The Ambience is great and it's a huge restaurant! Great music! The thing that's really unfortunate and appalling about this establishment, is that the security guards got physically abusive with me. I had a miscommunication, mix up which was the staff's misunderstanding with closing out a tab, and as I was leaving, I was chased by two huge men who were security guards, and they physically assaulted me. They grabbed my arms and wrists forcefully, telling me to go back inside to pay my tab, after the mix up was already explained inside. In no circumstance, should any security guard put their hands on a customer, especially a small female. It was painful! Absolutely ridiculous! read more

The Factory's happy hour specials are the best! The appetizers and the margaritas are so yummy. I will be back soon

Went for a live band experience but the sound system needs an improvement as it was way too loud for humans to bear. Food was okay as well as the service. read more

Came here after brunch with a few friends for some drinks. Definitely my kind of atmosphere! Super chill, hookah is available, and the drinks were pretty solid! The food was also pretty tasty! My only complaint was the heat. It is pretty much all outdoors, so their huge fans were just blowing the hot air around. Just be conscious of the weather if you ever stop by! read more

The homies and I came here thinking it would be more of a club atmosphere but I saw tables instead. The vibe was more dance in your seat and look cute vs sweating out your makeup. It depends on what you like. Once I decided we were going to be dancing at our tables, I decided to order food since why not? (food is a good time) I ordered the lobster mac n cheese and for the price point; it did not disappoint. Considering it was $14 dollars, it was a big portion with big portions of lobster. It was delish and i'll be back just for this dish. read more

My daughters and I loved everything about this place. From the entrance which had a wonderful array of natural light to the Caribbean music. Great for a date night or party. Now the food... You can make a meal just off the appetizers. Highly recommend the lobster Mac and cheese and the Thai calamari your mouth will thank you. The fried Snapper was seasoned well and the ribeye was tender. Please consider giving this place a try. I was able to find street parking so that was a plus as well. read more

My first time here was July 2019 when i tagged along with my sister for her childhood best friend birthday party. Omg when i walked in i loved the vibes it gave off of warehouse chic meets classy dining. The penne pasta i had was so flavorful to the point i posted it on my snap and everyone asked where i got it from. Beautiful presentation and that was not all, i did not know in the back would be a lounge/club area. At first it was just our party and over the course of the night it lit up. Everyone had a great time and we were seated in the VIP section for the birthday party which was amazing. Drinks and bottle service were great as well as the hookah and the music selection was diverse. We ended up staying until they closed at the time at 3am. I haven't been back since so i cant speak on other reviewers recent experiences here post covid. read more

This location treats African American poorly and my friends and I have experienced it. When we first came in, they charged us to get in. It was said that they do not charge at the door. The receptionist was very nasty to us and they did not welcome us with open arms. At the end of the night, one of the security guards SNATCHED a hookah away from one of my girls as she had the hookah in HER MOUTH. That was very unprofessional and disrespectful. The cherry on top was that an employee took out a hammer and started to bang it on the bar table to aggressively kick us out. The next day my friend went in the restaurant to speak to the manager/owner, nothing was done, not even an explanation as to why such things happened. read more

I went here for a late night cap. The place is extremely loud so I wouldn't come here to have a conversation. The drinks were ok and they do have hookah which is a plus. A nice spot for a quick drink and great music! read more

Love this place, the staff and others are fantastic people. We visited for the first time and everyone was so freaking nice, it made it all the better.

