THIEVES BEWARE. They take credit card theft very seriously here. Food was decent, we got crabcake benedict and a chicken pot pie The crab was real too. Good place to sit down if it's too hot to wander the farmers market for food. Classic diner ambience. read more

I know, I'm late to the party and yes, their pancakes are still superb! We stopped here for lunch after some shopping--it was the perfect choice. The pancakes were fluffy while buttery all the way through the bite. There wasn't a bitter after taste that is typically caused by using baking soda. We ordered the short stake and it was plenty. There wasn't a line and plenty of tables were available since we came on a Tuesday. The ambiance was welcoming, felt like we weren't in the city. The staff were welcoming and attentive. They valid parking. Highly recommend! read more

4* This diner/restaurant has achieved classic status in Los Angeles. It's connected to the farmers market at the Grove. It's got a classic diner menu and they're considered among the best pancakes in the city. The service here is friendly as well. A buddy in mine were in the area watching a movie at the theater in the Grove. We both always wanted to try the pancakes and never been. So we went here for dinner to split some pancakes and a chicken pot pie. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. With a nice slight crisp on the edges. It's served with some syrup and some melted or clarified butter. The pot pie was delicious as well. It's pretty good size for the price. We ended up splitting both and sharing family style so we can both try each. It was a very enjoyable dining experience and great option for folks who visit the grove. read more

I expected better quality but felt it was average. Coffee needs an improvement. Much has to be updated. Coffee isn't what I drank and even with cream and sugar no improvement. . Pancakes were good and what to be expected. Don't know about lunch although the Menu shows lots of choices. Service was good. Obviously the staff has been there a long time. Love that old time vibe. read more

I'm on the hunt to find the best pancakes in LA. So of course, I had to try the iconic stack from Du-Par's. I'll cut right to it, the pancakes live up the hype. If you're looking for fluffy, no-frills, diner-style pancakes, then these are best in class. So if you're looking for simple, classic pancakes, then I don't think I've had better in that category. My omelette was also fluffy, fresh, and delicious. A nice surprise there since I came mostly for the pancakes. But who doesn't love a good diner that has plenty of great options for everyone? While my review shows 5 stars, I'd have given Du Par's 4.5 vs 5 stars if I could have. The service was not very attentive, pretty passive. We had to be proactive to grab our waiter's attention. And everything except for the pancakes on the menu is pretty expensive for what it is. That being said, those pancakes are top tier, and had me grinning ear to ear with each bite. That was enough to round up to 5 stars. read more

We came at a peak time and were still seated fairly quickly. Orders taken fast and food did come out without a long wait. I asked for an ice water a few times, went inside and asked "someone will bring that out"- never did. Not a huge deal but when it's 90 and seated outside there should be water avail. The menu is vast I would for sure come back- excellent pancakes! The coffee was also amazing read more

We ordered two full stack pancakes. The pancakes were not as good as advertised. Maybe we were expecting something that was unattainable due to the great reviews, but the pancakes were just okay. Additional syrup is 50 cents additional, but if you order a short stack (3 pancakes) you get the same amount of syrup, for $17.00 pancakes just give me enough syrup to coat 5 pancakes. Overall it's an okay meal, equivalent to a Norms or Dennys, but at a higher price. read more

We have been going to Du-Par's for more than 20 years and it is always great. We don't go as often anymore because parking is a bear as is the traffic around there, but each time we go we say we can't wait to come back. They have pies for days. They have a great selection of pies and baked goods. Their strawberry pie is very popular. All their pastries are great and you can eat there or take home a whole pie or bag of muffins. The place is just so cute, clean and comfortable. It does get very crowded on the weekends so I would avoid those days. The wait is just too long for us. I don't think they take reservations. The service is great. They can take a bit of time when it is packed but once you have a server they are nice, fast and kind. We love their breakfast and I can eat any of their muffins, but my favorite thing there is the chicken pot pie. It is just perfect. It has the best crust. You will be happy with anything you get. It is part of Farmer's Market. read more

I went for the first time on a Friday morning and it was pretty busy, yet the service was still amazing. My cup of coffee was never empty, and the Traditional Eggs Benedict was delicious. It was clean and comfy. My only issue was the Banana Nut Bread. It was a bit dry and tasted a bit bland. Other than that, everything was great! I will definitely order something else from their bakery next time! read more

