| - Another restaurant in my "Search For New Places" dining adventures, Du-Par's is an excellent little coffee shop/cafe.
Their pancakes are touted as "The Best in the Country", by Esquire Magazine, so with hype like that, you somewhat feel obligated to check them out. I'm not a big breakfast person. I enjoy the food choices, but I tend to eat later in the day. But this was a great breakfast. The pancakes were huge, sweet, and tasty. I definitely put a huge dent in them during my meal.
The missus and I also tried their chicken friend steak, and that was a well done CFS. The side eggs were also surprisingly good. I mean, eggs are eggs. You can put hot sauce on them, mix a few ingredients, etc., but plain eggs? There's only so much. These eggs, however, were very flavorful and fluffy. The only downside was that I thought the entree was a little more pricey than the majority of selections presented. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but for the price, I somewhat hoped for a little more from it. Overall pricing, however, is doable.
Service was also nice. I really miss the old coffee house from Binion's as that was one of "our" places, but this has the same sort of vibe to it, and same attentive, courteous care throughout the meal.
As a 24-hour place, I will definitely find my way there again, and have to see what other dining options that they have available. The first impression definitely left me with a happy stomach.