I would not come back based on my first visit and only visit. Advertised on the net as Sing along Sundays from 1 to 6. Got there at 130 and they were playing salsa off of YouTube. Asked the server if the event was still happening and he had no idea what we were talking about. Ordered two drinks and the server didn't know what we meant even though both drinks were on the menu. She informed us that they could not make the drinks because the bartender has not arrived yet so had to settle for a beer. Server told my wife in Spanish that we have some potato salad that we would like for you to try. Was very bland and when the check came she charged us $3.00 for it that we no more than 3 spoonfuls. Poor service! Never came back to check if we needed anything. This is not a rant on Spanish speaking professionals but if my wife was not there I might still be there trying to order. Their English is poor at best. Had to flag them down to get a check. Food we mediocre at best Would not recommend this place. I hope the owner or manager sees this because for such a big place it sucks! read more

PROS 1. Baked Leg Quarter Chicken is Huge and Flavorful. 2. White Rice is Cooked Well. 3. Red Beans are Cooked Well. 4. Pepper Steak Stew is Good. 5. Sancocho is the BEST in NJ so far. 6. Picada (Chopped Fried Chicken, Steak, Chorizo, Ham, Cheese, Salami, Yucca and Tostones) is Delicious. I LOVE the Chicken, Steak and Yucca..... 7. Flavorful Chicken Stew 8. Pina Coladas are the Best in Jersey City and Strong. 9. I love their Mamajuana with Passion Fruit Juice. 10. Delicious Fried Yuca Fries. 11. Perfectly Cooked and Seasoned Churrasco Skirt Steak. 12. Pork Rib Stew is Tender and Flavorful. 13. Spicy Lobster Mac n Cheese was SUPER Flavorful and Nice Slap of Hotness! So Creamy, Well Made and Not Runny. 14. Oxtail Stew was Super Tender and Flavorful. 15. Huge Outdoor Seating. 16. Tropical Vibe Music from Hip Hop, Reggae, Soca, Merengue to Salsa! 17. Huge Chicken Wings. 18. Eggplant Stew is Cooked Well and Flavorful. (Flavors remind me of Pasteles Masa) it's Healthy and Delicious! 19. Friendly Staff. 20. Bartender/Server Wilme and Jean are Awesomely Professional Everytime! CONS 1. Fried Red Snapper needs more Flavor. 2. Chicken Mac n Cheese was too Saucy, it needed more Dense Texture. Perhaps, more Cheese or an Egg to bring it together. 3. Chicken Wings had No Flavor inside, it needs to be Marinated Overnight in Non Salted Wet Seasoning. read more

Out exploring and this place popped up and we decided to give a try! We entered and waited a minute, and were seated. A few minutes later Angel came to give us a menu.15 minutes later Laura came to us to take our food and drink order and Angel came to bring us water after. A few minutes later our drinks came out. We ordered the Casamigos palomas and the factory tea. They both are smooth drinks with a little tang. For appetizers we ordered the bbq wings and calamari. The calamari was warm and chewy but they do serve a big portion. The wings were fresh, crisp and tasty! Laura asked how the food was and offered to change our calamari or switch it to anything. She won me over ! Great job Laura for customer service! The Picadera was delicious! Oh I cannot forget if you are a hookah lover.....the hookah is great with awesome customer service! We ordered a margarita, strawberry daiquiri, and Henny colada after...if you are a light weight these drinks are for you! The music is great and of variety! read more

This place needs more attention to the food. The mofongo was extremely Dry and tasteless. The calamari was too crunchy and tastes like adobo. Our drinks took over 20 minutes to come to our table. By the time the appetizers came and I ate it, I was turned off and could not move on to the entree. The service was good and I loved the attention but prefer my food to taste better. My friend ordered the churrasco Medium and it came well done and dry. Will not be back! read more

This is my 2nd time eating here. The 1st time I had pan seared salmon and mojitos to drink. The salmon was delicious and the drinks strong. This time I ordered the red snapper baked with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I was presented with an entire fish (eyes included) with a gaping mouth. It was bland and full of bones. Terrible flavor and worse presentation. They should put it on the menu that it is an entire fish and not a fillet. Oh, and the fish still had its skin on it. I felt like I was eating one of my cichlids from my aquarium at home. The drinks were strong and very good. The music was Spanish and overly loud. A DJ from Dominican Republic. My wife enjoyed her pasta. She had no complaints and enjoyed the atmosphere. The waitress was not very good. She asked me if I wanted my fish cooked rare or well done. She brought a to-go container for my wife but didn't leave any silverware to put the food into the container. But I understand why the service is so poor....there is an 18% tip included in the bill. read more

