Hands down the BEST restaurant in Miami. Impeccable food & service. So nostalgic you never want to leave. Stone crab claws are a MUST, king crab legs are awesome, key lime pie is to die for, ALL GOOD

The Corcoran Group

If you're visiting Miami, this place is a MUST. There's almost always a wait for a table, so it's best to get Joe's to go to minimize the time before you can eat their incredible stone crab claws .

Janet Tabin

Most people know Joe's for stone crab , but their fresh fish and other seafood is also outstanding. And, interestingly, Joe's keeps a hamburger and fried chicken on the menu at a real bargain price !

AmateurConcierge

An institution. The creamed spinach is amazing. Not so much the wedge. Large claws only. Make ur life easier and jus eat at takeaway with less of a hassle

Ami H.

Key lime pie was best we had of 4 tried around Miami & Ft Lauderdale. Service old school gracious and attentive. Otherwise, the food rly does not merit costliness of meal. Its an experience, cosigned.

Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues

Joe's Stone Crab is ranked #1 seafood restaurant in Miami Beach by Foursquare City Guide users and we know why... Three things to order: stone crab claws , grilled tomatoes and key lime pie .

Allain Barnett

The stone crab great, but I'll be coming back for the key lime pie . I also enjoyed the crunchy kale salad and fried chicken . The staff are efficient, professional and attentive. Great place

Sol

If you’re not getting stone crabs , go for the glazed salmon . The sauce is sweet and savory, and the fish is always fresh. Chopped salad and the tomato are classic starters.

JT Teran

Lives up to the hype. The take-away section of the restaurant is more laid back and features just as great of food. Crab legs are priced based on market value, so they can be a bit expensive .

Mei Tam

The stone crabs are fresh and amazing!!!! The wait so staff were polite and friendly ! The only disappointment was the long wait . But I am willing to come again!!! ????

Sung C

A Miami institution and a must. Ordered two large orders and I was plenty for two folks with two sides. Unless you are eating other foods. The key lime pie is a must!

Nash Als

obviously the stone crab is a must. and the lobester was good too. but make sure to leave some room for the lime pie ????????

Hadeel Omer

Highly recommend crab bisque , king crab (steamed), stone crab , creamed spinach and key lime pie .

Mari Stormar

Historical place. Good service and famous stone crab clams . But was not blown away. More like an experience

Zach Hedrick

One word, OUTSTANDING. This is THE place to try in Miami Beach. Be sure to order the slaw as an app. Try the brussel sprouts as well !

Bill Hollis

Are you kidding me! Best restaurant ever! The crabs were amazing, topped off with spectacular potato pancakes , can’t say enough about our experience. Best meal in Miami! Btw Maria was awesome!

CNN

The legend goes it was Weiss who first served stone crabs claws , now a delicacy on menus throughout Florida. Read more

Jecee Medeiros

What else is one to say except you have to try the stone crabs . There is nothing else like these or the yummy creamy mustard dipping sauce they serve the stone crabs with. Five stars all the way

Valerie Dee

Go on a weeknight and before 7pm for a short wait ! We split one large order of the stone crabs plus one side of hash browns and one appetizer and it was plenty of food!

Robin Leighbuchanan

Fabulous dinner at Joe's. If you are ever in Miami, and even if you live there..Joe's is the one place to have an incredible Stone Crab meal. Best place to go for them.

Ashlyn Williams

If you want to try this place more than once it is a good idea to come for lunch . Walked up to the gentleman at the front about noon with a group of 5 at about 12 noon and he was ready to get us sat.

Alyssa B.

Frozen claws during late Sept but still good. Cannot miss this during a Miami visit!

Phil Miller

This storied Miami Beach place is awesome in both the atmosphere (formal with all waitstaff in a tux), to the service to the food. A large selection at all price points.

TripExpert

A historical Miami institution. "Medium stone crabs ...are best; the claws are a fine regional meal paired with Joe's creamy mustard dipping sauce ." -Gayot on TripExpert Read more

Jacob Gyllenstierna

Get here at 6pm or risk waiting >1hr. Get the select stone crab , grilled tomatoes and key lime pie . Not cheap , but so good!

Match Thisfly

The Killer King Crab Claws that you can have shipped to your door. Could eat these everyday with a chilled Cava or Presecco. Great staff . Really expensive but worth the splurge.

Matilda Armadou

Best Stone Crab and Lobster around. Key Lime pie is the best north of key west, and if your into greens , the creamed spinach is a MUST! - Dennis Mancino

BZB

The Stone Crabs and lobster claws were delicious. The side of baked tomato with cheese on top is amazing, finished with chocolate brownie with icecream which I recommend you share.

Ana Ladygazpacho

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

Mattie Steger

Sarah Dunn

Best stone crabs and key lime pie in Miami! They don't take reservations so leave time to enjoy the bar

John Keating

Amazing! A Keating family tradition for 30 years. The key lime pie is the worlds best. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT ON EARTH!

Laura Claerbout

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.

Isabella Kayat

Love this place. They don't take reservations . I would go for lunch because dinner can have long waits . Loved the stone crabs and artichoke

Eater

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

Cristin Guenther

OMFG Richard Is The BEST we LOVED HIM !!!! He gave us the best advice on what to order for our 1st time Was unbelievable Experience! We will be Back. 5 Star for sure and I do Not Give that often!!

Judy Kennedy

Appetizers were so good! The cold seafood platter was ok but not worth the 47$ at all! Strong drinks always a plus! Great experience !

Jaclyn R

South Florida staple so definitely worth the visit but not necessarily worth the crazy wait. Pro tip: know a guy

Maira Garcia

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!

Mustafa K.

Jumbo crab was good, they have to work on their side orders thou… their hash brown recipe has room for improvement. Grilled tomatoes was cold, we would enjoy it more if they were fresh out of oven.

Ellen Newman

Lunch in January for anniversary. Everything was delist-oysters, crabs .Hubs had lobster roll AND crab cakes because he couldn't decide between the two.Comped us key lime pie.Great service.Expensive!!

Ms Helene

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

Diana Dlp

The large stone crab is amazing. Also the crab cakes and key lime pie !! Great place if you get to the restaurant before 6pm you won't have to wait in line .

João Souza

A classic. The ambience, traditional, may be a bit tacky for nowadays, but the Crabs are amazing and service is great. Worth a visit.

S

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

Paul Ruthfield

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.

Alex Norman

The best value are the large stone crabs hands down. Every time I come I always make the mistake of getting the selects. Now it's officially on FS So no one will make the same mistake
