Some of the flavors carry a $1.00 upcharge. The menu also offers salads, wraps, burgers, and sandwiches. A kid's menu is also available.

For more than 40 years, locals have debated whether or not to reopen Midnight Pass, which separated Casey Key and Siesta Key and connected Sarasota Bay to the Gulf of Mexico until it was bulldozed shut in the mid-1980s. Despite the public outrage the closure whipped up, the pass remained blocked until last year’s Hurricane Helene nudged it back open. Then Hurricane Milton followed on Helene’s heels, slamming into Siesta and widening and deepening the pass.

Now the question is: Should Midnight Pass stay open?
