I came here with my friend when I was visiting her in New Jersey. The place is huge with plenty of seating, but was not very busy when we came. Our waitress never brought us any water. When I asked...

Went here last weekend, because none of us had eaten and we wanted diner food. I'd heard much about this place, and wanted to try it out, so we did. It was yummy and it filled the void. It's well...

A New Jersey Diner Tradition! Don't look for more than it is. Have some disco fries and laugh a little with a friend.

This diner is ridiculous, in a good way. Although a little overpriced, I am proud to say I can find a diner where they actually make veggie/garden burgers from scratch, that aren't from a freezer-box....

Tick-Tock is a good place to stop if you're driving by on Route 3, but don't go out of your way. It's pretty much just a standard Jersey diner, but the service can be spotty.

I've been here a few times after Giants games, and never been disappointed. It is usually very crowded, but the service does not suffer. The prices are reasonable and for a diner, there are TONS of options....

This is one of the classic diners in NJ, and a great place to stop on the way back from the city. From time to time you'll even catch radio stations broadcasting from here late nite or for special events. Good...

New Jersey is the only place to experience an authentic Diner in America, and the Tick-Tock Diner is a great example! It is a true diner, and I high recommend it!

I had a horrible experience here. The menu was dirty, the table was sticky, they screwed up a simple drink order. To play it safe, and since it is a well-known Jersey diner, I ordered chicken...

I love the Tick Tock. It's been the end of many long nights out with friends for about ten years now. Show up at this place around 2 or 3 AM and you'll find it's packed with the bar crowd. The...

There is some decent food here but the atmosphere is more like a zoo or an airport than a place to ingest food on purpose. I agree that it is certainly coasting on its former glory and the fact that...

Wildly overrated these days, living off of former glory, the Tick Tock is famous for its quintessential Jersey Diner roots. Jean Shepherd made the place famous in his radio broadcasts and television...
