    This was my first time here, so we ordered a verity of items. Every dish that was ordered was delicious from appetizer cheese fries to the catfish dinner and chicken Alfredo. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about of the menu if your lucky enough to get her, her name is Tristen. And save room for dessert the bread pudding was great!

    I loved the food drinks and atmosphere. The gumbo has duck in it! So yummy. I should have got a bowl vs cup. The grilled salmon was amazing. Fish tacos were charged nice! The fried seafood sampler was great. I got full. Now the Ribeye was very underwhelming! The grilled shrimp was the star of the entire plate! The steak was not good in flavor, texture! The fat to meat consistency was horrible. There was more fat then meat! The Cocktails are great! I can't wait to go back!

    Walked in on a busy night, and was greeted with a warm welcome and seated quickly. Kiley was my server with a smile. ;-)I asked her what her favorite menu item was, which was the grilled cheese with pork, so that let me know the pulled pork was probably delicious. I went ahead with the pulled pork sandwich with waffle fries and a sweet tea. It was spot on, a good meal to eat while watching a boxing match. Everything was quick, and even though I could tell Kiley was busy, she still managed to check on me and if I had any room left, I would have gotten that desert.

    Had the BBQ Pulled Pork. Very good w/waffle fries. It was so stacked ended up taking half home. Nice surroundings, clean, good staff. Reasonable prices. Will go again.

    We’ve been here a few times now. The first time we stopped by for lunch- the food was not impressive. Service was great, though, and the place was super clean.👍🏼 Since then, we’ve discovered they have one of the best buffalo chicken sandwiches I’ve had in a while- which between that and the great service and good atmosphere is why we keep going back. The loaded fries aren’t the best- definitely need more cheese or sauces of some sort. Burgers are good. In our opinion, the pulled pork sandwich should be taken off the menu because it is just mushy, tasteless meat on a bun (again, our opinion). The hush puppies were awesome- definitely worth a try. Drinks always come out great. Some cocktails seem a little pricey. Lots of beer options on draft- love that. (Previously left a 2 or 3 star review, but it’s definitely moved up to a 4 star after a few more visits there).👍🏼

    my first time here was AMAZING, and not just because of the delicious food but the wonderful server i had. If you go here i recommend having Kaylee as your server if possible! She was very kind and time efficient on getting our order to my table.

    I just moved back to Fort Smith permanently. And my daughter n law took me and granddaughters out to dinner. Such a clean place, very friendly staff. And the food was superb. I was very impressed with the restaurant as a whole. I highly recommend Walk-On's Sports Bistro in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Go check them out. Turtle Approved 🐢

    I usually only leave positive reviews, but I felt really let down after today's lunch. I probably wouldn't have been so disappointed if I hadn't heard such good things about this place. Unfortunately, my experience was anything but good. I was seated right away, but that is where things took a turn. I sat at my table for at least 10 minutes wondering when my server was going to come around to take my drink order. Soon, another group was seated at the table beside me. After about 5 more minutes, their server came around to take their drink orders. As she was walking away, I flagged her down (yes, I hate to be that guy), to ask if she was my server as well. She informed me that she was not, but she did let mine know that I was waiting. I had a Jalapeno Jack burger and onion rings. The food was good. I have no complaints there. I ate my burger and finished my drink. I was never approached by my server about refilling my empty glass, more napkins, or anything else for that matter. However, as I was cashing out, she was kind enough to ask if I wanted a drink to go. The food was decent, but something needs to be done about the service, if this is a normal thing. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

    We really enjoyed dinner here today. I had the “Fried Catfish Atchafalaya” (fried catfish fillet with fried crawfish tails in etouffee sauce over rice). The catfish was moist and really tasty and the fried crawfish was fantastic. The etouffee sauce was not like in Louisiana, but it was still good. The rice was a little under cooked, however I did enjoy everything else. My husband had the “Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos”. He said the shrimp was breaded and crispy with a flavorful zesty sauce over shredded cabbage on a tortilla. It came with a side of chips which he said were fresh and crunchy and the queso had small chunks of peppers that provided a mild spice to it. The restaurant was clean with TVs everywhere and our male waiter was friendly and gave us grade “A” service. We have been to the Walk-Ons in Florida and so far they do not disappoint. We went around 5pm on a Tuesday and had no problems parking or getting a table. We will most certainly be back to eat at Walk-Ons!

    It was my first time eating there today, but definitely won't be my last! Excellent hamburger, I HIGHLY recommend the jalapeño jack burger! Excellent service, with lots of screens to watch a variety of games going on! Enjoyed it greatly!

    Stopped in while traveling from Texas with my family for vacation and it was an amazing experience! Our waitress Mary was very helpful and fun during our visit! Our drinks never went empty and our food came out hot! Will definitely stop in again during our next travels!

