## Story

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama fans are about to have a new go-to destination to cheer on the Crimson Tide when Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux makes its Tuscaloosa debut on Monday, May 31.

Located at 675 Skyland Blvd., the new Walk-On’s restaurant will kick off its grand opening celebration with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the West Alabama Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. To add to the excitement, guests can enter a drawing for the chance to win free Walk-On’s for a year! Walk-On’s Tuscaloosa will accept entries through its Facebook page and in the restaurant during its first full month of business and will announce the winner the week of June 28.

“We are thrilled to bring Walk-On’s to Tuscaloosa,” said Franchisee Shane Morrison. “There’s nothing like our authentic, mouthwatering Cajun cuisine in the area, so I’m confident that Walk-On’s will be a hit. Plus, our game-day atmosphere is perfect for cheering on the Crimson Tide. We’ve hired 200 winning All-American team members and we can’t wait to celebrate our grand opening with everyone next week. Roll Tide!”

When Tuscaloosa’s first Walk-On’s opens, it will mark the fourth in Alabama and 52nd systemwide.

Walk-On’s Tuscaloosa will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight.

At Walk-On’s, each dish is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients to bring its mouthwatering, Cajun cuisine to life. The diverse menu features unique twists on game-day staples and upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays, such as Crawfish Etouffee, Duck & Andouille Gumbo and Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding.
