Their food portioning decline is rivaled only by Cane’s chicken fingers. I used to talk Walk-Ons up to people because of the value. Their shrimp poboy was stuffed for $10. Now for $14 you get a handful of fried salad shrimp. I get commodities have gone up but it’s decline has been fast.

The independent restaurants around here are skimping a lot too. It’s just the reality now with stupid high inflation.

We went to Walk Ons a few nights ago. It wasn’t a bad experience at all. We’d have spent more at BW’s and gotten far worse food. I got a few beers and a Zydeco Salad while I watched football.

I like the one in NOLA CBD as a lunch spot. The Buffalo chicken sandwich is always great.

I tried the one in Hattiesburg in October and the service and burger sucked. Regretted not going to Mugshots instead.

Maybe BL just wanted a lower stress position. Being on the board without daily demands might be just the ticket.

Killed my pepper plant. Do not recommend.

I thought Walk Ons was another Scotty Ballard thingy. Guess not.

Probably went to the Walk-On's in Towne Center in BR and was embarrassed at how awful it has become.


Brandon doesn’t own that one. A franchisee does, as is the case with most of them. But yeah, as the franchisor, they should hold them to higher standards.
