Newk’s Express Cafe

The food is very good, but it is also expensive. The 1\2 pimento cheese sandwich and soup plus drink was $ 12. Pretty expensive lunch. But It did taste great.

This is the best newks in memphis. I only get the italian. The parking lot is very horrible.

This is among my bucket lists of places in Memphis to eat before I move. Well, I know it’s a chain. But, still. It’s in Memphis. And it’s in my bucket list. Anywho, let’s review, shall we?
First off, I had no idea what to expect. I heard the place was good. But, that is it.
The atmosphere was nice. It wasn’t your average dine-​in facility. At least, not to me. You walk in, look at the menu on the wall next to the register. And, you order your food right there. They give you a cup. You go to the small salad topping bar (if you ordered salad), and sit down, and wait for your FRESHLY cooked food to arrive at your table.
The service we had was nice. The guy at the register was polite. The food was fantastic. I had a platter with half of The Q (a chicken, Swiss and white BBQ sauce sandwich) and macaroni and cheese.
I tell you, the Mac and Cheese was out of this world. The sandwich was mouth-​watering. On top of that, their sweet tea was pretty dog-​gone tasty.
Would I eat there again? Absolutely. Hats off to this tasty diner! Well, at least two thumbs up, and two toe thumbs up at the Cordova location.

I imagine their entire menu is good but I may never know because I’m hooked on the Newk’s favorite salad. I’ve been coming here for years and each visit my intention is to get something new. However, after scouring the menu and deciding on a new entrée. Newk’s favorite, no artichokes, tossed always rolls off my tongue.
The Newk’s Favorite is a spring mix salad typed with pecans, dried cranberries, red grapes, gorgonzola and grilled chicken with a Sherry vinaigrette.(and artichoke hearts, I opt out if those) Heavenly!
They have a non traditional condiment bar and the pickles are delicious! They are like homemade bread and butter pickles.

Newk’s has become one of my favorite spots for work and lunch. Their shrimp avocado salad is awesome. They have free wifi for customers, but I hate that power outlets are limited. Also, they have a big room in the back that is great for meeting friends, but it’s first come first served and only has one power outlet. Other than that, it’s great though. Great food and great ambience.

Love this place. I ordered the bbq chicken pizza and it was great. I go here at least once a week. I love the Caesar salad too.

Nice layout and friendly staff. My two favorites are the pimento cheese sandwich and the pepperoni and sausage pizza. Yes, the pizza’s are great and come out as quick as the sandwiches. Not fan of the slaw, but I have a preference for a little mustard in my slaw. Fruit cup is always fresh with a seasonal variety.

Newk’s is one of the few chain restaurants that I’m happy to see! All of their sandwiches are delicious, and the vibes in the establishments are great! It’s a little pricey, but definitely worth it.

Can’t go wrong at Newk’s, great place for lunch or even a quick dinner. Place is casual, order at the counter and deliver to the table.
Menu consists of pizza’s, sandwiches and salads. All well made and delicious.
No alcohol, just soda’s and ice tea.
If your looking for great food at a good price and quick. This is the place

Newk’s is another casual dining café. The menu, however, is unique and appealing to a variety of likes. I think the Shrimp Po’boy is a mainstay for me. I have them put the pickles on the side and get a drink and side of pasta salad. The sandwich is delicious. I’m addicted. I also like that they give you the big plastic cup to take home. For a single guy, things like that are important for whatever reason. Newk’s is probably the best casual dining café I’ve come across. The down home, friendly service is great. And when you become a regular, you find that these aren’t just teens here today and gone tomorrow. The staff remembers me and knows just about my entire order from memory. Service is fast and with a smile. These folks do a great job of serving you and then staying out of your way. And for the record, the restrooms are ALWAYS clean.

Same folks that did McCalister’s BUT WAY BETTER!!! I have eaten here seriously over 100 times — well eaten or ran through and grabbed a slice of cake or cup of tea!
I have had everything from a sandwich, a salad, pizza and soup (also had them cater office luncheons) from here and have never, EVER ever had a bad experience.
Rather dining in, calling in to-​go order or walking in and grabbing from their «Grab n-​Go» station — the product is always solid — and I am always happy.
Everything is made to order — and from scratch. They make their own salad dressings (I could drink them all), their own croutons — slice their own meat and whip up the fresh chicken salad.
Best salad ever is the Newk’s Favorite and my husband loves the Newk’s Q sandwich and pizza with their delicious «White BBQ Sauce». The portions here are HUGE so I never mind paying $ 10 for a salad.
Their cakes are baked from their bake shop in Oxford MS — they used to use another bake shop there which was better but now they do it themselves with what appears to be new recipes… the caramel cake was better before.
***Insider’s tip: keep your cup and take it back for 79 cent refills****

Newk’s is the best place ever! Had the Newk’s Q, it was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten. I definitely recommend this place to anyone. The atmosphere here was pretty good. Had a very cozy feel to it. Very clean and staff were very friendly.

Always good. Always fresh. Always fast. I will return. I have the spicy shrimp pizza and it was amazing. I usually get the shrimp po boy. Tried something different and it was great as well.

Newk’s is one of my favorite places to eat. Ya gotta try the pimento cheese and bacon Mac and cheese! It’s wonderful and can be a meal or a side.
Potions are generous so come hungry or take half home for lunch the next day.
The atmosphere is a bit trendy, but after the food came we forget all about that !

Really good salads (read: BIG), sandwiches and pizza. Cake made by Frosting here in Memphis!

Similar to café express and Jason’s deli. I enjoyed the laid back service and food was pretty good. I had the newk’s original salad and broccoli cheese soup. Nothing to complain about. Sweet tea, expedient food service and overall taste were on point.
It would be helpful if there were a few more food option, but this place is similar to deli style café, so their options were moderate.
Overall I would eat here for lunch or light bites again.

I love newks, absolutely LOVE them. However, this time my chef salad had a very bitter taste all the way through it. I suspect one of the lettuce batches had gone a little funky.
That being said, I would not let that deter me from eating at Newks. We eat at another location about once a week, if not more.

Awesome toasted sandwiches! The food is excellent, but a bit pricey. The atmosphere is nice, and the customer service is great.

Friendly staff. Great menu. Love the fast-​casual and table service style restaurant, too. My one complaint is how incredibly crowded the parking lot is if you visit on a weekend.

The guys in my department love coming to Newk’s. Their mountainous salads and soup-​half-​sandwich combos are their healthy excuses to engorge. One of them always orders pizzas and kept bugging me to try one. So, one day, I relented and ordered the Newk’s «Q».
Bacon…the gateway meat. Dang, there is bacon all over this yummy thing, along with chicken, appropriately-​spaced jalapenos, a delicious sauce of undisclosed ingredients, and tomatoes (which I can live without). In my opinion, this is Cali Pizza Kitchen’s BBQ Chicken pie on steroids.
I wolfed a «Q» down yesterday and had to go back again today to make sure it wasn’t just my imagination. The pizza arrived piping hot, and I was only a couple of degrees each bite from scalding the roof of my mouth. Didn’t bother me. I motored through the whole thing in about 8 minutes.
At $ 11.19 with drink, it was a terrific investment for a lunch hour.
The Newk’s «Q» is off-​menu. You have to request it. I was encouraged by my cashier to contact «headquarters» and ask that it be added. She said if enough people did so, they’ll add it. My email-​writing campaign is underway.
