Joe’s Seafood Prime Steak & Stone Crab

So, it probably doesn’t help that I’m not much of a seafood gal, BUT for my first true experience in giving it a whirl, it wasn’t too bad. I splurged a little, tried the plate of Stone Crab claws, but I couldn’t get over the fact that I had to … you know. shell it! My friend graciously took care of that part and I enjoyed the fruit of his labor LOL It was good.
I also had a steak, which was fine. I’ve certainly had better at top steak houses elsewhere in the country (cough*Gibsons in Chicago* cough.). But for my last night in vegas, it was just the ticket!
I do believe though, for a lesser priced meal at a less fancier place, I could have had the same experience.

Couple of friends and I were near Joe’s so we thought we’d stop in for a late lunch. As a LEYE fan, we would not be disappointed.
We were seated in the «outdoor» area and then Jon P, server, had greeted us. Since I’ve been to Joe’s in Chicago, I knew exactly what I would order. The other two guys, it was their first time. Jon was very patient with us since we were also trying to catch up with each other.
I had ordered had ordered the Fried Chicken, Cottage Fries, the other guys had ordered Bisque Soup and Chopped Salad. The third guy had ordered the Turkey Sandwich. Within couple of minutes the soup was delivered. Few additional minutes, the balance of the meal was delivered. My friends were really surprised on huge the portions are. All of the food were seasoned just right. The Fried Chicken, as always, incredible. Even of my of friends had to try the chicken and agreed.
For dessert, we decided to split the Key Lime Pie. The slice was the right size to split.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food and service.

A classic from Miami that does not disappoint.
Stone crab claws are offered in several sizes. Whoa! Just so good
If you order everything as family style, everyone will get to try but that is if you’re willing to share.
Service is great. Knowledgeable and efficient wait staff. Their suggestions are helpful rather than pushy.
Save room for the Key Lime Pie. I’ve never had it anyplace else that is as good.

I had the Manhattan chowder to start — it was fine, but nothing mind blowing. Also wanted to try the stone crab, as I’d never had them before. My server suggested the Select stone crab claws (a taster of two claws) and they were succulent. The mustard sauce has just enough bite. My main was the Dover sole in a brown butter sauce, deboned at the table. One of the tastiest fish dishes I’ve ever had, and it was also a suggestion from my server. I ordered their key lime pie to go as well for later! Everything was spot on. I want to go back tomorrow! Outstanding meal, such a great experience, and super attentive service.
As a solo diner, I felt spoiled and had a truly wonderful evening.

Holy crab claws. This spot does not mess around. Everything is excellent from the service, to the seafood, to the steaks.
Had a tremendous Englishwoman as our server. She was sassy and knowledgeable and provided impeccable recommendations (how many crab claws to get, suggested that I get my bone in filet medium as opposed to my usual medium rare to avoid a cool bone).
The large crab claws were impressive and generally amazing. The bone in filet had a wonderful crust. Even the chopped salad was really well executed.
It’s easy to eat here when it’s covered by work. Between the three of us, we dropped $ 600 (the other two fools kept on ordering quality scotch… I was super jealous as I wasn’t drinking but that’s another story). So yeah I wouldn’t come here if you’re looking to save a penny or two.
I would still make a point to come here and pay for a great meal on my own dime. I would seek this place out if you’re looking for a great combination of seafood and steak. If you’re just gunning for the one of the greatest steaks in your life you may want to look elsewhere (but it’s still incredible here).
By the way my buddies asked for their steak rub to go and they gladly accommodated for free. A pretty nice to go cup that will season up my steaks in the future!

Fabulous lunch! Read the reviews and decided to give it a go… SO glad we did!
We had crab cakes, crab bisque, crab Louis salad, key lime pie, and banana cream pie at our table.
The bread bowl alone was worth the pricey cost of lunch!
Highly recommended!

