This place was highly recommended to us so we had to give it a try. The burgers were amazing, had thick cut, crispy bacon. Also the house made truffle chips were spot on. Aside from the food, we had a great experience because Hannah J(Also known as Hannah #1) provided us with top-notch service. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and was absolutely hilarious. We will definitely eat here again(as long as we get Hannah #1)

LOVE. When a Champaign classic closes its doors, when a small town loses it’s matriarch, you have to wonder why. In this case you find that she’s just changed castles. With that, Madi must be the princess. Obviously. She runs the show
As someone who passes through town almost weekly, I find the restaurant scene to be impressive yet finite. We walked in, obviously underdressed, (even though they told us we were just fine), and stumbled in on a delightful menu.
The ambience immediately caught our eye as formality set the scene. Local beef burgers slathered in saturated mushrooms, sandwiches, soup, salads all adorn to the menu yet the nightly special Twisted my tits, lol I had to. The cod was a beautiful four piece fried served well with Sauvignon Blanc.
My fiancé enjoyed the massive burger with an incredible Cabernet, Napa, of course. Throughout the winding cocktail selection, throughout the food being decided upon, we met some lovely characters. Sydney and Madi were truly two of a kind. The quality conversation that these women were kind enough to bestow on us made our evening.
If you haven’t been to the new location, go. If you’ve never been, like myself, what are you waiting for? Expect to buy the bottle. Expect to be surprised. Bon appétit we shall see you next week.

Love Farren's! One of.my favorite restaurants in town and Im loving the vibes of the new Farren's at the Inman! Great atmosphere and I CRAVE the steak tacos more than anything in the world...oh and the fries!!! I know i need to expand and try other things, but these 2 things are everything good in this world to me!! And really the prices are super reasonable still in this crazy expensive world. The service is great and food (that ive tried at least) DIVINE!!

Food very good and reasonably priced. Nice sized servings. Even had good vegetarian and a few vegan options for me of hot food - not just a salad- much appreciated. Service was slow but was the restaurant was fairly busy on a Wed night. Seemed noisy - was very hard to hear companions at table - not sure if the noise just echos in there but wasn't that busy that it should have been so noisy. Waitress very well informed on food. Those who ordered a drink received a decent pour for the cost. Will be back!

It took over 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge our table and take our drink orders, and another 10 minutes to get our drinks. They do not have draft beers, as the original Farren’s was known to have an impressive rotating list. The OG Farren’s used to have the best burgers in town by far. The burgers we received tonight were overcooked, dried out, and not seasoned. Our $10 fried pickle appetizer contained about 8 small soggy pickle sticks, and came out at the same time as our dinner. Very disappointing!!!

Wonderful restaurant! The menu has a lot of options but the burgers and wings are crazy good. It's pretty and comfortable and we've never had to wait long to be seated. Edit to add: New location is really cool, beautiful building, lots of parking and food is still crazy good

A very nice place for having meals, drinks, hanging out with friends and family. This new location looks upscale than the previous one. The menus looks the same. Maybe they have more drinks options, I guess. The food is very tasty as usual. There is nothing changed for the price. That's good!!!. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very nice and comfy. This is a good restaurant!!!
Great food. Staff was overly busy so made it hard for them to be attentive.

I have been patronizing this establishment for many years, the food is spectacular, the service is over the top and I have had the pleasure of meeting the owner Carolyn personally in the restaraunt and she is just so passionate about making sure that everyone gets the best service and quality food possible I could tell from the brief interaction.. I wouldnt reccommend any other place in this area but them (no offense to the other establishments) they just won me over and I am a creature of habit..

The cheese curds' breeding was exceptionally deliciously flavorful. We ordered 2 salads and both were huge in size and we could not finish them. They were great overall. The chicken was tasty. The atmosphere was great. Service by Laura was excellent! She listened, assisted with my modifications, was attentive and even recommended a local coffee shoppe after I asked for a specific drink. I wish I took pictures, but I was so hungry and it tasted so good. Thank you.
