The Texas Bucket List - Gaido's in Galveston

Unbelievable, my mom told us about this restaurant when we were kids. She lived there in the late 50's and early 60's before moving to South Florida. She has fond memories of eating there and hasn't eaten better seafood since!

This restaurant has such delicious food and great service! I had my Husband celebration of life there and they were amazing the servers were so sweet and kind to our family 💕 Stacie went above and beyond for our family 🙏 my Husband loved all there dishes and they served all his favorites to our family who travel from all over to be there 💙

Fantastic review, really hoping to get to that part of Texas someday... Cheers, from Melbourne, Australia.

We love this place and have been going there since we were children. It was a special treat! Now in out mid-60’s, it’s still a favorite destination for the best seafood ever.

Good stuff Shane! 👀 🦀 👊🏼💯🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing my friend!

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.

Wow. I remember going here with my parents since the mid60s and throughout until the early 80s when we moved away. I was able to come back in 2020 w my own son and I still remember his face when he ate their food the first time. Gaidos always has great food and service. Once I get back home in a week or so, it seems like I great idea to return. We’ll see y’all soon!

Thank you for doing a review on this restaurant, Shane. My husband & I live in Edinburg, Texas (close to South Padre Island), and have been to Galveston twice in the past few years and wanted to try it. Our hotel was right around the corner. I am definitely trying the oyster platter & red snapper you were eating. My mouth was watering 🤤🦪 Papa's pizza in Galveston is one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, too🍕We love your show👍

Back in 50's my brother and 2 sisters loved going there as the waiters never ever wrote down exactly what any of us ordered. Mom and dad always told us to respect each waiter and speak to them clearly and respectfully. Great memories and Txs Gaidos!! Still great food and selection.

This is an amazing feast! I love, love red snapper & never had oysters like this! I'm in Houston. You made me so hungry. ❤

I like Texas bucket list videos on YouTube from the imperial co California.

Hands down my favorite place to eat on the Island. Always fresh seafood and great service.

I love this restaurant . We would go every time we to Galveston! So glad its still here.

Gaidos a landmark in Galveston for sure. The food is always good. Outstanding.

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.

Shrimp N Stuff is great too and it's less expensive.

Parents took us there back in the 70's. It was more of formal dining than it is now. My wife and I went back a couple of years ago before covid and while the food was good, it wasn't great and it's more of casual dining now. Outstanding view of the gulf and still worth the trip.

I went there several times over 20 years ago. Glad to see it has survived the storms and is going strong. It was delicious when I went there.

My daughter lives in Galveston, so I get to visit often. ❤️ Thanks for your videos. 😍

We used to go there when I was a kid in the 80's...the highlight of our trips to Galveston from Houston.😢
