First visit, took several GK's. Ordered mostly various sandwiches & salads. All items were good. Even though it was Noon on a Sunday, service was prompt. Caveat: If you want hot sauce or other extra condiments, pick them up yourself from the table near the entry. We'll be back. read more

I frequent Newk's because the food is fresh and delicious, atmosphere is relaxing, and customer service is great!

I frequent this establishment in person quite often and have always had a good experience. I ordered delivery today and it was disappointing. Recommendation: eat there in person - the staff is super helpful and extremely nice. I had the privilege of seeing a newer team member being trained and their trainer was treating them with patience, care and respect. That goes a long way in my book as a customer. As for the score. I would have given them 5 stars but due to this evening's order, I see inconsistencies in service. It is not due to delivery, it was the problems with the food. Overall: food is fresh, yummy, offers lots of healthy and guilty pleasure options. Tonight: Wins: salad and pizza were amazing. Opportunities: sandwich was missing basic ingredients (cheese and bacon). Wrong soup was provided in the order. read more

Shrimp & avocado salad was good but the restaurant had a spoiled smell which was offensive

We love eating here for their pizza and Mac and cheese. My kids are easy to pleaSe so the simple pizza is great for them. It is a little pricey but we love coming back. My favorite salad is the black and bleu salad. My husband loves their sandwiches and bisques or soups. My only negative feedback was last nights salad. It was DRENCHED in dressing, I usually ask for it on the side but forgot. This time was a bit of an overkill. It was tasty but I could barely finish a fourth of it bc of how much dressing there was. I'll still come back! read more

Their loaded potato soup and their chicken salad sandwich is delicious. It's simply amazing

I love deli's, so I'm a sucker for a good, well crafted sandwich. This location is next to everything, clean, and has nice customer service. A smidge overpriced for what they offer, though. Their cups for sodas are large, and re-useable! I love the Newk's Q sandwich. Full of calories and flavor . The BBQ chicken pizza is also good. Overall, I wouldn't go quite often, but I wouldn't mind going again. read more

I think my expectations for this place was set a little too high...maybe because it looks really nice and modern from the outside. HOWEVER...this place is 90% identical to McAlister's Deli, so I'm not sure why they decided to build this place practically next to McAlister's in the adjacent strip mall. The menu, vibe, concept, taste, heck..even the darn workers, are pretty much identical to McAlister's...except one different, McAlister's food tastes a lot better...just saying' read more

Newk's Eatery - $9.27. Half sandwich and half salad deal. Average taste. Nothing special. - Salad Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Me and the wife have been wanting to try Newks for a very long time however we always just walk past it. We finally popped in. She ordered the Greek Salad and Chicken sandwich and I had the Pepperoni and Sausage pizza with the French Dip Sandwich. Her Greek Salad was amazing..... the sandwiches were okay, I don't think I would order again. The pizza was good, light sauce with a nice outside crust, the rest of the crust was very floppy which made it difficult to eat. All in all, I think it was a good experience, I do belIeve we will just stick with the salads on our next visit though, seems to be the alpha here. read more

I enjoyed every single aspect of my visit! Everyone was extremely nice, informative and very helpful. The food was fantastic! I love the hot Royal sandwich and the creamy chowder was great! Everything was fresh and clean! Met the managers and I think my husband was even impressed! Thanks Newk's!! read more

This was good, but nothing exceptional... Just like the Jason's Deli a few blocks down. It was good value for the money. I don't recommend the Caramel Cake. Nothing wrong with the cake, it was good, but just not what I was hoping...pre-packaged standard fare. read more

I've always loved Newk's and eat there often, however I will not be going back (at least not any time soon)! I walked in to place a to go order on the evening of 11/16. I got home and started eating my salad and noticed the first few bites had a gritty taste. I assumed it was a bad piece of lettuce or something so I start to look through the salad and see a large clump of something brown. I picked it up and I'm 99% sure it's a clump of mud! I smooshed it between my fingers and it was for sure the consistency of mud (gritty). I was immediately disgusted and nauseous. But the location was closed by this time. I took my salad back to the store the next day and the manager was confused as I was when he saw the dark brown mystery clump but agreed it looked like mud. He gave me a refund from my order and said he was going to let his manager know about this. For the inconvenience, the Rewards department added 250 points to my Newk's account. (For reference, an adult fountain drink costs 500 Newk's reward points so 250 gets me nothing). Moral of the story: check your foods before you eat it. Especially when ordering within an hour of closing time and they're already starting to clean up. read more

