I kept hearing people rave about the Tick Tock Diner in Clifton, and for the longest time, I had no idea what the hype was all about.
Well, I finally decided to see what the fuss was—and let me tell you, the hype is very real. People have been talking about this place forever, and now I get why.
I don’t know why it took me so long to go, but I finally made it to the diner everyone in Jersey seems obsessed with, and wow—this place didn’t just live up to the buzz, it blew right past it.
From the outside, it’s got that classic Jersey diner look. Inside, it feels like stepping into a time capsule, but in the best, most nostalgic way. I walked in thinking I’d order something simple, but the second I saw the menu, I panicked—in a good way. So. Many. Options.
What Did We Order at Tick Tock?
My Husband Went with The Ultimate Diner Go-To: Grilled Cheddar on Rye with Tomato, Cooked Perfectly, with A Side of Fries.
One of Our Friends Got a Massive Turkey Club, and The Homemade Mac and Cheese? Total Scene-Stealer. As for the Disco Fries—yep, the Rumors Are True. Easily the Best in New Jersey.
I Had the Egg White Omelet with Spinach, Mushrooms, Peppers, Tomato, and Onion. Sounds Basic, Right? But it Was Hands-Down the Best Omelet I’ve Ever Had. No Joke.
Everything Was Delicious, the Portions Were Huge, and No One Was Leaving that Table Hungry. The service was quick, the staff was super friendly, and The Whole Vibe Just Radiated that Cozy, Comforting Diner Energy.
Tick Tock Isn’t Just a Meal—It’s an Experience. It’s the Taste of Jersey, Through and Through. and Yes, I Already Have My Order Planned for Next Time.
