Not my type. Don't get the hype… Everything was just too sweet as the name indicated but not very delicious. We got the goblet drink. It's a gigantic drink with mist, bubbles and funny gummy bears.
Went with friends on a Friday night, didn't need to wait long before we get seated. The drinks are interesting but very calorie heavy indeed.
This is definitely a spot for a younger crowd. As you can tell by the name, there's a lot of sweet products here. The specialize in giant goblet drinks, that are usually smoking from dry ice, and are very sweet. If you have a more refined drink palette, this is not really the spot for you. But try something, you may like it. The also make a lot of the drinks as non-alcoholic, so you can expect a good amount of youths here.
I will say, I really enjoyed our dinner here. My husband and I both had fried chicken and really enjoyed it. Perfectly crisp and not greasy at all.
If the cheesecake factory and dylan's candy bar had a one night stand – the sugar factory would be the result of that accidental pregnancy.
We came for a birthday celebration as a way to do something a little bit cheesy but ultimately fun and different. The sugary mixed drinks were calling our names.
We had a 7:30 pm reservation for a pretty large group, and ultimately were not seated for 20-30 minutes. When we finally got to our table they plopped down the menus that were about 30 pages long. Featuring such delicacies as a milkshake with a small cheeseburger perched atop it (WHAT?!?!?!).
First small saving grace, they did have a small gluten free menu – I was relieved to see my options parsed down from 35 pages to one sheet – front and back.
I kept it simple with a caesar salad with chicken, and a side of potatoes. They do have gluten free pastas and pizzas for the more adventurous.
When the salad came out it was so sad, completely dressingless, with mostly lettuce, a touch of cheese and a few small cubes of chicken. The potatoes also looked like they had breadcrumbs on them which would make the decidedly not gluten-free.
After about 20 minutes we were able to flag down a server (not even our own) to check on the potatoes (which were luckily fine but unluckily not delicious) and get me some dressing. Either they were confused or the only gluten free salad dressing was an italian dressing (not caesar) because that's what I got. Very disappointing for an 18 dollar salad.
Another small shining pro was that yes, yes the goblet does make for a fun experience and some delightful photos especially for the birthday girl. What weird science, however, causes it to fog up and then continue to bubble throughout the dinner?
Finally, their biggest saving grace might be their overpriced bulk candy, but when some co-workers came here to get me a bag for a special occasion the cashier had no idea what candies were gluten-free when asked.
so MAYBE come for just the candy, MAYBE come for just the drinks or MAYBE don't?
Thank goodness the Sugar Factory gets so much cash money from all of the celebs that are allegedly coming in because otherwise I can't imagine what else would keep it afloat.
Don't feel like we are belonging to this place once we had all our dishes on the table – huge ice cream plate, peanut butter martini, lollipop liquor drinks…everything was gigantic and felt like for a large group to share rather than a small group of friends. Desserts were sweet to death…
The place was also extremely noisy and lack of relaxed feeling. When I stayed in, I simply felt kind of stressful and wanna step out to get some fresh air at least.
Won't be back, sorry but this was not my style.
Came here for my friend's birthday dinner. Everything was alright, nothing really special about the food. The portions are pretty big though. There were five girls and we ordered a sample appetizer platter, fries, a burger, pasta, two sides of mash potatoes, and a rainbow donut. We shared the dishes among us and we could not finish everything. Like I said earlier, the food was mediocre, nothing special. However, I thought it was funny and I was confused as to why they brought out the desserts before all our food… When we wanted desserts at the end.. all the ice cream that came with the donut melted already and we could not even eat it. Nonetheless, each of us ordered a goblet and that was probably the best part of our meal, haha! I ordered the White Gummi and it was pretty good. It was not super duper sweet, but the gummy worms were my favorite parts 😀 Would I come back again? Yes, probably for a friend's birthday or something… since the goblet is worth it 😉 But for the food, I don't really care much for it.
Let's get one thing out of the way first. I know that this place is a tourist trap. Only a sucker would easily fall to the brand advertising that this place is known for. I mean for goodness sake they have pictures of different celebrities sucking a lollipop. How cheesy is that? Regardless I found my experience here quite enjoyable. In fact it was so enjoyable I would have no problem visiting it again for special occasions. Lastly I would also like to point out that I came to this restaurant during the day which means that the clientele were families looking for a good time and not drunk 20-something years old looking to party like a rock star. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it as much as I did.
