Doe's Greenville Mississippi

 Doe's is a James Beard award winner American classic award winner.  Read about its history before you go (originally, whites had to come in the back door in a reversal of the usual protocol!).  CUrrently, everyone enters through the front and the kitchen before going back to what appeared to be 3 dining areas, one of which is also in the kitchen.


Check out the electrical wiring which wouldn't pass code most places and the linoleum worn straight through to the wood in places.


Reservations are accepted and several tables had brought wine to have with their steak.


Salad dressing is unique.  Spaghetti and meatballs is an original menu item as are the tamales which are wrapped in parchment rather than corn husks (we had read a post that coffee filters were used but that did not seem correct on our visit).  Shrimp is fried or sort of a New Orleans bbq style.
