So let me tell you what to order for you best experience at this institution.
First thing first, when should we go?
Opening Time
There is a particular stone crab season and most of stone crab restaurants don’t even open during out-season.
You can read more about the reason here why they only open on certain month of the year.

First thing you have to order is, of course, stone crabs.
Stone Crab
But there are few different sizes which are Jumbo, Large, Select, Medium.
We ordered few Mediums and few Jumbos as they ran out of Large.
Jumbo was the tastiest and if you can, you should and must order JUMBO.
Stone Crab Legs
I know Joe’s Stone Crab is known for the stone crabs but when I had their King Crab Legs, I was blown.
Among Joe’s Stone Crab Miami menu, Stone Crab was the best!
It was so juicy and fresh, I could have actually ordered one more King Crab.
The only problem was that it was so expensive.
Fillers
Of course, with just crabs, it is not enough. I think it is best to just order many starters / Potatoes and vegetables.
Left was “I forgot” and the right was coconut shrimp
I know ordering fried chicken and steak can be tempting, but if you are going to order steak, you should go to a steak house.
And I could recommend you some of the best steakhouse in Miami.

Joe’s Stone Crab Bar
What I really liked about Joe’s Stone Crab bar had this old restaurant vibe that has been around forever.
I mean actually it is an old restaurant that opened in 1913.
It feels very traditional and classy. So while we could have arrived on time, we went thirty minutes early and went to the bar and drank like classy (not-so lol) people.
Overall, it wasn’t a cheap experience but definitely you should try at least once if you are going to Miami.
