Farrens at The Inman - Champaign (IL)

5 /5 Lokman: Owner was amazin! Staff were amazing! Atmosphere was warm and welcoming! Food was good, l think, ground beef needs more quality taste wise, it needs some improvement, as we wanted to try cheeseburgers at dinning restaurant, instead of a fast food place. But I definitely recommend this place!

4 /5 P (K): 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. Thats good!!!. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very nice and comfy. This is a good restaurant!!!

3 /5 Katie Sheridan: Gorgeous restaurant inside! A few negatives were that the kids menu didnt offer a burger and its a burger place. My green chili burger was okay. Probably because of the high quality low fat beef it was dry. Our total bill for a kids meal, 6 inch Italian beef and fries, burger and fries, and cheese curds appetizer was about $75.

5 /5 Chicago Local: 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.

3 /5 L M: New location is wonderful! Interior is beautiful, a welcome change from the old Maria. Gorgeous bar and different layout, little nooks and crannies. Updated drink menu wonderful and service is usually good with attentive servers. Lost a bit of the friendly, local vibe so hopefully their teams starts to warm up more. Food flavors fall flat. Not what it used to be, which is hard to say - lacks flavor and freshness. Apps were average at best and the beef was ok, lacking flavor. Crabcakes are a nice smaller bite size but breading really dark and heavy oil taste. There was a holiday party as well that friends were at and they came over to say the food is not what it once was. Hope they can get it turned around! Location is gorgeous, fun and the staff really can be awesome.
