Joe’s Stone Crab Claws

11 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL

Operating for over 100 years, Joe’s is South Florida’s go-to for the best claws in town. But did you know that Joe didn’t always serve stone crab claws? As a matter of fact, there was a point in time when locals didn’t know the crustacean was edible. As their website states, “You shouldn’t have any reservations about coming to Joe’s. That’s why we don’t take them.” You may experience a long wait for a table, but that’s alright because you never know who you will spot at their famed bar scene. If waiting isn’t your thing, then check out Joe’s Take Away open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner or as its namesake says order to go and enjoy at home. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday from 6PM until 10PM and 11PM Fridays and Saturdays.
