Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

Joe's brings Miami Beach's 1913 stone-crab dynasty to the Forum Shops at Caesars — a Lettuce Entertain You partnership that pairs the legendary claws with prime bone-in steaks and daily-flown seafood, wrapped in old-school supper-club service that treats regulars and first-timers identically well.

The seasonal truth governs everything: Florida stone crab runs roughly October 15 through May 1, claws priced at market by size (select through jumbo, quoted tableside). A summer visit means no fresh claws — plan around the calendar, not the postcard. Off-season, the colossal lump crab cakes, the 16oz bone-in filet, and the seafood program hold the line, and the key lime pie — Joe's original recipe — is mandatory in any month.

It runs lunch and dinner daily (11:30 to 9, 10 on weekends) in a big, bustling, tourist-heavy mall room — book ahead in claw season, walk in easier at lunch. Sides bill à la carte and the check lands $90-160 a head before jumbo-claw ambitions. As dependable institutions go, the Strip has few peers.
