Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux

Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux is a Baton Rouge-based restaurant and sports bar chain that offers a unique dining experience combining Louisiana-inspired cuisine with an immersive sports atmosphere.

Founded in 2003 by Brandon Landry and Jack Warner, both former walk-on basketball players at Louisiana State University, the brand has rapidly expanded across the United States, with nearly 80 locations open and operating.

The concept of "Sports Bistreaux" was introduced to capture the essence of great sports and even better food, creating a distinctive category that blends the excitement of game days with high-quality, scratch-made dishes.

The menu features a diverse array of items including unique twists on game-day staples like the Smoked Gouda Turkey Burger, Boom Boom Shrimp PoBoy, and Cajundillas. It also offers upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays such as Crawfish Two Ways, Mardi Gras Mahi, and Duck and Andouille Gumbo.

Walk-On's commitment to community involvement is evident through initiatives like providing scholarships for walk-on athletes and supporting local organizations through their Give Back Program.

The brand's dedication to excellence has earned it recognition, including being ranked #1 in Sports Bars by Entrepreneur’s Best of the Best in 2024 and appearing in the Franchise Times Top 400 in 2023 and 2024.