Made a Togo order here for a bbq chicken pizza and grilled chicken sandwich. The ice in the beer cooler was empty and there were 4 quarters, a rubber band, hair and slime on the bottom of the bin. I told the cashier about it needing ice and what was in it and she said that's gross. Then they refilled the ice and didn't clean anything out of the bin. I watched this happen. Upon leaving, I checked my order as always and the chicken on the pizza was dried sprinkles like hard bacon bits. I brought it back in and asked the cashier if it was supposed to look like that and she said yeah, that's why I don't get the bbq chicken pizza because when it goes through the oven it gets dry and hard. They remade the pizza for me with chicken on the side. I told them thank you very much and I appreciated it. The young lady cashier ignored me. We will see how it taste but disappointed in my experience and no management presence at the location on ambassador in Lafayette, LA. read more

Food wasn't too flavorful. I got the steak sandwich. The meat seemed dry even though it was medium well. There weren't enough caramelized onions either. Pasta was lacking sauce also but it was OK Wouldn't come back for that. Will try something else another time. read more

Great Food! The shrimp Pizza, Salads, and Mac &Cheese dishes all tasted fresh and homemade. The selection of drinks is also top notch. Outdoor seating is limited but the interior is very comfortable and clean. The people are courteous and helpful especially when ordering your food. Add some Flatscreen TV's and wireless internet access so the big games won't be missed and think you may have found a great restaurant the whole family can enjoy. I Highly recommend the Shrimp Pizza and the Mac & Cheese. The salads are huge and can feed a family of four. Lighting is perfect and food comes straight to the table quicker than expected. read more

Newk's Eatery - Shrimp Pizza , Shrimp Salad , Mac & Cheese dishes. I enjoyed all 3! - Salad Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Great place for lunch. Salads are inconsistent. You can get a huge salad if you dine it but if you take out it is much smaller because of the size togo boxes. And a little over priced. But good food read more

First time here, and it was SO good. I mean, really good. When you walk in, to your left is a huge, well detailed menu. After you order, you are given a number to place on your table. While you wait, there is a station at the front of the seating area where you can get cracked black pepper, sea salt, breadsticks, various toppings, dressings, napkins, etc. I had the lobster and crab bisque and half of the Italian sammich, and I was impressed. Robust flavors, perfectly toasted bread..mmm. https://www.newks.com/menu/menu/sandwiches/italian/ You could literally hear a pin drop because no one at our table was even speaking because we were all in our own little delicious heaven!! Will definitely be back! read more

Visited during lunch. They managed a large lunch crowd with no delays. Greeted at with friendly smiles. Got my Ahi tuna salad - cooked correctly. Wife got the Newks favorite - she would get it again. Flavors were great and food was fresh. Pleasant upscale atmosphere. Wide range of pizzas, salads and custom made sandwiches. read more

Newk's Eatery - Newks - Salad Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Chicken pesto panini was average. My sons Mac and cheese, average. Probably gonna be another short-lived mediocre sandwich shop, in a town already drowning in them. read more

Ordinary food. Way too expensive for the amount. Should be more thoughtful with recipes, to tell a story with its grand flavors. "5 cheese mac and cheese"? Sounds good on paper but failed to execute anything remotely remarkable. All it seemed it was was charred cheddar with a white cheese sauce and cheap noodles. The only thing I enjoyed was the artificially sweet layered chocolate cake. That's not saying a lot for the rest of the dishes. On waitr it said 49 usd for a whole cake. That's preposterous. That is never to happen in any reality. Wouldn't recommend. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite as we were running around town and for the kind of quick-service style place this is, great experience. The two young girls on staff were SO nice. They smiled, greeted us, and even said goodbye cheerfully. Just all around great attitude and as a long time service industry worker, very pleasant to come across. read more