Food is delicious. Portions are HUGE. cooked perfectly. Ordered the picada (which said for 2...I could have fed 6 easily) Only thing I didn't like was they add 20% gratuity for orders of $130 or more. Service was good. But I think it should have been my choice. There were only 3 of us. read more

If I could, I wouldn't give any stars. Beware- their menus they hand you are false advertisement. Pay attention to the time you go. They up the prices whenever they just feel like it. Owners didn't appreciate people catching onto that lol! They just want money wherever they can attempt to get it. Hookah wasn't good Margaritas were made different strength wise every time Staff eh Owner no I'll give the one star for the music - but bring your own drinks and hookah read more

Terrible . No estrellas . No stars . Ate here two weeks ago service was trash / basura . Ordered pick up today. Typing this while I'm still waiting for it actually . They messed up my order and made me pay the difference . So I had to pay an additional 15-20.00 Bartender who took my ordered offered a drink. Not to discount my order . I took the drink & still paid . I asked if I could take the drink bartender rudely said no. So I drank some of it while waiting for my order. Once the order arrived , Bartender rudely told me to just take the drink & when asked if I can take it in a to go cup as most places are doing . Bartender was annoyed . I went to this location a year ago service & food menu was wayyy better . I'm pretty sure he said " just take it " because he noticed I was typing up this review read more

IF YOURE AFRICAN AMERICAN! Gather here! I know we like to try different atmospheres but Trust me when I say DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT GO HERE. We got a hammer pulled out on us just because we were expressing how we felt. We felt discriminated against from the moment our ID's were been checked! Oh we were referenced to as "THESE PEOPLE" and over heard a manager or staff member saying "get these N- words out of here." Just sad we still have to go through businesses not welcoming African Americans in 2024. read more

Saturday i went to this place for a 50th private party, and my daughter's phone was stolen. like how can you book a private party and also have your staff serve you and also steal from you.... nope!! no good also In the party didn't include drinks had to go to the bar and get our drinks ok that's no problem but why is it that the first drink is $6.00 then an hour later you get the same drink and is $11. the price double....mmmm I'm not drunk yet to be taken as a sucker!!!!!!!!!! read more

So this place is huge! I'm talking two floors, a bar and a lounge big. Plus a parking lot. Hopefully it's amazing food, strong flavorful drinks and crave-able comfort food (fingers crossed). Not quite - food is expensive and service is just as confused as why they're in a Hispanic themed abandoned factory serving wine. . . Good: The Factory is spacious. A nice change up from the tiny cafes and restaurants around town. Decor? Terra cotta elements and wood through out the interior. Exterior is entirely brick and metal and I will most def be back to take some pics with the walls (ok!). And that golden peacock by the entrance. And that giant orchid display near the bar. Thought this was a factory theme place. . . More brick less paintings and floral elements. Ahem, onto the food and service. So we wanted to sit in the upper area. It took the waitresses about 5 mins to figure out if that was ok. While waiting, I asked for the WiFi as 2 networks came up and was told the men are working on it. Working on WiFi on a Friday night? Not sure about that one. Everyone was nice enough, just moving super slow. No one seemed to know what was going on. I was told the menu was "American." However to me, the seasoned Yelper I am, the menu was Hispanic with some pasta and a pizza dish. Wasn't feeling super confident after seeing the menu, which I was also told was being tested. Only tried the plantain cup ($9). 3 super flavorful avocado crispy plantain covered noms came in the portion. They were a little dry and could have used more spice. I think I'll stick to my local PR joint and get a whole meal for that price. Final thoughts: more like a Hispanic theme lounge in a renovated abandoned building. Work out the kinks and get through the identity crisis. I'll be back to see what is unfolding. . . read more

