(808) 924-5001Our party of four stopped in for lunch at this Waikiki location. Wonderful salads, impressive burgers and sandwich options, and decent soups. There appeared to be some unique options on this location’s menu to capture Hawaii’s tropical flavor. Service seemed attentive and responsive. The open-air setting, while a little warm, was still comfortable; the patio seems always crowded at this spot. But people come here for the desserts, and the Factory repeatedly shines in this area. The Chocolate Raspberry Truffle was a chocoholic’s guilty pleasure, and the Pumpkin Pecan proved to be a delightful surprise. Only the plain cheesecake options seemed to be lacking as we pressed our server to supply us one dressed in a fruity topping. Huge slices of cheesecake meant that even our party couldn’t finish it all–the Factory was kind enough to pack them in separate cartons so that we could indulge our sweet teeth in the privacy of our hotel rooms. Glad to see that this spot is maintaining high standards for the chain.
