Tonight I ventured out and tried the cauliflower crust pizza. Keep in mind I think cauliflower is nasty... so we started out in shaky ground! Others in our group said they would switch with me if I thought it was awful so into the deep end I plunged! So the order arrives.. it looks delicious, it didn't smell funny, the crust was crisp and it tasted ... GREAT! I enjoyed each bite, everyone had to have a "taste" and we all agreed it was a really good crust! I will do it again and again. Those of you, who are like me, dive it! Delicious! I even told the management how much we all enjoyeD it and thanked them for offering a gluten free alternative. Thank you so much Newk's! Oh... everyone else enjoyed their food as well... read more

Probably one of the most consistent restaurants I can think of their service is absolutely fantastic and the food is as consistent it gets and the employees loves their customers and make sure they get what they want every time no wonder it's always busy because it never loses its touch read more

Manager Jim is horrible. Would not correct a wrong order. Blamed everyone except himself and staff. Horrible experience won't be back to this Newks! read more

The young gentleman at the front counter made the ordering process easy! He was very friendly & welcoming. I order a salad, which was pretty decent. However, the crackers out of their jar were stale. I told the young lady who bought my order out & she just looked at me like I was "slow"! She told some one who looked as if he was a manager & he didn't address the situation! I'll continue to go to Clinton! Do better guys! read more

The food is always great and for the most part all the employees are super sweet! There are one or two that seem to never be having a good day, but they still do their job. The manager here is also great! He is always out helping in anyway he can and checking on each and every customer! Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots! read more

I am much disappointed in my favorite eatery. Ordinarily I would give it 5 stars, but the last 2 times we have eaten there, I got my usual 1/2 shrimp po'boy & salad. To my chagrin & dismay this premium sandwich is no longer 1/2 a sandwich. More like 1/4 - 1/3of a sandwich. Not only that you no longer get 6 shrimp, but only 4 shrimp & the price has remained the same. The first time it happened, we were dining in, but tonite's meal was a curbside pickup due to corona virus pandemic. It was a call in order & I requested remoulade sauce rather than cocktail sauce & the result was no sauce! I am so disappointed & feel let down by the eatery! Through the years I have cheered to see the company expanding into other states & their food is always fresh ( although the Caesar salad had more than it's share of the big romaine ribs & romaine leaves that seem to be bruised). I seem to see the freshness of the food not as good as it has been! Hope this is not the result of growing pains on the part of the company & don't want to see the excellence & freshness of the food compromised. Their record of supporting ovarian cancer research is wonderful & I know Lori was a rock star in her fight against this disease & she will always be remembered for her ceaseless efforts to fund research for this! Kudos to the company for continuing this support. But please keep the quality, portions & freshness that has made this restaurant one of my favorites! read more

The absolute WORST Newks in the area. Everyone just stands around, EVEN THE MANAGERS, and just play dumb. Like they literally have no idea what's even going on. I came into lunch today, and there was nowhere to sit because every table in the dining area was filthy, the floor looks like a Logans road house where you can just throw peanuts on the floor. May I add, it was not busy. Maybe before we came in, but we sat for a hour with nobody doing anything about it while there was 3 visible managers, and 4-5 servers just chillin in the kitchen. Also, I'm a dasher and pick up from there often. They treat us like we're such a nuisance, when we're the ones helping their business by delivering their food. Orders will be 15-30 minutes past expected pick up time (even during days when there's little to nobody in there). When we ask about it, they brush us off or huff and puff before proceeding to help. It's ridiculous. This is no exaggeration as me and other dashers have discussed this but we continue to accept orders from there because thankfully their customers are at least generous tippers. Please change. Probably start with the clueless management followed by the rude servers. read more

