Du-Par's is constantly discussed in regards to the top pancakes in Los Angeles and I wanted to make a trip over there after passing by it for years. As this is a mall with overly pricey parking filled with guests can make it hard to find specifically by Du'pars. I thought the service was fine and it was a pretty cozy restaurant. Although the pancakes were good along with the other items we ordered, it gets pretty expensive and not quite worth it as there are no pancake plates so other items are à la carte. read more

I am so very disappointed! Everything was horrible! The chicken was unseasoned, the pancakes were doughy, hash browns overcooked.

I had such an incredible experience at Du-par's Restaurant & Bakery! I ordered the country steak and eggs and it was absolutely amazing -- perfectly cooked, hearty, and super satisfying. I also tried the banana walnut pancakes and they were packed with flavor in every single bite. You can really tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. On top of the food, the service was great -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The ambience was also really nice, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! read more

Came here along with a guest for the first time in my life. I went ahead and settled on the Denver omelette minus the mushrooms, & my guest went ahead and fulfilled her sweet tooth with a three stack serving of Apple pancakes and a side of bacon. We both agreed to get our coffee with a side of heavy cream. The service was decent, or rather competent I should say-but nothing memorable. Who knows, maybe the guy was tired? Either way, all in all it was a better than average outing at this Old School Los Angeles institution. read more

Ugh. Slowest. Service. Ever. My friend from New York really wanted to go here because it is considered an L.A. icon as well as the Farmer's Market. It was not busy, there were plenty of servers, yet we waited and waited and waited. Waited to order, while servers talked, waited a long time for our food, while the servers talked, no one checked on us at all during our meal so I had to go find someone to give me more coffee, and then we had to find someone to give us our check. It wasn't busy enough that would be a useable excuse either. The food was also kind of mediocre. Basically, living on a legend and I guess doesn't have to try very hard for tourist base maybe. I won't be going back. read more

This is one of the best places to get pancakes. They are that good. We came in on 12-30-25 around 12:30pm and had to wait about 20 minutes to get a booth. They are always so busy which is a good thing and worth the wait. I ordered the strawberry and blueberry pancakes that were excellent. Our server was Felipe C and the service could have been better. My wife's food arrived cold and had to get sent back from being in the window too long. The food was ordered again and arrived within minutes. That is how ordering food and getting it delivered should be done. read more

Ordered for pickup via uber eats. Gave them my name and they found my order. They asked for app confirmation and I showed them my uber eats app that confirmed my Dupar's order was ready. I picked up the bag and the woman Sonny snatched it from me refusing to give me my order. I had to show a second person my app confirmation for them to release my food. Absolutely insane behavior over pancakes. I've eaten at Dupar's twice before in restaurant. Service is never great and the food is average. Love the pancakes but I won't be back. read more

Everything always is amazing when I get food delivered from DuPars! And if you dine in the smells of the delicious food will make you feel so happy and hungry!

*For reference, the pancakes and egg plate were roughly 42 dollars total which I shared with my younger brother. I purchased the OJ somewhere else. 2 EGGS WITH BACON 6/10: The two eggs with bacon and hash browns were great! However, the main reason why I knocked down the rating was because of the price point. PANCAKES 3/10: I would like to preface that I have been coming to Du-Par's since I was three and I used to LOVE their pancakes. They were the fluffiest and were amazing with the maple syrup. Now, I find that they are doughy and are not worth the price. Sadly, while Du-Par's will always stand as a nostalgic diner, I don't think I will be coming back. NOTES-- - Du-Par's has kept the interior the same for the past 20 years so it does feel a little outdated. read more

Recently my colleagues and I were talking about classic LA Diners. Du-Par's came up and my response was it was just ok. I was in the area and decided to check out Du-Par's. It's been over 35 years since I've been to a Du-Par's. I was seated immediately and greeted by my food server. I ordered an iced tea and a bacon avocado omelette. Outstanding service. Fast and efficient. They serve the best iced tea in a glass with mint and freshly sliced lemon. My omelette and hash browns were delicious. Classic greasy spoon diner food. They were packed around 2pm on a week day. They validate parking. I highly recommend Du-Par's at Farmers Market on 3rd street. read more

