Anytime we head to the Cape San Blas/Port St. Joe/Mexico Beach area for vacation there is one restaurant that we absolutely, positively have to eat at some time during our trip, and that restaurant would be the Indian Pass Raw Bar and Grill in Indian Pass, Florida.  Connie and the girls have learned that there will be no debate about it; at some point during our trip we will be eating there.  Fortunately they like it just about as much as I do.

Prior to our trip down last week I visited their website to check their hours.  As I was scrolling through the results of a Google search to find their website I noticed a couple of restaurant reviews that mentioned a place called Indian Pass Uptown.

Wait, what?

Have they moved?

How could that be?  They’ve been in the old building forever!

As I read further I learned that the folks that own the original Indian Pass Raw Bar have opened a second location in Port St. Joe.  The phrase that really caught my attention was “No more two-hour wait!”.

You’re kidding me, right?  No more waiting on the front porch or in the parking lot?  No more mosquitoes?

Nope.

In fact, when we walked in we were seated right away.  How could this be?  Simple, the Port St. Joe location has four to five times the seating capacity as the original location.

By and large everything is pretty much the same as the original location (aside from the wait) with a couple of exceptions.  The Indian Pass location is open Sunday and closed Monday and the Port St. Joe location is closed Sunday and open Monday.  The other notable difference was the addition of ‘buffalo’ wings to the menu.

We arrived at Indian Pass Uptown promptly at 6:30 on Monday evening.  As I previously mentioned we walked in the door and were shown to our table right away.  We grabbed our drinks from the cooler and settled in with our menus…not that we really needed them.  As usual, I ordered steamed shrimp and a cup of gumbo.  ConnieLou decided to try the wings with steamed corn on the cob on the side and Ashley and Jenna both ordered the crab-stuffed shrimp, also with corn on the side.

The steamed shrimp, stuffed shrimp, gumbo and corn were just as expected.  If we didn’t already know that we were in a different location we wouldn’t have been able to tell it by those dishes.  They were exactly the same as we remembered from the original location.  The wings were different and dang good!  Unlike the typical buffalo wing that’s deep fried and tossed in a mixture of butter and hot sauce,  Indian Pass’s wings are coated in a dry rub and baked (I didn’t mention that nothing is fried at Indian Pass, did I?).

So how did Indian Pass Uptown fare on the Thumbs Scale?  Try an easy 8 out of a possible 8 and throw in a few toes for good measure.

Oh, I don’t know how true this is, but I understand that there may be a plan in the works for a location in Memphis, Tennessee.  Can you imagine it?  Shrimp, oysters, gumbo and a healthy dose of Memphis blues.  I think I may feel a trip to Memphis comin’ on.

It’s vacation time again so we headed down to Cape San Blas, Florida for a few days. Typically when we rent a condo for a week we’ll eat out three or four times and cook for ourselves the rest of the time. Cooking in saves us a bit of money and reduces the aggravation of having to clean up and go out somewhere after a day on the beach when we’d much rather just chill for the evening. However, we took a short trip this year so we elected to eat out all three nights. We hit up a couple of places we’d been before and tried new place to change things up a bit.

Thursday night we opted for an old faithful…Indian Pass Raw Bar…one of those places that’s never disappointed. The Raw Bar is located on Highway 30A between Apalachicola and Port St Joe. We’ve learned over the years to go early or be prepared to wait. It has a very small dining area and, well, great things just take time. Unfortunately we didn’t get there early and ended up waiting nearly two hours. Fortunately, the skeeters weren’t bad and The Curry’s, a local trio were playing on the patio so we had some good entertainment to kill the time.

Once inside we grabbed some drinks from the cooler, placed our order and sat back to relax for a bit. I ordered my usual steamed shrimp, ConnieLou, not being much of a seafood fan ordered a barbeque pork sandwich and an ear of steamed corn on the cob, Ashley selected crab-stuffed shrimp and corn and Jenna decided on a bowl of gumbo and corn.

The Raw Bar is a bit of an oddity on the Gulf Coast. Everything is steamed, baked or grilled…nothing is fried. To make things even better, any seafood that is on your plate today was swimming in local waters yesterday…ya just don’t get much fresher.

As usual, everything was quite good. The steamed shrimp continue to be the reason that I demand at least one trip to the Raw Bar every time we’re in the area…but…I got a taste of Jenna’s gumbo and I believe I’m going to have to add a small bowl as a side during future trips. OK, and maybe another beer.

On the Thumbs Scale Indian Pass Raw Bar got 8 thumbs-up out of a possible 8 with a few toes thrown in…yeah, we like it and we’ll be back.
