Well I finally made it and not a minute too soon. There is a reason Joe's is always packed, clearly the service and food more than live up to the hype. Even at lunch the place has a sense of urgency in making sure you are in good hands. \nSitting at the bar our sever was of course the bartender and he could not have been more attentive and filled our ice teas and waters( it was lunch after all) with out them reaching half empty. He was busy too, no bar back and handling the growing lunch crowd like a pro. \nWe opted for one of their lunch specials, the perfect sized lunch highlighted by some of their signature eats. \nTo take the edge off this did the trick, a nice assortment of artisan breads and crisps. \nBread Basket\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-seafood-prime-steak-and-stone-crab-las-vegas-2?select=3zujfFou40TxvCTHe4r4mQ\nThe cracked in the claw stone crab is sea spider nirvana. Sweet and succulent in conjunction with their mustard dipping sauce and the fresh horseradish I requested was superb. Served in a stainless bowl with a spare for the discarded shell remnants. A fresh towel to clean your hands when finished, a nice touch. \nStone Crab=Stone Cold perfection \nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-seafood-prime-steak-and-stone-crab-las-vegas-2?select=8N88j94LQP4k3MoQzLbEVA\nHash Browns, crispy and savory-seriously ? HB's with lunch well I will just say these had to be the best HB's I have ever eaten! Simple but prepared to perfection, crispy crunch on the outside and pillow soft on the inside. These spuds were clearly treated to some culinary love a surprise highlight. \nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-seafood-prime-steak-and-stone-crab-las-vegas-2?select=fCtPBQzfwvP8kcDsAdO2CA\nNot pictured the meal also came with table side prepared coleslaw and slices of beefsteak tomato. Again a real treat, super fresh and the right amount of acidic undertones and just enough mayo to make it work. \nAnd finally a slice of the Florida Keys on a plate. Their signature dessert, Key Lime Pie. \nTart, refreshing, light with an amazing crust and a generous dollop of freshly whipped creme. \nKey Lime Pie with fresh whipped creme\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/joes-seafood-prime-steak-and-stone-crab-las-vegas-2?select=GzTjqnbRrtAJCJun0URYtg\nI will surely be going back to Joe's without a doubt on my next visit to L.V. What a fantastic experience all the way around. Top notch from top to bottom!"^^ . . "13"^^ . "2015-11-07T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ . .
