The food was awesome! We were there with a group of 20 The food came out pretty much at the same time for all of us. I had the Shrimp with Chili honey sauce.. the 6 shrimp were HUGE... My husband had the Tamales a dozen with Chili ... needless to say he brought 6 home and chili ... Awesome food ! The room we were was a little dark for my taste. It wasn't night time we were there for lunch! Could probably use an update! Our waitress was Mary ... she was awesome... friendly, quick and even had a joke or two for us! Definitely the kind if waitress you would be pleased to have ... read more

Food was very mediocre for the price and the travel time, we traveled over 2 hours to try this place and the server was very mid and wasn't very attentive Now the gumbo was probably some of the best gumbo I have eaten in my life! I would go back for the gumbo but no love loss with any other food there Menu isn't very big and needs more desert options! read more

I went to Doe's to celebrate a family members birthday with dinner. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the food. Doe's menus is very interesting. For example, fried shrimp is listed as an appetizer. If you want to choose it as an entree, there is an additional charge for the side salad and a side of fries or boiled potatoes. The shrimp were deveined but there are definitely other restaurants in BR whose shrimp have a better taste. Our server was nice and the restaurant has a home feel. I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. read more

Service was great and helpful. Only ordered tamales and chili. Chili was spicy and delicious. Tamales were ok. Will go back to try the steaks. read more

Steak was amazing. Not a fancy place, and I wish they had better sides. But if you want a good steak, you won't be disappointed!!!

5 stars is not enough! The delta tamales are almost as amazing as the chili. The owners are wonderful and very accommodating. Definitely coming back. read more

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 read more

I went to Doe's for the first time with an OG Baton Rouge friend and sat in the bar in the back of Doe's. I loved the feel of the back bar! The staff and bartenders are super kind and seemed to be like "ya family" to my regular patron friend. The food was amazing as well from sandwiches to plate lunch type staples. I can definitely understand why this place has stood the test of time. Try it out next time you are in MidCity BR. read more

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 read more

Doe's hit the spot....AGAIN! Chris, our server was as gracious and attentive as they all have been over the years of our marriage (16 years to be exact), our GO TO PLACE for an anniversary supper! Steaks were done to perfection, fork tender and juicy! I had fried, made just like I like 'em! Tamale & chili appetizer was to die for. Bread pudding was a gift for our anniversary, so tasty, and appreciated. Come on "Restaurant Week"! read more

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. read more

Okay so we heard people rave about this place and we had to try it out. My fiancé is a sucker for a ribeye. The atmosphere is casual at best. The prices are extremely high. And the servers low key look like they just rolled out of bed. I got a lemon drop martini which was good. And I got a petit filet. They don't offer toppings to the steak. My fiancé loved his ribeye. He is a huge fan. My daughter got the chicken strips. She loved hers as well. I just think for the price , the standards should be held higher atmosphere wise. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I would say better and cheaper than Ruth's Chris. The tamales with chilli to start for a steakhouse was kind of weird but really good. The steaks were pretty awesome. I had the porterhouse and the wyfe had the petit filet. She snacked it up real good. Mine was too big so half is in fridge. The wyfe unit said it was the best steak she had in years and mine was delish and perfectly cooked. Fries were unfrozen fresh taters and piping hot. Tres leche desert a solid 7. What a great meal! read more

Heartless host at the front. When I went it there was a woman that wanted to eat there so bad(she was traveling from over seas) I witnessed the host (lady with dark from hair just below her shoulders maybe in her late 50s) turn down a woman that begged to be seated. I felt so bad that I offered to give up my seat for her! The lady host told me NO. Even though our table is for 4 (which is what the lady needed) the host said no. Just broke the old lady's heart. Because of this I'll never go back. And to be honest the food wasn't even that good. If she would have let the poor lady sit not only would they have made more money(because there was two more in her party than in ours) not only would they have had a happy customer. They wouldn't have had a negative review right now and they would have made more money. What a shame the lady in the front decided to act like a witch read more

We went for restaurant week. I got tomato basil soup, which I thought was too acidic for my taste. The ribeye steak was really good.

It was just the right amount of sweetness. read more

Great! Everything was perfect ! No matter what it is, every bite is delicious! We love it

You go for the meat. Eat the meat and love the meat. But also love the fries dipped in the steak juices (gravy? Runoff? I don't know, the deliciousness that comes from cutting the meat.) And then, when you somehow need a break from the meat, have a drop biscuit. Cut it in half, put some butter on each half, squeeze some honey on one half, push the halves together, take them apart and eat one half at a time. That's the proper way to do it. Then eat more meat if you can. They also make a beautiful Old Fashioned. read more

Doe's Eat Place - 3 pound porterhouse (to be shared) - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

We went in the early evening and planned to get the burgers after hearing so many recommendations from Mik'd UP and others. We found that we were too late in the day, so we made a quick decision to have the Ribeye. WOW! Fantastic. Likely the best steak in Baton Rouge. And don't neglect the chocolate cake for dessert. Perfect to share with a cup of dark roast. Still having the envie for a burger, we went back the following Saturday afternoon to scratch that itch. 4 thumbs up! Fantastic burger. We will be back! read more

The service, food and drinks are fantastic. Absolutely our most favorite place to go!!! read more

