About the restaurant

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.

Our server was awesome! The food was amazing. I started with shrimp bisque and had an entrée of Oysters Rockefeller. Both were perfection.

We love FW. We did not get offered bread, we had to ask for it after seeing another table receive it. Outside of that we loved the experience!

We enjoyed eating brunch outside on the Strand, though it was quite loud when large delivery trucks went by. But it did not detract from the experience. Highly recommend!
