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.

    Nice atmosphere with a table that appeared to be in a former vault. Service was friendly and helpful. Veal Picata and lasagne were delicious. Would definitely return.

    We started my birthday dinner with our fabulous server Sara bringing us bacon wrapped shrimp and empanadas from the happy hour menu and tuna nachos from the regular menu for all 5 of us to share. All the food was DELICIOUS!! We then moved to dinner and we had scallops, the filet, tuna tacos and a crab cake...all I can say is WOW!! Everyone loved their meal!! Scallops and steak perfectly cooked and seasoned. Then we finished with crème brûlée for my birthday treat!! Such a fun evening and lastly the cocktails/drinks were also amazing! Thank you Hearsay for making my birthday extra special!!

    Katie's is always a must stop dinner place for us when we come to Galveston. At our most recent visit, the food and service was beyond compare. Temporary food restrictions meant I thought I was not going to be able to enjoy my most favorite dish - their caldo. Erin, Veronica, and the chef set to work coming up with creative and tasty solutions that produced a caldo that I could enjoy. Their kindness and commitment to excellent customer service was exceptional.

    Quite possibly the best seafood meal we have eaten and we are from the Pacific Northwest. The oysters were amazing, the entrees were perfectly done and presented, and the pecan pie desert was incredible.
