Newk’s Eatery

Newk’s has become a must stop location for lunch for my coworkers and I if we are in the area. I work with a strict vegan and the staff at Newk’s has always been more than accommodating to his requests and needs and they’ve gotten his order perfect every time, which is something that doesn’t happen very often. As far as the food goes I love all their soups and my favorite meal is the Newk’s favorite salad. Always a very pleasurable experience with a wonderful staff and excellent food!

Very disappointed with the steak sandwich. Not much meat and very dry. I asked for mozzarella instead of provolone and they charged me a $ 1 extra just to change the type of cheese??? Crazy.
Chicken noodle soup was ok.

Very much a fan of this place. This is the only location that I am aware of my I will not hesitate to visit another one whenever I come across one. First of all they serve one of my most favorite things in the entire world MAC N CHEESE!!! It is delicious! But recently I have been having the soup and salad. Love the freshness of the salads but if you don’t like a lot of dressing I would tell them to give you dressing on the side. But my favorite is the Chicken Noodle Soup. I love it so much. i’s so hearty you aren’t fishing for chicken or noddles. The noodles are more like a dumpling texture which I love. So full of flavor I cannot get enough of it. The only thing I would change is the drink selection. I think the could have more of a variety they have like 3 soda dispensers dedicated to Diet Coke. I always choose the tea since I don’t care for any of the soda options. But that did not stop me from giving this place 5 stars!

We’ve been seeing the ads for this restaurant on the TV a lot so we decided to give it s try.
They carded my 56 year old husband. Then the manager had to come over to okay the sale and he cracked the top off of the bottle. I get being very cautious about serving under age but really??? But no biggie.
I got the Cobb salad with salmon. My God! The salmon was hammered. If it were dropped on the floor it would have cracked. It was soooo dry and over cooked. The lettuce was so overly dressed that it was gloopy. I couldn’t eat any of the salad.
I will give it another try but the next time the salmon is as dry as it was ill send it back. AND I’ll ask for the dressing on the side.

We have been professional in our attention to seeking an adequate representation of their menu before posting a review = once we tried it, we are hooked borderline addicted and have spent $ 100’s of tasty dollars here in under a month.
Of the four soups we like asparagus cheese best and chicken tortilla least.
I LOVE the Debra. I little pizza that I never imagined I would come to eat on a regular basis.
Anything dough… Is excellent. You can order a large sandwhich roll extra for $ 1. Now we can’t go without getting a couple of those to go. Toasted later with butter and honey. Yum !!
Honestly I routinely eat «artisanal» ready fancy, fresh, expensive as a part of my CSA … And this newts bread is the best bread I’ve had in years. Decades? AND THE PIZZA CRUST. zomg.
But. I really don’t like the set up. The menu is off
To the side of where you order. If you are not (yet) a regular … It might just be my adhd but I need a bring a paper and pen especially in the bustling crowd restaurant.
Great: soup size medium is amazing!!!
I’ve had or tasted five or six sandwhiches all great. The best thing I’ve had is their chicken Alfredo pizza … Accept I wanted with shrimp and not chicken… which you can do all nice and easy button push on phone to pick up. But I’m okay to pay extra for shrimp… But I should get savings remove chicken but don’t.
Negative: in you dine in which I recommend for the crust perfection… It’s a pain to get a to go container. Which is really strange as they have all kinds of things like different pickles and cheese and such to add on.
Not for me but nice addition beer and wine option.

So who doesn’t like a good quality «quickie» every now and then? Well, that’s what Newk’s Eatery is. A VERY GOOD QUALITY QUICKIE! You walk in and the smell makes you melt. Everything on the menu is appealing but you have to zero in on what you want to order, knowing you’ll be back to explore the rest of the food options at a later date. Newk’s is not a full service restaurant, meaning, you place your order with the cashier and they’ll bring your food to your table #quickie! That works for me, because it absolutely cuts the time in half! The quality part is evident as soon as you take your first bite. I had the Shrimp Po Boy which was super tasty and loaded with shrimp and the bacon mac and cheese which was as good as it sounds. We all know that everything taste better when you add bacon! lol Newk’s does not have a full service bar but they do sell beer and wine! Again, Newk’s has an awesome menu which I’m dying to try and since this review is all about quality quickie’s then I’ll make this one short, sweet and quick!

I love Newk’s!
A favorite and an old standby, never disappoints. The pizzas are awesome and so is the Cobb salad, and the Mac-​n-​cheese, oh! And the chicken tortilla soup. Actually it’s all good so I won’t bore readers going on longer. We usually order a pizza and a Cobb salad and share them.
The drink selection is extensive and you can get beer and wine if you like! The atmosphere is nice and always clean, including the restrooms which is important. Just go, you won’t be sorry!

