Newk’s Express Cafe

Newks has the best pizza I’ve tried in Atlanta! do give this place a try, the vibe is friendly counter service and the food is excellent. Lots of salad options which I love. Chicken salad is amazing.

Had the veggie club with a Caesar salad, the salad was good af cuz they tossed it for you but I was pretty ill you could only get a Caesar or house salad with your sammich, because I really wanted to try the ultimate salad but I guess il have to wait til next time.

The service and the food are always consistent. Order at the counter and sit back. The roast beef sandwich is so good and perfectly put together. The salads come dressed which I love. The dressing is not too heavy and full of flavor. The staff is so nice. This is the quick go to when you can’t think of where to go but want good food.

My daughter and I both ordered the half salad half sandwich deal. Plenty of food! The small salad is a huge bowl, overflowing with the salad, which was a good mixed green salad. The club sandwich is excellent, especially the bread! The bread and the light toasting they do made the whole thing. I usually do not like toasted sandwiches but this was very good.
Fast service in a Saturday night and reasonable prices. A must stop if you want a quick and light meal.

I’m going to give this place 5 stars for a few reasons.
One, the food is great for the price. 8 bucks for a pizza? Oh yeah!
And the staff is always very friendly. They are always smiling and happy to greet everyone who comes through the door!
I’ve heard more things than the pizza here are good, but I can recommend the newks Q pizza and the spicy pizza.

If you are reading this to decide whether or not to go here– just stop reading and go now! I went here on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch with co-​workers and I am so glad this place was suggested. Service was good and the food was GREAT! The best chicken salad sandwich I have ever had– hands down. It was big enough to fill me up– I actually was full before finishing it. My only complaint is that I did not know about this place sooner! One of our co workers was out of the office so he missed out– but we have already said that we have to return soon so that he can experience the amazing food. I wish Newk’s was located a little closer to my building so I could go more often– but then again I may go broke because that would make me want something from there everyday. Lol.

I’m stingy with the 5 star ratings and this place gets one.
I’ve been multiple times for lunch and Newk’s doesn’t disappoint. There’s something for everyone here. Great salads, flat bread/​pizza and sandwiches. They’re very quick and accurate and location right on peachtree gives you that great downtown feeling.
If you ever just want something quick, cheap and good on Peachtree, Newk’s is your place.

I have never been disappointed by anything I’ve ordered here. I’ve had salads, sandwiches and pizzas, and they’ve all been great. Best of all is that the people who work there are all pleasant. It’s a great place to go if I need to pick up a quick lunch and get back to work. It is a bit on the pricey side, though.

If I see Ahi Tuna on the menu, chances are, I will order it. So obviously, I decided to go for the Ahi Tuna Salad. I also got the corn and crab soup.
Most places either over cook their ahi tuna or give you 3 measly pieces for such a ridiculous price.
Not this place! The ahi tuna was prepared perfectly. Plus there was such a large portion of tuna too. The soup was good too. The only thing is that they only serve certain soups on certain days, and I’ve been wanting to try some of their other ones. You just have to time it out well.
Overall, I was very happy with my meal! This was a great find, thanks to a coworker of mine.

So I’ve only done take out here but the salads are awesome. It’s a little pricey but the portions are massive so it sort of equals out.
Good so far.

I absolutely adore this place. Trying to eat healthy is not a problem here. I order the simply salad on most days with the wasabi vinaigrette. It is so good!!!
Today I was telling the manager how much I liked the dressing and she have me enough to take home. She smiled and graciously filled my bag.
I probably stop by 1 – 2 times a week for the salad and the lobster/​crab bisque. It’s yummy! I’m due to have my free lunch next time. I love newks!

Fast paced, clean establishment, very busy during lunchtime. I had the salad and sandwich combo. Chicken salad sandwich was a bit bland, but the bread is what saved it, very delicious. Salad was fresh. Loved the black take out cups that are reuseable. The only discouraging thing there was a worker who was cleaning up a table next to us, she was throwing dishes into her cart bin and making unnecessary loud noise, like if she was mad and having a bad day. I think its very rude for workers to clean up like that, when there are patrons trying to enjoy their food and conversation. Just my opinion.

