I've tried Du-pars for both breakfast and dinner but I think the breakfast and the desserts are the clear winners here!
Let's start with dinner shall we? I chose Du- Pars Ultimate Trio ($16.25) where you get half of a sandwich, soup or salad, a choice of French Fries , potato salad, fresh fruit or cole slaw and a dessert . I chose the Corned Beef sandwich even though I had the waiter rate the sandwich selections and the one I ordered was towards the bottom of the list along with the tuna. The tri - tip was what he suggested but I ignored him and was disappointed. My sandwich had thick tough slabs of corned beef and mustard...that's it ...no tomato ..no lettuce ....no mayo either. I personally thought I could have made one better at home. I happened to be there on Clam Chowder night (Wednesday & Fridays) so I tried that it tasted a bit too fishy for me. The potato salad was okay if you are expecting eggs, mustard etc in it you will not find it in this salad.
The Blueberry Cream Cheese pie deserves a whole paragraph dedicated to it's deliciousness! There are certain tastes that bring us back to childhood some may say Grape Hubba Bubba gum...Pez but one of mine would definitely be a blueberry cheese cake that my aunt brought over from Philly. I never thought I would ever taste a cheesecake more delicious so for most of my adult life I have shunned cheesecake till the moment I tasted Du-Pars cheese pie. It is a light pie so it doesn't feel as heavy as other cheese cakes . It took me to a place where playing Barbie dolls and reading Bop magazines were my life! That pie was euphoric!!
The breakfast is also tasty! I ordered the legendary short stack which is two hotcakes ($8.25) . I always say I'm not a pancake person but the buttery cake with a little hint of crispiness on the edges were so good! I wouldn't pass up the pancakes here it would need to be one of my main dishes. The blueberry muffins had real blueberries , the banana cream pie was heavenly!
The breakfast and dessert here is a must!!