If only they had more vegan-friendly options, like adding avocado or tofu to their salads, I would gladly give them five stars. My family goes there for lunch pretty often and they are great. They are super kid-friendly, their food quality is extremely consistent, and their service is also very consistent and very good. I order a customized veggie pizza every time I'm there and they have never gotten my order wrong. It's great that they have their nutritional information online. The restaurant is always neat and clean. They always (when I've gone) have a fully staffed ordering counter and consistently greet customers when they walk in. They always read my order back to me and ask if I want a receipt. And they have freshly brewed iced tea with Splenda in it! And of course they have garlic cloves, sweet pickles, banana peppers, croutons, breadsticks, and Saltines on the condiment table. read more

GREAT pimento cheese sandwiches, great pizza, great subs, and great cake what more could you ask for!!! Always the same size portions and always hot!!! Newk it baby!!! read more

Awesome food a lil pricey though. But it was on the company so I'm not trippen! Got the Italian and the simply salad. The hot ass pickles did the trick! I'll hit this spot again when I come back to Flowood. read more

I have to say that I was a little disappointed in the food and I was very disappointed with the prices. The chicken salad was bland. I could have made better at home. The prices were so high that I thought I was going to have to mortgage the house. read more

I've never seen the rave about Newks. It's just ok food at best for a too high price. Pizzas are extremely greasy - so I steer away from those. I had Newks special salad recently and had maybe 1 whole grape with all the thin slices put together. Are you kidding me ! One artichoke! ‍ Maybe maybe 1 slice of chicken total. I finally found 3 pieces of pecans in the bottom. Moderate cranberries and really just a ton of salad greens for $11 bucks. Seriously ! Seriously ! You can do better than that. I like good food. This is barely eatable food "in a pinch" in my world. I always feel like I've been taken ! Have they ever been to Jasons ! Obviously not. Great food. Plenty of it. read more

DELICIOUS! This is a restaurant where you order first then go to a table and wait for your food to come to you. Had no problem with that. I came here during lunch rush so the manger apologized for the wait and gave me free dessert. Very happy with the service and attention to how the customers are. Food was delicious! I got the roast beef sub sandwich and a chaser salad. Very very good! Roast beef was very tender and had great mustard sauce. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed my first time there. Will be coming back for dinner!! read more

The waitress Bella Crawford needs a raise she is the best waitrest and is the nicest/sweetest person

Excellent food and nice atmosphere. My friend and I each ordered a pizza and it was, without a doubt, one of the most delicious pizzas I have ever eaten (and I have eaten a lot of pizzas). The employees were all so friendly and professional. I recommend trying the mango drink! read more

This newks location has always been my favorite but lately the customer service has been terrible!! For example I tried to call in a take out order today, called 5 times during a 15 minute period, and didn't get an answer. So I went to the store and asked the manager why no one was answering the phone but he rudely said they didn't have anyone. I looked around and saw 5 employees and the manager all standing with in feet of the phone not doing anything but waiting for something to do. In my mind, seeing as I also work in customer service and know that sometimes if someone calls out I might have to fill in and do their job, one of those 6 people could have picked up the phone snd taken an order. This is not my first experience like this nor been treated rudely by one of their managers. I am highly disappointed read more

Yum! One of my favorite places to eat while I was staying in Jackson. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, my favorite dish (half Cesar salad, w/ dressing on the side) varied from location to location. The one in Flowood did an amazing job of always providing the same salad, however in Brandon it was always a hit or miss. Be careful of the cheese on the condiment table (one bin is usually super fresh, and the other is stale and foul smelling). Also, the staff at the Newks in Brandon, were very rude, and we're not so quick to offer a replacement salad whenever they got the order wrong (hello! i'm paying $6.00 for some lettuce and cheese the least you could do is get my order right). All-in-all great place for casual dining & great chicken salad! read more

The story I heard is that the people that started McAlister's Deli (and subsequently sold it for big bucks) also started Newk's. The result is a great casual restaurant with gourmet pizzas and sandwiches, fresh salads, and good hearty soups. Just a great lunch spot overall. The condiments table in the middle stocked with sweet pickles, imported breadsticks, roasted garlic, peppers, and more is especially fun! I have to come back for the desserts next time. read more

The food and the salads are always excellent! You won't go wrong with Newks ever! And if you do go wrong they quickly act to make it right!!

