A famous South Florida restaurant is making it a bit more affordable for people to dine out. Joe's Stone Crab on Miami Beach, known for its famous seafood, has other alternatives and deals on their famous Stone Crabs.
"I have been coming here every day since they have offered lunch 22 years ago," said Stu Blumberg, a regular at Joe's Stone Crab, who says great food doesn't have to come at a high price.
"You can actually come here for lunch comparable to any place else in town if not less," said Blumberg.
We haven't forgotten about telling you of affordable stone crabs, but first, the restaurant has everyday staples like chopped tenderloin, turkey burgers , and fried chicken each for $5.95. The restaurant also serves fried oysters for $7.95.
"The philosophy of the family at Joe's is affordable to everyone," said General Manager Brian Johnson, a part of the Joe's restaurant family for almost thirty years.
"We have been able to stand the Great Depression and the ups and downs of the 80's," said Johnson to
CBS4's Jorge Estevez.
The family has also lowered other fish dinners on the menu by a few dollars each, and as for the stone crabs, you can catch great deals.
"It's called our Joe's Classic. It gives you the best Joe's has to offer," said Johnson.
The dish has 4 Stone Crabs, two signature side dishes and the classic key lime pie for $39.95.
"I feel that the economy definitely reflects that our customers need to get value for their dollar, and we need to be able to deliver it," said Johnson.
An additional value, can be found at "Joe's Take Away", a take out counter where you can get all of Joe's food to go and eat it in the comfort of your own home.
