Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux - Lubbock Restaurant

MY FIRST TIME AT A WALK ONS! Entering to a warm welcome followed by gracious service! My margarita was made to perfection! I say that because a majority of the time establishments use way too much sour mix. This was perfectly balanced.. not like they had measured the portions but like they knew how to blend the ingredients. This salad… THE Chicken Berry Pecan Salad! My GAWDDDD this salad is fit for a goddess! It’s so filling! The burst of flavors will have you re-indulging with every bite. If this is a first date for you (reading this) don’t get this salad because chances are you’ll end up not being able to speak as the salad will demand all your attention. Clearly we will return!

This place was clean, friendly, and had a big menu with a variety of options to choose from. I enjoyed my meal and speaking to the bartenders and wait staff. I def would go check this place out if you happen to be in Lubbock. The portion size of the food it very big. So be prepared for a lot of food. Also you have to try the High West Smash oh my it’s is high west bourbon with peach purée, lemon, mint, muddled strawberries, and orange juice it is delicious. I recommend this drink. You will snag more than just one or even two. Then the delicious Hickory Burger cooked to perfection and loaded with delicious onion rings and that amazing sweet baby Rays BBQ sauce, cheese and on a brioche bun is to die for. Go to walk-ons and get your eat on.

Good food recommend the gumbo, devils on horseback & chips & Cajun queseaux for appetizers. Had the Pastalaya & mango Mahi for entrée which were good. The pulled pork sandwich & stuffed cheeseburger looked delicious will have to try that next time. Had the warm cookie sundae and beignetts for dessert they were good as well. I will have to try the crispy creme bread pudding next time it looks good.

Great food, sports TV, great service are what you will find at Walk-ons. We had the double bacon cheeseburger and it was soooo good. We added on some fried pickles and they were tangy and thin, fried to perfection! We enjoyed this lunch! We were so full that we did not venture into the dessert menu this time, but they looked like shakes and more! Certainly would enjoy going here again! Enjoy!

I'm pretty adamant when it comes to customer service. The host was nice and friendly. She sat us down and then a server came out. She did not greet nor smile. We let her know we were new to the place and she at least gave us some time to look over the menu.  I just feel the first impression is absolutely the best way thing to do when being a server is to smile and say "hello." A very simple gesture goes a long way, just as an unwelcoming gesture can really have an effect on our experience as diners. I believe her name is Ashlie, which was on the receipt. I still gave her positive responses to her service since I am no Karen. I figured maybe she just needed some happy customers. She did well checking up on us and taking plates off the table. I never leave a bad tip so I still tip her good. I think a little personality adjustment would make it better for her as a server in this industry.

Food experience: amazing! There were so great options for kids and they all look delicious. Not your typical, bread and hot dogs. We got our baby fried catfish meal and it came out perfect. Good seasoning and she liked it. Next, we ordered mozzarella logs. Those were great! It has a bite of overcooked on high heat oil but was still great. The marinara sauce was on par. The drinks were good! Stout and as it should for the high prices on them. I ordered Ribye Poboy. Delicious and I didn't find anything wrong with it. Crawfish etouffee was okay, I wouldn't order it again. I'm picky when it comes to cajun food but as a sports bar, it's still alright. It just has more of a tomato sauce taste. I'm not sure how they make their roux but I would've loved it with more garlic, grilled bell peppers, and onion tastes to it. The tomato flavor is overpowering. I don't know if that's what they use it on there as one of their ingredients but it tastes like that. Fried chips and queso are good.

Will I come back again? Likely. The menu has great options and still has many items that I want to try out. I know it's not the typical cajun restaurant I expected but they're still good. It's good to have a different palette for what another establishment offers.
