Newk’s Express Cafe

This place is a great place if you want sandwich, salad, soup, or a small pizza. I first went to one in jonesboro, AR. Seems to be more of the south since i’ve never heard of one till AR, MS. Ive tried at least one of each type of item they have. Recently my husband got the adult grilled cheese and tomato soup which was pretty good. I got the steak and onion sandwich which was good though onions overpowering and wish i wouldve asked for more of the sauce.

Newks is a classic American café that offers a wide variety of freshly made pizza, sandwiches & salads. It’s restaurant that I’ve walked by for years without stopping in. I’m glad I stopped by for a quick pick. A friend recommended their grab n go which is like a deli selection of pre-​made sandwiches, sides, soup, etc. I grabbed some chicken salad. Delicious! The perfect mix of grapes & pecans with a bit of celery & chunky white meat chicken. Perfect on a ritz cracker. I’ll definitely check them out again for a sit down experience.

One of the best Newk’s locations I’ve been to. My only qualm would be the young employees who are sometimes very snotty.

Me thinks Smeagle doesn’t like this place. Me thinks only girl eat here. Me thinks not as good as mcallisters. One deli to rule them all. Bathroom is clean but no Mountain Dew Smeagle says. The gollum thinks the newks gets two stars– Smeagle

Having grown up in North Mississippi, I’ve always been partial to McCalisters Deli which is based out of Oxford, MS. When Newks Eatery came along I was skeptical to try them (and a little offended that someone else was trying to cut into «McCD“‘s pie). Having tried them I do enjoy them now both equally.
That back story being said, today my wife and I came to Newks for a small lunch (she was craving their Spicy Shrimp Pizza). I ended up getting a half sandwich & soup combo (the wife got her pizza and a salad & soup too!)
Now let me tell you — of their four choices of soup for the day, the wife decided on Loaded Potato Soup, so that’s what I went with also (don’t judge). At first spoonful, oh… It was a spectacularly transformative experience. The simplicity of the dish would not be one that you would typically associate with sophisticated complexity that Potato Soup is NOT known for.
In summation, the Loaded Potato Soup was a delectable delight that satisfied my soul, enriched my spirit and transformed my perception of this simple dish, from plainly pleased to superbly satisfied.
Looking forward to next Tuesday!!!

Has the setup of your typical Newks. Today they had the Lobster Bisque soup which is a favorite one but it didn’t taste the way it usually does. The tables were pretty dirty though and considering the fact that there were just 4 people eating counting myself and my girlfriend, cleanliness could have been better. The staff wasn’t busy at all. But because of how not busy they were ill more than likely be back because I live uncrowned fed places. £

A little expensive but worth every dollar. Best worlds best salads and cakes. Worth every star!

Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Over 9 dollars for a half sandwich and salad, but more than worth it.
Everything is made fresh. There’s a condiment/​pickles/​croutons/​breadsticks bar in the middle of the place.
Caesar salad was tasty with home made Caesar Dressing. I was free to add more croutons and shredded parmesan cheese from the center thing.
The chicken salad came on this toasted bread. Best I’ve had in a while.
Great selection and very friendly people. This is now my 5 start lunch place in Memphis/​Southaven. Great alternative to BBQ, and given the quality of the BBQ I’ve had here so far. … I’ll take thiss everyday.
The breadsticks are so yummy BTW. As are the B&B pickles, and every other thing they give away free. Capers, Roasted garlic, basil, oregano. …really. .I can add my own? Yum

They have quite a lot of options on their menu so it took me a few minutes to decide on what to get and I decided on a steak sandwich with a side of fruit and a fountain drink. I ordered the horseradish spread on the side and it came exactly how I ordered it. They have a small bar with a few extras (like pickles and croutons) you can add to your food along with a lot of packaged breadsticks that you add to your meal if you are so inclined. It was pretty good, but I do think it was a bit pricey (at around 10 bucks) for what and how much you get. Overall, not a bad place (if you don’t mind eating at a chain restaurant) to grab a quick bite to eat if you don’t mind paying a little bit more it.

Always friendly, food served fast and as ordered. Can always grab a clean table even during the lunch rush.

My co-​workers picked this place for lunch. I’m not a big deli person but I gave it a go. The place looked pretty cool. I didn’t have a lot of time to look so I tried the same things I usually like at McAlister’s. Unfortunately I wasn’t fond of what I got at all. A co-​worker offered me the rest of her ham sandwich after she had eaten all she was going to. I noticed their salads were pretty popular and looked really good in their retro-​shaped bowls. If I was ever to come again I would try a salad instead.

I really like Newks their food is very fresh and is always top notch. I am not a value based consumer and I am willing to pay good money for a good meal, but I cannot reconcile price to quantity or quality here. I just spent 50 dollars for my wife and three kids to eat here. I can often times get out of full service restaurants for the same if not less. I love to indulge every now and then, but portion sizes just don’t justify the expense for me.

I wanted to give them 5 stars but their prices are a little high. The food is great we eat there at least one day a week. The soups and salads are always fresh and my favorite is the veggie sandwich and veggie pizza!!!

Great salads. We love the size and portions of all the food they offer. The staff is always very concerned about making sure we have a great experience.

First time here. I ordered the pimento cheese sandwich and a side of the Tippah County Caviar (black eyed peas salad) and a cup of mushroom soup. Best pimento sandwich ever! The mushroom soup was excellent too.
The wife ordered the steak sandwich minus the caramelized onions. Well, it came with onions anyway. Promptly sent it back and the manager brought out a fresh sandwich just minutes later with her apologies. She then gave us a free dessert for our troubles. Didn’t ask for it, but it was a very nice offer. This sandwich was very good and the horseradish sauce was a great dipping item.
They also have a free condiment bar. It consisted of pickled peppers, roasted garlic, pickles, croutons and any kind of hot sauce imaginable. We will definitely be going back!

Good food for the family. Nothing really spectacular but still a good meal with lots of choices. It is a steady producer that usually doesn’t let you down, but like I said not spectacular.

Each time I come here, I always have had a great experience. I usually get food to go because the lunch crowd can be overwhelming.
Grilled Chicken or Salmon Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, & Chicken Salad are among my faves.
I have found the service to be great – never an issue really.

The lobster crab bisque is better than any other I’ve ever had, including in Maine. The chicken sandwich with goat cheese and roasted peppers is my favorite. The chicken salad and pimento cheese are great as well. I’m not a salad eater, but their salads are huge. The sweet tea is a little too sweet. They have a large variety of good desserts, likes moist cakes and huge brownies.
Newk’s was started by the same guy that started McAlister’s. It’s a fairly local chain, as it too started in Oxford. It’s a little more upscale than McAlister’s and a tad bit more pricey. It’s well worth the higher prices.

Food has always been good, but it is hard to mess up salads, soups, and sandwiches. Place is typically very clean and inviting.
Biggest drawback is the cost. Seems to be expensive for what they’re selling. Hate to spend $ 30 for me, my wife, and my son.

Newk’s is basically a upscale Mcallister’s Deli. Works for my «big salad» cravings.

Went here because they have super moist cake and there is one in Charlotte. Therefore, eating here while on the road is a great/​safe way to try a place.
Atmosphere — Busy, restaurant chain/​large deli styling, open kitchen, noisy, open, booths and tables, informal, green p-​leather, linoleum flooring
Food — Lots of choices. I had the grilled chicken sandwich/​por boy, a slice of pizza, ice tea and a slice of pineapple cake. The grilled chicken came on a delicious baguette. The pizza was surprisingly tasty with a tender thin crust and great sauce. The pineapple cake was definitely moist. Almost like a flavorful cake batter.
Service — It was good for a place that takes your order, gives you a number and a tray, and then makes you wait for it to arrive. Everyone was friendly and the places was rocking with people.
Overall — This is a great location for lunch with friends and family when you are hankering for some inexpensive and fresh tasting food.
