Fried Chicken...yummy and I think the cheapest item on the dinner menu!?!? Go surf n turf with the crab n chicken to leave your wallet as happy as you belly!

Stone crabs are good no doubt but still seemed overpriced for what they are. And the clams casino is made with dinky little clams. Nothing was bad by any means but wasn’t overly impressed

Little expensive, but really good. Best crab cake I had ever tried (and I order it a lot!). The macaroni with cheese and lobster is a nice and cheap choice!

You'll be out in under an hour, full of stone crabs and some amazing key lime pie. No reservations, this place operates on tips to the host.

Lobster Reuben $24. Buttery, crispy rye swirl bread, melted cheese, sauerkraut & lobster salad.

An institution. Oldest restaurant on Miami Beach. The original Stone Crab supplier. Don't like Stonecrabs? Have the liver and onions or the fried chicken. you'll thank me.
Scott S.November 3, 2016
Not much else I can add to what has been said in the prior tips. Stone crabs are not the only great menu choice...crab cakes are fantastic. Desserts are great, too.
João SouzaApril 29, 2015
A classic. The ambience, traditional, may be a bit tacky for nowadays, but the Crabs are amazing and service is great. Worth a visit.

What more is there to say about Joe’s? Still the best. Remember the inexpensive meal is always on the menu if you want it.

Go for lunch, sit on the outdoor patio and order the lunch special which comes with stone crab claws, hash browns, creamed spinach, coleslaw and key lime pie!

It's an institution. Of course the stone crab. Don't pass on hash browns and creamed spinach. $4 fried chicken. Tangy key lime pie.

A South Beach stone crab institution that's always mobbed, no matter what the economy is like. Home of the original Miami Beach power lunch. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

So many things to recommend apart from the obvious stone crabs.... turkey meatballs, Turkey burger, fried green tomatoes ....chili is also amazing. Eat up and enjoy :)

Wonderful experience at Joe's! The stone crab was delicious, best I've ever had! Go at lunch time, it's less crowded than in the evening.
Stephanie BJanuary 3, 2019
Everything was AMAZING! Great kale salad! Amazing stone crab and delicious lobster Mac N cheese!!! Amazing service as well!
Luiz GeraldoNovember 6, 2016
The colossal crab was the biggest I ever saw, really tasty and worth every penny!

For a longer, more luxurious meal, try one of Jorge Perez’s favorites: Joe’s for stone crabs, a local delicacy (everyone wears bibs.) Read more

My favorites, for brunch: Joe's supreme eggs, or southern comfort, for lunch: buffalo style jumbo shrimps, all their salads, fried green tomatoes, the lobster stuffed with creamed spinach, etc! Yummm
Joshua ClaytonMarch 16, 2011
Fantastic service; worth the wait and the cost! The sweet potato fries are especially delicious. Make sure to say hi to Bones at the door; he impressively remembers your name even after your meal!
KitchenAidFebruary 15, 2012
The wait is long, but the food is worth it at this South Beach seafood institution that's been open since 1913. Their crab sizes range from Small to Jumbo and are a must-try.
Dan H.October 16, 2013
Can never go wrong with Joe's!!!! Always a favorite - best stone crabs and everything else is quality from fried chicken to fish to steaks!

Try the take away if you don't want to wait hours to sit in the restaurant. Tables are available for you to sit at too. The food is the same as the restaurant.
R. Philip StevensonFebruary 11, 2012
South Beach staple. If you can't get a dinner reservation. Swing by during the day and pick up food to go from Joe's Take-away which is connected to the restaurant.
Alexander KuzminSeptember 30, 2014
SoBe must! Perfect food and so good crab claws and avocado crab salad.
Ana LadygazpachoNovember 29, 2014
Seafood cold mix plate (oysters, lobster, shrimps and the Amazing stone crab) with a cold white wine.the best start of a perfect night in Miami
Renee MaslikhovAugust 16, 2011
The Killer King Crab Claws that you can now have shipped to your door when in season are the business. Could eat them everyday with a chilled Spanish Cava or an Italian Prosecco.
Alma LealDecember 29, 2013
You have to be patient and wait for your table, but the food is worthy. Don't miss the macaroni & cheese and the key lime pie.
Jordan MFebruary 18, 2018
Blackened grouper sandwich, conch fritters and stone crab claws... #wheninflorida
Benjamin PalmerApril 3, 2013
fun fact: the crabs are cooked on the boat immediately after the catch, then iced then delivered to Joe's. tip: eat the stone crabs
Ronda YvetteJanuary 12, 2014
Long wait & a bit pricey but sooo worth it! My absolute fav restaurant on south beach!
The FeastJune 5, 2011
No reservations but that doesn't keep people from waiting around for a table. Go for their signature stone crabs and sides of hash browns and creamed spinach. Key Lime Pie is a great ending.
Roberto MateuFebruary 18, 2014
Arrived early (11:30am) on weekday, and managed to sit outside. Expensive but delicious.
Hidden Treasures Magazine [HTM]October 14, 2011
come here seasonly for the stone crabs, especially the jumbo claws. Dip 'em in the signature mustard sauce and wash it all off with a fresh bottle of Chardonnay. -HTM
Lou ThomasJanuary 25, 2013
Lengthy process for dinner about 2 hours starting at 9:45. Very good food...stone crabs and filet. Key Lime pie pretty much the bomb!
Caribbean QueenOctober 31, 2013
Go very early or very late. They still don't take reservations. The food is just divine so the queue is long but worth the wait.
Robin LeighbuchananFebruary 14, 2014
No reservations, get there early, sit down relax have a drink and enjoy the best Stone Crab in the United States of America!
Victoria HallerOctober 18, 2010
The Mahi Mahi is tropical, light, and appealing to the eyes. The tilipia is a farer cost plate and VERY tasty. I do not suggest the ginger salmon as it is very sweet and heavy. (Fried green tomatoes a

Lobster Mac and cheese ! This place is an institution. Worth the wait.

The authentic home of the Sone Crab. Super food, great service, fine wine and drinks and a memorable atmosphere.
Gary CarrMarch 26, 2016
The crabs are the best of course, but you must try the ribs and steaks. All was prepared perfectly!!!
LivaJanuary 24, 2015
Old school service: aww I loved it. It's a place worth trying. It's good but I find it overpriced (due to tourist custom) for stone crabs, especially considering we're by the shore.
Alexandra SvirskayaDecember 19, 2014
Available two options: wonderful restaurant and take away buffet. Really delicious seafood.
Shawn R GibbonsNovember 7, 2013
Best Stone Crab in the US and then the second best key lime pie in the US. Great time and worth the experience.
EpicuriousAugust 23, 2010
The wait at this famous eatery can be very long (no reservation policy), but the food is worth the wait! Crack a few claws open and dip into a creamy mustard sauce for crab heaven.
Carl RishMay 11, 2014
Iconic South Beach restaurant! I never disappoints but that kind of service and consistency comes at a price. But, worth it in my opinion.
Erika Siqueira de Castro NevesNovember 9, 2010
Best key lime pie ever! You must have a trio of crabs! Amazing! And for dring is a good idea to order a Champagne! Enjoy!
Iva IvanovaNovember 25, 2016
The bar (best Margaritas), crab claws and the atmosphere

In South Beach's decidedly new-money scene, the stately Joe's Stone Crab is an old-school testament to good food and good service. Read more
