From the inside looking out.
Roy R. P.

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.

Dine al fresco too. But I loved the old school interior with the deep red vinyl booths.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Crabcake Benedict
Marleny O.

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.

The glasses people!! So nice and refreshing
Michelle L.

A MUST GO!! Delicious food, great service, kitchen feel and the historic 1930s atmosphere. I want to give you food pics but we ate everything! My favorite was the crab cake eggs Benedict. My nieces shared the Nutella pancakes and were very happy people. Their sausages are cooked in such a way they maximize the searing flavor and Woa boy does it deliver! Highly recommended and can't wait to go back.

Famous pancakes
Bridgette R.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ask the Community - Du-Par's Restaurant

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

It was open last time I was there, about a month ago

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… 

Is the patio dog friendly?

This is in the farmer's market and completely open! Everyone brings their dogs

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.

Best tasting pies?

Yes they are! You cannot go wrong with getting a pie from Du-Par's.

My husband has type 1 diabetes so we very rarely eat at Italian ristorantes. Chef Tara has helped us rediscover a new world of flavor without negative impacts on my husband's blood sugar and cholesterol. (Thanks for the variety of non-dairy cheeses!!) Tip for first-timers: go when you can have the brunch or the lunch menu. Then you'll have so many options that you'll have to return! Round 1 Polpettine (meatballs) are made from lentils and texture similar to the real ones; lovely marinara sauce and ground macadamia nut instead of parmesan. Complement this with the citrus notes that highlight the sauteed swiss chard with earthy Italian butter / gigante beans. Round 2 The same beans are in the Greek goddess salad: rich with tomatoes, kalamata olives, and fresh red onions. This was a visually stunning and paired well with the Sicilian almond 'tuna' melt. The tuna is by far the most imaginative. Again, Chef Tara and the back of the house nailed the texture and I loved the hints of crunchy celery. The capers injected tiny bursts of salt and tartness. The only moderation I'd consider is slightly crisping / toasting the sandwich bread -- but the tuna melt sando is great as it is.

Across our family, we ordered a spicy chicken sandwich, a Smashburger, grilled cheese, a hotdog, regular fries, cheese, fries, a birthday shake, fried pickles, and a fountain cream soda. The kids like their hotdog and grilled cheese. They looked good. The birthday cake milkshake was good. The sandwich and the Smashburger were really good. My husband really liked the fried pickles.

The staff deserves a special shout-out because they're always so friendly and welcoming.
