Whether you are hungry for a salad, appetizer, dessert, entree, or all of the above, Walk-On’s has the best variety and most delicious food! Personal favorites: spinach & artichoke dip, lemon butter chicken, ribeye po-boy (extra garlic aoli), and chocolate chip cookie sundae. This review would not be complete without a shout-out to my favorite, friendly servers and managers: Kip, Chris, Maddie C and Jacob S - ALWAYS attentive, efficient, and kind!

Verona Italian Restaurante 3805 Halsey St, Alexandria Italian • $$

“Food was wonderful, our waitress Dana was very nice and really gave us a good experience. She knew her menu very well. The only complaint I would have is that the lady whom was behind the register continuously gave our table looks I’m assuming because of the fact that we weren’t dressed up like everyone else. We were visiting family in town and saw the good reviews and wanted to try it out. I would definitely recommend this establishment only due to the great food and great service we had, other aspects weren’t the greatest and left us feeling uncomfortable throughout our meal. We later found out that the lady that kept walking by our table and glaring at us was the owner from customers that dine there often.”

“I can NOT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS about the Mother’s Day buffet. My family enjoyed the phenomenal Easter buffet and looked forward to the Mother’s Day; let me say, we were impressed once again. So many wonderful things I could not sample everything but here are my favorites 1. The eggs Benedict … this delicious golden yolk cascaded down, mingling with the silky thyme hollandaise to infuse into the soft English muffin…. Absolute delish!!! 2. The shrimp and grits …. Perfectly cooked spicy shrimp with Gouda grits was a testimony to why southern Louisiana cuisine reigns supreme …. And the Monica sauce elevates it to elegance while still your tummy is pampered with down home comfort. 3. The fried fish! This is a chef’s secret because it was not traditional fried fish. Whatever the secret, it delivered scrumptiousness in every crispy tender bite! Oh and don’t forget the homemade tartar sauce! 4. …… and the perfectly cooked Prime Rib! with the amazing horseradish sauce to complement … definitely a show stopper 5. The ambiance…. The service as always great …..Which seems to be part of the family atmosphere….. and the soft jazz …..taking it from just dining with family to Mother’s Day memories”

Onion rings and Mac and cheese were also excellent, though the Mac serving was a little smaller than expected.

McDonald's 3915 S MacArthur Dr, Alexandria Fast Food • $

“Manager keeps it ship-shape. Clean, quiet, privacy (if needed) because hardly no one dines in anymore. At least for me, helps my anxiety problems because I can duck off in the corner with my back up against the wall and actually focus on the food and the taste. Instead of focusing on everything behind me where I can't see too well. Plus, their soda machine is a thing of beauty. U can add whatever to whatever. Make any drink combo u wish to. Just saying, a strawberry, cherry, pineapple Dr. Pepper is off the chain. But there are tons more options of soda types, and tons of flavors you can add to it ?...

Parking: Across the street from M. S. U. so those of you that are about to go to college, pick our campus because the Mickey D's fries are off the chain! That being said, there is usually 1 to 5 vehicles parked there. (At least 2 are workers so they are in the employee parking, so your options are wide open

Kid-friendliness: They have the cardboard crowns all over the place in there.P. S. You don't have to be a kid to get one.... lol

Wheelchair accessibility: Close to the door and plenty of room. Plus the ramp has a low slope to it so when I push my mother-in-law's wheelchair up it, it's very easy.”

On top of the price point being perfect! This morning, I was heading to run an errand and since I was on the other side of town I thought I would make a stop at another local coffee shop off Versailles to save some time. Let me just say it was the worst idea ever. Their muffin was definitely store bought and had a lasting taste of cardboard. The frozen coffee had huge ice chunks on top of tasting like water. I ordered a small because I knew this was my first time trying them. The small frozen coffee and cardboard muffin was more expensive than your medium, perfectly blended, fresh, frozen coffee and your supper tasty homemade muffin. I am forever a loyal customer to little cakes! I came back across town because I couldn't go without my favorite coffee and muffin combo!!”

“My family loved to talk to me about how good this place is and after trying it myself I can say it isn't half bad. It's very authentic and the establishment has a nice vibe despite its size and location. The workers are nice despite the language barrier and you can tell they care about their food. The menu was a bit much and the prices are extremely overtuned for what they're serving and I found myself somewhat surprised upon seeing it. Also inside the establishment there wasn't much accessibility atleast not for my group at the time of entering; the tables are extremely small there were no napkins or tissues present so eating inside was overall a messy uncomfortable experience but admittedly it made me feel at home in a way. I'm guessing it isn't always like this since some pictures show napkins but I digress. Overall I do recommend coming here if you want homemade authentic Mexican cuisine prepared by hardworking cooks. Note: Their chips were superb and had they have the best beans I've eaten at a Mexican establishment. ¡Excelente!”

