Planning dinner at Joe’s Stone Crab? Check the season first. As of October 3, 2026, the restaurant says it is closed for its annual break and plans to reopen on October 16, 2026. This is a guide to one historic seafood restaurant, not a comparison of every seafood dinner in Miami Beach.
Why visitors choose Joe’s
Joe’s Stone Crab began as a Miami Beach lunch counter in 1913. Stone crab claws with mustard sauce remain its signature, alongside seafood, sides and key lime pie. The restaurant is at 11 Washington Avenue in South Beach. Its appeal is the long-running dining tradition and the stone crab menu, not an oceanfront dining room.
Menu and price check
Older menus and articles may show much lower prices. Use Joe’s current official menu for today’s sizes, market availability, sides and prices. The restaurant notes Florida’s stone crab season runs October 15–May 1 and that claws can be available year-round. Confirm availability when you book rather than assuming every size is offered.
Hours and reopening
The restaurant’s hours page says Joe’s Stone Crab and Joe’s Take Away closed starting September 14, 2026, with Take Away scheduled to return at 11:30 AM and restaurant dinner service to resume on October 16. Check that page again near your visit, especially if you are traveling specifically for the reopening.
