The only thing I enjoy more than Mexican food is a nice piece of STEAK ! And Doe's is the BEST LOCAL steakhouse in Baton Rouge, Hands down. Their meat is of such great quality. You pay per pound. The only thing I have not tried yet is their sirloin! This time I had the porterhouse which comes in 1.5, 2,2.5, 3lbs cuts! The 1.5 alone is definitely enough to share but I am greedy with my steak and want it all to myself! (which I conquered in a 2 day span!) The tamales + chili are a must item as well. And their drop biscuits (fried dough balls with honey similar to a beignet without the sugar) The atmosphere is very casual (even a tv in the bar area) which is an enjoyable experience I can fine dine in my comfy clothes! Their bartender & "Cocktail king", George Krause (who is so knowledgeable & friendly) has won numerous awards in the city & can make you whatever delicious craft cocktail your heart desires. I recommend letting him mix up a masterpiece of his own and you will not be disappointed! read more

Last Saturday June-9, we had dinner at Doe's and it was a mixed bag. We liked the interior it was not too noisy and enough space between the tables. We started with drinks and were surprised that there was no Merlot on their wine list although when the waitress checked with the bar they had Merlot. I ordered a BeeKeeper a gin based drink which I had read about in a magazine. George the mixologist, a very nice person, came to our table to explain that he could not serve this and recommended something else which was very good. We shared appetizers, angry shrimp, seared tuna and tamales, I did not like the tamales the stuffing was bland and dry only the chili was good. The other appetizers were good. As mains we ordered the ribeye and porterhouse house and we were not impressed at all. The steaks had the right temperature but lacked the WOW factor. They were not tender actually they were though. There were too much tendons in the meat and tough to cut through. The French fries were dark and soggy. The other sides were ok at best. All by all we will not go back for dinner maybe a few drinks at the bar. read more

Tamales are steaks are HUGE! All veggies are al la cart. Great bar, friendly staff. Limited menu, but if you want to try to eat half of a cow, this is the spot!!! 32 oz steak, yep they've got it. Bring your appetite becausea couple can share a single steak and sides. read more

Sorry Baton Rouge but this one is a NO! My hubby and I went there for our anniversary expecting a gourmet meal and were disappointed at every turn. The waitresses were dressed for tailgating in t-shirts and shorts and the "dining room" is an converted house/former living room. We ordered salads to start and got a smidge of lettuce, one tomato and some dressing. My hubby ordered a t-bone and I got the filet and both were just ok but definitely not worth over $100!! We haven't been back and recommend everyone go somewhere nicer like Ruth Chris or Sullivan's. read more

My sister in law has raved about Doe's for so long and I finally came in yesterday to see what all the fuss was about. It's a quaint and kind of smaller building. Decorated with lots of flags and LSU things. The staff was friendly and I didn't have to wait to be seated. I sat in the bar area and it wasn't overly busy. It was however quite a long wait to get our food, around 40 minutes. So I was really hungry by time it came. I ordered the filet mignon. It came with a side of boiled potatoes and drop biscuits. The biscuits were out of this world!! So good and like nothing I've ever tried before. I was highly impressed. The steak was also amazing. Cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The potatoes however I wasn't wild about. I don't eat or like seafood. But the potatoes are definitely cooked with seafood. Maybe boiled with crawfish or something because they have a very seafood taste which I did not like at all. But if you're into that sort of thing, I'm sure you like it. Overall I would definitely return. I didn't give 5 stars only because it took a while to get our food. read more

I'd have to say the star of the show is the steak. Everything else that came with it is your typical items. Like the red potatoes and side salad. The drop biscuits that came with the steak were good, a little over cooked but still good. They tasted like beignets. Now let's talk about the steak. We ordered a 2 lb bone-in ribeye medium rare ($26 per lb). This was a meal for 2! Yes, my husband and I had to split this monster of a steak. It was cooked perfectly and tasted pretty darn good. Presentation was...eh..but hey...we weren't at a formal restaurant. So it was fine. It was good going in no matter what. No steak sauce needed for us. We had good service. Very casual environment. Overall we had a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend this place for a good steak craving. We will be back. read more

