In 1998, Buddy Guindon, his wife Katie, and his brother Kenny opened Katie's Seafood Market in Galveston, Texas.

A producer contacted Guindon in the hopes of doing a reality show about his family business. In 2015, the reality show 'Big Fish Texas' came to life on National Geographic. As a supporter of the local economy, In September of 2019, Buddy opened Katie’s Seafood House, next to the market. Katie’s seafood market supplies the restaurant with all fresh seafood.

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.

    Wonderful restaurant, its reputation is well deserved. Highly recommend both the filet and rib eye. We shared the Quattro Leches for desert , which was terrific.

Manager and wait staff were very attentive. Manager gave us a dessert and offered champagne for anniversary. Super experience. Thank you.

    Over the years the food and service at the Porch Cafe have varied enormously, from excellent to poor and everything in between. I’m guessing that’s why the place was almost empty on Friday night. It’s such a shame because the new chef is providing excellent food and the service is very good. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. The cocktails were great. My fish was beautifully cooked and served on vegetables with amazing and different flavors. Highly recommend the current Porch Cafe!

    The food was fantastic—really fresh and an overall great experience. However, I wish they hadn’t begun cleaning and closing the restaurant two hours before closing time. It made us feel rushed during our meal, especially when they started sweeping under our tables. Despite this minor inconvenience, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning.
