This has to be one of the dirtiest Newks that I've ever been to. Food is the same, but stained upholstery, sticky tables and just overall worn look to this establishment. read more

Black and blue salad is a keeper! Huge portions. Nice people. I like the menu as something is always tempting. I don't find it $$$ but I live in San Diego LOL read more

The food was moderately good the staff was polite but what I look for in a food establishment next to quality food is cleanliness! The bathroom was slippery and water all over the counters, there was water all over the dining area floors with just wet floor signs up, but no one attended to the issue, the booth benches needed to be clean and the silverware was awful. I was here before noon and at the time it wasn't even busy. AND it was very unpleasant to step around bird feces as you walk in and out of the restaurant! read more

Sign up for their birthday club! They will email you a coupon for a free meal and drink for your birthday. My son and I went for my birthday lunch and they gave us the entire meal for free because I had the coupon. And their pickles at the bar are the best. Not too sour, a little sweet. read more

VERY good! Tho my husband & I couldn't spend $30 every day for salad for lunch! That's really the only reason for 4 stars. This was our 2nd visit here when passing thru. First was in June. Very good salad choices. Also have sandwiches & pizzas. See pic of menu I posted. Menu is on the wall when you walk in. Table with serve yourself O&V, shredded parm, breadsticks, banana peppers, & more. Only issue is the bowl size for the half salad. It's TOO SMALL! But the salad is not! Got the 1/2 Caesar. Good dressing! Added a dozen shrimp for $6.50-couldn't get a 1/2 order on the 1/2 salad. We will definitely go back when passing thru Waco. read more

Newk's Eatery - The menu! - Pizza Near Me - Waco, Texas

First off, again Yelp guided me to good food. Secondly, why aren't there any Newk's in California? The sandwiches and soups are very good. The table full of serve-yourself pickles, onions, breadsticks, grated cheese and croutons is a great thing to have in a restaurant like this. Kids loved it and we found ourselves here a few times during our Texas travels. read more

I am love with the salads...good selection. Just my first trip. I Get a feeling with free wifi it would be a Waco favorite . Like to see them try some organic,whole grain,healthy choices ,nitrate free,no MSG Friendly,helpful staff. Clean,comfortable seating. read more

Salads are huge! ....prices are too however I would recommend this eatery. I like the additional items you can add to your salads especially capers and jalepenos. Definitely worth a visit. read more

New management apparently needed. They were out of cups (no big deal as they had red solos and drinks were free). But, they were also out breadsticks and the croutons were all stale! Someone isn't doing their job... Newk's need to look at this location. I eat at a Newk's in my hometown of Plano very often and it is never like this. C'mon Waco! read more

Wow. I have had better sandwiches at a gas station. The pasta salad had zero flavor. Threw it away. Tried the roast beef sandwich, do yourself a favor and skip that one. The bread just tasted like nothing. The corn and crab soup resembles an onion soup. The red velvet cake was dry. Really dry. 40 dollars for this? How are you staying in business? What a sheer disappointment. read more

Delicious! Delicious! Friendly staff! Their condiments bar is so great. Lots of goodies to snack on. They have reusable cups which is a nice treat for customers and great menu. Their Cobb salad is divine and the strawberry cake is just incredible. You will not be disappointed. read more

Went to Newk's Eatery for lunch while on business. As others have noted, this is very much a replica of McAlister's. In fact I think that it was created by the same guy that created the McAlister's. When I arrived, line was long, but they immediately brought more help to the front to move to the line along. I ordered the Newk's Favorite salad minus the artichoke hearts. The salad was good and the dressing was good. Just enough toppings and gorgonzola cheese to go great with the chicken and greens. I would recommend this place and specifically the Newk's Favorite salad. read more

Went there last Sunday, August 23, 2015 around 12:30 pm. Although the restaurant was crowded, the food was well worth the wait. The food is expensive, but absolutely delicious and plenty to eat. I will definitely go back to Newk's. Highly recommend everyone to try it out. Fresh and tasty... WWW.BATKAR.ARTISTWEBSITES.COM read more

