About Joe's Stone Crab

Joe's Stone Crab is a Miami Beach institution that has been serving its world-famous stone crab claws since 1913, making it one of the oldest and most beloved restaurants in South Florida. Located on Washington Avenue in the heart of South Beach, this legendary establishment draws locals, celebrities, and tourists alike with its perfectly cracked stone crab claws served with mustard sauce, creamed spinach, and hash browns. The restaurant operates seasonally from October through May during stone crab season. Joe's does not take reservations for dinner, so expect a wait — but the takeaway counter offers the same quality with less hassle. Beyond stone crabs, the menu features excellent key lime pie, fried chicken, and fresh seafood. The elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere captures the spirit of old Miami Beach dining.
