I always love hanging out at Walk-On’s whether it’s for a work lunch or to catch an evening game, but last night was probably the best experience yet thanks to our server, Aspen! Aspen is the absolute sweetest & has the BEST personality! Not only was she an EXCELLENT server, but she was fun to hang out with too! Just wanted to brag on her this morning. You’ve got a good one with her! Thanks for everything, Aspen! We’ll be back to sit in your section!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux for the first time, and I can confidently say the entire experience was exceptional, truly a 10 out of 10. From the moment I arrived, the service stood out. Our waiter was not only attentive but also knowledgeable and welcoming, which set a positive tone for the evening. The food exceeded expectations, both in quality and flavor. One highlight was the alligator bites crispy, well-seasoned, and surprisingly delicious for a first-time try. The menu offers a variety of enticing options, and I’m already looking forward to returning to explore more of what they have to offer. Walk-On’s delivers a winning combination of excellent service, great atmosphere, and flavorful dishes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a lively setting.

I dined for lunch at the walkons of tuscaloosa today. The host, Palmer, kindly greeted us with open arms and made sure our preferences were in mind. Josie was our host and did an amazing job taking care of us and making sure our dining experience was great! The seafood was the best in town. It was fresh and perfectly cooked. I will definitely be back to visit soon!

Third visit to Walk-on’s. I have to say, I didn’t love the first two visits and didn’t come back for several years. My son wanted to come here and I agreed, deciding I would try something different. And I’m glad we did!! Third time was the charm!! (Could also be that it has been a couple of years since the first two visits - maybe something changed??) Anyway, we all 4 had different meals and we all 4 loved what we ordered! Yay! Our table had cajundillas, fried fish platter, Buffalo chicken sandwich, and a buffalo chicken wrap. I will say that they were heavy on the Buffalo sauce on the wrap - to the point it ran down my hands - and next time I’ll ask for less sauce, but it was still very delicious - just messy! This visit gets them a 5 star rating!

Update: I have since returned several times since my undercooked chicken experience. On all of my return visits, the food was delicious. I ordered the Louisiana Platter and was extremely satisfied with the taste and quantity of food. The wait staff has been wonderful each time. I believe any restaurant can have an off day and I like to give a second chance. I'm glad I did. We have really enjoyed the food and service. I will definitely be back. Initial post: Chicken was undercooked. Burger was dry. Bun was hard. Fries were cold and hard. Manager never came to talk to me.

My husband and I went early around 2ish on a Friday. We were sat at a table immediately. Our server was Ikesa! She was fantastic! She let us know about the happy hour specials. So we ordered the spinach dip and two Death Valley drinks! Both were wonderful. Word of caution, the Death Valley drinks are not for fancy folk! It is a strong drink but very, very good! Slightly fruity but you can definitely tell it's an adult beverage. My husband had the shrimp and grits! Oh My! Super yummy. Not your typical shrimp and grits with a tomato based sauce with onions and heavy garlic. The shrimp are stuffed with cream cheese and a sliver of jalapeno pepper wrapped in bacon tossed in a sweet chili glaze on a bed of cheesy, creamy grits--not the dry grits that some places claim are cheese grits. I had the Boom Boom shrimp tacos! I am not a huge fan of putting seafood on a taco...but this .. was delightful! Boom Boom shrimp battered, fried and tossed in a delicate sauce on a bed of fresh cut cabbage in a soft tortilla! Just wow! I got the homemade Ranch to use as a sauce! Yeah! Just wowzers! Heaven. Then perfectly ....I mean perfectly cooked waffle fries with just a bit of Cajun seasoning! These are not the limp waffle fries you get at fast food restaurants, crispy outside with a soft and fluffy inside. We will be back!
