A sports restaurant that features chicken, hamburgers, po’boys, desserts, cocktails, and other goodies opened Monday in Fishers.

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux has other locations on Grant Street in West Lafayette and on Lewis and Clark Parkway in Clarksville, just across the Ohio River from Louisville, Ky.

Walk-On’s opened a location in May 2023 in downtown Indianapolis in the 200 block of South Meridian Street. That location closed in January.

Former Purdue and NFL quarterback Drew Brees has previously been named as one of the financial backers of the franchise restaurant’s expansion. Walk-On’s franchise owners – Todd Johnson, Wade Kornblith, and NFL Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks, of Trident Hospitality – are opening the new location in Fishers.

A news release on the new Fishers location said, “The restaurant is located at 11655 Fishers Corner Blvd., in Fishers, IN and just a short drive from downtown Indianapolis.”

That address is northwest of the Interstate 69 interchange for 116th Street, and across the street from the Target department store at the former O’Charley’s Restaurant and Bar location.

Area chamber of commerce leaders and Walk-On’s operators held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday morning, followed by the opening.
