Ate here quite a few times during our stay downtown. Sure there are other places to eat, but got sick of over-salted buffet type, fried, or cafeteria type food. While this is diner food, it's as close to home cooking you'll get. The shrimp coctail is good sized with tangy sauce at a good price. Also, while I make the best pancakes in the world, Du-pars runs a close second because they cook them in butter. Yum city! The place can get crowded, expecially for breakfast. A small listing of bargain breakfasts or dinners are on the back page of menu. Veggie omlet with fresh veggies was very good. Fresh squeezed OJ is worth whatever the charge. The waitpeople are busy so don't expect personality or socializing during the rush, but they get the job done.
