Why Travelers Love Tick Tock
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I really liked Tick Tock! It’s a classic American restaurant with generous portions, a varied menu, fair prices, and great service. One nice detail is that it has direct access to the New Yorker Hotel lobby, a beautiful spot worth checking out. They deliver on everything you could expect out of a 24 hour diner. I was able to order breakfast for late dinner and it was hot and tasty. I should call out that my French toast was made exactly how I like it. Perfection. And my shake was delicious. Has a perfect diner atmosphere and hits the spot. No complaints and would go again Very nice service from Javier. The food was great. I had a corned beef Reuben. And the coffee was also very good. I got a free coffee refill. Overall it hit the spot. I wish I would've tried the key lime pie but I was stuffed.

So funny story about how I got to this place . We were looking for a place to eat after leaving MSG. My brother found a diner so figured it would please everyone. I originally said sure I never been to TikTok diner so should be fun to see what the vibe is like. Not realizing it was Tick Tock like a clock lol. Needless to say it was still a good place to eat. The place feels a little tight but what should you expect for NYC real estate. The food was good our service was pretty fast. The waiter wasn’t pushy and checking in on us every second but available if we needed anything. It worth a try and wasn’t too busy midday on a Saturday.

If you want the full diner experience, they've got the full diner experience. Just a pop over from the train hall this place has it all. Expansive menu? check. Pretty good prices? check. Interior decor that is one of kind and probably hand made by a guy's friend's buddy in the mid 90s? Absolutely. To rate this anything less than 5 stars would be sin
