Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux - Port Arthur

Tried this place for the first time because I heard good things about it and I wanted to catch a game. Walked in and greeted right away. Sat in a good seat. I had the catfish plate with hush puppies and mash potatoes. The fish was seasoned well and had a crunch just like I like it. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. I enjoyed every bite and I enjoyed the game and atmosphere. Definitely coming back to enjoy some other meals.

I made reservation 2weeks in advance for party room and it was more than I expected especially being on a Halloween night! We had Exceptional service at Walk-On's! The staff, including Taevon who helped with table arrangements at the beginning, set the tone for a great experience. Our servers, Lulu, Ashlyn, and Brooke, were absolutely fantastic! They were attentive, patient, and efficient, handling our large group of over 30 teenagers with ease. They took orders, provided prompt refills, and delivered food quickly and fresh. The teamwork and communication among the staff were impressive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The manager's exceptional service - she was sweet, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She ensured we had an extra table for cake and presents, even adding a nice table cover - such a thoughtful touch! She also made sure to check in with us, assuring us to let her know if we needed anything else. We were impressed with the service, atmosphere, and delicious food. My daughter had a great experience for her 14th birthday, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Walk-On's for events, family gatherings, and everyday meals!

I don't usually frequent sports bars but this place was enticing for the ratings and variety. I got a sense that the staff works really well together and helps each other out to fulfill orders and make the customers happy. I was very happy with the variety of the menu and the food came fast with super friendly service.

Bayou pasta is DELICIOUS. Vibe is happy and welcoming! Had Mackenzie as a server and she was the best bartender knowledgeable about everything on the menu and made sure I was not left without a drink or anything I needed. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Victoria was such an amazing server! She was extremely attentive, making sure our table always had everything we needed without us even having to ask. She was kind, patient, and made us feel so welcome the entire time. Her positive attitude and attention to detail truly made our dining experience enjoyable. I would definitely come back and ask for Victoria again!

Brooke was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She was VERY attentive and super sweet. I’ll definitely be requesting her every time we go. I recommend you do the same.

this place was so fun! loved the atmosphere and the food. i do wish the drinks were a little stronger. but aside from that everything else was yummy and our server lyric was amazing!! super kind and easy to talk to. their cajun ribeye to die for btw

Service was decent. Food was good. I tried the "Cajundillas", which has sausage, chicken, onions, cheese, and boudin in it and it very good, especially with the dipping sauce! Beer was good and at good temperature. I also had the "Death Valley" drink...if you like fruity drinks, that's the one, but it wasn't overly sweet. It also came with a souvenir cup. There are also plenty of TVs to watch LSU and Astros!

Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux is exactly what you would think it is; an All-American bistro, er, I mean Bistreaux, with a Cajun flair. The food is pretty good but calorie laden and the drinks are cold. There are a plethora of TV's with something sports related on the screen. I visited during the lunch hour. They were extremely busy, but because of the vast amount of space this restaurant has, it did not seem overly crowded. I decided to partake in the Ahi Tuna tacos. I have to admit, they were quite good. It came standard with a side of chips and queso. The container of queso is very small and did not have enough cheese to finish the chips. The additional queso is extra money, and for the amount you get, wasn't worth it. I decided to do without. The staff was friendly and very efficient. They were attentive, but not overly present. My first disappointment was the fact that they did not have bone-in wings. The only wings offered are boneless and that is not what I wanted. The second disappointment was the above mentioned queso, or should I say, the lack thereof. With that being said, I will eat here again and try other items on the menu. I recently saw where they are opening a location in Webster, TX. That is much closer to home, so will give me more opportunities to try them. Bottom line - Many of the menu items are typical bar food. However, due to the Cajun flair, some of the food offerings are different than other sports bars. I liked the variety. They did a pretty good job. 4 stars. Bon appétit, y'all.

