They make the sweet bread in-house and it's always fresh and delicious. They use fresh-sliced meats and have freshly chopped veggies. They're definitely one of the best sandwich shops in town and it's where locals like to eat. The couple who run the place are super friendly and always remember my order and chat me up when I go by. The restaurant is always clean and the food remains affordable for what you get.

I've been eating here since the old Highland location, back when ordering a sandwich almost felt…read morelike a negotiation. You'd walk in and say something like "Turkey sub, no mayo," and without missing a beat they'd hit you with, "Turkey sub come with mayo." No discussion. No customer-service script. Just blunt honesty. Honestly, that was part of the charm back then. What's funny is seeing how much they've softened over the years. The owners seem older now, calmer maybe, and genuinely kinder and more accommodating than I remember. Still quick, still efficient, but way more patient with customers than the old days. Feels like a neighborhood spot that grew up a little without losing its identity. The food is still what brings people back though. The bread has that same soft, slightly sweet flavor that nobody else in Memphis really does right. I got the Super Sub this time and it was exactly what I wanted -- fresh toppings, good balance, and one of those sandwiches that disappears faster than you expect. The chicken sub is still probably my favorite overall. Place was clean, service moved fast, and yeah... still cash only, which somehow feels completely on-brand at this point. Some things probably shouldn't change. Not every single person will "get" this place, and that's fine. But for a lot of Memphis people, this spot is tied to memories as much as sandwiches. Glad to see they're still going strong.

Ambiance: 10/10 It was very neat & there was hand sanitizer at every table (my favorite part). Cost: 10/10 We went on a Sunday. So, some of the pizzas were $5. You can't beat that price. Taste: 9/10 The Pizzas & cinnamon rolls were great. However, the chicken and bacon calzone was kind of dry. It was tasty once we dipped it in sauces. We were pleased overall & will be back soon.

So this review may be biased because I will accept no slander against my favorite restaurant. The portions? Perfect. I am so full from lunch and it was just a choose 2 with a cup or soup (bowl portions people!!!) and half of a chicken salad sandwich. The soup was delicious loaded potato soup and the sandwich was toasted to perfection as usual. The service? We had the nicest man take our order. We began getting drinks and another worker approached us saying our order was going to take a little while longer than expected and she offered us a complimentary cake, brownie, or rice crispy treat. It was such a nice touch considering I didn't even think the wait was any more than usual. Spectacular customer service and recognition. Covid took many things away from us including the famous Newks Salad Condiment Bar. But it is BACK BABY! In all its glory with the liquid sandwich potions, bread and butter pickles, Parmesan cheese, croutons, the works. I love snacking on pickles and croutons while I wait on my meal. Ambience? There's something nostalgic about the inside of a Newks. They haven't modernized the interiors to where you feel uncomfortable. It's a nice comfortable place to sit and have lunch or dinner with a friend you haven't seen in a while, while also providing the convenience of a quick meal if that's what you need. I love that you can self serve yourself drinks, napkins, etc. The Newks special cups are always fun to see the designs. I will continue to make a pit stop here at the last Memphis Newks when I am in the area. Thank you for having a spot with comfort food that I can bring my kids to!
