We are about to get one in Brazoria County. Looks like they are all over the U.S. There's one in College Station. Reviews? Thoughts?

Sports bar with cajun influence on the menu. Great place for a sporting event if you have a table. Decor is like a giant sports clips. Food was good. Beer was cold.

I've been a few times, most recently as last week at one in San Antonio off 281.
For an appetizer we had the Boom Boom Shrimp and my buddy had a bowl of the red beans and rice. Both were very good, hot and fresh and very flavorful. Ordered a 22 oz Miller that they had on Happy Hour (good happy hour menu)
For the entree I had the crawfish etouffee, little light on the crawfish but not surprising given the time of year. Was very pleased with the dish overall, great flavor with a little bit of spice. Good portions of it as well. Overall, food was great and beer was cold
The bar area was crowded (the Canada WC game was going on) so that added to the crowd but there wasn't a wait and we were served quickly and efficiently. Overall a great experience and I have enjoyed it everytime I go

Oxford, MS got a new one recently, very meh imo, cajun food and beer. I'd think of it as a Cajun Applebees.
do they waitresses show off in revealing outfits like the Peaks, Hooters?
I've had a good time at the one in NOLA.
And no, its not a breasteraunt

How long do you want to ignore this user?

The original is in Baton Rouge and the founders were walk ons with the corn dog basketball team, if I remember the back of the menu story correctly. Better than a Chili's. Maybe on the same quality level as a BJ's. Not a bad place. Would have been a good spot when I was working on the road a bunch.
There's one near me. I like it. Food is better than most sports bars. If you've got young kids take them.

Better than most sports bars. Way better on food varieties and quality Not expensive
They have pretty good wings as well to go along with some of the other things already mentioned
Better than average food for a sports bar, but not great. TONS of tvs, though. And relatively family friendly as well.
We love the one in College Station, go there several times a month.
It's not great Cajun food but it's not bad.
I got stuck in Edinburg Texas about a month ago and that was the only walkable restaurant from my hotel. I got the crawfish combo. The touffe was terrible, the fried crawfish tails were borderline ok although no sauce was provided for dipping. If you like places like Chilis and Applebees you'll probably enjoy it. I doubt I'll ever step foot in one again unless a customer wants to go.
Don't have young kids so I can't say from personal experience. It's not a bunch of drunks hitting on girls dressed provocatively. I always see families when I go.
Be careful about which draft beers you order. Ghost in the Machine is $13 which is the same price of a four pack at a store.
The food is pretty good and the TV set up is legit. There is literally like 50 TV's in the I-10/99 location.

its been a welcome addition when traveling to Midland
We went once to the location at Grandscape in the Colony. We were pretty disappointed.
If you erase from your mind that it will be in any shape form or fashion a cajun place you'll be ok. If you go in thinking you'll get decent cajun fair..just don't go.
Think of it as a sports bar with decent food and it is fine. It is a crap experience for cajun, despite their naming schtick.

Take the trash out staff.
I enjoyed it. Like a cajun themed sports bar. They usually have a lot of beer options.
For all who have been to a Walk-Ons is it better than Buffalo Wild Wings? Our BWW is TERRIBLE!
Most BWW i have been to it seems like they don't really give a **** if you get your food. So, this was definitely better on that regard.

I've spent enough time there that I've had my fill and don't want to go back. It's better than Champ's, I guess.
Big step up from a BWW, but that might have more to do with how much BWW sucks.rlb28 said:

Agree with most here. Better than average sports bar with lots of beer options and TVs. Food is good for a sports bar but barely resembles Cajun food.
We end up there a lot if we have a big group. Patio is good if weather is good.

Pearland BWW was so good many moons ago, but since we got one in our town I haven't been there in years. Our BWW is crap. Customer service is terrible with the wait staff huddling behind a wall on their cell phones. Food is cold and the place is dirty. We also had a Taco Cabana close down here because of the same issues and everyone quit going.schmendeler said:

Looking forward to Walk-Ons. They are evidently taking over our Luby's (which is still operating until the end of the year) and that seems like a large place for a sports bar.
I don't go to BWW often but the locations around me are pretty good. I don't have the same horrible experiences here that everyone else seems to have.
Food is good. Tons of TV's. Good beers on tap. Real good chain restaurant/sports bar.

I've been to the one in College Station. TV's everywhere and food was ok. They had Yellow Rose on draft so I was happy.

Yeah I'm not the only one with some beef.
I don't know exactly why, but my kids like the place a lot. The only thing 'special' about it is that they serve the kid's meals on frisbees that they get to keep. Other than that, maybe it's the fact that they can be a little louder than normal that they enjoy.AustinCountyAg said:what makes it good for young kids?jja79 said:
