domilise's po-boy & bar

domilise's feels untouched by time. the menu above appears virtually unchanged for decades, except for the prices. there's no pretense here; you might even drive right by the place if you weren't really looking for it. however, what you find inside, is good folks serving up killer po-boys, which is all they have from this homey location for generations.     the

overpriced!. this emperor has no clothes. yeah, the poboys i've gotten here have been pretty good. but, congratulations, you managed to make a good sandwich for $14! with the word 'poor' in the name, there shouldn't be a line out the door for nicely fried seafood on french bread that's not even buttered and toasted, or served by anyone friendly. christ, i know it's got a 25 in zagat's, and fodor's and frommer's point you there with raving reviews, but they take full advantage of that by overcharging. the locals that go here do not get what they pay for. go to parkway. or favori. or adam st. grocery if you're a local.

domilise has been drawing people to it like moths to a flame for more than fifty years. their menu is on the wall inside the front door, but don’t even think about getting out of line to check it out.

good but uncomfortable. this place is good. i love the shrimp w/ gravy poboy but this places dining room is tiny and quite uncomfortable. people are constantly waiting for a table and standing around. you feel rushed and not a great place to eat and relax. more of a get in and get out type of place.

over-priced, but yummy.. one of the best roast beef sandwiches in the city, if only cause they put creole mustard on it. also it was 12 dang dollars!
on second thought, the roast beef was kind of dry and the gravy that was added to the sandwich kinda tasted like it was made from a packet.
cool atmosphere, warm and really quiet. lots of pictures on the wall and apparently you can add your own picture on the way out if nobody is noticing( you know who you are).
i will be back to try the shrimp poboy as soon as i can.
i just have to pawn a few things first.

it's iconic - go! drink a miller's on draft for $2 and eat there.

our table was dirty and the sink for the bathroom is in the dining room by the bar. the bartender was busy texting and looked a little annoyed to have to serve us. i had a hair in my sandwich...

as a teenager there was nothing better than an ice cold barqs and shrimp poboy. same now but replace barqs with a cold beer.  really a dynasty when it comes to no. tiny place that maybe seats 25. sit at the bar and get some local gossip. let the ladies make the poboy the way they make it. no reason to change a thing. watch the ditch when parking your car, you may not get out if you go in

this is the neighborhood friendly po-boy shop that you should visit even if you don't live in the neighborhood. a staple of home cooked food served by a family with deep roots in the community.

located at 5240 annunciation street and serving up po-boys to locals as well as the occasional tourist since 1924, the only thing more unpretentious about domilise’s signage is the interior, a true “local’s only” sort of space where orders are placed at the counter upon entry with seats available at formica tables or barside.

consistently packed during peak hours, a steady trickle of traffic from open until close otherwise, domilise’s po-boys and bar has been family owned and operated since opening for just drinks in 1918, the sandwiches having since made them famous as fresh fried seafood and a variety of meats are offered up between crusty halves of leidenheimer bread.

visited just past 1pm on a tuesday, a man referred to by the bartender as “crazy dave” loudly reciting job as he slowly crunched through a sandwich of debris and zapp’s chips, it was to one large half-and-half peacemaker that i was treated mere minutes after seating, the ‘fully dressed’ option bringing ketchup, mayonnaise, hot sauce and lettuce atop fried shrimp and oysters, some bites sweet while others were briny – every one of them slightly different but thoroughly delicious.

one of my many stops in new orleans for famous eats. my dad had a catfish po boy and i had a fried shrimp po-boy. restaurant was deplorable and filthy beyond description. catfish po boy was excellent and the shrimp po boy was decent but the shrimp or cooked too hard and we're of the small variety ala popcorn. glad i went but i will probably hit the other places like parkway or back to mothers

worth the drive, the parking spot search and the line. the poboys are amazing, and my second favorite only to parkway. friendly staff, not much seating, so go early. fried oyster was delish. i hear people rave about the roast beef here, saying it's the best in town. it probably is, but i'm more of a fried poboy fan, so i stick with shrimp and oysters.

good po-boys,  probably a little bit overrated. the half shrimp and half oyster is a must order. price is probaly on the expensive side. the fries are nice.

po boy heaven! probably the best po boy i've ever had. i had the small shrimp and it was still huge. my husband had the hot sausage. the woman working the counter was so sweet. she let me and my husband sample between the 2 sausages (mild and hot), we chose the hot. you would probably miss it if you weren't paying attention. would recommend this place to anyone.

love love love love this place!!!!!!!! a must stop for me every time i visit this city! great po boys! i love the atmosphere here. shady and amazing!!!!
