Newk's was the option that I chose when I was coming to link up with an old good friend from high school. I chose Newk's over McAlister's because of two veg options and how easy it is to customize orders. Newk's has portobello mushroom sandwich and pizza. Both can be made vegan easily by removing the cheese and the pesto. I ordered the sandwich without both any animal products and the sandwich was still very delicious. The bread was soft, but the portion size was small. The sandwiches had the right amount of bell pepper slices and mushrooms in it. It actually had more bell peppers than mushrooms which was strange because it is named after the mushroom itself. The cashier at the counter was very kind, but she was asking me a lot of intrusive questions that I didn't care for. She just wanted to know all about my business on why I was visiting the State of Mississippi instead of staying in Texas. I wasn't expecting her to know my life personally. I had to change the subject and quickly order as there was a line forming behind me. The restaurant itself was clean and organized. The unsweet tea tasted fine and not lackluster. I really like their food, but I would suggest that they increase the portion size so that customers get their money's worth. A $11 sandwich shouldn't be the size of a $3 sandwich. The chips were tasty, but it had more air in the bag than chips. read more

I enjoyed my time at this Newks location. Staff were professional and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant and family friendly.

Staff is welcoming when entering. Restaurant is very clean. My personal favorite is the chicken salad sandwich and the tomato/basil soup. My husband's is the chicken salad and potato soup. We've been here several times while my husband is working on the area and never been disappointed. The restaurant score is an A read more

The food here is too good! I've ordered it three days in a row while I'm in town. I can't get enough of the salads. The shrimp is grilled and seasoned perfectly and their sweet tea is fantastic. The service is great too, very fast and very friendly. read more

Friendly staff, the soup is always good and hot !!! Pizza's loaded with wonderful ingredients! Bathrooms clean . Great place to eat.

Thanks for making my lunch better. I had an error on the app that gave me an incorrect sandwich. The manager on duty 3/20/2026 did not hesitate to remake it for me. I am a regular at newks and it meant a lot to get such kindness. Thank you read more

I'm just now coming home from a 5 day hospital stay. Still feeling very sick, but happy to be home. I was craving a Cobb salad from newks (my favorite) so after picking up prescription meds from Walmart my Husband ordered custom made Cobb Salad, ( no blue cheese, no pecans, no croutons w/ ranch dressing on side) and a cup of tomato basil soup. Well to my surprise when I opened container, there was no chicken and lots of brown wilted lettuce in salad and it looked as if salad had been thrown together. Thankfully we live close to newks Byram location. My drove back to store and reordered Cobb salad again. This time salad was missing bacon, and for 15.00 was very small and meager looking. When I ask what was going on, my husband said a lot of you people talking etc. management please talk to your staff. 12/10/25 6:00 pm Very Disappointed Customer read more

There was a little problem with my salad. Something hard and brown was in it. The manager took care of it immediately and replaced the salad. He then came out and discovered that it was a pecan shell. I appreciate the amount of concern and care he took to let me know what it was. I will definitely be back. We have experienced nothing but kindness from all the staff every time we go. read more

Food and service is always good but the price is too high! $44 for 2 people is jacked up!

food was great and servers were very nice, the atmosphere was very friendly and it was an overall good experience

I eat here every other day because my wife do not cook! Im probably their most well known customers. It would be nice to win the $100 give away! read more

Great quiet atmosphere and great food. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy your meal. Also the service is great

Great salad and sandwiches. Fast service. With Friendly staff. Any time I want a salad I head to Newk's

always a great experience @ the newk's in byram!!! food is as ordered & delicious every time!!!

