"The establishment was beautifully decorated and very exciting to walk into. We arrived early for our 5pm reservation by 25 minutes and the hosts graciously offered to sit us immediately. We were celebrating our oldest daughter’s 9th birthday, we planned to get apps, milkshakes, dinner and some alcoholic beverages. Our waitress clearly had a large section of tables to care for which I believed took away from the experience. When she greeted us, she came over with waters and asked what we would like for drinks/ apps. As it was my daughter’s birthday we allowed the kids to order milkshakes to start before dinner and we ordered Mac cheese pops, rainbow sliders. The Mac cheese pops were the highlight of our experience, they were exact copy cats of the Cheesecake Factory ones, 10/10. The rainbow sliders were not edible. The buns were hard and it seemed they had been sitting around a while, the burger itself was chewy. My daughter ordered the fried Oreo milkshake. She loved the appearance and definitely gave her the ooooo-ahhh effect we were going for. She said the milkshake was very yummy. Some of the topping included were fried Oreos, and pancakes. The pancakes were burnt/ very charred on one side. It took about 20 minutes for the apps to come out but it took close to 40-45 minutes for the milkshakes. Normally, we don’t mind waiting however we did not see our server during this entire time. She took the drink/app order, other staff dropped off the food, so the next time we saw her she brought the bar Drinks one milkshake, immediately left to go get the other milkshake. So after all this time, when she brought the last shake we told her about the sliders,she did offer new ones but at this point she hadn’t even taken our dinner order and we have been then for over hour. We ended up making the decision to bring our kids to a different restaurant for dinner because of how the experience was going. So after leaving Sugar Factory with empty stomachs we went to HardRock."

"Final Update (July 27, 2024): THEY PUT BACON IN MY VEGETARIAN CREPE. I am still traumatized and queasy from my breakfast this morning. I ordered a scrambled egg, spinach, tomato crepe, which is vegetarian, as I am a Muslim and do not eat meat outside. Most of the meal was fine, until the last bite. I felt a crunch that it should not have and did not have until the last bite. It's also definitely not the crust of the crepe itself as I was eating the crust together with the center nearly all the time. I was trying to figure out what this crunchy thing could be. Then I remembered reading somewhere BACON is crunchy and savory. A nearby waitress noticed my face go pale and asked if everything is okay. I asked about this crunchy, savory thing I tasted in the last bite that felt very weird, out of place, and asked if it could be BACON. She saw some leftovers in my plate and said it does look like that. I could not believe it. In all my years in USA, I have never had such a horrible experience with MEAT being contaminated into some VEGETARIAN dish. This is literally deserving of a lawsuit. The problem with crepes is you cannot open and see everything to ensure they didn't contaminate with some BACON before eating as that defeats the purpose of a crepe. I urge all vegetarians and Muslims to AVOID this restaurant like the plague. They have no standards of cross contamination if they cannot even keep pigs and dogs away from vegetarian dishes in the kitchen. I also just saw the latest edited response from the owner to my review and see they are accusing me of lying. How disgusting and unethical. I don't care if it's the first and last time you served a group at 3:45 pm in 15 years. You just had to check your CCTV footage and confirm several of us were waiting outside while this group barged in and ordered at 3:45 pm that day. If you need even more help, it was a group of young children, probably some school or high school, with a few older teacher-aged people. Now go find the footage and I hope you recant your accusation of me lying. Absolutely despicable. Only thing I agree with the owner on is the Strawberries and cream was good. But who knows, it might contain meat too, if you aren't looking. Old review I ordered the Bavarian cream since it looked simple and focused on the vanilla flavor. But it felt really disgusting in terms of texture. I was afraid it might have gelatin when I Googled the ingredients upon that feeling of disgust. I asked the staff for the ingredients and they brought a big bucket and showed me the ingredients. Thankfully, it didn't have gelatin. But I'm guessing the reason it tasted so bad was it was some wholesale cream sold at Costco or Restaurant Depot. Update 1: Made it 3* because the service was good and they replied they buy from a bakery, which is better. For me, personally, though, the food just did not taste good so I cannot give it more than 3*. I'm happy others seem to like it though. Just the Bavarian creams I've had in other places were better suited for my taste buds. Another issue I cannot increase the stars for is that the shop was supposed to be closed 3-4 Saturday and many of us waited outside in the sun whils a big group of people just walked in at 3:45ish and took a long time to order, which wasn't over even when I entered at 4pm as the first batch or customers."
