If you have not been to Cabo San Blas before, you will notice that there are not as many restaurants as there are in more developed beach holidays, such as Panama City. Those of us who are residents or frequent visitors to the cape actually think that this is good, but it makes the choice of restaurants more difficult for beginners. In addition, if you were not on the Cape for a while, there have been some changes. I hope this information will help when you plan your escape at the cape!
ON THE CAPE:
1. Cones, 8080 Cape San Blas Road, 850-229-5252. In the immediate vicinity of the entrance to the State Park, the Coneheads have indoor and outdoor seating, and the last time I was there, you could bring your dog to the outdoor seating areas. At the moment they open from 8 to 8 and close on Sundays. I confirmed that they are planning to have breakfast, lunch and dinner this summer. The menu includes salads, sandwiches, pizza and ice cream. They have good hamburgers, groupers sandwiches and fries. It is better to call ahead and be sure that they open before you go to lunch.
2. Scalip Cove BP, 4310 Cape San Blas Road, 850-227-1573. An unlicensed participant in the restaurant’s article, BP actually has many options for a quick meal without leaving the Cape. You'll find everything from breakfast sandwiches to hamburgers, hot dogs, chili and gumbo. Jill just added pizza to her menu, and the oven turned off at 8 pm. You can also grab things to make your own quick lunch with wine, cheese and crackers or something else light. BP works seven days a week until 10 pm. and their watches are reliable.
3. Cape Trade Post, 4975 Cape San Blas Road, 850-229-8775. The hotel has pizza, hot dogs, pizza, soups, extreme ice and more. The clock is changing, so call ahead.
4. Shaved ice from salty beaches, next to Merchant Post. 850-229-6611 Not a restaurant, but a pleasant treat on a hot summer day. They offer 70 different flavors.
5. Grill-grill, CLOSED AS THIS ARTICLE. No word on when it will open again.

Patti Blaylock, the owner, my dear friend, so I revealed my problem with a conflict of interest. But the truth is that we always ate in the Grill as long as we go to Cape, even before we meet Patty. A varied menu with many options and a menu for children. Great panini, salads and other sandwiches at lunch. Steaks, seafood and pasta for dinner. The view of the bay is impressive and even better when we get a good sunset!