Sigh... I really thought we had a winner in the area. I am local and have been dying for a new place that is in walking distance. Plus I needed more options than just lightrail cafe, but unfortunately they have done this ALL wrong. 1. They do not realize this is bergen lafayette... now I love this area but there is no way in the world they should be charging $35 for a steak. They dont even charge that much at havana in hoboken (great place btw) and its HOBOKEN!! The service is blah, hostess was kind of stand offish and the servers weren't great either. I asked for a drink and they didnt have the ingredients for it, the manager then comes over and says we are new thats why we dont have everything. Hmmm sounds like the exact reason why you should have EVERYTHING. The food came out slow and out of order so I had to watch my guest eat. Everyone in the service industry knows that you wait for both meals to come out UNLESS the customer says please bring it out as it's ready. Some people actually like to eat together. Oh and the happy hour is 5-7. Downtown and in the city, happy hours start at 3, 4 the latest. So that was a turn off especially because the drinks were pretty pricey. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because the food wasnt bad so basically if you want over priced good tasting food TO GO...the factory is your spot otherwise....take the trip downtown until we get a restaurant owner in this area with some sense as to their market. Oh and the bread SUCKS. read more

Easily in the top three of ALL TIME worst dining experiences. We had an 8:00pm reservation yesterday, for 8 people. Supposedly, the person from my party of 8 who made the reservation called two different times in the week leading up to the evening. That said, the reservation was no where to be found. Btw this was for Valentine's Day. It wasn't that busy either. That should say something. We waited over an hour for a lackluster salad. One person at my table never got theirs and had to wait an additional 20 minutes after alerting our woefully inept waitress to that fact. We waited another hour and fifteen minutes for what can only be described as mediocre at best food. The service was incredibly horrible. The manager was useless. The server was largely MIA. No one seemed to give a Frenchmen's fcuk about our table. The capper was my trip to the bathroom. There was some dude in there I guess being the soap and towel guy, lord only knows. He's on his phone practically yelling the whole time. Then all I want to do is wash and dry my own hands. He runs over while still on his phone, squirting soap on my hands. Then brings me bounty paper towels on a roll. If that all wasn't tacky enough, out of nowhere he tried sticking a pack of menthol halls lozenges into my front pants pocket. With completely no warning and while still hammering on his cell. This place was horrendous. It was HOURS of my life that I'll never get back. I'll never come back. Not for $10K. read more

My BF and I went here a few weeks ago. We're new to the area and were looking for a date night spot that wasn't far. And this place is literally a few blocks away so it was perfect. We went and the place was empty on a Friday night. Which was odd but it was still early so we didn't think too much into it. The waitress seemed new she came to the table and didn't introduce herself she started pouring water and I had to ask if she was our waitress because I wanted to order something. We placed our drink orders and she came back 2 times. Once to ask my BF what he wanted again and then the next time to ask if he wanted an alternate flavor of the drink he ordered INCASE they didn't have what he originally wanted. Which was weird because why wouldn't she just have gone and checked whether or not they had what he originally wanted instead of asking for a second choice? She also didn't bring bread to the table when I realized the tables around us did have bread. I had to ask for it after a while. And she just seemed to be nervous and would take a bit too long to come back to the table. The food was good. I had the salmon which was good but the sauce was a bit weird but the veggies and mash was great and one thing I will say is that the steak my BF originally ordered They no longer had anymore in the kitchen and she offered the upgrade for the much bigger steak free of charge. We didn't initially know how big it was but it was huge. I'd return maybe later at night and just for smaller plates and drinks I think in the summer this is a fun place to go read more

Worst service I have ever received in any restaurant. Waited 2 1/2 hours for my food to come. Before the food arrived at our table, 2 hours later, they informed us the kitchen was closed. I experienced this twice in a row. Do not go to this place you will not only waste your money, but you will see double charges in your account if using a debit card. You will be extremely disappointed! read more