A great chain that has a wonderful menu and consistent food. I love their soups and sandwiches. This location is on the smaller side but the menu is the same. I'm always happy when I know there is a Newks in town. If you haven't given it a try it is worth checking out. read more

I had been a fan of this place since it opened, until recently. The last few times I've been here have been inconsistent. I raved about this place when it first opened. I was so excited by the entire menu. I felt as if I could not make a poor choice when it came to ordering a meal. I have ordered soup, salad, sandwiches, pizza, and cake. I used to come back to work after lunch and rave about this place so much that other people would go and order from NEWK'S too! The service was terrific. I was greeted every time I walked through the door! The staff was so friendly! They would offer recommendations. I loved it! Well after a few months of being open, everything has changed. The afternoons are not so awful, but do go there later in the day. The device is lacking. The tables are dirty. The floor is dirty. The salad bar is dirty and messy. The cashiers stand behind the counter and eat food that they are wrapping to be sold, while wearing no gloves. I told one of the managers about it. As I was telling him, I told him to turn around and look because they were still doing it. He did talk to them about it. They did stop, but it was clearly allowed to begin with. I was given a $30 gift card to come back. I did. I came back 3 times with the gift card. Yesterday I went there again. This was the icing on the cake, my mother found a strand of hair in her salad. We both immediately stopped eating. We asked for a refund. I told the cashier that I did not want a gift card because I WILL NEVER BE BACK! CLEAN UP YOUR ACT! GO BACK TO THE STANDARDS YOU HAD WHEN YOU FIRST OPENED! I'm going back to McAllister's! They have never let me down! Which Wich is also right next door. They have always been consistent. read more

We tried Newk's for a safety meeting lunch and the overall consensus was, "Meh." You know there's disappointment in the room when everyone starts talking enthusiastically about other restaurants. I had the 5-cheese pizza and I'm not impressed. It was overly greasy, chewy, and overcooked. The "fresh" basil was gray and if there were sun dried tomatoes on there they were really well-hidden. So my first impression of Newk's in Lafayette was less than spectacular. I can not speak to other items on the menu, but if you're looking for a GREAT oven-fired pizza in the area, go to Pizza Artista. read more

Don't mind paying a higher price as long as the quality is there......and Newks nailed it. Very Impressed with this place. Definitely will be a regular. read more

If you want to wait in a long line for mediocre food and crowded seating, this is the place for you. The food was not worth the wait or the money. This place is comparable to Jason's deli or Zoes yet not nearly as impressive as either one. I'd skip this place and go somewhere you know you'll be satisfied!! read more

Hand tossed salads, freshly made sandwiches and pizzas and huge slices of cake! Easy place to go to for lunch and super easy for carry out! They have a fixings bar, which is really nice if you need anything extra. Love the vibe of the place, quaint, but classy. read more

Best fast casual restaurant in town. Staff friendly and helpful. Menu diverse covering all the tastes. Great soups. Really mean that. I'm not a real soup person but you gotta try the lobster chowder and the baked potato soup. The salads are HUGE. The greens are fresh. All around its a great place for a quick bite. read more

ordered a French dip sandwich for lunch. Mcallisters, Jason deli, and many others have a much better French dip

Tried the ahi salad and the steak sandwich they were both good. The salad was bigger than I thought which was nice but the sandwich was kinda small. I enjoyed it better than panera but expensive $27 for a party of 2 for a salad and sandwich read more

I had my mother in law pick some up while I was in the hospital. It's an excellent option for those on a restricted diet. I had a c-section so I had to be careful what I ate. I had a salad with added avocado. Five stars! read more

First time trying after recommended by a friend....I have to say that the club sandwich was outstanding. The bread was hard on the outside yet soft on the inside. I had the gumbo which my bf liked but was more like a New Orleans style which isn't my favorite. He ordered the Deluxe pizza which was fresh and good! Nice healthy options. Will try other stuff!! read more