Went in on Sunday around 1245 and 45 minutes after we ordered, we started to inquire about our food.. The servers were so rude, like it was somehow our fault that our food wasn't ready and we were so rude for asking. It took an hour for the food to come, I wish they would have told us that or warned us in some manner. We asked to speak to a manager and they said there wasn't one. The food eventually came and did taste good, but I just can't understand why the servers would be so rude about it. Very disappointing experience. read more

I like a restaurant that's been around since 1938.they know what they're doing.they know how to make food taste good. I love their fresh squeezed orange juice you can taste bits of orange's in the juice.and everything else is like old fashioned cooking.it just taste good. read more

I will say the pancakes were good, but the omelette, hashbrowns, and muffin were tasteless. They really badly needed salt pepper and ketchup. Everything looked good but the taste not so much. As for the blueberry muffin it wasn't sweet at all just tasted like I was eating bread although it was moist. The service was okay nothing over the top and not terrible, but I will say if you don't like using silverware he told us plastic ware would be $1 for each I thought that was kind of crazy. read more

Despite having been to the farmers market plenty of times this is my first time at dupars! Came here on a Wednesday morning with one other friend and there was quite a bit of a line. Parking was quite bad, with very little space even in the parking lot. We looped a few times inside and out but eventually found a space. There was quite a bit of a line to be seated but it moved decently fast. Never at any point did it feel too long for us. Though the wait for the food was a little long. But nothing I was mad about. The food here was amazing. We had gotten an eggs Benedict and the seasonal special holiday pancakes to share. They both were delicious but the pancakes knocked it out of the park. They were nice and fluffy and were so satisfying to eat. The eggs Benedict were less memorable but they and the hash browns were good as well! Some people have talked about the customer service being bad. While I had no truly bad experiences I could definitely see how staff seemed rushed. Staff seemed to rush by a lot and they took a second to come take our order. While it's something that didn't take away from my experience one bit, it's something to take note of. Overall I would definitely come again! The pancakes were amazing and I can't wait for the next time I can have them. read more

Came in for Tuesday lunch and was seated right away. Was intrigued by the small diner/holiday vibes. Waited 40 minutes for our food to come out. Service seemed too busy/occupied to be attentive. Ordered the avocado burger, French dip, 1 coke & 1 ranch which was $0.50. Total was around $51. The biggest saving grace was that the food was actually really good. Just minus 2 stars for the long wait and inattentive service. read more

Ordered some pies for pick up - drove from 1.5 hours away to get specific pies which we paid and processed through for online - once we arrived to pick up both items we had ordered were not available- this was pretty disappointing - the lack of customer service was pretty bad as well. Hope they can work on this and at least give their clients a heads up on out of stock items. read more

Unbelievable service. The wait was over an hour, and the waiter was rude. After ordering, it took more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The hot chocolate and coffee were both extremely watered down and disappointing. Definitely not what you'd expect. On a positive note, the pancakes were delicious, and the Reuben sandwich was very good. read more

My family took my dad here for his birthday in April, and it was our first time visiting. I ordered the eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious -- honestly one of the best I've had. The food and atmosphere made the celebration really special, and we'll definitely be coming back for future occasions. The only downside is that they don't take reservations, and parking can be a hassle, especially on weekends when the farmers market is going on. But overall, it was a great experience and worth the visit! read more

I came here on a Sunday morning so the line was a bit long but it did move at a good pace. I ordered the applewood smoked bacon, avocado and jack cheese omelette. It had a wonderful flavor and the portion size just the right amount. The staff was friendly even though the restaurant was packed. The exterior is like small house while the interior still has the charm reminiscent of the 40's with plenty of outdoor seating. Great place for good food with a classic appeal. read more

Loved Du-Par's. Pancakes were on point! I t a good breakfast and don't need many frills. This is definitely the spot. And the fact that it's in a farmers market is a plus, you can walk off your food afterwards haha! read more

