Reviews for Walk-On's in Waco, TX
More like Walk-Offs? I just spent the day driving home to Waco, about a 7 hour drive. Didn?t want to have to cook at home this... evening, so stopped at Walk-Ons to grab a couple of burgers for my husband and I. We went in and ordered the burgers fortakeout at the bar. Decided to sit there while we waited. We were never offered water, had to ask for it. And then we watched asthe waitress sat in front of us putting lotion on her legs. She never went to wash her hands after. Health hazard? We waitedabout 15-20 min for the burgers to come out. Pretty average time I would say. Drove home, about a 10 minute drive, opened theburgers and to our dismay had extremely overcooked burgers and fries. I felt like Charlie Brown on the Great Pumpkin, ?Aww man,I got a rock?. Burnt. Hard. Complete let down. My husband proceeded to taste his and said it had zero flavor, if you could eventaste the flavor over the flambé patty. For a $15 burger I expect A LOT more. Read more
Excellent food! Took a little longer to be seated than seemed necessary. It wasn?t busy, just no employees were attentive to the... front door. Just about the time we were going to give up, the hostess showed up. It also took a while to get our food & ? It isa little pricey. But, all-in-all, it was worth the wait. Easy parking, nice staff, open atmosphere? and the food was GREAT! Read more
While the dishes we ordered may have been ok, one wasn?t as great. It was too dry and I failed to realize that this was because... they failed to add the crawfish sauce to my dish. I believe they can do better. Cannot expect too much from a location thathardly knows what they are doing but can only hope they get better with time. The manager, needs loads of training, the waitresswe had, is lacking umph. I believe that if you don?t do a good job as a waitress, then you cannot be one to work there as youpretty much are the face of the establishment. How they treat one is how one makes their assumptions about the rest, can?t sayour waitress was great but just like the manager, they need a lot of training! Couldn?t help but notice the sour faces we gotfrom them when we requested certain items or requested a change in channel as it is expected to be done in a sports bar. Willgive them a second chance but hopefully it is better than our first try here. Looking forward to trying out the other dishesthey may have available and hope they are better tasting. Heck, the best part of the experience, the cook personally came outand apologized for forgetting to add the crawfish sauce to my dish which he didn?t have to do! Read more
First time dining here and we will definitely be back! The hostess and our server was incredibly nice and service was quick. The... food was delicious, I ordered a burger with swiss cheese and my husband had the catfish plate. The burger was delicious and wellseasoned and my husband said the hush puppies were the best he'd ever tasted! The kids enjoyed playing in the small arcade areafor a bit. The view outside is very beautiful as well! (Side note) If you come on a Tuesday with kids, make sure to mention thefree kid's meal deal! We came on a Tuesday and we didn't know kid's eat free until after we checked out and saw advertisement onthe TVs about it and unfortunately we didn't get the discount as our server forgot to mention it to us.

5-22-22 UPDATE: We have been back three time since my original review. Food was great and service was good but not excellent. We... stopped in at about 4 pm Sunday and they were not crowded. Most people were at the bar and the bar area had about 6 tables withpeople. Our drink server came right away and got our drink orders and said that we would be awaited on shortly. We counted 12employees within the restaurant with two at the door, two behind the bar, one chatting with a customer who she obviously knew,one working her tail off and the others just walking around. We were ignored. After about 10 minutes the drink server came backand said that someone at the bar will be coming to take our order. Another ten minutes and a couple had just sat down beside usand the girl chatting with the customer came to take their drink order. We still had not ordered. I told my husband I would seewhat the server would do when she got done with the drink order for our neighbors and when she didn't even look at us (we werethree feet apart) that was it for me. I stopped her and ask for our drink order ticket and explained why. She said she was sorryto hear that and gave us our ticket. I paid and we left. NO WAY is this acceptable. LOVE the food. But I am not sure I will givethem another chance. I do not know what happened but the service was not what we expect nor should we have to. I am changing myrating from 5 stars to 1. Service is EVERYTHING. We have been wanting to go to Walk-Ons for awhile. We finally got the chanceand went Sunday for a late lunch. We were greeted at the door and asked where we would like to sit. Our only preference was atable. We were seated at the bar area and sat in bar heigh table and chairs which was perfect for us since my husband is verytall. Our server was a lovely young lady named Isabella. She was prompt, efficient and courteous. We ordered our drinks and foodand were served within 5 minutes. The food was excellent. We are still talking about Read more
We had a great time at Walk-On's! The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was great! We started with the Alligator Tail... appetizers which were amazing! After that came the Adult Grilled Cheese and the Spinach Artichoke Dip (which is what I got). Allvery good! Atmosphere and game corner impressed as well. Would recommend if you're looking for Southern food and live sports! Read more
Had the Mahi Mahi and honestly forgot I wasn't in Vegas while eating this. Great portion size and phenomenal flavor. Try the... gator bites appetizer, you won't regret it. Read more
