What People Are Saying About Du-par's

In Short
While aficionados will argue about whether the celebrated pancakes are as tasty or well-priced as they used to be, owner W.W. "Biff" Naylor and his executive chef daughter remodeled this local institution with an eye on tradition, right down to lovingly restoring the distinctive red Naugahyde booths. New touches include an outdoor patio and a few higher-end entrees like scallops and Harris Ranch steak, but the overall experience is still that of a friendly neighborhood diner.

Long story short, if you want french toast with some scrambled eggs and orange juice, it's going to cost you $25+ after tax and tip. Went to Dupar's this past Sunday for some post-hangover goodness. It is apparently impossible to order a side of anything that doesn't the same amount as an entire entree. French toast - $8 If you want two eggs with that? $7.50 What a joke. The french toast was delicious, but the $4 eight-ounce orange juice from concentrate was again, over priced.

Um, can I just say that if you go here and not get the pancakes then you are missing out. Not ordering the pancakes at Du-pars is like going to a fine steakhouse and ordering the chicken. Pay no attention to the food snobs here and just go get some freaking pancakes. Oh, the corned beef hash is pretty bomb as well.

If it weren't for the prime location in the Farmer's Market, this place would be closed. I can't imagine that anyone other than unknowing tourists ever come here. I recently moved to the neighborhood and thought this looked like a great diner-style restaurant. My husband and I first went for dinner. That night it was extremely slow and empty. It was so quiet in the restaurant we felt like we should be whispering. The food came out fast and was exactly what we expected, simple, no frills, diner food. However, when I got to the last few bites of my well-done hamburger, it was completely pink as though it had never touched the grill. Though I wasn't happy about that, the rest of the food was fine and so was the service so we thought we'd give them one more chance. We went for breakfast and the waiter was so rushed, we could barely talk to him. He would just speed by and quickly speak to us on his way to another table. My homemade corned beef hash was anything but home made. I guarantee it was straight from a cheap can. It was overly salty mush. The hash browns were barely browned and not fully cooked and when my toast finally came out, it was completely cold and had some butter carelessly spread across 1/2 of it. The butter never melted. To sum it up, everyone who works here rushes through their work and does a very lazy job. Even the menu has typos in it. Does the manager even care about this place?
