Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Over 9 dollars for a half sandwich and salad, but more than worth it. Everything is made fresh. There's a condiment/pickles/croutons/breadsticks bar in the middle of the place. Caesar salad was tasty with home made Caesar Dressing. I was free to add more croutons and shredded parmesan cheese from the center thing. The chicken salad came on this toasted bread. Best I've had in a while. Great selection and very friendly people. This is now my 5 start lunch place in Memphis/Southaven. Great alternative to BBQ, and given the quality of the BBQ I've had here so far. ... I'll take thiss everyday. The breadsticks are so yummy BTW. As are the B&B pickles, and every other thing they give away free. Capers, Roasted garlic, basil, oregano. ...really. ..I can add my own? Yum read more

Newk's Eatery - It's like going back in time... - Sandwiches Near Me - Southaven, Mississippi

The lobster crab bisque is better than any other I've ever had, including in Maine. The chicken sandwich with goat cheese and roasted peppers is my favorite. The chicken salad and pimento cheese are great as well. I'm not a salad eater, but their salads are huge. The sweet tea is a little too sweet. They have a large variety of good desserts, likes moist cakes and huge brownies. Newk's was started by the same guy that started McAlister's. It's a fairly local chain, as it too started in Oxford. It's a little more upscale than McAlister's and a tad bit more pricey. It's well worth the higher prices. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my husband. Always a nice experience and great place for a meet up with friends or a nice business lunch on the go. The food always seems fresh and the taste is good. I wish they offered the broccoli & cheese soup more often, it's my favorite but I never catch it. read more

One of my favorite places to go if I want soup and sandwich. I stared eating at this place in 2009-2011 or around that date.

"Mac and cheese" sludge... fruit cup with random pieces of cheese in it. The rest of the food was cold/undercooked. Terrible customer service. read more

I've been going to this Newk's in Southaven on Getwell for years at least 3 times a week prior to Covid. I like to support local and small business but I will no longer be a guest there. This has nothing to do with Covid because this particular employee has been there for years and has the same sour attitude and lack of customer service she has always had. She is older , maybe around 65, short with short hair and glasses. Never smiles and everytime I walk in and it's not busy , she is looking down; she doesn't see you or acknowledge you because she is looking down- I suspect playing with her phone. I stood there a full 15 minutes behind a guy at the other cashier with a huge order for his office( he was there over 40 minutes dealing with his takeout order) . One cashier dealing with him and the other woman , looking at her phone. She wasn't aware I was there. I was being polite and stood until she was done with whatever it was she was playing with. I had to go to work though. Still standing there waiting to be served a woman walks in behind me, she suddenly looks up from her phone and says " can I help you" and taker her order! Not only did the woman not get in line but she got her order taken right away ! So I get a little mad after she took the other woman's order she finally gets to me. I ask why she let her go in front of me and ignored taking my order for 15 minutes. The other cashier chimes in and tells me not to talk to her that way. Really! She isn't doing her job , and you don't want me to call her out!? As I thought about this later, that older woman has always done that. I remember walking in many many times and waiting for her to look up so I can approach with my order. But she doesn't. When she senses more people are coming in it gets her attention, she puts her phone away and starts working while exuding this attitude that she is doing you a favor to take your order. Because of her inefficiency to do her job the line built up a lot. If you are trying to stop in this Newk's for a quick work lunch don't bother. They have become super slow and inefficient. Might be best to go across the street and support Chic Fil-A. I also feel that they should have taken this guy with his order for 15 and handled him individually to not hold up everyone else for 40 minutes. Or he could have called his order in ahead. He was ordering off a piece of paper and not only was it a huge order but the cashier was chatting with him too not being efficient, while the other looking at her phone. Don't they know people have to go to work?? Don't they know it's a place to pop in and get a quick lunch ? Surely they understand..... read more

Probably my second time eating here. I ordered on the app at approximately 4:00 p.m. I ran a few errands and came to the restaurant at 4:30. My boyfriend goes in and retrieves the mobile order. He comes in and I realized he "forgot" to pick up our two pizzas. He heads in, talks to a worker. He texts me 5 minutes later saying, "They forgot to make the pizzas." read more

