Full transparency, I was invited out to a private soft opening ahead of the December 8 date where food was complimentary. Because no money was exchanged, I will not be reviewing the food and instead, give readers an idea of what to expect. My longstanding policy continues where I prefer to only review food that I paid for and am fully invested in, like a paying customer, to remove any potential bias because of this conflict of interest.
The menu featured 14 sandwiches, 11 salads, 4 wraps, 4 soups, 9 pizzas, and multiple sides, desserts, and kid’s meal options.
With a decent-sized menu, it could be a struggle deciding what to get. Newk’s Eatery makes it a little easier with its mix & match pairings, where you can choose 2 or 3 items from sandwiches, salads, or soups that can range anywhere between $10.99 and $13.99.
I did that with the Newk’s Q sandwich, Newk’s Favorite salad, and the lobster & crab bisque soup.
We also had a mac & cheese kids meal that came with a drink and a side. These run $4.99. Options also include sandwiches, a pepperoni or cheese pizza, and grilled cheese.
A friend had the loaded potato soup that I was able to try.
And to round it out, we had the Newk’s Q pizza.
A couple complimentary things I recommend everybody trying on their first visit is the free Italian breadsticks available at the drink counter. Be sure to also ask for the bread & butter pickles.
Final Thoughts on Newk’s Eatery
It’s quite spacious inside Newk’s Eatery. There’s plenty of room for parties of all sizes.
I was also told they plan to do a big Super Bowl-themed event when the big game arrives.
Service-wise, the soft opening event was all hands on deck, and I must say it was one of the smoothest ones I’ve attended in recent memory. In my experience, a well-run soft opening leads to a great experience as it pertains to the service.
As for the food, I’ll leave the commentary for the day I drop in as a paying customer. It wouldn’t be fair of me to start critiquing food that was either given for free or I was paid to do so since that’s been my policy for so many years now.
