New Pass Grill & Bait Shop

Congrats you just lost a frequent customer. Come here all the time for the angus burger brought my family who was visiting and got 2 improperly cooked less expensive frozen Patties. Brought it back to say something and the cook starts touching the burger with his dirty bare hands telling me I’m wrong. I’ve been here more times than I can count and get the same thing. Would have been fine with them fixing the error if it wasn’t for the nasty girl who works the front register. When you charge 2 burgers and a kids meal 70 dollars don’t roll your eyes and get rude with the customer when YOU are handing out the wrong crappy food. SMH.

My cheeseburger was horrible. It was beige. It had no sense of having been grilled. The consistency of the meat was like a mashed up pate. Obviously frozen. Texture was decidedly not of freshly ground beef. Have they changed their beef in the last few years since I’ve been there?

Was picking up a boat down the street and seen they served food, especially breakfast. I decided to try it out as it was still too early for the other establishments in the area to open. The people were super friendly and helpful. I ordered the tuna salad on a sub roll and it was yummy. Wish it was lunchtime so that I could have ordered some of the seafood to try out.

What a wonderful place we have here. Always great food. Burgers, fish and chips, grouper and calamari all fantastic.

I recommend on a boat pull up and riding by any time.

It's on the water fun. The pelicans fly, and the other birds amuse with their antics. Be careful they might grab a French fry from you while in flight. Go watch the boats go by, the tourists and locals enjoy all the tasty brown bagged delicacies and the friendly folks!!

I was greeted by Dustin as soon as I walked in, he was able to quickly answer all my fishing, tackle , and bait questions. While I was there I grabbed a burger from the kitchen ,Wendell really went out of his way to make my order perfect! Will definitely return 10/10

They are priced for the tourist crowd. Which means expensive. The burger I ordered was big but not the best quality burger. You better get there early if you want any live shrimp for fishing. The gear is very expensive. $60 for a long sleeve fishing shirt that costs $30 anywhere else. $50 for a straw fishing hat that costs $20 anywhere else. $53 for a used ( it was a rental before selling) fishing pole that would have cost the same new at Walmart. $10 for 12 live ( kind of lol) shrimp . But I Will say this. They opened until noon ( he actually stayed till 1pm to accommodate everyone there) on Christmas Day which was awesome! I forgot about $25 in sinkers , hooks etc on the counter when i left but went back with my receipt the next day and he let me pick out that dollar amount of stuff to replace what I forgot with no problem. And the staff is very very nice. Also funny . Over all I’d shop there again. There’s room for improvement especially on prices but I get it. It’s a tough economy and it is tourist season. Also located right on the water’s edge in a calm peaceful bay.

Why I’m giving this popular seafood establishment a poor one star rating.
While I would consider this place a typical tourist trap because of its waterfront location…the food quality is substandard.
To begin with, nearly everything is fried and as an experienced retired chef I know that seafood should never be fried but sautéed…and lightly.
I had both the Calamari and the clam baskets.
Both came heavily breaded and overcooked.
The quality of the oil they fried it in was breaking down so the expected whole clams was just clam strips which was dark in color. I could taste the bad oil. The Calamari was not much better and I found myself peeling off the heavily battered seafood before giving up on both. I estimated that I only ate 10% of my lunch before discarding it to the trash bin outside by the picnic tables overlooking a bay. Truly a horrible food dining experience unless you’re a tourist and not a local.

Cool little stop, everything was ok. Counter service and pick up deal with a a neat water view. Counter lady was a bit rude. She is that lady that moved there 20 years ago, took a job, is still there, and started not bitching about tourists about 2 weeks into it . You..she was behind the window with a less than pleasant demeanor, irritated to explain their 100 ur old concession stand approach, but barring that, kinda cool place. Fishing shop on one side bait and the like for the dock that is attached on an adjacent building.

Gotta watch how you treat people Maude....might just come back atcha....food was just ok too...pretty pricey for what it was but edible blackened grouper. Will probably go back to see if it's any better round 2 or just a neat roadside stop with a water view

It was half hour before closing would not make a to go order. Lady in charge wouldn't open the window

Somewhat of a hidden gem on the water next to the bridge to Longboat Key. Nice fare of burgers and seafood. Everything was fresh and crispy. Plenty of parking and seating too . Chill vibes

We had lunch on a Saturday here. The pictures don't do the view justice. The burgers were phenomenal! Hands down the best burger I've had in a very long time. The fries were amazing, the onion rings were just okay. The place has such a great, authentic atmosphere. This was my first visit but my husband has been coming here for years, now I know why!

One of my favorite stops for lunch while in the area. Great stop for a burger and beer and amazing atmosphere to take some photos. Make the stop if you’re on a boat.
