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.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.
