Nothing could have been better about this past Cornfest weekend!

We had a packed dining room at The Lincoln Inn, big catering orders, and catered for the VIP tent on Saturday evening. We got to interact with many townies and visitors to Dekalb and it warms our hearts knowing we were able to provide all of you with an exceptional hospitality experience this weekend.
If you see any of our staff while you dine with us give them a high five because they poured hundreds of coffees, wrapped breakfast burritos, and changed out a record number of chaffing dishes.
We are grateful for them and you💕

Last weekend, Anthony and Johnathan McMahon contributed their time and talent in support of CASA DeKalb County, Inc.. Anthony and Johnathan both work in the kitchen at Faranda’s and Lincoln Inn. They made the Faranda’s’ family Braciole for the 50 Men Who Cook fundraiser! This event raises money for CASA, who advocates for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. We are proud of our chefs for creating such a delicious dish to serve for all those who support a wonderful organization in Dekalb.
And a special thanks to our honorary chef, Shadow!

We recently had the pleasure of catering a BBQ for a birthday party. As part of celebration, Faranda’s Catering provided a variety of Cold Appetizers and Salads as well as Grilled Chicken and Hamburgers. The weather was beautiful and the local guests and host made the event such an enjoyable experience.
If you have a birthday party, family reunion, or company picnic coming up we would love to take the worry of food off of your plate and treat you and your guests to a relaxing summer BBQ.
Call us ( 815) 981-3304 or visit our website to schedule your BBQ before summer ends!

Family has always been at the heart of everything we do. ❤️ What began years ago as the Lincoln Inn Restaurant has continued to grow alongside the DeKalb community into what is now Faranda’s Banquet Center, Lincoln Inn at Faranda’s, and our catering services all under one roof.

We’re incredibly grateful for the support from DeKalb and the surrounding communities throughout the years. Being able to continue serving families, friends, and local events means so much to us.
