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. More

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. More

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. More

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

This neighborhood poboy restaurant is by far the best shrimpo poboy I have ever had. My family has gone here since I was a child. Everytime I find myself in NOLA it is the first place on my agenda to hit. Dot, the owner, goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and like family. I find myself... More

We ordered a shrimp po’boy and an oyster po’boy. The shrimp was much better than the oyster. Neither was as good as expected. Definitely order the horseradish on the side – gives a sandwich a little kick. The restaurant is very small, and extremely crowded. We were there on a Friday after 3PM, and still had to wait for a...

I had the combo catfish & shrimp, and it just doesn't get any better for a seafood po'boy sandwich. More
