Company Information

Our commitment to quality ingredients and customer service begins with every team member. If you’re looking for an exciting career in a passionate environment, you’ve come to the right place. Our success relies on happy guests and happy team members. Exceptional customer service has been our foundation since day one.

Newk’s Eatery was founded in 2004, as \Newk's Express Cafe\ by Don Newcomb, Debra Bryson and Chris Newcomb, the team that founded McAlister’s Deli. Our first store opened in Oxford, Mississippi.
As Chris Newcomb tested and perfected menu items for their new concept, it became apparent this venture would closely reflect the team’s personal passion in the kitchen. As a matter of fact, many of the staple menu items were born from treasured Newcomb family recipes. Thus Newk’s was born – a nickname given to our founder, Chris Newcomb.
