We ordered for doordash delivery. we got shorted coleslaw. one entire order of fish, no fries, no onion rings. paid 150.00. received ZERO compensation for missing items. They said they forgot the items missing. Never ordering from them again. That is a terrible way to run business. ZERO MONEY RETURNED. APPALLED AT THIS.

My husband is a burger maniac he couldn't even choke it down. He said it was the worst burger he's ever eaten. My fish n chips came out burnt to a crisp, I sent it back. Came back still burnt. Old oil yuck! We won't be returning.

Our plans for a late dinner and beers fell apart. One of our group called and asked if Newt's (South) could accommodate a group of our size that late on a Tuesday. We arrived to a waiting table with waters & popcorn. Our server, Layne, was quick taking our drink and food orders. The food was amazing, hot, and fast. Thank you for saving our "afters" tonight. We will be back!
