Why you should go…

Open since 1913, before Miami Beach was even a city, this fourth-generation family restaurant at the foot of Washington Avenue is the reason Florida stone crab is famous. Claws arrive chilled and pre-cracked with the house mustard sauce, flanked by hash browns, coleslaw, and Key lime pie. Book via OpenTable up to two weeks out, or join the walk-in line, waiting it out is part of the ritual; Joe's Take Away next door serves the impatient. Peak season follows the stone crab harvest, mid-October through May.
