Staff is awesome at Newk's, the service is great and quick. and the place is always clean. I like the menu options.

I love Newk's but this one isn't my favorite! I grew up eating Newks and I always loved getting the delicious pepperoni pizza and their famous News Q sandwich! For some reason this one doesn't hit the spot like the ones back home did. The inside is nice! It's clean most of the time that I've gone and the staff is always nice. The food is still pretty good so I won't stop visiting this one! I normally just get it to go when I have a taste for some Newk's Q sauce (so good.) Recently I've been getting the Newks Q pizza without the jalapeños and a chicken Caesar salad! Sometimes I'll get the potato soup which is really good. I've also tried their Reuben, the Newks Favorite Salad, the shrimp poboy(doesn't come fried) and the Black and Bleu salad. All are so very good. I also really love the sweet tea!! read more

I usually go to this place for the healthy option for the lunch. I went in for shrimp and avocado salad to go. I got home and there was no avocado. Disappointed. Most of the time the service is good but this visit the cashier didn't even gave me a choice of dressing for the salad and no receipt. But if you are around UAB and want fast service it's the spot. read more

Newks is a little further away for a quick lunch for me, but a friend wanted to go there yesterday for lunch, so off we went. I asked to go around 11:30, in order to avoid the crowds. And I'm so glad we got there when we did! By noon, the line was outside of the restaurant! I picked the bowl of soup (Corn and crab Chowder) and half of a Caesar salad. We got our drinks and found a place to sit and waited for our food to arrive. After 5 minutes, my bowl of soup came out. My salad still wasn't there, and neither was my friend's sandwich/soup. It was another TEN minutes before her soup and salad came out, and then another FIVE before my salad came out. The caesar salad is pretty simple (salad, cheese, croutons, and dressing) so I'm not sure why it took so long. The problem was that I didn't want to be rude and eat my soup in front of my friend while she had nothing to eat (for 10 minutes), so by the time her food came out, mine was cold. It was very disorganized and also not conducive for turning tables over quickly on the busiest day/time of day. Our office frequently orders Newks for catering, but I don't think I'll make another trip over for a personal lunch. read more

This is the worst salad I've ever gotten from Newk's. It's supposed to have all arugula NOT iceberg. The shrimp are undercooked also. Unacceptable! read more

Great quick and tasty. As always. Love the lobster bisque. And the new mac & cheese with bacon was awesome!

Great service and staff! Tasty food, love their salads, pizza and soup! Newks is always clean and staff is really friendly.

The service was excellent , the staff was very courteous and respectful. The facility was clean and everything in place

always great soup and friendly customer service. Happy that potato soup is seven daily now. So good, I don't mind drive to find a local store. read more

Always amazing!! We love Newk's and they never disappoint! Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice sandwich shop!

Never really tried Newk's until one of my family members wanted to try them out, so I just went along. They offer more than just sandwich which I thought that what Newk's was all about since there's selection of pizza, soup, salad and other choices to choose from. I ended up getting just a pepperoni pizza and the first bite took me away in a good way because it tasted so authentic and fresh. What I also like is the complimentary condiments they have for your convenient to use on your food. The dessert display look good, but are a little pricey for my budget. read more

Skip it on a Sunday afternoon. God awfully slow. Front counter/food delivery person seems utterly stoned. 20+ minutes for half sandwich and cup of soup! That's with 3 other tables seated in the entire place. read more

Every time I have came here, it was packed. And there is a reason for it. The service is fast, the food is always consistent, the employees are on point, the atmosphere is under control, and the place is clean. As for franchises in Birmingham, this place is high performance. I couldn't recommend this place enough for a weekday lunch. You can get in, get some good food, and back before the lunch hour. Highly recommended lunch spot. read more

I am totally addicted to this place. You can never go wrong with any salad for sure here. Everything is fresh and ready to serve. You never have to wait in line long and the service is friendly. My favorite location ( downtown). The salads, soups and sandwiches are delicious. Their homemade salad dressings are amazing and if you are looking for a low carb spot, this is the place to be. read more

They messed my order up and i said how I wanted it to them multiple times. Food was ok it just was wrong

Ok, let's just start by saying I LOVE salads and any time I find a good salad I over indulge. I've ordered the Newk's Favorite salad twice in the last few days. It comes loaded with grilled chicken breast, mixed greens, craisins, pecans, artichoke hearts, gorgonzola cheese, grapes, too die for croutons, and a sherry vinaigrette. This salad has just the right amount of sweet and savory to satisfy any craving. It's well worth the $11 spent!! And the fact that waitr delivers is even better!! read more

Came here for the breakfast as well as again for lunch. Nice spot, especially for workers of UAB hospital. Large menu, fairly priced, pretty good food. For breakfast, I had the veggie egg scramble that came with a choice side and bread. Pretty good. But, my favorite is the salads here. Huge portions for a great price less than $10 (black and bleu - steak salad). Plus they have a bar for hot peppers, banana peppers, croutons, cheese, etc. to add to the salad. Will be back again when I crave some greens. read more

Veggie pizza on cauliflower crust! Great presentation and amazing taste but for doing a healthy version it was extremely oily due to the pesto and cheese. So that's the reason for my score, but tastes great. read more

The thing I liked most was the bread of the burger by itself! Place is overly crowded. Although, it's very clean and nice but very fast food looking. Menu variety is good. Fast service and reasonable prices. Not sure I will go back but it's a nice place where to get a reasonable sandwich read more

Newk's Eatery - Italian sandwitch - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Service is the biggest issue at this location. Incredibly slow, does not work as a lunch time spot. First off, it took 25 minutes to get a club sandwich AFTER lunch rush. It is beyond me why they have 4 people working the registers (with no line to order), yet only two people actually preparing the food. What a mess. You see a ton of employees inside the restaurant, but the majority are hanging out with other employees or hanging out with customers. The tables are dirty, most tables have plates piled up. Considering the proximity to the hospital you would think there would be an understanding that customers are in a rush to get something to eat quickly for lunch and go, yet you see nearly 90% of the workers socializing rather than helping get orders out in a timely manner. A nice cherry on top was not one, but both bathrooms being "out of order". I'm not sure what management is doing, but this location needs significant improvement. read more

I am always going to lunch with a former co-worker. Today was actually a supervisor. That's a plus to lasting relationships, food. On this trip, I knew I wanted the Half Newk's Q which I normally pair up with the pasta salad. My former supervisor convinced me to try the Cup of Tomato Basil and now I am in love. It was crowded but we managed to find a booth and our food didn't take long to arrive. She had the Spicy Chicken Pizza and a cup of Tomato Basil soup. The waitress originally gave her crab soup but quickly exchanged it for the tomato basil. We both enjoyed our meals and good conversation. Newk's use to be a treat when I worked in another area, so I haven't been in a while but will definitely go back real soon, especially for the soup. I forgot to take pics as I was too busy eating and catching up! read more

Surprised by how large the salads are. Well worth the money. I ordered the Newk's favorite salad and it's not like MSU salad I've ever tasted. Very delicious! read more

When I hear Newk's, I have a rather bland image in my head of a cold sandwich. However, the last few times I have had Newk's I have ordered everything but that, and the boring sandwich is slowly going away. Their personal pizzas are huge! Their homemade five layered red velvet cake is perfect for those who can't handle too much sugar. So light, and had just the right amount of icing, and not once did I feel sick from sugar overload! My last two visits I have had their steaming hot macaroni and cheese that you can add bacon to. They have both a "side" portion as well as an "entree" portion. Seriously?! It's macaroni and cheese! That is a childhood favorite of mine and most! What they serve as an entree, mac & cheese lovers or fat kids at heart could eat 4 times that much of! read more

Ordered the Veggie Pizza without cheese. Mom was pleased, though it wasn't as good as "that other place." I'll leave that other place nameless, the one that specializes in pizza and beer. Oops... Anyway thanks Newk's for helping my mom's recovery in the hospital. To anyone who's looking to escape the horrible options in the UAB Hospital's room service, this is a great option. read more

I go to Newk's probably about once a month. They have a huge variety of food ranging from salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and soups. I ordered the pimento cheese sandwhich. To be honest, it had way too much black pepper in the sandwich! It was very hard for me to eat and finish. I tried getting my boyfriend to finish it for me but it was hard to eat for him as well. This place is ALWAYS packed during lunch from the surrounding hospitals and schools. So, next time definitely won't get the pimento cheese sandwhich and will try something else. read more

I've attended many lunch meetings catered by this Newk's but this was our first time to venture inside this eatery. It was busier than a paper shredder at Enron today as we settled back for a long wait at the table. It was a long wait. But worth it. I had the seared ahi tuna salad. I was expecting fast food grade tuna but I was delighted to dive into sushi grade tuna. Seriously, folks. And the salad was huge. The bowl is the size of a bike helmet. By bike I mean motorcycle. And the dressing was delivered by angels. Light but powerful wasabi ginger. Not so powerful that it overwhelmed but it tweaked the buds. I enhanced the salad (some may say ruined) with a handful of jalapeño peppers. I loved it. It was an unexpected afternoon delight. read more

