About Us

A tradition of excellence for over 95 years, Gaido's restaurant was started back in 1911 when S.J. Gaido first opened his doors to the public. Visitors often arrived to the restaurant by horse and buggy, boat or on the old interurban line. The Gaido family's commitment was to make the trip worthwhile with the best in service and the freshest seafood available.

Today, the trip to Galveston is much easier, but the service and cuisine of Gaido's restaurant remains the same. All of the seafood is meticulously inspected and prepared by hand.

Gaido's still peels shrimp, shucks oysters and filets fish the old fashioned way. Gaido's has continued this tradition for ninety-plus years, and that’s not about to change. All of the sauces, salad dressings and desserts are homemade from Gaido's family recipes, using only the finest of fresh ingredients.

Whether for an important business lunch, a special dinner celebration, or a relaxing weekend, Gaido's offers something for every palate and occasion. Our dress is casual and service and food is excellent!

We hope to see you soon
