Walk-Ons is a new sport bar (listed as a sports bistreaux) in Southaven on Snowden Lane a few blocks south of Goodman Road behind the Kroger. I think it's been open five or six weeks.
I went there a few weeks ago for the first time right after they first opened but didn't have a particularly good time, which I will explain. I went back about two weeks later and my experience was much better.
The first time I ordered boneless buffalo wings and alligator bites and the second time I ordered I ordered a jalapeño burger and alligator bites.
Here's what happened the first time: I ordered boneless buffalo wings and apparently the waitress interpreted that as boneless wings with no sauce. That said however, when I asked if they item was correct after she brought she apologized and asked if I wanted her to bring me the buffalo sauce or have the item remade. Mistakes happen. That's no big deal I just wanted to mention it in order to be honest in my review. The chicken was tender and crispy and the buffalo sauce was pretty good. I think it would have been better if they had fixed it correctly however, as I said they were good.
Also worth noting, the first time it was extremely loud inside. Not because of music but people were being extremely loud and I mean like ridiculously loud. Not "if it's too loud you're too old" but just crazy loud. People were screaming for no apparent reason. It was literally hard to concentrate and that may also be part of the reason the waitress misunderstood my order. I have also heard a couple of other people say similar things about the noise level.
The alligator bites were really good as well both times and the jalapeño burger was really good and the second visit was much better.
I was originally unsure if I would go back but the shop where I get my hair cut is directly next door to the restaurant and last week after getting my hair cut I decided to give a try during lunch time and the visit was much more pleasant.
The prices were fairly reasonable for a newer restaurant in that part of town. I think my total both times was around $40 including a drink and tax.
I definitely liked the food and would recommend them with the caveat that as far as noise levels are concerned, if that bothers you, you will probably have a better time if you go during the day instead of at night.
