The co-founders of Last In Concepts are parting ways after 10 years in the bar and restaurant business. Jack Warner and Brandon Landry will both pursue new business opportunities after having built a small bar and restaurant empire in Baton Rouge, including Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar, Happy's Irish Pub, Schlittz & Giggles and The Roux House, and having expanded into other locations across south Louisiana.
Although financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, New Orleans businessman Rick Farrell bought out Warner's majority share of Last In Concepts, according to a release. Warner will remain a minority shareholder, but Farrell and Landry will continue to operate Happy's Irish Pub. They'll also operate Walk-On's, which they plan to expand into a national chain.

What about schlitts? Their pizza I thought was legit. Better than any food at walk ons by a long shot

Interesting.
The New Orleans guy must have paid an arm and a leg to buy Warner out

I worked there when it first opened and they said the long term plans were to expand to other SEC cities and keep the college feel. I guess they changed their minds.

I heard awhile ago that they were planning on becoming a "family friendly" sports bar in the Texas area. The ESPN's #1 sports bar really gives them the push to go out of the state of LA imo.

Some one needs to be the first to step up to the plate and speak the truth about the abysmal food at there facilities on Yelp or some other social media site. The last time in the campus location I ordered dirty rice and could count the pieces of meat in the Uncle Bess rice mixture which was flavorless as hell.

The landry's do not own Acadian ambulance.
Walks on will fail. Horrible food and insane drink prices.

Sad to hear about the split but happy to hear that all of the restaurants are staying open. Walk-ons has been a huge part of my life, met some great friends there and had many great nights. I would love for the restaurant to go nation wide. Its good for Baton Rouge and LSU. People everywhere would love it!
