I was looking forward to checking out Joe's Stone Crab for dinner to check out Miami Beach's #1 crab institution. BUT.... it is only open seasonally. Boo! I arrived two weeks early :(
The outside dining area
The view from the gates - this place is huge!
Verdict: No. Okay, granted, I didn't actually eat here since it was closed, but I saw it, got a good handle of the place from looking around and, being from Maryland, have been to many a crab feast and crab institution, so I feel like I have a grasp of the experience. The neighborhood (South Beach!) is fun, the history is cool (family-run and first opened in 1913) and the crabs are fresh. So, if you're in Miami and are a crab-lover and/or just like to "join the crowd" and be a part of an institution, then check it out. But otherwise, I think you're safe to die without eating here ;)
