Small neighborhood establishment (only 5 tables in the entire place) that has been serving po-boys for a long time. Between four of us, we had shrimp, beef and mixed seafood po-boys. All delicious. The quality of bread is part of the reason that these po-boys are so great. We had been told by a local to get here no later... More

Great food and atmosphere. Tough to find if you don't know the neighborhood, but worth the trouble.

Saw Domilise's on tv and other reviews very positive. Had an oyster po-boy; my wife had shrimp. Both were pretty good, somewhat expensive ($14 or so), but we didn't generally feel they were worth they hype, price, or drive. Went at 3pm on a Friday and there was no wait, nor other customers.

As a "lived here all my life" New Orleans "uptowner, I can truly say that In its heyday, this was one of the best poboy establishments around. Sorry to say it's no longer true. They don't cook their own roast beef, and their fried seafood is average at best. Many other much better choices for a truly great N.O. poboy.

Watch the guy infront of you and order your Po-boy dressed. Small local shop. Hasn't changed - thank GOD - in 40 years. Fried oyster, fried shrimp and roast beef are the 3 best.

I have been eating Domilise's shrimp po-boys for over 35 years. This little corner neighborhood bar has been around a long time. First came with my Dad when I was a child. I then attended college in New Orleans and it continued to be my favorite place to eat a shrimp po-boy. My husband and I make it a point... More

This place has not changed at all! It is a neighborhood joint (hole in the wall is quite accurate), packed during lunch-- expect to wait. The Roast Beef po-boy is juicy, messy and delicious. The shrimp po-boy with sauce is a must try. I loved it as a student and love it still today years later! DOn't expect anything fancy--... More

Wow, who would expect such good food here. the line was out the door. the wait wasn't long and were able to secure a spot at the "bar". Don't be discouraged from the outside. stop in and order and you won't be dissapointed. The best food... More
