Domilise Po-Boys & Bar

Little hidden gem with some of the best po boys in town!The inside is quite small with limited seating but the sandwiches travel well and there's a couple of small tables outside too. The staff is super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. They have all sorts of po boys to choose from, but the classics are shrimp and roast beef, so we ordered one of both!The shrimp comes with some crystal on them which gives the sandwich a nice heat to it. They really stuff the shrimps on there too! The roast beef was so flavorful also, and the Swiss is great with it! We accidentally both ordered large sandwiches but ended up finishing both, they were so good! Honestly the bread is what makes a po boy out of this world, and they do have some of the best bread around. The fries were pretty tasty as well. One of the best po boys in New Orleans for sure!

Heavens, what can be said about this place. It is an experience beyond all lunch places imaginableIt was so packed and chaotic that one could hardly move. Everyone kept an even cheerful tone, both employees and patrons. The crush of arriving people, however, had a line out the door. They eventually stopped taking orders to catch up with the meal preparation.You now enter on a side door, order at the bar and pick up when they call you name in the prep area.I ordered a large po' boy half with shrimp and half with oysters. Accompanying it I got a bag of chips and a root beer.It took a considerable time to get it due to the backup of orders, but they did their very best to move it along.The po' boy was excellent, the shrimp and oysters absolutely delicious with the dressing in exceptional bread. The meal itself was such a treat, and although the chaos annoying, it was worth it.I happen to like these po' boys over the ones at Parkway, but it's a matter of personal taste, similar to Coke or Pepsi.This is a hole in the wall place but well worth a visit, or two, or more.

Best po-boys in town. End of debate. Friendly staff, small, funky building, been here just short of forever.If I was luck enough to live in NOLA, I'd be in here every week, at a minimum.The kind of wonderful, local restaurant that only exists out of the Quarter!Go. Now. And save me a seat and a roast beef po-boy!!

To get any New Orleans' visitor's obligatory po-boy fix, we came to this tiny but storied establishment for lunch, and were not disappointed. I wasted no time in ordering a Roast Beef & Swiss Po-boy with Gravy 15 minutes before the restaurant's close. And Diane selected a Shrimp Po-Boy with French Fries. The Fries tasted fine but were very irregular in shape, including elongated rectangles. My small Roast Beef Po-Boy was not that small, and it was quite tasty with mayo, mustard, Creole Mustard, lettuce and tomato. The Brown Gravy, too, was excellent and enhanced my enjoyment of the supple, torpedo-shaped sandwich. And Diane's po-boy was packed with Fried Shrimp. Food preparation was quick, and workers friendly enough.

I cannot say enough about this place! Watched several videos on where to get a Po boy during our visit in New Orleans. Gerald Gruenig had a video of Domilese's.We are so glad we tried this place! Food was spectacular, service was great and the environment was a mixture of locals and tourist. Great vibes!

Cute and small corner shop with some outside and inside tables. Casual dining. Two older ladies making your orders and a young, charismatic cashier. Menu is straight forward. I got the shrimp po'boy with everything and the BF got the homemade roast beef with gravy. I liked his better. The gravy was delicious! Probably could have had the best of both worlds and gotten the shrimp and roast beef sandwich combo. The roast beef was tender and flavorful. The shrimp were smaller compared to other po boys and everything dressing was barely noticeable. I wish there was some more flavor to it, something was just missing. Parkway Tavern still one my fave places for shrimp po boys, but this place definitely serves a great roast beef po boy

Best po'boy in ALL of the land! Super nice folks, amazing food and fresh FRESH shrimp for those po'boys. This is THE place to come when you're in New Orleans . Cold schooners of Abita amber and amazing po'boys. Just go, wait in the line and enjoy

Small, quaint establishment that definitely delivers on their Po-Boys. I got a large shrimp po-boy. It was well sauced and the shrimp was fried to perfection. I ordered to-go because I wanted to save some for later in the day. It held up pretty well and still tasted great in the evening, 6 hours after I packed it up. Everyone says the bread makes or breaks a good po-boy. The bread they used was good and held up well for leftovers.It did take a while to get the food, despite ordering to go. My recommendation would be to come here with time and enjoy the experience. There were a handful of tables inside and outside with some additional seating at the bar so be warned if you have a large party.

Yelp Review 2024 #55:A few years ago after seeing Domilise on the Food Network, I tried coming here assuming they're open on a Sunday. I remember it was raining and I was staying in the French Quarter area - good thing my friend lived in New Orleans and drove me around.Fast forward to a few years later, I finally got to try what Alex Guarnaschelli was raving about. The place is old, small, laidback but a very good representation of New Orleans: no need for anything fancy, just proudly telling its story and culture. A few tables and chairs and it's ok to share your table with a stranger or two. It gets busy and crowded here. If that's too much for you, you can always take your food to-go but eat it quickly.The ordering process is pretty simple. You look at the menu if you didn't look it up ahead of time, go to the counter to place your order and pay, and wait about 20 minutes for your food. The service was friendly.My original idea was to try their shrimp po boy, oyster po boy, and a roast beef po boy. But that's a lot of food for one person. Time to narrow my choice. I'm not a huge fan of oysters so, there goes the oyster po boy. I hear a lot of good things about the shrimp po boy but I was craving beef since I've been eating seafood in NOLA. But towards the bottom of the menu, it says "Surf n Turf" - roast beef po boy with shrimp! No need to choose. I can have both! Next dilemma was whether or not to get fries. Fried potatoes is always a good idea but what if it's too much food?It did end up being too much food. So, my trick was take off the buns on one half of the sandwich and stack everything into one massive sandwich. It was messy, hard to eat and required a lot of napkins but I had space for my fries! The Surf n Turf Po Boy was a very good call. The beef was juicy and tender, the shrimp was lightly battered and crunchy with great flavors.Their sandwiches come in 2 sizes: small and large. They have soda, alcohol, etc to wash it all down. You'll leave full and completely satisfied for under $25.

Stopped by on our way thru Nee Orleans. Was pumped from first hand reviews and the history of the place. Topped with rumor that it's one of the Manning's favorite places....supposedly. It was a hole in the wall so I was excited. Got the shrimp po boy and wife got the roast beef po boy. Very underwhelming. Mine had little to no flavor. Seriously, it's like I was eating crunchy bread with a hint of the hot sauce I put on it. Place was empty on a weekday a little after lunch so guessing it's more of a touristy thing to eat here. People were friendly enough but the was lacking. I guess you can stop by to say you went but that's all you're gonna get out of it.
