Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar is a Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based restaurant chain that operates a sports-bar–style dining concept under the Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar brand. The company was founded in 2003 by Brandon Landry and Jack Warner, two walk-ons from Louisiana State University's basketball team, and opened its first location near LSU's Tiger Stadium. It expanded from southern Louisiana into a franchised network and pursued national growth, with NFL quarterback Drew Brees joining as a co-owner. In 2012, ESPN named Walk-On’s the #1 Sports Bar in America, reflecting industry recognition. The organization employs roughly 501 to 1,000 people and reports revenue in the range of $25 million to $50 million, while continuing expansion with new locations announced in Lexington, Kentucky, and Cypress, Texas, alongside reports of at least one location closure in Mobile, Alabama.
