Just an incredible steak and really kind people. Half the locals shook my hand and introduced themselves. Customer for life even if I live six hours away. read more

Doe's, you were everything I'd hoped you would be. I love me some Doe's Eat Place. I have been to locations in Biloxi, Baton Rouge, and Monroe. Hell, I go to Doe's in Monroe every single time I am in Monroe. When I would profess my love for Doe's to my Mississippi friends they would always tell me: "you have to go to the Greenville location. It's the original". I figured they were right but also figured I would never be in Greenville since there are not many things to do there. But 2025 was the year that I finally made it here. We made a special stop on the way to Eureka Springs. It was everything I had hoped and I absolutely loved it. You must know that this is the original location and it is not fancy on the outside or the inside. Parking is mostly on the street and the neighborhood seems a wee bit sketchy. The building looks like an old house from the outside. Needless to say, the kids were skeptical and wondered why their dad drug them here. That continued when we walked in to the kitchen, walked through the other kitchen, and were seated in one of the rooms. One of the kids said: "I feel like I am dining at someone's house". Exactly. This place is famous! All skepticism was washed away when we got our food. A ribeye and fries for me and a fillet and fries for them to share. Both were perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and made this Doe's fan grin from ear to ear. It was a great meal I will remember forever. Was it cheap? Definitely not. For two entrees, a beer, and a tea, it was around $200 with a tip. Was it worth it to me? Hell yes. I freakin loved it. Is it worth a drive from New Orleans just to eat here? Probably not. Should you divert a road trip to eat here? Absolutely. By the way, service was exactly as you would expect. Super friendly and we were treated like regulars despite it being our first time. Also, there was a cop working outside so don't be scared. read more

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Everything was amazing. We started with a dozen tamales. They were seasoned perfectly and were delicious. Then they brought out the broiled shrimp. The sauce was so good, I could have bathed in it. It was like liquid lemon pepper. We dipped the garlic rolls into the sauce. So good. The steak was a 42-45 oz porterhouse that was the best steak I have even had. And I've been to some world famous steak restaurants. This blew Peter Lugers out of the water. The fries were fresh, hand cut and cooked perfectly, The salad was simple but one of my favorite parts of the meal. The staff was super friendly. The atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. This was far out of the way for us but so worth it. read more

Excellent steaks. If you don't know about the location, you better look it up before you go. On the outside it looks like a crack house in a run down neighborhood but there are always security or local police in the parking areas. I have never felt unsafe there. But it's a trip to take your unsuspecting visitors to, lol! A true rite of passage in the Delta. read more

Fantastic steak, perhaps the best I've had. The historic location has a great ambiance, just an old house converted to a restaurant decades ago and never updated because that would ruin the ambiance. Expensive because the quality is so good. It's an experience. read more

Simply incredible. While staying overnight for work I sampled Does and was just blown away. From the moment you walk into the front door, which is in the kitchen btw, you're welcomed like your family and you belong. You simply feel like it's where you're supposed to be. Then that "slap ya mamma" kind a good food is served. I started with the salad. Any salad that comes in a wood bowl is legit. The Filet I had was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. The fries are cooked in an iron skillet, which you walk by while being seated. This restaurant is what'd you'd expect at mommas house but she can cook the best steak of your life. Can't wait to bring others back. read more

They pulled the tails off my shrimp and were very hospitable. Food was not very good, it was great 5 STARS!!

