Don't confuse Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab with "Joe's Crab Shack." Refined dining with tuxedo-clad waiters rules here, but this is NOT a stuffy, over-priced restaurant. Yes, the Stone Crab Claws ARE pricey, but there are many others options that shine. My waiter,Darren, was friendly, professional and knew the menu food. In fact, as I was dining alone,... More

Do make a reservation unless you want to eat in the lounge. I had the sole, and it was deboned by the waiter. I had the spinach with the fish and it was very good. The price was around $42 for just the fish, and with the spinach it amounted to close to $51.

Expensive, but not too bad at lunch. The crab claws are a must. The service was excellent. Good decor and attention to detail.

We enjoyed this restaurant immensely. As you'd expect for a place like this, the food was outstanding - we particularly enjoyed the stone crab, king crap, halibut, and the unexpected treat, the seasonal roast corn. What really made the night was our waiter, Oz, who was comfortable, friendly, made great suggestions, and even gave us a few other restaurants to... More

We booked a table for Friday night but Joe's is always overcrowded.There is one reason for it: the food is great. We all asked for seafood - crab cake, sea scallops, lobster and fish. They were cooked perfectly and tasty. Chicago is by the lake not by the sea but real fresh seafood. The staff is more than professional. Everything... More

Delicious, fresh seafood and steaks. We had the stone crab, 24 oz dry aged bone in ribeye, lobster, and filet. Everything was perfectly executed and the service staff outstanding. we received a free dessert for our anniversary with candles for us to wish upon. Nice touch.

I went with a very large group. Every ordered something different - fish, poultry, meat choices. Every person raved about their meal. I LOVED the crunchy on the outside, silky on the inside crab cakes. TIP: Dessert servings are super-sized. Plan on sharing.... (or not!)

We celebrated my husband's birthday here. It was excellent and I would recommend everyone try it out. Delicious food! You have to have the cold stone crab that they are known for. It's cold crab that they pre crack for you so you do not have to work to get to the meat. The main room is kind of loud,... More

The waiter was quite bossy! He talked my friend out of what she wanted to eat! She ordered the most "popular" dish which had prawns in them. I ordered just prawns the prawns were either overlooked or old as they were tough. I ended up with hives and my friend had food poisoning. Would not recommend this place
