Attended a big banquet. Food was excellent, served buffet style. Waiters were very attentive with water and drinks.
Had a wedding rehearsal dinner here. Very professional service. Great food, very clean and nicely arranged. I would recommend this place for any special occasions.
I love your breakfast! Especially that you have choices for any diet. I just wish you still had outside dining. I can’t make it until It’s reopened. :(
Great food! Always fresh ingredients!Great service! We never leave hungry. Our favorite place for lunch for sure!
Breakfast is always the best! Very nice place, and a great staff.

Went to another business in bldg. Lincoln Restaurant had breakfast. Service was excellent .
Very nice. It was for a retirement. Food was great
First time eating at Farandas. It was delicious. Really enjoyed the buffalo wings. My husband loved the potato soup. Very friendly staff. If you want a hometown feel, with close to home cooking, this is the place to go.

Great food. Adjusted well to continue to serve customers through ever changing restrictions and expectations for public health.
Creamed soups are to die for!They do practice social distancing at all times. Staff us quite friendly. They are doing well in a time when many restaurants are closing.
Very good outdoor space with partial tenting to lessen wind. Good food and great service

First time picking up food from Farandas. Excellent food, great prices and organized staf at pickup area. How did I miss this gem all these years. I orderediordered two baked cod dinners that were awesome. 👌. Great job.
The food was excellent and the prices werent bad!
We attended the Mothers Day banquet and the entire event was excellent. My girls got to submit I love my mom because... letters, and they took them and put them in frames on our table before we got there. My wife was in tears on how beautiful it was, and just the entire experience. Food was excellent, staff VERY well mannered and VERY helpful. Thank you again for making my wifes day! Highly recommended for any event.
Food was super delicious. Friendly staff.
Bill thank you very much for everything you offer at Farandas:*From the venue (easy location, downtown)*To the table layout (all the rooms that you offer have great space)*The food was superb!!! (Everybody enjoyed the buffet)But most of all, the staff that worked on Saturday did an excellent job!!!Emailing back and forth with Jaclyn made it so easy to get everything set up.Thank you so much to Jaclyn, Val and Bill!!!
Its a nice banquet hall that can accommodate anywhere from 25-125 (or more) people. Has a bar/lounge area in front and nice restrooms.Not sure of the menu choices,but we were served bbq chicken, Italian beef and rolls, potato & coleslaw salads, fruit bowl and condiments. plus its a local in DeKalb Illinois (for me- 7 minute drive :-))
Went for my sisters graduation party. The staff was nice enough to push the whole event back 45 minutes when her team was running late. Food was good.
We recently hosted an event at Farandas. The staff was awesome to work with and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!
Great food, love sitting outside and hanging out!
Good breakfast, good people and good company
Great service
Had a slight wait as they take no reservations. Had the baked cod and baked potato. Very very good.
Very nice place to get together with family & friends. Nice employees.
Great place to have an event. Clean, fresh interior decorating. Sparkling bathrooms. Lots of space. Friendly staff.
We were there for party all the food was very good and the service was excellent
Great food
I had my wedding reception here in June. I cannot say enough about how easy they were to work with, how adaptable and accommodating they were throughout the whole process, and how helpful they were during the event to make sure everything went smoothly. All the guests absolutely raved about the food (fajita buffet and pot roast with mashed potatoes)--not your typical boring average wedding food by any means. Bill is an incredible owner and Shannon was an incredible resource and planner to work with. They accommodated our multicultural requests (my husband is Brazilian) regarding food and service, as well as our individual dietary request for children and adults alike (gluten free, low sodium, etc.). I cannot recommend Farandas enough to anyone planning a wedding (or any event, for that matter) in the DeKalb area.
Just came from a Fantastic Fish fry there tonight!!! Soups, salads, desserts....beer and wine if you want it..... It was awesome.....and they are doing it every Friday in Lent!!!
One of the best Buffet meals I have ever had..great service also..
Great venue for meetings and parties. Food catered from the Lincoln Inn and very good ! Manager is very helpful and friendly Highly recommend 🙂
Good food and nice staff
Nice spacious area and good food
Lovely atmosphere, excellent food and exceptional service
Beautiful display of great food! Staff is very friendly! Outstanding choice for Easter!
This is a nice place for a banquet or work conference. The food is good and they are very willing to qork with you on a food plan that has variety and tastes good.
Nice re-purposing of space. Roomy meeting rooms, awesome catering
This is a beautiful banquet hall. Terrific staff. Very flexible for your needs.
Very good fish menu. Get there early as they run out of food after 7:00.
Great family run restaurant!
Friendly staff, beautiful facility, great food, great experience!
Excellent food and service! Very customer oriented.
Great venue for a party or wedding. The front end staff is very nice and knowledgeable.
Nice place I would of never known it existed. Parking was not great an the outside does not do justice.
Horrible experiance. We were told when we first booked that we could get in the night before our wedding to set up. When we went back in to do another look we were told that we could not come in the night before as told origionally by an employee who no longer works there. They stated that we could book the night before but they had to talk to Bill first about what we were told from his employee origionally. After months of waiting and me calling them for updates and always getting some BS excuse from Shannon as to why they dont have the answer they went and booked another gig the night before without contacting us if we wanted to book so we can set up for our wedding. They did NOT hold up their end and they run their company horribly. I would NOT recomment this place to anyone unless you want to be screwed out of your deposit!
Good service. Solid aesthetic. Very functional.
Great place to have a function at
Nice facility. Helpful staff.
Great service! They work with you and they are not out to just get your money.
Wonderful place for big parties.
Great food, great staff. Large banquet hall.
Excellent all over.
Average food. Kind of plain and not very tasteful.
Early Christmas party fun
Avoid this place. The owner/manager was disrespectful and rude, and service was poor - watch out for the deceitful bartenders.
Great Place for Events
Nice Place
Good stuff
Beautiful
The very abundant and tasty comission, the very smiling and friendly staff, make you feel at home, moderate prices, definitely advisable
