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 280 seat Midtown Manhattan location opened in 1997 at 481 8th Avenue (corner of 34th Street), across the street from Penn Station. Tick Tock Diner has long been known for its American comfort food. Today, it remains true to tradition while offering more dining choices than ever before on its extensive menu, accented with Italian, Greek and Tex-Mex influences. Keeping in the diner tradition, breakfast is served all day, featuring more than a dozen omelets, farm fresh eggs any style, pancakes, Belgian waffles and French toast.

    We really enjoyed our casual, comfortable dinner at Tick Tock Diner! We made reservations for six people at 6pm on a Monday night in February. We were greeted upon arrival and seated in a comfortable booth for six. The menu offers a great selection and includes breakfast all day. The cheeseburger was excellent and perfectly prepared to my request. In our group, one person had the French onion soup and a bagel, and said both were fine. Another had a chicken avocado wrap and said that it was one of the best she’s ever eaten. Our server was very efficient and made ordering and paying very easy. I would definitely return to the Tick Tock Diner.

    Wait service was excellent. Food was delish. It was a freezing cold day in NY so when the door kept opening it made the room very cold.

    We had a reservation.... which they didn't seem to care about..... menu lacking adequate options for breakfast. We sat for 15-20 minutes..... nobody even took a drink order. Disgusted, we left before ordering.
