## Story

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Kissimmee is about to gain the ultimate game day experience complete with mouthwatering Louisiana cuisine when Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux makes its debut on Monday, Sept. 13!

Located at 3177 Black Lake Road, the new Walk-On’s restaurant will kick off its grand opening celebration with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Kissimmee Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. To add to the excitement, the first 100 guests in line will be entered in a drawing for the chance to win free Walk-On’s for a year! The winner will be drawn at random and announced on opening day.

“We can’t wait to bring the Taste of Louisiana to even more of the Sunshine State,” said Franchisee Craig Colby. “We look forward to establishing Walk-On’s as the restaurant of choice in Kissimmee, whether you’re going out for a family dinner, date night, drinks with friends or to watch a primetime matchup on the big screen. We’ve hired 200 winning All-American team members and we’re all looking forward to introducing our scratch-made food served in a family-friendly, game day atmosphere to Kissimmee. We can’t wait to celebrate this exciting grand opening with everyone on Monday!”

When Kissimmee’s first Walk-On’s opens, it will mark the seventh in Florida and 57th systemwide. Walk-On’s Kissimmee 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.