If I was only rating the steak and service, I would say 5 stars! The steak was great. HUGE! I'm so happy my husband knew what to order because it is a great place to share a steak. The sides were not great. Just plain potatoes or fries. The biscuits were not my favorite either. The sides just seem bland. Looking forward to going again to try something else. On the other hand, the service was excellent. Our server was so nice. I couldn't decide between 2 wines and she brought them both to try. Service was excellent from the moment we walked through the door. read more

Described as a BR classic, I was excited to give Doe's a try while visiting my son who lives a block away. While some reviews said it was pricey, it wasn't so, perhaps because none of us had beef. It was also super casual, and the night we were there it was quiet. What impressed me most is the cook/chef made a special soup for my daughter in law. They had run out of gumbo, and he had been playing around with other ingredients. She loved it read more

My first time here! I got the tamales for my entree. They were the best I've ever had. My son and husband really enjoyed their ribeye steak. The biscuits that came with it were also to die for. We will be coming back. Our server was fantastic as well. read more

So good and so full. Nice fresh and simple. Steak and fries - sometimes that's all I need in life. I got the petit(8oz) filet mignon, he got the Queen (11 oz), both with fries. Steak was cooked to my liking, although we ordered medium rare and it came out a bit more on the rare side. I ate it all: the thick cut steak, mound of hand cut fries AND the country drop biscuits (super light) We didn't get any sides or starters. But, saw a few float by... The fried shrimp were a good size! And fries asparagus looked great. We want to come back and try the oysters, bring a crowd so we can sample more, and check out the bar. Ps, the house wine was $5/glass and not too shabby! read more

Night 3, Baton Rouge. Goal: to find a great dinner place where tourists don't go. What attracted me to Doe's first was the idea of tamales AND steak. Who ever heard of such a thing? First of all, I've had my share of tamales, but Mississippi delta tamales? No. So off to Doe's we went. We arrived at about 9pm on a Friday night and they were practically empty. Andrew waited on us and the first thing we did was order 1/2 dozen tamales. They're about the size of a hot dog so two each was no problem. First of all, unlike tamales de la Los Angeles, these are wrapped and steamed in parchment paper instead of corn husks so they're anything but dry. Tender, flavorful, and served with this amazing chili...if you come for nothing else, come for these. Hubs has a local Louisiana beer he loved and I had a Bullit Rye old fashioned that was a bit too sweet for me. Drank it anyway! Wait... did I say come for the tamales? Well they have steak too, so come for that because it was literally the best steak I have ever had! Hubs and I shared a 2lb porterhouse (Doe's specialty) which comes with boiled potatoes that are sweeter and creamier than anything I've ever had. Amazing. Comes with a marinated salad which, they aren't kidding, is iceberg drenched in a great homemade lemon dressing. Good, but a little went a long way and I'd do dressing on the side next time. Also came with these amazing drop biscuits that are unexplainable but 16 went insane for. Back to the steaks: this porterhouse came out looking like half a cow swimming in this amazing au jus. The steak was tender and flavorful and literally the best piece of meat I've ever had. We love steak, we do steak houses--seek them out when we go out of town and have our faves in The City of the Angels, but this damn thing about killed us. 16 also proclaimed his filet the best he's ever had. His came with fries which were good but couldn't touch those creamy boiled spuds. We also ordered creamed spinach, which was too heavy and way too salty. I don't recommend it. Our waiter Andrew was sweet and attentive and gave us the whole Doe's story, and best of all he knows this is the best steak in town. With Ruth's Chris and Sullivan's down the street, Doe's is better at 1/2 the price. Go here but don't tell anyone. We want to keep it a secret. read more

