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.

    Mixed feedback from party of 4. Appetizers and salads were good. Two entrees good, two were not. Service started out great but once meals arrived she disappeared. Coffee and Irish coffee were both cold! For about 100/pp with tax and tip Would not return

    Gaidos was once a gem of a restaurant. It has unfortunately been in a state of decline. Friends and family told me to go elsewhere but I wanted to give it another try. It was disappointing. Will not be going back until it undergoes a change in the back and front of the house.
