Don’t Walk On’s in Arlington, TX

Went there today. Got “Crawfish Etouffe” and cup of “Gumbo” for my meal. Etouffe was soupy, with surprisingly scarce tiny crawfish sprinkled in it, along with not much rice. Flavor ok but not remarkable. Gumbo flavor was salty, only chicken and sausage; lots of pepper. No french bread served with this disappointingly insubstantial fare. When I requested French bread, it seemed like a canned response, “sorry, we don’t serve that, but we have something like Texas toast” Server was faux shocked when I grinned and said no thanks. But surprising for a supposedly Louisiana based menu to not offer French bread with etouffee or gumbo. Blank look back by server.
My wife got a Zydeco Fried Shrimp salad. Nice looking fried shrimp atop mixed greens out of a bag, with what my wife said tasted like that old bottled Russian dressing.
Count a $5 tip and this sad late lunch cost $50.51.
Will never recommend this place to anyone.

It’s 700 degrees outside. The hell are you doing ordering etoufee and gumbo?

That is what you get for ordering local Louisiana dishes in Arlington Texas.

Baw, you gotta do your research before eating and ordering menu items at WO franchises in other States. Just because it’s a “Cajun - South LA” dish doesn’t mean you’re gonna get original SWLA quality. Arlington ain’t Abbeville.

Why do you order etouffe in Arlington, tx? At least go find some mediocre barbecue.

I live in Dallas and have tried the so called Cajun food here and even the best is pretty poor. I just cook my own.

Pappadeaux’s is overpriced bad imitation of Cajun food. They serve etouffee on top of fricking dirty rice.

It's not a Cajun restaurant, it's a Sports Bar. You need to temper your expectations and get a burger.

Yes its the waitresses fault for the restaurant not serving french bread!

Not trying to defend them at all, but that would be two of the last items I would order from there.

You sound stupid.
Pics of wife? Or shrimp?

I moved from DFW 15 years ago but at that point Dodie’s was the only acceptable LA fare
Certainly not walk on’s frickery

Wow. That's almost an 11% tip.

Some non-Louisiana coworkers here raved about Walk-On's, so I gave in and went for lunch one day. The boudin balls and blackened gator were both better than expected. I would never mess with a gumbo made in a chain restaurant in TN though.

Ultimately they served it so it’s on them, but only a moron would have ordered what you did. And you should read the menu and see if it says “served with French bread” or asked before you ordered.
For your wife’s salad,mixed greens out of a bag …? Where are they supposed to get these ? A garden out back?