Used to go to Du-Par's fairly often with my Grandmother, Hadn't been to Du-Par's for nearly seventy years. Saw some posts online a while back about Du-Par's needing business, so I went to Du-Par's for lunch today. First thing I noticed is Du-Par's doesn't seem to need business. Every table was full and I had to wait around ten minutes for a table. The second thing I noticed was how noisy it was inside Du-Par's. I am probably used to restaurants in my neighborhood (Sawtelle) where even when every table is filled there is hardly ever any noise. Third thing I noticed was how long it took for the food to come, I ordered a hot turkey sandwich. It took over 30 minutes. It was almost like someone had to catch the turkey before they could make a hot turkey sandwich out of the turkey. When the sandwich came it was rather ordinary. By the time the sandwich came my only goal was to eat the sandwich as quickly as possible and get away from all the noise. I ended up with a headache from all the noise. Everyone working there was very nice. I felt sorry for them having to work in all that noise. read more

The wait for food can make you impatient while sitting waiting for food to arrive, but the place was so busy on a Sunday morning around 11 am...so its understandable. The service however is excellent and apologetic...and their attention to detail is amazing. For instance our server, placed two spoons on the small bowl containing the packaged creamers...one facing me, one spoon facing my companion. Same goes for how he placed the coffee cup and tea cup, with the handles facing to the right. Except of course of you are left handed, but still....great attention to detail. The breakfasts are impressively good. I asked for crispy hash browns, and theywere. The scrambled eggs were perfectly hard scrambled. Just as I asked for. Exemplary service. You pay with credit card at reception...I paid and left. A server chased me with my sunglasses and cell phone as I was luckily still standing outside the rear door having also forgotten to get validation for parking. Thank you for going the extra mile in delivering my important personal items. All the servers should get a raise. Service 10/5. They represent the best part of Du-pars. read more

Du-Par's is such a LA classic. I've gone many times now to dine in and also just for carry out. Not to mention, they have a ton of baked goods you can order right from their stand within the Original Farmer's Market at the Grove. The thickest brownies you will ever see for $6.75 can be found here! Like I'm talking HUGE brownies like you've never seen before. It's so indulgent with chocolate frosting on top and at the price~ It doesn't even make sense, it's amazing. Even if you don't have time for a full dine-in, this bakery/togo section is money. Du-Par's is known for their pancakes and it's truth, their hot cakes are hot. Everything I've had at Du-Par's has always been great. Plus, they are always doing fun & trendy items, plus items themed for various holidays. Dodgers winning? They have TONS of goodies for that. Mother's Day this weekend? Yep, meals and even collectible cups can be had for the day of celebrating mamas. It's pretty wild how they have so many fun items for every cool day. Because Du-Par's is an institution in this city, it will always have a line. Even if kinda slowly, it does move as they seat & rotate tables out, so just buck up, buttercup. Always a great experience at Du-Par's and I'll be back many times over. read more

Du-par serves up decent food and it tastes even better when you eat with friends! I enjoyed my Bacon Avocado Omelette and Hash-browns. Condiments like ketchup and Tabasco are on the table. The farmer's market has a lot of restaurants and I was hangry after the 3K walk. The table ordered Fish and Chips & the Gluten Free Egg White Omelette. The French fries were tasty. There was a bit of a wait but it goes by fast when you chit chat with your besties! read more

Pie! I didn't realize the restaurant had a little bakery outside so one can order pie. I got 3 slices to go (pumpkin, strawberry cream, and banana cream). Generous size and reminded me of fall for the pumpkin pie (where I reside now does not have pumpkin pie). It hit the spot. The strawberry cream pie is made with fresh strawberries! I ate the banana pie later and it was still delicious! The employee was kind, helpful and professional while working alone with a long line. read more

Very disappointed that today was the 3rd time ordering from this place and i find something on my food. The first time a gray hair on a full stack of pancakes, second time a piece of plastic on my pot pje and today a black hair on my slice of pumpkin pie , im so disgusted. Cooks should wear hairnets or something to stop hair from going into food and its not the third party delivery because the bags are sealed all the time. This will sadly be my last time ordering from this place after many years but i cant let this happen again. read more