This is a terrible Walk-Ons! I ordered Medium-Rare steak and got a Seared Raw steak. Had the Onion rings... I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! The Onion Ring batter was fried brick hard. Had them replaced with waffle fries... they were like chick-fil-a fries but worse, over fried and hard. Tried to build a melo relationship with the server asking for her recommendations, everything was a disappointment except the "blackened broccoli with parmesan cheese" a personal order which happened to be the best thing I ate there. Asked for a recommendation on drinks and was told "Death Valley" was a fan favorite, come to find out it was straight disgusting... seems to be a drink made for cheapskates-- was only able to take 3 sips. The spicy mango margarita was wayyyyy better. The setting is dark, and seems to only play sports dedicated to hockey, golf, and baseball. Not many customers and multiple tables always available when we walked in and toured the place. And servers are way too petite with no sense of dominance, confidence, or humor. Prices are ridiculous compared to local and other mainstream restaurants around the area. Management is rude and terrible, dude with the big gut thinks he's as big as his size. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!!! I see why everyone goes to Texas Roadhouse.

Walk-ons has been my go-to place for years. Lately the quality has gone down significantly. Today, I ordered my usual Blackberry Moonshine Swirl, and it was tasteless. No moonshine in it (I watched her make it) and the frozen margarita was watery. Just bland and disappointing. The same for my wife's cocktail. Poorly made. She told the waitress, and she shrugged, and walked away. My wife loves the sweet corn grits, and subs them for fries every time. Today they were very bland cheese grits. So, she didn't drink her drink, and now didn't eat the grits. Our burgers were OK, but even those weren't up to the standards that we're used to at Walk-ons. And lackluster service was the icing on the cake. A very disappointing birthday lunch for my wife. We may just scratch this place off of our list. I hate that.

Great food, good service, great beer. I would recommend if you're a bar food / Louisiana food fan to try it out if you haven't already.

We stopped here to eat before a family event. I had never tried this place, never even heard of it. It was roomy and large, several TVs playing various sports or sports commentary. Even busy it didn't feel crowded. I just had a burger and fries which was fine. The main takeaway sadly is the service wasn't great. We had 5 people and the server was friendly but we rarely saw them. We got up twice to get stuff, first napkins, then sugar as she didn't come back around for awhile after getting our order. It wasn't hours but it was noticeable. A few people wanted alcohol drinks or refills of said drinks and it took some doing to find our server Still we were also in a bit of a time crunch so that may have colored my perception. Overall good food. Slow service.

Very clean and nice atmosphere. Pleasant wait staff. I went with a party of four. We ordered the gumbo, which was decent, but not particularly good. We also had the redfish tacos with waffle fries. Again, the tacos were okay but nothing to write home about. The tacos had a little too much slaw. We also ordered the lemon pepper wings. They were pretty good. The drinks were okay and the overall value was okay. Great place to watch a game.

I visited the walk-on in Port Arthur, Texas on 923 for lunch at noon. I took my daughter. I ordered the burger and was specific that I wanted onion rings and not waffle fries. The waitress was very courteous. However, when my meal came out, all I had was a waffle fries and a burger I said do you remember I said I wanted onion rings not waffle fries so yeah I'll remember so she took the plate away. Brought it back with the waffle fries and said you could eat them if you want to we're making you onion rings well, I did not want them, and I did not want my hamburger to sit there and get cold waiting for them to make the correct order and also the drink that was brought out to me was not in a glass. It was bought it out in A. to go cup. I could never figure that out but the biggest issue I had today was the server once my meal was brought. She never came back to ask if we wanted to refill our drinks and I needed napkins drastically. The only time she came back was to bring the bill so the food was good. I was so disappointed in that order, but I'm not one of those people who don't tip I tipped, but I didn't say anything, but I'm passing this on. It was a very disappointing experience for $35. The place was not busy at all so that can't be used. I'm not a chronic complainer. I've only been to your place three times.

Our waitress Kylee B was very attentive and took good care of us. We had a top shelf margarita that was delicious along with keeping all our non alcoholic drinks filled. We tried the queso and artichoke dip and both were great. For main entree we had the lemon butter chicken and chicken berry salad and they were good to the last bite. Thanks for filling our bellies with good food and sports tv the best combo

We decided to go to Walk Ons in Port Arthur Tx and it was delicious. Our server Hunter was awesome and very helpful and informative. She made really good recommendations. The place wasn't packed but had a nice crowd. I decided to start out with my favorite drink the Moonshine swirl. Yummy. Usually pretty strong but sooooi good. I decided to order the Catfish Achafalaya with etouffee and fried crawfish tails with rice. My husband ordered the Sweet Baby Rays bbq pulled pork sandwich with cheddar, spicy slaw, and pickles, on a brioche bun with waffle fries. Everything was excellent. Loved the food, the service and the ambiance was wonderful. We will definitely be back for another round. Thanks Hannah

