| - I've lived in Champaign for the past few years, but I may as well have been living under a rock since I hadn't ever tried Farren's. I mean, WOW, this place is good! I'm always a bit skeptical of places that are really hyped up by people as they can sometime fall short of expectations, but that's not the case with Farren's.
It's not a big or fancy place, it's kind of a hole in the wall in all honesty but that's what I like best about it. We sat at the bar and were immediately welcomed by their staff. In fact, throughout the night multiple staff checked in on us, not just our primary server.
They have quite the beer selection (mostly bottles/cans) and have a full bar as well. We got the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer (fantastic) and I got The Spicoli burger, which has onions, mushrooms, cheese, and bacon. It was such a good burger. It had the perfect charbroiled taste and was perhaps the best burger I've had in C-U.
Farren's definitely lived up to the hype. Simply put, it's a great place to eat. No frills, but great food. I'll make sure to be back soon.
