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 most delicious meal while staying in Galveston. We decided to go family style and shared a 12 oz filet mignon, cream poblano corn and potatoes gratin. The filet was melt in your mouth tender. I started with a French onion soup which was one of the best I have had. Service was attentive though the tables are close together and noise level was high. The soup did take quite a long time but we did not complain. When it was time for dessert they brought us 2 complimentary treats and explained it was because of the delay on the soup. Would definitely return.

    Landry’s never fails to be a staple of Galveston’s dining scene, and tonight was no exception. The service was impeccable. Felipe, our server, was friendly and helpful during the entire dining experience. The food was excellent. The chef’s course pairings are very reasonably priced relative to the portion sizes and quality of the food served . I highly recommend the crab and shrimp tortellini.
