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.

    10 Year Anniversary and I am very happy that we chose Gaido''s. Kevin our waiter was fantastic, accommodating and very helpful. The Dessert at the end of the night was presented to us with Happy Anniversary, making it a special night to remember. Thank you.

    Food is awesome. There were a lot of people and it took some time to get drinks. However, it was worth it.

    My family has eaten at Guidos for over 40 years. We are never disappointed. The quality, portion size, and service are always top notched.

    Terrific food and a wonderful waitress named Christina. Remarkably fresh shrimp, crab, and redfish. We took the pecan pie home… Cheers to Gaido’s and congrats on the James Beard!