Oysters Rockefeller ⁵⁄₅ — the cheese and spinach with the oyster had the right proportions (because some restaurants tend to overdo the cheese or overdo the spinach).
Stone Crab ⁵⁄₅ — it was good (you can never go wrong with stone crabs though).
Crab bisque ⁵⁄₅ — very good… almost like a comfort food… very cream and rich.
Chilean seabass ²⁄₅ — i think this is overpriced. $ 42 for a small piece of fish (that i didnt even finish), i was expecting more from it since i thought you can never go wrong with bass but the sauce was way too salty and overpowering, the fish wasnt even as good as Im used to.
Sole ²⁄₅ — also a very overpriced fish. Again, the sauce overpowered the fish. And $ 47 for a piece of fish, not worth it.
Key lime pie ⁴⁄₅ — it was pretty good, perfect balance of sweet and sour… Great ending to a seafood dinner.

So good! Don’t hold back. We were probably some of the youngest in the restaurant but they treated us no differently. This is the type of place where they switch out your white cloth napkin for a black napkin if you’re wearing a black dress. Intimate booths, dark wood, and suited up waiters. reminds me a bit of House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. It’s a refreshing classic dining experience.
Started off with a beautiful assortment of bread. My favorite was the crispy cheese flatbread. I knew we were in for a treat when the amuse bouche arrived — hamachi and caviar. We ordered the popular Stone Crabs. I’m used to dirtying my hands for crab meat but these Stone Crabs come pre-​cracked and didn’t want to budge out of the rock hard shells. Kept us preoccupied for a little while. Fresh nonetheless. The Seared Scallops were perfectly cooked and came with some of the best bacon jam i’ve come across. The cauliflower mash surprised me, i thought it was actually mashed potatoes! Creamy and buttery, you would never know otherwise. I can rave about the chilean sea bass but i’m pretty sure every dish here is worth of 5 stars.
Best part, they offer half portions of pie slices. There’s always room for dessert. Don’t miss the coconut cream pie. The cream is almost marshmallow like in consistency and flavor.

We chose Joe’s specifically because of the reviews and awards. We left fully understanding why they have been in business for over 100 years. It’s a simple plan really: Do one thing and do it well. Joe’s knows seafood! And in our opinion, Joe’s prices are perfectly matched to the quality of the product and the delivery of the service. Dining at Joe’s was an experience, not just a meal. And we love when dining out is a complete experience!
Our visit started off on the right foot. We approached the Host stand and were greeted with a smile by a gentlemen in a black tux. I gave him our name and he was expecting us, knew we were from St. Louis and knew we had a dining club back home. Bonus points for being so detail-​oriented and for paying attention to the notes I put in our reservation. His name was Gabe. He then directed us to a beautifully dressed table (The tables were dressed to the hilt and the chairs were very comfortable and conducive to a leisurely sit. A beautifully dressed table is the second sign of a good restaurant. Hint: the first sign is how you are greeted by the host/​hostess) and handed us the lunch menu, special menu for the day and the extensive wine list. He informed us our server would be Perry and wished us an enjoyable meal. Well done, Gabe!
Even though the restaurant seemed fairly full (a great sign for a Monday at noon during the two slowest weeks in Vegas!), Perry was over in a millisecond to greet us. He was professional, efficient, friendly, was quick to give us a bit of background on the restaurant and their goals, and offered us bottled or tap water. I love it when the waiter, manager, chef, etc., take the time to give you some history and explain the restaurant’s goal. It gives me an idea of what to expect and some insight into why the menu is the way it is.
To start things off, we ordered wine (Riesling, Dr. Pauly-​Bergweiler, Noble House, Mosel, GER) by the glass ($ 8 — very reasonable and a deep pour), but we would have preferred a half-​bottle, but there were no Rieslings offered that way. That was a bit of a bummer, but their wine list is extensive, so I feel most people would find many choices to select from. Bottle prices ranged from $ 40’s to $ 7k with a lot in the $ 40-​$ 70 range. With that, we received a bread basket with several fresh-​made choices to munch while we made our selections.
This day was about shellfish! For our appetizer, we selected the Madagascar Shrimp ($ 17 ea). It’s grilled and served shell removed, head on. The server finished the prep at tableside. It is hands down the largest shrimp I’ve ever eaten, much less seen! It had to be 8 inches long (no joke, folks, see the picture with reference to the server’s hand) and probably was 6−7oz after cooking. We split ONE and it was plenty as an appetizer. It was grilled to perfection; I highly recommend this.
Our «second course» was the Jumbo Alaskan King Crab (6oz appetizer portion $ 22). It was served beautifully, over ice, pre-​cracked, and garnished such that it was a sight for the eyes in addition to the taste buds! The chilled, drawn butter was superb. It was real, true drawn butter and it added to the crab, instead of detracting from it. Although, the crab did stand on its own.
For our «third course» we shared the Joe’s Classic Two-​Course Luncheon Special. It consisted of five medium Stone Crab Claws (I thought they were very large for medium claws), Hashed Browns, Cole Slaw and Key Lime Pie ($ 35 — an excellent deal for this price!). So, the Stone Crab — perfection! The meat is sweet, smooth and melts in your mouth. Seriously the best crab I’ve eaten. The hashed browns are very good, without being overly engineered. Now, the cole slaw. Oh. My. God. It comes out of the kitchen as cabbage, apple cider vinegar, Hellmann’s mayo, sweet pickle relish, some pepper, salt and sugar. Perry mixed it table side and it was out of this world! The best slaw ever!!!
And lastly, the Key Lime Pie. It should be noted that I don’t eat pie. But my husband had his first bite and raved about it, so I felt I had to try it… you know, for the sake of a complete review! Let me say, it was heaven! I’m fairly certain not all Key Lime pies taste like that, so I am not ready to call myself a pie lover, but I’d eat Joe’s Key Lime again in a heartbeat! It’s brightness was the perfect note to end on after the richness of our crab and shrimp.
At the end, Perry came by with lemons and a hot towel. He squeezed lemon over our hands, then laid the hot towel over them and rubbed a bit. We finished off the process and were super glad they do that since we’d certainly dove right in with our fingers for this delicious meal!
Overall, superb experience! Food, service, atmosphere — all excellent. And, in my opinion, appropriately priced for the quality of what you receive.

