| - A 24 hour diner that serves good food??? Not totally unexpected in Vegas, but seriously... the food here was pretty damn good!
At 4 AM and at just about any time of day, I'm always a sucker for a good chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken with gravy. With a couple over easy eggs, this is food for the soul.
But the clear winner of breakfast was NOT my tasty country fried steak... rather it was my companion's Du Par's French Toast made with homestyle thick white bread. Seriously thick, seriously sweet, seriously good stuff.
We ordered up a slice of banana cream pie, which had all the great making of a homemade pie... fresh bananas, delicious, and a perfect way to end the meal....
Until we found out they had just finished their first batch of donuts for the morning made fresh from the kitchen. So we got donuts. Went to the airport. And fell asleep for our ride back home.
An excellent ending to Vegas after a long night of fun!
Verdict: If you're in the area and looking for some good quality food, hit up Du-Par's. That old time diner feel mixed with fresh homemade food, you'll leave with a happy stomach.
Bonus: Service was spectacularly down to earth and nice. Even while the rude guests behind me called the waiter loudly by "boy" demanding service, he served up service with a smile and played along best he could. Our waiter constantly checked to let us know when the fresh donuts were ready... an extra effort that really made you feel wanted, even at 4 AM in the morning.
