Newk’s Express Cafe

First time here and satisfied. I ordered the Italian sub and it was good and actually a bit spicy! Since this is a college town, it’s colligy, but the atmosphere is just fine.

Good food, good service. But tables are distributed in an odd way. Many are out in the open, and most or all are near high-​traffic areas. Noise is encouraged by the hard tile floor and clanky ice machine. We got a table (they are 100% booth-​less) next to a window that afforded some traffic relief, but only some. In exchange, we found ourselves underneath a light that probably was last used as a spotlight in a WW-​II prison camp. Food was fine, but go elsewhere for comfort.

Clean restaurant, friendly service, and the food is really good. It’s an exceptional deli-​style restaurant.
The sandwiches are great– in particular, the Italian sandwich here is the best one I’ve ever had, and I’ve had my fair share of Italian sandwiches. Seriously, I’m not exaggerating. I wake up at night craving it. Try it. There’s no other words I can say about it. The Chicken Salad is pretty great too.
The side dishes are not bad either, but they weren’t that big nor were they particularly outstanding. They’re definitely a good compliment to the meal, but they’re not something I would walk in there and get all by themselves.
The drink cups are huge, high quality and refillable. Take them home– don’t throw them away– and use them. It’s big enough you can even put cereal and milk in it for your breakfast if you’re a college kid in a pinch.
Only gripe I have is portion size– it’s a bit small for the price especially when it comes to the side dishes. That’s not a huge deal, though, when you consider everything else.
Overall, probably one of the best restaurants in Oxford. I’m very pleased with the quality. I just wish they had delivery :/

I love newks. The soups are fantastic and I’ve never had a bad experience at the University location. Nothing beats the Newks Q and the Lobster crab bisque

Had the pesto chicken sandwich. The bread was amazing. Also had the Texas caviar but I wasn’t a fan of the sparkling vinegar. I would come back.

The Newk’s Q is probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The service is always very prompt and I’ve never waited more than a few minutes for any to-​go order I’ve ever had regardless of how busy they were.
Bottom line– if you’re in town an need a quick bite to eat, I don’t know why you’d go somewhere else. It’s fast, delicious, and affordable.

Very disappointed with this Newks. Have ordered several times for to-​go orders and gave encountered errors on each, missing side items, missing ingredients to sandwich. Lately it seems there are problems with the bread, I have yet to get a sandwich to match the Newks on Jackson ave. the bread here has yet to be toasted or warmed and is often soggy undercooked seeming.

Got their catering. The sandwiches were fresh n filling. I’d to try their locations in the city though.

I have only eaten at the quick take-​out part of Newk’s, and for pre-​packaged food, it is delicious! During move-​in weekend I had no food, and I was coming from California, so I had no idea what or where anything was. Newks was my go-​to, super fast and close to campus, it is perfect for the on-​the-​go meal.
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and the pimento cheese sandwich, as well as their cole slaw and potato salad. All amazing! Chicken salad is the best though, definitely a must-​order.

great place for a quick but tasty lunch. The have a large selection of items providing something for everyone. Great for large parties.

Newks has some great fresh salads and sandwiches for lunch, dinner or mid afternoon snack. The service is usually prompt, and the employees are nearly always cordial.
This is not like any fast food joint you’ve visited. I can guarantee that. Order at the bar, grab a drink (they even have beer!), and have a seat. The folks behind the counter give you a number and they serve you your food. This is wicked convenient!
The sales are delicious. I usually have the Southern chicken salad, and it is almost always wonderful! There are two locations in Oxford, and no matter which one you visit the service and food are good. Try it out for a different and healthy fast food experience.

Always solid, but a single «$» for price isn’t correct. While not super expensive, you will likely spend $ 10 a plate for lunch. But, even a McD’s cruddy lunch will cost $ 8, so the price is not out of line.
Get the veggie pizza.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service.

Never have a wait here, at least when I’ve been here. Even during lunch rush food didn’t take more than a couple of minutes to be made and delivered.

I’ve eaten at Newk’s several times and it’s always fresh, fast and delicious. My personal favorite is the Newk’s Salad (dressing on the side please). Yummy!

I love Newks… ummm ummm good

We just love Newk’s. All our friend enjoy the food too.
Great food for the $$.

I LOVE NEWK’s! The Newk’s Q rocks my world and I will only eat the Q. The NEWKS Q is a wonderful, scrumptious North American delicacy. Its chunks of grilled chicken smothered in a horseradish sauce and topped with bacon on a hoagie roll. If you see a Newks stop in and try something you wont be disappointed

I worked at Newk’s for about six months and I still eat the food and love it, so that should tell you something. The restaurant was started by the family who opened McAlister’s deli (which is also a great chain restaurant). Newks is great for lunch and dinner and they offer a great range of foods from pizza to sandwiches to soup to salads. Also, they have some delicious cake but I believe all of the cakes are made by a woman in New Albany, MS. I have eaten most everything on the menu, except for the chicken salad (again, it has mayonnaise in it) and the new shrimp menu items. My favorite choices are the Greek pizza, the bbq chicken pizza, the grilled chicken sandwich, and pretty much any salad. Their honey mustard sauce (although I think it contains a little mayo :() is out of this world and really spices. I love their condiment bar with capers, roasted garlic, gherkins, crackers, etc. because I just think it is unique, although I tend to just eat the condiments by themselves.
This is a great place to go for a fast meal that is made well with quality ingredients. It can be a little expensive at times and you may smell after you leave (poor ventilation), but otherwise, it is a pretty good little Oxford staple.

Had some good veggie pizza and sandwiches here. Sandwich had grilled portobellos and bell peppers with pesto sauce and goat cheese on toasted white roll. Now, if they added a nice artisan bread instead of the generic white roll, it would’ve been truly outstanding. Still, it was very very good for a fast food place even with the generic roll. Even the fresh fruit side dish was very good, with fresh, ripe cantaloupe, pineapple, and grapes. The pizza crust was of surprisingly good quality for a fast food place. Great place for vegetarians.
