I feel like they make a shite ton of money on gamedays. If they pivot and became an average SEC sports-bar with a massive college bar scene, especially on gamedays then they can chill and ride the cash wave.
They shouldn't try to become a family restaurant, otherwise they will be another chilis

i used to love their ribeye poboy and their surf and turf burger. but the last 5-6 times they have been bad.

Onion rings were the best around and they removed it from the menu.

Also, at the p'ville location during the lsu/florida game this season, the manager turned the sound off because some cheese dick at the bar wanted to watch another game.

I knew the waitresses were too hot.



I know a manager somewhere where the waitresses are mostly attractive. He quit there about 12 years ago. He said if his marriage was going to survive he had to stop working there.

Got a better paying 9 to 5 job. About 10 years later him and his wife divorced. Dude quit the better paying 9 to 5 and went back to managing the same place he was before.

Some dudes are just pussy hounds. I don't say it in a judgmental way at all, its human nature and some people love a variety more than others, but I know Brandon.. We went to middle school together and his aunt lives down the road from me. With all the new locations they have been opening, that's a lot of time away from home..

And how can they not have wings on the menu, especially with the sports vibe that they want to portray


Shoulda had Bennigan style nachos, pizza and wings.

Also should have kept the fruit cup side.

Do like the new shaved chicken sandwich.

Place went to shite back in 2016 when they ended the 2 for 1 happy hours.

Had to drift on over to Barcadia’s daily $1 pint happy hours.

Walk On’s beats the hell out of BWW’s or other sports bar/restaurants IMO. They found a great niche.

There isn't really one close to us. Been about 3-4 times. Food wasn't that great and way overpriced.

My guess is they removed them during the great wing shortage and price spike in the last year or so.
Probably didn’t want to hear people bitch and moan about an order of the decent wings costing $18.
