About Us
Newt’s is the only place for Great Burgers and Cold Beer. Come see why this 80 seat restaurant serves up well over 2 tons of hamburger a month. We use all pure beef, ground just for us and to our specifications, fresh, of course. Hand pattied big and thick to retain the juices. Kaiser buns, baked fresh daily and to our specifications, buttered, and grilled. And burgers grilled to order, to your taste.