I came all the way from New York and it was worth it. I've wanted to try the original Doe's for a long time and it was a great trip. The tamales are amazing and the Porter House was perfect. While I definitely couldn't eat the whole thing, my daughter and I did pretty well. The service was great and the ambiance is exactly what makes Doe's unique. If you love steak and road trips then this is the place for you. read more

This place belongs in the Smithsonian next to Willie's guitar "Trigger", blues, or the Model T. There's just nothing else more genuine to it's roots than this. Take a step back in time as they serve up a big ole slice of Americana. Or rather, dinosaur cuts of perfectly cooked beef, novel delta tamales you'll want to order by the dozen, and a simple but satisfying salad like your grandma used to whip up. Doe's has stood the test of time, and I hope to make the pilgrimage, nay reunion, again soon, because when you visit you feel like family. read more

This updates two previous, recent reviews. Doe's now charges $82 for a Porterhouse and $60 a filet per the testimony of immediate family members who stopped in to the Greenville site just a few days ago. If this is case, the price-performance value proposition no longer exists. read more

It's really just a local steak house with a tiny menu in a dirty broken down old house. The prices do not match the decorum, it is a trap house.... The steak was good, but they are double priced, you are not paying for the overhead, there is hardly any - you are just paying. Service is hit and miss, our server missed. Sorry but Doe's is not a big hitter on my team, it's a sacrifice single but the runner didnt advance.... so it's just an out read more

Everything was delicious! We drove for 3 hours one way just to go with friends to have dinner at Does Eat Place! And omg it was with the drive for sure would do it aging tonight and then go to Ground Zero. afterwards!!!! Maybe even stay at the Shack-Up Inn!!!! Such a neat place to stay it's an old cotton gin they made rooms out the bins and the sharecroppers shacks are rooms as well!!!

My coworker recommended as I am from out of state. It is Byob liquor or wine but they do sell bottled or canned beer and similar type drinks. We had the salads, shared a tamale order, chili, and cheese appetizer, then also shared the ribeye. It was huge and enough for 3 proper servings. Everything was delicious, steak cooked perfectly. Its not in tge most welcoming area at night but they employ a sheriff through closing so we felt perfectly safe. read more

So the locals said we had to come and try this place out while we were in town. They warned us it's nothing crazy awesome but it's that hole in the wall that you have to say you went to. The menu isn't anything crazy but I can say try the tamales. They are good and worth at least one. The salad reminded me the old school home made quick dinner salad as a kid and it was good. Just ignore how much oil is on it, you will survive. I really enjoyed the tender cut of beef and it wasn't a small piece l. Lastly the service was great and everyone there was so friendly and nice. I will be stopping back by the next time we are in town. read more

Doe's Eat Place - Bone in rib-eye. Delicious!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Greenville, Mississippi

Doe's is always a favorite among both locals and travelers. It's quite famous, attracting a lot of famous patrons. Along the walls, there's tons of old pictures and memorabilia. Service is quick, and everyone is always friendly. Their portions are massive so be prepared. Typically, it's pretty busy and crowded for dinner, especially on weekends. read more

My steak was soooooooooo delicious and so indulgent. Not even going to try to express the char or the juiciness. I believe the steak was the very best. Shrimp was very nice as well Salad was truly gross and disgusting. Nothing but lettuce, not even altogether very fresh (had to pick out and throw 3 leaves away), and it comes dressed... with something that tastes like pure salt. No acid balance. So horrible. I appreciate most learning about how in history folks would come through the rear portion and roll their four footed animals right alongside the side there. Depressed portion of town, most notably the African America side of the tracks. My great uncle 's store Bings is literally just east of this historic joint that is oh so quirky and full of ghosted walls that I coaxed to speak to me Can watch them making frites or salad in the main room. Or walk a few steps down the ramp inside and sit in the adjoining space Only Greenville could boast a place like This! CA prices read more

