My husband and I are from Houston and visit Galveston often, but this spot is officially going on our must-visit list every time we’re in town. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. The restaurant was packed, but we were seated quickly by the sweetest staff member, Sherry, who made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Blanca, was an absolute gem—kind, attentive, and quick to bring me a full gluten-free menu the moment I mentioned my food allergies (gluten and dairy). I had called ahead to ask if I could bring my own dairy-free alternatives, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. And the best surprise? They have gluten-free bread! For anyone with celiac or dietary restrictions, you know how exciting that is. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was flavorful and clearly made with care. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and quick to strike up a conversation. We never once felt like we were just another table to turn over—there was so much heart in the service and it truly made the experience stand out. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Loved this restaraunt. Very friendly to gluten allergies with separate kitchen, GF menu, and knowledgable staff.

A cozy restaurant for cozy food! They had all gluten free options marked on their menu. I ordered the catfish tacos and they hit just the spot! I definitely recommend this place for a reasonably priced, tasty meal.

Easy to book, initial service great. Asked about a gluten free bread option for a patty melt and it all started to fail from that point. Initial order ok, some alcohol, an appetiser for 2, and patty melts (one regular, one with gluten free bread). Patty melts never arrived after an hour and we asked and they re checked our initial order. Blamed the kitchen for being confused, but I think they forgot to put the orders through. They arrived 5 mins later. No swiss cheese, looking overdone. Taken away to sort and arrived later. Other cheese mix was used, non-gluten free patty melt meal had burnt patty and burnt bread and some odd cheese mix that had set like rubber. Complained again but past feeling hungry. Given them their due, we only paid for alcohol in the end. However, it was the worst meal I can recall in many years. Warning: make sure they fully understand what’s required for gluten free as you order. We won’t be visiting again… I’ve now altered my review (overall star rating) based on a discussion I’ve since had with the Gen Mgr, and I believe it was a one off issue, and he has already used it as the basis for training and I thank him for offering credit and moreso for reaching out to me.

This is the best lunch spot in Galveston. The fish is fresh and delicious, and the counter is manned by extremely kind and talented folks who love what they do. Their menu is celiac and gluten-free friendly, so just ask what is available that day!! Just be sure to get there promptly at open because they WILL sell out! Highlights include: corn cup, Baja taco, Korean taco, and Empire taco!!

Gaidos is a standard in Galveston and it's clear why! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They assisted with any questions I had regarding gluten free items on the menu and were able to make great recommendations. Our appetizer and dessert were amazing, I'm still dreaming about the soup of the day made by the chef! I was a bit disappointed for my entree as the sides and the meat used the same seasoning so the dish lacked depth, but everything else was amazing. The gift shop inside is also very cute.

Seafood was tasty. The non-seafood dishes left a little to be desired. They were very helpful in accommodating a gluten allergy.

Maureen Sullivan

Great for beach side casual food and drinks. Staff very attentive and helpful. Made my gluten-free lunch enjoyable and were careful about cross contamination.

We are proud and frequent Landry’s members. Waited an hour for our food! Couldn’t find our waiter. Got water but no bread! Service at our table was sooo slow! Other waiters were working hard. I had to ask one to find our waiter. My husband ordered white rice off of the gluten free menu. Came out crunchy, not fully cooked. Put fried onion rings on my grandson’s gluten free taco plate. No gf bread at any Landry’s except Saltgrass…Why????? So very disappointed!

Incredible service, top-notch fresh seafood & attentive staff. Eric seated our party of NINETEEN without a reservation or any available support runners and gave us the best service we've had on the island this weekend. Knowledgeable of Gluten Free options and was very easy to work with. Worth every penny, and better fish quality than other place for the price.

The food was delicious! They were moderately helpful about gluten free options. I had blackened salmon with a baked potato and green beans and it was great. The high chair was sticky and had the straps cut off, so our baby was continually trying to climb out of her chair. House wine was good and $1 off for happy hour.
