Pricing

So when you tell people that you’re coming to Joe’s or, better yet, taking them, the first thing some of them will think is, “Wow! This person must really be doing well.”

We encourage you to hide from your friends the fact that our fried chicken, among other dishes at Joe’s, goes for $8.95 (Feel free to also omit the fact that U.S. presidents have ordered and enjoyed it).

The philosophy at Joe’s, for over 100 years, has been that everyone should be able to afford a meal here.

But if you’re coming for stone crabs, be prepared. Stone crabs are seasonal and rare, and prices are negotiated at the docks with fishermen based on availability, so the price is always “market price.” We set the price based on what the fishermen charge us. Like any other commodity, when stone crabs are plentiful, the price goes down; when they're scarce, the price goes up.
