Fantastic meal, and exactly what you would expect if you've ever been to a Doe's. They keep it simple, and do simple incredibly well. The menu is basic. The steaks are always huge and perfectly cooked. Had the fried shrimp as well for an appetizer and they were great...nice size, lightly battered. Service is outstanding. The girls took great care of us. Really enjoyed the vibe of this Doe's in particular, and you can't beat the location. read more

Doe's Eat Place - Steakhouses Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

We were a family of 11 celebrating a high school graduation. Our server was excellent. We all order a variety of steaks,all of which were cooked to perfection and delicious! My wife and I split the Queen Filet ( 12oz.) It was extremely tender and about the best tasting steak I had ever eaten in a restaurant. A wonderful evening! read more

Long-time Fayetteville staple, with great food, drinks and excellent service. A very chill vibe in a great spot with plenty of nearby parking, both in lots and street-side. Menu is still on point after all these years! read more

Doe's has the best steaks in NWA by a long shot. I had the 2 pound porterhouse with the roasted potatoes which was amazing! The excellent service was the cherry on top. read more

Good was perfect! Service was really good. Love the casual ambiance. Will definitely go back.

Absolutely devastated that the Benville location closed and so unexpectedly... HOWEVER, hardly a shock. Some of my favorite food I've ever had.... BUT hands-down some of the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced at any restaurant. This was not simply on one occasion, but repeatedly, especially over their last two years of business. After hearing the Fayetteville location was still in business, we redirected our plans to go to that restaurant (mind you that is a 2 1/2-3 hr drive). Called ahead to verify hours and to our complete shock they close at 8 PM on the weekends??? Either way the individual who answered the phone was unbelievably rude and dismissive any of my questions. I said my concerns about driving that far wanting to make sure they wouldn't close early unexpectedly. The kind individual pretty much said when things slow down, they stop seating and if that's early open parentheses before posted closing time) so be it!?!?!? As such, we did not make the trip. Clearly, same ownership, same wonderful customer service. What an absolute shame. To have such an amazing product, but terrible customer service is a tremendous lost opportunity for the business owners and community alike. read more

We absolutely love Doe's. Have been going since it opened many years ago. Probably have maybe just 2 or 3 over done steaks in over 100 times I have gone. Going again for our anniversary this week. 48 years. read more

First time going to Doe's and came away absolutely shocked and completely satisfied. First things first our waitress was terrific. Our drinks were always full and our question's were answered with positivity and truthfully. She was also very attentive and we didn't have to wait long to order. We ordered the tamales and the half and half shrimp appetizer that comes with 6 broiled shrimp in a flavorful garlic sauce with a lot of spices and six fried shrimp. For our entrees we ordered a 11oz fillet (Queen) and a 2lb porterhouse. Starters-The tamales are delicious. I've had my fair share of tamales with chicken and pork mainly from food trucks in Fayetteville and they are very good. The tamales at Doe's are made with beef and they are honestly the best tasting tamales my mouth hole has had. The chili that comes with it knocks it out of the park. The chili would be perfect on a chili dog or with just crackers but they nailed it with their tamales. 10/10 The fried shrimp was just as good as any shrimp I've had at a seafood restaurant in Florida or in Orange Beach, Alabama. The cocktail sauce is perfectly balanced with the horseradish, acid, and ketchup. This is one of the reasons why I said I was shocked earlier bc it was so good. When we're at the beach I'll order grilled shrimp over fried but if it tasted like Doe's fried shrimp I wouldn't. Just trust me on this one. 10/10 again. The broiled shrimp was cooked perfectly. The garlic butter sauce it came in wasn't bad. It was seasoned well and worth trying. I recommend the fried shrimp over the broiled but to each his own. 7/10. Entrees- My son split a porterhouse with his mom and he devoured it. He crushed the strip and the ole ball and chain had the fillet. I didn't try it but they said it was cooked and seasoned nicely. They went with the boiled red potatoes and mushrooms for their sides and even though they liked them the fries are the go to. I had the 11oz fillet with fries. Again SHOCKED! I will put their fries up against any restaurant. They put on a master class with them. Cooked, cut, and seasoned perfectly. They were crispy and hot. Man they were freaking bad ass. Look if you could only eat one thing from the menu I would honestly order the fries. Without a doubt the best fries in Arkansas by a landslide. I could go on and on about these crispy boys. 100/100. Bravo! Freaking Bravo! Ok, my steak (11oz fillet) wasn't seasoned and that's why I couldn't give them 5 stars. It was cooked correctly but it lacked flavor. I usually order ribeyes but I had implants put in my mouth 3 weeks ago. All steaks were finished with a ladle of butter. When my mouth heals I will 100% be back and order one of their giant ribeye steaks. 7/10 I forgot to mention our steaks came with Southern style drop-biscuits that were fried. Our waitress recommended we eat them with a little bit of butter and honey and she couldn't have been more correct. What's that moron Guy Fieri say "they would be good on a flip flop"? That's probably not true but they are delicious little flavor bombs. They kinda remind me of something you would get at the fair for $12. Overall-Doe's is a little bit pricey but Fayetteville lacks really good restaurants and this place is worth the money. If you want to keep it a little bit cheaper I recommend ordering 6 tamales and the fried shrimp entree. The fries alone are worth making a trip here. On the flip side save your hard, earned money for a few weeks and get a steak and an order of the tamales. You deserve it. Enjoy! read more

