We ended up here by chance. The food was very good. A bit over priced. The service was very slow. When we sat down we were 1 of 3 tables and it took a good 10 minutes to be greeted and get drinks ordered. Over all I think I would go back.

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.

We ordered the redfish and steak. Both were very good. We also had side garden salads that were very good and the perfect size. Our waiter, Estevan, was very friendly and helpful.
