    Doe's Delta Hot Tamales
    Jenny L.

    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.

    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.

    Outstanding taste! Great service! Nice portions good location! Would recommend to anyone!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

They also have the cutest merchandise available for purchase. It's a great place for date night, hanging out with friends, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, or just spending time with family.

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.

Jack was our server. He made some excellent recommendations!! The chicken pot pie had a kick to if so fyi....Everything was delicious!! Turns out we got and order of the boudin pie instead of the crawfish pie but it was delicious! He did bring us out a crawfish pie to try (not pictured) and it was also excellent!! The red beans and rice were the best I've had. And I've done a red beans and rice tour in NOLA and this was the best I've had!! We rounded out our meal with the Eye of the Tiger pie. And holey moley!!! The best finish to our meal!! They also have a great craft beer selection on draft. The only downside to this place is the parking is not great and there are only two bathrooms that are unisex. But heck....I'll be back every time I visit BR!!

For appetizers, we had the cachapas with pork which were delicious. Recommended app for sure! My wife had an Indian curry with cabbage, purple rice, chick peas and spinach-wow!!!!!! Probably the creamiest tasting curry ever! You could add a protein but wifey went with the vegetarian option and it was great! It wasn't perfect bc there were some chick peas that weren't cooked all the way and were crunchy I went with the mussels in a pesto cream sauce with potatoes and it was sooooo delicious!!! Again not perfect as some mussels had that sandy/gritty taste which I didn't like it most of the them were fine. The ambience here is great! The owner really has thought out every detail to make sure you have an amazing experience. From the decor, music, staff-you can tell there was a a lot of thought, care and love put into it. Our server was very attentive and made great recommendations.

    The waitress service and the food were both really good, and we appreciated how kind and attentive…read morethe staff was. We specifically found this restaurant because we searched online for gluten free restaurants, so we were excited to see that you offered a separate gluten free menu. However, there are some serious issues with the accuracy of that menu that need to be addressed. When we asked about the pork rinds brought to the table, we were told they are fried in the same oil as everything else. That in itself is your choice as a restaurant, and we understand cross contamination can happen. We were also told the french fries are cooked in beef tallow in a separate fryer, but they are not considered gluten free, which is why they are not listed on the gluten free menu. Again, that is completely understandable. What is not acceptable is having items listed on the gluten free menu that are not actually gluten free due to cross contamination. The pork rinds and cheddar filled tater tots were both listed on the gluten free menu despite being fried in shared oil with gluten containing foods. For someone with celiac disease, this is not a small mistake or a dietary preference issue. My husband has celiac disease, and if he had eaten the pork rinds based on trusting the gluten free menu, he could have become extremely ill and potentially needed hospital care. Our daughter has gluten sensitivity, and she would have been sick for the rest of the night as well. Many people still treat gluten free as if it is just a fad diet, but for people with celiac disease, it is a serious autoimmune condition that causes real physical harm. To the OWNER: please educate your staff and kitchen on what gluten free truly means, and update the menu so customers can trust it. People with celiac disease should not have to risk getting sick because menu items are mislabeled.

The asparagus could have been seasoned a bit more. The baked potato was also over baked and for some odd reason I didn't have bacon bits and my friend did. The gumbo was fantastic I wish I would've gotten a bigger bowl! The salad was simple yet delicious. It could've had more veggies and the cherry tomatoes could have been cut. I don't like having them roll everywhere trying to cut them on such a small plate. The drinks were amazing and don't owe me anything!
