Gone Down Hill Avoid Like The Plague!

by Thesmith

My family and i loved this place we are regular customers since they opened....that said the last few times we ordered take out it was so- so....but tonite it was down right poor.. The Captains plater thats their signature dish arrived as an soupy mess over cooked MINI size lobster tail a burnt piece of salmon and a loose pile of watery slop that was a "crab cake" all floating in a half inch of butter and juice?.. Even worse was the response of the manager who acted like we never ate their before?? And instead of bring it back I will replace it i got the run around! WRONG you just lost a 6 yr customer that orders at least twice a month.. Must be new owners cause the FOOD AND SERVICE SUCK!

Great Vegan Food, Salads, and Service

by racheysmachey

I was desperately looking for a good salad place in NJ. I find that most restaurants heavily rely on using cheese or meat in preparing their salads. Their reliance causes their salads to be mediocre at best once you remove the animal products. I googled salads in NJ and Good Times came up! My partner and I decided to go and we were very impressed.

1) Ambience - excellent. It has dim lighting but not dim enough to make your eyes hurt. There is soft music playing in the background so you can hear yourself think. The seats are comfortable and the decorations are tasteful and appropriate.

2) Service - Excellent: The service was amazing. The waitstaff knew if there were animal products in the dishes. Most of the dishes obviously had meat products (as can be expected). However, when I inquired about the soup they knew immediately that there was chicken stock. I didn't even have to ask once I told them I was vegan. They were prompt, thoughtful, and subtle. They do their job without getting in the way.

3) Food - So, because I am vegan, I got the 13 ingredient chopped salad...I HIGHLY recommend it if you are a salad fan. There are chick peas, cucumbers, red onions, kalamata olives, tomatoes, parsley, capers, celery, lettuce, and some other ingredients I can't remember, all chopped. They also serve the salad with Feta cheese. You can request them not to include it. It comes with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. They also provide delicious olive bread, and pumpernickel bread with raisins. I also got the grilled vegetable wrap with portabello mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. It comes with mozzarella but I did not get that. It was fantastic! Sometimes I get tired of veggie burgers or stir fries. If you're tired too, the salad and the wrap might do it for you!

Non vegan options are available too! I bet they are good if there vegan stuff rocks!

I always had a Good Time at Good Times!

by pandafaith

I was introduced to Good Times from my cousin, thought it was a diner. Actually it is better than a diner. This place is beautiful and classy! I love the shiny metal ribbon that wraps around the exterior of the restaurant. The one of the managers I met, Cindy, she made me felt right at home. She has a bubbly personality and shes also humorous! The food is great there, very tasty. If you go there, you MUST try their Tiramisu. My goodness, it is so good that you would want seconds! The bathroom at Good Times was clean and the sink is hot! If you need to freshen up, there are amenities for you to use. So you will always look great before or after your meal. I must say, as a picky eater and diner, Good Times is where you can relax and have a good time!

• Pros: Service,Food,Ambience, Sometimes there live , music.
• Cons: Only one in NJ, need , to open one in NY
