Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant turned out to be everything we could have ever hoped -- fantastic food, outstanding service. I was really impressed. We were a business party of eight, yet they took care of us beautifully and professionally as though were a small party of two. The food was uniformally outstanding, especially the stone crabs (very end of the... More

We had an excellent meal here and the whole experience lived up to the expectations we had from reading other reviews and recommendations. Firstly it gets busy and early. We arrived not long after 6pm opening and it was already clearly busy. So don't leave it too late, or if you do you'll have to be prepared to wait. We... More

I visited here with a large group and every one had the stone crabs. The come out on a large platter, just the claws, cooked and cracked. The are served with a cream style sauce. The sides were hash browns and veggies. All was delicious! It is a very large place and it seems that they move people through quickly.... More

The only reason for a less than perfect review is the price. I had one of the most expensive meals of my life and it was a lunch without alcohol. I happened to be there at a time when there was no wait. I had a server who seemed to be dedicated exclusively to me. He was extremely helpful and... More

This place is a must while in Miami. They don't take reservations - you'll have to wait at the bar, but it usually doesn't take long. We waited for 10 minutes before being seated. Try Alaska king crab - their special - fantastic!

I'm from Maryland, so the crabs in FL are a little sweeter than I'm used to. But the crabcakes were delicious none the less. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Great customer service. Everyone was really friendly. They have a dress code and we were rather (beach) casual with flip flops and tshirts, but it wasn't a problem. Bill was pretty decent for... More

Old school place with great service. We got there around 10ish PM on a Saturday; we were told the wait time was one hour but we decided to linger around by the entrance to the actual dining room because there was a lot of commotion and we couldn't understand how we could possibly hear our names- long story short- one...

I know that you have to wait for a table even with a reservation. And I know it's expensive. However, the stone crabs are fresh and delicious as is everything on the menu. Even the bread basket is special. We have never had anything less than great service. The key lime pie is the best I've ever had. I genuinely... More

Step back in time at this 100 year old establishment. We were lucky, getting there around 6:00 and got the last available table. When we left the wait was easily 2 hours. But there is a large bar or outside area. Most people did not seem to mind. Service is second to none. Ask, and it will be brought or... More

We have been to Joe's before (4 years ago) and I have a great memory of their chopped salad- which was as delicious this time as I remember last time. The experience was odd this time, the downfall was our waitress. She was extremely pushy. She had one goal and that was to make our bill as expensive as she... More
