2lb Ribeye with crab boiled potatoes
jessica d.

First time at this restaurant. We went for my brother's birthday. The server was very nice and made the meal enjoyable. The restaurant was this country style kitchen and had homey feel. I enjoyed the food but my family definitely liked it more than I did. It was an okay steak, but didn't wow me for the price that it was ($88 for a 2lb steak). My family ranted and raved about it. The house salad was delicious. I absolutely loved the house dressing! So yummy and tangy! 8/10 The broiled shrimp was very tangy, almost too tangy but still enjoyable. I prefer the steak, so the shrimp for me was 6/10. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and had a nice crust which I enjoy. Seasoned perfectly....just not worth it in my book for that price. 7/10 The potatoes were the stars of the meal to me!The French fries are cut in house and taste amazing! The crab boiled potatoes are cooked just right and seasoned nicely! 8/10

Doe's Eat Place, 3723 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA 70806. While my Restaurant Week review is slightly delayed, I'm pleased to share my experience. Following recommendations, I sampled both the tamales and steak. Although the tamales weren't part of the three-course Restaurant Week menu, they are highly recommended. The three-course meal included mushroom soup, a 24-oz steak with mashed potatoes and collard greens, and a dessert (the name of which I regrettably forgot). I plan to return to Doe's Eat Place to enjoy the tamales again and explore other menu items. #tonylameats #batonrougela #doeeatplace #doeseatplace #steak #tamales #restaurantweekbr

Sorry I dug into it rather fast before taking the picture. This was a 24 oz ribeye steak part of their restaurant week set menu

Had never stopped at that restaurant before and with my birthday coming up soon decided to treat myself to a steak dinner since it's restaurant week in Baton Rouge. Their set menu offered three different types of protein but I was in the mood for steak so I ordered the 24 oz ribeye which was the steak option on the restaurant week menu. It came with garlic mashed potatoes, a house salad with a bright vinaigrette and a strawberry shortcake dessert. The salad was a nice portion with a very bright and tangy vinaigrette. The steak was absolutely HUGE - I mean the menu said it was 24 oz but I didn't realize how big 24 oz was until they brought me the plate. The meal was well seasoned and delicious and they cooked it exactly as I asked for, just pink in the middle and not mooing. The strawberry cake option on the set menu was a little disappointing. But I was already so full having eaten half of the steak and potatoes that it was just a touch for dessert which was fine. Don't think I would have ordered it off the menu at a separate price though. They did have two other dessert options but I was so full by the time the waiter came around to ask what I wanted for dessert that I chose the strawberry shortcake thinking it would be super light, which it was. Took one star off because although the steak was wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection, it was not the most tender steak I've ever had. Not tough, but not super tender either. Certainly acceptable for the price that I paid which I think was $60 for the set menu of salad, steak, and dessert for restaurant week. They had two other protein choices for the restaurant week set menu - a pork chop dish and a lamb dish. Will definitely go back there to try their hamburgers and their club sandwiches for lunch.

Hmmm... atmosphere wasn't for me. I went at lunch time and I felt a little out of place, my server was nice though. I decided on the lunch burger. It was okay. I didn't like the fries at all. Nice price point for lunch. My meal was less than $20.00. I probably won't return.

Ribeye and fries
Marshall J.

The place is amazing. The ribeye is worth every dime. The fries are great. It is the highest quality, best tasting food. And, do yourself a favor and sit at the bar. Kit is the best. She's friendly, engaging and makes the visit enjoyable.

Country Fried Steak with fresh cut fry's
Teresa W.

I I just can't stop coming here. I love everything I've tried. I love the Filet! The chicken fried steak is massive. It's huge and it's not one of those things you get at the grocery store. It's an actual sirloin if they beat tenderizing sells huge stick it covers the entire platter a hand batter season it up and fry it comes with plenty of brown gravy or country white gravy, which ever you like the best. I love the white gravy.. the french fries or hand cut and homemade you can't beat how good they are but they have mashed potatoes if you prefer. The mac & cheese is also a delicious thing here and today I went for lunch and I had to the roast beef debris poboy. It tasted like I was down in the Quarter the French quarter that is if you haven't been me to get down here and give me a try I have a big old parking lot and the service is always friendly and good.

Terrance F.

This was a nice vibe spot. Food was good. I dined here my other con workers. Service was good. We were early birds so seating wasn't a problem. We had a good time. I will definitely return with my wife and see what her take is on it.

No corn husk????!  No season but salt and pepper.  Make it homemade if you're going to charge homemade prices.
Davon S.

