Tick Tock Diner, an iconic symbol of the American diner with locations in both Midtown Manhattan and Clifton, New Jersey, has mastered the art of casual dining, providing customers with high quality ingredients, generous portions at a reasonable price and a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere that keeps them coming back year after year.

    The staff were rude, the whole place is dated and the food was mediocre. There was hardly anyone in there, yet they squashed us between two families. The sweet potato chips were hard but my omelette was ok. I would not recommend this place, there are plenty of other lovely restaurants about.

    Such a shame. Food was rubbish, straight out of the freezer. If you expect something here, you most likely aren’t going to get it. Such a shame because the prices would suggest you are getting a normal meal… however it was terrible. The service though was ok, our lovely waitress was very kind and considerate and the bar staff all had smiles. However, for a very expensive dinner, and still tipping 20% this place is not worth it.

    Because of its location, this place hops when something's happening at Madison Square Garden. We had a party of 12, but they do a nice job a keeping things moving though.
