It looks like Lafayette has lost another popular foodie spot. The Newk’s Eatery located at 4243 Ambassador Caffery Parkway, Suite 110, has suddenly closed, and based on what we’re seeing, it doesn’t appear to be a temporary situation.
Lockbox on the door raises questions
A lockbox has appeared on the door of the restaurant, and repeated calls during normal business hours have gone unanswered. Messages to the company’s Facebook page and email have also received no reply.
The sudden closure and subsequent silence have left many Lafayette diners a bit confused, especially since the restaurant seemed to be operating normally just days ago.
Social media reactions pour in
As word spread online, Lafayette residents quickly took to social media to share their shock and sadness.
Well another restaurant down – NEWKS IS CLOSED.
