"We confess that we have been unreasonable snobs about the original Doe's eat place in Mississippi, which we have long touted as the best steak in the South, maybe in all America. But after a few dinners at this Little Rock branch, we believe that Doe's excellence does indeed travel, at least across the Mississippi River; and we would stack up the Little Rock Doe's against any T-bone-and-potatoes meal, anywhere.

The steaks are gorgeous: up to three pounds of pillowy porterhouse, sirloin, or T-bone. They are accompanied by hugely flavorful French fries, tamales with spicy chili ladled on top, and an oily, garlicky marinated salad.

The ambience is delicious, a sort of pool-hall chic with a worn linoleum floor, pictures of Delta bluesmen on the wall, and waitresses in blue jean cut-offs and sneakers. Because it is in a less-than-elegant part of town, Doe's keeps a chaperon just outside to escort you to and from your car."

"The prime steakhouse in central Arkansas. The beef remains sublimely succulent. The accompanying salad, boiled new potatoes, French fries and Texas toast give comforting reassurance that some things do stay the same in this world."

If there was ever a better plate of spaghetti and meatballs...I just cannot remember it."

"There's no meaner feat than broiling a shrimp without cooking the taste out of it. Doe's broiler cook can do it right. Ours were succulent. Dig in and watch out for neighbors utensils."

Arkansas Times

"Huge steaks, great tamales and broiled shrimp and killer burgers at lunch."

Arkansas Times

"Doe's Eat Place has the classic feel of a homespun cafe from deep in the heart of Dixie."

Spectrum Weekly

"Little Rock's mecca for gumbo and gab."
