I tried the Shrimp, crawfish and catfish in a gravy and wow it was crispy, flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. I also got the blackened redfish and it was cooked perfectly. But the real surprise? The crawfish étouffée it tasted like something straight out of Louisiana! They gave me free beignets for being their first time customer. The whole vibe is awesome, tons of TVs, cold drinks, and really friendly staff. Tips for Customers: 1. portions are generous, especially the seafood platters. 2. Catch Happy Hour, great deals on drinks and apps. 3. Save room for beignets they're the perfect sweet ending.

Pleasantly surprised when our visit happened to be during late night happy hour. This is a typical sports bar, but their happy hour special sets them ahead of the others. Food was delicious, ordered one of every app on the HH menu. We'll be back!

The bartender Jake is amazing and very friendly. I will be back because of him. He was very good behind the bar for only being there a few weeks.

This review is a little late so my apologies to the crew at Walk-On's. This was during the week of the NHL 4 Nations Tournament and specifically on the day of the USA vs. Canada final. My adult family and I wanted to get together to watch the game but also wanted to be able to hear the audio of the game. After calling a couple of other resturants similar I was able to speak to the manager that night at Walk-On's, Nina. She said that she would be able to make that happen and to come on down and ask for her. When we showed up we asked for Nina who immediately led us to a big dining room with pleanty of big TV's and seating. We grabbed a big booth that easliy fit six adults and were then greeted by our server, Mia. She was a rock star who was very attentive but not overly so and always made sure our glasses were full. It was durning happy hour so I ordered the sliders. I've had these types of sliders from other places before but these were by far the best I've had. They were more like mini smash burgers that I personally make at home. Everyones food came out within a reasonable amount of time and there were no complaints at all. Since it was our first time we even got a free order of the Beignet Bites which were delicious! Even though the US squad lost in OT to the evil Canadians (kidding) it was an awesome game and the whole experience provided by Walk-On's was great. Thanks again Nina and Mia for all of your help.

Great food and service from Jacob, twisted tea on draft is great. Will be back to order that Twisted Tea on draft repeatedly for the forseeable future. I really want to drink a twisted tea right now

Walk-On's is a great New Orleans inspired sports bar! The inside is perfect for catching any game. There are a ton of TVs everywhere no matter if your in the bar area, dining area, or outside on the patio. The bar list is huge! Probably one of the best draft beer selections in the area honestly - so many choices! Food wise is what separates Walk-On's from your typical sports bar. The NOLA inspired dishes are awesome! The food here is delicious. Though, the kitchen does get backed up and can take a while. Overall, really enjoy Walk-On's and will be back again!