Came here on a Friday around 11. The line was a little long but not extremely. We waited around 45min for a party of 3. We were seated in a booth. I didn't expect it to look like a vintage diner but it was nice. Our serve was very attentive although it was very busy. They offer high chairs and boosters for kids. Kid friendly. I ordered the iced caramel cold brew with vanilla cold foam. It was okay. I also ordered their famous original pancakes, a side of eggs, sausage and their crab cake Benedict. I can see why this place is raved about. The pancakes were buttery, nice and fluffy. The eggs tasted fresh and so did the sausage. My husband ordered the crab cakes which he enjoyed. Overall, I do understand the hype about this place and think it's definitely worth it. read more

Absolutely love this place. I used to prefer the one in Pasadena but they closed it. So now... Farmer's market it is. Du-Par's pancakes are the best pancakes ever, followed by Danish Pancakes (close 2nd). Anyway... it's noisy (as expected since it is a Diner*. Parking isn't too bad unless you go on Sat-Sun. Other than that, be prepared. This is the heart of LA. Lines are long!! Not their fault so many people like their food/the demand is high. Totally worth the wait. If you go in a group, just have one person wait in line and go enjoy the farmer's market, where you'll find fresh produce and the best pickles !!! Go into the Grove and enjoy the stores, a movie, La La Land cafe and other things. Great location, but be ready for long wait times and crowds. Anyway.. back to Du-Par's.. good is great and freshly served. Don't forget to order the freshly squeezed OJ. read more

I've had my fair share of pancakes and these are the very best! They are world famous for a reason. If I lived closer I'd try to get a job here just to find out how they make them. I went on a Sunday morning after dropping my son and granddaughters off at the Anime Expo not too far away. I was surprised the wait wasn't too long. And since I was alone I thought they'd be less friendly but I was wrong. The host who seated me was very nice. My server was very attentive (even tho the place was packed)! I'm just so happy I finally got to eat at Du-Par's after watching Bosch a few years ago. It's a cool place and quite nostalgic. It's a busy area and don't forget to get your parking validated for 90 minutes free! read more

Food is great like always, and the outdoor patio is always a great touch. We went here on Sunday 9/20/26... service was horrible, was being rushed to order. Had to wait 45 mins for my cold coffee that was mediocre at best. When I asked for a to go box for left overs and syrup for the pancakes they did not hesitate because they added it to the check. Of all the years I have been bringing groups to this location at the farmers market I'll be making suggestions for my group to NOT go here. I understand it gets busy on the weekends but really u need to charge extra for to go items? Come on management do better! read more

Attention: Manuel is amazing! Irving is a great server! I've been eating at Du-Par's since the early 70's. Without exception, their pancakes and baked goods are phenomenal. The melted butter sprinkles so nicely over the fluffily delicious pancakes. The crowd is always interesting, a good mix of old-school LA and new-school LA. Manuel was amazing. He not only meticulously kept the restaurant sparkling with great enthusiasm but also ran over to the register whenever customers were ready to pay their check. Du-Par's is lucky to have him. I'm sure Manuel's excellent work ethic will bring him much success. Irving is a great server. He anticipated my every need and exceeded expectations. I've had many great servers at Du-Par's. Irving is one of the best. I recommend Du-Par's without reservation. read more

Du-Par's was another stop on my mom's and my unofficial "Bosch tour," inspired by Michael Connelly's books--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is a true LA landmark, tucked into the Original Farmers Market. Bonus points for easy parking: you can get it validated if you buy or eat anything in the market. Once we parked, we joined the line outside Du-Par's. There were probably about 10 tables ahead of us, but the wait flew by--around 20 minutes total--and the weather was nice, so it didn't feel like a hassle at all. Inside, the vibe is classic old-school diner in the best way. The servers wear suit jackets, and the whole place feels like a time capsule of old LA. They had several monthly specials, including Valentine's Day pancakes, which was fun to see. Since Bosch is always talking about Du-Par's famous pancakes, we had to try them. We ordered a short stack (three pancakes) and also shared the chicken pot pie, which sometimes sells out. Neither disappointed. The pancakes were soft, airy, and perfectly comforting--served with syrup and just done right. My mom isn't even a pancake person, and she said they were delicious, which says a lot. The chicken pot pie had a beautifully flaky crust and was packed with plenty of chicken and veggies--super satisfying. I also had an iced coffee, which was exactly what you'd expect from a classic diner (no complaints there). Service was quick, and our server was friendly and efficient. All around, Du-Par's is a great spot--whether you're a Bosch fan, an LA history lover, or just someone looking for excellent comfort food in a timeless setting. Would happily come back. read more

