Finding a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant is like discovering a hidden treasure. So, finding one that serves some of the best steak in the country is like hitting the jackpot. And that’s where Doe’s Eat Place comes in. Despite its location in a small town in an unassuming building, the award-winning restaurant has garnered national recognition for its juicy steaks. Practically guaranteed to be among the best (and biggest) steak you’ve ever sunk your teeth into, a visit to Doe’s Eat Place is a must for any steak-lover. Take a look:

Opened in 1941, Doe’s Eat Place has a history as “rich and flavorful” as their steaks.

Initially, it was the tamales that attracted customers to Doe’s.

However as time went on, Doe’s became known for another specialty – its steaks.

According to Doe’s website, the doctor would stop by in between calls and “Big Doe would cook him up a steak and feed him in the back. Pretty soon the doctor brought another doctor then a lawyer and before he knew it Doe had a regular restaurant in the back.”

Over the years, Doe’s has won numerous awards for its steaks.

In addition to tasting great, the steaks are HUGE!

Remember, this is a hole-in-the-wall, so don’t expect any frills…

…but you can expect some of the best, and probably biggest, steak you’ve ever tasted.
