Would definitely try the buns with a different protein. I sat in for a couple of hours and chilled as well. Overall a good experience!

The lady at the counter was so inviting and was amazing at making additional suggestions for us. The food came out timely and was beyond tasty. When paying I asked "who gets the tip?" (I don't ever leave a tip at eateries like this simply for the person taking my order lol) and this is when I learned that she was the manager of the location. I proceeded to with my tip even though she could receive it knowing it would be split amongst her amazing staff. The facility was clean, bathrooms were tidy and the atmosphere was quiet and quaint. I tried the Newk's Q pizza and my SO got my usual for the 1st time the Newk's Q sandwich. They both tasted delicious. Thank you Charlene for your exceptional service, bubbly personality, knowledge of menu items, and for the convo and laughs.

I order from Newk's frequently and typically get the same items--a BBQ pizza, sometimes with a…read moreCaesar salad. Unfortunately, I've consistently noticed an issue with how pickup orders are handled. The pizza is always placed on an unheated pickup shelf, and by the time I arrive, it's already cold. Today, I ordered both the pizza and a Caesar salad. The salad was sitting on the top shelf, which is not temperature controlled, and it was noticeably warm when I picked it up. The pizza, on the lower shelf, was cold as usual. After experiencing this multiple times, I decided to leave a review. Shortly after posting, I received a text message--presumably from the owner--that came across as dismissive and rude. I want to be clear that I'm not looking for anything free. My concern is simply about food safety and quality. A pickup station without temperature control raises valid concerns, especially when items like salads contain dairy products that shouldn't sit at room temperature. As a regular customer who orders takeout often and dines in about once a month, this experience was disappointing. Rather than addressing the concern, the response I received felt accusatory, as if my review was written with ulterior motives. Because of this, I've decided to take my business elsewhere.

The pork was spongy in a way that I haven't experienced before. The spring rolls were the least offensive thing we ordered, but they were void of any flavor. Where are the fresh herbs?? I normally wouldn't even write a review for a small business like this, but this isn't good Vietnamese food and I hope to warn the next person driving south through Montgomery looking for a quick, light, flavorful, fresh meal. Find something else. Wait until you pass though New Orleans and try ordering Vietnamese again there. p.s. The name has changed to Pho Life, maybe the pho is good, but, the bun is not. And charging $9 for an iced coffee is too much.

From the first time coming ive never been disappointed. Love the fact that there is always specials including different meats & side to choose from. Also the fact that there is more menu options if what is provided isn't what I wanted. Been numerous of occasions and haven't worried about my food being brought out in reasonable timing and to add, it ALWAYS been freshly cooked. Service is TERRIFIC servers and staffing are very polite and kind. Would recommend anyone to come I they're wanting to enjoy good southern cooked meals!! read more

The place is not the cleanest-- floors needed vacuuming, chairs were held together with duck tape.. but I pressed on hoping the food would redeem the space. Service was friendly. However, it was awkward listening to the waiter/waitresses/hostess/ kitchen staff have a conversation with each other across the entire restaurant. This was especially true after a patron sent something back and the kitchen came out loudly exclaiming that they wanted to see the food that "wasn't good enough." I had the fried chicken, greens, okra, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and the tastiest fried skin/breading. That's where the goodness stops. The turnip greens were flavorless and complete mush, as though they had been sitting on the heat all day. Mashed potatoes were clearly from a box based on the consistency, color and flavor. Gravy had no flavor as well. There wasn't enough salt on the table to make it all better. The okra came out about 15min after we got our plates. It was fresh, but again, flavorless. My husband had the fried pork chop. It was just okay -- cooked well, zero flavor. Butter beans were good flavor wise, but definitely seemed to have been sitting for a while. It was odd to us that the only things you could get to drink were water, tea, lemonade, milk, and coffee. The second star is only for the chicken. I doubt we'll go back because the above experience for $50 is not worth it.

We had Jaguar's Spot cater a group of students and their presence, presentation, and taste left a lasting impression. This is a family owned business that's a collective collaboration across three generations. The care put into the service and the setup was top tier. The time they took to answers questions and present themselves really allowed us to connect with their history and their contribution to food in this city/region. And then the food was exceptional. We actually had two meals catered, one comprised of veggies, ribs, and sausages. The other was a burger bar + ice cream. Both nights the meals were incredible with great flavor and balanced seasoning, very filling, and left our group wondering "can we have them cater again?" Thank you to the team and the family behind this operation. You have cultivated something very special. -- Review updated June 2026 -- Finally made it into the restaurant. They don't just talk a big catering game, but they bring in when you bring yourself too. The restaurant is located in Millbrook in a plaza that is welcoming and has plenty of parking. The inside is setup fully themed and set. They have weekly activities that get folks bonding, a table of games for entertainment in between wait times. They have a stage and setup for karaoke and even a duet if you desire. We were graced with a performance from one of the grand-daughters of establishment--what a tranquil and powerful voice.
