Faros Restaurant & Cocktails is a beloved traditional American eatery nestled in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Patrons repeatedly rave about the expansive menu that traverses satisfying breakfasts to hearty dinners. Jessica Maldonado highlights the cheese soup as a must-try, noting its rich flavor and perfectly generous portion sizes. Their fresh fruit offerings and classic breakfast dishes, such as the Chopped Steak & Eggs, receive unanimous applause for quality and taste. The atmosphere feels inviting and familial, with friendly staff always ready to cater to diners' needs. As noted by Havilah Stone, the salad bar is a showstopper, complemented by favorites like the loaded baked potato soup. Salvatore Piazza recounts his appreciation for the unique twist on mozzarella sticks, served in a wonton wrapper, and perfectly executed omelets. Eager diners can enjoy a delightful experience without breaking the bank. Even on busy nights, as Kelly Hendrix points out, the wait is minimal, and the food is served with care. From classic comfort foods to inventive appetizers, Faros is a staple where community and culinary delights come together, making it a must-visit for both locals and travelers alike.

This is a family favorite spot. The cheese soup is a recipe I want!! Great staff good portions decent price. The owner is always there to make sure everything is right. We love it and will support this city favorite!! Update on the picks. One is the meat lovers skillet with over easy eggs. The soup is cheese soup with crackers. The wings are huge!!! 10 for 12 or 14 for 17. Update: still awesome!! Only bad thing I feel is that they charge about 2 to use a debit card. But still delicious

Update: March 2025... We wanted breakfast on our way to points West and stopped at Farro's. We had lunch here before (see review below) and we were again, not disappointed. We started with their mozzarella sticks (yes for breakfast) and they are fantastic. They are not breaded, but are wrapped in a wonton type wrapper. We both had omelets with baby red potatoes and they are incredible. You need to stop here when you are in the area! -------------------------------------------------- Original Review..... What a wonderful dining experience we had last night. The atmosphere is pleasant with many locals in for a bite to eat. Our server was very helpful in describing the specials and checked in on us just the right amount of times. I started with a Tomatoe Bisque which was fabulous. I followed that up with the Montery Jack Lime Chicken with Baby Red Potatoes. Yummy! The chicken breast was huge and cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. I highly recommend you put this on your list of places to go.

The pasta salad is so good!!!!! The soup was hot and tasty even for the end of the day. The loaded baked potato soup was a favorite. The salad bar is filled with great options. Would love to dip by again.

They were very busy but it was still only about a five minute wait to get in on a Friday night. The food was good. This is the first time EVER that I got a french dip and the au jus wasn't slopped out of the bowl and already soaked into the bread. 5 stars for that alone. And free tapioca... who does that? Under 20 for two of us. It helped that my husband didn't drink... that's usually what bankrupts us. Don't worry he doesn't read my reviews...

Great breakfast spot. I had one of their skillets, it was enough for two meals and it was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Food is great. Price is great. Service is great. Place looks nice. Portions are big enough to take some home if you want. What else could you want.

This was a fine breakfast experience. The food was solid and we’ll be returning. Service was spot on. Only niggle was my toast was cold and wouldn’t melt butter. Coffee was good as well.
