Joe's Stone Crab
From its humble origins in 1913 as a beachside seafood
stand, Joe's Stone Crab has grown to become a Miami institution. Located on the end of South Beach at 11 Washington Avenue,
Joe's serves up some of the tastiest seafood in Miami.
Joe's, of course, is famous for stone crab claws and,
in fact, claims to be the place where this tasty treat was first discovered. If you plan to dine on their signature dish,
be sure to bring your credit card. Stone crab claws range in price up to $50 per serving, depending upon the size of the claws.
If you're looking for something different, there are plenty of other seafood and meat entrees on the menu in the $20-$30 price
range. I heartedly recommend their seafood bisque as an excellent start to any meal at Joe's.
In addition to being famous for seafood, Joe's is also famous for providing mediocre (at best!) customer service. If you plan to dine in the restaurant, you'll be well served to time your arrival for an early or late meal. At peak hours, the wait for a table at Joe's can exceed two hours. And wait you must -- Joe's does not take reservations. The only way to avoid the wait is to earn yourself a spot on Joe's VIP list.
One other very important note -- Joe's is only open during stone crab season. You'll find the doors shuttered if you arrive between May and mid-October.
