Visited last night around 9pm. Ordered salads. Waited over 15 minutes for two salads only to see them take salads that's been sitting on ice all day and repack them as if they just made them. read more

Whispering Wendy, as I call her, answered the phone and abruptly put me on hold for 7 minutes without even telling me. I had to ask twice if I called the right place because she wouldn't even speak. Finally I get to place my to go order. I spent $18 for this brown lettuce and undercooked salmon! Talk about a total disappointment. read more

This Newks is in desperate need of a manager! Used to be our favorite lunch or quick dinner place with fresh, high quality salads, soups, and sandwiches amd friendly, professional staff. For the last six months the place has been filthy, the food is thrown together, and the staff could care less. There hasn't been a manger on site on most occasions or if there is they are just as unprofessional as the staff and could care less about the dining room or even procedures in the kitchen or with the staff. If you are hoping for the original Newks experience, don't come to this Newks! read more

This review is based on the service not so much the food. I called to let them know the online site was not working and could not place an order. This young lady told me I could order on the phone, Duh. Anyway, all I said was that she should notify someone to fix the site, and the idiot hung up on me. What is up with that? I notified the home office an told them about it. Will never use them again, just because of that stupid Millennial ?????. Cannot say the name I want to use. read more

I was hesitant to visit this cafe during previous visits to Collierville due to the name. What is a Newk, anyone? It is a chain and I have a natural tendency to want to rate a chain lower than a locally owned restaurant but I was quite pleased with my experience there. The food is freshly made to order. The Mediterranean pizza was satisfying and had a sufficient of veggies & cheese to crust ratio. I will probably visit this place again when I am trying to get a break from BBQ. read more

Changing a baby diaper is not a good place for food. Manager does not care and made no effort to stop an obvious situation that cleared out his restaurant. Be aware of the smell read more

The food is decent and fairly well priced. It's pretty crowded during lunch time but the service wasn't slow. I'm sort of indifferent about them and will probably go back and try something else in the future. read more

A friend and I wanted to get a salad today for lunch and we stumbled across this place today in Colliverllie. We both ordered the Newk's Favorite salad and enjoyed it greatly. The green lettuce mix, grilled chicken, Gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, sliced grapes, artichoke hearts and pecans with their vinaigrette went really well together. The overall menu looked pretty good, they have a good selection of salads, sandwiches and pizza. read more

ZERO stars!! Came in and the staff was eating while rolling silverware for takeout. Next I saw a salad prep person touch the garbage can with gloves on and then start making salads. We asked to speak to a manager and she was outside smoking. She finally arrived. She was embarrassed but did not seem too concerned. My husband said that he would not return until a member of their corporate office called him. That was 2 weeks ago. Prior to this experience I called their corporate office about the lack of leadership at this store. The other Newk's locations we go to are light years different for the better. Newk's corporate office wake up! read more

When the door opens to the men's restroom, anyone standing in the hallway - or even at the ordering counter - can see people standing in the restroom peeing. How on earth does a restaurant allow such a design flaw? I was appalled. read more

This Newk's location is not my favorite. My regular menu item is the shrimp avocado salad w/ ranch instead of the menu dressing. Per usual I ask them to toss the salad in the dressing. I didn't see the avocado in my to-go bowl so I asked did they put it at the bottom or toss it. The cook stated that they tossed it. Tossed avocado? But, ummkay. I'm tired. I get home, settle in and no avocado on the shrimp avocado salad. This location just doesn't weigh up to the Cordova location. Try the shrimp avocado salad, though. It's boss...at the Cordova location ;-). read more

Breadsticks!! They have many great choices of soups...some change from season to season. The bread/bun on their sandwiches has just enough crunch to add yet another delicious layer of texture to a great sandwich! I wish there was an option to buy a small soft drink instead of the large take home plastic cup. read more

COVID or not, Newk's can't get a to-go order right if their lives depended on it. The food is just ok, but the service isn't.