This place is great. I've eaten here several times and never been disappointed. The menu offers regular food and fun food. The pizza is great and the sandwiches are perfect. There is hardly any wait and the place is always busy at supper time. The prices are reasonable too! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I really love being able to see into the food prep area. It's always clean and the location is great. We LOVE Newks!! read more

Always enjoys Newks when in Jackson. Great spot for lunch...soup, salads and sandwiches. Quick service!

I love Newk's Eatery and always have a good experience when I come here. Their vegetarian sandwiches are delicious and the food is always fresh and hot when I get it. The employees are nice, friendly and welcoming. The place is clean and has a cozy feel to it. Their brownies and cakes are quite tasty. Multiple options to choose from. Would highly recommend this place. read more

It was a solid meh. I had a soup and salad. I know the pickle bar is one of the highlights and I guess I saw nothing special other then the pickled garlic. read more

If you haven't tried the Newk's Q sandwich, you need to get there now. Seriously, I have never had white BBQ sauce. It is ridiculous. I head to this place as soon as I get off the plane on my infrequent trips home. I wish htey had these in CA. read more

Felt like getting Newked tonight. Have seen the places all over Jackson and finally decided to try it before I head to Chicago next weekend for a long while. Food was good, had the Italian with pasta salad. Friendly and helpful staff. Decided to get a dessert because I saw the awesome looking cakes, The Red Velvet was calling my name, so I got a piece to go. Once I got back to the place opened up my package to put in the fridge was a little disappointed...the piece of cake was about half the size of the piece they had sitting in the window. Will taste later to see how much I am going to either miss the other half or be glad I didn't get the whole piece...update either late tonight or tomorrow :) read more

I like to give positive reviews, but lately the Flowood, MS area has been disappointing. The person that took our order was nice,but the person next to her was so freaking rude!! The person who took our order asked her a question and the rude person looked at her like she was stupid. It wasn't a stupid question. The same rude person took our family member's order and was extremely rude to him as well. The manager, on the other hand, was walking around delivering orders to tables with a smile on his face. They should fire the rude person. She ruined our experience there. I wish I would've gotten her name! I would call corporate office to complain about her. :( read more

Went to eat here Saturday with my mom and sister in-law. The service was fast and the food was good.

Great sandwiches and chicken dumplings soup. Service. Little slow

Food is always fresh. A few times my sandwich, Newks Q, was smothered in sauce making it messy to eat. I have never had a bowl of soup here that I didn't like. Service is friendly. read more

Love their Chicken Salad and the Southern Salad, always friendly and fast! Just a bit pricey. Average cost for lunch with drink $13.

Our family ate a late lunch at Newk's. The place puts me in the mind of a Panera, but with much more flavor. The Newk's Q sandwich was amazing! The pizza was also really good. I liked how creamy the Mac n cheese was, but my husband felt it lacked flavor and was too runny. We will definitely be back! read more

Super quick service. Very friendly staff and mgmt. very accommodating to our food allergies.

The advertised "SEARED" Ahi Tuna Salad, should read "previously seared and refrigerated until sold". It also says "sushi grade" Tuna, but once opened and "seared" will become slimy as was the case of the tuna in my salad. While it was served ICE cold, the texture and flavor was proof it was definitely not fresh anytime recently. I mentioned this to a server who asked if I wanted to speak to management. I said no as I boxed up all but the one bite I took, however, he sent the manager out anyway. I really hate the way he treated me too. When he approached he asked, "do you need help?", I replied, "no, thanks." He persisted, so I repeated the same to him. For the life of me I cannot understand why he bothered coming out. Perhaps I was the problem because I wasn't satisfied, not the just-thawed tuna or the way it's advertised as "seared". It was clearly MY misunderstanding. He was very short and basically just said, "Oh, sorry, we don't cook to order" and walked away. Now, why would management approach to resolve or offer assistance if they only planned to place blame back onto the customer with a "sorry" "not sorry" attitude? That was as much of an insult as paying $21...yes, $21 for my (no others, just me) meal. I got the salad, $12.99, a sweet tea over $3 and I fell into the dessert trap when the cashier told me the "lemon whoopie pie" was fresh and soft and that's why she liked them. Nope. It was cold as ice and barely defrosted. A fork would not cut through it. How much? $3.99. I feel like I was duped on the entire meal. Sweet, the cashier gave me a $2 off coupon for my next visit. Anyone want it? read more

