Newks

If only they had more vegan-​friendly options, like adding avocado or tofu to their salads, I would gladly give them five stars.
My family goes there for lunch pretty often and they are great. They are super kid-​friendly, their food quality is extremely consistent, and their service is also very consistent and very good. I order a customized veggie pizza every time I’m there and they have never gotten my order wrong. It’s great that they have their nutritional information online. The restaurant is always neat and clean. They always (when I’ve gone) have a fully staffed ordering counter and consistently greet customers when they walk in. They always read my order back to me and ask if I want a receipt.
And they have freshly brewed iced tea with Splenda in it!
And of course they have garlic cloves, sweet pickles, banana peppers, croutons, breadsticks, and Saltines on the condiment table.

It was a solid meh. I had a soup and salad. I know the pickle bar is one of the highlights and I guess I saw nothing special other then the pickled garlic.

This place is great. I’ve eaten here several times and never been disappointed. The menu offers regular food and fun food. The pizza is great and the sandwiches are perfect. There is hardly any wait and the place is always busy at supper time. The prices are reasonable too! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I really love being able to see into the food prep area. It’s always clean and the location is great. We LOVE Newks!

Food is always fresh. A few times my sandwich, Newks Q, was smothered in sauce making it messy to eat. I have never had a bowl of soup here that I didn’t like. Service is friendly.

(Edit: Changed to 4 stars. Reason: The food is just so good I have to overlook the pricing issue. My comments below still apply though.)
I used to think this was a 4 – 5 star joint. The service is incredible and the food is delicious. Sadly, the portions are getting smaller. The manager told me that they were not. I guess it’s a perception issue or my renewed love of exercise causes my arms to think everything is lighter (and my stronger eyes make every thing look smaller?).
Side note: $ 6 for a small side of pimento Mac and cheese!!! 2 out of two people that ordered it that day agree that is nuts. Is it made with white truffle? Rhino horn? I won’t be back for a while.

Awesome food a lil pricey though. But it was on the company so I’m not trippen!
Got the Italian and the simply salad. The hot ass pickles did the trick! I’ll hit this spot again when I come back to Flowood.

This joint is solid! Ordered a black and Bleu salad and it was executed to perfection. The best gosh darn salad I’ve had in a long time and the meat… MEEEEEAT! Was cooked medium rare! Love it. And it was delivered to my table at warp speed. I definitely recommend this place. They seem to e well
Organised and care about putting out an excellent product.

Always enjoys Newks when in Jackson. Great spot for lunch… soup, salads and sandwiches. Quick service!

Went to this Newks while on vacation. I love the favorite salad with the chicken, Gorgonzola cheese, artichoke, the works… And the service was friendly. I wish CA had a Newks.

Felt like getting Newked tonight. Have seen the places all over Jackson and finally decided to try it before I head to Chicago next weekend for a long while. Food was good, had the Italian with pasta salad. Friendly and helpful staff. Decided to get a dessert because I saw the awesome looking cakes, The Red Velvet was calling my name, so I got a piece to go. Once I got back to the place opened up my package to put in the fridge was a little disappointed… the piece of cake was about half the size of the piece they had sitting in the window. Will taste later to see how much I am going to either miss the other half or be glad I didn’t get the whole piece… update either late tonight or tomorrow :)

If you haven’t tried the Newk’s Q sandwich, you need to get there now. Seriously, I have never had white BBQ sauce. It is ridiculous. I head to this place as soon as I get off the plane on my infrequent trips home. I wish htey had these in CA.

Still as good as always! Sunday Tradition.

Great sandwiches, soups, and salads. Tea too.
I like the Newk’s Favorite salad with the sherry vinaigrette dressing.
Newk’s is the better big brother of McAlister’s deli (same family/​company I believe)

Yum! One of my favorite places to eat while I was staying in Jackson.
The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, my favorite dish (half Cesar salad, w/​dressing on the side) varied from location to location. The one in Flowood did an amazing job of always providing the same salad, however in Brandon it was always a hit or miss. Be careful of the cheese on the condiment table (one bin is usually super fresh, and the other is stale and foul smelling). Also, the staff at the Newks in Brandon, were very rude, and we’re not so quick to offer a replacement salad whenever they got the order wrong (hello! i’m paying $ 6.00 for some lettuce and cheese the least you could do is get my order right). All-​in-​all great place for casual dining & great chicken salad!

The story I heard is that the people that started McAlister’s Deli (and subsequently sold it for big bucks) also started Newk’s. The result is a great casual restaurant with gourmet pizzas and sandwiches, fresh salads, and good hearty soups. Just a great lunch spot overall. The condiments table in the middle stocked with sweet pickles, imported breadsticks, roasted garlic, peppers, and more is especially fun! I have to come back for the desserts next time.

Great food and excellent desserts!
