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.

    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.

    We had fun. I thought it was noisy, but my daughter said it was noisier on the Pleasure Pier and FishTales was quiet in comparison. Our waitress was fun and hardworking. The food was good, but great is still out there. We’ve been eating out every night since Dec. 23rd as family is coming in from all over at different times. And each place we went to I ordered a Balvenie Doublewood and after dinner the Bread Pudding. FishTales had no Balvenie and the bread pudding ranked at the bottom. But, we really had a good time and my fettuccine was just swell.