This place is aight' lol! I walked in and it was kinda confusing. The menu is on the side of the wall. I was a looking at a catering menu for 15 minutes trying to figure out what I wanted. I was wondering why there were very few items in the menu. It was only when the line died down that I was able to see the wall with the menu, so it's not high up, look for the wall on the right next to the bathrooms? Lol! Anyways, prices are kinda high. It's a high price sandwich and salads kinda place. The kind of place to take a semi casual date when you don't want to spend too much money on but not look to cheap lol! Let's keep it real guys, and girls lol! Anyway, had the Cesar chicken salad. The full size serving was quite a lot. I finished the whole thing, partly cause I like to talk and eat...wow I must look pretty horrible doing that haha! Anyways, salad was good, sweet tea was okay, cleanliness of the place was mediocre. Tables were dirty, we had to settle on the one cleaned one with the wobbly leg, was a lil annoying. Was gonna take pics of all the dirty tables but didn't wanna make it ovious. Anyways, at your own risk, proceewith caution lol! read more

Newk's Eatery - Kinda ,sorda? Maybe ? .....hmmm, idk. - Pizza Near Me - Waco, Texas

I love this place! First time at this location. The staff was nice, the place was clean. I had the turkey avocado with a salad and it was delicious! However, this time I enjoyed the sandwich more than that salad! The pickles are the deal! read more

Awesome service from TK this evening! Made my order of Ahi Tuna salad and slice of red velvet cake even more delightful.!!

Excellent food and service. The Newk's salad is divine and this place was hugely busy but efficient and quick during my midweek lunch visit. read more

Newk's in the Marketplace is a fine soup, salad and sandwich shop. The food is fresh and the wait is very reasonable. If you buy a large drink, you can bring it back for free unlimited refills. Great place for everyone to enjoy! I enjoy the grilled chicken sandwich with the potato soup with fresh iced tea! Enjoy! read more

Had the Spicy Chicken Pizza & Caesar Salad for lunch. The service was quick and the food was wonderful! We had a large group and needed some tables put together for 13 and Jesse the Manager was excellent getting that together for us quickly! Great experience! read more

I enjoyed this experience so much that I can't wait to go back and try a new menu item! I love that the giant menu board on the wall as you enter not only lists the items offered but also the ingredients in each item. They have a very good selection of sandwiches, salads, soups, pizzas, and dessert. I also love that they offer tea sweetened with Splenda (which I ordered and loved!). I explained to the young man at the counter that this was my first visit and he was very knowledgable about the menu items and making suggestions. He also explained the process of getting your drink, the freebie condiment table that was loaded with sauces, crackers, croutons, and lots of other goodies to compliment your selection, and how my order would be delivered to my table. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on wheat with a side of fresh fruit. THE BEST CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH I'VE EVER HAD!! Soooooo good! The restaurant was clean (bathroom included) and everyone I encountered was smiling and very friendly. I recommend this location 100%. read more

It was a pretty average place. Similar to a Panera bread. Just average. The atmosphere is nice and the menu is a little different but not much else I could say. read more

This place is a great addition to Waco! The salad is really good and competitively priced with Panera just down the street. And the pizza is above average but the ambiance is better (IMHO) than Panera's. Since I go to school in Waco, I will definitely be making more stops here... read more

The restaurant is nice, the food is good, but the service is TERRIBLE. My friends and I went one night and although the restaurant was basically desolate, the service was a hot mess. I understand that not every night is perfect so this is something I can get over, but what I can't get over is being berated by the staff. An older woman was straight up rude to my friends and I after we had experienced many complications with our food. She was sassy and certainly did not seem to care about our happiness, only proving her own authority. read more

I don't know why I hadn't visited Newk's before. I ordered the Turkey Avocado sandwich and my girlfriend ordered the spicy chicken pizza. They were both fantastic. The fruit that and with my sandwich was tender and not inedibly hard like most places (McAlister's/Panera etc.). We will definitely be returning. read more

This was my second time here and it's a great place to come. I had the tomato basil soup & it was GREAT!! I'm not a big tomato soup fan, but this one is SOOO tasty; highly recommended!! I also got the Cesar salad & it was good. I like that they have it set up to where you can get your own croutons, pickles, banana peppers, cheese & spices. The croutons are tasty too, I wonder if they make their own? They have three options for tea; unsweetened tea, sweet tea & tea sweetened by Splenda (I think this is a great option). Other than selling soups, salads & sammiches they have pizza's. So next time I go thats what I'm gonna go for... Highly recommended that you go check this place out. read more

