Joe's Stone Crab
Possibly the most famous restaurant in Miami Beach, Joe's Stone Crab has been serving stone crabs for 97 years. Loud and brash, Joe's does not take reservations, so prepare for a long wait in the winter.
Joe's serves fresh Florida seafood, steaks and sandwiches, but diners mainly come here for the stone crab claws that are served chilled with mustard sauce. Eat here once for the experience, then visit Joe's take-away, located next door, to take home the same stone crab claws without the long lines.
