Newk’s Eatery

I’m love with Newk’s, the Newk’s Q sandwich and pizza are a must try! They also have my favorite Caesar salad to date.

This setup seems to work, especially for lunch. I only had a salad but I was impressed with it. I will be back to try some other items on the menu

The price and taste of pizzas are a 5 star! But the service and delivery dropped the rating. I’ve had almost 10 pizzas from here… And half forgot the basil on my Margherite pizza. Not cool, considering I find out when I get home. Yeah my bad for mot checking my pizza at pickup. But sometimes, there just isn’t time. It can get crowded at Newk’s. I love the pizza dough since its light and slightly crisp. Not dough-​y, cooked just right.
The salads are huge portions and pretty good. The sandwich I’ve tried is veggie, Portobello in it. Good stuff if you like goat cheese.

Clearly, this system works. Delicious pizzas, soups, salads and sandwiches make for successful outings for lunch or dinner at this very clean establishment. I frequented Newk’s during my undergraduate years at Olé Miss, and I have to admit it is still one of my favorite places to eat when I can’t make my mind up. Be sure to try as much on the menu as possible, and grab a slice of cake for dessert!

I absolutely love the cleanness of this restaurant. You walk in and it’s just… clean. And convenient. Take out orders are separate from dine in orders so there’s no confusion or build up of people. There are two drink stations (one for take outs, one for dine-​ins) which keeps the build up down in those areas as well. The staff is friendly and the food is yummy. This place really comes off more to me as a soup, salad, and sandwich place; however the best thing here has to be the PIZZA! The pizza is so yummy! It’s baked fresh in a wood fire stove (to my knowledge) and you can tell. Be sure to also check out the soup schedule since it changes daily. The potato soup is also quite delicious (if you like cheddar be sure to request it since it doesn’t come with it). All in all, this is a great choice for lunch and also probably dinner (although I’ve never been during dinner hours) Oh, and how can I forget the best part… the desserts! The chocolate cake is simply amazing, as is the brownie and rice Krispy treat. Try it out if you haven’t!

Love this place! Amazing variety and food. The staff is always nice and the atmosphere is perfect. My favorite lunch spot in BR

This place is nice restaurant at the top of a hill, and it’s new so not many people know about it. When you walk in, you will see against the wall, their large menu and you order at the cash register first. There’s also a small section at the restaurant that you can get an unlimited amount of breadsticks, crackers, croutons and other condiments! Food does not take long either, and the people that work there are really nice and welcoming!
I ordered the Newk’s Q sandwich and i know for a fact that I will be coming back for more! Sandwiches comes with a side your choice of pasta salad, fruit or you can upgrade for a soup or salad.

Went during lunch rush. It was pretty busy but the staff had it under control. Ordered the lunch deal picked a Caesar salad and the steak sandwich. The food took about 10 mins to hit the table, the sandwhich was luke warm (considering that it was meant to be hot) this affected the overall taste. The salad was fresh and crisp and really tasty. The restaurant was clean and I liked the open kitchen. The macaroni was very creamy and tasty and came out hot. The menu has a wide selection with items suitable for all ages. Overall, I would not consider Newks as my first choice for quick deli style dining in Baton Rouge, but I may give it another try in the future.

This place is a really great place to go for lunch. If you don’t get there early they will be crazy busy and the food may take a little longer to come out. Those are just signs of success. I have had something different each time and have yet to be disappointed. When it comes to the sandwiches, at first glance it doesn’t seem like much but once you add your additions from the pepper bar and take that first bite you now know what you have. A sandmich that is «Good Eats». Speaking of the pepper bar. I love getting the bread sticks, pickles, banana peppers, and croutons and eating them by themselves. The Spicy Chicken Pizza is awesome as well. The mac n cheese is good not great but good. However I don’t like mine baked.
I will continue going and living the mission of trying something different each time. I suggest the same to you.

