Restaurant · Miami, United States
No traveler has reviewed it yet. Yours would be the first on this page, and the bad parts are the useful parts.

A seafood restaurant in South of Fifth, Miami Beach, open since 1913 and known almost entirely for Florida stone crab claws.
To eat the dish this city is most associated with, in the room that made it famous, during the months it is actually in season.
Genuine history, a single ingredient done properly, a takeaway counter that bypasses the queue, and a quiet residential corner of the island.
Cost, waits, dated sides, and a season that makes half the year the wrong time to come.
Anybody in Miami between mid October and the start of May who wants one memorable meal, and travelers happy to use the takeaway counter.
You are visiting between May and mid October, or you are not prepared to spend meaningfully more than a normal dinner costs.
Come inside the 15 October to 1 May season. Use Joe's Take Away next door if the wait is long, or eat at the bar, which moves faster than the dining room. South of Fifth is walkable from most of South Beach.
Not applicable. Prices for claws move with the season and the catch.
South of Fifth, at the southern tip of Miami Beach. Walkable from South Beach, and the free South Beach trolley loop comes close.
South of Fifth is the quietest, most residential part of Miami Beach, well away from the Ocean Drive strip. South Pointe Park and the pier are a few minutes away.
Two hours with a wait, well under one at the takeaway counter.
Ground floor dining room with step free access from the street.
Go in season or do not go. If the wait looks bad, the takeaway counter next door serves the same claws and is the move most visitors do not know about.

Joe's has been on the southern tip of Miami Beach since 1913, which in this city is close to prehistory, and it is built entirely around one ingredient with a legally defined season. Florida stone crab season runs from 15 October to 1 May. Outside it the restaurant is a different and lesser proposition, and inside it the wait can be long enough to reorganise your evening around. The thing worth understanding is that…
