The Food Factory is a collection of smaller (what we call micro-restaurants) encompassing approximately 14,500 square feet of well-designed indoor, covered outdoor, and open-air courtyard spaces for fabulous food, drink, games, and entertainment. It consists of seven 800 sf micro-restaurants run by local chefs. Each micro-restaurant has its own full kitchen and menu reflecting imaginative and high caliber fast-fine dining offerings unlike a food hall. Kid friendly. Outside courtyards are dog-friendly!

We call them “micro” because each is an 800 square foot restaurant with a full kitchen and its own seating, unlike a food hall with stalls, a commissary kitchen and warmed over food. Restrooms for the entire Collective are located next to Oviedo Park Pub to give the micro-restaurants added kitchen space.

The rocket in the courtyard serves as a vibrant tribute to our close connections with the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the iconic Space Coast. Located within a stone's throw of both, our establishment draws inspiration from the spirit of exploration and innovation that defines the area. These rockets symbolize our dedication to reaching new heights in culinary excellence and community gathering. Moreover, on select nights, our patio becomes the perfect spot for guests to witness the awe-inspiring rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center, making every visit to The Food Factory a potentially out-of-this-world experience.