Food great as usual. Had a pound of Alaskan and bone in filets. Service outstanding, they make you feel like royalty.
We had to wait a few minutes past our reservation time. No big deal because we had a drink in the nice bar. The maitre d apologized graciously then sent us two huge pieces of pie on the house after dinner to make up for it. You can’t get better than this place people.
PS. You three star and under people crack me up. Anyone eating here and giving this place less than 4 stars has no credibility and defective taste buds.

So we went back to Joe’s and talked to their manager, Matt, and told him about our ahi from the last visit. Well Matt was amazing! If your in Vegas this is a must stop spot. Customer service is the best! So we did the Ahi again and wow perfect!!! So note to self… They care about your happiness at Joe’s.
This time the ahi was perfect!
This review was last week:
This is the best value in Vegas. Don’t misunderstand me… It’s not free but it’s amazing! You get what you pay for. Their fish were perfect cuts and cooked exactly as we asked! That goes a long with me! The sea bass was INSANE! Their ahi tuna steaks were served a little too cold for my palate but cooked to perfection. The service is wonderful and quick. We walked in and had a deadline before our show and they totally met our expectations. We have had some wonderful evenings here especially when we have more time to enjoy. Love this spot!

Pretty much all I can say is WOW. This place blew us away with only a couple of small things I wish could have been different.
When I finally narrowed down where we would be going for my Birthday dinner, I easily made a reservation via OpenTable and requested a table in the back (got this info from other Unilocal reviews) and said it was going to be my Birthday.
We took a cab to Caesar’s after getting a very late start to the day, did a little gambling and then walked through the Forum Shoppes to the restaurant. We were escorted to the Host Desk for the back of the restaurant and were seated in a large booth looking onto the rest of the back room. Everyone was friendly and worked together as a team seamlessly.
Our waiter was very reserved while still having a nice sense of humor. I ordered a Cosmo which was perfectly balanced and with a perfect punch. The bread basket was yummy with lavash to devour and an assortment of breads. Our favorite was a cheese and shallot ciabatta. We started with a medium order of the Stone Crabs (less sweet than Dungeness but more meaty and tender). It came with a mayo based dipping sauce, but I asked for cocktail sauce and they also brought clarified butter). The cocktail sauce was awesome and had a nice kick on its own, but what was so cool is that there was a dollop of horseradish on the side like a garnish, but to allow each guest to make their cocktail sauce a spicy as they want it. It was something I had never seen before and quite memorable.
We shared a chopped salad which was kindly split in the kitchen. It was underdressed and one of the items we wished we hadn’t ordered. For our mains, the Husband opted for the Beef Wellington (as rare as possible) and I ordered the bone in ribeye– medium rare. For sides to share, we opted for the GreenBeans ammadine (not almandine) and the special of AuGratin Potatoes. My steak was beautiful. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned and truthfully probably the best rib eye I have eaten in a restaurant of any caliber (and I have had many). The Wellington was too rare for me to taste, but the husband loved it and we really liked the green beans. The only «miss» here were the potatoes as they were pretty unremarkable and missing cheese and proper seasoning.
I had been looking forward to the key lime pie I had been reading about as my birthday dessert, so when the waiter brought out a very rich chocolate brownie sundae with a candle, I was a bit disappointed. I am a peasant when it comes to chocolate (I consider milk See’s the fancy kind I like), this brownie was so rich even my husband could only muster a few bites. When our waiter came by, I inquired about a slice of the key lime pie, and he asked if I wanted a half slice (who knew they could do that?). I was glad I spoke up and my half slice arrived promptly and was the perfect way for me to end a rich and satisfying meal.