I think this place would a great quick lunch spot for those who work nearby. I just don’t think I’d come out of my way to eat here.
Parking — they do have a parking deck (same as Sweet Hut). But Newk’s only does 1 hour. But at least they do validation!!! :D I feel like a lot of Atlanta restaurants are slowly catching on that people want to leave their cars in a secure area… therefore having decent parking is a must nowadays.
Space — wow, there are A LOT of chairs/​tables around. In fact, the place looks really clean. I was surprised.
Service — the reason why I said I wouldn’t mind coming here during lunch if I worked nearby is b/​c the service is quick! You order, get a # for your table, and they bring the food to you. I think my bf and I got our meals within 8 – 10 mins of us sitting down. #excellent!
Food
I got the Newk’s special sandwich… I just wasn’t feeling it. Chicken tasted bland & the sauce was barely there. And I wished they had the option of a. toasting or b. no toasting. I kind of dislike toasted bread with my sandwiches. BUT I’m particular.
Salad — their half Caesar salad is massive. I liked it. Not too heavy on sauce and had a lot of dark lettuce. Next time, I’ll just order the salad. I love salad.
Bf had the spicy chicken pizza — chicken tasted bland. It had a nice kick since it was spicy but the texture itself was meh.
They also have all their sauces for use near the front of the café. Not a bad idea. Overall, neat place. Come here if you’re in a pinch for lunch.

I was blown away by the Shrimp Avocado Salad… It was surprisingly HUGE and they didn’t skimp on shrimp or avocado. The salad arrived tossed in a delicious lemon balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I was apprehensive about spending $ 11.00 for a salad, but believe me… it was WELL worth it.

Went again for lunch today. I got an email for a free entrée and drink during a 2 week window around my birthday. HOORAY. Whats not to like about that!
The place was packed during lunchtime, yet still a few places to sit. Had the shrimp salad, good yes, but the shrimp were precooked and cold and rather tasteless. Id opt for something else next time. Theres plenty of good choices though and all the food all around me looked great! Get on their mailing list and enter your birthday!

Newk’s is one of several deli players in Midtown, competing with the likes of nearby Fresh2Order, Jason’s Deli and Jimmy Johns, each of whom puts their own spin on the deli concept. Newk’s offers big salads and other typical deli fare like soups and sandwiches. I especially like the thin bread sticks that come with salads and the big self-​serve table that offers lots of sauces and condiments. It’s a unique presentation. All the food I’ve had is good, including the black and blue salad, lobster and crab bisque and pesto chicken sandwich, and they take care to prepare everything to order. But, it’s not different enough to qualify as a destination restaurant. If I was close by I’d definitely drop in.
Newk’s has done a good job of creating a deli atmosphere that’s inviting and super clean and I look forward to exploring the menu on future visits.

I wish they had this place in New York! Quick serve sandwiches/​soups/​and salads!
I had the chicken pesto sandwich with fruits and a side of tomato soup. All of my choices really hit the mark. I also thought the girl behind the counter was super friendly (or super caffeinated).
I would check this out again the next time i’m in Midtown Atlanta.

I love newks but today’s meal missed the mark for me.
Had a meal delivered for a working lunch. I had the Greek salad with a brownie. You get a really nice portion size, so it’s worth the money.
I thought the salad lacked feta. There was some but could have been more. Also there were too many artichoke hearts for my likening. The brownie that came with my meal tasted old and stale, I love dessert so I was really disappointed about that. My colleagues had fresh brownies so I guess I just had a bad one.
Anyway, I still like newks and recommend it.

Ordered delivery last night to my stay-​cation hotel night in midtown. Food arrived quickly and was good as well as affordable. Yes… affordable in midtown!
Side note– apparently you cannot add a tip if you are paying by credit card so remember to have a few bucks cash.

I’ve been to Newk’s Brookhaven location a couple of times so I was very happy to see another location open just blocks from my office. I love the atmosphere of this Newks – it’s roomy and comfortable, and most of the time, the lunch crowd is not very noticeable. I love the presentation of their condiment table right when you walk in. As we dined here, we noticed employees were constantly stocking the table, and it has everything imaginable that you could ever need to add to your pizza, soup, sandwich, or salad. Also, packaged breadsticks for the taking? That’s a win. In addition, their prices are very reasonable and service is speedy.
I ordered one of my favorites – the Spicy Shrimp Pizza. Not too long into waiting, someone stops by our table and delivers both of my coworkers’ meals and informed me that instead of preparing a Spicy Shrimp Pizza, they accidently prepared a Spicy Chicken Pizza and would allow me to have both. Both pizzas came out hot and delicious. The manager checked on us a few times to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and the staff was very helpful. Again, thankful for a midtown location – this is sure to be a favorite!