Today we went to try the famous pancakes at DuPars. The service was nice, the restaurant is a little dated but the service was really good. The Famous Buttermilk Pancakes are pretty amazing they are fluffy and a few had crispy edges. They certainly were the highlight of the breakfast. The brand of turkey sausage that they use I didn't find tasty and the hash-browns were not cooked hard enough for me they were still like undone as far as I'm concerned...they were cooked but I'd like them a little more crispy...everything was a little bland as far as that goes but you know they had salt and pepper on the table which helped. I will give them another try as the pancakes were really tasty. read more

I am not a huge fan of coffee shops but Dupars is a classic place to get a snack albeit not very healthy or necessarily good for you. The pies are good enough to take to someone's house for dessert but they have become very pricy as everything has. I like it here nonetheless and it's very kitschy and a blast from the past. read more

Rested inside of the grove off 3rd and gilmore. Very eclectic diner vibe. They have you wait in line and seat you based on whose first. They have 3 chairs you can sit in while you wait but make sure you are seated in order bc otherwise people behind you will get seated before you. We had a weird experience where an older woman behind us sat next to me but closer to the "front" and she got seated before us. Super strange she didnt say a word about it. So be mindful of that bc the host doesn't really pay attention to who was really there first. And unfortunately he was very rude when confronted, basically yelled at us told us we can leave if we want to bc we weren't happy with what had happened. His behavior was super unprofessional, very disappointing. Anyway the servers turned it around bc they were incredibly attentive and hospitable. 10/10 for the service staff. Now the food: 1. Pancakes do not disappoint 100/10 absolutely a must here. The chocolate strawberry are choc chip pancakes with strawberries on top. GET THESE 2. Smores pancakes are a lot lol also delicious but very decadent. 3. Hashbrowns 10/10 perfectly crispy yet soft in center 4. Bacon 10/10 thin and crispy. Cooked well 5. Rootbeer float 10/10 Honestly everything we had was delicious. Stood up to the hype. My only qualm was really with the host bc its their job to set the tone. read more

Got here at 10:00am on a friday. Got seated at 10:45am. They took 15-20 minutes to take my order. My boyfriend and I got our food at 11:40am. I was ready to leave had it taken one more minute. The service was terrible. Time to get seated and get your food was ridiculous! I'm not coming back. This place is for tourists, not locals to socal. I drove from simi valley. Not worth the drive! Disappointed because instagram personalities said they served the best pancakes. They were just average. They don't have enough waiters or cooks. The two cooks they were had were moving fast but they need at least 2 more. read more

We were at the Farmers Market & decided to try Du-Par's for breakfast. It has a homey atmosphere and quite a large menu. Setvice was friendly & fast. I had the poached salmon eggs benedict, which I really enjoyed. Usually when salmon benedicts are offered, it is smoked salmon. It was very filling. Hubby had the corned beef hash & eggs. He liked the crispness on the outside of the hash. We'll have to come by the next time we're in town to try the pancakes. read more

Everything was top-notch, from the service to the atmosphere and food! They warmly welcome you and seat you promptly. The interior reminds me of a cozy grandmother's dining room, creating a very welcoming and comfortable ambiance. My sister and her family were visiting from Denmark and wanted to see some "Bosch" filming locations. We decided on a weekday brunch before exploring Hollywood. This was the perfect spot! They have a large menu with many classic dishes. I ordered a chicken-fried steak with hash browns and two eggs, which were cooked perfectly. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft inside - a perfect texture! Many places overcook them, but not here. The chicken-fried steak used an 8 oz USDA Prime New York Strip, a much higher quality cut than the typical cube steak used elsewhere. It was delicious, even though it was different from what I'm used to. I requested fresh salsa, and although they offered hot sauce initially, I wanted something homemade. They had the cook prepare some of their in-house salsa, which had a great balance of spice and flavor. It perfectly complemented the dish. We also ordered pancakes, and Du-Par's lived up to their reputation for big, fluffy ones! They were fantastic. I would rate Du-Par's lower if I had paid the bill, as it was quite expensive. We were treating my sister and her family, but they insisted on paying. The bill was hefty, especially considering almost $40 for a country-fried steak. I give the food, service, and atmosphere a 5/5. This is the perfect diner for hosting family and friends, especially those visiting from out of town. The prices are steep, even for this tourist area, but we would definitely return in the future. read more