Not a fast food restaurant. This is Panera Bread, but take out the bakery, and it's a smaller chain version. I know from Wikipedia this is a chain. Otherwise, it should be on Forbes, though Marco's will soon have 1000 locations. The Royal sandwich and the tomato soup are a great pairing when coming together as one. They have a complimentary small food bar with options like jalapeños, cheese, breadsticks, and croutons. They need to open some new locations or otherwise, it won't be that awesome. read more

Disappointed in how Newks cleanliness has diminished. I recently visited to find an old cooler with what appeared to be rust and mildew at the doorway. The full floors were dirty. The salad prep area appear trashy looking. Against my better judgement I ordered the Newk's salad. The chicken was dry and rubbery. When I shared it with the cashier she said it's supposed to be that way because "we don't add oil". WTH? read more

Ordered kids Mac and cheese. It took 13 mins to get I had expected it faster. There was so little in bowl for 4.79. Only about 1/3 of bowl filled. That's pretty skimpy. read more

This is the worst Newk's with the slowest service! We have ordered here multiple times and every time they get something wrong or leave something out. I've called ahead up to 30 minutes ahead expecting my order to be complete upon my arrival, but instead it hasn't been made and I have to wait for it and then have to request for the missing or incorrect items. Every.time! We love Newks, but this place is enough to make me hate it. Get it together Newks! read more

I visited Newk's again on my most recent trip to TN. I have to up my rating based on the jumbo take-home cups that I filled to the brim (twice) with icy diet Coke and the help yourself bar of peppers, breadsticks and parmesan cheese. Mmmm...so good. read more

It's a standard Newk's, been numerous times to this one and the one by work in Southaven. Every time I come to this location though, there is an issue with customer service. Apparently it's hard to find good help in C-ville. read more

Good food for sure however as is often the case there is an exception. The exception in Newks case is the price. Sandwiches are priced from $9-$11 then add a drink $2 and it's not cheap. Good yes, worth the price paid, not really. read more

Food is sub-par and expensive for what you are getting.

Holy crap, had a sandwich brought to me from this place. I really wish I had taken a picture. The entire chicken sandwich had two thinly cut tiny pieces of chicken on it. "Where's the chicken!" Super fail. Complete rip off. Don't know what it cost but if it was more than $1 it was too much. read more

Great food. Great ppl working here. No bad experiences. Try the Newk's Q. With extra white barbq sauce.

Nothing at Newks is bad. The chef salad is to die for and the sandwiches are great, too. By far,the best thing they have is the broccoli cheddar soup. read more

This place is borderline between trying too hard and overpriced for what you get. Decent place to bring kids, salads are good.

Went here with my wife and felt that the money was not well spent. Overpriced for what you get. The sandwich was very good but was way overpriced for the amount you get. The macaroni salad they recommended was tasteless, more like noodles with really bland salad dressing added. I will go back and try one more time but I think the price is really keeping me away. For what you pay you could go somewhere else for a few dollars more and have a way better meal. read more

While the food is fair enough, I feel like Newk's tries to charge like Panera without quite meeting Panera quality (and I'm not even a fan of Panera). Their soups are usually really delicious, actually. Most of the sandwiches I've tried aren't really great, and I found the rolls they serve sandwiches on to be too much bread and not enough of the good stuff inside. read more

Newks is the BEST sandwich and salad place to go! I like the shrimp on warm bread with the creole mustard! The salads are fresh! For kids the pizza is delicious! A lot of people come here for the chicken salad, which is great as well! This is the place I go to after a workout or if I am in a hurry but want something good to eat instead of fast food read more

This place blew me away. Not because of the friendly staff or the great decor, but the food itself. I had the Margherita pizza, Mac and cheese and a brownie. (Don't judge me, I was hungry). First of all the pizza was perfection. Definitely better than Carrabbas Margherita pizza & I love their pizza. The Mac and cheese -- literally the greatest you'll have in your life. Not being dramatic. And the brownie was fine, but the main courses were better. I'm sure you'll go for a salad or a sandwich, but I demand you try a pizza. read more

