What's the big deal about Newk's Eatery?

Went looking for a new spot for lunch today, ran across Newk's and decided to drop in. Service was really fast and the food was ok. But holy shite, the place was packed. I didn't think there was anything special about my sandwich, why does this place get so much love? The restaurant was full and they had at least 20 people waiting to order.

The scenery was pretty good, now that you mention it.
Still not anything out of the ordinary. The sandwich was ok, not great. Nothing special about it. It's probably on par with subway.

Italian and Newks q are good. I liked the bacon pimento Mac n cheese. I agree, it's not a place I'll go out of my way to dine at or frequent multiple times a week, but i enjoyed my 2 meals there. Online ordering is also a plus.

its certainly better than Subway...
I like their Italian. But you're right, people go nuts for the place. If its new, it will eventually die down.

So the one at the old gattis opened? I might go for dinner tonight. I've only been to the one in auburn and had a sandwich. I want to try a pizza.

Just stop. Subway isn't too far removed from prison food.

I know it sounds like a troll. However, my steak sandwich wasn't any better than something Subway would have put out. The building is nicer, but my meal wasn't anything special. Maybe a pizza or the mac and cheese is fantastic, can't speak to that.

I'm not trying to fit in anything. I'm saying the steak sandwich from Newk's was on the same level as a Steak sandwich from Subway. That's an honest opinion. Maybe they have other items that are better, but the sandwich was just ok.

Agreed. Ate in Jackson several years ago and very underwhelming

The scenery is very nice, especially close to campus

Chicks love those 1,500 calorie salads. The one here on 280 in Bham is packed every day for lunch. I don't even try to go there.