Probably my most favorite restaurant made spaghetti and meatballs ever lol. My husband has been coming here for years but this was the first time we came together as a couple. He says it's really busy for breakfast. The night we came in for dinner was quiet but I enjoyed it. Also I noticed how clean the decorations were. For an older restaurant I was looking for dust and didn't find any! Our server was really sweet. Can't wait to come back to try their pies. read more

The food is tasty and delicious, but the price is not worth it. For those prices I expect good quality and presentation. Bacon crispy, not burned or fried into a crackling/pork skins (the chips). Flavored syrup options would be nice as well. read more

I saw in the news that Du-Parrs is struggling. I have been to Du-Parrs a number of times but not recently. I had a club sandwich, and my friend had the pot pie. Both of us agreed that the food was delicious. As a lot of people point out, Du-Pars is an institution and when you walk into it, it feels like you are stepping back in time. The service was extremely slow, we were sitting at our table for close to 15 minutes before someone came over. When the food arrived, the person set it down without saying a thing, I asked if I could get ketchup for the fries and the person said something about the waiter, I wasn't sure if he said he would tell the waiter or if he was telling me to tell the waiter, but he simply walked away. I had pretty much eaten my entire sandwich and there was no sign of an employee checking on any of the tables on the front patio. I finally got up and went to the front station to ask for ketchup. I couldn't help but think that this is why they are struggling, the food was good but the service wasn't. read more

I worked up an appetite after walking around a museum, so I was in much need of some food. What better way to satisfy your hunger with some onion rings and a patty melt? After all, as a self-proclaimed patty melt connoisseur, I read that Du-Par's had one of the best around. Well, I gotta say the local diner right next to my office offers up a much better patty melt. The only thing better here at Du-Par's is the grilled onions. It was lacking in flavor and a bit light on the meat patty and not exactly cheesy either. The best patty melt I've found was one at a brewery from a food truck and so far I've yet to find a place that beats it. Their fried zucchinis were good at least, though I'm not sure what the Parmesan really does because it all falls off the zucchini anyway. And while the onion rings were good, the amount they gave you for the price they charge was not worth it. The fries were the crusty types that I love and usually they're great, but they were also just kinda meh here. I tried their Monte Cristo and that was by far the best thing we ordered. A great balance between savory and sweet and with big portions too. Lastly, the service could use some improvement. Everyone was so busy taking down Christmas decorations, wiping down tables, prepping silverware, or on the POS doing stuff that we were largely ignored for a decent amount of time. And our table was absolutely cluttered full of plates. If our server had checked in with us, we would've asked him to clear some of it, but he never came nor did any of the staff. I think the thing that irked me the most was asking for a small side of gravy. My nephew got a cup of water spilled onto his meal, so we needed some more gravy since a lot of it got watered down. It would've been nice if the server gave us a heads up that the dinky little cup of gravy was going to run us $4. And the gravy was bland too. Overall I left Du-Par's disappointed. Not only with the experience, but disappointed with the people who raved about Du-Par's having a good patty melt. It was mediocre at BEST. You're better off trying different foods from different stalls from the Farmer's Market. I would've spent less and been much more satisfied. read more

I'm so sad because I wanted to like this place but 2 hours after I ate this for brunch, I started feeling a headache and weak. I took a nap and woke up with a nauseous feeling and while driving I felt the need to roll the windows down for air from the feeling of wanting to throw up. This was the only thing I ate all day and I'm 100% certain I got FOOD POISONING from either the salmon or egg. I forced myself to sleep at night for the feeling to go away and woke up w my stomach signaling me to use the restroom and was on it for a while. Ive been in bed all day feeling weak and nauseous. Can't believe I paid $50+ just to get sick the next day ... it was so upsetting to piece the puzzle together and was easy to since I didn't eat anything but this as it ruined my stomach. read more

The food was surprisingly delicious. I had eggs Benedict hashbrowns sausage. In addition to a starter salad. The reason for the 4 star versus a 5 start was due to limited staff. They were overwhelmed and could have used 2 more people. I love the look of the restaurant, it was old and comfy. They offer validation for parking 90 minutes. Ill be back. read more

