desserts) and you can pick up orders. In the middle of the restaurant is an area with add ons for salads and there are prepackaged breadsticks. The pickles are thickly sliced sweet pickles.... if you don't like sweet pickles, don't try them. Online ordering was super simple and special instructions (no mustard, extra lettuce, etc) have always been correct. Even when I forgot to order no mustard when we ate inside, they were able to accomodate the request and didn't seem inconvenienced. Newk's has a variety of drink options including Splenda tea. I haven't been able to find it premed anywhere else. Only downside is the first time I went, they were out. So far I've tried the Italian sandwich, a couple of the pizzas and the club sandwich. Watched them make salads and they seem pretty substantial especially considering you can add so many extra things. read more

The food is really great but I really want to write this review to praise the customer service. So I've been pretty obsessed with their Cobb salad and get it to go frequently lately. Today I got it to go and went to eat in the food court of the mall and noticed there wasn't any chicken which is my favorite part. So I call to let them know and see if I can just pick up some chicken and they asked me where I was and offered to have a brand new salad made up and delivered straight to me. And sure enough in less than ten minutes they delivered a whole new salad! I don't know of any other place that would even think to make up a whole new dish and deliver it. read more

Food was fair, nothing to write to grandma about. The facility was very clean the staff was very nice. A good place to go with the kids. It's like a upgraded Pizza Hut. read more

Excellent place to eat and close to the mall. I had the Mediterranean pizza and it was delicious. They have a good variety of sandwiches, 10" pizzas, soups and salads. My weakness is their sweet tea which is freshly brewed. read more

First time eating here. I got the soup/ sandwhich combo for $8.39 or so....kinda disappointed at what I got for that price. This is the smallest club sandwich I've ever seen. There's hardly any meat in it. The loaded potato soup is delicious though. read more

Newk's Eatery - Salad Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Decent Enough. I never saw myself going to a place with a name like "Newk's", but it was convenient, and I was looking for a new subject for food photography practice. The combination of grilled onions and horseradish sauce on the steak sandwich sounded perfect, and it was certainly good. The onions caramelized enough to be a little too sweet for me, and their "baguette" was just so-so. It wasn't compelling enough for me to really want to explore around more, but it wasn't bad or expensive. read more

Everything was fabulous, as always!! I highly recommend Newks!! It's a great deli with awesome salads and sandwiches!! The pizza is very good as well!! read more

Service was wonderful, a nice man walked around and constantly checked on us. Food was expensive but you get your money's worth. I suggest the margherita pizza, it's a perfect size to fill you up. read more

Possibly the best salads in town! And for a franchise it feels fresh and more like a new local restaurant, than a tried and true, plug and play franchise. Try the newks Q for a better than decent white BBQ sauce. read more

I've been here a few times and have ordered salads, sandwiches, soup and pizza. I like that it's fast, but fresh food. All my meals have been good. I normally get the half soup and salad or sandwich. The only thing that I might complain about is that for the half salads they put a lot of dressing. Other than that, it's good food. read more

Fresh salad with lots of choices and condiments. Fast service. Potato soup could have been hotter but was good. Friendly staff.

Came by here for lunch today with my grandparents. When I walked in I noticed the friendly light and bright atmosphere and decor, but felt pretty rushed when ordering and the menu was placed awkwardly, probably because most people know what they want right away. I went with the half Cesar salad and Roast beef sandwich. I also tried a piece of Margarita pizza. Honestly, after how everyone talked it up I was disappointed. The roast beef was over cooked but was warm and sauced well with mayo and whole grain mustard on good and crusty bread. It came with a bowl of romaine, cheese, and croutons that was extremely overdressed. The pizza was nothing special. The saving grace was the incredibly kind and polite waitstaff, great service. All in all, it's similar to Panera and would probably get something else if I went back. read more

Dylen was the kindest manager we have ever met. He was kind,courteous and caring. On Sunday we got 1//2 off grab and go . We will be back next Sunday! read more

Love, love, love, this place! Our favorite salads are the avocado shrimp and the chef salad. The kids like the pizza! Good prices and fast service. read more

