The toast of the Texas coast.
How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

    Unfortunately we were sitting close to screaming kid. Food and service were good but the screaming kid ruined our evening. Sorry to say but, they should put families in separate rooms and not close to couples who wants to enjoy a nice evening.

    The crab cake appetizer is amazing. I made it my entree with their fabulous au gratin potatoes. My husband enjoyed an 8 oz. steak filet, asparagus and a huge wedge salad. Food was exceptional. Service from Richard was great. Ask for a seat by the window. Don’t forget to share their warm pecan crumble dessert with vanilla ice cream.

    This was my first time visiting Gaido’s. My wife and I went to celebrate a birthday. Andrew was our server and made the experience incredible. We will be going to Gaido’s every time we come to Galveston. Truly a 5 star meal from food to the experience.

    Food was excellent! Service provided with Marcelo was fantastic. Had a small delay with one of the items, manager came over and was very attentive and apologetic and made sure we were taken care of. Great experience overall.

    We went to their last reservation time of the night, and they treated us wonderfully. We never felt rushed and the service and food was amazing. Don’t let the outside deter you. The inside is lovely.

    It’s our first time in Galveston and we had read rave reviews of the restaurant so we decided to try it out. This was one of if not the BEST seafood meal we’ve ever had. Christina, our server, made several recommendations and they didn’t disappoint. We started with the shrimp and crab crostini that was absolutely delicious with plump shrimp and a delicious garlic herb better sauce. My husband had the pecan mahi make special and I had the red snapper with buerre blanc. Both were flavorful, and melted in your mouth. We also added the blue cheese grits which were so smooth and decadent. We had to bring dessert home because we were so full. Can’t wait to come back to this restaurant.