When I lived in Louisiana I always enjoyed going to Walk-ons. I moved to Texas and they opened a Walk ons. I like the menu. The food is good. The service is horrible. If you sit at the bar and you're able to pull the bartenders away from flirting with the men you may be able to get some service. Good luck

Food mediocre, service worse. Ambience OK. Very similar experience to The Colony location. 2 strikes, not sure if I'm willing to try a third time!

Let me start by saying that I love Walk Ons. Unfortunately, this place fails to meet the standard set by their locations in Houston and Baton Rouge. Maybe it's hard to find good help in Port A, but usually service is a training issue. Upon sitting at the bar I asked if they had any drink specials "No" is all the response I get. "Uh, like never?" - "well, there's happy hour but you missed it". At which point she walks off to talk to another bar tender. I did order food which was brought out by the kitchen staff. It had obviously been waiting a while and then I had to flag the unhelpful bar staff down for utensils. I left shocked and disappointed. I'll leave two stars because they did have MNF on the tvs so it wasn't all a loss. They need to send the staff to Baton Rouge for a few weeks to learn how the place should be run.

Great place to grab a burger or other quickie type food. Don't expect a lot when here, mgmt wants you in and out as quickly as possible. Nice about it but hurry up and empty that table so someone else can get in.

Food and service were great. We had the ribeye sandwich with waffle fries and tuna tacos with chips and queso. I had a southern smash (cucumber vodka, watermelon, lemonade with a hint of mint) which was a perfect drink with the tuna tacos (Asian slaw, mango salsa and wonton chips) Looking forward to going back and trying more dishes. 5/5 for food and service

It's trim trying I ordered rare steak and got well done. Debt back and reordered and comes out medium. By then I gave up because my party was already through eating and ready to go. I figured that if they have such shitty cooks to screw up twice there was no reason to make the rest of my party suffer. Most of them were unhappy with their food quality as well. Management couldn't give a crap one way or the other

This is our 2nd visit and I am so impressed with the Mardi Gras Mahi! It was delicious! I asked for the crawfish cream sauce on the side, and it made the mahi. I will definitely get this again! I gobbled it down ;) My husband enjoyed his sandwich; the bacon had excellent flavor and there was sooo much chicken on it. He thinks maybe it even had two chicken breasts on it?!! He ordered the iced tea, and said it had good flavor and tasted fresh brewed. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made excellent suggestions. I was debating between getting the sweet chili salmon or mahi mango, and she suggested the mardi gras mahi and i'm so glad she did. She kept drinks refilled, and checked on us a few times. We will be back! Fun atmosphere too!

Sonó found this place on Yelp, thought shoot why not! So I ordered the boneless wings which were not to bad, and the lo boy ribeye sandwich. It was decent reminds me off the old Philly that Denys use to have. The atmosphere was all sports which was way cool. The service was good. Bathrooms where clean and so was the whole restaurant. The service was fast had my food quickly and it was hot. The drinks where really good. My only complaint about the whole experience was I got my appetizer and two mins later my entre was there. That is it other than that it was top notch!

I was in Port Arthur for an eye appt and when I finished I went to Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux for a solo lunch and I must say it was fabulous, I mean to say it was bussin'. I am a fried cheese snob and these at Walk-On are in my top two list. They are huge and cheesy. The cheese pull on these is incredible and it came with two marinara sauces. I was extremely pleased. For my entrèe, I chose the Zydeco Salad. Presentation was masterful. This salad was a big win, a home run, a touchdown, and a slam dunk. It consists of mixed greens and cabbage, topped with sweet chili glazed fried shrimp (yum), candied pecan (yum-yum), jalapenos, crisy wontons, red onions, bell pepper, Jack cheese, vinaigrette with Tabasco brand pepper jelly. Out of the park delicious. My waitress Sarah was friendly and accommodating. She checked on me several times. Walk-On Sports Bistreaux takes their food to the next level. I highly recommend this place. You won't go home hungry or disappointed. This is another #bestbites review.

