Doe's Eat Place 1023 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 (501) 376-1195 does@doeseatplace.net [DINING] [ATTRACTIONS] [RECIPES] www.doeseatplace.net What has become a Little Rock landmark of national renown -- Doe's Eat Place -- has its origins in the unlikeliest of models, a no-frills diner deep in the delta. But then nothing about Doe's is quite what one would expect from a world-class steakhouse -- except fabulous steaks, that is. A longtime regional favorite, Doe's rose to national prominence during the 1992 presidential election campaign, when Clinton staffers made it their hangout. When then-candidate Clinton was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine for the September cover story, Doe's was the setting. Throughout the vagaries of political fame & fortune, however, Doe's has maintained its down-to-earth atmosphere. New photographs and clippings may continue their spread across the walls, but the real stars will always be our "eats," including steak you can cut with a fork; burgers, homemade tamales.
