I've lived in Texas my whole life. Been to Gaido's many times. There are tons of seafood restaurants nearby in Kemah all owned by the Landry's chain. I much prefer Gaido's. Small family owned business, great service. Great locally sourced seafood. If you want non-franchised good seafood it is the place to go. It is a bit pricey, but the quality and service are top notch.

Great place to eat. We went there one time all the way from Houston with another couple, 31+ years ago, just to eat. It was later in the evening, we placed our order, and waited a pretty good while for our food. And then heard a loud crash in the kitchen area! The waitress came to our table, and yes, that was our whole meal, on the floor! They quickly remade everything, apologized profusely, and gave us a great dessert on the house. It was an excellent dining experience and we got a story to tell from it too! We need to go back another time soon.

My husband and I spend every winter on the Bolivar Peninsula and have eaten at quite a few restaurants along Seawall Blvd. We tried Giado's just once and will never go back again. We didn't even make it to a table. When we arrived, more than half the tables were unseated with more than enough wait staff standing around chit-chatting. The hostess wrote our name down and said it would be a few minutes. We were the only people waiting for a table. We waited...while people ate, paid and left. The wait staff continued to chit-chat. The hostess stared at her phone. We asked how much longer the wait would be 3 separate times. We waited 90 minutes, then walked out and went over to Nick's. We were seated immediately and, as always, had great food.

I lived in Galveston beginning in 1975 while being stationed there with the Coast Guard. Back then were lots of small Mom & Pop seafood places in town with fantastic food, and the only time most of the locals, BOI, ate at Gaido's was if we had out of town guests. There were several local fish markets in town and if we wanted fresh seafood we went there, bought it and cooked ourselves. A much better eating experience and far cheaper than a table at Gaido's. I was there 3 years ago, the food was mediocre and the prices were way too high, only the tourists eat there because most of the locals simply can't afford it.

As a life longe resident of Galveston, great restaurants are few and far between and you wouldn't think that to be the case for such a popular tourist destination. With that being said, Gaido's is middle of the road at best, it's more of a tourist trap being on the seawall and it's stand out huge crab on the front. There are a couple hole in the wall joints that are much better, otherwise you need to travel up the road a ways for something top notch.
