Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant
Established in 1913, Joe's Restaurant has grown from a simple lunch counter into a full-service hot spot for seafood lovers. Joe's offers a take-away option with a separate menu, in case you're in the mood for dining in. Joe's also has a unique way of feeding hungry patrons around the country: you can order its signature dishes to be shipped anywhere around America by overnight delivery. Joe's specializes in stone crab claws, seafood platters and clam chowder, but it also offers sirloin steaks with bourbon sauce, rack of lamb and the requisite vegetables. For dessert, choose from chocolate pecan pie, homemade apple pie, flan or a warm bread pudding. This restaurant doesn't accept reservations. If you're trying to walk off a meal at Joe's, South Beach Park is only a short distance away, and is a picturesque place for a relaxing walk.