Second time in a row they have got my to go order wrong. Plus I had to wait for my order to be ready, which was fine, but I never heard anything after that. Went to the counter and it had been sitting on the to go rack the entire time. Add soggy bread as well. Not a good experience. read more

The staff is amazing and the food is consistent! I have a dairy allergy and they make sure I can eat hassle free. I could eat lunch here every day! read more

The table was so sticky the napkins stuck to it, we found a relatively clean table. The soup was good but had too much salt. My chef salad had very little meat and no egg. All in all, mediocre at best. Mellow Mushroom is much better for similar types of food. read more

Great Newk's Q sammitch and fresh fruit cup. Excellent service. Friendly staff, very clean place. Don't forget the yummy desserts.

My first Newk's experience, but I can't believe this isn't one of the best ones. What do you want out of a restaurant? Beautiful, clean, modern building (they have a wash hands sink outside the restrooms so you don't lose your kids when you send them to wash up) and a very efficient system for ordering and receiving your freshly prepared food, but the food, OH LA LA -- the food is delicious -- fresh, healthy and yummy. We are so happy to welcome this restaurant to Pensacola! read more

Wonderful place. Delicious food especially mac and cheese :) my food actually was a little late because my order for last, but to make up for it, the manager gave me a 15.00 gift card and free brownies. Excellent service! read more

Recomend this to anyone! Sandwiches are awesome! although the menu is far from the cashier so its kinda hard to order off the top for first time eaters. Food is delivered to you with speedy efficiency. Defenetly coming back for more!! read more

Whenever you're looking for something delicious, look no further. Newks has a little of everything! The Simply Salad, the Mac-n-cheese, any of the sandwiches, and especially the cake are all amazing! Great quality ingredients! You'll not regret going here! read more

It's a surprise. The salads are delicious and the service is fast and friendly. Really great decor and the food is very good, and different from the other places in town. It may take a couple trips to really figure out the flow and where everything is, but that's half the experience. The only caveat--you order as you walk in--And are asked to tip before even sitting down in the place! About as odd as it gets.... read more

Just ate here for the first time. It was GREAT! We all ordered a different dish and dessert. There was not one thing I didn't like, and it was the best I've ever tasted. When we move to Pensacola, in a few months, this will be a go to restaurant for us!! read more

I ate here based on the reviews and was not disappointed! My grandmother and I shared the chicken salad sandwich with a side of coleslaw, can't remember the name of the pizza we had but it was served with grilled chicken, pesto, and Roma tomatoes. Too bad I live in Atlanta because I would love to eat here on a regular basis. So many choices and the salads looked amazing!! read more

Wide variety of options for the whole family & EVERYTHING I've tried has been delicious! They take good care of their customers too!!!

I ordered the Newk's favorite salad through doordash. I noticed my dasher got to the restaurant about 2 minutes after i put in my order. This made me nervous thinking he/she would just grab the "grab n go" salad that they make on the side. I customized my salad that's why i was skeptical that my dasher arrived so quickly. I called Newk's to inform them about the changes i made to my salad, no artichokes add avocados, extra grapes, and extra dressing. The women i spoke to the first time informed me she would double check the salad and make sure it was correct. When the dasher arrived to my work with my food, my order was wrong and missing the avocados that i paid extra to have. Of course this upset me since i had called Newk's and informed them that my salad was customized . I was informed that it would be double checked for accuracy. So i called Newk's again to let them know that my order was still messed up. When i called the second time Erin had answered and immediately knew who i was and repeated my order back to me. I expressed that my salad was still wrong and she gave me 2 options. 1 she could run down to my office and drop off the avocados or credit me back. I asked her to please drop off the avocados because i love them with this salad. ERIN YOU ARE AMAZINGGGGGGGG!!!! She drove and dropped off my avocados and some complimentary dessert. She did not have to drive back down to my office and i am forever grateful she did. She deserves a huge SHOUT OUT in putting up with me and making sure I was 100% satisfied with her service. Thank you again so much Erin!!!! You should get Performer of the Month. YOU ROCK! read more

