![]() ![]() ![]() Tick tock needs to stop worrying about the aesthetics and go back to the fundamentals of a diner: cheap, good food without the frilly packaging.Dip them in ketchup, drown them in gravy, cover them in parmesan cheese and truffle oil – but no matter how you eat them, make sure you get some fries on National French Fry Day! Tick-Tock gets 2.5/5 Munchies for having a misleading menu, crappy prices and mediocre food. With drinks (just a diet Coke) we spent about $21. It was supposedly pretty good, but not exactly a well-balanced meal. DM reviewess #2 wasn't too happy about this, proclaiming "This is not breakfast!". It ended up being more of a dessert, covered in chocolate syrup and ice cream. It turns out that all of the things listed on the menu as supposed choices were all thrown together for this dish. Another surprise: the ketchup bottle actually dispensed ketchup easily! No "knife trick" required.Īs for the stuffed french toast, this was also a surprise. The fries were good though, they were actual steak fries instead of the shoestring variety. It tasted pretty much like any other diner burger, not quite worth the $7.95 premium IMO. The presentation was OK, and everything was as advertised. My burger came out first (dock one point for not bringing the dishes together). The diner wasn't busy around dinnertime on a Friday, and I would expect a little faster service from a diner which is used to being very busy on typical weekend nights. She had thought you could choose which thing you wanted it stuffed with, but the waitress told us, "Oh, it has bananas and strawberries", so she said "okay" and ordered it. ![]() Moving on to the other half of DM, she ordered a French Toast plate (can't find it on the menu now), but the menu listing looked kinda like this The waitress was kind enough to suggest alternatives such as peas, green beans, and Brussels sprouts (?!) but I assured her I was just trying to cheap out on her. I made an attempt to order it without fries, trying to save a little dough, but this was not possible. I ended up ordering the "Black Jack Burger", featuring "Cajun spices, jack cheese, grilled onions, and French fries". ![]() I was looking at the burgers, having had too many pancake dinners lately. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but there were some minor snafus. Our booth was coincidentally across from a large poster of Guy Fieri, signed by him: We came in and were seated within 15 seconds. The official street address is Allwood Road in Clifton, but you can also access it from Route 3 on the westbound side. Like most Jersey diners, it features a section with booths and a bar area for single folks. The Tick-Tock is a medium sized-diner, built in the Art Deco style. After having observed the Fieri Effect at the Jefferson Diner (which will come in a later review), we decided to test our theory at the Tick-Tock. Built in 1948, it has served legions of bored youth coming home to Jersey after a night in NYC. This was observed at the Tick-Tock, a legendary diner in eastern New Jersey. It causes two things to happen to a diner: After dining at several diners reviewed on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" on the Food Network, we have identified the "Guy Fieri Effect".
