No one was at the stand up front when we got there so they couldn t seat us. We asked a waitress if we could sit anywhere in the empty restaurant and she said we had to wait for the hostess. 15 minutes later we got a table. We ordered beer and appetizers. We could see the beer at the bar so we asked our waitress and she said she would check on it. By the time we got our beers they were hot. Food ended up being good but it was the worst waitstaff I have ever seen. There were more workers than people in the restaurant and none of them seemed to be doing anything

Food was good. The sports atmosphere was definitely in full effect (but I could see the patrons didnt like my Boston Cap that I was wearing! Lol). Service was good. Burgers where good, onion rings were very tasty!

We used to love it here but the last few times have been horrible. Both the service and the quality of food have plummeted. We decided to give it another chance and went on 9/22/24 with a group of ten. They were out of the redfish, bone in wings, red beans and rice, and dos xx beer. They made my sister in laws food wrong and didn t fix it and they brought us cold fries. We have decided we will not be going back. Not sure what s happened to this place but it s very disappointing.

9/15 12:30 p.m. Sunday Lunch My eating out buddy and I had never been here before so we were excited to try this restaurant. When we entered, we were absolutely shocked to see how big this restaurant is and there are dozens and dozens of big screen TVs everywhere. We thought surely this must be the perfect place to watch a game. The host told us it would be 20 minutes and we were the second table waiting. Actually we waited about 5 minutes The young man sat us at a booth and told us if we wanted to change to a different game to let our server know. We didnt see a server for 12 minutes. Ashlyn approached and greeted us politely and requested our drink order. We told her we already knew our appetizer and lunch order. She said, Let me get your drinks (2 diet cokes and two waters) then Ill come back and get the rest. I asked that she at least start the appetizer while she was at it. She walked away grumbling. I asked her to return and that she change our TV to the Cowboy game. She said two words: ohhhh manager. She returned and we told her we wanted Mozzarella logs $11.99, Double bacon cheeseburger for $15.79, and Jalapeno jack burger $14.99. we also asked if the manager was going to change to the Cowboy game. She cringed again. The next time we saw her, she had an irritated look on her face and said our mozzarella sticks were coming. Another server brought them shortly afterward. Ashlyn asked us if we needed anything else at the moment and we said just more soda. A good while later, she stopped and pointed to each of us and said, Anything? We just said more soda and the Cowboy game. She rolled her eyes upward and took off trotting quickly 10 minutes later our burgers came, but we had no silverware. Big failure! She returned after and said, Anything else? Yet again we said more soda and the Cowboy game. She left without saying a word. Boy were our burgers and waffle fries beautiful! I expected two or three small slices of bacon. Oh no, I had six large pieces. Excellent! These burgers were a bit misshapened which lets know that the burgers are hand formed. Fantastic! Both of our burgers tasted absolutely delicious, almost smoky. I guess they were rationing mayo and mustard as I received a half a teaspoon of each on my burger buns. The waffle fries that came with the burgers were fantastic! Im not a big ketchup fan but it sure did taste great on these fries. We finally received more soda and we did not ask for the TV to be changed again, but she said she was leaving to go ask her manager to do it. When she left the table she left our dirty appetizer plate and our glasses from the first round of drinks just sitting there and eventually she never picked them up at all. We finished and I asked for a box. She quickly brought it and I requested our check. She just looked at her handheld screen and told me $54.29. no paper copy nothing. We paid her the check and left her tip in cash as well. She then said thank you thank you so much and please be sure to ask for me next time. Honestly, I would never ask for her again. We always felt as if we were bothering her. We asked her to change the TV a total of six times, never happened! Our dirty dishes never left the table. Hopefully for 55 bucks or more your experience would be better! 1 out of 5 stars for service and 5 out of 5 for the food

Very disappointed about the service!! Our server bring our food and drinks and disappeared after that, we ask another waiter if she can get our server so we can get refills on our drinks and a Parmesan cheese for one of the people in our table who had the fettuccines with chicken Without any flavor the server finally came back we asked for the check she didn t apologize for being missing. The server Connie still got a good tip ! We re not coming back for sure.

