Illinois College Town Has The Best Burger joint In The Entire State

You won't have to load up the car and head to Chicago to get your hands on this tasty burger.

You'll have to drive but not to The Windy City.

If you're based in the Rockford area like I am, you'll have to go south because it's not in the 815 either.

Far & Wide took a close look at every burger joint in America in their story called Best Burger Joint in Every U.S. State, Ranked and said we all need to make the pilgrimage to Champaign.

Far & Wide says Farren's Pub & Eatery is the top burger stand in the state.

With patties ground by a local business, this restaurant delivers on its promise of quality.

The burger has the usual suspect ingredients with blue cheese, cheddar, and mushrooms.

The must-have burger on the menu at Farren's is The Russell Burger.

The Russell is topped with sauteed mushrooms, bacon, Blue cheese sauce, and Pepperjack Cheese. Sounds good, right? One Facebook review called it "delicious."

FARREN'S CHAMPAIGN CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Most reviews reference the new Farren's location, the service and delivery, and more props for The Russell, which was called a "very tasty burger" by another reviewer.

Gas up—it's time for a road trip. Visit 117 North Walnut Street in Champaign to try the Russell Burger in person.
