    Meh Chicken Pot Pie
    Melinda Q.

    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.

    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.

    Food was homemade quality! Taste like your mom made it, made with love. Upon arrival the line seemed endless, i thought I was going to be in line forever BUT to my surprise the line moved quick! Don't let the long line scare you off, the warm and buttery pancakes are so worth it! my best advice: keep it simple, no toppings on pancakes and omelette are the way to go.

    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

    Buttermilk Hot Cakes | Short Stack
    David L.

    One of my favorite brunch spots in SoCal. American comfort food in a genuinely nostalgic diner. Hard to beat their golden fried chicken breast smothered with house made rich and creamy country gravy. And of course you got to get a stack of their famous buttermilk hotcakes. I m salivating just typing this review. Only area that can be improved is service can be a little friendlier.

    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.

    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.

    Old school cafe at the Farmers Market. We stopped in here because we wanted to dine inside rather than outside. I was only wanting to try the pie and my son ordered a burger and fries. Looking around, I can see lots of families and it looks like a place that locals come to. It's not a large location but very homey. The service was good. The pie is actually really small! But still good. Parking in the Farmers Market area is decent.

    Apple pie. Okay. Skip banana cream pie though
    Daniel B.

    The absolute rudest customer service I have ever dealt with in weeks ! My order was ready and they refused to hand it to me after waiting over 20 minutes ! Instead I had to wait in the back into it came to me! This place deserves its failure like the studio city location.

    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.

    Country Steak
    Carl G.

    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!

    In my attempt to revisit older establishments, friends and I went in on a Sunday to get some pancakes. Oddly enough, I come here often but have not gotten the pancakes because I already knew them to be good. I retried them again, and I was wrong. They were excellent! They were better than I remembered: soft, velvety, moist and airy through out. I have once again been schooled. Our server was friendly and charming. Spoke a bit of French to me and I got to practice my French by speaking back. Second story- I am in charge of doing the office parties and one of my coworkers requested pies and not a cake for his birthday. Went to Dupar's to get one of their famous pies which were available to purchase in their outdoor counter. Pies we ordered (berries) were so good!

    Is this restaurant still open for business or did it shut down?

    Can I order single slices of pie or pastries without dining in?

    Yes, but watch out! Slices are about 1/3 smaller than they used to be. Was very surprised to discover that today. Waiter tried to be helpful. Not his fault. Same price for their otherwise excellent pie, but much smaller pieces.

    Do the serve breakfast all day or is there a time lunch starts?

    Breakfast is served all day

    Does the location have parking?

    Yes, just don't forget to get it validated at the register! Pancakes are Fantastic!

    Any gluten free options?

    Du-Par's isn't a gluten free, organic, free range, type of place. The best menu item is the pancakes. Everything else is B- unless you order pie or the French toast. So unless you're in the mood for a coffee (that's gluten free, right?) with several… Read more

    Why were Studio City and Encino stores Closed?

    I have no idea and I'm still very sad about that. The Studio City one is now a Sephoras. The one in Farmers Market, Third @ Fairfax, is still open.

    Are there any mushrooms in the chicken pot pie or the beef stew? And yes, some restaurants do include them in these dishes 😝…

    Hello Elle, I did not have the pleasure of eating dinner. I dined for breakfast. I wish you well.

    Why does our bosenberry pie have a smokey flavor? almost like it was in a smoker.

    I've never had the bosenberry pie, but sorry that he had that smokey taste.
