Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux - Purdue Restaurant

Walkon's is not as popular as it used to be, but it still serves enjoyable meals. As a Purdue student and frequent visitor, I noticed several major changes. In 2025, the restaurant updated the menu with new dishes, including the lemon butter chicken (one of my personal favorites), while some dishes were gone from the menu, like the Mexcian-style cajundillas. I also have heard from the employees that the restraurant is ocasionally understaffed, which may lead to early closure. It's a diasppointment to not enjoy dishes that were once on the menu, but nonetheless it offers meals that will make anyone's day.

If you’re on a schedule I do not recommend going here. Our server was nice but rarely around. We waited for our food over 30 minutes after ordering and ended up having to leave without eating it because we had an event to get to. As someone who works in the industry it just felt poorly managed. The restaurant was busy but only about 75% of tables occupied. All the tables near me had empty glasses and/or dirty plates. Everyone was waiting for something. A refill, food, their bill. It’s a good location and the staff was nice enough. It just isn’t efficient and I can’t speak to the food because I didn’t get any.

I probably won't ever go back. We got there a little after 7pm on a Friday. It wasn't that busy and we didn't wait long. We ordered our food, one appetizer and 3 entrees. We waited a really long time only for 2 of us to get our food, they forgot our appetizer, and we sat there for awhile just to get our silverware. The third food entree was wrong and they had to completely remake it. So needless to say we didn't get to eat together. The guy who took our order never came back after taking the order. They had to completely comp our meal, which was good because I was pissed enough with the complete lack of acknowledgement, missing appetizer and wrong entree. Then I had to walk up to the bar, just to stand there cuz apparently I'm invisible. We were the last people in the dining area (only pp

We used Walk On for our team meals. Meals were ALWAYS done on time, fresh, and efficient. Meals were marked for each player and the selection was huge. We appreciate the ease of meals for Harrison girls basketball season. We look forward to working with you again.

Food was very tasty. We had chicken tenders & a burger & hush puppies! Everything was cooked hot & fresh & tasty! The restaurant was clean with a good amount of seating.
