For more than 100 years, no visit to Miami has been complete without stopping in at Joe's Stone Crab. From the beginning, it has always been the love of food, family, and friends that has brought in customers and kept them coming. Again and again, Joe's owners and employees credit the restaurant's success to its family solidarity.

They're referring not only to the Weiss family, of which Jo Ann is the third generation, her children, Stephen and Jodi, the fourth, Stephen’s daughter, Julia and Jodi's children, Jessica, Lauren, and Blake, the fifth, but also to the extended family of Joe's employees, many of whom have been with Joe's for as long as fifty years.

Some have even seen their children enter and stay with Joe's. You really can't understand the great feeling of love and kindness that the family of Joe's has for all of the employees, unless you are one of the lucky ones who work there. All the employees have a kind of a common bond of success here, where everybody works together. It's the family touch that's made Joe's as successful as it is.
