Yeah, Brandon was throwing hot dogs around in Auburn with a Walk On's sticker on it trying to drum up business.

yeah and if i am going to get some cheese fries, I'd much rather ones with 2-types of shredded cheese, bacon and banana peppers with chipotle ranch crack dipping sauce over chimes' slice of cheese on french fries with can gravy sauce. of course I will likely have my first heart attack faster at Walk-Ons.

I've always heard good things about the Walk-On's cheese fries.

I'd still take the Chimes any day of the week, though. You're right about the Chimes Easy being less crowded these days, last time I went was on a weeknight and there wasn't much of a wait at all. It was later though... closer to 9. Most places are emptying out by then on a weeknight.

I probably stick with only about 5 items on the Chimes' menu anyway.

Alright, more like 12 if you coutn the appetizers. Plus I'm a bit of a beernut, so... that gives a large edge to The Chimes.



Last time I went to Chimes East on a Friday night though... ridiculously packed. That was after being told that it would be 90 minutes at BJ's for a table for two.

Yeah, that seemed crazy.

It's not like it's a small footprint for a restaurant, either.

if you notice .. the area to the far right as you are walking in will sometimes have five or six empty tables while you are being given these insane wait times .. i think it has just as much to do with a lack of waitstaff as space ..

i dunno what time you get off of work .. but you almost have to be there by 5:30 at the latest on friday .. i got there at about 5:00 and it filled up fast .. we sat at the bar ..

i was just fricking spent by the time i knocked off on friday after fighting all the hurricane shite for the previous three weekends and just didn't give a shite what i looked like .. i normally don't go anywhere straight from work either ...

btw, there is some nice happy hour "talent" in there on friday's i noticed ..

The last 2 times I have eaten at walk-ons I have been very disappointed. The only redeeming factor is their catfish acadiana, its pretty good. However, the service is terrible, the food is mediocre, and the burgers are average to less than average at best. The game day atmosphere is pretty high. But if your looking for food, there are better places. To me it's a better bar than a restaurant, if you get service.
