Kelly Chan: Service was great but the food was mediocre. I would come back. I got the crawfish, which lacked spices. The blackened flounder with twice pilaf and grilled vegetables was decent.
Stan Ignatev: Crawfish is awesome
Mike Foster: FLAVORFUL!! Everything delicious!! The grilled chicken pizza, the Red Fish, The Pineapple Burger with Avocado, chicken salad sandwich!! We came here just because everything was closed for Christmas.

Bobby Markle: You can ask for half tails and half etouffe for crawfish. Not on menu but a good option.
Sasha G: We asked a local about where to go for authentic Galveston seafood. We were not disappointed. Amazing Cajun Seafood platter. Really enjoyed the fried oysters & crab cakes. We will be going back!
Lynda Marone: The shrimp and oyster poboy was awesome. But the one dish that was amazing was the bread pudding!! Probably the best bread pudding I have ever had in my life.

Caitlin O'Steen: Crawfish wasn't very good, but everything else was awesome! Our only good waiter in Galveston was here....I think James was his name
Sou S.: Try the Crawfish Platter (Fried Crawfish Tails and Crawfish Etouffee) - Good ettouffee
Priya B.: We had great service and loved our food. I got the crab cake sandwich and my hubby got the tilapia and crab stuffed poblano. Kids enjoyed their meals - large portions. They validate parking too.
Galveston.com: Seafood Fettuccine with Alfredo sauce on angel hair pasta was creamy and not too heavy, and very well-flavored - full of shrimp, crawfish, and scallops.
Michael Sanchez: The Mario's Special pizza was fantastic, lots of fresh veggies and plenty of the meats. The service was great, Jenny was a great waitress!

Harry: Best flounder I've ever had, it wasn't really improved by the crawfish stuffing. I felt a little sorry for him, he was probably swimming around with his friends this morning
Dustin Graham: Had the combo platter, the scallops were outstanding, the whole thing was very good.
Galveston.com: Gaido's has a reputation for consistently fresh and well-prepared food. There is something for everyone. If you've not dined at Gaido's, you haven't really explored Galveston.
