• Build regulars—learn names, make connections, and be the reason guests come back.
• Keep it clean—wash glassware, wipe down surfaces, and maintain a bar that looks as good as it runs.

REQUIREMENTS

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is more than just a place to grab a bite to eat—it’s a story of heart, hustle, and the underdog spirit.

Our journey started in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, when two LSU walk-on basketball players turned their dream into reality. With no scholarships, no guarantees, and no spotlight, they built their success the same way they built Walk-On’s: through hard work, teamwork, and never giving up. That drive has grown from a single restaurant into a nationally recognized brand, but we’ve never lost sight of our roots. At Walk-On’s, we pride ourselves on scratch-made dishes with a Louisiana flair, a fun and welcoming game-day atmosphere, and a culture that treats every team member like family.

We believe that everyone—from the kitchen to the floor, from the host stand to management—has an important role to play in creating unforgettable guest experiences. When you join Walk-On’s, you’re joining a team that values energy, passion, and pride in every shift. We celebrate wins together, push through challenges side by side, and make sure our guests feel like part of the team, too. This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to be part of a winning culture where you can grow, shine, and help carry on the Walk-On’s tradition of turning hard work and hospitality into something truly special.

Our Core Values at Walk-On’s: Teamwork – Every role matters, and we win together. Hospitality – We deliver unforgettable experiences with genuine care. Passion – We hustle hard, bring energy, and take pride in what we do. Growth – We invest in our people, offering opportunities to learn and advance. Community – We support and celebrate the neighborhoods we serve.
