First, this building is amazing. It has been listed on the national register ass a historical building dating to 1840 something. It was sent and wood and the transformation into a restaurant was expertly done. The restrooms were clean and nice. I should have taken a picture of the bar on the second floor. It ran the length of the room. Second, the service was top notch! Never had to ask for a refill and she made a great suggestion for our cocktail. We sat at the buffalo table for Valentine's Day. Third, the food. OMG! My husband talked me into the 8 Oz filet and I regretted it, it was so much steak, but it was so good, I atebit ALL! The fry bread took us back to something we hadn't had since the 90s. It was instant nostalgia for us. I will be bringing friends to try this place out next time.

Lovely atmosphere and setting. The drinks and service were great. There is a lot of uneven stone, so heads up to anyone planning on wearing heels.

The steaks were good but they were served on plastic plates. Butter was in sealed lil.packages and the price is pretty high. Idk maybe I'm crazy but 150 $ dinner should be presented a lil.better I think.

I gave a 3 star overall only because of management service. Otherwise everything else was great! Food was wonderful and service was good. I'd definitely go again.

It's really difficult to even start with this review I would like to say our expectations were rather high considering this is $150 a person kind of restaurant. It cost us $300 for two people. Which is not bad that's acceptable for a nice restaurant. But the atmosphere in this place was horrendous it was so incredibly loud from the group behind us that you could not even hear yourself think we couldn't even hear our waitress take her order it was so incredibly loud this place over serves and encourages people to act like absolute heathens in a nice restaurant. The amount of loud profanity, vulgarness, and screaming is the worst I've seen in any restaurant in a long time. On top of that the salads that were brought out were just bagged salads wasn't even freshly made which was disappointing You could tell it was just that run-of-the-mill bagged salad I expect more from a restaurant like this. And to top it off our $125 steaks we're not even remotely cooked correctly.... Extremely disappointed in this place cannot express enough that this place is not anything that it claimed to be. I hate to say this but I think we would have had a much more enjoyable experience if we just would have went to a chain restaurant at that point it was that bad. 😞

We went to DOEs yesterday for a retirement dinner. Been several times previously and enjoyed the food and service. This time we were sat in the basement with another very large party.
It was clear the other party had been drinking prior to us arriving, with some clearly intoxicated, based on their volume level and yelling of profanities. We literally had to yell at our table to hear each other over their yelling and hollering at each other. Their volume of conversation was literally deafening and beyond anything that should be considered appropriate by the restaurant staff. We asked our hostess several times to ask them to lower the volume which had no impact.
Forty five minutes later and a few bites into our main course, they offered to move us to another table upstairs, instead of kicking the obnoxious party out. We literally took our plates to another table upstairs and continued eating. Completely inappropriate way to handle the situation. It was clear they didn’t want to upset the large party due to the bill and gratuity benefits.
The manager should have been a manager and:
Kicked them out or
Offered us some type of discount for the ruined dinner
Neither of these happened. Spent over $600, complete unsatisfactory experience. Would not recommend.

Excellent food and service. We really enjoyed the charm and rich history of the building. Our service was excellent and had a wonderful conversation with the manager. We appreciate the conversation and will definitely be back when in town again. This nostalgic restaurant truly reflects the history of the area, and where else can you get the best steak in town. Don't miss an opportunity like this! 🥰

I’ve eaten at the original Doe’s in Greenville, MS. I like the old ice house building of the Ft. Smith restaurant better. Same great menu, delicious steak and friendly waitstaff.
Steaks are delicious (especially the filet). Service is fantastic. Strawberry & cream martini was delicious, as well. We had a great time with family while here. But, for an upscale restaurant, the salads reminded us of a diner, the drop biscuits come with packets of honey like KFC, & the sides are disappointing (fries, boiled potatoes, or green beans). But, we primarily came for the steaks (tried ribeye, t-bone, & filet) and they were great so still deserves 4 stars.

Walked in at open time with another couple who didnt have reservations. They were sat immediately but we were asked if we had reservations. I replied with no ma'am and she said we'll we have a small table but you can sit at the bar if you want more room. We said OK we'll sit at the bar. When we got to the bar the bartender said how bout yall don't sit on the end. My regulars sit there and they like that. I was like are we just not welcomed or what? Anywho, I usually never post reviews but the staff was so rude tonight we left. I love the steaks and food but that service was awful.
