Obviously a sports bar
sells atmosphere, but they really can't do that now so I stopped by to
try their curbside service. Ordered through GrubHub and it was ready
when I arrived. A smiling young woman in a cheerleader outfit came out
to check my order when I pulled in, and another brought my order to the
car. It is good to know they are keeping some servers on.
I
tried a full selection--boudin balls, duck & andouille gumbo, a Boom
Boom shrimp po boy with fries, and beignets for dessert.
I'll
start with dessert since if you order beignets that's what you should
do. Eat them in the car on the way home. They are amazing when fresh.
The
boudin balls were pleasingly different, the filling was inside a very
light shell so they handled easily. They came with a very tasty butter
sauce with a bit of a kick and a bit of lemon. The boudin balls
themselves were nice and spicy. Very good, I would eat those anytime.
The
duck & andouille gumbo was the highlight of the meal. The meaty
flavors of the duck and sausage combine for a real umami bomb. The roux
was perfect, the whole thing blended beautifully. You need to try
this.
The po' boy was OK. Hot sandwiches in an enclosed bag get
kind of soft. The Boom Boom sauce was great, complemented the shrimp
well. The shrimp themselves were a little soft and fishy, but supplies
are tricky right now. I would go with an entree next time. Fries were
fine, well cooked.
Walk On's is preparing family dinners now, as
well as their entrees. It's pricey for takeout, but very well executed
so you won't be disappointed.