The food was great, really delicious. My steak was the best I ever had. We loved the shabby building. It definitely felt very authentic. Now for the bad: they don't give you a menu. You just have to know what to order or ask them what they have. This surely works in their favor because their prices are insane... extortionate is the first word that comes to mind. Shrimp baskets are $31 each. Side salads (though delicious) were very simple iceberg lettuce with a simple dressing (and small) and were an additional $7 each. Our 6-year-old daughter's spaghetti with tomato sauce (no meatballs) was $10. A half dozen hot tamales were $10 and they were tiny. My steak was $64. Yeah, it was huge and absolutely delicious, but come on... I ordered the second smallest steak they offered. Lastly, I used the men's room while we were there, and it was not a pleasant experience. The wall-mounted water heater was dripping on the floor and I had to stand in a pool of water, and there was a window hopper air conditioner in the window with an extension cord precariously daisy-chained above me. All I could think of was that cord falling into the pool of water and frying me as I was taking a leak. I'm not a snob, nor am I afraid of paying a premium for a good meal (and experience), but I can't understand how this place can be so popular and get away with these kinds of prices with a ramshackle dive-bar setting. It was an enjoyable meal and we had a fun time, but never again. No thanks. read more

Love the Nostalgia of this place. I do wish it was still the "old" Doe's with a limited menu, etc.

Hot Tamale Trail - Stop #5/12 This is a place that I would not normally stop at, except it's on the "Tamale Trail". Tons of "character" which I really like, but this was too much... Dark, run down and dirty. I arrived prior to dinner service, but was able to order the tamales to go! (these were the most expensive tamales on the trail) Tamales wrapped in parchment paper, tied 3 to a bundle with string. Looked like they where machine made (very uniform). Very spicy, dense, and dry, served with crackers. Best part was eating them on the levee overlooking the Mississippi river nearby. Very happy to have gotten the experience, but would not go again. read more

Fantastic time there on a Thursday evening. Wait staff Tina and company (we sat by the ladies preparing the food) were fun to watch and converse with. All had been there 25+ years. We ordered the ribeye which was an excellent choice, very juicy and flavorful. After reading the reviews we brought our own red wine, it was perfection. Fries were marvelous too. We did not try the tamales, but that will be our next trip there. Saw several plates prepped with spaghetti and meatballs, they were huge. Thanks for the memories read more

Food was good, but not as good as the price said it should have been. I got a ribeye, cooked well, just bland. The salad was the best part of the entire meal. This place came highly recommended from coworkers, and it wasn't worth the hype. Service takes a long time just to even get your drink order. Then the odds of getting a refill are slim. read more

I came at the recommendation of a friend that used to live in Greenville. There's a small parking lot and street parking available. The surrounding area doesn't look at that nice, but you'll be fine as long as you stay at the restaurant (it looks more like a house) and don't wander off. The decor inside was very unique to say the least. The food was pricey, but it was good. It was also very nice to experience good ol' Southern hospitality! I arrived pretty early at 6 pm and was seated right away. I wasn't given a menu as the lady taking my order just verbally told me what they served. I ordered their bone-in ribeye steak cooked medium rare and an order of shrimp, half broiled and half fried. *Bone-in Ribeye Steak* Make sure to bring your appetite! It was a big steak. It was a pretty good piece of meat without having to add any sauces. Man, that certainly hit the spot after having run the Mississippi River Marathon earlier in the morning! *Shrimp half broiled and half fried* To complete my surf and turf, these shrimp certainly fit the bill! Both versions were good, but if I had to choose, I would get the fried version. They were perfectly breaded and came with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. Keep in mind that this place will most likely be busy for dinner. The front waiting area was filled with hungry folks as I was leaving. If you're in the area and have a hankering for a steak, you should stop in here for a good steak! read more

Doe's Eat Place has been on my bucket list for some time. No longer, that has been checked off!! When I drove up, a Sheriff Deputy met me and had me park directly across from the front door of Doe's. He was very friendly, giving me advice about when I left, to go straight out and not to hang around. "At the end of this road, they are up to no good! " I appreciate Doe's employing him. I got seated right away and my waitress was super friendly. She explained the menu: 10 oz. Fillet 2 lb. bone in ribeye 3 lb. porterhouses Fried Shrimp Grilled Shrimp Tamales Salad Fresh cut French fries are served with all the above steaks. I chose the Ribeye, medium rare. Every bite was delicious!! The food again was very good, but you must go just to get the experience! There are several autographed pictures on the walls along with several magazine publications that Doe's has been in. Take your time , look around, take pictures and certainly enjoy your meal.

