What a place! So local and different than any other experience. If you're from out of town and want a steak, this is the place to go. The service, selection, and quality of food for the price is unbeatable. Everything was excellent and save room for some of that homemade cake! It is delicious. read more

We *had* to eat here when we were traveling through Little Rock due to its historical significance to one of our former president's campaigns. The service here was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed looking at the photos and memorabilia over the walls of the restaurant. We had a small order of tamales with chili as an appetizer, then for our lunches we had a chili dog, a cheeseburger (both with fries) and spaghetti with meatballs and a piece of chocolate cake. The portions are huge! and easily shareable. Everything was good, but we especially liked the cheeseburger and the fries. * No military discount * read more

Food is amazing. It's such a cute local spot. The menu is very simple, and few things we tried were both pretty good. I'd definitely come back. The steak is cooked to perfection like peter luger without the price tag. It's sold price per lbs. The t-bone is perfect for 2. We shared the tamales with chilli. Definitely get this as the chilli goes well with the tamales. There's ton of pictures of famous people attended here. The service is spectacular. The waiter came to check up on us if we needed anything. Food is way cheaper here than back in CA! The entire meal was less than $75, not including tips. read more

Six of us celebrated my wife's 75th birthday this evening at Does. Our last visits have been a little disappointing but not tonight. The steaks were like they used to be. We had the Porter house. Our waitress was the best ever. The atmosphere has not changed. read more

Last week I was cutting across West Tennessee and Arkansas and was looking for a place to have lunch. If you are in Little Rock looking for a unique place that is not a fast casual restaurant and want to go old school give Doe's Eat Place a try. This place is not fancy. Formica tables and metal/vinyl chairs with some wear on them. There were people in suits, dresses, work uniforms, shorts with T shirts and slacks with polos. It was quite an eclectic group that made for an interesting lunch. Our group all had hamburgers and fries. The burgers are hearty and have that old school flat top flavor. The fries are fresh cut not some cookie cutter frozen fries out of a bag. The ambiance is old school, food is good, pictures on the wall give you a snapshot of how things looked in the 90's. If you want a place that is not fancy, has good food and you get a little history - this is a good place to enjoy a meal. read more

Really wonderful steak in a low key environment with good service. Try the t-bone and split with friends. The tamales are good and the fries are great. Will be back. read more

The food was great!!!! They prepared my steak exactly how I like it. It was delicious. Service was great.

Food was Great and the Service felt personal and outstanding A+++++ I've tried other location and definitely felt more at home at this one! Will be back ! read more

Well, let me just say.... STEAK HEAVEN!!! Ever had a steak literally melt in your mouth, this place has it. Such a UNIQUE Family style of servings come with your Per. Pound Steak of Choice!!! Let me just say, the crispiest outer crust almost like a burnt end, but the tenderness of the steak... WOW, WOW, WOW! So grab some friends and head right over, don't dress up, it's a hole in the wall, with old table coverings to boot! But the Food is far from old, it's FRESH, HOT & TASTY!! read more

Came here for our last dinner in town and my coworkers had been the year prior. I knew what to expect going into it since they'd talked about how much food you get and how the sides aren't the best but the meat itself is good. I got the 8 oz filet and swapped the dressed salad for a regular house salad. I thought the filet was okay, I ordered medium rare and it came pretty well done compared to my coworkers who also ordered medium rare. I also thought the marinade was a bit too salty. My favorite part of the meal was the fries, they were delicious and crispy. The toast that comes with it is pretty good and we didn't touch the potatoes. I still think they need some more varied sides instead of all carbs, but I was glad to have the salad. It's definitely a dive inside, but our waitress was super sweet. I would probably return and ask that my steak be cooked a little rarer to make sure it isn't as well done. read more

Love this place, my favorite place to eat in Little Rock. Had the chili and tamales-excellent, the catfish dinner-wonderful, but the shrimp po-boy and fries are the absolute best I have ever had. I will go back as often as I can when I am in town. read more

Very friendly staff who were very accommodating to us and our little one. Great steaks, fun atmosphere

We arrived just before the kitchen closed yet they served us. Very friendly and helpful AND the food was quite tasty. We will go back.

