Customer Review Summary

Diners consistently single out the stone crab claws as the centerpiece, describing them as fresh, sweet, and perfectly cracked, always served with the signature mustard sauce. Close behind are the sides and starters that reviewers return for: the hash browns are repeatedly called perfectly crispy, the creamed spinach rich and decadent, and the baked stuffed clams a standout appetizer. The famous Key lime pie earns its own spotlight, with several calling it the most incredible slice they have ever had. Service draws frequent praise as professional and well orchestrated, with one server noted for explaining the restaurant's history and teaching diners the proper way to eat the chilled claws, while another sommelier is described as very helpful with wine pairings. A recurring practical note is the long wait for the main dining room, with one reviewer reporting a two hour wait and suggesting the more casual takeaway counter next door as a faster alternative for those focused purely on the food.

    5/5. Phenomenal food, atmosphere, and service. Stone crab was tasty and easy to eat. Fried chicken surprisingly juicy and crispy. Great attention to detail for an established family run business. Waiters in tuxedo are an added touch.

    Review for Takeaway part of the restaurant. Main part had 2 hour wait so we just went next door to the more casual part of the restaurant where you can get things to go or to dine in. Everything we tried was very good. Crab bisque was my favorite along with the seafood salad. The salad was huge, perfect entree size. We also shared baked tomato and potato latzke. You order at the register and everything is brought to your table. Honestly if you in it for food and not ambiance this is even better and faster than main restaurant.

    Joe’s Stone Crab absolutely lived up to the hype. From the second we sat down, the energy felt iconic old school Miami in the best possible way. The stone crab claws were insanely fresh, the creamed spinach was rich and decadent, the hash browns were perfectly crispy, and those mussels with the garlic bread? Criminally good. Every single thing that hit the table was a moment. But the real standout was Natika. Attentive without hovering, hilarious, sharp, and somehow always appearing exactly when we needed something. She made the experience feel personal and elevated instead of just another famous restaurant stop. Service like that is rare. You can tell why this place has been around forever. It’s not trendy for TikTok, it’s legendary because it consistently delivers. The kind of dinner where halfway through you already know you’ll be talking about it for weeks after. Miami has a lot of flashy spots, but Joe’s reminds everyone why classics never go out of style. Full stomachs, butter everywhere, bibs on, cocktails flowing, zero regrets. LFGGGGG.

    We had a great experience at joes. The food was great as always. The service was as expected professional courteous with a family feel to it. Zac was our waiter and he went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was excellent. The environment was relaxed and very enjoyable.
  • Joshua Lidberg
    Amazing experience! This has been our first time visiting Joes stone crab and the experience was phenomenal. Outdoor seating is very cozy, like you are tucked away in some old town square. Our waiter was amazing, didn’t catch his name but …
