Food was fantastic. Got the Green Goddess salad with extra avocado and it was on point! Person taking our order was not friendly or helpful at all, but the lady who brought our salads out was super friendly!! The place always appears clean, but everything you touch seems to always be sticky!! read more

Last time I've been to Newk's was when I visited Mississippi which was years ago. I came on in today with my sibling. I would have eaten at a local mom and pop spot being that it was my first time in Lufkin, however, the only place I could find that was vegetarian friendly, but easy to make their meals vegan was Newk's. I ordered the Newk's favorite salad without cheese and meat. Surprisingly, it was actually delicious and satisfying! I cleaned the bowl. There was just one shred of cheese in the bowl which I made myself clear no cheese, but it was easy to remove. The sherry vinaigrette was the bomb.com. I liked how it marinated with the artichokes and the salad mix. It was nice sweet touch with the cranberries and red grapes. The salad was light, but fulfilling. The location wasn't the cleanest, but they only had one chick bussing tables, running the register, and handing out plates. This sole chick even prepared my salad. It would be nice if she could get paid more than minimum wage for doing the most work, but unfortunately that's not how jobs operate in this day and age. The interior of this establishment was quite outdated and "beat up". There was a lingering odor of something not food related that I could not pinpoint. read more

Newk's Eatery - Caesar salads. - Pizza Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

Good place for salads. Elena did a great job checking us out. I wish the soup would use less flour though considering that it stops me up and that the Newk's main salad came with a less sweet dressing that was more savory. read more

I got the chicken salad sandwich for the first time and it was delicious. I will definitely be going back.

You know the resturant is good when it's packed. The restrooms were clean and the server was friendly.

The cashier was great. The woman in front of me kept saying she was getting a "pick three" and wanted full size salad, sandwhich and Mac and cheese. The cashier made sure she was in fact wanting full size menu items and charged her for them. The customer kept saying it was a pick 3. The total came up over $30 which was right and paid for by the cusp with no issues. The cashier just went on with the order. She did verify a couple of times but not rudely read more

The pimento mac n cheese was so good. They make the absolute best loaded potato soup.

Lunch spot. AlwYs good. great service great food. Love the food and the folks are super friendly.

Food is good and take out area is accurate. I always can choose Newks for good food. I love their ceasar salad dressing and their pizza

Quick service, amazing food will continue to eat and order. Friendly service and cost isn't bad for good food

Thin crust portabella mushroom pizza with Greek salad and a side of macaroni and cheese were very tasty. We ordered the food online from our table and the kitchen staff delivered the items less than ten minutes after ordering. Very clean restaurant and toilet. Good parking. This was my first time eating here and I will definitely be eating here soon. read more

The location is so easy getting in and out. Great service and my grandkids favorite place to eat.

I've always enjoyed great service from the folks at Newk's. The food has never disappointed. You will find that it's never too loud & noisy to carry on a conversation with each other while eating in. read more

Love, love this place! The food is awesome and the service is always fast and friendly. I really enjoy the atmosphere here too.

Always great meal for lunch. AlwAys hot when I pickup. Great soups for a cold day and always makes me want more.

I love the portobello mushroom sub. It is so good! Service is always great. This location is clean and has a great ambiance.

Love me some Newk's! If you want something but not sure what try Newk's because they seem to have everything. I try the grill cheese and soup. Always delicious!! read more

My first impression when walking in to Newk's was wow, this place is beautiful, clean, and very modern looking with nice background music, I can't wait to eat! They have menu boards at the entrance listing several pizza, sandwich, and salad choices. You order at the counter and your food is delivered to your table. As you head to your table you pass a beautiful condiment bar with sport peppers, garlic cloves, and pickled watermelon rind amongst other things. Very chic! Unfortunately, the food did not measure-up to the lovely restaurant ambiance. My Spicy Sicilian pizza was very bland with no hint if spice, none. My husband's sausage and pepperoni pizza was better because the sausage was very flavorful. However, both pizzas had soggy crusts and tasted just like frozen pizzas. No freezer burn, it just tasted like a Totino's, or some other frozen pizza variety... something you might serve to kids. I mentioned my disappointment to the cashier and she was very sweet and understanding, no attitude whatsoever. She assured me that all of their pizzas are hand rolled and made in-house, then she took the time to tell me about some other menu items she thought I might like. I thought she handled the situation very nicely. I also ordered a side Greek salad which was delicious! It was loaded with feta, kalamata olives, onions, and tomatoes. I would definitely order it again. In fact, because this salad was so good, I would recommend trying it as well as one of their other specialty salads, and maybe a sandwich. Just don't order the pizza. read more

Great place to get food super fast. It's very clean in this place. Personnel very friendly and food is so good. Very tasty and fresh!

This location has been open for two days. With that being said, they are bending over backwards to make everyone happy. The service I received was pretty good but you can tell the employees are new at their jobs. That should improve with time. I ordered the roast beef sandwich and the lobster and crab bisque. The sandwich was good. The bisque was a little heavy on the cream. It had a crab and lobster taste but there were no lumps of meat of any kind in the bisque. When I asked about it, they told me that all soups and desserts are made in their bakery in Mississippi and delivered to the store. She really didn't know if the bisque was supposed to have any lumps of meat in it or not. I'll probably be back to Newk's but I won't order the bisque. They do have catering options if you need them. They also have online ordering and carry-out. I hate to give a brand new restaurant only 3-stars but that is all they get from me. read more

