Doe's Eat Place

Doe's father moved to Greenville in 1903 and opened a grocery store in the building that now serves as the restaurant.

The grocery, which the Signa family called "Papa's Store," performed relatively well financially until the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

After several years he finally sold his 40-barrel still for $300 and a Ford Model T. At first, Signa ran a honky-tonk, strictly for blacks, in the front part of the store.

"[1] Customers enter the restaurant through the kitchen, and are traditionally greeted by a member of the Signa family (usually male).

The original Greenville location was named to the James Beard Foundation's list of "America's Classics" in 2007.
