Green Goddess Salad (P)
Morgan A.

Everything was fresh and tasty! Fast service and friendly cashier! Clean restaurant 100/10 recommend if you are in the mood for something fresh, sandwiches, wraps , soups or salads

Pizza

This might be the best place to eat in Gainesville. Everything is fresh, extremely good quality, and the menu offers great pairing options

Chicken Tortilla Bowl of Soup Pairing with  Half Greek
Ara R.

We found a great healthy lunch spot at Newk's. I had a pairing lunch with Chicken Tortilla soup and a Greek salad. Soup was thick and savory, leaving just a hint of heat in the back of the throat. Salad was yummy, with artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, a touch of feta. Drink cups are enormous! There are several options for ordering, but a staff member intercepted us before we could explore those. Food came almost instantly. The inside was lovely, but we enjoyed sitting on the shady side patio.

French Dip (P) and Half Greek

love this place!! Newks is always quick service and has such good options that are healthy and filling for not a bad price. I got a full turkey and cheese sandwich and a greek salad for $15. it was AMAZING. Super super yummy.

We were to happy to see a Newk's in Gainesville and it didn't disappoint! We got the chicken pesto sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup and strawberry cake. All were absolutely amazing. The chef came by our table to see how we were enjoying our food- we loved that. We highly recommend Newk's! Don't think there's a bad dish on the menu.

The picture don't do it justice , the flavors of the meals I got were incredible. Last time I was here was when they first had opened around the pandemic time I think 2019 or 2020. I loved it and the salad I had gotten. Since they had a Covid outbreak a few months later at the restaurant I was hesitant to go back so waited til recently. This time I wanted to try a sandwich and I got the $9.99 combo of half sandwich and half side . I got the potato salad and it was perfect not too much mayo or mustard and it wasn't overly seasoned. I love me a good potato salad and they did a pretty good job. I got the newks Q and the sauce was so good I asked for one sauce to go to dip chicken tenders. The bread was nicely toasted and the bread was so fresh. I would say this is a good replacement for Jason's Deli. I have been wanting to find a place where I could enjoy a fresh salad or sandwich and it hit the spot. Much better than McAlister's and Panera bread combined.

Visiting UF and needed a place to grab a bite. Small location but friendly staff and OMG good…read moresandwiches! We sat outside and crowds were light but I can see how parking might be a challenge when classes are in session. Added perk/surprised to see the location was featured on Food Network!

I distinctly remember this downtown restaurant closing at 3:00pm or so, but now, they are open til…read more8:00pm! Good! This sandwich place is really one of a kind! My friend and I met after we parked our bikes. She was sitting outside, and as I was locking my bike, less than a block away, she texted me. I just walked to her without responding, and with a smile and a hug, we walked in to look at the menu. The sandwiches have some very creative names that go along with their creative construction. I got a #10, which was a fusion of French dip and Philly cheese!! I wanna buy the person a beer, whoever thought of that one! Even though it was busy, we didn't wait long to order. Every sandwich comes in a paper bag, so you can take it out or stay and munch. We got a combo with chips and a drink, because how else do you eat a big sandwich like this?! There are board games to play, decor that is not typical and a big display of Guy Fieri, from the Food Network, that lets you know this place is on America's culinary map. After the sandwiches were done, I brought them out to my friend Kimberly, who was saving our table. We both were hungry, so out of the wrap and in with the teeth. Mine was full of flavor and the fact that all the sandwiches are heat-pressed, made the texture very satisfying. The au jus was thick and delicious and made me think someone took great time and effort to make it. It is a casual restaurant, great for a date or a group of friends, or a solo quick lunch, that can also be a dinner as well. The food is somewhat pricey, but it delivers as a good meal with a creative touch. They could have emptied the garbage can more quickly, as it was more than overflowing, when I went to throw the garbage away. Memorable food, and makes me want to come back to try at least two other sandwiches that I read about.

