This Jersey landmark can look like an eyesore or a sight for sore eyes, depending upon your mood and the time of day. Although the Tick Tock is an original art deco diner built in 1949, it has been restored over the years to consistently maintain its shiny chrome and enamel exterior and its impossibly bright interior. The neon clock and "Eat Heavy" sign are the only remaining original fixtures, and still guarantee that you can enjoy big plates of food around the clock. Its peak hours are from midnight until 3 am, when clubbers, party folk and late-night people of all sizes, shapes, and ages converge upon the diner on their way home. During these hours, the bright neon structure looks its most attractive on otherwise dreary Route 3, a major artery connecting millions of suburban dwellers to Manhattan and the Meadowlands complex. The prime location, huge menu, heaping portions, inviting booths, and lively scene make this an easy to ward off a hangover. Sunday brunch is also busy here, so prepare to wait in line for the Tick Tock's famous eggs, blintzes, or "disco fries" smothered in gravy and cheese.

    We used to frequent the Tick Tock Diner all the time but the past couple of years things have really gone down hill. The food may taste fine if you're drunk at 3:00 am but for those of us who dine during the day while sober it just doesn't measure up. The last two times we were there our food was served burnt even though we were the only customers in the place. No excuses. And the service we experienced was terrible. Our waitress disappeared after bringing our food never even offering a refill for our coffee. We go to the River Edge Diner now and are very pleased. It's far superior to Tick Tock Diner. As far as we're concerned you need to be drunk to not mind the inferior food and service.
