I only found out about this business because it aggressively spams ads via fax machine to companies in the immediate area.(The most alarming part of this statement should be that businesses in 2016 still use fax machines.) Xtreme Healthy Café is still attached to the Xtreme Fitness center next door and has remained open in spite of the gym’s closure last year. Not really a standalone restaurant, this business has managed to stay afloat by serving breakfast and lunch to Raritan Center convention attendees and employees who work on the Raritan Center campus but are too lazy to venture farther for more exciting lunch options. Because of its remote location in the desolate industrial desert that is Raritan Center, Xtreme Healthy doesn’t see enough customer traffic to justify being open for dinner or even on weekends. For a fitness center café that no longer has a fitness center, the food and service are mostly passable, but there are better choices at better prices outside of Raritan Center. Unless you work nearby and enjoy bumping into coworkers, there’s really no reason to ever come out of your way to eat here.

Let me start by saying the food was tasty and was not the problem here. The service was absolutely subpar. When I went to order my sandwich the cashier said my total and reached out, and I had to stop her so I could add a drink to my meal. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, no lettuce or tomato and with ketchup. I got a plain burger with a piece of bacon on it. I wanted medium-rare, I got well done. The burger was actually good tasting but having been the only customer ordering I was very offended at being rushed and that my order was not taken correctly, given that the menu said bacon cheeseburger not bacon burger. Will probably come back to try breakfast one day and hope for better employees to be in.

0 stars should be allowed. This place has the potential to be an excellent one stop shop for lunch yet time and time again they fail to deliver… Literally. You order a smoothie with 3 kinds of fruit they give you 2, you order a panini they bring a wrap. So today I decided to actually get in my car and drive to this establishment figuring that if I am in the building, there is no way for them to screw up my order. WRONG. I ordered a sandwich and the girl was so eager to get my money she didn’t even ask me what I’d like on it. I specified no onions which several patrons heard me say and when I got my sandwich guess what… Onions. I brought it to their attention and the guy behind the counter said«it didn’t say that on the ticket» then proceeded to pick the onions off of my sandwich and give it back to me. Has anyone ever heard of a little thing called allergies.(I had a similar yet somehow worse experience with a chicken burger, but that’s another story for another day) I asked them to make a new one and they huffed and puffed so I asked for my money back instead… Now the new sandwich comes out of no where and the girl behind the counter was shoving the new sandwich in my face along with my debit card that hadn’t been refunded. At this point I really didn’t want the sandwich because I am allergic to way too many things to allow someone with an attitude to send me to the hospital but guess what, I took it. To sweeten things the gentleman who was in front of me was asking for his receipt before, during, and after I placed my order, which the girl behind the counter of course had an attitude about stating«I didn’t know you wanted it» he was polite and asked her again so guess what she did. She dug in the trash next to the register and went through a few crumpled pieces of paper… Absolutely disgusting… You serve food for heavens sake!!! I am beyond done with this place and I can’t wait until something new comes along. That one delivery guy Alex got out while he could… Smart man. The name should be changed to Xtremely Disappointing, but I digress….

Used to be a good place. Not anymore. No sign telling people where to line up for the cashier and usually ends up having 2 parallel lines or the worst someone cut it off. Now they are asking for cash only if the order is less than $ 10! Although any meal is less than $ 10. Customers who call, causing longer wait time for people who were already in the place before the phone rings.

I was extremely disappointed with the service I experienced today. My co-workers and I order from Xtreme Healthy Café often because the food is good and usually delivers quickly. Well today completely turned me off from ordering there ever again. I called to place an order and a man picked up the phone and said ‘please hold’ which I did for 6 minutes. I thought maybe they forgot about the call which happens and is fine so I called again. The same man picked up with an attitude and said to hold on for 2 or 3 minutes. Well another 6 minutes go by and he finally picks up. He starts asking for the address, phone #, and company name. Then abruptly says he has to talk to someone and doesn’t even put me on hold but HANGSUP! I was so angry at this point. I called back and a female picked up who wasn’t any better. Couldn’t get the order right and I had to repeatedly say the order. They lost our business so I guess King George Café will do instead.

Good smoothies. Lots of unhealthy choices, as well, for those that want them. :)

Decent food, but really poor service. Today I called in a three item order and was told 15 minutes. 50 minutes later my food was finally ready. When I arrived, I was told they were finishing up the order… Turns out they lost my order, and the guys in front of me. They offered me a refund… Then never gave it to me. Aside from that, the food is decent. Food comes with a side, but I got literally a fourth of a cup of potato salad and it made my fat-kid-at-heart soul die. They also cut the very rare roast beef way too think, and it was like a slab of uncooked meat. My dog loved it though.

Food is decent but easily the worst service I have ever received. It’s like they are surprised every day that people are there and have no idea how to handle it. Food is either wrong or you wait forever and sometimes, if you’re lucky, it’s both. Manager is rude. Only go there out of convenience but am at the point where I cannot give them my money any longer.

Awesome food! My friends are obsessed with this place, so today I finally got around to trying it! It definitely lived up to all the hype everyone has been giving it. I ordered the southwest wrap with turkey bacon instead of regular bacon and it was amazing! Great portions(comes with pickles & brown rice or pasta salad) and the place looks extremely clean. Will be returning soon to try more!

This is a great choice for lunch and that is perfect for those working in Raritan Center. The service is fast and one can easily save time ordering ahead. The first time I was at Xtream Healthy Café I ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and was worried it would not be enough food, however I was surprised to find a huge portion for such a great low price. I was surprised to see a Burgers on the menu, and thankful once I tried it. This is much better than any fast food burger around. I am very happy to have found this place.

Okay food but worst slowest service ever. Called for pickup and heard 20 to 25 minutes but showed up and waited an additional half an hour and it’s not even crowded. The girls working the cash registers and answering the phones are so clueless and need to be fired immediately. Especially the one with the black hair. After I finally wanted to figure out what was going on after waiting for so long it turned out my food was sitting on the shelf for about 20 minutes after I paid and the black haired girl just stood around all clueless. Hopefully management sees this and react. Get it together! Hopefully I remember to bring my lunch to work from now on

Sandwiches, paninis, burgers, wraps, breakfast, DIY salad bar, soups, smoothies, etc. I usually buy one of the hot wraps, but I hear the burgers are good. Busy during lunch, so call your order in ahead of time if you don’t want to wait. Good little salad bar with grilled chicken available. Has a seating area if you want to eat in.