I'm super irritated by this place. Upon arrival, we were greeted and the employee was very nice while taking our order. They provide plastic souvenir cups for the drink and upon placing my drink order, the employee hesitated when giving me a cup. It was already sitting on the counter, so I figured he pulled it out while I was placing my order. Boy, was I wrong! After finding a table, I took a close look at my cup and it looked like it had been rolling on the floor. Hair was on the outside and inside. I then realized that my cup did not come from the stack of cups. There's no telling how long it had been sitting there. I switched it out for a clean cup and thought all my problems were over. I ordered a sandwich and 6 cheese macaroni for a side. The macaroni was cold so I took it back. After waiting a long time, I went to check on it. The employee said he forgot to make me another and that he'd get right on it. He let me get a free dessert for my troubles. I choose the lemon cake and it was pretty good. Macaroni #2 came out piping hot and looking way better than #1. It was really good! If only they could be consistent with it. Now on to the positives. The club sandwich was good and there's an area where you can get unlimited pickles (so yummy), breadsticks and other things to compliment your meal. Also, minus the cup incident, the place looked really clean (bathrooms included). I think I'd be open to trying another Newk's location, just not sure I'd go to this one again. read more

Pizza seems to be my go to when coming to Newk's. But it's effinnnnn fantastic! My favorite is the BBQ chicken. Baked to words tion with the perfect crisp, mountains of cheese and just enough savory BBQ sauce to satisfy that craving. The front was very friendly when taking my order and the gentleman who delivered my food went back to retrieve some ranch for me when i asked with nothing but kindest. A totally positive experience today! read more

Recent dine in experience for a party of 2-- Time around 1230p (after the rush) Ordered food per usual. Sat with our number. Waited an unusual amount of time (over 20 mins). I finally asked a server to check for our food. They brought out our food. The cauliflower pizza and soup is was good. The carter salad has a gross amount of dressing. I could hardly eat it (which it's usually one of my favorite things)! Okay, my impression is that Newk's prices are pretty high for a deli. I do like the food and menu, so I go about once a month. However, with paying as much as it is ($12 to $15) per person for entree and drink, I expect better... read more

Came in and was greeted at the counter. Restaurant looked fairly clean as it was about 30 minutes before closing time. I saw a worker wiping down stations while I ordered. Everyone seemed friendly, and I ordered a 1/2 Caesar salad, 1/2 pimento cheese sandwich, tea, and a brownie. I have always loved their Caesar salad, and I was craving one last night. Placed my order, drove home, and opened my meal. The Caesar salad just wasn't up to par. What's normally a really good salad at my other Newks was just bland and mediocre at this one. My sandwich had a slight smear of pimento cheese on it. Not at all what I was expecting considering what you pay for the food. It had an off taste as well. The tea and brownie were good, but that's all this place had going for them. I spent around $16-$17 for this meal and it left me extremely disappointed. I don't believe I'll be back. read more

Alex (the manager (?) there) went above and beyond to rectify an epic DoorDash delivery failure. DoorDash gets 0 stars for the experience, but Alex and Newk's deserve all 5. The food was tasty and the menu options allow you to customize ingredients to a great degree. I was only in town for a short visit, but if I ever came back I would return to the restaurant for an in-person meal. read more

Delicious vegie sandwich.. A few options for vegetarians.. clean restaurant and Nice people too.. read more

To me Newk's lack flavor in items that I get for some reason. Mac and cheese was hot but meh slight cheese flavor no salt but I added my own so plus there. The steak was chewy but spot on with the medium rare I would've preferred it to be cut against the grain that being if they cooked a whole steak or not. I only go to newks every 2 years or so and it's still the same to me. But it's definitely a great place for kids & teens. read more

Newk's Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Byram, Mississippi

I walked in to the counter to place and order (just a sandwich) and had to wait several (almost 10) minutes before someone came out to take my order. There were 3 customers in the entire place, including an employee (I assume on break) eating dinner. After placing and paying for my order I went and sat down, only to notice there were several table littered with food and plates that no one bothered to clean up. After waiting 30 minutes (again, for a SANDWICH) I requested a refund and left. I do not recommend eating here, nor will I ever return. read more

Today we went to dine in at Newk's....we were told 30 min wait so we decided to wait it out. We sit down at table for a little while, to see other people who just walk in get their orders placed. I was told we would be first! He didn't acknowledge that he was ready to get orders so we were further down the like. We left! We normally get good service and good food, but today was not the day. I will update this if this issue is resolved..... read more

Not up to Newk's usual standards. Margarita pizza is just cheese with cherry tomatoes. No basil. Soggy. No garlic, pickles, capers , etc. table. read more