I can't believe I haven't been here in over a decade! Finally I came by on Sunday around 3 or 4pm. Wow, parking was a disaster (naturally - it's Christmas time) but it's nice that they validate. The hosts don't have much sense in urgency. I think we waited about 15 minutes to be seated even though there were booths open. Our waiter was amazing - William! Super helpful, great sense of humor, and very attentive. We shared the breakfast plate (egg & hash brown), French toast, and pancakes. William suggested the cinnamon apple (I think) for the pancakes and it was yummy. The hash browns were okay, it tasted like it was drenched in butter though. It's a bit pricy for the amount you get, but understandable given the area and restaurant. Cute Christmassy vibes. Had fun! read more

Seriously, the best pancakes on earth. Warm syrup and real butter. You will definitely never forget this.

Our food adventures took us to downtown LA again, this time to Du-par's for breakfast at the Farmers Market. It was a beautiful day -- the weather was perfect, and the place had a great atmosphere. The pancakes definitely live up to their tagline -- the best in LA -- absolutely delicious! On the downside, I'm not sure if they were understaffed or just extra busy, but the wait after placing our order took a while, which took a little bit of fun out of the experience. Another slight downside was the price -- while the food was incredible, dropping almost $90 for breakfast for two felt a bit steep. But hey, you only live once, right? read more

Du-Par's gets busy for breakfast on the weekends, but is generally pretty easy to get a seat on the weekdays. Food is just diner food - decent, but nothing to write home about.

One star mainly for service. I came here today for an early breakfast with my family. And the service was just awful. Everyone who worked there looked miserable. Our waiter was not friendly and just plain rude. I wasn't the only one who thought this. I felt so awkward being there. Also, the manager or owner needs to know that it's not okay for their employees to use profanity in front of customers. Apparently they were unaware that I know Spanish and they were cussing and what seemed like complaining about having asked for a straw. If we asked for anything, it seemed like the biggest hassle. As if it bothered them. Food is nothing special too. The only good thing is the overpriced freshly squeezed orange juice. The environment was not good at all. Atleast play light music in the background. The tables were also completely wobbly. Having to have gratuity automatically added also sucks. Especially with such poor service. And only 5 adults. They counted babies who didn't even have food. I would not go back and would suggest you find one of the many other restaurants nearby to try. Unless they hire new friendly staff, and improve overall, it's not worth it. read more

Last night I ordered via Door Dash delivery mozzarella sticks, chicken pot pie, and beef stew in a brioche bun for $57.27. Upon arrival the bun came and there was no beef stew. I then tried the chicken pot pie. It had a sour taste. After a couple bites I went to my kitchen at home to see if I had any gravy type sauce then I thought to myself "is this normal"? I Googled if any chicken pot pie recipes are sour and it confirmed that no- if it is sour then the chicken went bad. I have a little bit of indigestion!!! This is a absolutely disgusting place who clearly cannot confirm delivery orders read more

Second time visiting (once for brunch, once for dinner), and I don't think I'll be coming back anymore. There's nothing horrible about this place, but also nothing that stands out amazing. The food is decent, but just okay for the price point. The service is not the most attentive or the fastest. The weirdest thing is that the guest line to be seated and the card payment line is the same. It takes forever for one host to deal with all that. Also keep in mind that your check will give you suggested tips based only on the price of the food, but when you walk up to the register, the card reader will show you suggested tips with tax included. If you just select the automatic 18% button, you're tipping for the tax as well. read more

Pancakes amazing. Truly one of the best. Fluffy, moist and huge! We got the short stack and shared it between two and we still couldn't finish it. Also, don't sleep on their huevos rancheros. They were delicious! Only reason for the 4-stars is because of the waiting time. It was pretty busy for a rainy Tuesday morning but only like 3 waiters working. Took awhile from taking our order to asking for the check (waiters were very nice when they would interact) but the time was too long from start to finish. read more
