About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
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.

    Very disappointed. Service very slow, took 30 min to get a cocktail and order. Been here years ago. Food was not that good. Fried shrimp very small, but tasty. Oysters were not good, big and fried in flour not cornmeal, catfish ok...overall a big disappointment.

    We had an amazing server Justin. He told us about the chef’s special and a couple of his favorites and we didn’t even need menus. Food was outstanding (this was our second time) even the kids love this place.

    This is a very old-school seafood restaurant and it needs an update badly. Our entrees were a mixed seafood platter and softshell crabs. Food was decent. We ordered a side of creamed spinach that was terrible like something out of the 1950s. Mixed with cheese and artichokes. Yuck. Dessert was a good chocolate mousse. Our server was excellent. This place appears to be living in the past not 2025. Look elsewhere for contemporary ambience and higher quality food.

    My wife and I went expecting to order their wonderful red snapper, but I surprised myself by opting for an apple and Gouda stuffed pork chop. The thick, juicy pork chop was carefully butterflied and filled with a tantalizing mixture of baked apple and smoked cheese. An unforgettable meal!
