This Newk’s location has reimagined its dining area giving customers more space. The food was prepared just right. Service was friendly and caring. We will be back!

I ordered the Steak Q for the first time and it is so good! Steak is tender and not dry and it has carmelized onions and their white bbq sauce which I could drink alone. I ordered curbside pickup and the sweet server was coming out before I could get my car in ‘park’. She was really polite! We’ve eaten Newk’s for years, and they are less than a mile from us, so great food plus convenience!

Place is always clean and they greet you with a smile and are so very polite! Food is always good and presentable soups are delicious I give them a 10/10 and I’m a chef so I’m a critic lol! Newk’s is awesome and the food is as well!

Alyssa was so very nice too my wife and I. My wife had a broken leg and she was very accommodating in getting us seated and our food order. She made sure were we were comfortable and as usual the food was great. Alyssa is young and I unfortunately I don’t see that in a lot of young folks…. Kudos to Alyssa

Place was clean, workers were polite and the pizza was hot and tasty. But I would like more topping added. It was a little skimpy so I paid for extra! Increasing the value of your

My husband and I are from Springfield and we miss nukes tremendously. A few months ago I noticed there was a Newks in Hot Springs so I made a note next time we go we have to eat at Newks. We have a little cabin on the river. We drove in to Hot Springs yesterday specifically to get water and Mewls salads. My gosh, how much we miss nukes! Staff was friendly and helpful. The salads were outstanding. My husband loves the Black and BLEU, I got the Newk’s Favorite add shrimp. We devoured them. Everything was fresh, crisp, flavorful, and spot on. The red velvet cake and the chocolate cake cakes were scrumptious. One thing I have to say is I miss the pickle bar!

Consistently top notch every time we go. We visit at least twice/month. Our kids love their cheese pizza! Newks is one of the few restaurants that supports families in these hard economic times. They offer .99 kids meals for each adult entree after 4p.
