Changing stripes: LSU athlete brings cajun tastes with new go-to destination for ‘Cheering on the Rebs’
Published 6:19 am Tuesday, November 30, 2021
The Oxford community will soon have their new go-to restaurant for fresh Cajun and Americana cuisine served in a game day atmosphere when Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux makes its debut on Monday, Dec. 6.
Based in Baton Rouge, Walk-On’s was founded in 2003 by former LSU walk-on basketball player— and now Walk-On CEO— Brandon Landry. Leaning on the true spirit of a walk-on and building a winning culture, the brand is rapidly across the United States.
The new Walk-On’s restaurant will kick off its grand opening celebration at the new location 1735b University Avenue with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Oxford Chamber of Commerce and Landry at 10 a.m
To add to the excitement, the first 100 guests in line will be entered into 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.
When Oxford’s first Walk-On’s opens, it will mark the third in Mississippi and 59th systemwide. Walk-On’s Oxford 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, Louisiana 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.
