Tasty sammies in Uptown?! Sure, I'll bite!
Even though I don't work Uptown, the bank haven was sorely missing a quick and quality lunch spot. Enter Newk's. Well positioned on Tryon, Newk's offers a smattering of fresh salads, sandwiches and the like. Plus, they're open pretty late!
I had the half & half combo - roasted turkey sandwich and chicken & dumpling soup. The freshness was there, the french bread holding my sandwich had a nice toasty crunch and the soup was hearty. So, yeah, it was good, not incredible, amazing, can't get enough. Plus, it was a wee bit on the pricey side - close to $10 for my meal & beverage.
Nevertheless, for friendly staff and a quick & filling meal amongst many a steak house and pricey restaurant, Newk's is a solid choice Uptown!
