Louie's Backyard - South Padre Island

The staff was friendly, and waiting hours were reasonable. I ordered the Big Texas Burger, although I got the Hinterhof Burger. The burgers are pretty similar anyway. The food was good, especially the Pommes. The prices were not bad for the island. A pretty good visit.

The grilled shrimp plate thing. It was pretty alright. I added lots of extra lemons and pretty positive that was a white sticky rice and not a rice pilaf..it was a massive portion of rice. I thought the menu read that seafood came with all you can eat salad buffet but was respectfully corrected it is only one trip. There menu was so small. So it’s possible it has a rotating menu. The lowest priced thing besides kids meal was $23 Alfredo (which I would go with if I go next time). Great environment, wonderful sunset, good service!

We ate here our first night on the island. There are two sides to this place, one side is for people who want the buffet and the other is for regular menu. We sat on the side for menu. The sunset from here is gorgeous! Which was just what we needed because we had booked a sunset cruise and the boat changed the time and didn't call to let us know. We enjoyed our meal, the fish tacos were fantastic, but our server was a bit of a space cadet. No worries, though since we just happy to be on island time!

Beautiful place to eat and watch the sunset. Overall seafood buffet was a 4 out of 5. A decent selection of food but the crab legs were not exactly hot when served. The selection and taste of the shrimp was amazing. The vegetable selection was ok, but the music and atmosphere around the water was memorable.

Had a nice dinner and drinks at Louie’s backyard bar with my husband. We drank the loaded margaritas, and they were delicious, Cool ambiance and music. But what made it truly special was our server/ bartender Erica- she was such a nice gal. You can see her positivity radiating. Definitely visit this bar when you’re in South Padre.
