Walk Ons Hype Machine

Never been to one. I’m team Chimes all the way.

If it’s so exhausting, you could just not post about them

Never understood the hate for Walk Ons. They have good food and a pretty decent beer selection as well. Good place to watch some games.

I don't either. Initially, the food wasn't all that great. But I wasn't going there really for the food anyway. It was just something to snack on while I watched ballgames and drank beer.

Now, the food has improved (though the service at the Corporate location is awful) and it's still a good spot to drink beer and watch games (or at least it was when the government allowed people to play games and watch sports)

Do you find it exhausting seeing the constant self promotion of this restaurant company?

advertising seems to work for most successful companies- Nike, Ford, Bud, Coke.

Why do you let that trigger you?

Or should Baton Rouge be gladly championing one of the few successful locally based companies we have here?

This one. One of the only widespread Baton Rouge founded companies, with it's headquarters still in BR. Canes is all but headquartered in Texas now. I think the next largest chain started and headquartered in Baton Rouge is Picadilly.

Another place I find highly overrated. Mediocre food at best.

Walk ons is a sports bar, almost like a hooters without the wings. The food isn't spectacular, but it's pretty good, and is better than most other chain kind of sports bars. Ive pretty much only been to the original location, and maybe some of the other locations are different. At least for that spot it's got beer, decent food, a good location (for pre/post game eats), tons of games on TV and there's even attractive waitresses in skimpy outfits as the cherry on top.

I don't exactly frequent the place but it serves its purpose well. If they're chaining out then they've gotta be doing something right.

if all the variations of bud/miller/coors and abita is your thing, go for it.

Except they actually have a nice selection of local options as well for a SPORTS BAR... but carry on.

This is all that matters. I go a few times a year to watch sports or maybe to meet with some guys after work downtown here.
As others have said, they have good beer. The talent is usually pretty good. The service and food are both much much better than a place like Mannings in New Orleans or the shitholes known as BWW.