I've been to many Walk-On's and this one has the best layout. The service has been amazing and all of the wait and bar staff have been very nice and prompt. In particular Sarah in the back bar has been slammed all night and running around taking care of everyone and hasn't missed a step, she is amazing!!!!!

Some people say this is like a hooters or twin peaks, and it is somewhat. The food is pretty good especially for the prices. They had a pretty big selection of beer on tap but I know I paid $9 for one beer which is the only reason I give this a 4 star. 8/10 food 7/10 service 7.5/10 overall feel of the place

I've only been here a few times and don't think I'll go back and if I do, I'll eat before I go. The last time I got chicken Alfredo that lacked in sauce. The crawfish étouffée had no seasoning and only a few dime size crawfish on the whole plate. If I wouldn't have had a toast I wouldn't have eaten any of it. We were served raw burgers not ordered that way, green beans you couldn't eat. They only had one waitress trying to deal with 20 people, she had other tables and she was new. Never got a refill on my drink. This shows poor management. Pretty bad in my opinion when the McDonald's cheeseburger I had after I left tasted better.

Very slow service. Larger party that arrived after us got their drinks and food before us. Wife ordered a burger a certain way. It came out wrong. Sent it back and asked for chicken tenders in place of the burger. Staff acted like they didn't know chicken tenders were an option on the menu. Wife ended up not eating, got her something on the way home. Server MW definitely needs more training. It wasn't even busy in there. Don't recommend.

The food was delicious, service was great but the coffee was horrifically bitter. Please change the coffee so next time I dine here I can post a better review ,

Happy hour goes to 6pm on Sat. We checked in after 5 pm and they are trying to say my husband and I had 9 pints (smaller glasses) and 3 larger beers (22 ounces) within 2 hours. We had food it was all wrong! The manager comes to the table I ask why would we of drank that much with a 6 month old baby? Why didn't you cut us off? They refused to look at the camera. Never complain but I'm sick of the service at this location. Higher the bill the higher the tip and the higher the bartender gets paid. Just over it! Our burgers came out with none of the extras (that they charge for) the sweet potato fries were still raw and then they want to say we have basically had 15 beers in 2 hours with our 6 month old. Yah... no way in hell!

I've never been wild about Walk-On's. The food is ok to decent, they usually are quick. But whether I'm in Port Arthur, TX or New Orleans, LA, the service is always subpar. No smiles or warm welcomes. It's just OK, not great, not terrible. I will say they do generally have something for everyone which is nice, but overall not wow'd by the experience.

Food was great, I had the quesadillas. This place was very exorbinantly priced, all things considered, but the biggest flaw was the horrible outfits they force the female employees to wear. Extremely tacky, the shoes were horrendous. Male employees don't have to show any skin, either, so you can tell what kind of management is in place. Will not be visiting again- food isn't the only thing that can make a diner vomit

They are not a real sports bar. They play music during the NFL games instead of the game. BWW will get all our business during baseball playoffs and football season.

I like their food pretty well. The catfish is my favorite. The service is attentive and they're friendly. And as with all sports bars, the ambiance is what you'd expect. Definitely like it here and will return.

Great food and flawless takeout service. Hunter was our takeout waitress and made it a great experience. Highly recommend.

Good service except for having to wait so long for the $12 drinks that were watered down by the time they made it to me. Food was good and pretty standard for a chain by being over salted.

Tried the shrimp and grits-great, tried the burger-great. Got a recommendation on the catfish atchafalaya not good when catfish taste muddy. The atmosphere and the staff are very pleasant so I'll try the again

We have been to this spot a couple times. Today our visit was really good especially since our waitress Shelly was awesome. She checked on us regularly and made sure we had what we needed. She made some good suggestions that we trusted her with and she didn't disappoint. One of the best customer service interacations I've had.

Me and my boyfriend goes here all the time, it's great hehe. The cob cypress salad is so good.

The Avery Island Salad was delicious. Service was prompt and food was good! Will come back.

My first and last time going here! The food wasn't good and the Sri last were watered down!! Not worth the money!!

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I thought it was amazing! Clean. Wait staff was great! I had a Avery Island salad which was huge. Lots of room did not feel cramped. Great job all!!