The Spot - The Gyro Platter

Visit after visit, year after year, this place is still the best Greek spot in town. Also up there…read morefor best lunch spot, period. I got my usual gyro platter; about $15. Sounds pricey but my wife and I spit it and still had some leftovers. Also, this might seem a bit off topic but this place has some of the best fries. Great seasoning. My platter came with a generous portion of gyro meat, and the side salad was nicely prepared. If you haven't tried this place and you like a good gyro, drop by, you won't be disappointed.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but I think want to be honest. I came to The Spot recently for lunch…read moreand was not happy with my experience. Located in midtown, this appears to a fast casual place that caters towards college students. They serve "Greek" street food, salads, quesadillas, burgers, and more. The food is relatively inexpensive. Service is fine, actually the people working there are friendly. Food is made to order and comes out quickly. There is some seating available inside (it's limited) but there are plenty of tables in the hall. I ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki which included grilled chicken with tomato, onion, fries inside a pita, topped with ketchup and mustard. This was a very large portion. The pita was good, but pretty much fell apart the second I picked it up. While I liked the chicken, it was over seasoned and I didn't care for the "sauced" quality of it. I'm not sure if they marinated it or tossed it in some sauce, but it was too much. The fries were decent, but not super crispy. I felt that they were not necessarily and a little over-the-top. The tomato was fresh and but the red onion slices were very thick. The mustard and ketchup didn't work with the seasonings on the chicken. The dish was just all over the place and I couldn't even finish half of it before I started feeling sick. I ordered a side of onion rings as well. This was a large order and the size was great. But these onion rings were over-battered and were fresh, but not crispy at all. I bit into one and ended up pulling out the whole onion rings. Not good. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was so heavy and overly salted I couldn't even eat half of it. I ended up giving it to a homeless person on the way out. The food left my stomach in shambles the rest of the day. Service is fine. But the food is not desirable. It is safe to say I will not be returning, which is unfortunate.

Order at the counter, get a number and then they will bring food out to you. Self serve water is available inside. We were there a busy day. Wait to order wasn't too bad and we found a table outside, but nobody was bussing any tables so basically customers sitting down were left clearing the dishes from the table of the people before them & wiping down the table. Nobody from the restaurant came out to help or apologize and it wasn't until dishes were almost toppling out of the bin that anyone took them away. Menu is pretty diverse - you can get some traditional items or more eclectic. We ordered the green goddess salad, croque mademoiselle (ham & cheese sandwich) on gluten free bread & okonomiyaki (japanese pancakes with cloud eggs). It took probably 30 min to get our food. The food presentation is really lovely & feels special when it's delivered. However, taste left something to be desired. The Japanese pancakes weren't good. The egg specifically looked really pretty all puffed up, but was so bad none of us were willing to have more than one bite. There were some other funky flavors going on there as well that detracted from enjoying it. The ham & cheese sandwich was okay, but the cheese is put on the outside, including a runny cheese, so it's a total mess to try and eat. Definitely do not order this one on a date! We ended up just eating the inside portion. It does come with a small green goddess type salad, which is nice. The entree green goddess appeared great when delivered. Loved the light, fresh dressing and ingredients. However, lots of the lettuce had sort of rotting tips, which made me worried to eat it especially since this isn't the cleanest place. Despite appreciating the quirkiness of the restaurant and the selection of fresh options they offer, we won't be returning.

Best bowl you'll find!…read more They have a pretty straight forward set of ingredients that are very elevated. I built a bowl with the rice noodles (japchae style is what they actually are) and the kale salad, threw on some roasted broccoli, beautiful cherry tomatoes, almonds, cilantro, and tofu. I was so impressed with the protein portion - normally I have to add more. The tofu was perfectly chewy but not overcooked. This spot is definitely my new go to! You absolutely have to check it out :) staff and management is lovely.

The used to serve pork tenderloin which was like nothing at any other restaurant. They replace with a pulled pork, then no pork at all. When that was taken off the menu we sort of gravitated towards other options. Coming back, there were even more changes to the menu. The usual favorites are still here, mine being the warm sweet potato noodles. My wife got the pesto noodles but they were served cold (a bit of a shock). My regular bowl was overflowing with noodles and roasted broccoli. Both good I got teriyaki chicken as my protein, it was just ok, the base and veggies made the dish. The toppings and sauce completed the bowl. It was good. My wife got the roasted chicken thigh (bone in). That was delicious. Surprisingly good. Service was outstanding, they have a great crew here. That's a plus over most fast food chains. So a few years (yes years) removed from eating here last, I'd say they're still pretty good. Good healthy option, decent price. Also, the restaurant is nice and clean and tidy!
