    Looks like your average sports bar on the outside, but the menu is so much better. Sadly they were out of gator as we were gonna try the gator tacos. Instead we had the chicken avocado club with sweet potato fries. It was delicious!

    Nice sports bar with good cajun food. Very loud though. The fried gator tail was good with big meaty chunks of gator. The crawfish sauce with pasta was delicious with plenty of pieces of crawfish. The gumbo was ok, nothing amazing. Hush puppies are sweet and taste like they were made with Jiffy mix. Fried fish, shrimp, and crawfish were all delicious. The beignets are amazing!

    My husband and I had a late lunch here for the first time yesterday and it was amazing. He had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and I had the Grilled chicken with bacon and avocado sandwich (which was so big i had to eat it with a knife and fork!). Our server, Jennifer, was very attentive and even suggested that we wait a few minutes to order our appetizers since they would then be 1/2 price. We took them (the boneless wings and 1/2 of our sandwiches to go). Awesome food, amazing service!

    Based on their name, I would never think about going in. Our neighbors had tried it and recommended it so we went with them. WOW, what a treat! They have fantastic appetizers, all with a hint of Louisiana flavor- delicious. Hint if you get there during happy hour (weekdays 3PM to 6PM) apps are half price. Take a look at the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich that I had (half went home).

    This was our first time here. We had 3 different appetizers and my husband had a sandwich. The service was friendly and attentive. Everything came out quick and was fresh and tasty. This is good for a quick bite or to enjoy a night out with friends.

    The food at Walk-On’s is always good and this time was no exception. It’s always great food and a great atmosphere. It is pretty loud in here so definitely not the place to go for chit chat.

    Tried the buffalo chicken wrap tonight. My wife loved it!!! I thought the cheese was a little too sharp. But my wife loved the sharpness of the cheese. It was loaded with chicken and cheese and had a good amount of buffalo sauce and some tomatoes. We also ordered a half ribeye steak sandwich which was really good. This place is expensive but we have always felt the food has always been good. We will definitely be back to try something new. We went back and I finally tried the voodoo shrimp and grits. It was really good. My buddy got the redfish with lemon butter sauce, that will be what I get next time. The boom boom shrimp appetizer was awesome!!! And washed it down with a margarita!!!

    We absolutely LOVE this place and the staff! My son asked a manager about what kind of sauces they had for his chicken and she sat down with him to have a full on conversation about his options! What more can you ask for than this amazing kind of service? Oh yeah... the amazing food!

    My family and I frequent this location at least on a monthly basis. This past Sunday (yesterday) we went for dinner and ordered fried gator as an appetizer. Never had an issue until this go around. The gator was undercooked and asked to speak to the manager. The server came back 20 minutes later saying, “sorry, I forgot. I just spoke to the manager and they said we can make you an order to go, but that’s all we can do…” I’m not sure why anyone would want something fried to go since it would taste gross reheated, but the manager did not have the decency to even greet the table or acknowledge the mistake. I have toddlers that could have gotten sick and they did not care. Will have to check out Millers across the street more often as this left a sour taste in my mouth…

    My bf ordered the Crawfish Etouffee and it was good, the gator bites pretty good, they paired it with a mustard dipping sauce that goes perfectly with the gator bites and I haven’t seen it in any other place. A friend ordered the Bayou Pasta. He said it was bland and it was dried. I was exited to try this place because my bf recommend it but I guess it wasn’t a good night. I ordered the ribeye and I only had two bites because it tasted as it had been in the freezer for about 6 months…like I said not a good night. The hot skinny margarita was pretty good! Last but not least: I think this place it’s overpriced.

    Sports bar extreme plus Restaurant for the sports fan. Tv's everywhere in every direction with a game on and a screen at every booth. I was even able to request a specific game to be shown on the screen at my booth. The server was on it she read the room and asked if she wasn't sure, but she didn't rush or harass for orders, knowing we came in to watch a football game. The food all came out with excellent presentations. She was spot on with the refills. The boudin balls were a bit spicy for me the lemony mustard sauce that came with it dialed it down to tolerable for me. My friend was fine with the spicy level. I ordered the grown up grilled cheese. It was 3 types of cheese with bacon and a side of marinara. It was tasty. My friend had buffalo shrimp tacos. Nothing wrong with them but nothing fabulous about it either. It was a nice place to go eat and watch a game.

    Food was outstanding. Presentation and flavors were right on the mark. The Adult Grilled Cheese and Cheeseburger were enough to make us want to return. Unfortunately the service missed the mark. Our server was attending to so many tables we had to wait an extraordinarily long time to get our check. Couldn’t request extra napkins because we rarely saw her. We did flag down others that jumped in and helped!!!

    The bowl of red beans and rice was really good! The Po Boy shrimp was good. I opted for sweet potato fries as my side. We went for lunch and our party was seated right away. We ate and was in and out within an hour. Great server and hostess! The restaurant was very clean inside and out including the restroom.

    We went to walk one last night arriving around 9:30. We asked to be seated outside because it was quieter than the inside. In the beginning things were fine. The crafted drinks were kind of cool, the starter was delicious. But the waiter wasn’t very helpful at all. He was nice but I ordered a Diet Coke when we were first seated and my entire almost 2 hour visit my drink wasn’t refilled once. I ordered a craft drink the strawberry lemonade I think and after waiting 15 minutes for my drink I had to remind him to make it. My boyfriend also added mash potatoes to his order and they never came out with his meal. We had to remind the waiter about the mashed potatoes after he was already done with his plate so he wouldn’t charges us for something he didn’t get to eat. It just wasn’t a good experience for the price we paid which was $96 before a tip. We will not be returning.

    First time here and everything was delicious. We had the Bloody Mary, Death Valley, High West Smash and Raspberry Lemonade for cocktails. No complaints there. Tuna Tini, Boom boom shrimp, & fried pickles for apps (fried pickles I wouldn’t order again) the others were great. Mango Mahi was delicious as well as the Louisiana street corn!

👍👍 The atmosphere is awesome. High energy and plenty of visual items to take in. What's even better is the food. The "Estate" burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My Everything came very fast and hot. Well timed by the team!! My son especially loved the onion rings. Be carefull though,...
