Hear from our valued guests
OH MY! I absolutely enjoyed the food and customer service here! Thee best Greek Salad I've ever tasted! Loved the Veggie pizza & mac n cheese( no bacon) & chocolate cake 4 dessert was scrumptious. Definitely worth the money.
First time here. Service was excellent, the Mac and Cheese was phenomenal!!!!! Loved it. Great price points too. Worth stopping by again when I’m back in “T-Town”. RTR.
Fresh and delicious food every single time! Topnotch service in a clean and friendly atmosphere!
All was good here. Sandwich’s, soup, potato salad all were enjoyed. Service was quick.
My family loves this place. Sandwiches, soups, and pizzas are great. I like the Newk's Q, the club, and the potato soup. I tried the new Blu Hawaiian pizza and it's my new favorite.
It has been a while since I have eaten here. I ordered pizza, and it was made to order. The ingredients were even and ample. Looks like they have done some sprucing up on the inside of the restaurant. It was a pleasant temperature and my tea was freshly brewed. I will be back!
Best salad in town!! No one is competing with their salads, it is not even close. The flavors and variety they offer is unmatched. I will say I got the salad/soup combo and the lobster bisque was not my favorite. It wasn't very hot and it did not have the best seasonings. It was sweet which was not my favorite however the salad made up for it. The service is super fast. They can handle a lot of volume and are in their element even with busy/large crowds. Staff was super attentive and the atmosphere was really up beat. We sat on the patio and it was a great spot for lunch. Will be back for amazing salads!!
I can’t really confirm the atmosphere since I ordered through DoorDash, but I will say that the food was delicious. I did a pick 2 half sandwich half salad. I got a Caesar salad that was great with loaded potato soup. They delivered to my hotel within 35 minutes, my soup was still hot and separated from the salad. There’s nothing worse than having your salad warm because they packed it all together. That was not the case here. I also got a toasted piece of French bread. It was perfect after a long day.
The food is quite good, and the service has been consistently excellent. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting, which enhances the overall experience. It's definitely a place worth visiting if you're looking for quality food and a comfortable environment.
Ate here while visiting family. Brother in law had mac and cheese. Son and I split a supreme pizza. Wife had a salad. Been long time between when we were there vs this post. I remember the pizza was very good. The kalamata olives really made the difference. Great tasting. Crust was just crispy enough and it was normal. Don't like thin crust. Apparently it's a favorite of the in laws and I remember thinking I agreed. Atmosphere was cool. Great music in background. I'd go there again when we visit. I had some nice video to capture the atmosphere but having trouble attaching it.
