Juneau's is to the West Bank what Domilese's is to Uptown. Because it looks and acts like a classic New Orleans poor boy joint, it is assumed to be one, and has gathered a large regular clientele who keep the line long at peak times. This is a workingman's restaurant, with prices, portions and atmosphere to match.
Juneau's is almost as old as I am, having put forth its first food in 1952. It was there through the big development years for the West Bank, and became not only successful but legendary among those who grew up with its sandwiches.
A location on the corner of two side streets is an asset for a poor boy shop. This one is a house raised high enough for a restaurant to be slipped under it--a common architectural theme in Marrero. The staff is pleasant and very naturally New Orleans.
Two sleepers on the menu are the hamburger poor boy and the several different sausage poor boy. Both are a shade better than the roast beef. Ask to jave the hamburger with just a little roast beef gravy.
