New Pass Grill is the perfect slice of old Florida charm mixed with unbeatable good vibes! 🌴🍔 From the moment we arrived, the view took our breath away — sparkling blue water, boats drifting by, and the smell of burgers sizzling on the grill. The beautiful cashier Chelsea was absolutely radiant and made our experience extra special! 🌞 She greeted us with a genuine smile, was super attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. You can tell she truly loves what she does — her energy is contagious! And Wendell in the kitchen? Absolute legend. 👨‍🍳 Every single burger came out cooked to perfection — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. Hands down some of the best burgers in Sarasota. We also have to give a huge shoutout to Brandon in the bait shop! 🎣 Not only is he incredibly friendly, but he’s also so knowledgeable — whether you’re new to fishing or a local angler, he’s got the best tips, gear, and advice to make your day on the water a success. Between the amazing staff, laid-back atmosphere, and killer food, New Pass Grill is the kind of place you never want to leave. A true Sarasota treasure, can’t wait to come back!

Nothing beats a new pass double bacon cheeseburger after a long day on the water. This place is a community staple. 🙌🔥

New Pass Grille is a hidden little piece of paradise! I love their blackened grouper sandwich with fries, and sitting by the ocean makes it even better. I eat here a few times a month and always have a great experience!

Most excellent place! Breakfast, lunch, beverages, bait and apparel. They even have boat charters! The most friendly staff I have encountered!! Dont miss out on this local gem. I'm a local and still come here frequently. Usually the 1st stop after we put the boat in. This is Mahi Marshall, he runs the bait shop and does charters.

Grouper is delicious here. Awesome place to sit and watch the pelicans or go out for a fishing excursion. Marshall is always helpful and knowledgeable.

the vibe is cool, right on the dock, next to some bait shop. when you walk into here, it is kinda just like a outdoor dive bar serving up food. the food isn't good, but it's edible. a little expensive for the quality but who cares. that's kind of the point of this joint, it's a no frills, chill grab and go and maybe go see the shrimp in the bait shop next door. egg sando is decent.

The angus burger was disappointing. World famous? I think not! By far the worst burger ever. The onion rings were decent. Extremely overpriced for a burger I threw away after two bites. Gross!
