Joe's Stone Crabs

[WiscCruiser]

Our tradition has been to enjoy a pre-cruise dinner at Joe's Stone Crabs in Miami the night before we sail.

 

Our next cruise sails out of Ft Lauderdale, February '07. I realize it's certainly not out of the question to travel down to Miami, but for this cruise we're a group of 5 couples, so transportation to Miami could be an issue.

 

Can anyone recommend a similar Ft Lauderdale restaurant that serves those wonderful stone crabs.

HI!

 

We will staying one night both pre and post cruise in Miami. Hubby loves crab. Can you tell me where Joe's is located? Prices, atmosphere, etc.

 

We would always go to Charlies in Daytona, so am wondering if this is similar.

 

Thanks.

Joe's is unique unto itself. I grew up on Miami Beach and Joe's is where I had my graduation and special occasion dinners. In those days, I don't know about now, they served real browned butter. Ummmmm . . .

Rustic Inn has great seafood. Our group of six dined there and everyone loved it.

WesternMom asked about Joe's Stone Crabs in Miami. For her and anyone else that has never enjoyed those sweet crab claws, here's a link to Joe's website. http://www.joesstonecrab.com/

Ohhhhhh . . . I love Joe's Stone Crabs! The last time I visited my son who lives in Miami (and who I stayed with before and after my cruise in April) . . . he took me to Joe's. He ordered their crab claws and some other "stuff" and we walked down to the intercostal waterway and had a picnic on the rocks as we watched the boats go by. The crab claws were to die for and spending that special time with my son was priceless . . .

In Ft Lauderdale, other then Billy's in Hollywood, the local favorite is the Rustic Inn. http://www.rusticinn.com/