I went in, hopeful because it's a new restaurant and a new experience. Firstly, the menu was inconveniently far away from where you order. I was excited when I saw mac & cheese though, and got the combo with the standard mac & cheese along with the club sandwich. When I ordered I was pleasantly surprised that the drink cups were actual cups that can be kept and reused at home. After I got my drink I went to sit down. I was again pleasantly surprised at how many different types of seating options were available. From a table with a booth seat on one side, to full booth, to table, to the big booth with the circle booth for large parties, I enjoyed the options. We picked a traditional booth. Once I sat down, I saw the art on the walls, which was the epitome of kitsch. It was lurid, garish colors painted in varying shapes on canvas. Not the most pleasant sight to the eye, but I digress. My food came out after a reasonable amount of time, not super fast but it wasn't that long. The first thing that hit me was how that the portion sizes were quite small. My brothers each got a cheese pizza, the kid and adult portions, and they were both small and thin. My club sandwich was on a sub roll and was decidedly bland and remarkably unremarkable. The mac & cheese was pretty good, and I'd wish I had more to eat but it barely constituted a side, much less the other half to my combo. Given that all of the combos are the same price, I would have probably gotten more food had I gone with a combo that stuck with the soup, salad, and sandwich options. It was nice though to not have to clear my own table. The real core of my problem was that I'd seen it all before. It was like a rework of Jason's Deli with fewer options and no ice cream. Overall I probably wouldn't go again, and wouldn't recommend. There are far better places to eat in town rather than a repackaged chain. read more

Think of Newk's as an upscale version of Jason's Deli. It works pretty much the same way--you walk in, place your order and pay at the register where they hand you a number and a cup for your drink. The drinks are self-serve. The salads are prepared rather than a salad bar. The condiments bar has some tasty items such as roasted garlic (great when you want to be left alone at work after lunch!), pickles, and other items I didn't try. I had a Greek Salad and small soup. The servings were very large and the food was delicious! The prices are upscale for a soup/sandwhich place, even more upscale than Jason's. I'll definitely go back, but it will be an every-once-in-awhile sort of thing. read more

We just tried Newk's and I thought it was very good. The first thing I noticed was that for a sandwich place it has a nice upscale design. This is not a Subway. You put your order in when you walk in the door. You are given a number and you find a seat. It's a pristinely clean and comfortable place with a nice atmosphere, and we were served our meal promptly. We shared a large bowl of their Sunday Soup of the Day--Lobster and Crab Bisque, and it was delicious! My son and I swapped half of our sandwiches, but I wish I had kept my whole Pimento Cheese sandwich because it was amazing! It was like a high class grilled cheese sandwich. Just awesome! My son ordered the Royal, which had several tasty meats, but far too much Creole mustard for me. I thought the heavy mustard hid most of the flavor of the sandwich, but he loved it. I tasted my husband's Italian sandwich, which would have been great, but again too much "Italian Sauce" for my taste. I would ask them to go light on those condiments. As a side you can choose from chips, pasta salad, cole slaw, fruit, or "Tippah County" Caviar (cold black eyed pea salad.) The black eyed pea salad was ok, but I wouldn't order it again. The pizzas looked great, and the large salads looked even better. Everything looked and tasted so fresh. This placed surprised me. I definitely want to try some of their other menu items. I will be back! read more

We went Monday Feb 15. Cashier could be a lot more polite . She told other cashier to finish taking our order and abruptly walked away. Everything looked clean. Our food came out quickly. I had soup and half sandwich. Dining partner had salad with tuna and soup. Salad was really nice. The soup was below average and very glutenous. Would not order that again. My sandwiche was messy and seemed like it was thrown together. Very messy. For lunch I will probably not return. So back to Zoe's for lunch. We are always happy there. read more

Seriously? No alcoholic (liquor) beverages? OMG...not a place to take a group of people who have mixed tastes. I heard the food was mediocre, and now I've heard about the drinks. Sorry, Newk's, but you're not as attractive as we would like. read more
