Domilise's is a divey neighborhood eatery famous for its poor boys. Located not too far from Jefferson Avenue, this is the kind of restaurant you find by accident. Try the roast beef poor boy or shrimp poor boy with a Barq's root beer. Because of it's compact space, the wait for a table during the peak lunch hours can be long, so an early drop-by is advised. This unpretentious place is a good choice if you want to simply grab a bite & beer.