Did the same cashier that did not get my ride right last time just look at the receipt after he ran my credit card to see if he charged me for a drink when he didn't give me my cup. The service level of the cashiers have really gone down. Where are they recruiting these people? read more

This Newk's location has always been fairly decent over the numerous years it has been open. I am one of those folks who find something delicious and stick with it forever. I would say that an easy 8.5 times out of 10 visits the staff is friendly. This restaurant is always clean and the food is always fresh. The pizzas are yummy, but too greasy for my stomach to handle; if that doesn't concern you, I can personally recommend the spicy shrimp pizza dipped in a side of their homemade ranch. Yass, queen! My girlfriend loves the Newk's Q, but she seems to never get a consistent amount of the white BBQ, so she just asks for extra recently. The sweet tea is delicious! I'm picky concerning pimento and Newk's recipe is delicious - way overpriced for some cheese, but I usually cave in and get some a couple times a year. Although I haven't tried every menu item, I can recommend my favorites: the steak sandwich, the Royal (my absolute favorite, and typical order), Caesar and simply salad, their brownies and their homemade Rice Krispy treats that are about as big as my palm and like 2-3" thick. I wish they had better options for sides - one can choose from chips, fruit, bland pasta salad or an odd take on a black eyed pea salad (aka their "caviar"). Overall, I would definitely recommend this Newk's location. read more

I absolutely love Newk's and it has quickly become my favorite sandwich stop. The chicken salad sandwich is so refreshing any time of the year! The staff is always super friendly whether you're getting it to go or dining in. Today was my first day being disappointed when I got home and realized I had the wrong sandwich. When I called they were super friendly and I am a happy customer once again, eating my favorite sandwich! read more

Went to this Newks while on vacation. I love the favorite salad with the chicken, Gorgonzola cheese, artichoke, the works... And the service was friendly. I wish CA had a Newks. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to stop for lunch. The best cole slaw ever. I always get the chicken salad sandwich with a side of cole slaw. Sometimes the cole slaw is different when I go in there, which can be disappointing because it has such a distinct flavor that when its off, you can tell. It's usually crowded around lunch time, but that only means it's a great place with great food! read more

I've had 3 experiences ordering take-out at the Flowood, MS location where there were nuts in my food after I told the staff I had a life threatening nut allergy. The first two times were about a year ago. I went a long time without ordering anything else here, but then I started ordering the pimento mac and cheese since Newk's said there were no nuts kept around those ingredients so I should be safe ordering it. About a month ago I ordered this to-go and had a severe allergic reaction to it. I carry Epipens around, but even with medication, I was sick for 48 hours afterwards. I called the store and spoke to a female manager. She apologized and said it shouldn't have happened (even though it clearly keeps happening). I requested that Newk's put up notices at their restaurants inside where patrons order food stating that allergies can't be accommodated, but they won't do it. She said the website already has a statement like this, but I didn't order on the website-I ordered at their location where there are no warnings posted and their staff claims they can accommodate allergies. I could easily have died, and I feel like my experiences were blown off. I don't want anyone to die from an allergic reaction because Newk's is stating they can make accommodations they clearly can't. I found all of this to be extremely negligent. I am sad to say I will not be back. read more