Amazing experience! This was our first time eating at Walk-Ons and a young boy named Lonnie was super attentive to all the tables and he was not even our server. He immediately complimented my shirt after he welcomed us in and seated me and my family. He consistently checked on us, made us laugh, and got a few conversations out of us all while doing other tasks. Our server Aneesa was very busy and still super attentive! Phenomenal service, phenomenal staff, phenomenal experience! We will be back!

If I could give a zero I would. The last three times we ve given the benefit of doubt, we ve been sorry we did. Previous visits chicken was raw and had to be sent back and the service was bad. This last straw was being sat at a table and waiting for over 15 minutes without anyone even coming to offer us water. Server going to other tables around us, but never coming to ours. It wasn t even that busy. We ll never be back.

Was seated at the bar tables 12 minutes later nothing, no acknowledgment from anyone, we just walked out and still nothing. Service has gone down. Not going back. The bar was a bit busy but there was no one else sitting at the bar tables, the rest of the restaurant was not busy. I wouldn t even want to bring anyone here anymore, the last couple of visits were also bad service. We went to George s we re immediately greeted and seated, and within 4 minutes of sitting we had our drinks and appetizers put in. They were packed!

I truly dont know what has happened to this place. I used to work there and things have totally gone WAY DOWN HILL. I went back tonight for dinner one because I remember the atmosphere being amazing, two I remember the service being way above the average, and three the food was delicious.. Tonight that was not the case. We got seated immediately and then didnt have a server come to our table for 33 minutes. Finally I got up and went to the togo area and told a young man that weve been here and havent had a server came to our table. After that conversation a young lady came. I told her we were ready to order our drinks, appetizers, and our main course. She then rushed us through the whole ordering process. After that we did not see her again until our main course came out, only because I got another server who was attentive to her tables and asked if she could be our server. Our original server came back with a smart remark saying I put your food in we got a 40 top so the kitchen has been busy SHE TOTALLY MISSED THE ISSUE. We ordered 2 raspberry lemonades from the bar and a shiner. The Shiner came out rather fast. Then after waiting for 45 minutes the other waitress (not our original) told us that they were out of raspberry which was fine so we just changed to a different flavor and then still didnt receive them until we were half way through with our main course. Over all the service from the original server was disgraceful and she needs to work on communicating with her guest. Additionally she should not use excuses and blame a large party for her bad service. I get some people have a good work ethic and she was not one of them. Management should do better of NOT HAVING ONE BARTENDER ON A FRIDAY NIGHT! Then to hear that the manager was in a pissy mood too. Atmosphere wise if you enjoy staring at Direct TV on most of the screens then this is the place for you. The new server saved the day on this one. The food was great and wouldve been better if I had a drink to drink it with.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. Our waitresses, had an attitude from the moment she came to the table looking like she didnt want to be there. We asked about some beers, and she simply said I dont know about the beers, only our bartender does... What?! I cant believe this restaurant wouldnt train their staff to know what theyre serving. We finally ordered some drinks, one was out, thats ok, we ordered something else, it took 10 minutes to get and the beer was sour and disgusting. Clearly they havent cleaned their lines in a long, long time. Gross. My boyfriend went to the bar to return it and ask for another, the bar tender seemed nice and took back the beer letting him know shed pour a different one and bring it to the table. Instead she went ahead and took other orders at the bar and after another 10 minutes, I had to go to the bar and ask for the beer again and stand there to get it right away. When food came out, my burger patty was a little charred but fine, of course it had pickles when I asked for no pickle, but fine, I can take them out. The food was overall fine, but service was the worse. Not coming back and do not recommend.

The food is fantastic & there are plenty of options to choose from. Ive eaten the Shrimp po boy & shrimp in a cup, cant remember the name, but it had cream cheese & Jalapeños, I dont like Jalapeños, but it was still great, the hamburger & a chicken wrap. What I dont like is it is loud in there & I was taken aback at being charged a dollar for Mustard on the burger. Ive never been charged for Mustard anywhere else.

