| - If pancakes are your thang, then no place that you will ever go to will compare to the magnificence that is known as Du-pars.
This little gem started in L.A. in the 1930s, and has a few locations throughout that area. They expanded to Downtown Las Vegas over a decade ago, and recently created this outpost on the northwest side of town a couple of years ago. While the downtown LV restaurant had recently closed down, tourists and locals alike can still have the opportunity to try these one of a kind flapjacks.
What makes the Du-Pars pancakes so much more different and better than it's competitors? It's very hard to put into words. It's simply the perfect pancake in terms of its flavor, and texture. They are fluffy and moist on the inside, with moist being the key word here. There is a slight crisp to the outside as well, which doesn't exist in other pancakes. The pancake is not too sweet, and the flavor is complex. It's truly a work of art. What I also like is that it is presented with melted butter, which also elevates the flavor of the pancake.
(Quick tip: ask for the boysenberry syrup to go with your pancakes, you won't regret it.)
While you are here, grab a slice of pie, they are very well prepared. I would choose Dupars pies' over Marie Callenders any day of the week, and to be quite real with you, it's hard getting a decent pie in this town.
This place is also open 24/7, and while I do come in at weird times to this place (between night and morning, I'm not too sure what that's called), the service every time has been friendly and helpful.
I know that this place gets dogged on their other menu items. I have not tried anything besides the pancakes and pies, so I cannot comment on any of their other offerings. But if you want the best pancakes you'll ever have in your life, and some outstanding pies, then Du-Pars is the spot for you.