I’ve been eating here since their opening in Gambrills a few years ago. Overall the food has been great, with an occasional grilled pesto chicken sandwich with dried up chicken; most of the time this occurs late in the day. The three stars is directed towards their inconsistent service, sometimes friendly and polite and sometimes with a raging bad attitude. The kid taking my order this evening slammed the check and pen down for me to sign, then slammed the table sign down. The odd part of their weakening service is that they recently added a tip line to their checks.

I ordered a salad for lunch and my coworker picked up our food. There were no croutons on the salad, not even any on the side. I paid an extra 6 dollars for shrimp to be added and there were like 3 pieces on the whole salad. And they didn’t close one of the containers all the way and there was honey mustard spilled in the bag! For a salad over 10 dollars I expected a little bit better. Definitely rethinking this as one of my go-​to places for lunch at work.

Nice sandwich shop that we visit every couple of months.

Food is amazing. Their Mac & Cheese has that home-​made, baked flavor. I always have a good experience here. I didn’t give it a full five stars because the restaurant is always very cold and drafty. I also feel like the employees are waiting for us to leave sometimes when it’s empty inside.

This was our first visit to newks had the half of sandwich with chicken and bacon and the Mac n cheese. The sandwich could have had more meat put on it and the Mac n cheese was just ok wouldn’t order again I didn’t see what everyone was raving about. My wife hag the soup and salad I wish I had of got the salad instead of the Mac n cheese. I would have given 4stars if there had of been more meat on the sandwich

Right now you’re hungry and you’ve turned to Unilocal to find somewhere worth eating. Well, this is it. Tell the whiny person in your group to shut up and that no, you’re not going to TGI Friday’s for a second time this week. Navigate towards Newk’s Eatery and read the rest of this review on your way there.
My boyfriend and I were in a similar (foodless) situation today, but we didn’t Unilocal it. Instead, we just randomly walked in. And, we’re both very happy we did. We discussed making it one of our new favorite places. If you eat here, you’ll see why. Here’s a list of what made this place refreshingly different.
(1) After you order at the counter, they give you a number to place on your table and they bring your food to you. When you’re done, you don’t have to bus your own table — they take care of it (unlike at Panera where you try, in vain, to avoid getting your thumb in your empty soup bowl while dropping it in the brown dirty bin). You can tip if you want, but it’s not expected or required.
(2) The kitchen is visible from the lobby so you can watch them make your food if you choose (this should satisfy even the most suspicious tin-​foil-​hat-​wearing person in your party). No, that’s just salt they sprinkled on — not a mind-​control agent.
(3) They have this thing called the «Round Table» at the front of the establishment. It’s cool like King Arthur, but it has nothing to do with knights. Instead, it has all these free high-​end accouterments for you to add to your food: different types of hand-​sliced peppers, crunchy bread sticks, thickly sliced pickle chips, imported capers, huge roasted garlic cloves, etc. You can take as much as you want, but make sure to eat what you take (there are starving kids in Africa. Not here. Just Africa).
(4) They make their pizza dough and desserts from scratch. Their pizza dough is made daily. And, while we’re on the subject of pizza, I had the spicy shrimp pizza. It was really, really good. Seriously. I consider myself a pizza connoisseur. And, this pizza was good. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it beats 95% of the rubbish they call «pizza» in the Baltimore area.
(5) My boyfriend said «It was good.» That sounds meaningless, but it’s really like having your eight-​year-​old mute child speak his first word. My boyfriend is the most unexcitable person out there when it comes to food. Whenever we eat something it’s always just «ok.» It’s almost never better than «ok.» Here, it was «good.» VICTORY! He had the nitrate-​free turkey breast toasted sub and couldn’t stop remarking about how «good» the bread was. He liked that it remained soft despite being toasted.
(6) The owner (or manager?) was going table to table and talking to customers. She wasn’t just rushing by and saying «Is everything ok… great…» before you have a chance to open your mouth (yea, I’m talking about you, Olive Garden). She paused at our table and told us about the restaurant for a couple minutes. I was really impressed with how nice she was.
(7) $ 1.95 gets you a 32 ounce drink that’s refillable. That, in and of itself, is not so great. But, it comes in a well-​made plastic tumbler that’s reusable! Bring it home, wash it out, use it a million times. Now, this particular tumbler says «Newks Cares — September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.» So, I’m not sure if this is a one-​time thing and they’ll later go back to waxed paper cups. However, what I thought was really neat is that these tumblers are recyclable! The tumbler is #2 plastic and the lids are #1 plastic: these are the two most recyclable plastics around. So, if you get one, and you don’t want to keep it, at least bring it home and toss it into your recycling bin.
(8) There are vegetarian options besides a salad (but there are also salads). There is a vegetarian pizza, a five-​cheese pizza, a margherita pizza, a vegetarian club sandwich, a pimiento cheese sandwich, and five-​cheese mac n’ cheese. Grilled cheese is also on the kid’s menu (if you get on your knees to reduce your height and talk like a baby, maybe they’ll sell it to you despite your real age). Depending on the day, they may also have a vegetarian soup.
(9) The bathroom was spotless.