My favorite steakhouse! Great atmosphere with adorable wait staff (Anna is a delight). We always get the fillet mignon. It is always cooked perfectly and is juicy. We love to have the tamales with chili as an appetizer. I know that sounds crazy but they are amazing. Another favorite item is the bread bites with honey. It's a crash between a hush puppy and a bread roll! read more

A great steak place! I had the ribeye with broiled shrimp. Both were excellent! Sky at the bar was awesome and Gracie, our waitress was top-notch! I'm so glad this place was recommended. We were staying in nearby Springdale for work and one of the local guys tipped us on this gem! read more

Food. Service. Ambiance. Was very good was recommended by the locals. Sides were meh but the steak was great

Come here and eat steak. Don't worry about other stuff. Just eat the best steak you've ever eaten. Kinda fun vintage decor in an old unrestored building. Good service. The wine list was decent if not expansive, and the wine prices were very reasonable. We started with their famous Mississippi tamales. I'm ambivalent. Being from Texas, I found the beef filling bland and the light and almost fluffy masa to be off putting. This is just my tastes and others, I'm sure, think this is how tamales should be made. The parchment paper wrapping instead of corn husks was novel and interesting. However, the chili served with it (lots of meat and well seasoned) was excellent. Let's talk steak. 3 of us shared a 2 lb. Porter house. I'm a light eater and prefer the filet, which I shared. However, with the big bone (which your dog will LOVE you for) 2 1/2 or 3 is better for a group. Taste? Out of this world. Easily one of the best steaks I've enjoyed over the years and I'm a steak lover. Let's talk sides. The porterhouse came with a dish of 3 small red boiled potatoes (or we could have had fries). Tasty potatoes, especially if you added the butter available on the table and salt and sour cream (in packets) but seriously, three small potatoes for a $72 steak? The infamous soaked salad (which I was dreading based on previous reviews) was actually pretty tasty, if not sophisticated. Yes, there's too much dressing.My biggest salad complaint was some brown leaves which should have been discarded. read more

Best steaks in northwest Arkansas. Very casual and comfortable atmosphere. Their tamales are a great way to start a meal!

