Tony TAugust 8, 2017Its hard to beat all-you-can-eat snow crab legs but Loui's Backyard takes it a step further with the addition of all-you-can-eat Prime Rib, BBQ Ribs, and all kinds of prepared fish & shrimp!!!
- The buffet is a comprehensive winner, however if you're not feeling up to it there are some amazing entrée items. Get the Pecan Encrusted Red Snapper! Great service and beautiful views of the sunset.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013The outdoor bar and deck provides the perfect place to end your night on South Padre Island with a beautiful view of the Friday firework show over the ocean!
Kira MaixnerMarch 21, 2015After you're done eating, check out the jet ski rentals in the area. You're right on the water, so why not?! Use GetMyBoat. SO MANY OPTIONS! Read more
Damon HardyJuly 22, 2013The cheapest thing on the menu is $18 and only 8 dinners to choose from. Your led to believe the seafood buffet is spectacular but it's a bunch of fried junk that ask tastes the same for $21.
Keith KerrAugust 4, 2017Try the fruit, shrimp and rice and the crab legs from the buffet. The Prime rib wasn't very good.
TanoJune 11, 2011Every bad spring break/jersey shore cliche wrapped up in a tight little package with a big red green and white bow. Keep drinking. Ya dig ese?
Andrea GrimesSeptember 14, 2014The buffet won't blow your hair back but it's got the necessities. Best sunset views.- Luis Ricardo HdzMarch 17, 2015Buy a couple of whammies for $13 each and party all night long... well at least until 2am. Nice place, good music. Spring Break madness.
Lisa Montag Best RushSeptember 5, 2015Food, music, sunsets... 'nuff said! Excellent service in the restaurant!
Leslie MartinMay 31, 2016I don't know how this place is ranked #2! You almost have to order the buffet just to find something that is tolerable! Everything is spicy. Prime Rib was extra chewy. What a disappointment!
Scott McArthurMay 15, 2012Crazy good buffet is only like $20. Includes crab legs, shrimp, and prime rib. Totally worth it!
Mark CanalesJune 8, 2013DJ plays old same songs and not involved with the crowd. Drinks over priced and cash only bar. It's pretty much a place where guys are trying to pick up any girl they can find
Irish B.August 5, 2012The buffet is definitely worth it! Food was good, service was great...kudos to Josh :)
Kelly Hall Brister SammonsSeptember 17, 2022Worst place ever!!! Drinks are weak and the service is more than awful. Go to Wanna Wanna for a fabulous dining and drinking experience. Orders were wrong and the waitress forgot part of our order
Paige SikkemaNovember 26, 2011Miss this place sooooo much! It has certainly changed but still feels like "home". Miss my buds kailey, moe, Joe, Stacey, heather, Tiffany, chris, Joey. . .
Zuriel BarronSeptember 24, 2018This place is a dump. If you like expensive food while surrounded by the smell of trash, this is your place. Otherwise, there is every other place in the island that you should go to.
On spring break in March hit the downstairs bar for immediate service says Inertia Tours Chad
Andres CalderonJanuary 26, 2016Got arrested and the bail was 600, reason: I forgot my wallet at the hotel. Seen other fellow countrymen getting arrested as well for drinking alcohol to excess.

- All you can eat seafood buffet is amazing! Primer rib, crab legs, fish, shrimp, scallops... incredible!
Ryan HelmsJune 17, 2012Practically strip-searched to get in. Horrible music and atmosphere. Good thing the drinks are strong. Drunk is about the only way this place is fun.
Kayley HendrixJuly 2, 2011Wait staff at "fine dining" downstairs are attractive, but reeeal rude. Upstairs much more friendly and it's more chill.
Ask the most infamous bartenders on the island, Moe, to hook you up. Tell him Rob sent you.
AllieApril 28, 2012No draft beers, no frozen margaritas, no split bills for parties over 5 people, rude & inexperienced waitstaff. Honestly one of, if not the most, worst experience I've had at a restaurant.
Ruth CeniserosAugust 12, 2017Not a good choice if you have young children. The place is way understaffed and our waitress was rude.
