Newk's Eatery

Absolutely phenomenal service from Mickey, she was the real star of our dining experience. She went above and beyond making our experience as newcomer's as painless possible. My partner enjoyed the French dip, and lobster bisque. Equally well suited was my italian sub, and tortilla soup; which I devoured. The tortilla soup was dense, scrumptious, filling, flavorful, hearty, and beautifully garnished. Mark this couple as return customers.

My intention was only to peek at the menu and check out the neighboring eateries. However, once I went in, I was so enamored with the menu I was placing my order. I had the margarita pizza with cauliflower crust. It’s not like the traditional margarita pizza. It has a red sauce and only grape tomatoes. So the flavor profile is not there. And the tomatoes do not stay in place because it’s not enough surface to adhere to the cheese. So they just light off. Even though I didn’t really like the margarita pizza. I am definitely going to come back and try, some salads and soup. Even the sandwiches look good. I wish they had locations outside of Jacksonville.

I went there recently with a friend. Neither of us had been there before, but several people had recommended it. We were not disappointed! Great menu & selections. Willing to make modifications to sandwiches that you may want a little different from the way they normally prepare them. Staff is very friendly & helpful. The layout of the dining room makes it feel inviting & comfortable. Everything very clean. Prices are reasonable. Great asset to Mandarin!

Now where else can you get a great tasting sandwich, fresh and fabulous salads and scrumptious soups all under one roof.. Newks certainly answers that call. We enjoyed the half portion portabella veggie sandwhich accompanied by the Greek salad, blue cheese dressing on the side. The Turkey avocado and Greek salad combo, and the Chicken tortilla soup. Everything was fresh and tasty. Issues were tables dirty for the entire time we were there… a menu that is not totally clear when upgrading levels, the removal of the fun and yummy pickles, roasted garlic and breadstick bar and fact that one soda machine was turned off for no reason we could see at all … and no one to really ask for anything when needed. They did however help when we approached the counters to get issues fixed so 4 stars is what I landed on. Will go back and do truly like their food…