My co-workers picked this place for lunch. I'm not a big deli person but I gave it a go. The place looked pretty cool. I didn't have a lot of time to look so I tried the same things I usually like at McAlister's. Unfortunately I wasn't fond of what I got at all. A co-worker offered me the rest of her ham sandwich after she had eaten all she was going to. I noticed their salads were pretty popular and looked really good in their retro-shaped bowls. If I was ever to come again I would try a salad instead. read more

Went here because they have super moist cake and there is one in Charlotte. Therefore, eating here while on the road is a great/ safe way to try a place. Atmosphere - Busy, restaurant chain/ large deli styling, open kitchen, noisy, open, booths and tables, informal, green p-leather, linoleum flooring Food - Lots of choices. I had the grilled chicken sandwich/ por boy, a slice of pizza, ice tea and a slice of pineapple cake. The grilled chicken came on a delicious baguette. The pizza was surprisingly tasty with a tender thin crust and great sauce. The pineapple cake was definitely moist. Almost like a flavorful cake batter. Service - It was good for a place that takes your order, gives you a number and a tray, and then makes you wait for it to arrive. Everyone was friendly and the places was rocking with people. Overall - This is a great location for lunch with friends and family when you are hankering for some inexpensive and fresh tasting food. read more

Newk's Eatery - Chicken sandwich & fruit - Sandwiches Near Me - Southaven, Mississippi

I am so disappointed. I have been going to this Newk's for years with great food and service. But obviously management or ownership has changed. Most of the workers were unprofessional and definitely not helpful. They were sloppily dressed, and served our food wearing earbuds. When I tried to ask a question they couldn't even hear me because of the earbuds. They've stopped serving regular dishes and salad bowls. Instead, everything is given to you in to-go plasticware. They tried to blame it on COVID but I know this is not true! The food was not good. Chicken was burnt. Don't waste your time or money until something changes!!! read more

This place is not what it used to be ever since it changed ownership/management. My wife and I came to this location to get lunch and the total cost of the meal was $35 for the two of us which wouldn't have been an issue if the food and service were good. The chicken on my chicken club sandwich and my wife's Newks Q sandwich was so hard and dry it was inedible and the bacon looked like it wasn't even cooked. A few years back before the change this place was packed during lunchtime hours...I guess walking in and seeing hardly any customers during the lunch rush should've been a clue. If you're going to charge ridiculous prices then a least make sure your food is good! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on this place! read more

I have been a Newk's customer for 5+ years. Food has always been good or better. Yesterday, on my way home from work, I went to Newk's to pick up a sandwich my wife had asked me to get for her. There are signs on the door specifying a mask must be worn to enter. No problem there as our city has a mask order in place. I ordered our food to go and paid for it. While I was waiting for it, I noticed that most of the employees at the counter and in the food prep area had on masks, but they were pulled down to leave the nose and for some, even the mouth exposed (pretty effective use of a mask). I commented on this and a manager spoke to me and said that these are young kids, and it gets hot behind a mask so they just pull them down to breathe better. I noted that if they are preparing food, the nose should be covered. She seemed to be unconcerned. I was more than a little irked. Their food is good, but their hygiene in the food prep area is abysmal. I don't see myself returning there in the future. For this reason, I rate them at the very bottom. Thumbs down! read more

Stopped in on Friday 3/8 at 12:30pm. First time at this location but I have had lunch quite a few times at others. Usual size crowd; maybe a little thinner than usual. Ordered a shrimp poboy and grabbed a drink and waited. 25 minutes later...........they delivered my food and said they were sorry they lost the ticket. Ok. I get it. It happens. I had time to wait. They apologized and all good. Got back to my office to find my shrimp was half cooked. Well that I can't over look. Tossed it in the trash and made up my mind I won't be back to this location again. read more

First timer! Went after church on a Sunday. Place was packed! Food came out hot and fast. I tried the new cauliflower pizza crust and it was amazing. read more