So I'm going to start with the famous goblet bowls they serve. After all when in Rome…well, whatever it applies in this situation. Anyways we were feeling pretty passionate that day so we decided to go ahead with the Passion Punch and Lollipop Passion goblet bowls. These 60 oz. signature drinks are an alcoholic and child's dreams come true. Seriously is it possible that the two aspects of my life would be fulfilled. This drink is a wonderful concoction of sweet candy goodness, but then the effervescent aroma of the alcohol is present to remind me that I'm all grown up. Not to mention that the dry ice in the bowl produces an ethereal smoke show that is an instant-upload-to-Instagram worthy video. Don't believe me? Then please refer to the accompanying video that I had posted here.
Now in my opinion the drinks are certainly not the only reason to come by this establishment. The food served during my visit was quite delicious. I opted for the steak classique frites. A perfectly cooked steak served with signature butter on a bed of French fries and side salad. For extra goodness I went with a side of onion rings because well…who doesn't love onion rings? Completely rhetorical question by the way. Anyways the steak was cooked nicely, the frites were not soggy and the onion rings were large and scrumptious. No complaints on my part here.
Finally for dessert I opted for the red velvet cake with its vanilla ice cream and white chocolate curls all drizzled with a tangy raspberry sauce. I know it sounds cliché but the dish was certainly the cherry on top of the whole meal. Or in this case it was the cherry on top of the factory of sugar. Haha see what just happened there? No? Well never mind then. Anyways long story short give this place a try. Take it for what it is. Have a great time with friends or family; pay an exorbitant amount of money, but still walk away satisfied and happy. At least that's what happened in my case.
I went into the Sugar factory with an open mind.
My daughter had been dreaming of this place for over a year, begging me to take her.
My daughter graduated middle school and so my wife and I surprised her with a trip to the sugar factory.
My wife made 730 reservations, there was no traffic from Central NJ and I scored parking (metered) around the corner we arrived at the restaurant by 6pm. The hostess accomodated our early arrival and quickly seated us upstairs. Immediately I was hit with a brick wall of heat.
It had to be 85 degrees upstairs, I asked several times about the ac and basically all of the staff said it was the way it is…..grrrr srrike 1
Our waitress introduced herself, and took her time explaining the menu and answering questions.
By the way, the non alcoholic drink which I posted a picture of costs $30, $40 with liquor…..ummm ok
Special occasion
We placed our dinner order shortly after……45 minutes later no food had arrived. Strike 2
Mind you 2 tables next to me finshed their meals and were paying the bill before I received my meal….they were seated 10 minutes after me.
I asked my waitress about the wait a few times and she had no answer, she sent a manager over who said it was kitchen issues
When I did receive the meal, the turkey club looked and tasted outstanding. The fettuccine alfredo was a sleeper and according to my daughter it was great.
I made the mistake…yes I know give me crap because I deserve it…..ordered a bone in rib eye….. $48
Let me explain, I low carb and there really werent many options not feeling like a salad. Well the steak came medium close to well (ordered medium) no bone (note bone IN rib eye) and the portion was fair at best.
I had enough, I rarely complain but I was fit to be tied and needed to voice my displeasure…strike 3
Respectfully, I spoke to that same manager who again said the kitchen has issues. I asked him about the steak to which you guessed it…..the kitchen has issues.
Basically the manager had given up, offered us dessert. I had enough at that point, he picked up the $30 drink and gave a $12 credit for the steak snafu.
All in all it was a tough experience, the most important thing is that my daughter enjoyed herself.
The 2 stars is for the creativity of the drink creations and making my daughter happy.
Myself, my mom, my cousin and some friends went to the Sugar Factory one particular year to celebrate my birthday….
Let me first start off by saying that the Sugar Factory was very accommodating when it came to our reservations. I had to change the number of persons in my group reservation several times. I was able to call over the phone and they handled the situation with professionalism and ease. Although the person that takes the reservations initially mentioned that the restaurant was already booked to capacity, they made sure that my final group of 6 were all able to attend.
The Sugar Factory does not seat anyone in the group until everyone is present. Because we had to wait for one friend, we were not seated until closer to 9pm. However, we were put in a cute seating area once we had all arrived.
The server was so cool, the food (burger and fries) was ok but the drinks were fantastic!! This eatery has some of the most delicious cocktails that tasted like different candy types of flavored candies. I had a green Jolly Rancher/Blow Pop flavored type of cocktail with candy around the rim…yummy!
The decor is playful, yet elegant in a childlike sort of way which was fun to view!! They have a candy shop in the front of the place before you head inside to eat. We liked seeing both "old-school" and new candy that was available for purchase. I especially enjoyed when they sang "Happy Birthday" to me and they brought out a slice of heavenly tasting Red Velvet Cake with lighted sparks flying out of the candle-like contraption! I really has a nice time and it is was a.special experience that I will never forget…
