text: I have been to a few Newks cafes locations so I know what to expect going here for lunch Because this location is near my office I have patronized this Uptown site numerous times To me Newks Uptown feels like a smaller space than the other sites I have been to Nothing like the Newks I visited in Springfield MS probably the best laid out one that I have ever been to but similar to the one in Greensboro NCnnAtmosphere Located in a former restaurant night club same three or so steps to go up from the main entrance the feel here is busy noisy more tables than booths informal messy always feels like you just arrived after a lunch rush fast casual order and delivery processnnFood Lots of choices that include sandwiches toasted salads soups and pizza I usually get the chicken speciality sandwich with ice tea and fruit This sandwich comes with grilled chicken applewood smoked bacon swiss cheese lettuce tomato olive oil mayo and Honey Mustard on a decent in texture baguette I get this when I want to eat healthy by dropping the swiss cheese mayo and honey mustard nnWhen I want to eat something that has a lot of flavor I get the Italian It has capicola mortadella pepperoni salami provolone cheese mayo spicy creole mustard lettuce tomato yellow onions hot cherry peppers and Italian sauce While I do drop the mayojust do not like itthis sandwich is still a calorie and flavor indulgence nnService It is good for a place that takes your order gives you a number a cup a tray and then makes you wait for the food to arrive On my several visits here everyone has been friendly even when there is a mistake and the place is always jammednnOverall An okay option for lunch in Uptown With drink you are over which some have deemed pricy But when you think about about it a Chickfila combo is only a buck or two below that price and they do not bring it to your table nnTips n Reinforce any special order requests as the staff has gotten it wrong in the pastn During lunch grab a table AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after ordering as they can vanish quickly
