    Spicy Shrimp Pizza
    Lindsay S.

    I've had Newk's before and always enjoyed it. Recently, we had a long work meeting so we ordered Newk's. I got the Spicy Shrimp Pizza with cauliflower crust, which I think is my go to from now on. Thin crispy cauliflower crust that really doesn't seem like cauliflower and the personal pizza size means I can eat the whole thing. Great taste and hey, now I don't feel as guilty about the carb overload. Love the spicy shrimp plus all the other flavors.

    Time after time, when I want a quick, reliable dinner, I always fall back on Newk's Eatery. Their staff is always very genuine and kind, and is always willing to make accommodations. In addition, I usually pay with Blazerbucks, which can sometimes be tedious; however, the staff at Newk's is always genuine and never upset over the payment. Located near the hospital, Newk's offers a comforting environment and reminds me of Jason's Deli, which was a staple in my childhood. Food here is always consistent. I recommend eating in the restaurant instead of ordering takeout. My order is usually the half-portobello veggie sandwich and tomato soup, but sometimes, when I order to-go, as I did last night, the bottom of the bread is a bit soggy, which is to be expected since it has pesto on the bottom. When I order in person, I find that the sandwiches are a bit better and less soggy, regardless of what I order. I am also a collector of Newk's cups and love that they offer a sustainable choice of reusable cups. I wish they used cardboard instead of plastic for takeout containers, but for a large chain, they still make an effort with reusable options.

    Stopped by here for dessert recently. Guy who waited on me wasn't the friendliest. Picked up the strawberry slice from the cooler area that had the cakes and chicken salad. Told him I didn't need a bag since I was eating inside, yet found out that despite saying that, he didn't give me any utensils and I spent the next few minutes looking for them around the corner. After I didn't find them, I asked another worker who seemed as if she was bothered where were the utensils, then asked me if I was going to eat inside. I responded yes and she walked back to the counter to get one. Even if I were to take it out, can I still get a fork yall? Geesh! Just on these interactions alone make me skeptical about returning for food. The restaurant has a few onsite parking spots, but we parked in a deck since we were visiting another restaurant for food and walked down to Newks. Oh and the cake was ok. Nothing to write home about. A solid 2.5 star experience overall.

    I have had Newk's before but it was always a catered event and it left me impressed. I have wanted to visit and i finally did. I decided to go all in for the Steak "Q" Sandwich and I was happy that I did. It was really good but the boba punch was the best. It's been a while since I had Boba and the burst of flavor from the balls was entertaining. The place is easy to access with parking in the rear. Service was fast and the food was hot. I do recommend this place. It does have an open sunlight presence that adds to the environment.

    One of the best sourdough-based bakeries we have tried in the US. The bread was supple with…read moreexcellent crumb. They take absolute care and pride in everything--even the eggs were extra tasty and their breakfast sandwiches....yum. Most of the pastries are made with sourdough (except danishes, cookies, muffins). And they are top notch. Tender, buttery, flavorful, no skimping on anything. Just plain delicious. Bought more to save for afternoon coffee. The Friday offerings of challah, rye, and bagels are not sourdough but made with great care--even the bagels are made using tangzhong and cold proofed for 48 hours. Even those who do not emote about food and those carefully counting macros and calories in our family were impressed, vocal, and eagerly finishing off all of the offerings, sweet and savory. And great service!

The space itself is beautiful--clean, intentional, and unique--with visual nods to milling and baking traditions. You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the sourdough is deeply flavorful, and the morning buns strike that ideal balance of richness and warmth. The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite. A true standout in Birmingham and absolutely worth returning to.

My friend ordered the chicken kabob entree but the man quickly told us it would be a 20 minute wait. I appreciated that he let us know since we were on a hour lunch break. He did recommend the lunch special alternative which she went with. I got the mushroom and Swiss burger. I absolutely loved the patio area. It's actually the only seated dining option since the inside is only big enough for ordering. Our food came out pipping hot which was nice! The burger and fries are a great portion for the price. I was a little disappointed that there was mustard on my burger. However that's my fault! It's clearly on the menu I just didn't pay close enough attention. I'm a huge mustard hater so that threw me off. The fries looked delicious but they were just a tad undercooked for my liking. Definitely not raw, just not cooked long enough. My friend enjoyed her food for the most part but it was nothing to rave about.

I used to frequent a bakery that was on this strip but I never saw this quaint little deli. The staff was pleasant as we looked over the menu. I ordered the chicken kebabs and my friend ordered the Philly with fries. Later he added a plain cheeseburger just to try it. He said his Philly didn't have much meat and he didn't care for the wrap. He thought it was going to be a traditional sandwich. However, my chicken kebab meal was flavorful and delicious. I didn't like the salad dressing that came on the salad, but that's just my particular preference. Everything was very fresh and was enough for two meals. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating on this nice Fall afternoon. We had differences of opinion on the burger. I thought it had a great taste-seasoned well, and fresh. My friend wasn't impressed and mentioned that it came out too fast to have been made fresh. I would love to go back and order one with all the trimmings to get a more accurate account as to how to rate it. I will definitely return to try more menu items.

While none of them have tasted quite as good since then (something about working up an appetite on the beach?), we still really enjoy a rare opportunity to eat at one. I knew we would be ready for lunch after a morning at a local museum, so I had researched possible venues earlier that morning. I showed my wife a short list and she immediately gravitated to Roly Poly. That would have been my first choice too. This one (the last one remaining in Birmingham, apparently) is in the Homewood neighborhood / area. It is located on a busy street with shops and plazas lining both sides. These look like they were built no later than 1950 but have evolved and been renovated as new tenants cycled through. We did angled parking on the street out front, but there may be better / easier parking on surrounding side streets. The only issue we had was backing out into traffic when we left; it took a few minutes for a gap. You enter and order at the counter. They have menus available there for you to check out. They have a rack of chips available, plus maybe other sides? I didn't look beyond the chips. You then sit down and wait for your order. I guess they have call-ahead too. Seating is along the wall to the right as you enter. There is a long bench the length of the wall with separate 4-person tables spaced along it, with 2 additional chairs each. Our order seemed to take a while, but it may have just been what we ordered (hot sandwich) versus other simpler orders getting filled faster. I got the French Twist, which is my favorite. I only got a regular and not a large, but I think I could have finished a large. My wife got something else, chicken-based I think. We both enjoyed this a lot. If I lived in the area, I'd probably stop in here semi-regularly.