My boss organized what was supposed to be a beautiful Mother's Day outing for 17 women. The plan was breakfast at Du-Par's followed by a movie, and everyone was genuinely excited. Unfortunately, the experience at Du-Par's completely changed the tone of the day. Twelve of us were seated at a table near the bakery counter, while the remaining guests in our party were placed far away in a separate booth. We politely asked if we could use the empty booth directly next to our table so our group could be closer together. The answer was a very firm "NO." We then asked to speak with a manager and were told no manager was available. We asked for a shift lead and were told the same thing -- no one was available. It was extremely frustrating because the booth remained empty while we continued trying to find a simple solution. What made the situation worse was that one of my coworkers, who speaks fluent Spanish, overheard staff members saying, "Those people think they are getting their way," followed by comments indicating they were intentionally refusing to accommodate us. At that point, the issue no longer felt like policy -- it felt personal and disrespectful. After multiple failed attempts to resolve something so minor, our group decided to leave. And leave we did. Du-Par's lost a party that would have easily spent over $1,500 because of poor customer service and unwillingness to make a reasonable accommodation. I had never been to Du-Par's before and had always heard great things. Sadly, after this experience, I'll be removing it from my bucket list. Great food may bring people in, but terrible customer service sends them right back out the door. read more

Born and raised in LA and this is my first time at Du-Pars. I actually came to try their famous pancakes. Happy to say it didn't disappoint. What really stands out to me compared to all the other pancakes at other diners is how fluffy and buttery the pancakes are. I tried to full stack but couldn't even put a dent it in it. So I'd go with the short stack! Is the best diner pancake? I'd say it's up there...top 5 for sure. Other places that stand out are cafe telegrams and Russell's The service was good seeing that there were only 2 wait staff. It's definitely a no frills diner which I can appreciate read more

So nice to be back for breakfast at Du-Par's. We've been sorely missing the experience since they closed their Studio City location, and it's rare that we get to the Farmer's Market early enough for breakfast -- but yesterday we did, and boy were we glad about it. The restaurant maintains its mid-century Los Angeles charm with spruced up, retro coffee shop decor in dark reds and browns that create a warm and comforting atmosphere. Service is friendly, though they seemed a tad understaffed and our poor waiter was being run a bit ragged tending to so many tables with just one busboy to help. They did the best they could, but management should try to have a few more people on the floor. My wife ordered the French Toast, her favorite. Drizzled with melted butter and dusted with powdered sugar, this is one of the best versions of this morning stalwart in the city. I opted for their signature Buttermilk Pancakes, and was thrilled to find they have maintained their quality through all the changes. These hotcakes came out scorching hot, which is great -- they're crispy at the edges, fluffy in the center, and packed with all the right morning flavors. Melted butter and maple syrup slowly seep into the cakes, and they become sweet and savory through and through. I added a side of bacon, which was crisp without being petrified, so the full flavor was there to be enjoyed. I don't know that our schedule will allow us to come in any more often, but it's nice to know that when we do we'll find great food and a familiar experience just like we remember. read more

Since these are called the best pancakes in the USA I had to try. Didn't disappoint at all. Berry infused with more on top ... 3 cakes was more than plenty! Friendly service too. The milkshakes were to low light. Very thin and not much for the high prices charged here. Overall, it's not cheap to eat here but these cakes are good to try once in life. YOLO read more

My first time at Du-par's, I decided to try their homemade "favorite" (their word, not mine) the chicken pot pie. It looked enormous at first glance, but when you dig into it, the dish is shallow so nothing I couldn't handle. I'm not sure why this is a favorite amongst anyone since there's more flavor in a frozen, Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie than what I was served. It's okay and nothing to write home about - just like their service. read more