Well I hate to say , but I've had a unsatisfactory experience at my favorite restaurant ! We went here for restaurant week as we normally do at this time ! We had a very good meal with very good service ! And I understand at this time space is at a demand , but , what I failed to understand was how our table was at such a demand where we could be asked to leave because they needed the table with people waiting to be seated when there were several tables around us that were there when we got there and were still there when they came and asked us to leave because they needed our table ! At first I understood but then noticed these other tables that had their meals packed and were just sitting were not approached at all ! I was kind of put off by this situation! We go here all the time and know some of the staff by name . As I said this is my favorite restaurant ! Well anyway, great steaks and for the most part great service! To me best steakhouse in B.R. ! read more

I ordered catfish on a bed of rice smothered in a cream sauce. I think it was the special... The food was great as was the service. I also ordered their bread pudding for desert and it was great. I'm a sucker for bread pudding. It's on the expensive side but the portions are plenty and the service is great. I'm not a very eloquent speaker so don't take my words for it.... just trust me and give it a try. You'll love it. I did. (This is terrible review, but this is about a month later). Also, their tamales are pretty good! read more

Been to Doe's in Greenville Ms and Biloxi Ms and both were great. We were very disappointed to say the least. T-bone full of fat, salad dressing was awful and red potatoes had a strange taste. read more

We started off with a group of 20 and sat in the bar area. It was great because of all the LSU items and big screen TVs all around. Really relaxed atmosphere. We had 1 waitress who was awesome she was on top of our drink orders and we didn't have to wait for a refill. She brought out some appetizers of shrimp, and tamales. The Tamales had a side of Chili and we're really good. We ordered and about 35 min later the biggest steaks I've seen started to show up. I had the 2 1/2 pound Porterhouse and it was cooked just as I asked. I usually like a rare steak but this big I asked for med rare and perfection was on my plate. My wife had the rib eye and it looked just as good. I'd have to say that the steaks here are the best I've eaten! I'd say all 20 of us were very impressed and will be back. read more

Very good!!! Calm atmosphere great dim lighting. Server great calm, explainable with the menu and food of chose. My dad, brother, and I enjoyed the restaurant. Looking forward to coming back again.

Tried this place on zyelp recommendation. I will say the steak was very tasty. The fried rolls were outstanding. The service was quick, eaitress was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, a 2 lb steak was quite large and more than even I can eat. And the price was a bit high for my liking. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion. read more

The service was great and there steaks are truly amazing! It was the first time me and the wife had a date night in a while and I'm so glad we called in a reservation because we where seated in no time! We each a a 2lb ribeye with home cooked frys a salad and the drop biscuits that are amazing with honey butter! read more

Great steaks for people who appreciate great steaks. Simply the best steakhouse in Baton Rouge, in my opinion. The staff is exceptional; the bartender is probably the most knowledgeable mixologist in all of Louisiana and the owners are both just regular folk who will likely stop by your table and sit down for a second just to say 'hi' and to get to know you. Other places in Baton Rouge do some good steaks, don't get me wrong, but I come here often not only for the great food, but I also for the fact that they treat every customer like they are family (minus the drama, lol). I like dining out when the owners remember your name and are glad you are eating with them. I'm a New Yorker, and this is Southern hospitality as good as it gets. read more

Doe's Eat Place - IPA - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Do not order the chicken fried steak. Worst I have ever eaten. Even more worst meal I have ever eaten. The chicken fried steak was just a steak with a lot of fried batter on it. Steak was full of fat and gristle, dry, tough and over cooked and tasted old. Breading just fell off. Didn't have the the garlic mashed potatoes so served red potatoes. Those were gross and tasted leftover and just warmed up. Not a good first impression for me. read more