We came in tonight at 9:15, specifically choosing Walk On s for their unique menu and because they re open until 10 pm and we don t get off work until later in the day and most restaurants close at 9. We went to sit at the bar, passing two gentlemen waiting for a hostess to seat them at a table. The female bartender working immediately told us upon sitting at the bar that the kitchen had already stopped serving food, which we thought was odd since there s nothing about the kitchen hours differing from the hours posted online. We left, and I mentioned to the two men still waiting for a hostess to seat them that the bartender told us the kitchen was closed and no longer serving food. We walked out and happened to see someone, most likely a closing server, seat the two men I had just spoken to. At this point we knew the bartender simply didn t want another tab and lied to us to get us to leave. What s unfortunate is that it s really the bartenders loss, we ve both been in the service industry for years and would ve been unproblematic and tipped generously. Instead, we ll walk on to another bar where the people working there want our money.

I recently dined at Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux, and my experience was significantly enhanced by the exceptional service provided by our hostess, Sofia. From the moment we entered, Sofia greeted us with a warm and genuine smile, instantly making us feel welcome. Her friendly demeanor and professional attitude set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic dining experience. Sofia demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the menu and the days specials, offering thoughtful recommendations that catered to our preferences. Her ability to manage our seating promptly, despite the busy evening, showcased her efficiency and dedication. Throughout our meal, she frequently checked in to ensure everything was to our satisfaction, without being intrusive. This level of attention made us feel valued and well-cared-for. In addition to her impeccable service, Sofias enthusiasm and upbeat personality created a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Her positive energy was infectious, contributing to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. It s clear that Sofia takes pride in her role, and her efforts did not go unnoticed. Thanks to her, our visit to Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux was truly memorable, and we look forward to returning.

Was in Waco visiting family and we went to eat there as it was next to our hotel. Very disappointing! We live in Baton Rouge where Walk Ons started so we know what we should expect. Ordered the Chicken Cali club and the chicken was over cooked and dry and the fries were over cooked too, plus they seemed to give us a half serving of fries. Also, it took forever to get our food. Only 2 of us eating and the restaurant was not that busy.

Had dinner this evening at Walk-Ons Waco. It was extremely disappointing. Waited 20 minutes to be seated when the restaurant was only 1/4 full. Crawfish étouffée was an extremely small portion. Onion rings were not any better. They didn t have 2 out of the 4 dessert options. Service was on par with our dinner, not very good. Pay your employees a better wage in hopes for reliable and better employees.

Great food! Seated right away, but in a part of 4, only 3 orders arrived at our table. There was quite a wait for my daughters meal. Our server was very forgetful. She forgot my grandsons apple juice. We had to ask another employee because we did see the server for a while. When we asked for to go containers, she forgot the container and lids for the sides. Ive had Walk-ons in San Antonio, and Conroe. This Robinson/Waco location was our first time eating here. The food is consistently good, though.

I heard about this restaurant and decided to give it a try. I ordered the boudin balls, for an appetizer, which were sub par compared to what Ive eaten at other restaurants. When I bit into it, the inside was mushy and look like dirty cornbread. It was bland and nasty. Then I ordered the chicken sandwich with bacon and a spicy sauce. Again, strike two. The sandwich was dry. It had a bland taste to it, and it was not at all tender. I took my knife to cut it and it had the consistency of a rubber ducky...lol. Seriously??? At this point, as a customer/guest, Im very disappointed with the meal. But guess what? The next thing that irritated me was a worker comes close to my area, and starts spraying some kind of cleaner. Immediately, I could smell the chemicals and at this point, I felt cheated out of a good meal and disgusted that I had to smell cleaning spray as I was eating. Now this may not bother the average person, but it bothered me. I dont want to smell bleach and bacon. This was an epic fail on so many levels. The waffle fries tasted old and had the texture of cardboard. Again, epic fail. I paid $28 for nothing. I left the server with no tip because the whole dining experience was simply bad. I will not recommend this restaurant and would suggest you take your money elsewhere, unless you like smelling pine-sol with a hint of fabuloso while you try to enjoy your meal. Smh.

