Went to Walk-Ons for Lunch (yesterday 11/08/2021), normally we order dinner "To-Go", either Thru Door Dash (or) If out, We'll just call in our order, then Drive Up and use their "bring your order out to you in your car" service. Which is Fabulously convenient, especially on either VERY COLD or VERY HOT days (or) if You have a car full of kiddos and You're on Your way home, or You've been shopping or running errands all day, and You can no longer walk on Your exhausted feet, and You just want to get home and put Your footsies up! *chuckles*..Then Walk-On's "bring Your order to Your Car" service will seem Heaven Sent! The Good News is that their bringing Your "To Go" order out to Your Car while You kick back and Relax service, is a standard 365 every day a year (when they're open) service, and not just one temporarily around due to COVID-19...Woohoo!
This was only my 2nd visit actually inside a Walk-son's (all other orders were pick-up or Door Dashes), and I have to say, there isn't a single Bad T.V. Viewing seat in the House! Come "Game Day", for whatever "Game" is Your personal addiction (Football, Baseball, Basketball, Etc.), Walk-son's is DEFINITELY where You WANT TO BE SITTING+WATCHING!
PARTICULARLY, IF:
a) You're hanging with Your Boys!
b) You & Your Girl or Guy wants some Grub & a Game!
c) Your Single and You hate watching games at home alone! You'll always find Game Fans Here!
Etc..
BUT, it's not just a Game Day eats kind of place, No Way!, You'll also want to either Order "To Go" or Dine-In at Walk-On's simply to enjoy their FOOD‼
THE FOOD IS. GOOD!
Their "Boom-Boom" Shrimp (Shrimp with a Spicy, but not Hot, glaze) is a Favorite of my Sister's, and is served as either an appetizer just in a bowl by itself, or as Shrimp Boom Boom Tacos (2-3 per serving) with the Shrimp and some shredded cabbage that gives it a nice crunch in a Flour Tortilla.
They also offer Redfish, Tuna or Pork as alternate Taco options.
I've had the Redfish, which I found a bit disappointing, as the Redfish was chopped up to unrecognizable, so I wasn't a fan. Honestly, I prefer Santa Fe's Fish Tacos that comes with recognizable Chunks/Pieces of Fish and has chopped cabbage, but also includes a more flavorful sauce(?).
I've also tried Walk/On's:
* CORN GRITS:
Yellow Grits with Corn mixed in it. It was good because it was warm, and the first 3-4 spoonfuls tasted like corn, but after that I lost interest,m. I'm not a big grits fan. I only ordered the corn grits, because the loaded mashed potatoes came with bacon already mixed in it. I'm a pescatarian (aka vegetarian that eats seafood).
* CRAWFISH ÉTOUFFÉE (bowl):
Which was GREAT! I enjoyed it so much I got an additional bowl of it to take home. Their crawfish étouffée is nice and creamy, semi-thick, (but not too thick), and it has a nice flavor without it venturing into that all too common annoying 'tourist spicy' that many restaurants tend to serve, and the étouffée is overall just an enjoyably good dish, and one worth repeating (often!) Note: Crawfish Etouffee is listed on the Menu as 'cup' size; however, when ordering I asked if available and then requested a 'bowl' size, so I had a serving equal to a standard restaurant soup entree instead of the 'cup' size, which is equal (imho) to a starter/appetizer serving size.
* CATFISH ATCHAFALAYA:
I ate this entree years ago at the Baton Rouge Walk-On's and enjoyed it, and I'm now looking forward to ordering it at the Hammond Mall Walk-On's Soon!
