The original Doe's Eat Place was founded by Dominick "Doe" Signa and his wife Mamie in Greenville, Mississippi. It began as a humble grocery store where Mamie sold hot tamales and Doe ran a honky-tonk at the front, serving chili and fish to a strictly black clientele. One of the local doctors began stopping in between calls, and Doe cooked up a steak and fed him in the back. The word about Doe's cooking got around, and Doe focused on the restaurant now known as Doe's Eat Place. In 1988, George Eldridge, an east Arkansas restaurateur and hobby pilot who had flown friends and clients to Doe's Eat Place for steak and tamales for years, brought the name, menu and no-frills eatery to downtown Little Rock in 1988. Though it had long been a regional favorite, what really put Doe's Eat Place on the map was when then-candidate Bill Clinton and his staff made the Little Rock location their campaign hangout during the 1992 presidential election — it's even where Clinton was interviewed by Rolling Stone for a cover story. But for all its press, Doe's maintains that the eats are the true star here. You'll want to bring an appetite—or a friend—as the 30-day-aged steaks are served family style by the pound, starting at 2 pounds. Steaks come with fries or new potatoes, Texas toast and Doe's signature soaked salad, amply dressed in a lemon-olive oil dressing. And don't miss the Delta-style beef tamales, served with homemade chili.