Great service and amount of food every single time I go. Love the setup of choices, that doesn't leave you wandering around the menu for too long. Highly recommend any night of week (other than Sunday). read more

First time at Doe's. Will not be the last. The steak was amazing. Cooked perfectly to the temperature you like. No need for any steak sauces, they melt in your mouth. Our waitress, Carley, was so nice and friendly. Turns out she has only been there 2 weeks but already so helpful. read more

Our table of three all had great steaks-huge- each one was enough to feed all three of us. None of us could eat that soaked salad ( and we usually love soaked salads at other places) but this was only a bowl of iceberg lettuce with what tasted like oil on it. You'd think for a $60 +- per person dinner place you might get a bit more than only iceberg lettuce. The steak was the star. Green bean side was "ok" but nothing to get excited about. We actually made 4-5 additional meals on the leftover steak. ( and let them keep the salads and sides we just didn't hardly touch. read more

Convenient location in the heart of Dickson Street. Great steaks cooked perfectly to order. Tamales to die for.

Had dinner here on a weeknight with a couple of longtime friends. Doe's on Dickson is always buzzing with activity, even on an otherwise uneventful weeknight. We started out with some of their famous tamales and chili. They are delicious - smother some chili and some hot sauce on them - hard to beat. Just don't eat too many or you'll be taking steak home for breakfast. Simple salad with an olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic dressing is both pleasant and somewhat palate cleansing ahead of the main show. Bring on the meats! Filets, porterhouses, t-bones, there's a cut for everyone. Choose based on your appetite or meat preference. I like them all. The Doe's filet is one of the most tender I have ever had. The porterhouse, the best of both worlds - a tender filet on one side, and a more flavorful strip on the other. A t-bone, similar to a porterhouse, but just a sliver of filet. They also serve fries or boiled potatoes with the steak. Small, two-bite sized fried bread are too tempting to resist. Drizzle some honey on it, and you will pop 3-4 in your mouth before you know it. The service is always great - drinks are filled and the food timing is just right. Doe's is always a treat. Just bring your appetite and your wallet! read more

Doe's is an amazing hidden gem in Fayetteville full of history and sports memorabilia. They make amazing tamales, soak salads, and a damn good steak. Cooked to perfection medium rare, so juicy and tinder. I have been eating here for 25 years since I was a little kid. Definitely best steak in northwest Arkansas. Only competition is Herman's. read more

This review is more so for the the steak . So to begin I ordered the 2.5lb rib-eye steak and it was delicious. Cooked to perfection, dripping with juices, well marbled and well seasoned. It was a challenge to finish but worth every bite. The fried bread was tasty and my waitress was attentive. Now to talk about the remaining...if not for the steak being the rock star I would have given this a 2 to 3 star at best review. To begin they ran out of beer, salad were wilted and disgusting, no drink menu, the sides were particularly disappointing and pricey. The atmosphere could really use some work. On the whole they are a steak joint and it lived up to the hype...everything else was a disappointment. My parter has been to the establishment in Fort Smith and they have the same steaks but everything else is up to par. read more

Doe's Eat Place - The Rib-eye - Steakhouses Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

My original review was probably too harsh. I have eaten at Doe's twice since the original review. The steaks are actually pretty good. Just be warned, they are are huge. A ribeye can feed two people and the damn thing costs $48. - The steaks are extremely large - Doe's basically serves steak and shrimp. Menu is rather simple. - Sides are pretty good - Tamales are very good - Full bar. Local selections beer on draft. - Very casual dining experience with a fine dining price tag - Great location on Dickson to grab some red meat before or after the game. read more

Steak. Steak steak steak. Steak? Steak! If you don't want steak, go somewhere else. The closest thing on the menu to a vegetarian option was the chicken fingers (though I guess you could get by on boiled red potatoes and the little balls of heaven they call drop biscuits and honey). But the steaks are massive and wonderful - get the 2-pound ribeye, or the 2.5 pound porterhouse for two, for one, and let your cardiologist worry about the consequences. There are fancy steakhouses, and then there's Doe's, and the food here is as good or better than at any steakhouse I've ever frequented. read more

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. No acknowledgment or even greeting when we walked it, tried to seat us at a dirty table. The food options were pitiful and my daughter ended up getting horrible food poisoning. I don't think I'll ever want to eat in Fayetteville again, because of this awful meal. read more

