Louie's Backyard

"Cold inside as outside was about 37. Food was cold. Plates cold. Inside on the 1st floor it seemed run down outdated. 2nd floor was updated, very nice looking and huge with 5 separate eating areas. 1st floor was the buffet, 2nd was a bar with live music. The buffet didn’t impress me. There was many options and most likely you will find foods you like. 2 of the scrimp I liked, some the bbq, not so much the prime rib, somewhat good the crab legs. The pictures are from upstairs"

"We went here for our last dinner on our vacation and was not disappointed at all. This place is huge, has plenty of seating, and is right on the water!! You can expect a great view from almost anywhere outside! The mixed drinks are a bit on the expensive side, but very good! I ordered the pecan encrusted red snapper with fries and it was awesome!! Highly recommend experiencing this place if you are on south padre island, especially during the sunset!"

"Buffet: $32 adults, $15 kids from 4-11yrs. I went there yesterday, It has a really good atmosphere. The waitress was very friendly and attentive she could also speak Spanish/English. They don't have many food options in the buffet, and they serve the food to you, which is fine in my opinion. There are flies everywhere and it's very hot outside, BUT the view is irresistible. The inside of the restaurant has AC, but the wait time was around 20/30 minutes. Restrooms are fine, nothing fancy, definitely clean. Recommend for friends and adults, not to children since they might not eat as much."
