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.

    Richard was our server & was very polite, professional, helpful & kept our needs fulfilled at all tines. The food we had was cooked & served impeccable. Julie, the manager came by to check on us & was very friendly & expressed her appreciation of us coming to dine twice this week. Always a very good experience at Gaido's & will continue to visit when in Galveston.

    Amazing place! Came from Chicago for a birthday & late valentine day celebration. Contacted the restaurant days prior too see if they can place rose petals. They said not something they do. Sean went out of his way and personal time to get this setup. Table was beautiful and great accommodation. Our server Alattin was amazing. Great attitude and recommendations. The food was just as great and the Pecan pie was the best I have ever eaten!!!

    I always have the filet mignon....this is the first time in many years it was a little overcooked & a little dry. It was still good.

    My hubby loved the fried shrimp, my salad and baked potato were awesome! (I wasn't super hungry and am not a seafood lover) Fabulous drinks. Excellent service!
