The Food Factory Foodie Collective

This place was not at all what I expected. I paid $17 for 3 tacos (was hoping they would be somewhat decent) and my sister spent $20 for fajitas. When the food came out I almost asked if there was a shortage on food. I was shocked at how small the portions were. The corn tortillas were so dry they fell apart after 2 bites. They gave me one lime so I asked for more to at least try to help out the dryness. When that didn’t work I used the salsa instead and it tasted like sweet ketchup. My sisters fajitas were just as bad and she said the beans were inedible and the guacamole was like the pre packaged guac you get at a gas station. We are big on Mexican food and with rising prices everywhere we take what we spend our money on very seriously. We were also here to celebrate her birthday with family and it tainted the experience we were so looking forward to having. If you’re going to come here, I would only get the pizza. The waffle shop was not worth it either. I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, but this experience was pretty bad.

Nice outdoor eating space with lots of tables. Great for families with room for kids to play. Large, clean bathrooms. Many food options we’re experiencing sold out dishes so they are experiencing growing pains. There were 3 different food stalls with some type of chicken and waffles dish, so variety needs to be expanded.

Great drinks at the main bar! Good atmosphere and open space for game day, happy hour, and work parties. Outside there is a lot of seating and it’s very family friendly. Multiple micro eateries to choose from and you can all order something different which is perfect for picky eaters. Great addition to the Oveido area.

We love this spot! My husband and I checked out Food Factory this past Sunday and this might be our new Sunday Funday go-to! $5 Mimosas and tons of TVs for Football. Definitely loving the rebrand!

This plage is an entirely different vibe than it was when it opened or even a few months ago. The new owner just remodeled the bar and it actually looks super inviting and cozy. I love the decor and the more adult oriented vibes at the bar instead of kids running throughout the bar. They have a bunch of tvs that always have a game on too and they do football watch parties ??. They just opened new restaurants and the live music definitely helps keep it fresh. I’m glad I have a spot to go now in Oviedo.

Came and met up with some friends here for a little double date. Sat down in my chair and realized it was sticky from syrup. Which is no biggie, just swapped the chairs. The place is very family centered as it would seem because there were children everywhere running outside playing with balls. The micro restaurants throughout were very cool to peak into as they offer different drinks and eating options. It was pretty easy to order and have them drop off your items to your table as long as you remember your table #. I mostly ordered and ate from the Cantina Mexican restaurant as they had great options of margaritas and foods. I did peak into the food factory ? itself and it had a nice bar with plenty of tvs to watch whatever sporting event going on. I would say this spot is a wonderful spot to catch some football for the season. They also had some games such as cards against humanity, battleship, ring toss etc. on hand to play with friends as you socialize. Great spot worth checking out.

We’ve been coming to Food Factory since the grand opening last year. So we’ve seen several changes but are still loyal patrons because this place is literally a staple in our lives. The live music is truly something Oviedo lacks but Food Factory delivers with awesome artists performing every week. Come out and support your local pub- there’s food and drinks for everyone to enjoy. Oh and ask for James at the bar- he’s the coolest. Caden too!

I’m so glad they have weakened the kids vibe, that was insane! Now it is a proper bar and an amazing new renovation for a great time. Looking forward to football season now.

New ownership and bartenders. Frank was great on Thursday night. I was part of a large work group that came in. 30 people, unannounced with no prior reservation. We filled every bar seat. On top of that a party of 15 came in right behind us. Frank served EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. on his own. His skill in cranking out our drinks one after the other is unmatched. It’s a shame the 1 star review doesn’t accurately reflect the service of that night. The rebrand is going to be great here just in time for football season!

This place is absolutely amazing. Went again last night with 5 kids and a ton of family and the food and service was excellent. The kids had an absolute blast and every time we leave they’re exhausted from running around outside. The new management for the bar has been awesome and they are turning the bar into more of a sports / dive bar hang out which is fantastic. Yea they got rid of the kids drinks but come on parents who really enjoyed paying for kids drinks anyway? lol. Hers my favorite food dishes: Cantina: Tacos/queso. Local Hen: Chicken and waffles. Buttercrust pizza: any buttercrust square. Kai Asian: Korean wings. DRINKS: Old Fashion and strawberry mule

My husband and I absolutely love this place! Buttercrust pizza is amazing. We love the fact that the bar was sold and purchased by someone who knows how to give the community a fantastic bar! Great mixology, a personal and knowledgeable staff! We can't wait to see the final remodel!

The bartenders are amazing. The service is excellent and bartenders are very attentive. Great place to go for happy hour or just to chill for a bit. There’s been a lot of updates and renovations and so far it’s a lot of fun! Foosball, pinball, darts, new comfy chairs at the bar. Couldn’t ask for a better place to go

This is a really neat spot in Oviedo. I am not sure why all the negative reviews. We were able to order from a bunch of different places and the whole thing has a great atmosphere and good food. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The only negative is I think the A/C needs to be cranked up a bit but other than that it is great!
