Farren's Pub & Eatery

Got the Chipotle Bison burger. Cooked perfectly and one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Freshly prepared even at 3pm (you can see the cooks make behind the bar)

Beers on tap are old world German and Czech and went well with the food. Some of the better beer I have had, and I'm not really a big beer drinker

The burgers are indeed quite good!  We had a green chile cheese burger and a mushroom Swiss cheese burger.   The Saturday night wait is a little tough, but 20 minutes later, we were seated.  Lots to choose from on the menu.. burgers, sandwiches, salads. Most importantly, the fries are excellent, and the onion rings are very good  the coating is light and stays with the onion ring when you bite into it!

I've been to Farren's twice - once in my freshman year, and again in my final year at the U of I.  I'm very sad that I haven't been more.  Farren's is a hidden gem with friendly staff, a lively atmosphere, and probably the best burgers in Champaign-Urbana.  I've got a weak spot for places that serve great food WITHOUT an attitude.
