Domilise’s Po-Boy and Bar
Peacemaker Po-Boy – Half Fried Shrimp, Half Fried Oysters with Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Hot Sauce, Lettuce
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.
