Some of our favorite area restaurants (be sure to call or go online and check hours / days open before you go!):
Provisions in Port St. Joe. They are open Monday – Saturday. Make sure you go at least once during your stay for lunch or dinner. Check their hours on the website. Food is awesome. Their Bruschetta grilled chicken salad is my all time favorite, anywhere. Phone 850-229-9200. www.provisionsfl.com
Indian Pass Raw Bar in Indian Pass. They have oysters, crab legs, shrimp, gumbo, lots of beer and that’s about it, but it’s great and the ambiance there cannot be described… If you go to St. Joseph’s state park on Cape San Blas, this would be a good place to go eat afterwards. You can go in your beach attire. Extremely casual! Phone 850-227-1670. www.indianpassrawbar.com