They have quite a lot of options on their menu so it took me a few minutes to decide on what to get and I decided on a steak sandwich with a side of fruit and a fountain drink. I ordered the horseradish spread on the side and it came exactly how I ordered it. They have a small bar with a few extras (like pickles and croutons) you can add to your food along with a lot of packaged breadsticks that you add to your meal if you are so inclined. It was pretty good, but I do think it was a bit pricey (at around 10 bucks) for what and how much you get. Overall, not a bad place (if you don't mind eating at a chain restaurant) to grab a quick bite to eat if you don't mind paying a little bit more it. read more

Newk's Eatery - Steak Sandwich (horseradish sauce on the side) with fruit - Sandwiches Near Me - Southaven, Mississippi

Several booths were "out of order" which made finding a table even harder. Order our food and 12:26 and received our food at 1:13...... never in my life have I waited that long at a Newk's for my food. I also notice my order was rang up incorrectly and had someone check on it. It was still made wrong but after seeing several people wait even longer for remakes. It wasnt worth it. And our sandwiches were not the freshest. And there was no sweet tea. Finding someone to correct the issues was impossible because no one was present. Will not return to this Newk's. read more

Newk's Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Southaven, Mississippi

Newks is a classic American cafe that offers a wide variety of freshly made pizza, sandwiches & salads. It's restaurant that I've walked by for years without stopping in. I'm glad I stopped by for a quick pick. A friend recommended their grab n go which is like a deli selection of pre-made sandwiches, sides, soup, etc. I grabbed some chicken salad. Delicious! The perfect mix of grapes & pecans with a bit of celery & chunky white meat chicken. Perfect on a ritz cracker. I'll definitely check them out again for a sit down experience. read more

This place is the Bomb! Traveling from San Diego it's hard to find healthy food in Memphis and this place is great! Salads, soups, sandwiches they're all delicious. read more

Food has always been good, but it is hard to mess up salads, soups, and sandwiches. Place is typically very clean and inviting. Biggest drawback is the cost. Seems to be expensive for what they're selling. Hate to spend $30 for me, my wife, and my son. read more

First time here. I ordered the pimento cheese sandwich and a side of the Tippah County Caviar(black eyed peas salad) and a cup of mushroom soup. Best pimento sandwich ever! The mushroom soup was excellent too. The wife ordered the steak sandwich minus the caramelized onions. Well, it came with onions anyway. Promptly sent it back and the manager brought out a fresh sandwich just minutes later with her apologies. She then gave us a free dessert for our troubles. Didn't ask for it , but it was a very nice offer. This sandwich was very good and the horseradish sauce was a great dipping item. They also have a free condiment bar. It consisted of pickled peppers, roasted garlic, pickles, croutons and any kind of hot sauce imaginable. We will definitely be going back! read more

Placed a to go order online on the way to work 40 minutes in advance before I arrived. Cashier with braces offered me someone else order but I declined and said I have a salad. Then told me it wasn't ready yet but I could see it. I politely asked "are you sure?" And she said no. As I waited patiently, an employee young child ran thru the kitchen with no shoes. Then she calls me after noticing 5 minutes later the salad was ready the whole time. But instead of apologize she rolled her eyes at me like I did something wrong to her. Terrible experience and unacceptable service. read more

Tried to call in and place a to go order. They left me on hold for a while. Tried to call back and got a busy signal. Called for a third time and it kept ringing and ringing until it stopped. Poor way to run a business. read more

Each time I come here, I always have had a great experience. I usually get food to go because the lunch crowd can be overwhelming. Grilled Chicken or Salmon Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, & Chicken Salad are among my faves. I have found the service to be great--never an issue really. read more

Unfortunately my family and I used to love eating here but DO NOT eat here. The whole staff gas lighted my mom in front of our entire family and restaurant when kid ringing her up stole her gift card at the register. When asked, the manager was snippy and said it wasn't her own fault and that she was not going to help my mother. My mom then proceeded to ask the kids name and the manager wouldn't tell her and said that all corporate complaints go straight to her own email. It wasn't the ten dollars that mattered but how they made my own mom feel so small and violated. Terrible horrible service. Looked at previous reviews and saw that managers will make prude comments to female workers. Never supporting here again. read more