Newks Cafe is located in a strip shopping center directly across the street from the Steinmart/Kohl's complex. Today was my first visit (at around 12:30 p.m). The place was justifiably busy since Collierville seriously needs some restaurants of this genre. My first impression when I walked in was that it was a direct rip-off of Atlanta Bread Company. To be honest, I love Atlanta Bread Company - so I wasn't all that offended. You walk in and order off a menu posted over the cashier's head, collect your drink cup and number, then go to the beverage bar to get your drink and select a table and put your number on a stand and wait for a server to bring your food to you (exactly the same scenario as Atlanta Bread Company). Today, the service at Newks was excellent. The menu items and prices are very similar to Atlanta Bread Company - pizzas, salads, sandwiches, soups and combos of salads/soups/sandwiches. Newks Cafe does offer wine and a few desserts - but does not have a bakery. For a soft drink and meal, figure on spending from $8 to $10 a person. The food is pretty good - it is a definite step above a fast food place and the atmosphere is definitely cozier than sitting in a fast food dining room. That being said, I kept feeling like it was the poor cousin of Atlanta Bread Company. Newks just barely misses the mark when compared to Atlanta Bread Company. The atmosphere and food were good, but Atlanta Bread Company does it so much better. If Atlanta Bread Company was in Collierville instead of eight miles down the road, I would definitely go there first. However, Newks is a very good substitute for a step above fast food and I was pleased enough with my food to be willing to return again. read more

Newk's catered my daughter's wedding and they did a fantastic job!! The manager Matt was very easy to work with and helped us pick out the best food for the reception! Everyone at the wedding loved the food especially the pimento cheese and the chicken salad. All of the sandwiches were delicious as well. The workers they sent were very nice to work with. This was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them for any catering need!! I love the food there and eat there at least twice a month!! Great place with a lot of variety!! read more

Like the expanded version of this location. The line was quite long at arrival, but moved very quick. I ordered a Cobb salad, but a Chef came to the table. Though they both begin with a "C", not close to what I was expecting. As I pondered how to remedy I noted the amount of numbers still sticking up and my "hangriness" took over and settled for the Chef. Ho-hum. read more

What is the big deal about this place? I've been a few times at lunch and its always very busy. I don't get it...the food is average and overpriced. read more

Hate this place it goes along with the whole if it doesn't taste normal to me then I can't eat it. I really haven't met anyone that has given me a rave review on this place so maybe it's not just me and my weird ways read more

Agree with Jan g. and Cin f. Average food at an above average price. My wife loves the Greek salads but I think I paid over ten bucks. Ridiculous. Also the ordering process is frustrating. Your standing in line and if it's busy it's hard to select from the menu quickly. The menu board is a little diverse and there us a lot to review when you have so little time to make a decision. read more

I like the pizza here but they are not very consistent-- totally depends who is putting on the toppings. I like the Margarita pizza with chicken added- but that turns it into $11 for a small pizza so that's pretty expensive. The salads are giant but for some reason they are not that appealing. I think it's because they use all greens. They load on the toppings so you can easily get 2 salads out of one. Their condiment table is good with a variety of things and bread sticks you can help yourself to. My one warning here is if you get take out--- you will get about half the meal you would get in the restaurant. I don't know why-- but anytime we have ordered take out it is very small portions- especially the salads- compared to ordering the same thing and eating it there. Bread on the sandwiches is very good and toasted. Busy place with usually helpful service. read more

First time going to a newks heard good things and food was ok but the service here was bad. There were only 3 people in the store and 7-8 employees and two tables never got cleaned from the time I walked in to the time I left. What really made me mad is I ordered a shrimp po boy and they left the lettuce and tomato off. I go back and ask them to put it on and they bring it back to my table without the tomato again. For a first time impression they really ruined it for me. read more

I came here for lunch on a snowy Thursday. They were packed, but my order still arrived quickly and piping hot. The staff was very courteous and kept the tables clear allowing for a quick wait before finding a seat. It's not the cheapest lunch option, but I'd definitely come again. It makes for a wonderful sit down break during a long work day. I recommended the Newk's Q. Nothing topped with bacon can ever be wrong. The soups change daily. Today I tried the loaded potato and it was delicious. My only complaint is that the sweet tea was a little weak for me. read more

If you have a food allergy prepare to be met with annoyance and a rude attitude! We walked in and asked for an allergen menu and the girl at the register seemed to take this as a personal insult. While rolling her eyes and letting out a huff, she pulled out a book from the counter and looked at it and just looked at us. We asked if we could see it and she asked the manager if it was okay if we looked at it. He said okay, we looked, informed the manager of how we were treated and promptly walked out. So sad that this is how they treat their customers. (Oh yeah, it seemed to be FILTHY, sticky floor and all!) read more

Love Newks food. But will not return to this location. This is the second time I have called in an order and it is not ready. I called 30 minutes prior to showing up and am still waiting. Poor service. The guy at the counter is very nice. But 30+ minutes to get my food that I called in? Ridiculous. read more
