Newk's Eatery - Murfreesboro

Her tomato soup was delicious and I had her grilled Cheddar cheese sandwich I could fall in the soup. Restaurant was super clean.

Trip to Murfreesboro today... Good trip except it will probably be my last trip to Newk's at the Avenue. Food was great. Kids first time, they loved it. Sweet tea urns were both on the verge of soured. I told one of the young ladies working. Oh, no! I'll tell my manager. She comes back with another young lady who tastes the tea. They give me sideways dirty looks, pour them together, leave it out to serve, and brew a fresh batch (in the dirty urn). Never came and said a word to me or my table during or after. Come on, guys, train your people with some customer service oriented training! No shade thrown due to age, the whole staff was younger (just a description), which I know is the reality of food service since that's what I've done for 20+ years!

Update Is it just me or is the food quality declining? Seems like the portions are getting smaller and the prices are getting higher and the quality is not what it used to be. Hopefully a fluke. I have been here a handful of times over the last 2 years. It's always been clean. The staff has always been friendly and the food good. Good place to grab a sandwich salad and the lobster bisque is pretty darn good. I would say it's a good place for a light business meeting for a group of 2 4 people.

My wife and I both ordered a drink. Cashier didn't ring up our drinks. When we asked for our cups, she said we didn't order drinks. We told her that we had both ordered a drink, so she ran up two drinks and we paid again. The food seems to have gotten smaller and more expensive. We used to love this place, but between bad service and declining value, we may not be going back.

Ordered pizza and salad for pickup. Pizza box had greasy macaroni stuck on the bottom which transferred to my hand. Then while eating the salad noticed a chunk of dirt, yes real dirt, in the salad. Disappointed. Last time I leave a tip for pick up.
