We had heard great things about Joe's Stone Crab and wanted to try it for ourselves. We live in the suburbs and don't get downtown for dinner all that often, so every time we do we really want to make it worth our while. We ate at Joe's for our 10th anniversary and everything was delicious. The crab bisque was excellent, as were our steak and fish entrees. I also remember the potato side dish as being very rich and delicious. The service was also excellent, which is something that is sometimes lacking even in finer dining establishments. We were very pleased with the whole experience and will be back.

Joe's is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I love the fresh seafood, the staff and that my husband finds their steak to be one of the best in the city. He doesn't like seafood so it great to have a place we can both go and indulge on the food we love....

TaraLee says "They need to sell their crab bisque in buckets" about Joe's Stone Crab - Chicago, IL

Yum. I would stop there but Joe's is so great so I will try and write more. Everything was fantastic, the veggies, the salads, the food, the service, top notch and without the server snobbery that often can be found in great restaurants.

The mustard sauce that comes with the stone crab claws is divine. I don't even like mustard. But this is spicy, zesty, creamy and fantastic.

The crab bisque was so smooth and velvety and delicious. I could eat it every day. I had Joe's famous scallops and they were sweet, firm and crispy. Perfect. I watched people eat the seafood chopped salad, it looked fantastic, filled with abundant, fresh seafood and a lovely dressing.

The service, was attentive, and warm (I even got fresh lemons squeezed on my hands rather than having to squeeze them my self).

Can I give it 6 stars?

I visited Chicago recently and ate at lots of places. Joe's was absolutely my favorite. Everything, from the Stone Crab claws to the interesting assortment of breads on the table was perfect. The menu features steaks, seafood, and even liver and onions. The guests were dressed as formally and casually as they pleased. Everyone seemed to be having a great time at Joe's....

I go to Joe's every time I am in Chicago. It is really one of my favorite places to have a cocktail and relax.

I was first brought to Joe's by my best friend who happens to have moved to Chicago. We went there a post shopping spree day for a cocktail. I am a martini girl and choose the Coconut Martini... OMG ! ! ! It was to die for. I had two (ok 3) and want more! Then we ordered a few sides to nible on... the deep fried asparagus with lemon butter was incredible... but so were the french fried sweet potatos...

The next trip to Chicago I decided to bring my 3 Auntie and my Mom there for dinner, again post-shopping spree. We all had bone-in filets and salads and some sides. It was incredible and the serive was outstanding. We were treated like we were the only ones the waiter had to take care of.

Now let me talk dessert... I choose Boston Cream Pie... OMG!!! I crave it to this day and can not wait to go back next month to get it... I highly recommend it! Seriously,...

Matt says "Joe's is the best steak and seafood restaurant in Chicago" about Joe's Stone Crab - Chicago, IL

After being in Miami for 90+ years Joe's Stone Crab opened its second location here in Chicago. It has been a favorite for visitors and residents alike ever since. Although it is not the quintessential Chicago Steak House, for my tastes, it is much better. Their specialty are the stone crabs. They are fantastic and not readily available elsewhere. I have had them at least 10 times. However, recently I have become a big fan of their Alaskan King Crab legs. Although they are crazy expensive ($56) they are the most flavorful, tender, sweet and delicious crab legs I have ever tasted in my life. The portion is very generous. My wife and I shared them last night as our entree.

Strangely enough, the fried chicken is also amazing. The steaks are great (I think better than some steak only restaurants) and the sides are huge and plentiful. Be sure to try the sweet potato fries. The deserts are over the top large and to die for. My personal favorite is the Peanut Butter Pie with...