Newk’s is always a good easy meal. I am not the best fan of chain restaurants, but the food here is always very fresh. I have two go to things that I crave very often, and that is the Newk’s Que sandwich and the Newk’s Favorite Salad.
First the sandwich, there is something about white bbq sauce and chicken… ummmm. I always get the half so that I can get soup or salad with it, but I instantly regret it. When you visit, go for the whole and if you can’t eat it all save some for later. I would imagine that the BBQ sauce would be messy and not good to go, but I realize that they put just enough to make it taste great without the mess. Less mess makes it easier to eat on the road, so I often get this before a long ride… it is much better than eating fast food.
Now for my salad :-) I’m so happy I found this. I love a good salad with something more than cheddar cheese. This yummy goodness has Gorgonzola, nuts, chicken, fruit… you name it, it’s in there. This salad is huge and absolutely amazing. I eat it at least once a week.
The inside is often very empty, I wonder if people don’t know about this place. I hope they find out soon, because if you live near it is always worth the trip!

4 stars for what they are, a good sandwich eatery, but still a 3 overall compared to other restaurants. I’d give 3.5 if I could. It’s a step above Panera bread, and they have a great condiment bar and also very good iced tea. It reminds me of a nicer Jason’s deli. Food was good, but the bread on the sandwiches were a little too thick and crunchy honestly. My niece got the grilled cheese and she didn’t eat much bc of the thick hard bread so I would recommend pizza for kids. I’d like to try the salads, they looked pretty good. At lunch on a Wednesday (today) they were PACKED and the parking lot was kind of wild. Lots of SUV’s parked in the compact spots (shocker.) But they recently opened so, maybe it will settle down soon. Everyone was friendly, and worked quickly and efficiently. The bus boys were hustling to keep the tables cleared. My husbands shrimp po-​boy wasn’t very seasoned, needed salt. Wasn’t much to it. My veggie portobello sandwich was awesome, in addition to my spinach and feta soup. The fruit cups were basic, but definitely fresh. It’s one of the better lunch spots in the area, the counter service helps you to get in & out at your own pace. If the food was more consistent I would give them an extra star and I will re-​visit later to see how they’re doing. Overall good experience and I would recommend trying it out. I appreciated the vegetarian options and the patio is nice.
2^nd visit– less busy this time (I chose after lunch rush while raining.) My fire roasted tomato soup was superb and newk’s favorite salad is awesome. They have a new unsweet peach tea which I really enjoyed, and I really love their sautéed garlic cloves on the condiment bar. Also croutons and Parmesan cheese were a great addition to my soup. Yum!

Newk’s is a solid addition to the Baton Rouge casual food chain scene. Sure, it’s no Jason’s Deli but everywhere you look, there’s a smiling face ready to help. There’s a great covered patio area out front for the days when the weather is nice — plus, it’s a perfect place to thank your lucky stars you aren’t sitting in traffic at Corporate and Jefferson.
The food is nothing mind-​blowing but they execute comfort food classics like macaroni and cheese, broccoli cheese soup, and grilled cheese to perfection. I also enjoy the ability to mix and match half sandwiches with a soup or side garden/​Caesar salad. It allows the repeat customer to try something different each time without an overwhelming amount of food. Want to try this option? Go for the Veggie Club with gooey mozzarella combined with roasted veggies like portobellos and tomatoes and smeared with pesto and the «side» Simple Salad that’s packed with even more delicious veggies. Make sure you don’t skip the homemade ranch and the pickled garlic on the salad bar to complete the meal.
I’ll definitely be back to try some of the seafood dishes, but I’m certainly ready for the Northgate location to open so I don’t have to drive as far for a weekday lunch :)

I’m a sucker when it comes to sandwich, salad, soup type delis. Honestly, I love them all. McAlister’s is my ultimate, Panera, etc. Theres so many!
Newk’s eatery offers the same type of atmosphere, but with pizzas also on their menu (10 inch «one» serving size)
I wanted to kind of try everything since it was my first time eating here. My boyfriend got the BBQ CHICKEN pizza. I got the Newks «Q» with a Caesar side salad (extra $ 2). We also got the Pimiento Bacon Mac n Cheese.
The Mac n Cheese was $ 6, tiny, and not at all impressive. I honestly would have rather Kraft. There was not a lot of bacon at all. I would not order this again. McAlisters side of Mac is only $ 1 and it’s so much better.
The BBQ chicken pizza was meant for one person but it’s six small slices, I wouldn’t be able to finish it myself but my boyfriend did. It was good except the tomatoes placed on where whole tomato slices. I wish they cut it smaller.
I got the Newks Q. If you ever had the Chicken Carbonara at Quiznos it’s exactly what it tastes like. It’s a white BBQ sauce that tastes like a salty ranch kind of. It has shredded chicken and bacon.
The Caesar salad was DA BOMB. But a little too much dressing.
Overall, I love love love the bread they use for the sandwich. With everything I got, the total was $ 32 with two drinks… kind of pricey but next time I’ll try to stick to drinking water and not getting the Mac.
Id like to come again and try more sandwiches.
I give it three stars because I didn’t like the Mac n cheese, I didn’t like the tomato size on the pizza, I didn’t like the cost.
However, in flavor, they seriously rule. In service, it’s a lot of teenage to college student servicing — they’re fine. In atmospher — it’s really casual. Great for lunch or dinner. Perfect for a super casual date or meeting.