The place is clean, but the food is not good, had the grilled steak sandwich, the meat was very dry & had a strange taste to it, & the roll was toasted too much, my husband got the Margherita pizza, it was rubbery & gummy & it had 3 specks of basil on it, sent that back & he got the chicken salad sandwich, the chicken was dry & had no flavor, there was no sliced grapes or pecans pieces in it. Won't be back read more

I hate to write a negative review, but I have to on this one... The food was decent, but the service was not my favorite, only because I was kind of lied to. My very first visit to this place ended in me sending my chicken salad sandwich back because I found a hair in it... There were a few girls working right by the food & they didn't have hair nets on. My mom had commented on that, but the supervisor just said that that's because they don't make the food, they just deliver it... But a hair still managed to get in my food. The manager offered to refund me, but I'd paid with debit card, so he said he'd get my ticket & refund me, but it may not process for a day or two. I looked at my account a week later & I'd never been refunded. Honestly, its not the fact that I didn't get refunded that bugged me (It was only $8 or so.). It was mainly that they told me they would refund me & they didn't. I think that is poor management & of course, he could have forgotten, but still... You shouldn't say you're going to do something & then not do it. After all of this, I may go back if a friend suggests it, but on my own, I won't go back. I'll stick with Panera Bread for my sandwiches, soups & salads. read more

Never heard of this place before, looks like its a small chain, one of the healthiest delicious meals you will get for your money, plus the great service, ordered an Ahi Tuna sandwich and it was perfect, came back second time and ordered a meditranian pizza and very impressed read more

Great food, but that bathroom! It smells like straight up sewage. Has since the day it opened. Owners clearly don't give a $&#+. You can even see the sewage seep out of the foundation along the sidewalk out front. They should be ashamed. Sometimes you see customers come out of the bathroom with the neck of their shirt pulled over their nose. It's that bad. For real. I would gladly give 5 stars were it not for the stench. read more

Pepperoni pizza is good. I was not too happy with the five cheese pizza. It was swimming in pesto sauce. Not great tasting. I think next time I will try it without the pesto sauce. The crab and potato soup is good too. read more

I usually like Newk's, and it used to be my favorite place to eat with friends. I went today to order a Caesar salad and, I know it's a weird request, but a plain turkey sandwich with nothing but turkey and lettuce. When I got my meal, it was on wheat bread and had cheese on it, which wasn't a super big deal but I was peer pressured to return it. Our server was super nice, and returned my sandwich. When I got it back, I looked at it and took a small bite. I heard a little laughter from the kitchen. I don't think these two things were related, but I had a small feeling. I checked my sandwich and saw a huge avacado buried underneath the lettuce. I'm very allergic to avacodos, so I'm glad I caught this before I ate it. I've usually liked Newk's but I think their service may be suffering currently. So sorry for this poor review. read more

I love Newks.... They are amazing. Great service, the best sandwiches and there soups are so amazing!!! So good for a "light" lunch!

Newk's is one of our all time favorite places to eat. Always great food. The staff is very friendly. It is always clean and we love the warm atmosphere. We treat ourselves here at least once a week. You will love this place! read more

They have axing salads. The Newks salad is great. Ask to have dressing on the side. They give you a lot of dressing.

It's sad but true that though the food is decently good, the carry out service is baaaaad. Our office (for some reason) consistently orders in lunch from this place and they regularly leave off entire entrees. This has happened three times. I know, I know...You'd think we'd catch on and double check the order before we leave. It's just that I don't think I should have to sort through eight to ten orders and double check every single one, when I just spent almost $100 on lunch. That seems like someone else's job to me. read more

I can't actually give a review if the food or service at this place because when we walked in on an early Sunday afternoon, we were hit with a stench so bad that we had to leave immediately. It was a mix of old seafood, sewer, and burnt bread. I'm not sure how it was possible to have those three horrible smells together in this one place, but they managed it somehow. read more

It's a decent sandwich place. It's comparable to a McAlister's as far as the format and menu choices. They do have these breadsticks that are pretty tasty. The price is a bit high for the Waco area. It's more in line with what I'd expect to pay in bigger metropolitan areas. It's certainly not prohibitively expensive. read more

Great salads. Great soup! Different soups daily. Great staff. A must eat at place whenever I am in Waco!

One of my favorite lunch places, I've been going to different ones since high school and often get a craving for it! A few of my favorites: Cesar salad, grilled chicken sandwich with pesto instead of mayo/mustard, Debra pizza, and tomato soup with grilled cheese read more