Everything was so bland, don't advertise something that's supposed to be one of your top sellers like tamales, and it comes from a factory

Two pound porterhouse with red potatoes.

Perfectly cooked steaks and good tamales. Not your usual steakhouse combination, but it works. Even though there is a limited menu and the steaks are insanely expensive ($50 and up), most of them are big enough to share. And very good - well seasoned and perfectly cooked to order. If you are a steak lover, this will hit the spot. The broiled shrimp appetizer is, essentially, a good New Orleans bbq shrimp (very good). The angry shrimp is a good sweet and spicy fried shrimp, but not too spicy. I'm told the fried asparagus is good, too. I'll have to believe my friends on that one (everything else is very good, so I'm sure the asparagus is, too). There is a story about how tamales became a staple of the Mississippi delta, but whatever that is, the tamales here are a fantastic example of tamales done right - perfect ratio of meat and masa, and served with a good chili. Overall, a very good experience with great food. Even if it's not affordable for a weekly adventure (you could have a steak salad for an affordable price), this is definitely a fantastic place for good steak!

Carrabba's sprinkler system had been activated before I arrived at 8p. The Silly Rabbit Comedy Club was offering a late show so I was hoping to dine in. I was greeted by an attractive group of staff upon entering who showed me to the bar area. I was happy that the bar area offers booths. The menu has no prices(should've been a red flag.) There's an old saying,"if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it." I'd counter with,"if you have to conceal it, it's probably not worth it." Ding, ding, ding! I tried winging it so I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon, Flemings Potatoes, and a tea. The interior was nice and dark as I like my dining establishments to be. I attempted to view the main dining area but the Christmas decoration(border) was literally blocking the view. I couldn't see without standing. There were only two of us at the bar. It was creeping to 845p now and I asked my waitress to change it "to go." Immediately my order is presented to me. My bill was three times what I expected to pay. All I received was meat and potatoes. I've prepared better tasting steak in a crock pot. I've thought about returning but I won't after reading this is standard for Flemings. Flemings kept every ounce of flavor for themselves. Yes I ate it cold but I don't believe it would've been any better if it was warm.

The service was just okay. We easily waited over an hour for our food, I honestly think it was a bit longer than that. This was the worst thing about the visit as well as the very expensive pricing so I will give it a 3/5 stars. When I come to a steakhouse, I expect the service to be amazing but waiting over an hour was ridiculous. There was also only one other table with people, the restaurant was empty for the most part. I loved my steak. I got the Cajun ribeye steak and as sides I got the lobster Mac and cheese and creamed spinach. The prices were very high. Just my steak was $69. Most of the sides were overpriced and the lobster Mac and cheese for $21 only had three small pieces of lobster. The creamed spinach was good. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and relaxed and very fancy. The vibe was very intimate and perfect for a celebration.

I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

Great atmosphere but quickly turned. My menu was dirty and in fact half of it was illegible I mean bad. When waiter, Jon, finally came he agreed an out the menu and said he'd be right back with new one and trash the other which I said yep that shouldn't have gotten past the hostess. He never came back with another menu so I used my grandsons to figure out what I wanted. We ordered after waiting a good while for him to come back more than 15 minutes. And the place was not busy. I've waited tables, managed and trained waitstaff so I'm pretty aware of what is just neglect. This was. He was a bit older than other waitstaff and I would have figured more seasoned. So count this as 2 strikes. Food finally delivered by someone else which is fine and glad it go there because we were hungry. Pretty unremarkable although it looked good. I won't go into what we had but it was main dishes. And he recommended as well. Next my grandson was out of water and we kept looking for Jon so we could get more water. Strike 3. He never came by. Not even to see if our food was good or we needed anything. I did want to order a dozen order Traditional Oysters after going and getting another menu myself. When I did there were a stack of menus and no sh t the dirty unreadable menu I had was on top of all of them. So much for throwing it away. I had finished my meal at this point and I asked another waiter if he could get us some water and he said sure and disappeared. I water station was right behind our booth. He never returned. Frustrated I got up to go to the bar to get some water and a female waitress was right there and I asked her if she might get us some water. She immediately said no problem and got it right there. Thank you to her. Finally Jon came by and said hey another waiter said we needed water but saw we already had it. I told him my experience in restaurants and have eaten in many high end fine quality establishments and this was by far the worst experience I'd ever had and went Over in detail everything above. I would had asked for a manager but I wanted Jon to understand his shortcomings and disappointment in the experience we had. So no, I wouldn't say I'd never go back but it would be after I had tried lots of other places. Disappointed doesn't quite cover it and I sure wish I'd of been able to get the oysters as a fellow dinner said they were great.