The biggest and best damn steak I've ever had in my life. This place is just old-school cool. I've never been to any of the franchises but I can't imagine that you could recreate this.

*** JBF America's Classic (2007) *** #2 *** I almost feel like I shouldn't be allowed to review Doe's because I don't eat red meat.. but I'm going to anyways, since that didn't stop me from stuffing myself silly and having a great time at Doe's last Friday night. After waking up at 5:30 am to catch a flight from LAX to DFW to LIT then driving 2.5 hours... we went straight to Doe's. This is the original Doe's Eat Place, and from what I've been told, the franchises can't hold a candle to the establishment that won the James Beard America's Classic Award in 2007 and that Anthony Bourdain recently proclaimed as "...batsh*t insane. In a good way." I'm told the secret is in the ovens, and that it's the reason that franchises are unable to replicate the Doe's steak. The menu includes hot tamales, homemade chili, garlic bread, house salad, french fries, fried shrimp and grilled shrimp along with their cuts of meat: ribeye, filet mignon, porterhouse, and sirloin. They also have spaghetti, but were sold out that night. I tried everything. Even though I don't eat red meat, I ate an entire tamale (they are small!) and took a bite of the porterhouse. Before you jump to conclusions about my hypocrisy, know that the only reason I don't eat red meat is because, well, I don't like it. So, when someone proclaims that they are eating the best steak ever, I'm going to try it just to make sure that I'm not missing out. I've tried the steak at many places, Mastro's and Lawry's included, and I have to say that Doe's was outstanding. I probably would have eaten more than a bite if I wasn't worried about being sick later that night, and that says a lot. As for the shrimp, both were good but the fried shrimp was better than the grilled... but when is that not the case? I threw some sardines on the house salad, making it even better. Everything was delicious.. the garlic bread, the french fries, the tamales... I don't have anything bad to say about anything here. Definitely come with a group so that you can order everything like we did, since everything is a must order. I love that it's BYO so even though it's not cheap to eat here, you save on liquor/wine. Bring your own corkscrew and glasses though! Doe's isn't located in the best part of town, nor is it upscale at all, nor should you expect the friendliest service.. imagine picnic tables and folding chairs and you've got the vibe.. which adds to its charm. People are here for the food, and nothing else. And they aren't messing around with their food. read more

Worth the trip to eat at this location. Old school all the way. Delicious steak with no bells and whistles. Arrived at 5pm to eat early before the crowds and the parking lot was already full. No menu and no frills just delicious huge steaks. And i mean huge. As we say back home, the customers and staff were "our kind of people". Good old fashioned everything. read more

Do not be disuaded by the exterior or the location. Once inside, the steaks will make it all worth it!

Don't think because it is off the beaten path and a rustic setting that you are going to get a bargain on great steak that competes with some of the finest steakhouses in America. My wife's filet was $44, but it was her birthday and this place consistently makes the top list of steakhouses in America. And the steak really is that good. The filet was huge by filet standards and it was cooked to perfection. Medium rare just like she likes it, tender and more flavorful than most filets. The location is rustic. It is in a neighborhood and parking is mostly on the street. There is off duty law enforcement directing traffic. When you enter you are in the kitchen and you are greeted by the steak chef. You go through a doorway to more of the kitchen and then into a room where there is seating. There are no menus. The waitress will tell you what they have. According to the large table of people sitting next to us who were finishing their meal, they do a good job with shrimp as well as their steaks. I tried the house salad ($5) and enjoyed their house dressing. I also tried their tamales ($6 for 3) and they were very good. Ever since Alton Brown did his Feasting On Asphalt-The Great River Road show and mentioned that tamales were a staple all along the river in Mississippi I have been wanting to try them. Now I think I will be looking at tamales instead of tacos when I eat at Mexican restaurants. read more
