Randomly stoped here traveling Miami to Sarasota and we were not disappointed!! Great service, excellent food and atmosphere!! You will not be disappointed with a stop here!

Local spot worth stopping by. Though the minor downside is the lack of air conditioning and the multitude of fans around to circulate the air, everything else about the place is interesting to see. From the authentic nudies in the bathroom, to the vintage memorabilia on the walls Joanie's is a good time. Go and grab yourself a drink from the wall side coolers before digging into some delicious food. I had the hotdog with all the works and it was more than I could finish, but packed with so much flavor. Service was simple, but wholesome and attentive.

Best fried green tomatoes EVER! Very friendly people and a very relaxed chill place to hang out.

Always a fun time Going to Joanie's Blue Crab Café. It's like walking back in time to old Florida. The food is great and the servers are friendly and fun.

Went to Joanie's on my way through the Everglades with my son. Gator bites were really tasty and this place has a great atmosphere. Great location and very good setting for lunch in the Everglades. Service staff are local, extremely friendly and informative. Great conversation and information about the area.

Been on my bucket list forever. Flew down from Asbury park NJ and finally went to Joanie's. Very cool roadside food shack. Old as dirt and just awesome. Our waitress made the experience awesome. She was just the nicest friendliest lady you could ever meet. We got some basic food, burgers and fish sandwich. Burgers were a bit over seasoned compared to what we choke down up north so that might just be some down home Everglades awesomeness we weren't ready for, grouper sandwich was ok, food won't blow you away but if you are hungry it will do just fine. Go here if you have never been. I'm trying to squeeze in a second trip here before I fly home.

The best spot in the Everglades to grab lunch. Fried everything as you would expect. Standard fare, but well executed and generous portions. Fun staff and quick service. Great for families.

Excellent experience. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome from the hostess. The staff educate you on the menu and it's a true cultural experience. Genuine southern hospitality. We will remember this experience for the rest of our lives. Thanks for the great Florida swamp food!

This is a fun touristy place to stop on the Tamiami trail. It's got a kitschy fun feel to it, with a big interior and a nice porch in the back I sat at. I felt out of place going in as a vegetarian who doesn't normally frequent this kind of restaurant, but I ended up having a good time! I also got to try a local beer from the cooler. I wish they had some sort of entree/sandwich for vegetarians. However, I ordered 3 things that were all decadent and yummy: hush puppies that were just the right crispiness with a softer interior and very flavorful spices, corn that was way tastier than any other place I've ordered corn at, and a good slice of key lime pie , which is normally one of my least favorite kinds. Good memorable place to go while traveling through to sample the area's specialties.
