Newk's Eatery

My first time coming here with a friend. The service was kind and attentive. The food was really, really good! I got the philly cheesesteak with a side of Mac and it was bomb. The Mac and cheese was super cheesy, creamy and packed with flavor. The philly was pretty good. It even had a hint of sweetness, which I love.

If you're looking for something different this is good. Not something that was on the WOW factor. The cheese steak sandwich was alright but I've had better. My Broccoli and Cheddar soup was good. My son got the Shrimp PoBoy and I gave him my cheese steak instead. He also had the macaroni and cheese which wasn't good. He said the shrimp PoBoy had no flavor that he could only taste the tomato and lettuce. Sorry to say but we don't be coming back. For the price of $37 I was expecting much better. For this price we could've went across the street to Olive Garden and had better. We were trying to find something light and good for a good price. We didn't find it here unfortunately. The appearance was nice but the taste was lacking. Oh well. You won't know until you try it yourself. This just wasn't something that we would want to come back for again.

The food was fresh and delicious!! Very clean place with many reasonable food options.

Newk's rarely disappoints. Even when they are busy the food is fresh and delicious. There are a lot of choices when you have family or friends at Sacred Heart or shopping. This is a stop that's always consistent on good food, excellent service, and friendly staff. And most customers are friendly too (let's keep it that way folks). Mediterranean pizza and The Newks favorite salad. Yum

Returned for the Newk's Q pizza. Great balance of jalapeno, bacon, and chicken. If you like a little spice, here's a good joice. Mediterranean pizza is always delicious too. Two pizzas with leftovers. For the win.

Great place for sandwiches, soups, salads, and pizza. They have a large variety on their menu so it's great for a family where everyone wants something different. Clean and spacious inside.

First time here. Saw the internet add and ask my wife if she had ate there? Her work orders fro there and she said it was good. So we ordered two Q’s and Mac to go. I also picked up a whole red velvet cake for her birthday (stay tuned for that update). I can see this becoming a quick, delicious, evening meal.

Very kind staff and great manager. We arrived 5 minutes before closing due to us not knowing actual closing time. Despite it being so close to closing, they said they could make meals for us and even offered us to sit down to eat. We chose take-out. Ate the food back at Hotel and the three dishes we ordered were delicious and very filling.

Best pimento cheese sandwich I've ever had. And my mother used to have a secret recipe! Great Customer service!!! The girls here are always so friendly and welcoming! The staff is fantastic!

We drove by and realized it had been a while since we been at Newk's so we decided to stop. I am not a fan of the stand in line and look at a board to order my food. That is my only complaint about the place and it's not even a complaint really. I had the Italian with a side of pasta salad. I also got a pepperoni pizza to take home. My oldest got the lobster bisque and my youngest got an order of mac and cheese. I am not sure why so much time had passed since we ate there but I am sure it won't be long before the next visit.

Good fast food. Friendly service. Great time.

This is a great eatery. They strive for friendliness and service and have quality food. They have sugar free southern sweet tea! You get good reusable cups to take home too. Pizza crusts are a bit crispy but have really good taste.

Good place to get some food. Had a good first experience

I ordered the cup of soup and the half sandwich. The bread is crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Plenty of condiments. Lots of choices and you get your food quick.

First time here and my husband and I loved the food. We both got the Italian sub with the soup of the day (which was chicken and sausage gumbo) it was so tasty. We will definitely come back again!

Great sandwiches, salads and soups. Our favorites were the ultimate salad with the chicken tortilla soup.

Good. Changes a lot, some days I will get more for my dollar and some days ill get less when I order the same thing. It is a gamble, depending who’s working. Also, there are free crunchy breadstick things. Very cool.
I have tried most things on the menu, so here is my least favorite and my favorite things in every category.
Salad:
The shrimp and avocado salad is not worth the money as the highest priced salad on the menu. Not enough to justify it, and the dressing is weird.
The Southern salad is the greatest because it is the second cheapest salad on the menu and has a lump of chicken salad that tastes pretty okay. You can ask for an extra lump of chicken salad for about $3.50, which trumps all other additional additional proteins in price and grams of protein.
Sandwiches:
Chicken pesto is my least favorite. It wouldve been nicer if it wasn’t so dry. : (
The newks Q is pretty good. It has bacon, what more can I say?
Pizzas:
I’m not normally a fan of pizzas, but I especially disliked the BBQ chicken pizza. It was sweet. Why was the pizza sweet. No.
The Mediterranean pizza is pretty good. It has a lot of stuff on it, but this seems to be most affected by whoever is working there at the time. Sometimes its full of the tasty stuff, other times its 80% olives. Hit or miss, but still yummy.