My cousins had been ranting & raving about this spot for months before my initial visit. In fact, when my little cousin celebrated her Sweet16, guess where she wanted to have dinner… I was like, are you sure? We can go anywhere you want. However, she was adamant about celebrating her birthday at Newk’s.
Newk’s is not the casual pizza joint that I expected and has a lot of fresh offerings that go far beyond pizza. The restaurant (including restroom) is clean, well lit, and brightly colored. Service was great and employees really kind. I’ve visited many times since then and tried quality selections like:
+Pizzas: 5 Cheese, spicy chicken, spicy shrimp, The Debra
+Salads: Caesar, shrimp & avocado
+Handcrafted Sammys: Grilled chicken, Shrimp Po’Boy
+Soups: Crab & corn chowder, lobster & crab bisque, Seafood Provençal
If you’re in the area, check them out. Thanks to the great value, I pop in every chance I get. I take advantage of their lunch combos where you pick your favorite duo too.

First time eating here as some coworkers wanted to have lunch here. This is like many Unilocal reviews in that I have passed this place so many times but never went in. Luckily a few people had a taste for it and I am so glad that they did since who knows how long I would keep telling myself. «I will try it one day».
A very clean restaurant with plenty of seating. It seems as if most people come in to get their food to go. It is a very busy area since I went around lunch time and Newk’s is located in a very high traffic area. Keep your head on a swivel because many people seem to act like it is too much trouble to slow down even when in the crosswalk.
There is plenty to choose from on the menu but not so much you are overwhelmed. I went with the sausage and pepperoni pizza after much deliberation. There is a healthy portion on the menu but it’s not like I am looking there. The pizza was a personal 10 inch pizza and it was topped off with fresh basil to accompany the Campioni pepperoni, pork sausage, Roma tomatoes, mozzarella and provolone cheese. From the time I ordered to the time my food was brought to me was no more than ten minutes. All ingredients on the pizza tasted fresh even the dough. Many times you see a frozen pie crust come up out the back and ingredients are just placed on. Not the case here. I was actually very surprised by how good the pizza tasted and I am looking forward to try even more. I am also eager to try their salads. Yes I said salads. The fact that they use fresh ingredients makes a difference and your taste buds will know the difference.

Newk’s has been on my bookmarks for awhile. Soley because of my Unilocal friend Ric P. and of course Elsa. So I was in the area with my hubby, and we decided to give it a try.
Walking in I was inpressed at the space and layout. We gave the menu a glance (there were lots of choices that looked tasty) I opted for the cobb and him of course as always and predictable he got the italian sandwhich. We both got chips and drinks. Drinks seem to only come in one size for adults (super extreme large) for 1.95 and free refills. I will say for 2 meals the total was like $ 23.00. I was a little thrown back by that, $ 23.00 in Panera will get us meals and the child a meal. But oh well… it was ordered and no take backs right. :-)
The cashier gave us our number and picked a spot. We got a booth and our drinks. I was happy to see sweet tea. But I will say the other choices were kinda super basic. Like the fountain drinks I mean if you dont like tea and dont drink soda… lemonade is your only choice. Maybe through in a fruit punch or something. To be fair there is a fridge with bottle drinks, not sure of the prices though.
Our food didnt really take that long. My chicken cobb salad came out and was correct as I ordered, No pecans, No cheese, no tomatoes, Ranch on the side. Perfect… but maybe I should have asked for extra items. I will say it was beautifully presented and the chicken wasnt just some old boxed frozen chicken. No just thrown in the bowl. Hubbys itailian sandwhich was yummy from the bite I took. Everything tasted fresh but the bread … the bread is where its at. As hubby says «the bread made the sandwhich» and I agree!
Little things that made me happy:
Lots of outlets for charging
Free Wifi
Super Clean bathroom even during the lunch rush
Great Customer Service
Outside seating
I kinda cant wait to come back to try some other stuff out, If you are in the area give them a try.

