Overview

Newk’s Eatery in Smyrna, GA, offers a welcoming spot for anyone craving thoughtfully prepared, flavorful meals in a clean, comfortable environment. Situated conveniently at 1405 Spring Rd SE, this restaurant balances casual dining with a touch of sophistication, making it ideal for families, professionals, and casual lunch-goers alike.

The menu leans into fresh, crafted comfort food with highlights that include the signature Newk’s Q Sandwich—a satisfying blend of chicken, crispy bacon, and a distinct white BBQ sauce nestled in a slightly crunchy hoagie roll. It’s a crowd-pleaser that speaks to both quality and flavor, mirroring its inviting menu photo. For those seeking something heartier, the Five Cheese Mac & Cheese stands out; its rich Asiago, Vermont white cheddar, Parmesan, and Ammerländer Swiss cheeses meld into perfectly cooked elbow pasta, crowned with a sharp cheddar topping. This dish also comes in clever pairing options, complementing soups or salads for a balanced meal.

Salads like the Salmon Caesar, boasting fresh romaine, parmesan, and perfectly grilled salmon, and the Black & Bleu with sirloin steak and Bleu cheese, offer a fresh counterpoint to the heartier mains. Soups—especially the potato and lobster & crab bisques—are frequently praised for their depth and comforting warmth, ideal to accompany a sandwich or a lighter salad.

Newk’s Eatery’s space is equally appealing. The clean, eclectic seating combines booths, tables, and bar-style cushioned seats, crafting a versatile atmosphere suitable for quick lunches or relaxed dinners. The staff’s attentiveness and friendly demeanor enhance the dining experience, reflecting in positive customer feedback about service and food presentation. Ample parking adds to the convenience factor, making visits hassle-free.

Sweet endings are not overlooked, with desserts like red velvet cake, chocolate cake, and caramel cake rounding out a well-curated menu that balances indulgence and freshness. The presence of family meal deals, such as the two-pizza combo with a classic salad, underscores the brand’s appeal to group dining and shared occasions.

Whether you're dropping in for a warm bowl of soup paired with half a salad, indulging in the signature sandwiches, or savoring one of the many hand-crafted salads, Newk's Eatery delivers quality and care in every bite. Its clean setting, friendly staff, and thoughtfully designed menu make it a standout in Smyrna’s dining scene, inviting repeat visits and rewarding loyalty.

Came in to use my points and have a little lunch. I ordered a cup of lobster & crab bisque and a half chili Mac & cheese . Ordering was very easy. The food came in a reasonable time and was all very hot (warm). Both items were delicious and plentiful. Service was great.

I had never been to a Newk’s and I was driving by this Smyrna location and decided to have some lunch, and I’m glad I did! When you walk in it is clean, kind of eclectic seating with tables and booths and some seats on a bar with cushions so you have a nice selection of seating options. Since I hadn’t eaten here before I spoke with the cashier, very pleasant and helpful fellow. He recommended the Newk’s Q sandwich, which is chicken, bacon and some kind of white BBQ sauce on a slightly crunchy hoagie roll, it was exactly the sandwich I was hoping it would be. Look exactly like the menu picture. I had a side of fruit which was pineapple, melon, and grapes, all pretty fresh. I followed it up with a slice of chocolate cake. Overall great experience. Ample parking and great location.

The salad called Newks Favorite is very good. Lots of flavor. Their "Q" Sandwich is very good as well. Also, the potato soup is a must to try!

Restaurant is always clean including bathrooms. Great customer service from employees by acknowledging customers. This is a good location. I picked up my birthday reward. I eat here dine in and take out at least quarterly. The caramel cake is good. We also like the brownies, chocolate cake and strawberry cake.

Service was awesome. I got the Shrimp and Avocado salad, which was good. However, the dressing served with it was very acidic, almost pure lime juice- as if it were not shaken or mixed properly. At that point it was too late as I had added it to my salad. I advise check to see if it is to your liking first.

I travelled across multiple cities to revisit this location. The one in Smyrna is better than the other locations in option. I used to come more when I lived in the area and the food still tastes the same! Never disappoints. It was fresh and prepared correctly. 10/10 would recommend. Even the gentleman that was there today was helpful when I came in to pick up my order.
