Joe's stubbornly operates by its own rules: be prepared to wait up to an hour just to register your name for a table, and resign yourself to waiting up to another two hours before you finally sit down (consider arriving at 5 or 5:30 to reduce your wait). The centerpiece of the ample à la carte menu is, of course, stone crab, with a piquant mustard sauce. Side orders include creamed garlic spinach, fried sweet potatoes, fried green tomatoes, and hash browns. Desserts include a justifiably famous key lime pie. If you can't stand loitering hungrily, come for lunch; or, go next door for Joe's takeout and consider bringing a blanket to picnic on the beach. Reservations not accepted. AE, D, DC, MC, V. Closed May-mid-Oct. No lunch Sun. and Mon.