    Lynsey is the best bartender/server hands down. She goes out of her way to get you the brewski/food that you need. The only complain I have is she didn’t want to wear the 49ers beanie which caused the team to miss a game winning field goal due to bad luck. :(

    Ashley was our server… or maybe more like our food coach…😂. She did an amazing job and was very down to earth!! We will be back!

  • 5/5 Angela H. 5 months ago on Google

    I had Natalee as a server, she was wonderful. Very great with people, made sure we had full drinks at all times, and overall just gave us great experience. The food was all delicious, I highly recommend the Lemon Butter Chicken

  • 5/5 Mark M. 7 months ago on Google
    Ashley was an amazing server. Reminds me of how great service used to be before it became so hard to get people to work in restaurants. She did everything in her power to make the experience remarkable. I have never given a 30% tip in my life until today.

  • 5/5 Jenna R. 5 months ago on Google
    We always enjoy our time at Walk-Ons! Great food, fun atmosphere and excellent service. Ashley was our server this visit and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Quick and friendly service that went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

    The food was extremely bland. I was expecting good Cajun food and it was like they completely forgot to put any seasoning on the food. The atmosphere was good , the service was not good from the wait staff either unfortunately. This was our first experience and we extremely excited to try this place as we always see the place packed. Our nickname for the place is now walk away .

    Our server, Violet, was delightful. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, efficient, attentive, and fun! She gets a five star from us, and the Tuscan chicken is fabulous. We substitute broccoli for the green beans only because broccoli is a fav! In case you are wondering, the beer is beyond cold!! We eat here as often as we are in town!!

    My husband and I just left. We were passing through on our way back home to Hot Springs and decided to get some food here. We were both very impressed with the atmosphere from the start. We sat near the bar and Chloe was our server and bartender. She was AWESOME. Super friendly, extremely helpful, and very attentive. She recommended several items from their menu since this was our first time coming in. Per her recommendation, we got the Spinach dip for an appetizer and it was hands down THE BEST spinach dip I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, my husband got a majority of it 😩. Chloe also recommended our entrees. I got the Blackened Chicken Alfredo and my husband got the Tuscan Chicken. My food was terrific but his Tuscan Chicken was PHENOMENAL. I wish I would’ve thought to take pictures but, it slipped my mind. The assistant manager stopped in to check on us and was very friendly. She gave us a free bread pudding card for our first visit. Thank you so much! They were incredible and my husband said it was the best he ever had. Thank you all for a great lunch experience. We plan to stop by next time we are in the area! 😊

    Was a wonderful dining experience! Food was hot and delicious. The whole building you could just feel it was a good environment. And our server was amazing, Kaylee was quick on her feet and really seemed to know what she was doing. Overall very worth giving a try

  • 5/5 Rick H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent and fast service and the food was scrumptious. Server was on top of drinks and food was served fast and hot. Kelly and Halley were so friendly and professional. We need more like them.

    Love the spooky season Voodoo Shrimp and BLOODY Mary! This place is awesome, good food & drinks, great service and lots of TVs. Pro Tip: Ask them how to get FREE bread pudding.

  • 5/5 Bridget W. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first visit to the fort smith location. The food was fantastic and our waitress Gabby was attentive and answered all of our menu questions. Would definitely go back again.

  • 5/5 Laura Lee P. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here but won’t be last, mainly due to our server, Ashley! We’ve been to other locations but this one was our favorite! I thought about just getting water with my salad but Ashley let us know about the drink specials of the day so we chose the Bloody Mary. It was awesome! Ashley was friendly, informative and made us want to come back for our very next meal! Great salad choices and food was delicious.

  • 5/5 Briauna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Tim and Joe have done it again! I wanted to have two of my favorite dishes, but together! I ordered the Avery Island salad, but with blackened salmon instead of the jumbo shrimp! It was simply amazing! It may actually be my new favorite!(:

    Thinking sports bar showing up which is correct with the look. Friendly staff I've always hated how some companies use women to their benefit by dressing them in shorts that barely cover anything... I get the menu all Cajun Louisiana type menu. Confused me because I see no Cajun in the restaurant at all. Now what I got was good Pickles, quesadilla, etc sweet tea tasted like fake sugar which is yuck in my book. Watching the bartender mix drinks made me cringe.... I was counting her pours and I knew which drinks she made... And over iced over poured.. but if she wasn't trained that's on the owner and manager. I asked the people who got it how they liked it and yeah... Watered down. But the experience was sports but the food wasn't. But thus i give it 4 stars I love the Cajun Louisiana style food I just don't think it fits a sports bar location I think decoration wise needs to be Louisiana or Summers down south and not Arkansas or at least not the northern half of Arkansas. But yes the food was freaking delicious.