Food was amazing! However, as we were leaving, we watched about 5 or 6 kitchen staff walk out of the back door having some sort of altercation. Several then proceeded to walk into their dumpster area and actually fist fight. Very embarrassing and unprofessional. There were about 10 other customers out side watching as it happened, including kids.

Went there to eat dinner and watch a game. Told the hostess, and server which game and both said they would get it changed. There was no one else in our area at that time. It took over 15 minutes for us to get our drinks then 10 minutes later told us they were out of fish. After 25 minutes the tv hadn t been changed and we didn t have any food. We left and will not be back.

All in all, pretty good!! We had the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Catfish Atchafalaya, and Lemon pepper wings, Mad Marry food came out nice and hot.great flavors on the Catfish Atchafalaya which had fried catfish, crawfish, shrimp over a bed of rice. Would have liked my rice a little firmer but other than that pretty good! Maddie was our server and she was definitely on point.

Sat at bar on Sunday. It was dirty like they didnt wipe it down between guest. Took 5 mins for the bartender to realize we were there and just wasnt very attentive and when we got inside there was not a host seen nor did we notice when they came but it was after we got our water. Food took a long time to come out and maybe 8 other people in the restaurant. But it was hot. I totally get the need to sometimes charge for substitutions but going from corn grits to mashed potatoes when the entree below has the mashed potatoes instead of the corn grits its wild. Substitutions sometime charge but the bartender waitress didnt say anything about there being a charge. I would go back to walkons just never this one. Fyi i shared my details and noone ever got back to me..

My husband and I have been to this Walk On s quite a few times, and we like it! Today we decided to split the platter because the menu description and price seemed like it would make sense (we split the Cajundilla a lot and it s perfect). Spent $35 before tip for a glass of wine and a platter with horribly small portions for the price. Our waitress and hostess were great, but this can t be acceptable for the prices they run. Catfish sizes were the worst of all

2024/02/21 - Let me start off by saying that we came in on a Wednesday and there was hardly anybody in the restaurant. My buddy ordered a tall blue moon with no orange, and I ordered a tall Dos Equis fully dressed. The girl questioned him about no orange, and said that no orange ever comes on a blue moon, which was a sign to him that they don t know their beer. She said they never put orange on their blue moon Whatever. About 10 minutes later, a different person brought the drinks. My Dos Equis had salt but no lime so I had to ask for additional limes. Then we placed our supper order A different person brought our meal out, but it was missing the red beans and rice and he told us that he didn t know that was part of the order. We later found out this was the manager that was bringing our food out. How does a manager not check and see the order before bringing it out? My blackened catfish Atchafalaya was warm, but not hot-horrible kitchen staff. The red beans and rice tasted like nothing but smoke Overly smoked or too much liquid smoke. While eating food, the girl came back and we asked for the manager and the gentleman came out who had served us our incomplete order. We told him about the several faults in the meal, and he offered us dessert to try to make us feel better ? As if a free dessert is supposed to make their service better? Not sure what kind of eating establishment they re running here, but the numerous small mistakes make me never want to come back again. First time and last time coming here

When you cant decide where you want to go to eat Walk-Ons is definitely a great choice... A nice variety of food, a pleasant atmosphere, good service and fair prices... Ive eaten here on numerous occasions with a variety of different friends from different parts of the country and can say Ive never had a bad meal. Any guests Ive taken there has always been impressed also. The appetizers are always hot out of the kitchen, plentiful on the plate, and quite tasty... with the entrees on the menu from the ahi tuna salad, to The Hangover Burger, pasta Alfredo or Cajun ribeye you cant go wrong... Walk-Ons is suitable for friends and families with young children...

Food was nothing to write home about but not bad. The service was awful in a funny way. Absolutely could not answer a single question about their beers, multiple servers, felt ignored after awhile with still no answers, and never even got one of the dinners ordered until we were leaving. Just seemed like no one knew what they were doing.

