Newk's Eatery — Restaurant in Clinton

AN HONEST, DESCRIPTIVE REVIEW:

• I choose to be more descriptive in my reviews in correlation to how good the food and experience is! So here goes...* It's been a while since I've had the chance to dine at a NEWK'S EATERY. My son/college student, who happens to eat a very healthy, vegetable and meat based diet, chose NEWK'S for our lunch visit. The location is convenient with decent parking available. Literally, I forgot just how GOOD NEWK'S EATERY is! The menu selection includes a variety of salads, wraps, soups, pizzas, side items, desserts, and a kids menu. I enjoyed the GREEK salad with salmon added. My son enjoyed the GREEN GODDESS salad with turkey added. Our salads were very good, included delicious salad dressings, and we both agreed we would order the same food again. NEWK'S honestly continues to offer delicious, affordable, really, really GREAT food. The staff were friendly, attentive and presentable. We arrived about one o'clock towards the end of the usual lunch time. The establishment was clean & well stocked with condiments, napkins, cutlery and their signature, thin bread sticks all offered as self serve items. At that one o'clock time of day, adequate, comfortable seating was available and the restaurant was approximately one-thirds' full. My bill was under $35, which included our two salads, drinks, and a chocolate chip cookie (how could I pass that up!?); my son, however, declined to order dessert, for which I still do not understand. Finally, NEWK'S gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, and I can't wait to...

The restaurant in Clinton is owned by the franchise and that is the problem with this location, maybe if it were owned by the corporation they could get this place straightened out. Only 4 people eating in here tonight and they lost the ticket of the party seated behind me, the lady walks up to the front to check on her order which was prepared and just sitting there getting cold and the employee made the rude remark “ there are other places you can go”. I didn’t like her attitude toward this customer at all. If I could talk to the Newcombs personally I would. The reputation of this franchise owned location hurts the reputation of all Newks whether franchise or corporate. You have some interesting characters working this location. Tell them to get the chip off their shoulders, get rid of the attitude and speak and look more professional. To the Newcomb family, McAllister’s across the highway is a complete failure, failed several inspections. I know you sold them off but Newks is going down the same path too. I will not be back to this nasty place. Corporate better take control! You don’t...

Good food but our latest experience wasn’t too good. My dad ordered a pepperoni pizza which he has ordered many times before. When it came out it had tomatoes on top, as it apparently says it comes on the menu. He asked the waitress to take it back because he didn’t want tomatoes and she proceeds to have an attitude and argue with him back and forth. Instead of simply informing him of what the menu says and assuring him she’ll fix the pizza to his liking, she was determined to have the last word and be very rude. She told him if he didn’t want tomatoes he should’ve told them when he ordered, even though he clearly didn’t know the pizza came with tomatoes.. I could understand if my dad was chewing her out over it but her reaction was totally unprovoked and unnecessary. We informed the manager but it didn’t seem like anything was done about it, being that the employees were laughing and carrying on in the back. I suppose you might have a good experience here as long as you read the menu carefully and don’t get waited on by the same waitress we did.
