I was out exploring around Ballantyne and decided to stop here for lunch because I heard so many good things about it.
Once in the restaurant, the ordering counter is right inside the door. The menu is clear...sandwiches, pizza and salads. Being new here the guy at the counter gave me a few suggestions. I went with a greek salad with chicken.
Once you get your cup, you proceed to the drink station which is large for any restaurant. There are 2 soda fountains and then about 6 tea dispensers in various forms. Sweet, unsweet and and my favorite sweetened with Splenda (that got the 5th star just for that!).
Someone brought out the salad and it came in a funky shaped red bowl and the salad was HUGE! The salad was fresh and great flavors with romaine, red onions, kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, pepperocinis, and of course chicken. The dressing was light and the salad wasn't drenched in it.
The only thing I didn't like about Newks is that I thought the tables were a little close together. But overall, I think it's fantastic! There needs to be more Newks around Charlotte!