Food has always been fine, but they regularly cancel Waitr orders on me. I ordered tonight at 7:20PM (they stop deliveries at 8:30PM) and they cancelled. This has happened multiple times in the past. I guess I won't be ordering from here anymore. read more

If you are looking for a quick delicious lunch, this is your place. They have many items on the menu anywhere from pizza, to sandwiches to salads. I like the soup and salad personally. A 16 ounce bowl of soup and a side salad of your choice. They have about four daily soup specials to pick from. The lobster and crab bisque is one of my favorites. I like to pair it with the simply salad. The simply salad comes with cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, croutons, tossed in your choice of salad dressing. The sherry vinaigrette is my go to. Their Caesar salad is also delicious. In the middle of the restaurant they have complimentary items to add to your meal. Croutons, pickles, peppers, capers, cheese, bread sticks etc. I really enjoy this feature, it allows your to customize your meal with extras that you love. If you are in a hurry they have prepared salads and sandwiches in their fridge off to the side of the register that you can just grab and go. You may also order online for take out food and walk in and pick it up off the take out shelf. read more

The staff is completely unorganized. And with the exception of a very helpful staff member working the registers, the rest were ambling around doing very little. She was drowning in questions and frustration from customers. I went in yesterday to pick up an order that I placed online and had to wait an additional 20 minutes before I finally asked for the status. they looked through a stack of orders that was rolled up sitting on the counter. They were very few people in the restaurant and in the 20 minutes I was there, multiple bags of orders sat ready on the counter but were never placed in the pickup rack. The UAB staff and patients support this location a great deal. We deserve better. read more

This has become one of our "go-to" places on the weekends. You can always count on good service and good food. They have a little bit of everything here so it's not hard to accommodate to everyone's likes/dislikes. Salads, sandwiches, pizza, and soups... Who doesn't at least like one of those options??? They have a nice option of half sandwich and half salad or soup. The sandwiches are a little bigger btw so having this option is nice! My favorites!!! Italian sandwich- good lawd it's delicious Newk's Club- get some honey mustard on the side for dipping Greek Salad with chicken- I think it's the best in town Tomato Basil(tues, thurs, & sat)- I've never liked tomato soup until I had it here!!! They also have beer & wine. Most locations have outdoor seating as well. read more

We came here for lunch the other day. It was a typical busy UAB lunch crowd. We had quick service. From the time we ordered to the time we got our food was only 10 minutes. I had the Veggie sandwich with portobello mushroom and goat cheese. The portobello mushroom was flavored so well it almost tasted like a steak. Better than some steaks i've had, honestly. The goat cheese adds a savory aspect to this sandwich that is very unexpected. You wouldn't think a veggie sandwich is this good but it is. The portion size is very filling too. I had a side of pasta salad which is vinegar based. All in all, a great stop for a lunchtime meal! My wife had a free birthday meal. Sign up for their email list and you can get one too! read more

I like Newk's, but usually go to another location instead of this one. We were on the way back home one night and stopped here after some debate with the GF. It was fairly crowded and loud, esp for a Sunday night. I ordered my favorite, the Newks Q Sandwich, and it came out a little dry, and the mac & cheese I ordered was not the correct one (I ordered the mac & cheese with bacon, but instead got the 4 cheese blend). This Newks is also very limited with parking - small lot, and street parking only. I enjoy Newks, but I think I'll stick with my normal location if I have a choice. read more

Can you ever go wrong with Newks?? Probably but it in my book. After realising I was hungry I decided to hop on my bicycle and ride down to the downtown location for some lunch. To my surprise it was very busy and bustling despite downtown being a bit dead on the weekends. I am a creature of habit when it comes to Newks and got the Greek salad with chicken. Hell yeah still tastes like Athens. The size is very generous so you get what you pay for. Ingredients are fresh, wholesome and simply burst with flavour which is complemented by a tangy Greek dressing. Despite the busy time of day the food was prompt and service what you would expect at a Newks. Till next time read more

I love Newk's food, but I won't be going back anytime soon!! The customer service is horrible! The last four times I went in my order was wrong. When I checked my bag today there was a simple error with salad dressing. When I tried to have it quickly corrected, I was met with blank stares, not an apology, not a correction, nothing. I am tired of paying for poor service, so I will just take my business somewhere else. read more

Fast and friendly service. I love breakfast! So I was excited that Newk's has started serving breakfast. I had a pimento and bacon croissant sandwich. Oh man, the goey melted cheese mixed with the eggs and bacon made my morning! The fruit was pretty fresh. The building was clean and the staff were pleasantly friendly! read more
