The portion sizes are good. My MIL got the kids pizza and does almost every time. She usually leaves with a piece or two leftover. I had the turkey sandwich and chips. If you like sweet tea, Newks is tasty. It has just the right amount of sweet for me, but they do have other options with Splenda and unsweeten.
Let me start with the star: the salad. This wasn’t just a leafy afterthought—it was the headliner. Their pesto chicken Caesar salad with bowtie pasta was alive with texture and vibrancy. The romaine was crisp and glistening, tossed generously with creamy Caesar dressing and a hint of pesto that added depth without being overpowering. The bowtie pasta absorbed the dressing perfectly, soft but not soggy, adding weight and body to the greens. Red bell peppers tucked between the lettuce brought a splash of brightness and crunch. The real secret? The croutons. Big, golden, and with that perfect audible crunch—they didn’t just sit on top; they announced themselves with every bite. The whole bowl tasted fresh, cold, and thoughtfully tossed. It was the kind of salad that makes you pause mid-bite and go, “Oh, wow.”
Now the broccoli cheddar soup—creamy, cheesy, and comforting in every way you’d hope for. Served warm, it was rich but not heavy, and the chunks of broccoli were hearty enough to feel like real food, not filler. The shredded cheddar on top melted in slowly, making each spoonful more decadent than the last. It balanced beautifully next to the freshness of the salad, grounding the meal with warmth.
To wash it down, I went with the iced tea—clean, cold, no artificial aftertaste. Just what it should be. Newk’s offers several varieties at their self-serve tea bar, but I kept it simple and refreshing.
And for dessert? A slice of coconut layer cake—three thick tiers of vanilla cake, layered with coconut icing and covered in sweet coconut flakes. It came chilled, clearly refrigerated, which slightly firmed the sponge and dulled that homemade fluffiness. Still, the flavor was on point: not too sweet, not too dense. It was a solid slice that just needed a few minutes out of the fridge to truly shine.
The space itself matches the food—comfortable, not pretentious. Wooden tables, bright red vinyl booths, and plenty of natural light make it a space that invites you to linger. There’s a calm energy to it, even when it’s busy. The drink station is clean and well-organized, and the grab-and-go section is stocked with salads, sandwiches, and dessert slices for those on the move.
In the end, it was the salad that left the strongest impression on me. Everything was good—but the salad was exceptional. I’d come back for that alone.
Standout Dish: Pesto Caesar Salad with Bowtie Pasta.
My husband had the pizza and I had a wrap with the crayfish pepper jack cheese soup. My son tried the soup and he was impressed. We will definitely order from Newk’s again.
My lunch choice
Paired soup with salad and chickn salad mix
I did not like my soup even though I was given a sample beforehand
. Oh, the white vein salad lettuce, chunks, I picked him out
But the salad was good and so was the dressing too many veins
I opted for the chicken salad on top and I didn’t like that. It was too salty
I also ate the lobster bisque soup, which I did not like it did not finish. It seemed to have that shellfish shells in the soup.Which was gross, So I left it,Didn’t finish it.
The other options look really good, like, really good looking sandwiches, they have cake slices to choose from and macaroni and cheese as well as pizza made to order
