3.5 Newk's is great. The food and service are consistently good and the restaurant is very kid friendly. That's definitely what keeps us going back for more. I love the Grissini breadsticks and the roasted garlic they offer. My favorite is the Ultimate Salad. It's really good and really addicting. My mom has had the Newk's salad and she loves it. It would be nice if their kids menu offered grilled chicken or steamed veggies. This is a great place to go when we want something easy and stress free with the kiddo.