I tried to tough it out but it was too much and I had a panic attack. Of course my triggers and emotional state is not the fault of the family nor the establishment. However it was so severe and embarrassing we had to leave before our food was brought out and cooked. My husband spoke with the manager letting him know we needed to leave and he was very kind. He even told us when we are ready to let him know and he'd be happy to welcome us back. Well two months later I was and he sat us all by ourselves and made sure we had an amazing time. Our waiter and chef were amazing too. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the manager and the kindness he showed us!”

“We order Fiery Crab often. I love their catfish, but the last couple of times, the fish tasted really fishy and stale. The tender are usually great also, but really tiny and stale the last couple times also during lunch. I will try again tho because they're 1 of the places in town with real catfish that's usually fresh n tasty. ?”

“That was the BEST sirloin steak I ever ate in my life! From the hostess who seated us to the server name Rhashonda… We ordered “The Logan” sirloin steak and coconut shrimp from the Logan’s Luau Menu. Whoever the cook is almost got me fired from my home position because I cannot cook a steak that is that good! We both ordered it medium rare and it was on point!”

“My husband and I along with our two grandchildren ate at Chilis this past weekend after our baseball tournament. Our waitress was Monica she was absolutely amazing. Bless her heart it appeared she was the only waitress there but she made sure all of her tables were very well taken care of, along with sitting people coming in, and getting food and drinks out in a very timely manner. Her great attitude and and passion for her job will be our reason to come back. Shout out to Ms. Monica thanks again for making this our best experience ever!!!”

“Walk-On’s Alexandria is my favorite restaurant in the area. Whether you are hungry for a salad, appetizer, dessert, entree, or all of the above, Walk-On’s has the best variety and most delicious food! Personal favorites: spinach & artichoke dip, lemon butter chicken, ribeye po-boy (extra garlic aoli), and chocolate chip cookie sundae. This review would not be complete without a shout-out to my favorite, friendly servers and managers: Kip, Chris, Maddie C and Jacob S - ALWAYS attentive, efficient, and kind! Keep making dining out a great experience!”

“I can NOT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS about the Mother’s Day buffet. My family enjoyed the phenomenal Easter buffet and looked forward to the Mother’s Day; let me say, we were impressed once again. So many wonderful things I could not sample everything but here are my favorites 1. The eggs Benedict … this delicious golden yolk cascaded down, mingling with the silky thyme hollandaise to infuse into the soft English muffin…. Absolute delish!!! 2. The shrimp and grits …. Perfectly cooked spicy shrimp with Gouda grits was a testimony to why southern Louisiana cuisine reigns supreme …. And the Monica sauce elevates it to elegance while still your tummy is pampered with down home comfort. 3. The fried fish! This is a chef’s secret because it was not traditional fried fish. Whatever the secret, it delivered scrumptiousness in every crispy tender bite! Oh and don’t forget the homemade tartar sauce! 4. …… and the perfectly cooked Prime Rib! with the amazing horseradish sauce to complement … definitely a show stopper 5. The ambiance…. The service as always great …..Which seems to be part of the family atmosphere….. and the soft jazz …..taking it from just dining with family to Mother’s Day memories”

“This place kind of reminds me of the waffle house. The food here is better than the waffle house.

I have only eaten at the waffle house once, but I would eat here again and again.

Our server from Tunk's told us this is the breakfast place in Alexandria. This place didn't disappoint, and the food came out hot and fast.

It's a little honky-tonk for me, and that's why the atmosphere rating is low. Everything else is amazing... especially the food!!!”

“We stopped in for lunch today, and the special was meatloaf. It was to die for! All the sides looked wonderful, and between the two of us, hubby and I sampled the mashed potatoes, rice, gravy, green beans, Mac and cheese, mustard greens, and yams. Everything was just like our mamas cooked it. Friendly dining area, and you just cannot go wrong with a stopover when you're in town. Love it!”

“I want to give 4 1/2 or 3/4 stars so I’m rounding up. We were in town for the day and found Koal’s so I placed an online order. It was completed faster than estimated. It was a great value for the money. The biggest issue was I ordered the slaw on the side of my PB&J and it was missing from my order. The brisket was also a little dry but mixed with the rest of the sandwich it was fine. That being said, if I ever found myself in Alexandria again I would absolutely come back.”