Located in Waugh chapel near Pier 1 I decided to stop in and finally try this place last time I was out shopping. Typical walk up and order before grabbing your drink and table number operation, Newks seemed well attended by customers and staff alike. After ordering you’re directed to grab from an assortment of condiments to include pickles and breadsticks. Admittedly I found this kind of an odd offering but hey, something to munch on while we waited.
A few minutes after we filled our cups large enough to bathe in our food arrived. I had ordered the Italian while the girlfriend ordered the chicken salad. The Italian seemed to have good ingredients to include great bread but it was so overloaded with vinegar sauce that it almost destroyed my taste buds to eat. I love vinegar as much as the next person but this was overkill. That line from Aliens came to mind «We have to nuke (Newk?) it from orbit… its the only way to be sure…» The chicken salad was very good and tasted like the ingredients were well put together. The sides of pasta salad and black bean salad were rather unimpressive. Not a great first go but it was promising enough that I’ll give it another go before I discount it entirely.

Boy, I’ve really been sleeping on this place! Eek! I’ve passed it dozens of times, but never thought to stop until I checked it out on Unilocal first. With so many positive reviews, I knew I had to check it out for myself.
Since it was my first time here, I wasn’t really sure what to order. The cashier was extremely helpful and friendly, as he came from behind the counter to show me the menu (it’s located to the right of the registers) and explain the many options I could make. They specialize in salads, sandwiches and pizzas. I decided on the Shrimp Po Boy sandwich with a side of fruit for my lunch and I also ordered the Cobb Salad for my dinner for later. Since it was a carry-​out order, I waited at a table for a few minutes and the server brought me my food. Had I been dinning in, I would’ve placed my order at the register, had a seat and the server would deliver the food to me. They have ample amount of seating indoors, as well as a patio outside with seating.
The food was shockingly really good! I wasn’t expecting one little old shrimp po boy to pack so much flavor in it. The shrimp on the po boy was seasoned perfectly and the flavor was awesome. It was a nice size sandwich with plenty of shrimp in every bite. Definitely plenty for lunch. When I eventually ate the Cobb salad, it blew my mind! Pecans, blue cheese, eggs, chicken… they had everything in it but the kitchen sink. It comes with blue cheese dressing, but I asked for honey mustard dressing since I heard such great things about it. You should too because it had some heat that kicks you in the back of your throat when you eat it. Delish!
I’m glad I decided to check Newk’s out because I’m now a huge fan. The prices can be a bit steep, so I won’t be here on a regular basis, but I will come back to try a few other dishes. That Cobb salad though!!! Whew!

Atomic Bomb? Exactly how it sounds. Newks… is a nice change from your average deli/​Panera bread type experience. Solid 4 ½.
Freshly decorated with brick and bright colors you walk in and definitely get that small sandwich shop feel, even though the establishment itself is decently sized with plenty of seating. It’s got a pretty chill vibe with the music in the background and is the perfect place to grab lunch with friends. Their service here is also epic. I’ve only had one bad run in with it when I attempted to use their to-​go service and their employee though it would be funny to prank answer and mock me. Other than that their service is great!
I’ve been a regular here since they opened and my wife nor myself have encountered a bad culinary experience. Soups, sandwiches (toasted and not), fresh salads, pizza and a few Mac and cheese options are what you can expect to find. They also offer a «little Newks» section with smaller portioned dishes for the little ones. My personal favorite is the Grilled Steak sandwich which comes with diced tender beef, caramelized onions, provolone cheese and a bit of horseradish spread on a toasted hoagie~like bread. It’s got that savory flavor with a little sweetness from the onions and it absolutely delicious. Little secret… Get that and dip it in there White BBQ sauce. Mm mm good.
One other thing I love is their signature beverage! I am a huge tea drinker and both their sweet and unsweetened teas are brewed perfectly. If tea isn’t your thing they have a small beer selection and your token fountain machine.
So, if your looking for a place to eat super tasty food and almost fee like your eating healthy, give Newks a shot.

I’ve been coming to this joint since it first opened, and I haven’t had a single bad experience. It’s a nice, different addition to what’s already available in this shopping center. You’re probably thinking what I thought when my coworkers first wanted to go there; ‘Salad? (sarcastic) Wooo, awesome.’ But no, really, it’s a lot better than that. The salad really is good, I usually get their half-​size caesar. Lots of dressing, always fresh, and a good-​sized portion for a reasonable price.
My co-​workers and friends have gotten an array of dishes, ranging from soups to pizza, and everyone loves what they get. Their little bar in the front of the restaurant is really nice, full of flavorful additions to your food you might like, and their fabulous packs of breadsticks that I usually punish. Whatever you do, don’t skip the cake! All of their cakes are good, but ESPECIALLY the strawberry! I can’t stop raving about that stuff. I buy two slices every time I go, one for now, one for home. It’s THAT good!
The staff is also very friendly, and food comes out quickly. We usually get a visit from who I’m assuming is the manager, and he’s very polite. A+ establishment!
