CGBCruiser Posted June 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Gaido's - It hasn't been in Galveston for more than 100 years for no reason. Seriously it is very good as is Casey's next door that is owned by the same people. That's my favorite place to eat seafood in Galveston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CINDYSUE Posted June 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2011 In my opinion, Guidos is too high for what you get. I much prefer Fisherman's Wharf or Willie G's, both on Pier 21 for dinner and Fish Tales or Bennos, on the seawall for lunch. There is also kind of a dive where all the locals seem to hang out called Shrimp and Stuff, which is in town. All of these are good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted June 10, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Joe’s Crab Shack returns to Pier 19 this past week In addition to Joes on Seawall, that makes these all by the Harbor House and Tremont Hotels: Fishermans Wharf Seafood Willie G's Seafood Olympia Greek Grill and Seafood Joes Crab Shack and Seafood and Le Croys Cajun Seafood one block away on Strand and Rudy and Pacos and Seafood Saltwater Grill Gumbos Sky Bar and Sushi Pearl Oyster Bar a couple of more blocks away from these restuarants and Hotels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auctiontx Posted August 1, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Gaido's has been our family favorite for over 30 years. Food is fabulous and the service perfection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstoncruisers2001 Posted August 1, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I agree with CINDYSUE. Gaidos is overpriced and NOT as good as it once was. That being said, Gaidos is an institution on the island so you might want to check it out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross6019 Posted August 1, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Personally I like Willy G's better. Last time at Gaido's there was over an hour wait and the food was just OK and high price. Willy G was expensive but like the atsmophere better. You could always try both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txskier Posted August 2, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I will second Rudy & Paco and Willie Gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlt46 Posted August 8, 2011 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I looked at the reviews and said, "Gaidos must be good. it's been there so long." Well, I was wrong. It was terrible food, and it was expensive to boot. I don't mind paying for good food, but I surely did not think that we had good food. We stopped at a grocery for snacks since we really didn't eat much at Gaidos. I've had frozen shrimp that tasted better than their shrimp. The service was OK, but the food... no way.

nlt46 Posted August 8, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 8, 2011 http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2010/06/top_10_restaurants_in_galvesto.php Someone just posted a Houston newspaper's top 10 for Galveston. They sound good. That is a more positive answer to your question of good places to eat. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitehawker Posted August 9, 2011 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Fisherman's Wharf or Willie G's are both really nice places. They are both located right by the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
