Editorial Review for Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
Big, loud and masculine, Joe's is a throwback to the days of the country-club restaurant--complete with a pompadour-coiffed, tuxedo-clad host. Mirrors make the large wraparound dining room seem enormous, and the place buzzes with a comfortable mix of white collars, tourists and society types. Table servers are consummate pros, casual and friendly but assuredly capable.
The Food
Joe's signature is its fresh, meaty stone crab claws; an assortment of other seafood and steak dishes fill out the menu. Dig into the "2nd Mortgage" appetizer platter, which includes several already cracked, medium-sized crab claws, jumbo shrimp, succulent lobster tail (amazing), and shrimp and scallop seviche. Creamy, delicate stone crab bisque, crispy lobster tail tempura, jumbo crab claws, the juicy 12-ounce filet, even sides like cole slaw and crusty, cheesy "Jennie's potatoes"--just about everything on this menu is outstanding. Don't forget Joe's Key lime pie for dessert, a tart and tangy specialty of the house.

I went to Joes while in Chicago for a concert. I had the fried lobster and asparagus it was so great I want to fly back just to get some more I've had it other places but theirs was so great its worth a try I dont remeber what my friends had but it was good we all give it 5 stars the bill was around 140 for 3 people and only 1 alcohol drink and the others were pops so if you plan on drinking the price goes up but its worth a try if you love seafood. And the staff was so pleasing the waiter even helped me cut my food . I will probaly go to the one in Miami next.
Cons: None

I made a reservation for a Monday night. I showed up about 40 minutes early to have drinks in the bar (the front room/bar was extremely crowed). When I checked in, I was told that they didn't have my reservation. But the host assured me he would take care of me. So we had drinks in the bar (very good ones) and were seated at exactly our reservation time!! The waiter was wonderful, the shrimp appetizer was yummy. I got the tuna with a side of broccoli. The tuna was delicious!! The broccoli had a cheese topping which wasn't very cheesy tasting (too bad) but still good. The key lime pie was tasty. We love this place and keep coming back!!
Pros: Friendly waitstaff and seated on time
Cons: bar area gets crowded as people wait for their tables
