Hot spot

Established in 1913, Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach is more than a restaurant—it is a legendary dining destination. Famous for its iconic stone crabs and exceptional seafood, Joe’s combines timeless charm with an unwavering commitment to quality and hospitality. The restaurant’s enduring success is rooted in its dedication to food, family, and community, with its strong sense of unity being the key to its lasting appeal.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: With a history stretching back more than a century, Joe’s Stone Crab has become a Miami Beach must-visit for its fresh seafood and, of course, cracked stone crab claws. In 1998, it was named one of America’s Classics by the James Beard Foundation and continues to be a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Still owned by generations of the Weiss family, the sweeping, rollicking restaurant is a shellfish mecca, with classics like shrimp cocktail and oysters, as well as larger options like crabcakes and seafood paella.

The oysters were delicious. And the service was amazing. You can see they’re excellent teamwork like a well oiled machine. Our steak was ordered medium rare and it was still tough and not very flavorful. The stone crab was ok. Definitely like the idea of them cracking the shells for me, except that my claws had so many tiny shells to peel away like a hard boiled egg shell.

We went to Joe’s for the first time to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Although we’ve lived in Miami our entire lives and have dined at countless restaurants, we’ve never experienced service quite like this. The entire team worked together beautifully—it was seamless. You can tell the management must be outstanding because the level of coordination and teamwork is truly impressive. Our server Barry was incredible absolutely insanely incredible . The bellman was The head matri’D was amazing . The floor manager was am amazing. And the entire support staff was absolutely insanely awesome . All soooo very very professional and beautiful. Excellent food !!!

This is 3 stars and not fancy. Not a good client dinner place. Even though they take cc for reservation, they sat us 30mins late. Server was good. Place is really loud. Big table next to us with kids listening to devices with no headphones. At one point kid threw his playdough container at another table of two who looked to be on a date. No one at restaurant seemed to notice or care. Plenty of other places to try stone crabs.

Reservation for 6:30PM. Arrived 6:15PM, we were sat at 7:15. Served ALL our food 8:40. Yes that’s right 2 hours and 10 mins after our reservations we were served ALL of our food. We ordered crab claws but they came with the steaks. Our server said Surf and Turf was the norm? We’ve eaten at the locations in Chicago and Las Vegas several times. Never had that experience. $500 bill for two. Should have spent it somewhere else. We’ll do Chicago again but never this location.
