🏈 Notorious Nola Noms at Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux
“We deliver elevated food with a family-friendly, sports bar atmosphere,” says Paul Brown, Operating Partner for Walk-On’s, “People need to try our food to see that we’re not your average sports bar.”
This sports-concept restaurant originated from Baton Rouge, bringing Louisiana flavor to International Drive. Drew Brees, an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, is part owner of the restaurant, illustrating the high energy of the eatery. This is the first Walk-On’s location in the Orlando area, but the restaurant is quickly franchising into other parts of Florida.
The elevated menu items are made from a primarily scratch kitchen. The sauces are created in-house and nothing is pre-breaded. The restaurant serves classic bar choices, however their Louisiana dishes convey Nola cultural roots. Take a sight of our bites!
🍔Surf & Turf Burger
This menu option provides an elevated Nola twist to a classic handheld. A smokey seafood flavor is delivered with a cajun twist from blackened shrimp, accompanied by the tang of caramelized onions, and pickled jalapeños, and thousand island. Melted jack provides a slightly gooey texture with a mild, salty taste.
🥣 Tuna Tini
This appetizer bows features ahi tuna that’s seared on all sides for a consistent, cooked coating. The raw center provides a buttery smooth bite. Asian slaw topped with diced avocado serves as the centerpiece, drizzled with sweet chili glaze for a sweet-savory flavor.
🍤 Shrimp & Grits
The Voodoo Shrimp & Grits channel Louisiana roots, featuring chargrilled shrimp wrapped in bacon. Each bite of shrimp holds a complex flavor, with a smokey, salted taste accented by the sweetness of chili glaze. The bed of corn grits is creamy and subtle to give the bacon-wrapped shrimp the spotlight.
🐟 Mahi
The Mardigras Mahi features blackened mahi on bed of creamy corn grits for a southern flavor. The dish is elevated with a crawfish mushroom sauce that held a savory flare. The fish is topped with standing onion strings, providing a unique presentation to a traditional Nola specialty.
Walk-On’s Sport Bistreaux provides a family-friendly and high energy environment that’s perfect for watching a big game. Several large-screen televisions are mounted throughout the restaurant, with tableside beers on tap. Through this new normal, servers and hosts are wearing masks with socially-distanced tables and outdoor seating options. Unlike an average sports bar, Walk-On’s delivers high quality dishes with a Nola twist!
