Joe’s Stone Crab and Joe’s Take Away are closed through Oct. 15, 2026. The restaurant’s official hours notice says Take Away reopens at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 16, with restaurant dinner service returning that evening. Do not plan an early-October visit to Joe’s.
Joe’s previously listed $40 lunch and $65 dinner Miami Spice menus through Sept. 13. Although the wider program runs through Oct. 31 and the tourism bureau named Joe’s among Miami Beach participants, the restaurant has not confirmed a new October menu for after its reopening. Treat those prices and dishes below as a record of the expired offer, not a current booking option.
Joe’s Expired Miami Spice Menus: What Was Listed
On its official menus page, Joe’s Stone Crab shows a Miami Spice section with two prix-fixe menus marked “Available through September 13, 2026,” a date now past. The page lists lunch at $40 per person and dinner at $65 per person. Both are built around a choice of starter, entrée and dessert.
- Lunch ($40): starters include Stone Crab Bisque, a wedge salad, Stuffies and Shrimp Aguachile; entrées include Fried Half Chicken, Joe’s Burger, Ginger Salmon and a Shrimp and Crab Roll; dessert is Key Lime Pie or Guava Cheesecake.
- Dinner ($65): the same bisque, Stuffies and Shrimp Aguachile appear alongside a chopped salad and a Charred Octopus starter (listed with a $10 supplement). Entrées include Ginger Salmon, Fried Half Chicken, Branzino en Papillote, Picanha Steak Frites and the Joe’s Experience, a half order of Select Stone Crabs with grilled tomato, hashed brown potatoes and creamed spinach.
- Stone crab upgrades: the page lists a full order of Select Stone Crab as a $15 add-on and a full order of Large Stone Crab as $30.
These were the restaurant’s listed prices and dishes for an offer ending Sept. 13, not a confirmed October menu. Check Joe’s current menus and reopening notice before making plans.
Miami Spice Now Runs Through Oct. 31
The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau announced on Sept. 14, 2026 that the 25th edition of Miami Spice Restaurant Months is extended through Oct. 31. The release cites more than 400 participating restaurants across Greater Miami and Miami Beach, brunch and lunch at $40, dinner at $50 or $65, and a Miami Spice Reserve tier starting at $95. It names Joe’s Stone Crab among the Miami Beach participants.
Time Out Miami reports the extension is the first in the program’s 25 years, and that it also stretches the Camillus House fundraising component, in which diners can contribute through QR codes on participating menus.
Is Joe’s Serving Miami Spice After Reopening Oct. 16?
That remains unconfirmed. The bureau’s Sept. 14 release names Joe’s as a Miami Beach participant, but the restaurant’s own Miami Spice menu still shows a Sept. 13 end date and its hours page says it is closed until Oct. 16. The release does not establish that the old menu will return. Check the current Miami Spice directory and Joe’s official menus, then confirm the exact dates and prices with the restaurant.
Practical steps:
- Do not plan a visit to Joe’s before its announced Oct. 16 reopening; verify the current hours notice in case plans change.
- After reopening, ask Joe’s whether any Miami Spice lunch or dinner menu is offered on your date. Do not assume the expired $40 lunch or $65 dinner price still applies.
- For a Miami Spice meal earlier in October, choose an open restaurant from the official directory.
