In 1988, restaurateur George Eldridge decided to bring his favorite steak place a little closer to home. After contracting with the Greenville, Mississippi, restaurant to bring the name and menu to Arkansas, Eldridge opened Doe’s Eat Place in Little Rock, and the rest is history.
Chef David Brown has manned the kitchen for nearly all of Doe’s 35 years in business, keeping the signature plates consistently delicious for scores of loyal patrons. The T-bones and porterhouses, served family style in the middle of the table, come in sizes that warrant sharing alongside a hearty serving of house-cut fries. Pair with the world-famous tamales, and it is no wonder the restaurant has been frequented by entertainers, celebrities and professionals alike throughout the years.
Since taking over in 2012, George’s daughter Katherine has made it her mission to keep up the restaurant’s reputation for no-frills good food. In addition to maintaining the high quality that keeps repeat customers happy, Eldridge has focused on bringing in new faces, ensuring that the next generation of Doe’s fans get well acquainted with those iconic red-and-white checkered tables.