Winner Winner Birthday Dinner and seriously look forward to coming back here someday.
.

A high class restaurant to say the least. This is comparable to Mastro’s or Boa Steakhouse.
The atmosphere of this place just exudes class. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was transported to a beautiful ballroom in the Titanic where all the upper class elite are dining.
The service here is impeccable and the food is the epitome of what every restaurant should aspire to be.
I started off with a peach flavored martini rimmed with sugar that was delicious. I could barely taste the alcohol and it went down so smoothly.
Our first appetizer was a 12-​piece Rockefeller oyster rack. I am in awe at how fresh and tasty it was! I feel like they had just plucked the oysters from the ocean and brought it right to my plate. All of the oysters were perfectly chilled and the mix of sauces it came with made my mouth water. This was definitely the highlight of the night.
The crab bisque is a must have! I loved every second of this soup. The flavors were so complex and at every corner I tasted a different flavor. It is creamy and hearty all in one.
I ordered the pan sautéed branzino fish with lemon and capers. I enjoyed it. It’s a healthy option and the sauce they use is drool worthy.
We ordered the key lime pie for dessert and it was bomb! Tart and sweet with a kick ass crust. I salute Joe’s for creating the best key lime pie in California.
Overall, this was an amazing meal and I am so happy we came here for dinner! With all of the options in Vegas, I think we definitely made the right choice.

President Obama,
With all the ridiculous «National _​_​_​_​Days» dedicated to superfluous foods like cheese doodles (March 5^th) and stupid specific eats like cherry popsicles (August 26^th), it’s about time you stepped in and made executive decisions on something that is clearly getting out of hand. Who the hell is rejoicing over a cheese doodle that isn’t still living in their parents basement playing N64? What if I choose to have a blue flavored popsicle on ⁸⁄₂₆? Will Destiny’s Child come out of nowhere and start singing «No, No, No»?
October 15^th is WIDE OPEN. It’s the officially the first day of Florida stone crab season! I am sure you have sampled these incredible claws at a fancy dinner or two during your tenure as the leader of the free world. You cannot deny that they are some of the most delicious crustaceans on the planet!
So in love with these claws I am, here is my proposal:
— ¹⁰⁄₁₅ will be a federal holiday and be known as «National Stone Crab Day». Even for vegetarians.
— Instead of only celebrating the day with bullshit Facebook posts, I was thinking something more along the lines of New Year’s Eve. There would be fireworks, confetti, and instead of holding a glass of champagne, everyone will have a large crab claw from Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab. They will bite in it when the clock strikes midnight.
— I’ve already drafted letters to several high standing Nevada officials about closing Las Vegas Boulevard that evening to throw a parade that will end at Joe’s at Caesars Palace. Judging by my persuasive and emotionally charged message, I am confident this will be granted.
— A live televised east coast party at the original one, Joe’s Stone Crab, in Miami hosted by Ryan Seacrest with Pitbull as the musical guest.
— The dip for the crab is almost equally as magnificent and should be considered for its own day. We could go with the extremely catchy phrase: Happy National «amazing crab dip sauce from Joe’s that is pretty much crack sauce and should accompany every single bite of claw meat» Day!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Philip T.

