Newk's Eatery, located on Hwy 98 across from Merit Health Hospital, is a lunch favorite for all of Hattiesburg. Newk's is far from your average franchise, and it's way beyond ordinary. With an open kitchen, you can truly see how they handcraft every dressing, toss every salad, and bake every sandwich/pizza to order. Salads ranging from the Newk's Favorite covered in tender chicken, artichoke, cranberries, nuts, and homemade vinaigrette to the “Black and Blue“ Salad filled with pecans, blue cheese crumbles, and marinated steak, they truly offer a salad for any occasion! Daily soups like Chicken Tortilla, loaded potato, and my favorite, the lobster bisque, make the perfect combo for a soup and salad treat!

Their sandwiches and pizzas are no joke either! From your classic ham and Swiss, stacked club, and other delicious bites comes my personal favorite: the Newk's Q. Made with in-house White BBQ sauce, an assortment of melted cheese, marinated chicken, and crispy bacon, the pizza and sandwich game at Newk's is top tier! They have not forgotten the pizza lovers, or the Gluten-free clients; they have you covered! My favorites are the Newk's Q and the spicy shrimp pizza. Even better, all of these items can be called in to go and even catered! There is a reason why Newk's is the hottest lunch spot in Hattiesburg, so don’t miss out; treat yourself to a scrumptious and wholesome lunch that will surely please any appetite!

Forty-one miles of historic railway converted into a beautiful, paved, recreational nature trail begins at the University of Southern Mississippi and goes to Prentiss. Today, the route is again active, as cyclists, inline skaters and pedestrians ply the trail's smooth, well-maintained surface. Eight small covered rest areas along the route provide travelers with shade, restrooms and vending machines, while three small shelters offer places to wait out brief summer rain showers.