It's been over five years since I last visited Doe's, so I was excited for a delicious, large steak. I found that the visit didn't quite meet expectations. We had a table of 4, made a reservation for 7:15pm on a Thursday and were seated immediately. We ordered some red wine, tamales and fried asparagus to start. The fried asparagus was really good, although the portion was fairly small... more of a "taster" than an appetizer. The tamales weren't much to write home about... the beef was cooked well but tasted bland/unseasoned. The staff also brought us "drop biscuits" which basically tasted like donuts (really good!). We ordered the 2.5lb bone-in ribeye to share (10oz per person), medium rare. The quantity ended up being just right for a group of 4. It was cooked a little more like rare plus, which I didn't mind too much, although the center was colder than ideal. I was surprised though that the steak didn't have a good sear, and the meat did not taste seasoned at all. I almost NEVER add salt to my food but I had to add a little to the steak just to boost the flavoring. We tried to order garlic mash with our food but they were out so we got some mushrooms instead, which were okay. It's possible my expectations were too high coming in, but ultimately, I just wasn't impressed with the experience. read more

Two words: go hungry. The tamales are a must if you are a tamale fan. I would go back just for the tamales. However, they were not the star of the show: this was the 2.5 lb porterhouse steak. It comes with salad and a potato choice (fries or red potatoes were tonight's option), as well as what they call drop biscuits with butter (very similar to a beignet without the powdered sugar, but more dense, like a fritter). My husband and I shared the steak and really didn't put a dent in it. It was accompanied by a delectable, buttery sauce that made my tastebuds sing. This is a meal that you really hate to get full on. The lunch menu also looks incredible, with good prices to boot. I look forward to going back! read more

We came here on a recommendation and we somewhat disappointed. There is a very limited menu so they concentrate on doing a few things well. I started with a cocktail and we shared an order of the tamales. I didn't know what to expect and it was an interesting dish but probably not something I'd order again. They were small, cigar shaped tamales with a bit of meat inside but honestly had no flavor without the chili that is served on the side. The chili had a smoke flavor I didn't care for. We ordered off the chef's menu which was a soup or salad, an entree (steak, short ribs or pork chop) served with garlic mashed potatoes and collard greens and drop biscuits. Also a choice of dessert. The mushroom soup was delicious, although a little salty. I would order that again and again though. So good! We both ordered the steak and it was superb and HUGE. I ended up eating only half. The garlic mashed potatoes were not a star (flavorless, mostly) but the greens were tender. Our dessert was a bread pudding square. All in all, while I wasn't overwhelmed with the best meal I ever had, it was a good meal in a nice historic atmosphere with really attentive service. It's worth trying because it's been around since the 1940's and the steak was amazing. read more

My wife and I tried Doe's Eat Place recently and it wasn't what we were expecting as far as the ambiance, but the food and the service was great. We just expected it to be a lot more elegant and waiter/waitresses to be more uniform, especially for the money we paid. We both had the 1 1/2 pound steak with the red potatoes steak was cooked to perfection(no steak sauce needed) and you tell that the potatoes was boil in crab boil which gave them the flavor and kick I like. If you want a good steak I recommend Doe's Eat Place. read more

Doe's Eat Place is without a doubt one of my favorite places to eat in Baton Rouge. The steak is always cooked perfectly and the portions are HUGE. This weekend I decided to get a steak salad for a change and it was verg tasty! (I have also had the NY strip, ribeye, mac n' cheese, asparagus, and beer cheese soup before - all of which are very good.) Your meal is served with their homemade drop biscuits that are out of this world. Add a little honey to them and you may be dreaming of them for days to come. My friends and I spilt the Éclair cake and cheesecake with a fantastic chocolate sauce for dessert and it was so good, i brought one home for my fiance. The service is also always on point at Doe's. The team will provide tremendous recommendations and are very attentive. Doe's Eat Place is a spectacular little gem in Baton Rouge for a big date night or to grab a hearty work lunch. I highly recommend you visit! read more

My favorite steak house in the town!!! They always cooks their steaks to my liking and i love the portion size here!! Definitely a special occasion steak house, it's not a too fancy place and it can get pricy but when I come here in never disappointed. They always have great appetizer such as tamales and their chili is so good I would come here just for the chili. Their portion size is so satisfying to look at 2.5 lbs is almost as big as my head! I love the steak here always cooked to perfection and it is always juicy and soft. They always bring out drop biscuits; some fried bread bites that taste like beignet with the meal. Salad is okay, I never really eat it because I'm always here for the meat as priority lol The consistent quality of the food here great and services are always amazing.

We went to Doe's Eat Place recently for a romantic dinner, and were throughly pleased with our entire dining experience! To begin with, the ambiance was suitable dim for the occasion; the venue looks good, but not so fancy you'd feel out of place being casually dressed. The service was spot on as well. On to the food! For our entrees we shared a two pound porterhouse; both the filet side and the NY Strip side were wonderfully seasoned, nicely marbled, cooked to perfection, and so tender it was a joy to eat. For our sides we went with the hand-cut fries and the house salad. The fries were wonerfully fired to a golden brown and completely addictive; the salad was quite good. Tip: Don't miss out on the drop biscuits, which are served with raw local honey - they taste like beignets and are completely delicious. Over and above their excellent food, good service, and nice atmosphere, the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Our two dinners, plus several beers and and appetizer came in at just over $100, including tip - if that's not a five star experience, I don't know what is! read more

My favorite steak place in Baton Rouge hands down ! I've been here numerous times and can say I've always had my steak cooked to perfection(medium rare) and seasoned well. The ribeye and porterhouse are extremely satisfying. The service is awesome and I love the vibe extremely chill and casual. Don't waste your time on the other steak places in BR because trust me I've tried them and can say that Doe's is easily above them all. read more

This is my favorite steakhouse in BR. It isn't overly fancy, but has the best combo of food, service and price. Food: order of tamales and ribeye steak. Both seasoned to perfection and the cook was perfect. Bring a friend - we split the 2 lb steak and were full. Drinks: they have rotational cocktails and compete with some of the better cocktail bars in BR. All of the cocktails were tea themed- mine paired lapsang souchong with scotch and lemon, which worked really well. Service: friendly, but not over the top like other nice restaurants. read more
