“One of the best halal spots in NJ”

“Me encanto la comida y buen trato al cliente”

“I recently discovered Good Vibes Cafe in Fords, NJ, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. John and Angelica, the owners, create an atmosphere that is not only friendly but genuinely welcoming. Every visit feels like a warm, positive experience. My son and I have spent countless enjoyable hours at the cafe, often hanging out with their wonderful daughter Jade. The teas and shakes are a delight, offering a refreshing and diverse selection. The ambiance is just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. And let's talk about the donuts – they are out of this world! The flavors are unique, and the freshness is unbeatable. Each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. Good Vibes Cafe is more than just a place to grab a drink or snack; it's an experience filled with warmth, great company, and, of course, fantastic treats. If you're in Fords, NJ, do yourself a favor and soak in the good vibes at this exceptional cafe.”

“I have tried the tres leches in various flavors and had a Dominican cake made to order. It is the most authentic Dominican cake I have had in a long while! Delicious! The shop is always well stocked and they are well organized and friendly. Highly recommend!”

“It's my 3rd time ordering take out from here and its my first ever bad experience. Not with the food but with the service, the 1st two times I was there it's always been nice but this time it wasn't.

I ordered food for pick up, I get there and this short Filipina Aunty with glasses at the register did not greet me, no hello or anything. Just side eyes me, enters in my order and then finally asks if I am paying with card. I paid with card, no thank you or anything just a slight gesture towards the bag.

I drove home and brushed it off but come to find out we are missing our leche flan. I tried calling at 6:55pm but they close at 7pm so I'm assuming they ignore calls. For a Filipino owned restaurant, you would assume the customer service is superb and top notch but no, it doesn't seem to be all the time. I love Filipino food and Filipino people, I married into a Filipino family and I love the culture. But for someone to just not greet me or anything at all as a customer and then come to find out missing a $9 leche flan is unacceptable.

Update - Rommel reached out to me to clarify the issue and has even offered to make my next order free of charge. Amazing customer service and very responsive! Thank you Rommel!”

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.”

“Very cool spot in downtown Metuchen. Nichelle was such a great server with great suggestions, and the overall atmosphere was great. I was particularly impressed with the fresh pasta. Gnocchi was top tier. I'll definitely be back.”

“Great food here! I had to drive 40 minutes to get here, but the food makes it worth it! The service is great, the fish is excellent, and the atmosphere is friendly. The restroom is clean, but the only problem is the opening hour is a bit late. Overall, great experience. Would definitely come back again. Possibly the best fish soup in NJ.”

“disfrutamos de un excelente servicio y Daniel el camareronos brindo atencion”

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.”

“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FOOD THAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! PLEASE, IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO GO THERE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!”

“Great food with consistent outcomes with every visit. We eat in the restaurant which is never crowded. I would like to see more people come in. Today our new favorite was the whole Pomfret fish. I didn't get a picture but did of our earlier choices. Itsxs great sharing time experience with your own favorite wine.”

“Great food. Great service”

“10 Stars for the service 👍👍👍✨️
Amazing services by the crew. Very fast, attentive and friendly too. 👏👏👏
The fish soup broth was not enough, it's kinda hard to scoop off the soup to your bowl, they offered if you want more broth, but then less flavorful after they add with just the base broth without seasoning.
Garlic shrimp was the highlight of the dinner.
The gave us complementary drinks & desserts💖
Overall was good food, great service and good vibes.
When you come here, Please tips the servers 20% or more as they worked really hard.”
