Newk's was a reminder of why I should do my due diligence on Yelp even when I am in a hurry. I had it confused with Mert's and by the time I glanced at the menu and discovered my error I was already inside and in the line of sight of the cashier.
I opted for the Shrimp Po' Boy which came in at a touch over $10 without a drink. It wasn't bad, per say, certainly the shrimp were good and the bread was enjoyable, but I must say the fact that my little sea friends weren't breaded or fried was a bit of a let down. The sandwich was red onion-heavy and relied a lot on the sauces that went with, one remoulade and one cocktail sauce. My sandwich came with a side so I opted for "fresh fruit" and was given fruit salad which, while technically correct, was a bit of a surprise.
Newk's should probably actually be given a 2.5 star rating since nothing was actually bad, it just didn't quite make par. Next time I'll check to make sure I'm going where I mean to go, but you don't get extra stars for teaching me a lesson.
