Best Seafood Institution in Miami · Miami, FL
Joe's Stone Crab has been a Miami Beach institution since 1913, the restaurant that turned the Florida stone crab into a delicacy. Every winter season the vast, white-jacketed dining room serves chilled claws with mustard sauce, hash browns, creamed spinach, and Key lime pie to a famously no-reservations crowd.
Family-run for over a century, Joe's is an authentic piece of old Miami Beach — a seafood temple whose ritual (and its wait) is as much the draw as the crab itself.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Joe's Stone Crab cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
Founded in 1913, Joe's predates the city of Miami Beach itself and made the stone crab a Florida icon.