This place need better management because how does a place of business let the employees run someone's investment into the ground with poor service and piss poor product to go with the service. read more

This is one of my family's go to after church lunch places. You can always count on Newk's for a good sandwich or salad or even pizza. Get here early on a Sunday or you'll be looking for a spot and waiting in line. The half grilled chicken or club sandwich and half Cesar salad is always a solid choice for a light lunch. If you are a little hungrier go for the full sandwich...and get an extra side of honey mustard for sandwich dipping goodness. read more

We were visiting in Jackson and was in a hurry for a quick bite- and decided to try Newk's in spite of the negative reviews Being our first time here and a former educator, I try not to let others experiences influence mine- basically- be objective The reception and the young lady at the order station, Jayla, was first class- great personality and very helpful on salads soups etc The place was very clean- and literally the food was delivered to our table in less than 5 min The spinach salad with strawberry and avocados was delicious and the serving was enough for 2 big log rollers! The loaded potato soup was well done- tasty- very hot and the portion was more than sufficient My wife got the tomato basil and of course I sampled it - it was mucho good as well We got an order of Mac and cheese for our great Grandaughter which I ate over half- it was smoking hot- well seasoned- just right After eating I met Jeff the manager and asked him why he had so many negative reviews? His answer was humbling- "Well I really do not know- we work hard- and try to serve good food, punctually at a fair price" One has to manage your expectations- this is NOT a 5 star restaurant- it is a soup and sandwich place- in and out kinda deal!! If you are expecting a 5 star restaurant experience here you will probably be very disappointed- but you will not spend $200 either- so smile accordingly!! My rating is based on a fair assessment of what the place is designed to do- nothing more- nothing less- accordingly Jayla, Jeff and the other staff get a 5 on the Yelp scale of 1-5 And this is well deserved!

Stop in here if you're tired of fast food. Keep going if you can wait. There's better food to be had in Jackson up the road. :) 3 stars because its not McDonalds etc.... I'm not going to waste my time critiquing this place. :) read more

THE SANDWICHES WERE GREAT!!! Not to mention how fine looking the sandwich maker was. That tall muscular boy with the dark hair that made my sandwich was the peak of the Newks's experience. When he brought the food to our table, he was funny, polite, and most of all -- a hunk! Really hope to see that fine young muscular man again at that fine establishment. read more

Y'all fools need to stop rating this Newk's so low, I mean wtf y'all doing?? This Newk's is the shit imho. You can get anything on the menu here, and it will be guaranteed to effin delicious. I've never, and I mean never been here and wasn't ultimately pleased with my meal of choice. I did get quite offended this past weekend while walking out, a middle age women walked in wearing a t-shirt that said "save a horse, ride a fat bitch". Overall, that did not come into my conclusion of a 5 star review. I will definitely be back time and time again until this Newk's goes out of business or I die. 1 small tip I can give, is you gotta get you some of their potato soup, it'll knock yer socks off! 5 outta 5 read more

Very rude and unprofessional. I don't plan on going back and will let others know my opinion.

I ordered a pizza and customized my order to add mushrooms. Get there,they hand me the pizza and as I'm walking out I open the box,no mushrooms,no basil that should've been on the pizza in the first place. Asked the guy,why I didn't have mushrooms or basil. He said they were out of mushrooms and forgot to add the basil. He added the basil and it was shriveled up,old looking. It wasn't until I got home and realized that I paid for the mushrooms that they said they were out of. I only ate here bc someone recommended it but I will NOT be back. Bad customer service. And I will be sure to let others know about my experience. read more

They need to close this store down. Walked in to make a order at the to go counter and no one acknowledged me and one of the workers picked up her cellphone and started texting so I left and called the manager and she was making excuse for the unprofessional child. I will be contacting the corporate office. read more

Love Newk's, but won't be back to this location. How hard is it to get a Chef Salad with no dressing right? Well, it took them 3 tries. Lots of tables with dishes on them and the staff all huddled up in the kitchen having a good old loud party. Two stars for this location, not for the chain. read more
