I member it.

I also member those shitty restaurants across the street. First is was O'Henry's Food & Spirits, then Santa Fe Cattle Company, then Walk-ons. Fail, fail and fail.

Wonder if Walk On’s would have moved to corporate drive location had the old mugshots not closed down

Do they specialize in frying whole onions and cooking fireside shrimp?

I think after Dingo’s failed he tried to open a smaller one inside the country club on Sherwood Forest, but it didn’t last long.


It was in the old Shenandoah country club which is now Southern Oaks Athletic Club. We went a few times after we moved to the area and the food was mediocre at best then it closed down.

The upstairs dining area is cool but it’s too large of a building for restaurants in 2020. Most everything aside from sports bars seem to be downsized these days

Thought it was an ideal layout for a sports bar. Was a great spot to watch football games. Surprised Walk-On's didn't last there.

Walk On’s did well there. I feel like when Mugshots closed in Towne Center is was a great opportunity for them to move there
