Its 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 .

The 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!

The 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.

Every 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?

Buy a couple of whammies for $13 each and party all night long... well at least until 2am. Nice place, good music . Spring Break madness.

Try the fruit , shrimp and rice and the crab legs from the buffet . The Prime rib wasn't very good.

I 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!

The buffet won't blow your hair back but it's got the necessities. Best sunset views .

Food, music , sunsets ... 'nuff said! Excellent service in the restaurant !

Got 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.

Good week night specials on food. Basic bar fare but tasty.

On spring break in March hit the downstairs bar for immediate service says Inertia Tours Chad

Crazy good buffet is only like $20. Includes crab legs , shrimp , and prime rib . Totally worth it!

Nice Buffet for 21$. Try Snow Crab and the ribs .

Miss this place sooooo much! It has certainly changed but still feels like "home". Miss my buds kailey, moe, Joe, Stacey, heather, Tiffany, chris, Joey. . .

The buffet is definitely worth it! Food was good, service was great...kudos to Josh :)

Service is good food is good. Great atmosphere!!!

This 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.

The place is cool! Service is great! But in January is full of snowbirds!

Try the scallops on the Seafood Buffet !!

Scenic view ! Good music !

DJ 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

Great view for fireworks . Get a table outside .

Ask the most infamous bartenders on the island , Moe, to hook you up. Tell him Rob sent you.

Avoid this place for anything other than beers and sunset .

Seafood buffet only $17.99 Monday thru Thursday

Worst 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

All you can eat seafood buffet is amazing! Primer rib , crab legs , fish , shrimp , scallops ... incredible!

Good music and great mix of people

Gotta try Charlie's cherry !!

Buffet was ok, but the sunset was great.

Practically 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.

Quite good food as always!

Crab stuffed jalapeños

Seafood buffet is amazing

Great karaoke

Get the Trashcan Punch. You'll only need one!!

The women's restrooms are as dirty as the ladies.......yesssssssss

Nice view of Bay

Wait staff at "fine dining " downstairs are attractive , but reeeal rude. Upstairs much more friendly and it's more chill .

View was great, food was really bad....

9pm fireworks !

No 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 .

Better to eat at the bar

Sherri is the best bartender !!!!
