The restaurant is absolutely beautiful—spacious, thoughtfully designed, and much larger than I anticipated. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegant and welcoming. Service was excellent; our waiter, Ben, was professional, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was also very good, with well-executed flavors and quality ingredients. Overall, a great experience and one I’d be happy to repeat.

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.