They should change the name from Joes seafood to Joes Pies, Because while the seafood and steak are below average there Pie (KEY LIME) made in house, is just perfection.
I am not sure why they have such a high rating. Service was really good and the waiter knew his stuff the price-​point is a bit high but quality of food is lacking!!!
The bread they bring out as an appetizer was standard some pieces though tasted like hospital bread, you know the bread they serve in a plastic bag at the hospitals. NOT IMPRESSED.
I ordered the Filet Mingon and I was not impressed more so disappointed … I ordered it medium on the bone. Half the steak was cooked well and the inside was cooked medium. The filet was chewy at the end and not packed with that juicy flavor you suppose to get out of a filet. The ends toward the bone were very very fatty. POORLY COOKED FILET MINGON.
The swordfish was not good. Did not taste fresh and was a bit on the rubbery side. Just so wrong. The sauce that comes on top was flavorless.
The stuffed mushrooms with spinach were very good and tasted great, perfect play between cheesy and crunchy.
I believe there specialty is stone crab but we didn’t try it. Its supposedly these crabs that they tear off one claw and throw them back into the ocean…
My suggestion though is with a bill close to 160 dollars for food the quality of two entrees 2 deserts and a cappuccino did not deliver great quality food for value.
THE ONLY REASON I WOULD GO BACK IS FOR THERE AMAZING PIE. WHILE THE BANANA FOSTER IS GOOD THE KEY LIME PIE IS JUST HEAVEN ON EARTH MADE BY THE KEY LIME PIE GDS. ITS BEYOND AMAZING. I’m a huge fan of key lime pie and this is in the top two best key lime pies Ive ever had in my life. GO THERE AND JUST ASK FOR A SLICE OF KEY LIME PIE. They have a baker that comes in every morning and specifically bakes THE PIES. It delivers freshness and this thick graham crust, its scary to say PERFECT.
KEY POINTS TO KNOW ABOUT SEATING:
IF YOU ARE GOING THERE FOR DINNER EVEN AFTER I SUGGEST YOU LOOK FOR ANOTHER PLACE WITH BETTER QUALITY FOOD AND YOU WANT THE WHITE TABLECLOTH DARK DINNER FEEL, WALK TO THE BACK… ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. IF YOU SPEAK WITH THE MAN THAT SITS YOU IN FRONT HE WILL SIT YOU AT TABLES NEAR THE BAR AREA OR OUTSIDE BY THE FRONT WHICH IS GREAT FOR LUNCH BUT I REALLY DIDN’T WANT THE WHOLE EAT DINNER OVERLOOKING MALL SHOPS EXPERIENCE FOR LATE DINNER. SO JUST HEAD ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK… The place is huge and there is more seating options than what you see. They have an upstairs and a romantic dim lit back room.

If ever there was a place for overall consistency it has been Joe’s and I hope it always remains that way.
It just feels genuinely nice to walk in and chat it up with the maitre de who creates the experience right off the bat and the rest follow up to knock it out of the park. I guess we frequent here enough over the years for them to recognize us and our waitress who remembers waiting on us many times even thought we were locals. That still is such a rare find nowadays.
Once again I couldn’t stray and I ended up getting the grilled seafood platter. For me killing scallops, lobster, and shrimp in one reasonably priced meal sends my wallet into financial euphoria. Above that though everything is always so fresh and cooked to magnificent texture. I always wish though I had just enough room for the banana cream pie with banana foster sauce. OMG!
This truly is what I believe the best seafood on the strip and partnered with amazing service has been what’s kept me in the door all these years and for the many more yet to come!