Sides
Soups:
Their new cheese broccoli soup is not very good. Normally cheesey broccoli soup is pretty good, but this one was just mediocre at best. Very thick and very forgettable.
The chicken tortilla soup has the most nutritional value in terms of protein, but the calories are pretty low. It is very fun to eat with sandwiches, it acts as a great compliment with good flavor and a bit of spiciness.
Mac n cheeses:
There are only two kinds of mac n cheeses: pimento and normal. I began eating here before pimento was added to the menu. Before then, just not too long ago, they would put their mac n cheese in these metal bowls, and it would always come out hot and the cheese would be all crispy on the sides. I don’t know why they got rid of this, but now it’s just plain bowls. The pimento sounds all fancy, but it really isn’t worth the extra money and calories. It is a let down. Its just a glorified plain mac n cheese with some bacon bits. Please make it fancier.
Sides:
This is relative. I cant rank sides. It depends on what you’re eating.
Teas:
Sorry, but I only ever drink sweet tea. Sweet tea is fine. Nothing to talk about here. They have a whole tub of splenda sweetened tea which is very thoughtful for those whose tummies do not like sugar.
Additional proteins:
I think it goes without saying that it is a horrible idea to buy a steak from a deli restaurant to put on your salad. Also, if you’re going to get additional shrimp, ask for it hot. Unless you like your shrimp cold, weirdo.
The chicken sucks. Dry, and there’s barely any. Not worth the price at all!
The salmon, although expensive, is honestly the tastiest option. You probably get more protein with this than anything else. Get the salmon.
Desserts:
I am not rating desserts because they make my tummy hurt.
Thank you for reading my review. I hope this was helpful for your newks experience.

We LOVE this place!! Personal pizzas are excellent. Service is great & it's always clean. They have a lot of choices too..sandwiches, soups, salads, pizzas, etc. Plus, they give veterans a free drink! Try it -- you'll love it too!!!

Went here during the pandemic with a 13 person bridal party. After a terrible experience at the Olive Garden across the street, Newk's was able to seat us all asap so we went. What a FANTASTIC staff!! The girls at the front were so sweet and kind, and the waiter immediately offered the bride and groom a free piece of cake. We all had a wonderful experience eating, and they let us move the tables together. Then we purchased an entire cake, which the entire staff brought out to surprise the happy couple. They also originally didn't have candles, but were able to find some and make it a memorable experience. They refunded the cake and donated it as a wedding gift to the bride and groom. Can not recommend this place enough, a big thank you to the manager and all the staff there!!

Conveniently placed my order from their easy to use app. Had a rather large order and it was completed and ready for pickup in less than 10 minutes! As soon as I entered the building I was greeted with a smile and told exactly where to go to pickup my online order. Once I approached the counter to pickup my order I was greeted and asked by 2 different people if I had been helped. I signed up for their rewards program but for some reason I didn't promptly receive the email. I asked an associate about it and she immediately went to get the manager. I was warmly greeted by the manager and I explained my slight issue. He simply asked what kind of cake I liked and proceeded to go get me my free slice of cake. So far excellent experience and at this point I'm excited to get home and try this food out. Everything was amazing!! Hot, fresh, and delicious. I very rarely leave reviews for any business but I was so impressed that I felt it was necessary. I can not remember the last time I had a great dining experience without a single issue. From start to finish everything was way above my expectations and I will now be a regular customer of Newk's Eatery on Bayou Blvd. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! Please keep up the good work, consistency is key and you guys nailed it.

Newk's has great service! I went there about a year or 2 ago when they were downtown and when I went to the new location this week I thought I recognized a couple of people from then. I was in a hurry since I only have a 30 min lunch break and didn't realize the have really good grab and go options. The lady taking orders was very gracious with me even though I was rushing and directed me to the ready made delicious sandwiches. Thank you guys! The ham sandwich on wheatberry bread and fresh fruit really hit the spot! And the summery cup is so cute!
