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.

    Amazing sea food. We had the flounder fish and red mullet. Both cooked to perfection. Great service.

    Went for my birthday and we were treated very well. Our food and service was amazing and they treated me with a free desert and decorated the plate with "Happy Birthday. Would highly recommend.

    We chose to celebrate our 17th anniversary at Gaidos. They went out of their way to make it special. We asked to have our salmon cooked a teeny bit longer (though it tasted amazing) and they made us new plates! We did not expect that at all. Wow it was good! Then they complimented us with a dessert. Double wow! The wine was perfect! We could not have asked for a better evening. Kudos Gaido's!!! Wonderful waiter and manager....thanks guys! Our only complaint had nothing to do with the restaurant....the table next to us was loud but we managed to have a nice, romantic evening anyway.

    This was my favorite seafood restaurant in Galveston. Previously we have eaten here during the week and a major difference in service and food. This time we chose our motel to be close to the restaurant and boy were we dissatisfied. The stuffed flounder was mushy and my dish had no flavor. I will likely not return.

    We went to support the Restaurants weeks. 3 of my party had the same dish & got sick that night. Gaidos has not done anything to rectify the situation. We have called them several times let them know. I hate for someone else to get sick

    So we booked Wednesday at Landry’s, Thursday at Gadios and had Friday night booked for Laundry's again. Because Gadios was so good on Thursday we cancelled Landry's and booked Gadios again. The food was excellent are waiter was first class but the night was completely spoiled by a very tall, complete with mustache waiter serving the adjacent tables. He was extremely loud and completely ruined the ambience of the restaurant. One expects the staff at a restaurant such as Gadios to have enough common sense not to spoil the ambience for others around them. Stephen Conway
