About Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux
Like many good ideas, the concept for Walk-On's was born on a road trip. While traveling throughout the SEC, Jack & Brandon happened to visit quite a variety of restaurants and bars. In fact, the first concept for the restaurant was literally drawn on a napkin in an airplane flying back from a game at the University of Tennessee.

Walk-On’s founders Brandon Landry and Jack Warner became fast friends as a pair of walk-ons (unrecruited and unsigned athletes) on the Louisiana State University basketball team. Without a lot of true playing time, Brandon and Jack were able to discover that their interests and hopes went beyond the basketball court. While traveling across the country, they were able to visit some of the best restaurants and sports bars and began to recognize the need for such a concept in Baton Rouge, especially near LSU. Their idea began to take shape 35,000 feet above the earth as they sketched the vision for a floor plan on the back of a napkin while the team flew home from a road game.
Walk-On's is BornDespite having little business experience and even less financial backing, Brandon and Jack were determined to create a business environment built on culture and the idea that everyone on the team was needed and mattered as much as the next guy - play for the name on the front, not on the back mentality. On September 9, 2003, their dream became a reality as Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar® opened for business in the shadows of LSU’s Tiger Stadium.
Winning Today, Tomorrow, and BeyondSuccess in sports and success in life often come from similar paths. Now as the Founder & CEO of Walk-On’s, Brandon Landry has turned the traits he learned as a college basketball walk-on into virtues that he shares freely with everyone on the Walk-On’s team. Today, with over 100 locations in the works across 15 states, the sky is the limit. Walk-On’s operates with a mission of delivering a memorable game day experience with a taste of Louisiana created by an All-American team. Brandon regularly and proudly shares his goal with everyone on his team – To Win!
