"In a humble Uptown sandwich shop that’s been open since 1918, I found po'boy sandwiches that have earned cult status—most people come for the shrimp po'boy, with battered, fried shrimp bathed in a hot sauce tucked into Leidenheimer bread with shredded lettuce, mayo and a pickle; the staff are friendly and the straightforward menu keeps you coming back." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In a humble Uptown corner shop that’s earned cult status since 1918, I found a small, focused menu of legendary po'boys—talk to the friendly staff and order the shrimp po'boy, with battered, fried shrimp bathed in a hot sauce tucked into Leidenheimer bread with shredded lettuce, mayo and a pickle—an endlessly repeatable classic." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In New Orleans, Domilise’s Po‑Boy & Bar is identified as a deli that appears on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide
"If R&O’s is known for roast beef, Parkway for shrimp, and Liuzza’s for garlic oyster, it’s safe to say Domilise’s is known for all of the above equally. Around since 1918, Domilise’s started as a bar and transitioned into a spot for plate lunches for longshoremen and river front workers, and is now one of the most well-known po’ boy shops in the city. We vote for the shrimp here." - Eater Staff
"It’s impossible to say which shop has the best po’ boys, but this Uptown contender is always in the running. Domilise’s doesn’t look like much from the outside, a nondescript corner shop identified only with a hand-printed sign for decades. Inside, longtime employees sling giant versions of the iconic sandwiches to locals, politicians, visiting celebrities, and anyone with good taste. The po’ boys might be considered pricey (a large shrimp goes for about $16), but they’re generous and worth every penny, especially the melt in your mouth roast beef and crispy fried shrimp. Always say yes to the sandwich fully dressed, topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and mayonnaise." - Beth D’Addono
