Newk's Eatery - Jonesboro

The salad was just average—essentially a standard garden salad. I didn't enjoy the avocado chicken bacon sandwich; it lacked any flavor. My partner ordered the Newks Q sandwich, and he agreed that it wasn't good either. We also tried the pasta salad, which was very bland. I had higher expectations based on the positive reviews, but I was disappointed. A sandwich from Lenny's would have been a much better choice.

The restaurant is fantastic! The staff is friendly, the food is fresh, and the prices are great. Both kids and adults leave happy! And the potato soup is absolutely delicious!

Don’t order Southern Salad. It does not have grilled chicken. It has chicken Salad on it.

Newks is a big “go-to” for me, being gluten and dairy free (I know… insert eye roll ? but it’s real). So, I go to a lot of Newks all over the south. I will say I am a little biased to this one. Mainly because I have seen the owner/managers get in there and do every job from trash, bussing tables, delivering food to working the register. Always nice. Always clean. Consistently fresh.

The prices are too high, especially considering the mediocre quality of the food. We spent nearly $60 for two drinks and a medium pizza, along with a chicken salad that had what seemed like cold cut-style meat. Overall, I would rate the food a 2 out of 5.
