    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
