Florida is full of historic restaurants that invite patrons into a dining experience that began well before they were born.
These establishments boast rich history and culture, and remain open due to the delicious food that graces their menus. While there are a handful of Florida eateries that have been in business for decades, only one has been open since 1887 and still stands to this day!
According to a list compiled by LoveFood , the most historic restaurant in Florida is Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach. This standout location was built in 1913 and continues to serve delicious stone crab claws to this day, among other unforgettable menu items.
Here’s what LoveFood had to say about the oldest restaurant in all of Florida:
“Since opening on Miami Beach in 1913, Joe’s Stone Crab has been serving fresh, locally caught seafood of the highest order. Run by the third and fourth generation of the family that first opened the restaurant, Joe’s is renowned for its plates of rare stone crab claws, recognizable by their dark tips, as well as fried chicken and lobster rolls.”
