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.

    The food and services were outstanding and I tried one of the chef’s specials. The crab Mac and cheese was amazing and something we get every time we go!

    Gaido’s perfectly combined old-fashioned design and hospitality with a modern menu offering. The food was some of the best we’ve had while the service and ambiance was perfect. This is a must when visiting Galveston!

    Our server was amazing, she had been there a few months, I can’t remember her name, curly short brown hair and white skin. I loved her enthusiam! I regularly eat at Gaido’s and haven’t seen her level of service. Like eye contact, as if we were the only ones there, took time for small talk and always prompt. Absolutely perfect!

    I have been a Galveston resident for 33 years and remember Gaidos from the past. Things are much different today. Tourist trap is the phrase that comes to mind. My bill for three people was over $326.45. The food quality and portion size were disappointing. My server was polite and pleasant but had too many tables, and the service was lacking, especially considering the price. I will not be going back.
