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.

    We could barely understand the waiter as his English was poor. Service was erratic and the food did not seem up to the Gaido’s level.

    I've visited Gaido many times and had never really impressed, but I thought that I should try again as I saw that they received the James Beard award. OMG! How they got the award??? Now I can no longer trust James Beard. Everything was super salty and no flavor. I barely touched food. Another reason that I had a dinner at Gaido this time was that we booked the Gaido Inn at the same property because it had great reviews and looked very charming on their photos. It was listed as 3 start hotel and $300/night on Expedia, but again OMG! It's just a 1 start nasty motel with no sound insulation. We booked 2 nights, but we cancelled our 2nd night as we couldn't sleep at all, and we booked the Spring Hill Suite by Marriot, which was also 3 star hotel with the same price and slightly lower review, but OMG! This hotel was like a heaven!!! Normally we stay in 4 star hotels, but hotels in Galveston were always ridiculously over priced and totally booked, but we totally appreciated 3 start Spring Hill after Gaido hell hall. We will never eat or stay at Gaido.