If your looking for the best steakhouse you gotta stop here for the best. When you walk into this steakhouse you definitely no your in for a treat. I highly recommend starting off with the tamales n the chili they have. Probably the best around. Always had great service and the steaks here are huge with great sides to go with it. Definitely worth the wait to eat at one of the best steakhouses around the area. read more

All I can say is WOW! This is our new favorite place for steak and shrimp. The wild caught fried Gulf shrimp were fantastic and the filets we had were wonderful - great taste and cooked perfectly. We tried the half & half potatoes (boiled red potatoes and french fries) and were impressed with them too! (I'm a bit of a french fry snob and these were fantastic!) The southern rolls and the salad were ok, but they weren't meant to be the stars of the show. The atmosphere is very casual - if you want a more high-brow place, go to Ruth's Chris - if you're looking for a great steak in a casual setting, Doe's is THE place to go! read more

I do recommend this restaurant although my steak was a bit off last night. 1 1/2lbs T bone was a bit chewy and no flavor unlike previous visits (maybe choice cut instead of prime this time). Staff was great read more

Was in Fayetteville for my daughter's orientation at the University. Our friends suggested Doe's because we said we wanted steak. I would highly recommend you make a reservation as the place was busy the whole time we were there and it was a weeknight. The restaurant is clean. It's not huge and the tables are quite close together. It is located in a nice area. Parking can be a challenge. We found metered public parking around the corner near the food truck area. The menu is steak, steak, steak french fries, boiled potatoes, tamales and steak. But huge steaks!! It is also pricey so be prepared for a little sticker shock. Most steaks are priced by the pound. The ribeye was $65. Be prepared to wait for your gigantic steak as it takes time to cook. My daughter and I split the ribeye and still had leftovers. It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and seasoned just right. We will definitely go back during move in week. read more

Great steak and atmosphere, good service. Highly recommend. Try the tamales, very good.

Savory Porterhouse!! Great service, gentle atmosphere for a steak and a beer! Will be back!

This place is horrible. Nothing but terrible service from the moment we walked in. We are visiting family from a different state and were refused service because they are not "familiar with our IDs." Maybe the bartenders/staff SHOULD be familiar with these sorts of things, it's not a requirement to have an Arkansas ID to be served. Glad we were able to take our business elsewhere. (: read more

Walked in from out of state. Service was horrible and is homophobic would not recommend. Wouldn't give a star if yelp didn't make me.

Do not confuse this place with Doe's in Greenville. This place is not even close. This place is pitiful, including service, food and management. Disappointed is an understatement after having eaten at Doe's in Greenville and even the one that was in Hot Springs for a while. I would never go back. read more

Bad service. I would not let my dog eat there. Manager was a bad person sorry attitude to be running a business. I had to wait for 25 minutes for my food. No sweet tea, no ranch dressing. Too high price. I would not recommend this to anyone. read more

This is a great place to get the meat sweats. Literally. Seems like the smallest steaks always sell fast here, so don't come an hour or two before closing, and expect to get a petite filet or a steak under 1lbs at that time. Steaks here average - i'd say 1.5 lbs, and specialize in TBone, Porterhouse, Ribeeye. Its a pretty bare bones type of place, don't expect fancy sauces, special crusts on your meat. I'd say this place does well with the simplicity of their ingredients. The mushrooms are the best side dish here, and YES - the damn salad is soggy as hell, you could ask for the dressing on the side, but its still wet. Definitely come here hungry. read more

Doe's Eat Place - Steakhouses Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

I came here on a recommendation that the food was quite good, albeit pricey. I did enjoy enjoy the steak and sides very much! The atmosphere was humble and inviting. I really appreciate the service and kindness of my waitress, as well as ones that greeted me and answered questions. The only downside of my experience was the interaction/reception that I received from the front of the house, whom I assume was the manager. He was not courteous or kind, but quite gruff and rude upon my entrance and departure. To be frank, he gave me the impression that my presence was not desired in the restaurant. An experience that I initially looked forward to was unfortunately dampened by this encounter. I can't say that I will return. read more
