    40 oz porterhouse steak for two, excellent service, steak melts in your mouth. Perfectly cooked for medium rare being so thick.

    Excellent steak, service was awesome. It can get a little loud and menu options are limited. Overall very nice date spot.

    One of the best steaks I've had anywhere, not just here in town. They do the crust like no other! Love the cocktails and tamales we got as well!

    Was looking for a place to eat and this establishment was recommended. The building was beautiful and it had a historic vibe to it. The staff were friendly and the bar tenders were nice. I ordered a ribeye steak and asked for it to be cooked medium rare. The steak was delicious but it was well done and tough. That was my only gripe. I should have sent it back but I was hungry and it tasted delicious.

    I had a 2.50 lb Porterhouse Steak Medium Well with Hand Cut Fries that was cold, the Mac & Cheese was okay, and a Caesar Salad

    This was my first time going to Doe's we had to put down a $100 deposit for a group of 12 which turned out to be a party of 14. We were seated up a few steps near the bar but had to be moved because one of our friends was in a wheelchair and there was no way to get them up there. In My Opinion the Restaurant isn't too Accessible for Wheelchair's or Handicapped Persons. The waitress and Staff were Very Nice and Friendly. Overall Everyone had a Nice Time the Food was Good and the staff were very good in waiting our table.

    Doe's is awesome. I travel to Monroe for work about once every month or so. Doe's is the only place I eat dinner when I am in town. Here's why. Located in a repurposed old building, the ambiance is perfect for a steakhouse. The restaurant is located down a small flight of stairs which is very unique. I grew up below sea level so entering a restauraunt by walking down some stairs from street level is very intriguing. That intrigue continues as you walk inside. I have no idea how long it has been in this building, but it appears to have been there for 100 years. Sure, the ambiance is cool as hell, but that is not what keeps me coming back. The steak is damn good. In particular, the 31 ounce bone in strip is one of the best steaks I have ever had in a restaurant. It is always cooked perfectly and filled with beefy flavor that strip steaks are known for. I would go here for the steaks alone but there is something else I must mention. The green beans are the best, that's right, the best, in the entire universe. I can only imagine they soak the beans in butter and crack cocaine prior to cooking. They are addictive. This high praise is coming from a dude who does not like vegetables. Maybe they cook them in beef fat or something. But they are amazing. Doe's uses Open Table for reservations but won't take a reservation for a party of less than two. If you are a solo diner like I am most of the time in Monroe, just sit at the bar. They even have Eagle rare. Pro Tip - They occasionally run a special on the strip I mentioned. For $ 21.95 (normally $31.95) you get the steak, a salad, and some baller ass green beans. Get yourself to Doe's. If you see me at the bar, I will be the dude on my iPad eating a strip and green beans.

    We drive from FL straight thru to Doe's because this is an amazing steak house. The hubby and I usually split the 2.5# porter house. The green beans and au gratin potatoes are amazing. We usually sit at the bar and get top notch service. Beautiful rustic atmosphere. Reservations are recommended- unless you're ok sitting at the bar.

    Steak was REALLY UNDERCOOKED. Very good piece of meat. The Caesar salad, spinach and artichoke dip, loaded baked potato, and French fries were really good!

    We arrived for the first time by recommendations from town locals. We were not disappointed! No reservation and were told we would have to wait about 45 mins for two which was fine. We were called almost immediately in to a table. Both the greeter and our server were very nice and helpful! Michael, our server, made suggestions and we were pleased. We shared a LARGE ribeye that came with two sides and two salads. ($47ish) THE STEAK WAS AMAZING! So juicy and tender and flavorful! THE AU GRATIN POTATOES WERE AMAZING! Those are a must! Salads were ok, not much on them. We were so full and passed up dessert this time even though they all sounded amazing. A sweet couple beside us secretly ordered a caramel drizzled cheesecake for us to go because they said we had to try it because it was their favorite and so uniquely good. Well it was SO GOOD!!! First time in Monroe from Oklahoma and we were very impressed with the food here and the people of the town! So nice!

    New York strip/T-bone, Amaretto bread pudding, broiled shrimp was amazing with garlic bread for dipping into Cajun sauce!!

    Birthday dinner was excellent, great service! Everything was delicious and plenty of it. Amaretto bread pudding was the icing on the evening...

Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

The first time we dined here was in 2017, maybe, during which time the server slung our children's food across the table while setting it down-- french fries can roll off a plate with gusto! It was when the server placed the food back on the plate for the kids to eat as if we didn't all see what had just happened that put us off to coming back here. Fast forward to June 2026, it's a Saturday evening and the place my husband and I wanted to go was packed. We decided to give The Fat Pelican another try. When we walked in, there were only three tables occupied. As we stood there waiting for any signs of life from someone employed by this place, we could feel the stares from a particular table, as if trying to warn us to leave while we still could. But hindsight is always 20/20. A sweaty man emerged from the kitchen and told us we could have a seat wherever we liked. As we looked over the menu, I noted the shrimp plates all indicated (imported), which is pretty odd, being close enough to the gulf, and because our booth was right next to a poster celebrating some Louisiana Shrimp festival. I ordered unsweetened tea, which was more watery than tea, and patiently requested a soda instead, which he forgot about. One of the original 3 tables energetically waived sweaty man down, asking for their check so they could leave. Another quickly followed suit. The third table may have been playing mahjong-- they were clearly content in being out and visiting their friends. When it was our turn for what may have finally been the undivided attention of the server, we ordered. My husband ordered a steak. "We're out of steak"........ I ordered while he reconsidered the menu, really wanting to just abort the whole mission. There is a $1.50 up-charge for the loaded baked potato, which would have not been a big deal, but my husband's "loaded baked potato" was dry. We didn't bother to hunt the sweaty man down to ask for more butter, because we were both pretty frustrated. Because we were looking forward to a place that included dessert with their meal, we absolutely ordered the chocolate fudge cake. Look-- no shade on Duncan Hines or their brownies, but that is clearly what we each paid $8.99 for. You could literally taste the Duncan Hines, which was topped with ice cream and some confusing blue berries. It was a relief to pay out and leave, especially since the indie hits playlist had started its second loop. If you're still reading and wondering.. no one else came in to dine while we were there. There won't be a third time.

They are the best "home cooking" restaurant in Ouachita Parish. It would cost you a fortune to have the same order at Piccadilly. Everything I have had on their menu is delicious.

I just promised my own brother, who has never been there, that I'm taking him ASAP! PS....their dessert are THU BOMB! AND HUGE PORTIONS, one is enough for two people. Their lunch portions are huge as well. I often got an order to go and split it with my mother.