I have been here a few times dining in and eating out.
When eating in I would say it is best not to go at lunch time during this week because this place is PACKED. Not to say that having lots of customers is a bad thing but they have table right on top of each other and you have to interrupt other diners just to get to a table.
Now I would recommend the Newk’s «Q» my co-​worker and I get this sandwich almost every time and it is to die for. Portions are big and the staff is super friendly. Although the restaurant is super busy the wait for food is not long.

Ok, I just had to try the new place in town. Much to my surprise I was not impressed. This place remind me of a Jason deli with out the salad bar. I did like the service but the food, was something to be desired.
There is no substitution for bread unless you are ordering the sandwich to go. I got the pesto chicken sandwich that comes with chips. You are only allowed to order the selected sides. I wanted to add soup and that would have cost me an arm and a leg. The sandwich is a hot sandwich. Nothing to hoot and holler about or get again.
We also ordered the Newk’s Q pizza which has grilled chicken breast, white BBQ sauce, applewood bacon, roma tomatoes, jalapenos, mozzarella and provolone cheese. It was different but wasn’t that bad. I could get that again, but it isn’t added to my frequent list.
Furthermore, this place is pretty pricey, so I hope that goes over well when they open the location on campus. I do not think I will be a repeat customer because, like I said in the beginning, I was not impressed.

Let me start with the MUSIC was way too loud. Cashier seem to uninterested about taking your order, good thing it was a slow night. Everything looks great on the menu Picts, I had the pizza which was tasty though dough was undercooked. Wife had a steak sandwich that looked very pale and barely had any meat. Location was great. Also hate it when someone is sweeping the floors right next to your table. I had higher hopes for the place. I think I’ll just go back to Panera now.

This place has a lot of healthy salads. The salads are huge enough for two people to share. They have a option for half salad and half soup but it doesn’t include any of the speciality salads. Food comes out fast. This place reminds me of Jason’s deli.

It wasn’t too packed on a Saturday night although it was later than a normal dinner. The food was fresh and super delicious. Everyone I went with loved what they ordered. They have a nice little salad bar style island in the middle. The prices are great for the portions they give you. I’ve been to other Newks locations in Texas and I’ve always liked it. It has healthy options and a lot of salad choices. I definitely would say I like it better than Panera, Jason’s deli, or La Madeline. They have booths for bigger group parties that’s convenient. The food was out pretty quick. The only complaint would be they weren’t quick to clean tables after people left. I guess it was because there wasn’t a since of urgency since it wasn’t packed.

I popped in for a slice of cake and coffee. The place was packed but my cake arrived minutes after I ordered at the counter. The chocolate cake had thick icing and was served chilled from a cooler. Chilled cake is not my favorite as it seems to make any cake taste a bit dry but the delicious chocolaty flavor was there and the icing was thick and plentiful. The fresh tasting coffee complimented the cake perfectly. In fact I loved the medium roast coffee more than Starbucks and you get a generous size cup for only a $ 1.69. That’s a great deal for a great tasting cup of Seattle roast!
I plan to return Sunday for the Lobster and Crab Bisque. See you there.

I’m soooo excited that they’re open! Can’t wait for the one to open up on campus too! I feel like everything I’ve ever eaten there has been good. Even on their first day open, everything was enjoyable and ran smoothly. I was greeted by the GM when I walked in and he (Chad) was very friendly. The lady at the cash register was very very nice as well. I enjoyed my chicken chili. I went up and added some Tabasco to give it a little spice. I love the little bar with peppers and sauce etc in the middle of the restaurant. My husband had The Q sandwich and he thoroughly enjoyed it, as there was nothing left on his plate. Ha. I can’t wait to go back. Keep up the great work!