Back we went to introduce a California couple to Joe’s Seafood Prime Steak & Stone Crab in The Forum Shops, with its classic clubby steak house Chi-​Town or NYC ambiance punctuated by black tux-​clad waiters, white tablecloths, and black leather booths, coupled with a dash of Miami elegance underscored by black-​clawed Stone Crab legs. This elegant restaurant even has a coat check service!
I began with a meaty Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and very good Manhattan Clam Chowder, followed by an excellent Caesar Salad with anchovies quickly brought forward when I requested them. This time I concentrated on the sea, and enjoyed an entrée of delicious steamed Jumbo King Crab Legs along with some of Diane’s poached Jumbo Lobster dipped in drawn butter. A large side of juicy yet crispy Hashed Brown Potatoes was particularly noteworthy (and no doubt fattening!).
Service was very good except Diane received unwanted char on her Filet and was erroneously told that no vegetables or onions were included in the Crab Bisque after she asked for no char and vegetable-​free soup. Our guests seemed pleased with the food, service, and ambiance, as was I.
Once again 4 stars overall, and this time almost 5!

The Skinny: come for lunch as the prices are much more reasonable — get the 2 course lunch for a great deal. The turkey avocado sammy is my fav (3.5) service is solid (4) value: depends on what you order. Stick to the sandwiches and the 2 course lunch and you should make out fine (3.5 bump up to 4)
Just to preface this review — Stone crab is not all that for me. Neither is crab in general. But we still make our way to Joe’s for lunch to catch some of their other menu items.
We usually go during the summer when Lettuce Entertain You club members receive coupons to dine in their local joints. Usually there is a coupon for Joe’s which is a major score (yay!).
We’ve tried different iterations of things but the true stand outs for us is the lunch menu which is way easier on the wallet than dinner.
My perennial favorite is their turkey avocado sandwich. Served with real roasted moist turkey and a nice thick slice of bacon, it is a simple dish done really well. Love the combination of alfalfa sprouts, tomato and avocado. The fried sweet potato fries are pretty solid but nothing special. For $ 16, this is as affordable for a place like Joe’s gets.
The hubs loves their sliced rib eye French dip with sautéed mushrooms and onions and a side of fries. ($ 22) It’s messy/​juicy but oh so good sandwich served on a ciabatta roll. The french fries again are nothing special.
The two course lunch is a good deal if you consider how much they charge for sides and dessert. Between the two options of Alaskan king crab vs. the steak, I would opt for the crab.
Really, the crab is only okay in my books. Portion size for this is pretty small — about 5 small legs. Where it stands out is the lyonnaise potatoes and roasted sweet corn. The lyonnaise potatoes is kind of like a large mound of hash browns topped with caramelized onions. Greasy but very tasty. The roasted sweet corn with a hint of lime is great too. Both portion sizes for the sides are really a lot for one person and easily shared. It comes with Havana dream pie which is essential a Boston cream pie minus the chocolate topping and instead dulce de leches with a hit of cinnamon. If you decide you want banana cream pie or key lime pie instead (both are pretty good), they will accommodate you. All of this for around $ 28 – 29.
The steak option is okay — just the mashed potatoes are boring while the sautéed spinach is nothing special.
Service is prompt generally during lunch hours due to all the power lunches that go down here. As soon as you are seated, they make sure the water glasses are filled and a basket of warmed bread is placed while you peruse the menu. The bread basket is okay but I find myself partial to the Parker roll and the lavosh — both are kind of guilty pleasures.
Overall, Joe’s is nothing particularly innovative. But it is good food executed well generally. Value is largely during the lunch hours with decent eats for a more reasonable price point. 3.5 starred review with bump up to 4.