Holy meat sweats! If you have ever considered going to doe's for a steak dinner you should just stop what your doing and go. The quaint building, friendly staff, excellent food lunch or dinner and let's not forget the drinks. All while being casual. Let's start with the food. The lunch menu is a little more diverse the dinner with spaghetti, po boys, Hamburgs and a few other things long with the dinner offering of steaks, soups tamales, salads and appetizers. Forging a few things on that list also. I have personally had the spaghetti, debris poboy, gumbo, steak, tamales, salad, chili and the spicy shrimp appetizer. The spaghetti is big especially if you get two meatballs the light sauce good for not being a Italian restaurant. The debris is to die for messy, full and mouth watering taking about it.(best in town if you ask me) The spice shrimp not sure the name its a app. Are great if you like spice ask for there BBQ sauce to dip them is for some sweetness. Blue cheese is homeMade witch makes the wedge good to. Haven't had one bad Meal here. Now on the steaks! They are big , juicy hunks of meat! Everyone has there own "the best steak" but doe's is it for me. I like the meat flavor with out a lot of extra going on. Some salt pepper is all you need with good meat. Also a huge fan of bone in cuts. They keep it simple and real with out having to hide the meat behind all kinds of stuff! It's my personal go to for steak. If you like a good drink and a dink list that changes every month you got it. You can drink through the seasons and the decades with George can't beat a history lesson on a drink with eating great food. So over all review lunch is more diverse menu than dinner but they execute it very well and have yet to disappoint me wether its been a cup of gumbo and tamales or a 2lb+ steak. Get up get out and try it. read more

These guys know their steaks from how to select prime steaks to seasoning to grilling them to perfection. My friend and I split a 3# porterhouse; that thing was humongous. We got some macaroni and cheese, salads, and drop biscuits. All of it was amazing and I had leftovers. The service was excellent as well. We were in the bar area and being attended to by the bar guy. My date wanted orange juice and vodka, but the bartender talked him into another drink, which he really liked and even ordered seconds of. So, to wrap up - the best steaks in Baton Rouge that I have had. Great service. Terrible for vegetarians. read more

I can't say that I get the hype for this place. I literally hated everything I had here, including the filet. I had a steak at a community organization banquet last week that was better, and that steak was cooked solid well done. The only steak I've had that was worse was the first one I ever cooked myself. So what was wrong? First there was no flavor to the meat. I don't know if they even salted the steak at all. And maybe that's the point, maybe they're letting the meat speak for itself. But the meat wasn't good. It had very little flavor and what it did have was some strange seasoning that I couldn't identify. I really want to stress that I'm not some steak snob. I've had TGI Fridays steaks that I liked, and I've had steaks at $100 a cut Texas steakhouses. Sure, the expensive ones were melt in your mouth amazing and the TGI Fridays was simply ok, I enjoyed them both. This was a whole different story. Everything else? I got the salad and boiled potatoes. The boiled potatoes tasted like the boiled potatoes that you do with crawfish--pure crab boil. Sure those are good in the right context, but not at a steak house. The salad was laughable; lettuce with generic dressing. Finally, the bread tasted like the beignets my dad used to make and my dad sucked at making beignets (love ya dad!) I should've listened to my girlfriend, because when we walked in she said "It smells really weird in here." I thought about leaving but didn't want to drive around anymore. She got the chicken Caesar salad. It was the worst caesar dressing I've had, waaay too much anchovy. Check my other reviews, I hand out 4 and 5 star reviews all the time. I'm easy to please, but this was terrible. Please do not go here. read more

The restaurant looks like a mortuary from the outside...so kinda eerie, but the only thing scarier than that is how great the steaks are prepared! Whether you go during lunch or dinner- the steak is absolutely mouth-watering good! During lunch, I had the country fried steak- GINORMOUS. At dinner, my husband and I had the porterhouse. Sullivan's and Ruth Chris has nothing that compares to this restaurant! The rolls are distinctively good. I have never been a tamale fan-I guess they taste okay. read more

This place is very good the stake is huge and tender the was it was cooked. The service was a little slow, and my mom got a alas and she didn't enjoy it. Overall I would go back but only for the steak. read more

