A Fresh Take on Fast Casual
HOMETOWN PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
When Mike and Daphne Cox, Mark and Jennifer Townsend, and Sam and Val Markezich brought Newk's Eatery to Texarkana, they weren't just opening a restaurant. They were investing in a community they call home.
Newk's Eatery has built a loyal following in the Twin Cities for its made-to-order menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas, all crafted with fresh, quality ingredients. The concept is simple but executed well: real food, made fresh, served fast. Whether you are grabbing a quick lunch between meetings or sitting down for a relaxed meal with the family, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood staple from the moment you walk through the door.
As local owners, they bring a personal touch to everything they do. Their commitment to the Texarkana community goes beyond the menu, showing up in the familiar faces behind the counter, the care put into each order, and the pride that comes with running a business right here at home. General Manager Jonathan Coleson reflects the same spirit, building genuine rapport with the community that makes every guest feel like a regular. For these local owners, this is not just a franchise location. It reflects who they are and what they believe a great dining experience should look like.
The menu offers something for everyone. From the signature Newk's Q sandwich piled high with smoked turkey, ham, and bacon to a steaming bowl of their beloved tomato basil soup, every item is designed to satisfy. Fresh salads are generous and thoughtfully topped, and the hand-tossed pizzas have earned a dedicated fan base. Vegetarian options are also available, making it easy for the whole group to find something they love. It is the kind of food that earns regulars and keeps them coming back week after week.
When the weather is right, the outdoor patio is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends, family, or coworkers. It is a relaxed, comfortable space that adds to the overall experience and gives guests one more reason to linger a little longer. And when you need to feed a crowd, Newk's catering service makes it easy to bring that same fresh, quality food to your next office lunch, special event, or gathering. Whether it is a business meeting or a backyard celebration, the Newk's catering menu delivers.
Whether you are a longtime fan or trying Newk's for the first time, the Cox, Townsend, and Markezich families welcome you to stop in, sit down, and stay a while. Good food and good people are always on the menu at Newk's Eatery in Texarkana.
