text: I have been to a few Newk's cafe's locations so I know what to expect going here for lunch.  Because this location is near my office, I have patronized this Uptown site numerous times.  To me, Newk's Uptown feels like a smaller space than the other sites I have been to.  Nothing like the Newk's I visited in Springfield, MS (probably the best laid out one that I have ever been to) but similar to the one in Greensboro, NC.\n\nAtmosphere - Located in a former restaurant/ night club (same three or so steps to go up from the main entrance) the feel here is busy, noisy, more tables than booths, informal, messy (always feels like you just arrived after a lunch rush), fast casual order and delivery process.\n\nFood - Lots of choices that include sandwiches (toasted), salads, soups and pizza.  I usually get the chicken speciality sandwich, with ice tea and fruit.  This sandwich comes with grilled chicken applewood smoked bacon, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, olive oil, mayo and Honey Mustard on a decent in texture baguette.  I get this when I want to eat healthy by dropping the swiss cheese, mayo and honey mustard.  \n\nWhen I want to eat something that has a lot of flavor, I get the Italian.  It has capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, mayo, spicy creole mustard, lettuce, tomato, yellow onions, hot cherry peppers and Italian sauce.  While I do drop the mayo...just don't like it...this sandwich is still a  calorie and flavor indulgence.  \n\nService - It is good for a place that takes your order, gives you a number, a cup, a tray, and then makes you wait for the food to arrive.  On my several visits here everyone has been friendly (even when there is a mistake) and the place is always jammed.\n\nOverall - An okay, option for lunch in Uptown.  With drink you are over $10, which some have deemed pricy.  But when you think about about it, a Chick-fil-a combo is only a buck or two below that price and they don't bring it to your table.  \n\nTips:  \n* Reinforce any special order requests as the staff has gotten it wrong in the past.\n* During lunch, grab a table ASAP after ordering as they can vanish quickly!