Crazy expensive for such a casual place. But, if all you want is a succulent Porterhouse and nothing else really matters, then head to Doe's. Back again on New Year's Eve 2014. Made online reservation through Open Table just an hour before my party arrived. Predictably, they were hopping busy but we were seated right on time. The staff was quick with service and unfailingly cheerful. They already had run out of rib eye steaks, but the Porterhouse didn't disappoint. I must admit they overcooked it just a tad, but it was so enjoyable a cut of meat that I harbor no complaints. Salads were fresher and tastier than in a previous experience, I'm relieved to note. The fried biscuits they bring to the table sat untouched, as they simply look unappetizing. Definitely remains on my list of places to visit when craving lots of red meat. read more

The place smelled like BO when we first walked in, but that could just be a customer. The food was super standard and a very boring and limited menu. I didn't have steak though, I had a fried oyster salad which was ok. Steaks at neighbors tables looked good. Decent atmosphere. Kind of felt overpriced for what it was. Salad dressing came in a little plastic cup which had a cheap feel to it. read more

I have eaten at the Does in Little Rock years ago and enjoyed it. This one was not what I remember, coupled with a weird waiter who thought he would be funny calling us ladies all night. If anything, normally my coworker and I are ask if we football players or sometimes coaches... Bottom line tamales and steak are average at best. read more

My friend has been after me forever and a day to come here! And now...I can kick my self in the head for not coming a LONG time ago!!! People everything I ate was SUPPER...especially the 2-1/2lb Bone-N-Ribeye. The people & servers are absolutely wonderful that work there!!! Drinks are great...the quaint bar in the back was supper...you can eat at the bar as well. Just go, but make a reservation to sit at the bar...if you like eating at the bar like me...lol all I can say is that my ass will be back ASAP read more

Best steak I've had in my life and the "biscuits" are addictive! Great for a date night, not too upscale but a little more than casual dining! read more

Went to Doe's for birthday celebration. We made the MISTAKE of agreeing to be seated in the bar area. It was very noisy to the extent that we could hardly hear each other talk. Ordered tamales for appetizer. They were OK but certainly not stellar. We would not order them again. Steaks were good & cooked to specifications requested. Red potatoes were excellent. Our opinion is that Doe's not our first choice over several other steak houses we've dined at in Baton Rouge. Wait staff were courteous and attentive. read more

Great place to eat! I went here with another person and we split a steak which was more than enough for the both of us seeing as we had leftovers! Steaks either come with boiled potatoes or fries and we chose fries which were very lackluster but the main star is of course the steak that was melt in your mouth tender and delicious! read more

This used to be my favorite steakhouse in Baton Rouge. That changed today. My family and I anxiously await the arrival a restaurant week with the specific intention of eating at Does'. And we have been doing so for years. Tonight I ordered the ribeye and was extremely disappointed. Instead of the mouth-watering steak I had grown accustomed to, I had a half plate of fat. When this was brought to the attention of the manager, his explanation was the steak was advertised as a 2lb piece of meat, and though it was trimmed, to have trimmed it any further would have caused the steak to fall apart. Quite frankly, I would rather have had a 1lb steak that I could eat rather than something inedible that was supposed to be 2. I was not offered a replacement or any compensation , just that lame excuse. Needless to say, my family's tradition at Does' ended tonight. read more

My husband and I eat a steak one a year and decided to try this place for our 25th anniversary steak. Needless to say, we've been back twice since our initial visit. The steaks are amazing! The roasted garlic topping puts the flavor completely over the top. It's one thing to have good food and a whole Bette thing to have good service and the service has been totally awesome on every one of our visits. We even had to be seated 30 minutes before closing one night, due to working late, but the staff welcomed us as if it was opening time. This is definitely the only place that I'll be eating steak from now on out! read more

We were pleasantly surprised. We were a little confused at the menu because the smallest steak was 2 pounds. Then the lady said we could share so we had one 2.5 pound porter house and on fish and ended up taking home leftovers ( but not steak ). Was one of the best steaks ever. Delicious and good value for sure. read more

Amazing steaks here! We had the bone in and petite filet and they were superb. Juiciest and very tender.
