You haven’t lived until you have dined at Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach.

It has been an annual sojourn for decades and my memories live up to the reality.

I shall escort you on a mouthwatering tour of Joe’s Stone Crab which opened in 1913:

Select Stone Crab Claws $44.95 chilled, sweet, meaty and succulent.

Hash Browns $6.95 crisp, tender, amazing.

Creamed Spinach $8.95 Creamy and good for you.

Key Lime Pie $10.95. Best anywhere and a crust to die for.

The staff is beyond gracious and competent.

Joe’s is still very Covid conscience and is even serving outside.

When in Miami, eat at Joe’s and our secret is arrive by 4:45, give your name to the maitre d…no wait!

If Early Bird timing is tough to swallow expect to wait a minimum of 1-2 hours during season.

Joe’s Stone Crab, a legit addiction.