I was on business travel and was in the mood for pizza. It was my first time to Newk's. As soon as I walked in I was greeted to make my order at the counter. The atmosphere was clean and modern. I had the option of ear in or take out. Sense I was near the hotel I got my pizza to go. I got a sausage and pepperoni pizza. For me it was just the right size for a meal. It was delicious with a thin crust that was moist. The toppings were fresh and not oily as you get with some meaty pizzas. read more

Wow, congrats! I never thought I would 1 Star ya. Empty restaurant and seven tables filled with crap, employees hanging about and just ignoring the tables. Asked for a salad with dressing on the side and no tomatoes. Received a drowned salad with plenty of tomatoes. Kiddo ordered broccoli cheddar soup so salty it was pretty much inedible. Wifey ordered a pizza with extra artichokes that we paid for and she received about half as normal. Server had the attitude of a person complacent in their job with no chance of getting fired. A bit rude, to say the least. Congrats NEWKS you are consistent at being inconsistent. Response to owner: When they are on it, the food, service and facilities are great. It's just never consistent. This has been since the place opened. I have talked to managers and written reviews and it's the same thing. We are averaging a 33% rate of bad experiences at your restaurant. It will be another 6mo or so before we return again. read more

We only recently discovered Newk's, but it's on our regular rotation now! Place is clean and nice, and the food is fresh and tasty. The salads are generous and fresh, and it's our choice for pizza! read more

The service was great ! The Pizza was good ! However if you like pizza with more crust you will not like this pizza The crust is super thin and not at all crunchy,not much crust to hold on to. They have bottled domestic beers, salads and layered cakes, at the end of the day I give it a thumbs up. read more

Love Newk's!! The food quality is always great and staff are always very friendly!! 5 Excellent restaurant!! read more

Clean location with good parking and great service. Good selection of soup. The salmon is good too. Quiet atmosphere.

First time trying and my salad was very good. I like the astomphere and it was very clean. Staff was helpful and nice. read more

This is very similar to McAlister's. You go up to the counter and order then seat yourself and your food is brought to your table. I ordered the Southern Salad. It is a very large salad. The chicken salad was very good with lots of chicken and not majority of fillers like grapes. I also had the chocolate cake from the cooler. I normally will not order pre-sliced cake because it is usually dry. However, this cake was very moist and the cake to icing ratio was perfect. I would definitely go back- maybe just for that cake. read more

I never even considered eating at Newk's.... well, because it's called Newk's. And, because the outside of the building was less than appealing to me. After a colleague requested to eat lunch here, I was seriously impressed. You walk into a very nice bistro style restaurant. The menu options are plenty. And, the food was outstanding. So much flavor! I had the half Italian sandwich and bowl of loaded potato soup. It was amazing! I will definitely come back. And as the phrase goes..... never judge a book by its cover :) read more

My husband and I go here all the time. Some times we dine-in, sometimes we get take-out. But the food is always perfect. I get the chicken salad sandwich and simply salad every time. Also, the employees are always so nice and helpful. Newks is definitely my favorite place to eat in Lufkin. read more

My son and I visited Newk's for lunch, as the place was not very busy mid-afternoon. We each had a sandwich and soup, and he also got a salad. Even though the place was fairly deserted, there were no clean tables, so we ended up sitting at a large booth. Since I had recently had some dental work done, I asked that my sandwich be made on soft bread instead of the usual hard kind. When our order arrived, 40 minutes later, our soup was cold and the bread on my sandwich was rock hard. No apologies were offered about any of the problems. But the saddest part was that the owner was seated at the next table over. Never did she get up and offer to help the workers nor clean off any of the tables. Needless to say, we were very disappointed with our visit, and probably won't go back, as it seems the prices do not reflect the food nor the service. read more

Wonderful place to eat! 5 stars Great service. Friendly crew. Great food. Beautifully decorated inside and a lovely patio with tables outside. Highly recommend. Prices are reasonable. Great addition to Lufkin, TX. Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

Newk's Eatery - Pizza Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

I love the Farmers market sandwich. It's so delicious! I usually order a half sandwich and a cup of soup. The tomato soup is my favorite that they make. I also love the chicken pesto sandwich. You can't go wrong with either of these choices. The staff is efficient and friendly. Their catering service is great too. They catered my brothers rehearsal dinner. I was in charge of arranging it and the staff made it super easy for me to do. I am glad Lufkin has a place like this to enjoy. Good job Newks! read more

Amazing place! Had the roast beef sandwich and a side of potato soup. The sandwich was incredible fresh and the soup was thick, get the bacon on it! Very friendly staff and super clean. Ok on price, but worth it. read more

Awesome food. Love the grilled chicken sandwich. Salads are very good also. Nice staff also

First time eating at Newks, I would have to say it was okay. I think it is a twist between Panera bread and Cafe Express. Large variety of items. I ordered the chicken salad, chicken chili, and strawberry cake. I liked the chicken chili soup very much and the cake was good. With many items to try-out, I will return. Looking forward to trying the pizza! read more

I ordered a pepperoni pizza and simple salad. When I went to pick my food up I was ignored by staff for a good 5 mins they were standing around laughing and talking . When someone finally did get to me, she seemed nice enough. The pizza was cold, looked nothing like it does online( where I ordered it, this was my first time ordering). The crust was doughy, not crispy as they state. It was not strong enough to hold the toppings of the pizza, the pizza drooped. The taste was ok and I think I only say that because I was extremely hungry. I gave it one star because the salad was good and the cups are pretty. I will not be going back though and I would never recommend anyone to go not for the prices that don't live up to the food and service. read more

I order take out from newks a lot & my food is always perfect & ready when I get there.
