I think I’m just about done with Walk-Ons. Went the other day and they removed my Mardi Gras Mahi from three menu, the talent was not good, bunch of uglies / fatties. Shrimp & crawfish is imported from China, not La seafood. The only thing left going for it is Guiness on tap.

Jesus. how many employees could they actually have. I was thinking a total of 15. I work for a fortune 50 company with 200 employees and that is 10 times bigger than our offices

Canes should buy it. Turn it into their chicken tender size reduction center.

They have been relocating for a while. Can’t run a business like that from Louisiana.

RIP old Co-Op


That was the “new” Co-Op after they moved from Chimes Street.

We should try to make sure they stay in Louisiana and hopefully bring qualified folks here. Louisiana restaurant chains are a hit - we need to keep as much of their corporate ops here as possible.


Yup

frick those imported shrimp serving motherfrickers.


This. They were dead to me the minute they started importing. Seems like Chimes/Parrains is the only quality option in BR.

The walk-ons here in Tampa has really gone downhill over the last year or so- subpar food (imported shrimp, crawfish, etc), limited menu, and less than great service. Wonder if that’s a trend across the board and maybe they’re adjusting to reduced demand?


Sad to hear but not surprising. It wouldn't shock me to see them leave the Florida market completely. Their launch into Florida has essentially completed flopped.

I live in Orlando and I was happy when they announced they were opening here. Opened the I-Drive location in late 2020 (delayed of course due to the pandemic) and then opened the Kissimmee location either late 2021 or early 2022.

The I-Drive location closed in early 2023, essentially making it 2 1/2 years and then the Kissimmee location closed in late 2023, basically only making it around 1 1/2 - 2 years. I know the Pensacola location closed as well and that location didn't make a year.

Like you said the quality was good at first but really started to go downhill late in 2022/early 2023. They stopped having the Mardi Gras Mahi as well as the Crawfish Two-Way Entrees and they were my two favorite entrees. Service really started to go downhill as well.

Both Orlando locations there was no warning they were closing, they both just happened overnight. The Kissimmee location didn't surprise me as much as it never really seemed busy. The I-Drive location did surprise me though as it was pretty steady and very busy during football season. But maybe that was the problem, I could see where weeknights would've probably not been that busy.

But very sad to see them leave the Orlando market completely.

If Fleur de Lis is asking for $4 million for their shitstain of a location that will likely fail any inspection coming it's way, I'm sure you can get $4 million for this