Having grown up in North Mississippi, I've always been partial to McCalisters Deli which is based out of Oxford, MS. When Newks Eatery came along I was skeptical to try them (and a little offended that someone else was trying to cut into "McCD"'s pie). Having tried them I do enjoy them now both equally. That back story being said, today my wife and I came to Newks for a small lunch (she was craving their Spicy Shrimp Pizza). I ended up getting a half sandwich & soup combo (the wife got her pizza and a salad & soup too!) Now let me tell you - of their four choices of soup for the day, the wife decided on Loaded Potato Soup, so that's what I went with also (don't judge). At first spoonful, oh... It was a spectacularly transformative experience. The simplicity of the dish would not be one that you would typically associate with sophisticated complexity that Potato Soup is NOT known for. In summation, the Loaded Potato Soup was a delectable delight that satisfied my soul, enriched my spirit and transformed my perception of this simple dish, from plainly pleased to superbly satisfied. Looking forward to next Tuesday!!! read more

Ordered lunch for a group & they did a great job of making sure order was ready fast & correct.

This location is going downhill, I normally eat here at least 2-3 times a week for lunch, and for the last few visits there has always been a problem. Hopefully this reaches someone that can make a positive change to this location because this was once was my favorite lunch spot, but now I can go in and expect for my order to be wrong, food cold after waiting for the order at the table for over 30 minutes, bar not stocked, or filthy tables with flies. This is not a good look, Newk's I need for you all to regroup and make this place home again. read more

I love the Newk's chain, they have fantastic selections and their sandwiches, pizzas, and salads are my go-to. You can't go wrong with what you order, and not only is their sweet tea incredible, they have a fantastic Splenda sweetened tea that tastes almost like real sweet tea. Highly recommended! read more

Want a huge salad, here ya go! Salads always seem fresh and have quality ingredients. Sandwiches are normally just as good as the fresh soups. Cannot think of any Newk's in town that is not packed for lunch. Some salads come in halves, but wishing smaller versions of their salads were available. read more

This place is a great place if you want sandwich, salad, soup, or a small pizza. I first went to one in jonesboro, AR. Seems to be more of the south since i've never heard of one till AR, MS. Ive tried at least one of each type of item they have. Recently my husband got the adult grilled cheese and tomato soup which was pretty good. I got the steak and onion sandwich which was good though onions overpowering and wish i wouldve asked for more of the sauce. read more

Great chicken sandwich and lobster bisque soup. Lots of extras to choose from as well as good customer service.

I really like Newks their food is very fresh and is always top notch. I am not a value based consumer and I am willing to pay good money for a good meal, but I cannot reconcile price to quantity or quality here. I just spent 50 dollars for my wife and three kids to eat here. I can often times get out of full service restaurants for the same if not less. I love to indulge every now and then, but portion sizes just don't justify the expense for me. read more

Has the setup of your typical Newks. Today they had the Lobster Bisque soup which is a favorite one but it didn't taste the way it usually does. The tables were pretty dirty though and considering the fact that there were just 4 people eating counting myself and my girlfriend, cleanliness could have been better. The staff wasn't busy at all. But because of how not busy they were ill more than likely be back because I live uncrowned fed places. £ read more

Oredered online. Very simple order. Only thing that was requested was NO SLAW ON SANDWICH. it was FULL OF SLAW. This is ridiculous. Not the first time it has happened. Will never go back. read more

Menu is limited for types of bread for sandwiches. Place is spacious and staff friendly. Food is the "California" foo foo style if you're into that thing. No fat free or "reduced" salad dressing available. Salad is of large portion however, for over $11 it should be. It's ok, won't be a regular personally. Lastly, a single dollar sign would not be correct, 2 would be more honest considering a salad, sandwich and one drink at $25. read more

This place is amazing. The food is delicious. The fiance and I go usually in the evening, after the initial dinner rush. The crew is young, but they are all very polite, worth the drive from our place 30 minutes out. Two thumbs up to this location! read more

One of the best Newk's locations I've been to. My only qualm would be the young employees who are sometimes very snotty.

Enjoyed a nice lunch today at Newks. The roast beef was tender and tasty being a nice rare for juiciness! My spouse had the pesto chicken which was very good! We each got the half and half with her ordering the lobster and crab bisque which was superb! I had the beef chili which unfortunately tasted like it came from a can! That's why four stars instead of five. read more
