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

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

Food blogger Deborah of DeborahShane.com recommends Joe's Stone Crab. "My favorites include baked clams, Alaskan crab claws with secret mustard sauce, Joe’s famous slaw, and, of course, Key lime pie."

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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!

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.
Jean-Marc DemersOctober 18, 2011
If you enjoy food (and wine) as much as I do, you need to ask your waiter to take his time. Order your main after your appetizer is over, then you'll know you won't receive everything simultaneously.
Mujahid HasanFebruary 18, 2017
Anything on the menu is fresh well prepared and served with grace, polish and a smile.
Men's Health MagJuly 9, 2012
The shrimp cocktail, sweeter and plumper than most you can score in the U.S., rim a chalice filled with a house-made sauce. Order the jumbo claws if they're in season and larges any other time.
Dan AltieriNovember 11, 2013
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!
Daniel UgarteDecember 7, 2017
My first time, and yes. The chicken lived up to and surpassed the expectations. Ah-mazing, especially with a bottle of Coca Cola. (y)
Mike DizonDecember 30, 2011
You absolutely must get the fried chicken. A hidden gem. The stone crabs are great too, but you already know that. If u want to skip the line, grease the maitre'd a $50 (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Hands down best Key Lime Pie. So good that we had to order another! The King Crab legs were also the best I've ever had.
Luiz GeraldoNovember 6, 2016
The colossal crab was the biggest I ever saw, really tasty and worth every penny!
Jordan MFebruary 18, 2018
Blackened grouper sandwich, conch fritters and stone crab claws... #wheninflorida
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!
Alexander KuzminSeptember 30, 2014
SoBe must! Perfect food and so good crab claws and avocado crab salad.
Ali FadilJanuary 28, 2022
Lobster Mac and cheese ! This place is an institution. Worth the wait.
Alexandra SvirskayaDecember 19, 2014
Available two options: wonderful restaurant and take away buffet. Really delicious seafood.
Art Directors ClubMarch 26, 2013
Craving some succulent seafood? Head to Joe’s for its seasonal stone crab and other seafood specialties and sweet key lime pie. Just put on a bib and dig in.
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.
Ronda YvetteJanuary 12, 2014
Long wait & a bit pricey but sooo worth it! My absolute fav restaurant on south beach!
Dianne ProctorJuly 29, 2012
I love crab meat and Joe's has gigantic crab claws, crazy..They also every other kind of seafood you could want Word to the wise Joe's closes on August 5 and reopens October 1
Gary CarrMarch 26, 2016
The crabs are the best of course, but you must try the ribs and steaks. All was prepared perfectly!!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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

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

The local crabs' juicy white flesh is as sweet as lobster but only in season when the tourists are, mid-October through mid-May. Read more

Everything on the menu is amazing....even the fried chicken!
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

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.

The authentic home of the Sone Crab. Super food, great service, fine wine and drinks and a memorable atmosphere.
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.
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!
Michael McDonaldAugust 7, 2018
One of the most well-known restaurants in the country. You never know who you will see dining at Joe's.
Churchill SuitesSeptember 27, 2011

Upon arriving in south beach one must make it to Joe's (if open) within 24 hours...crabcake sandwich, stone crabs, turkey chili, fried chicken, French toast. It is all GREAT. Locals go twice a day!
