How Much Of The Walk-On's/Raising Canes Criticism ........

I really dont see any raising canes backlash here. I was at the first location on opening night way back when. It was a solid meal. But I always felt like they copied off of Baileys Chicken fingers that were around before them and had the exact same menu. But I give them credit for their marketing and ability to franchise.

Now Walk-Ons has a great location and thats about the only good thing I can say about the place. Appetizers are decent but the food is not great by any means.

I like raising cane's.

As for walkon's, I like Brandon just fine (he's another fellow bear, BTW). The food is simply mediocre.

We all know the only reason those boys got rich is from rich daddies/relatives who basically set them up to succeed. No talent involved at all.

Walk-On's

Walk-Ons USED to be really good when it first opened... but the food quality has slowly declined since then.

Plus, I've known 3 or 4 girls who have worked there over the years and have had miserable experiences with management.

So is the other guy the douche?

warner is a pretty big free-loading douche .. brandon's just a spoiled brat ..

Good question. I've never had a problem with the food at Walk Ons. I never thought it was spectacular either but I don't expect it to be because it's not billed as some high class joint. I'd go there on occasion because it was close to my apartment. I thought their crawfish etoufee could stack up against any other in town.

yeah .. i was just throwing it out there for discussion .. at one time raising canes was getting ripped pretty good on the OT .. it just seems that the criteria for walk-on's to gain TD.com approval is a lot higher than any other place ... it seems like the chimes has some sort of permanent hall pass around here and i have never really thought that the chimes was all that great outside of an awesome draft beer selection ..

Wow!!! Intersting discussion.
I have known Brandon and Jack since they started the place. I use to hang out with while they we're still playing ball. We had mutual friends so we would see each other out and play a little golf together. Both Brandon and Jack are very nice guys. I do believe that a lot of people in this town are jealous of their success. However, I think Baton Rouge was ready for a place like Walk On's and they were in the right place at the right time. You can't fault them for that.

As for Canes. I love that place, great hangover cure. The only problem I have is that it is not an original idea like everyone thinks it is. Todd worked for a place called Guthries in Athens, GA. Guthries was started in 1969 and the only thing they serve is chicken fingers, fries, toast, slaw and a special sauce which is exactly like canes.
But, once again you can't fault him for marketing it better than Guthries and doing what he has done. Guthries could have done the same thing

There's also Abner's and Zaxby's in addition to Guthrie's and the defunct Bailey's, but he thought of it while fishing in Alaska right?

How bad do you think the one on Coursey is going to fail?
