They would have waited had we not done everything we could to get the initial invite. We went all in, and lost. Oh well, he doesn't work here anymore.Originally Posted by PawDawg
THE i-bowl SHOULD BE FORCED TO COMPLY WITH PUBLIC RECORD SUNSHINE REQUIREMENTS. The bowl apparently gets a $100,000 appropriation from Shreveport as well as the half million dollar sales tax. Shreveport should immediately require this in return for ANY MONEY OR CONSIDERATION and there ought to be penalties for failure to comply. A citizen should be able to get bylaws, communication records, look at salaries, invoices, contracts, travel records, EVERYTHING. Seems like so much is hidden and accountability ignored.
There's a couple of really good guys on their staff and the bowl should be worth saving, BUT major changes are needed AT TOP LEVELS.

I agree, their actual dollars contributed to the IB will be interesting to see. Looks like less than 20 locations.
Walk-ons is growing fast. Two years ago it was less than 5 locations. They're opening 4 in Austin alone. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Knoxville, Nahsville...In 10 years they'll be like Buffalo Wild Wings.
We just got one in Covington that opened last week. Wife and I tried to go last night but it was packed. I'll wait for the new to wear off a little.

I've eaten at the one in Shreveport a couple of times and haven't come away impressed.Picking up speed: Shane Morrison, owner of Baton Rouge-based commercial real estate firm The Shane Morrison Companies, has reached an agreement with Walk-On’s Enterprises for the rights to open eight additional restaurants across five Southeastern states. Morrison’s company broke ground in early June on its first Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar franchise location in Zachary. The agreement announced Monday will allow Morrison’s firm to open restaurants in Auburn and Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Gainesville, Pensacola and Tallahassee, Florida; Gulfport, Mississippi; and Knoxville and Nashville, Tennessee. Walk-On’s says the company also plans to open additional locations in Louisiana, but specifics were not provided in a news release. A timeline for the new restaurant openings was also not outlined. Along with the real estate firm, Morrison owns and operates company-owned Sante Fe Cattle Company restaurants, and locations of Cody’s Original Roadhouse and Celebrity Theaters. Walk-On’s says it has more than 50 franchise locations in the pipeline.
I usually get the voodoo shrimp with corn grits...and sweet potato fries. But a couple weeks ago I had the Hickory Burger with Waffle Cheese Fries and it was pretty darn good.
I never heard of Walk-On until this year. I heard on the news the opening of 5 locations in Arkansas.
Sounds like they are growing way too fast. No way they can keep up good management and service at that rate.
They have been growing at a rapid rate. I will say that as far as sports bar food its some of the best I have had!
The one in New Orleans was ranked the #1 Sports bar in the country,
They are franchised- at least I know some of them. People we know just opened the one in Tyler. The food is good, but the service is slow in Bossier, and it is always crowded.
Brings to mind the unacceptable excuse we often get in a busy places..."Sorry it took so long to get to you, but we are REALLY busy!"
Which is why no goes there any more? Just noticed the post almost identical to mine, but beat me to it.