Obvious attention to food quality, presentation and service. Very refreshing. Everything about this restaurant made for a pleasant lunch. My entree of blackened catfish was perfect. My wife's salad was fantastic. No complaints. It's nice to have this quality here

First and last time to ever come to this place I got the blackened hater wrap and the fries were hot only old but cold ! The wrap had two little pieces of gator that were not even blackened and the boudin is the nastiest boudin I have ever tasted if I could give this place a negative I would and btw I have never written a yelp until now !

Last week we made a special trip to dine with the new established place, we got there to find out it was a 45 minute wait (understandable), today (not wanting to make another special trip for a 45 min wait) I called the restaurant to see what the wait time was and if they were crowded, the manager explained they couldn't say over the phone and that I'd have to come by and see. I explained I was coming from Beaumont and asked if they could just answer the question and the answer was no they couldn't. Maybe they will improve in this area, I understand things change but at the time I called an answer would be welcomed.

Super average bar food. Burgers. Fries. Chicken tenders. Decent waitresses. Huge facility.

Me and my friends went inside walk ons and we asked for a table they told us to wait I mean it was expected to say that they had a lot of customers but it hit me by surprise when I seen 2 other girls go in and ask for a table and be seated almost immediately I wasn't really bothered by that so I waited for table as well as my friends we waited 51 minutes for a table and then we got placed at a table the waiter was nice and helping she actually seemed to do a good job. We looked at the menu and began to look for something to eat most of us got pasta and 2 of us got chicken tenders and fries she wrote it down and left as we waiting for the food it was a good 23 minutes but it really wasn't that long to say it was a lot of people there so we got our food it was good I mean not to much but it was okay but we decided to go to the restroom now before we went to the restroom we got to go plates and then we went so the waiter saw us go and when we went in the restroom and the waiter came and and said that she told them that we went to the restroom but she said one of them didn't get the memo her word's ofc I'm not gonna sugar coat at all so when she told us that and said that we was kinda disappointed knowing that we had wanted our food to go and our mom was outside and said that she saw them looking for us outside but didn't dare to come look in the bathroom the mean mugging and having a attitude was a lot for me because they where being very rude and disrespectful to us like we where the problem fuck THIS PLACE !!

It has been a few weeks, so I can't tell you what I had anymore except that it was some kind of seafood pasta. Haha! I will say that it was pretty good as are the drinks and service.

Cool spot to have a beer and watch football, but that's about it. The food isn't great and the service is not good. We had guests from Kentucky and wanted to show them a good time. Our guest ordered a stuffed burger and the meat was raw. I should have taken a picture of it.

Food is alright. Service is awful. Dined at the bar, the staff at the bar is more interested in flirting with clientele than providing any actual service. Waited to order, waited for silverware (finally got it myself), waited for napkins, waited for condiments, waited for check while trying to get the attention of multiple employees just chatting. If you are interested in a good meal with good service, this is not the place - but if you are interested in trying to get a date, spin that wheel! First time I have EVERY left no tip. On the upside, the duck and andouille gumbo is worth trying.

Very good food a little pricey for what you Get nice atmosphere I like the fact that it is owned by my favorite quarterback

Did not care for the service, food came back cold and took forever just to get a nasty margarita that included orange juice for some reason. Will not be returning at all. Only plus was how clean the restrooms were

if i could rate no stars i would. i was just there tonight. and i ordered the bayou pasta. and it was cold as ice. so i asked for the manager. His name was Chris. and he REFUSED to do anything about my cold dinner that i had to pay 15 dollars for. worst EVERRRR. Chris shouldn't even be a manager. Don't know how he was even interviewed for a job that is above his intelligence.

We went on our 13 year anniversary around 7:00 on a Friday.. let me just say if I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would.. from the amazing waitress to all the amazing food it tops the #1 restaurant around southeast Texas Even my two young kids are very picky about food. They both ate and got an Oreo shake that they absolutely loved!! I can not wait to go back

Not real impressed, we waited an hour for our food. We had a cheeseburger and a grilled cheese nothing special. There wasn't a lot of people there so I'm not sure what happened either they forgot to turn the ticket in or something going on in the kitchen.
