| - My husband and I visited Dupar's a few times while we stayed in Vegas. It was convenient (right below our hotel) and cheap (reasonable prices), and the food was pretty good. We both mainly came for the shrimp cocktail; really, despite the fancy packaging, it's merely "25-30 size" shrimp in a fancy sundae glass with cocktail sauce poured over it, which I could make at home. But hey - it's 3 bucks. It would cost me over 10 dollars to make it at home, so... as far as I'm concerned, I got a bargain.
Kudos to the servers here, who often have to deal with really obnoxious, drunken asses who come in (especially late at night). My husband and I cringed one night when a huge group of ignorant, intoxicated meatheads came in and started making fun of their server's ethnicity. Seriously? The ONLY reason why I didn't get up and confront them, head-on, was because there were eight of them and, while I'm a brave lass, I'm no match for eight drunken men the size of football players. So much cred goes to that server, though. He kept his cool and didn't even flinch - totally expressionless. I hope that he got a lot of BIG tips from other customers that night.
The rhubarb pie was... interesting. That's all I'll say about that.
Really, the shrimp cocktail is what you want to come for, more than anything. And do ignore the previous review about how the shrimp wasn't "salty enough". I don't know where they hail from originally, but I'm from Maryland, which deals with a LOT of seafood every single day, and I can vouch for the fact that the shrimp cocktail here tastes exactly as it should.
Generous portions and good prices. And did I mention convenient?
We'd come again.