Ask for DIANA! Had a great experience here this past weekend. The food was delicious caso dip with house made chips and blue moon on tap was extremely satisfying and refreshing. ALSO sevice is atleast 70 percent of a restaurant experience.The service that Diana provided us was stellar. Its extremely rare to get comparable service these days. Diana was excellent, promt at getting out things that we requested and extremely friendly with unmatched social skills. She made us feel very welcome ! It was a good time .Rare to find in a restaurant post pandemic. Keep up the great work We Will be returning!

Well was supposed to be a nice simple dinner was a horrible experience. It was our first time going to this chain and what a failure it was. First waitress was ok at begging she took our orders and we thought everything would be great. Well when we did get our food my burger was supposed to be well done and it was 90% there I just cant stand seeing red in my meats. My wife ordered her food without onions and what ya know her burger had a onion on it. Our drinks ran out even though we just had water it is important to keep the glass from ever getting empty! during this time we both was just ready to leave but had to pay our bill. our waitress took forever to come back to our she apologized that she was over booked with two large tables and forgot about us. Thank you management for never stopping by I would of told you how horrible my service was! After another long period of time I finally got my bill paid but I had a split bill and the waitress charged the wrong amount to the wrong cards I put the card I wanted charged with the correct bill and she did not even pay attention to what was being charged for what! Yea dont expect us to ever come back.

I m not one to normally leave bad reviews but this was hands down the worst restaurant experience I have ever had in Waco. Our waitress was completely inattentive for a section that had a total of two tables seated. We asked for water three separate times (never received anything), and our mixed drinks were completely messed up. I had to get up and go to the bar multiple to get any help. We ended up having to pay out at the bar because our waitress never returned to our table to check on us or take our order.

Went for a friends birthday. The bar was okay, The drinks were either really strong or not strong at all. Not really worth the money paid. The table was missing things that we had ordered and we just told them to take it off, The waiter was all over the place and we had waited for about 40 minutes just to get the check. Along with that, I understand getting along with customers but theres certain things that you dont say to maintain professionalism within your job.

My husband and I have been to the Tyler location that is always really good so when we were traveling back from Austin and saw there was one in Waco we decided to try that location. Wishing we had picked somewhere else instead. There were very few tables seated, we were one of five in the entire restaurant with tons of staff standing around. Hostesses seemed bothered that we interrupted them leaning on the counter playing on their phones. Server was extremely slow, never brought refill when asked and had to be reminded after wed been sitting through most of our meal with empty glasses. There were multiple dirty tables with old food on them that were never cleaned the entire time, despite staff walking past them repeatedly. Staff were too busy hanging out at one of the tables in back to be bothered. Two of the other tables sitting near us also had problems that they had to point out to the staff to be corrected, it wasnt just us experiencing issues. My wrap came out cold and missing ingredients. When I told the server I was simply brought the missing items and expected to add it myself even though doing so would cause the whole wrap to fall apart and it couldnt be mixed in. No offer to remake it or anything. My husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich which came with two pieces of chicken on it, his first bite he found one piece to be undercooked. We shared an appetizer and had different meals but we both became sick after eating there a couple hours after. We will never be going back to that location.

We really liked this place. It has beer taps and a pay station at the table so you can serve yourself, which was unique for us. The server was super friendly and attentive...the hostess team was not so much. I had been craving a Cajun blackened ribeye for a while and theirs was good enough ( 4/5 ). The loaded mashed potatoes were a puree rather than layering of ingredients which tasted good. The green Beans were crisp and cooked good at the same time. The mixed fries seafood plate had plenty of variety. My wife got the blackened fish Tacos and the tortillas were not very good, so wouldnt get those again. It was right next to a pond, which made the parking a little odd because the entrance faced the water and the parking was on the side/back. Overall a good experience.

Service was bad. Dishes were dirty. Waited 15-20 minutes to be greeted by server, who was fairly rude. *Update - the general manager reached out to us and was very nice and apologetic for our bad experience. She made every effort to make things right, which goes a long way. Its now obvious that this restaurant cares very much about a customers experience and the quality of their service. Because of this, we will be giving them another try.