Having walked by Joe’s many times in the past six years and intrigued by the camaderie of the restaurant, I finally decided to make a reservation here for my pop’s birthday dinner. After having our dinner here, I have decided Joe’s is actually a 3-​star restaurant hidden behind their parade of waiters in suits and their famous Stone Crab.
In a city bustling with celebrity chef restaurants, Joe’s fails to scratch at the surface of the upper echelon that consists of places like SW Steakhouse or Joel Robuchon. There’s no single bad element that defines Joe’s, but it was a combination of little miscues that diminished my experience here.
1) mac & cheese was too runny for my liking. I thought gourmet mac & cheese would have more texture, but this side dish was slathered in Kraft-​like liquid cheese.
2) Most upscale joints have their waiters/​assistants scrap off bread crumbs off the white tablecloth onto a pan. Details like that are supposed to enhance your fine-​dining experience. But this particular evening, the assistant to our waiter just scraped the breadcrumbs onto the ground. I felt that small detail made my dinner less-​than-​memorable.
3) The complimentary bread was less than stellar. I have had better bread at lower $$ establishments. I liked that there was variety to the bread basket, but some of the choices tasted stale.
Pops and I both ordered the steak & lobster dinner. Dinner tasted delicious, but it fails to distinguish itself from previous steak and seafood joints I have eaten at. Is Joe’s worth visiting once in your lifetime? Yes, it has some good qualities. The mashed potatoes were very good and I enjoyed the custom-​inked cloth napkins in the upstairs restroom. I just don’t find myself rushing back here anytime soon.

ELEGANTLY STONE ME!
MIND BLOWN! First of all… the décor reminds me of where all the top dog mobsters would dine & plan their riches… ahahaha there is a host in a raised podium area that greets you & takes down your name & calls your name through speaker when your table is ready.
Hubby & I luckily got invited to dine here for my lovely YAYA’s 50^th birthday party! We started off at the bar while we waited for our reservations & got to see gorgeously rimmed martinis & cocktails being made.
We were placed inna private room since we had a party of 14 & I think one of the guests were also a frequent diner. I wish I heard the server’s name but there was so much going on w/​people talking that I don’t recall his name =[ but whoever you are… you know who you are & you were FREAKEN AWESOME! o8.26.15 was the date so to managent give this server props! One of the guests said he wanted fruit loops cereal as a joke & this guy pops up out of NO WHERE! w/​a box of mini fruit loops cereal & says «your dinner is served sir» OMG OMG way to give the birthday girl the best laugh & wonderment of her life
LARGE STONE CRAB $M/​P — We got one claw each as an appetizer & my yaya & I also shared the large order for our main as well. These were served cold which I am definitely usually not a big fan of… but man! These claws just were so freakishly DERICIOUS I just could stop stuffing my face!
BLT WEDGE SALAD $ 15.95 — This salad was simple yet so good & refreshing
BONE-​IN RIB EYE $ 59.95 — rib eye just has the most flavor. HUGE 24 oz. Bone-​in rib eye is the way to go w/​the most flavor packed juiciness! The steak was cooked to perfection
ROASTED SWEET CORN $ 9.95 — this side is the most ADDDICTING thing I have put in my mouth & just had to keep having more & more even though I was stuffed
BAKED POTATO $ 8.95 — topped w/​roasted onions & some sour cream on the side. It literally did not look like your average baked potato… it was crispy & soft all at the same time. The roasted onions also gave it a hint of sweetness.
BREAD — complimentary bread was served at the beginning & my favorite one was the roasted onion bread! I ate 3 loaves… also came w/​pretzel bun, plain dinner roll, slice of some kind of raisain bread?, & cheese crisp flat bread…
CHOCOLATE CAKE — the birthday cake once cut was served w/​a cute little scoop of vanilla ice cream & I ate two! Ugh… the most MOIST cake you will put in your mouth & just thinking about it make me drool!
Everything was served a la carte. I dream about the sweet corn & the stone claws… so I will be back to claw this place down!

Ableger von Joe’s Stone Crab aus Miami.
Sehr schön mit dunklem Holz in Bistrostyle eingerichtet. Bedienungen anfangs freundlich
aber mit Schwächen im Service. Wir bestellten César Salat der ganz toll war wie er sein muss. Dann kam die große Stone Crab Platte, bedeute gedünstete und bereits geknackte Scheren der berühmten Riesenkrabben aus den Florida Keys. Unglaublich frisch und lecker, feines Aroma mit sehr lecker Sauce zum dippen. Ein Geschmackserlebniss ich gebe trotz des nicht besonderen Services fünf Sterne.
