    First time coming here. People are always recommending this place so I decided to go check it out. Quiet place. No wait time. The waitress was very kind! I came during a weekday so I didn't expect there to be a problem finding parking (it's in the same plaza as Market Basket and the lot is usually packed). I came with my little sister. She ordered from the kids menu, which didn't have a big variety like big diners would but it was ok for us- she just wanted pancakes anyways. I ordered 3 eggs over middle, with home fries, white bread, and bacon! The bacon wasn't dripping in oil and was full of flavor. It's true what other reviews says, the home fries are amazing! We both left full and satisfied. Only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because they only accept cash only! I had to go find an ATM (I don't usually carry cash with me).

    Came here for breakfast and instantly regretted it after walking through the door. I was the only person besides staff in the place so that should have told me something right off the bat lol! I saw them taking the home fries out of a pre-made bag..and they tasted like it. Just low quality food. Staff are friendly and food came decently quick. Won't be back.

    We are always on the hunt for new and interesting places for breakfast and were hopeful that Fari's would prove to be a new regular spot for us. Sadly, we won't be returning. When we entered, the fact that there were only three tables of people on a Sunday morning at 10:30ish should have been a first sign. The kids meals are a joke. My son ordered a waffle. What arrived at the table was an Eggo Waffle toasted and barely warm. My entire family and myself simply stared in awe that they were actually serving something other than a freshly-made waffle. I ordered the Texas-style French toast. What arrived was regularly-sliced bread. I actually looked it up to ensure I didn't have mis-aligned expectations and this is how Texas toast is defined: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_toast. Theirs is not even close!! With that said, it was tasty and prepared well. I also loved their sausage. I'll also give them kudos for the omelette that my wife ordered, but for those like us who only want to eat fresh fruit and vegetables, your choices are limited. The omelette only had three veggie choices of fresh options. Everything else was frozen, which we avoid whenever possible. The fruit, too, was all frozen except for the bananas. They're a local restaurant and should be buying fresh fruits and veggies. Overall, it was a very disappointing dining experience.

    Great diner food. My dad took me here when I came home for thanksgiving break. I still thought this was the old Brigham's. Fari's is much better. It's clean, the food is great and the staff is fantastic. We went on Saturday around 12 and it wasn't crowded at all. It was a nice change from all the other busy diners around town.

    I have always been a huge fan of Crack'd- I love their breakfast burritos and hash browns so very…read moremuch. However, the team of people that work there are truly the most amazing people. When we were in the process of losing our soul mate of a dog to lung cancer they would go above and beyond for our random orders and would always try to bring a smile to our face when we would pick it up. She wouldn't eat so we would call & ask for plain unseasoned grilled chicken or just bacon or whatever it was they always helped us out. Her last meal was bacon on the beach (her favorite place). Thank you for the amazing service.

    Ya know, I once navigated to this place on accident before? Yeah. Still not sure what my GPS was…read moredoing that day. Because I normally go to the one in Salem. But on this day, I thought to myself, "Self, I really hate making that busy-as-hell left turn on South Broadway in Salem. What if we took a journey to the Andover location instead?" And so it was. I enter this cozy little restaurant carefully tucked against a slightly submerged parking garage. Although, I probably shouldn't say "little" because the interior was noticeably larger than its Salem counterpart. It's also noisy AF in there when it gets busier than a New York subway. So naturally, I ordered my usual to-go (a Country Classic with an extra egg and hashbrowns for those who don't know). Only it wasn't *quite* ready on time. Which, to be fair, is kind of a minor point. Thing is, they have to shout your name whenever your order is finally ready. This in and of itself can prove to be quite the challenge when bellowing atop the already roaring crowd of customers impeding the otherwise accessible pickup shelves. I'll do my best to describe the interior since I wasn't really able to take pictures. But try to imagine an L-shaped dining area with the longest part hosting a row of countertop seats facing the windows. Beyond that sits a rather modest dining area with a few more tables. Next to that sits the gender neutral restrooms. It's strange and cramp, particularly when the place is packed tighter than a sardine can. Sufficed to say, I'm not much a fan of the interior design here. Being the partial recluse that I am, I offer the following best practice for a place so riotous: mobile order that shiz, cuh! Seriously. I had to put in my noise cancelling earbuds to appease my misophonia. The good news is....the food is still awesome. The eggs? Creamier than crème fraîche. Taters? Eh, I don't why...but these seemed way more seasoned the very first time I tried them. Fortunately, they actually pair rather well with their refined version of ketchup. The bacon? Well...let's just say I wish it were served well done. Not sure if I'm able to request that. But I'll scope out my options next time and get back to you all. That's it though. Nice place, WAY easier to get to than its Salem counterpart, but a bit too cramp and noisy for my taste which means....I'll likely ever dine in here. It's all good though, because I'm still giving Crack'd Kitchen & Coffee in Andover 4 Country Classics with all the fixins out of 5.

Our picks for…read morethis first trip were 1) the Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes with Walnuts and a side of turkey bacon and 2) Jim's Backyard Scramble. We would absolutely get both again. The pancakes were lovely and thick and the option to add walnuts added a great texture. There were also at least ten specials posted (not on menu) and the chorizo eggs benny is going to be my pick next time (hoping it is still there!). I also had a green tea with my meal which was nice. The menu is classic but with a few twists. Definitely count on some nice looking specials not on the menu, too. There is parking right out front but we grabbed a space on the other side of the street. If you do that not that there seem to be both one and two hour spaces so be sure to pick the right one. Service is fast and super friendly and helpful. You can pay with cash or Venmo or Cash App and they have ATM atm inside if you need it. Seating is mostly booths and comfortable and well maintained. You do need to get the code for the bathroom but it is easy and also very well maintained. The whole place has a warm neighborhood feel and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who keep coming back.
