    Lemon flavored build your own boil bag. So good.
    Tina K.

    We love the build you own bag boil, had lemon flavored this time, perfect seasoning! We've had their pastas before too and they are very tasty also. The cook is always helpful and kind. One of our favorite places to eat at Union Grove location.

    Loaded fries

    I was never into Cajun food too much, UNTIL I had this place! Every single entree here bursts with authentic flavors right out of Louisiana! My personal favorites are any pasta on the menu, especially creating my own with chives, crawfish and chicken! Recently, I tried the loaded baked potato and was BLOWN AWAY at how savory it was! The fried baskets are seasoned and breaded perfectly everytime as well! I 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Cajun and Creole food!

    $10 ettouffee

    For a Central Texas town, Waco has a wonderful selection of Cajun delight- Armstrong is in "fierce" (really quiet friendly) competition with Cajun Craft, just down the road (figuratively, they're about a 5 min drive apart). Armstrongs has a wide selection of Cajun Classics: Exquisite Etouffee, Generous Gumbo, and Boudain Balls worth the trip alone. They also have a variety of loaded Potato and/or Fries if that's more your style. Perfectly spiced but not too spicy (hotter can be requested) Seafood that's perfect pretty far from the sea- and pasta dishes that NEVER disappoint. The best part? It's pretty affordable too- etouffee is just 10 bucks, Gumbo is 13 bucks but the portion is pretty large I'd give it a 100/5 if I could- DO NOT MISS ARMSTRONGS!! Also worth mentioning that they have a location at the Union Grove in Hewitt of 84 if you don't feel like going to downtown Service is pretty quick too, so you can get in an out during lunch!

    Service was slow and unorganized. My order was handed off to the wrong person and the issue was resolved poorly.

    It's not too pretty on the outside but like everyone says, "It's what's on the inside that counts!"…read moreGo ahead on in; you won't be sorry! I got the fish and shrimp platter. It comes with catfish but they let you choose your fish if you want something different! It comes with 2 sides so I got fries and fried okra. The fried okra was the star of that show for me! Also, I switched out the catfish for Blue Whiting. Everything was well seasoned and delish. My husband ordered the Blue Whiting platter which was 2 whiting filets and a side. He considered getting the etouffee so while we ate she brought out a small taste of it for us to sample for next time. (And there will be a next time!) The girl at the counter (owner??) is SO STINKIN NICE! My gosh, talk about great with customers! (Cutie with fun glasses.) It's about an hours drive from where we live but we're through Waco pretty regularly so we're looking forward to our next stop at Friday's. We'll try to get by on a Friday so we can try some of their GUMBO!

    Hello hello hello!! Let me start by saying I was blessed and impressed by this establishment. I had…read morea business meeting in Waco today and decided to find a different place to eat. I yelped this restaurant and did not know what to expect but the reviews were good. The young lady that greet me was polite and professional. She started with an introduction sample of etouffee, and just the smell as it passed into my hands made me smile. I decided to place an order and try the boudin balls, the crab cakes, this amazing banana foster cake, a big red, and a combination plate that had 3 fried shrimp, 3 fried oysters, hush puppies, grilled toast, and two large catfish fillets. Run, run do not casually walk to give this restaurant your money and your service. The hospitality was top tier, it's a very low key place, casual clothing but a first class experience. The young lady that took my order said her mother is the one in the kitchen hen behind the scenes waving her magic I would definitely recommend and will be back and bring a few family members when I return!!

    Been eyeing Walk-On's for awhile. They are super close to my job. So a coworker and I decided to…read moretry it today. We roll in at 11:30 am, we are seated, and Bailey is our server. Excellent service!! We started with two domestic beers (Miller/Bud light) my coworker mentioned his beer tasted off. So Bailey took the time and effort to run the line to see if it helped, with it being the first pour that morning. Above and beyond work ethic it fixed it his second beer was perfect. Quick service on refills, and attentiveness. Food: So many great looking options this is a Cajun inspired bistro, for me Cajun can be hit or miss especially in Texas. So I had my reservations. I ordered a app of Boudin Balls..... those things were great, coworker agreed. I then ordered the Hangover burger.....again messy, but savory and so well cooked, edges crispy, vegetables tasted fresh. Waffle fries were good crunchy, but soft in the center. My coworker got a order of Boom Boom shrimp to go, but we had to try a piece, a solid option, sweet, crunchy with a ever so slight spice. His entree was the Cajundilla, I expected it to be meh, chicken quesadilla right?!? But, it was cooked so well, and the seasoning was what carried it. Do not hesitate to go here, I can't wait to go back, and try more of the menu, they have so many great looking options from the Po Boys to the gator tacos it all looks good! Again with excellent service to boot!!

    My husband and I went to Walk-On's to grab a bite and relax, and while the atmosphere was nice, the…read moreservice was terrible! Our server rushed us to order, even after telling her it was our first time there. My husband wanted to order another drink after his first one was incorrect, but when we asked, we were suddenly told the cut off time had passed. That's something that shouldn't have been mentioned upfront. The server lacked customer Service skills, had little knowledge about the menu, and the wait for our food was way too long. Overall, a really disappointing experience. Another thing that pissed us off is that they started turning off the TVs in our section while we were still watching the fight that wasn't over yet AND the restaurant wasn't closing for another couple of hours. We definitely will not be returning to this location.
