Garden & Gun Magazine's 2024

 Seven Venerable Steakhouses in the South


"You can try to tell first-timers about the peculiarities of Doe’s, but when you pull up to the building that resembles a Depression-era country grocery (which it once was) and access the well-worn dining area by way of the sizzling kitchen, they’re still amazed. Even more gobsmacking are the ginormous cuts of beef, Delta-style hot tamales, and broiled shrimp that helped make Doe’s the first restaurant in Mississippi to earn an America’s Classics designation from the James Beard Foundation in 2007. You can’t know until you go."

Forbes Magazine Story on True South Edition

"Don’t you dare order a porterhouse well done at Doe’s. Medium rare is the way to go. Ask for the garlic butter brushed on top and a side of au jus for dipping the crispy fries."
