Went here with my friend and her son after the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. We split a milkshake and a non-alcoholic fish bowl. We probably only needed one. They were huge!! Our server was very kind and he took good care of us. The place is very cute inside. Well decorated and clean. We had a great time.

Wow, where to even start? Came here for dinner tonight for a friend's birthday. There is no fun environment. The restaurant is empty all the drinks. All of everything you see advertised it's not happening. The restaurant is dirty. The food is substandard and overpriced. They were out of the ducks that come with the rainbow sliders. The candy area was closed down. How can you be sugar factory and not have the candy store open for the kids? Also, the bathroom doors were completely disgusting. This place will not be around in a few months

This place lives it's name. It's all sugar all the time. We took the girls there as an experience day downtown. The cake and milkshake made their eyes light up, and then later on made their stomachs ache. The perfect outcome for a day based around sugar. I will note, the prices are definitely on the higher side. I feel like they're probably playing on people like us who go for the experience of it.

Nice and fancy restaurant part of the chain in Vegas, very wide menu with many options, sweet hot cocoa drinks and shakes, and pretty good rainbow (bun) colored sliders. Service was also excellent. In the Campus Martius One building which is also very nice. Check it out!

Where do I begin? Came here to celebrate my partners birthday. She had a great time which is all that matters, but It was a very mixed experience for myself. Small delay in getting our table, though it was a busy night and we were ten minutes late for our reservation. Totally on us, very forgivable. When seated we were put in a busy travel corridor when much more accommodating or confortable tables were available. My seat was also uneven and wobbled alot. This speaks to much of the restaurant itself, it's all very well polished on the surface but it can only hide its age and wear so much. Broken, half working, half legible neon signs that probably once said cute things. Broken tv monitors that probably once held displays of beautiful landscapes, wobbly chairs and tables. They have a "candy store" but its charm is marred from the dozens of empty shelves and inventory boxes not put away, detracting from any would be ambiance. We started with one of their hawaiian punch "famous goblets", essentially a fishbowl cocktail for two or more to share. Rather pricey at 46 dollars. But the presentation was mostly nice. The dry ice is always a cool effect but upon integration bubbled over and our server had to use multiple napkins to wipe it up for us and We werent given our collectible rubber duckie garnishment either. They also have so much ice you cant even get to the last third of your drink without a fight, and a flimsy straw is your only weapon. It was ok, but ive had much better for less without all the mess. Again, my partner got tipsy and enjoyed herself. So, all good. At that price I let her nurse it and just sipped my water since I was driving anyways. It was our only drink. For food we ordered a flight of rainbow sliders. It's five sliders with a rainbow array of colored buns. They are supposed to include onions, cheese, and signature sauce. They arrived after 40 minutes overdone, lacking any "signature sauce" (they never define in the menu what it is), some without cheese and very few if any onions. The "onions" we did have seemed like the overun of onion ring batter they fished out of the fryer. I wouldn't recommend. The sliders themselves were also much smaller than the buns leaving a rather bread filled experience. I would hoenstly rather get a crave case from white castle. The kitchen did include the rubber duckie garnishment unlike the bar though. We also tried the mac and cheese pops. I will say these were quite good, but the included bed of marinara sauce while very tasty, was woefully lacking in quantity to be a meaningful dipping sauce in any form. Thankfully the tomato bisque I ordered was very tasty and proved a wonderful substitute. Though I had to hunt down a staff member to even get a spoon to eat it with and that took almost ten minutes even in our busy corridor. I also ordered a steak sandwich with fries. The bread was good, but the steak was like the sliders.. horrendously overcooked, very little cheese or onions, very heavy on the mushrooms (also overcooked and burnt). The french fries were spot on but they're also just french fries. Much rather would have some fresh ones from mcdonalds for a fourth the price. The tables also have no salt or pepper so you cant even attempt to season something to your preference. The only thing rewarding about this place to me, is the stuff that had sugar in it. Which makes sense given its name. The birthday milkshake my partner got came very well prepared, was extremely decadent and delicious and the presentation was fantastic with birthday sprinkle glass and the entire slice of rainbow cake garnishment on top of it. Its impressive if a little hard to practically manage. The cake was top notch and very creamy and buttery and smooth, and the milkshake equaled it. 6/5 there. They also brought her a nice strawberry and chocolate ice cream sundae with a big showy sparkler that drew a lot of attention and the staff sang us a nice song. It made her very happy. Overall, this probably was a good place before and I do think the service staff "try" to maintain that atmosphere. (I use quotes because italics isnt available here on yelp.) Our server Kit-Kat (yes you read that correctly) was overall very attentive and thoughtful. I saw some servers really get down on the birthday celebrations for the larger groups. That was fun as well. Though it did get almost dance club level loud at times. Three servers also went out of their way to graciously compliment my partner and I for her beauty, her style, and my attire. (Not in a weird way, very nice to us to hear such things unprovoked) That being said they do charge even small 2 person tables a mandatory 20% excess gratuity of which 3% goes to the restaurant and 17% goes to servers.

