My review of Du-pars pancakes

I had them a couple of years ago with the LVA coupon. They certainly are large. I'm used to IHOPs silver dollar pancakes. These things are dinner dish sized, and I believe I got three of them.
I was less than impressed with the service. I asked for extra butter and the waitress said it comes with plenty, not to worry. I ordered a medium orange juice that was pretty expensive and a glass of water.
She comes with the pancakes, no extra butter and water only. I remind her I ordered an OJ and she tells me it will be up in a couple of minutes. Evidently thye hand squeeze it. I ask about the extra butter and it appears that I offended her mother or something, the look she gives me. I had shown her the coupon so I imagine she thought she would be getting 15% of nothing as a tip. Its crowded, but there are empty tables and its not rush hour or anything. She brings me a few packs of butter and then my OJ, which they serve at room temperature. I like mine cold so I ask for some ice. She took more than her time getting it.
I'm not the biggest pancake fan, but they were good and very very filling. With the OJ and her tip, it cost me a little over $8. Almost what a downtown buffet would run.
I'm in no hurry to go back., but I did like the look of the room.

that does sound like some crappy service. it happens too often if you are a solo diner, especially with a coupon. they don't want to be bothered. if you don't bring a party of six, you deserve to starve to death I guess. a professional would never do that to a solo diner. tip accordingly.
