Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux Opens First Tuscaloosa Location

TUSCALOOSA, AL — Tuscaloosa's newest eatery officially opened its doors on Monday after Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux held a soft opening on Friday. The occasion was marked with a ribbon-cutting by the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama Monday morning.

Started by a pair of former LSU men's basketball walk-on athletes, opened the first Walk-On's location on Sept. 9, 2003 in the shadow of LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, which has since expanded to more than 40 restaurant concepts across the country.

The 8,000-square-foot Tuscaloosa location is operated by franchisee Shane Morrison, with two restaurants currently open in Alabama (Montgomery and Mobile) and nine total as the brand continues to grow.

Hours of operation for the new restaurant are Sunday through Thursday (11 a.m. — 11 p.m.) and Friday through Saturday (11 a.m. — midnight).
