Tia Juanita's Fish Camp, Blue Dog Cafe, Restaurant 1910 . . . if I tried to write a post on every new dining establishment that has popped up in southwest Louisiana lately, my travel/adventure/miscellaneous blog would turn into a full-time restaurant review.
But every once in awhile, I feel compelled to share my "adventure" at a new restaurant in the area. Like today, for example.
Walk-On's Bistreaux and Bar opened up on Common St., Lake Charles this past weekend. It's a great new addition to the lake area restaurant scene!
The staff -- greeters, bar tenders, and the servers (aka America's Cheerleaders) -- are energetic, enthusiastic, and friendly.
While this family-oriented establishment is obviously a sports bar, the main attraction at Walk-On's is the menu. It's a surprisingly fascinating read! You might expect typical bar fare at a sports bar. But not at Walk-On's. There's plenty of Louisiana favorites; poboys, crawfish, fried alligator, boudin, gumbo, shrimp, catfish . . . as well as burgers, creative salads, wraps, and more.
On our first (and certainly not last) visit, I had a Pepper Jelly Spinach Salad and Bob had an Ahi Tuna Wrap. Both were excellent. For dessert? Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding! Oh, and did I mention there are 50 beers on tap?
Because this cool new place is within walking distance from our home, Bob says it's our new neighborhood bar. We'll be back.

Wow. Bread pudding made out of doughnuts. That's audacity!
Wait... fried alligator is a thing? A thing that people eat? I guess that's better than the other way around.
Yep, CHM. Fried alligator is very good! Tastes like chicken.