Unassuming ambiance... just a red checkerboard tablecloth old school restaurant with perfectly cooked steaks. I make it a point to "eat at Doe's" anytime I'm in range. read more

Small local owned establishment which does a few specific things well. The atmosphere is very down to earth, service is friendly and food portions are great for sharing family style. I was visiting the area and I walked in alone, I was welcomed with a very friendly attitude which I appreciated. I looked around to see folks enjoying massive cuts of steak, wonderful looking fried shrimp, tamales and salads along w/ hand cut fries which I'm a big fan of. I had been out and about from very early morning and had not stopped to eat all day so I ordered a triple cheeseburger w/ sautéed onions and fixings. The bun was soft and held up almost to the end, the patties looked to be about 6oz each and there were 3 slices of cheese. The fry portion was just right and again a favorite for me. Prices were excellent, especially for the portion sizes and everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves while heartily trying to take down the oversized portions of food on each and every table. Absolutely plan on visiting again and again during my next few visits in the months to come. I can heartily recommend Does's eats for a casual meal when your appetite is really kicking read more

Doe's Eat Place - 6 lb. Sirloin - Steakhouses Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Doe's is one of those places that all the people visiting the river market have to go to. Truth is that it's good but there are places cheaper that taste better. I've eaten at Doe's many times. Never have I had to send back a steak. The cooks do a very good job. Everyone talks about the tamales, there ok. Finally their homemade cakes are very good. Now the service. I have never gotten good service here. It's always been average. Also there is no local beer, or any beer for that matter, on tap here. Honestly this place is extremely over rated. It's always crowded, the food is expensive, the service is average, Bill Clinton said this was his favorite place to eat, I don't think he tried to go to other places. read more

Doe's has still got it. Their steaks match up against many top dollar Chicago steakhouses.

The steaks are some of the best in Little Rock, AR, so come hungry. The service is excellent, and you will definitely enjoy your meal!

Best place for a burger and fries for certain. I haven't had a burger as good in a while. read more

Food had the catfish dinner made to order. Ambiance of an old style restaurant that has been there and enjoyed for a long time. Nothing fancy but clean. Sweet tea was good. Next time I think I'll try the steak. read more

Always a great place to eat! Steaks are fabulous and the enchiladas are to die for. Always take a dozen or more home after dinner. The decor is old Arkansas south. Love this place. read more

Went on our 56th anniversary. Split a Tbone. Service was very good as were the fries. We ordered medium. What we got was almost well done. Very little pink, tough as shoe leather. I gave up after about three ounces. Took it home to our 80 lb Lab and 27 lb Terrier, both meat lovers. They eyed it for awhile but after a bite they went after it. The only decent steak I had in the last three years was the Butcher Shop in Memphis. They are always overcooked. I'll go back to Does for the tamales and maybe hamburger steak but I'll not trust them again on steaks. read more

I travel to Little Rock often for work and a local resident recommend this place. I did not disappoint! Doe's has at an home feel and casual atmosphere but the food rivals high end steakhouses. The portions are large and plenty to eat. Steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Great service and they were excited it was my first time and walked me through the menu and experience. Looking forward to going back and trying the famous tamales! read more

What a great find. Ok I love a cut of meat but this was a real surprise. Some locals took us out for dinner here. Big portions and low key vib. I think we tried everything on the menu. - Tamales - great - Chili - great - Steak - great - Fries - great - Pecan Pie - great Highly recommended read more

I have a very limited diet so I wasn't able to get a large serving. I went with three tamales and chili . My waitress brought me over her 2 favorite hot sauces to try and they hit the spot! Every plate I could see at the tables around looked and smelled delicious. I'll have to come back when I'm staying longer to try more dishes. Server was friendly and was not the least bit bothered that I was dining alone. I'll definitely be back. read more

I absolutely understand the appeal and the draw @ Doe's, I've eaten at the one in Fayetteville & Ft Smith, it's a Good Steak, with Great Sides served family style and worth a visit. Old location, Nostalgic, really neat place. read more

This spot has the BEST customer service! Me. Maggie is the best I have ever had at any restaurant!! She goes ABOVE and beyond, from carefully packing Togo bad, to knowing every ounce of menu. She even suggested the sauces we needed and brought every single one to the table! For example the portions are Huge! And we wanted to share one steak but not all wanted a med rare steak she told us she couldn't cook most rare and one side well! She's the best! We ordered The tamales for the appetizer they are delicious with the green sauce. We all spilt The 5 pounds steak which came with two helpings of potatoes Texas toast and fries! The salad is also delicious !! Run don't walk! read more

We were in Fayetteville and decided to try this place. The steaks were delicious and it's very family oriented. Great prices as well

Omgosh Delicious! 6PM Doe's was the place to be on a hot Sat. summer night. It was already packed and staff hustling, handled the crowd well and our wait (two couples) was not long. Out of porterhouse steaks so couples split equally great T-bone - quality beef cooked just right rare and medium rare. Steak was so good we gobbled almost all, along with the salad, potatoes and home fries. Excellent service. Why did we wait so long to return?! We won't do that again. Totally forgot to take a photo - picture perfect Southern steak dinner! read more

We've been here 3 times in the past 9 months....and we live in Arizona... We come every time we are in Little Rock because it's that good. Get the 3 lb porterhouse and share between the 3 of us. The steak is always well done, fries are amazing. Not a fan of "wet" salad. Is that a Southern thing? Shrimp are so good too. We love it all! read more