Food took 45 minutes to hit the table, did not bring the soup out before the dinner. Did not check on us while we waited we had to ask for more water and our regular drinks.. The food was Luke warm tasted okay. One of our dinners didn't like her dinner because it was cold.

Counter

Our server Jekuah G. said that they were out of the food options that were on the menu that we came specifically for which was the SF Rainbow Sliders & the Signature Goblet Drinks. However, after we order different options we see another table section with the sliders who got there after us. Also, the server had an strong foul odor on him every time he came to our table we would smell mildew odor as if he may have worn his Christmas sweater a few too many times before washing... He forgot most of our orders I lost my appetite & wanted to leave but I stayed due to the children wanting to stay. Honestly, the overall experience wasn't horrible it was just our server. The restaurant was clean & the food wasn't bad I think next time we do go we will just request for a different server if we see him there.

Absolutely horrible...THIS was the "blue cloud"...uh no this is the green swamp. That had no liq btw. Waste of money AND time. We ordered an appetizer and this drink. Took 50 min to get them...and both sucked. It was literally green pineapple juice. The shittest survive and way overpriced. I went here like 3-4 years ago and it was so much better. Idk if management changed or if staff just doesn't come to their shift but it showed. 0/10 all around, we will not be back if you paid me. Not to mention our table was dirty when we got seated and the floor was horrible as well. Ghetto

Buffalo chicken & fries

Fakey fancy. We went for lunch on a Monday and the place was fairly dead - 3 other tables around us were filled, but this is a huge space. It's very cute and I can see it's Instagrammable; there are lots of places to take selfies and a huge video wall with celebrities on red carpets, that kind of thing. But the dishes (at least at lunch) are plastic, and my plate was dirty. In addition, I had a hair in my fries. No bueno. I didn't mention it to the servers - there appeared to only be 2 working, and they were busting ass. I didn't want to cause a fuss - I just didn't finish the fries once I noticed. if I had been coming out of my own pocket for this meal, honestly, I would have left. Dirty dishes just aren't a good look, and I should have known after that. We had chicken sandwiches - I had the buffalo chicken - and it was ok. The bun was nice and fresh, and the sandwich tasted pretty good, but the fries could have been fresher, and I'm sure this was a frozen chicken patty refried, or at least that's what it tasted like. The service was actually quick and pretty good, so I don't mind the 20% gratuity automatically added, but you may want to note that. Overall, a good place to catch a nice-ish quick lunch in an hour, but check your plates and food for cleanliness. I worry that this place is too big with the most ridiculously large menu ever, and it might not last with other upscale restaurants in the area. This place seems to be marketed as "luxurious," but that's not the vibe I got with plastic plates and glasses. I wouldn't rush to return, but it would be fun to maybe just have drinks or desserts or a milkshake at the bar - it's a fantastic view!

HBD Briella!

Ask the Community - Sugar Factory

How much is the brunch buffet?

It varies but it is on the pricey side for what you get. The online menus are infrequently updated and dont reflect correct prices or offerings. E.g. the website doesnt list tacos or quesadillas, which are on the regular menu and is still presenting… 

Does every person's bill have a mandatory service charge?

Yes. A mandatory tip is added to every check.

How is the parking? Where do we park?

Street parking but depending I would park at a lot. I parked at Buffalo Wild Wings and walked across I think it was only 5 dollars

It feels like a family restaurant that can't wait to get to know you. (R&B and modern soul softly plays in the background as you eat and converse.) Service: Hard working staff at least the day I went 11/16/24 They seem fast too. You know how some front of the house staff argue, nope not them they help one another. Asked for eggs cooked lightly & THATS WHAT THE FUCK I GOT!!!!!! No picture cause I fucked them eggs up!!!! Food: See above comment. Fresh fruit, fluffy warm French toast could have been a little more hotter BUT that shit was slapping. I drink regular coffee BUT as my server explained to me the have COFFEE like over 10 varieties. Stop in have a bite.

I want to say they are in a some opening. It was busy and it was a little bit to get our food. But…read moreWendy is the reason why I want giving them a 4 instead of a three. She was so sweet and she was working hard. I am coming back and I hope I get Wendy. She made it so much better. It won't a lot a of places to park unless you pay but you can get in and out In Under 1 hours. Food was good and when they are Open I will be back to give another review. I would say get the mango wings and the catfish.
