I spent 2 years working in East Rutherford, NJ on the overnight shift. 3 12 hour shifts, Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Not a lot is open, at least back in the early 1990's. But the Tick Tock Diner...24 x 7 back then. Now, I wouldn't be able to enjoy a meal at Tick Tock during my shift as I'd go to lunch about 1 am. They are only open 7 am to 10 pm now. What a great diner! Their menu was ridiculously huge! My favorites are their Philly Cheese Steak and Tuna Club. Service back then, even at 1 am, was great! I don't miss working overnights, but do miss those lunches at the Tick Tock Diner!
as a Clifton, NJ local, I can confidently say that Tick Tock Diner is incredibly mid. everybody in my town knows that the way better option is to go a mile or two down allwood road to the Allwood Diner and you’ll have a much better experience there.
Thanks for the rec! Always appreciate getting a local tip. I found Tick Tock Diner good compared to most average diners in NJ but no surprise there are better local options there
My grandfather built and ran two diners on Long Beach Island, in south Jersey, so it is both sweet memories and good eats for me. The Barnegat Light diner is for sale after many years now. Great review!
I lived down the street from the Tick Tock on Passaic Avenue 30 years ago, and have great memories of eating there with my Dad when he came to visit. At any NJ diner, I would usually stick to the basics, usually a beer and burger or breakfast, and was never disappointed. At the beginning of the video, there was a brief shot of the VIP in Jersey City, my other "hometown diner" during the 4 years I lived in NJ. I went crazy when I saw the VIP on a Sopranos episode - Christopher Moltisanti took his girlfriend there for a late night meal.
Can't wait to catch this episode! I just had a conversation about how we're losing all the old school diners, and the Kellogg's in Brooklyn went into bankruptcy last week. There's only one left by me from the 5 or 6 I grew up with in Queens. Gotta keep them going!
Yeah it's definitely a shame that as newer different kinds of American restaurants open the old-school diners are dying out along the way. Hope the good ones can manage to stick around!
I decided to officially follow you, I find that you love the food you consume. You are very much someone who knows what they are talking about and I hope you continue to do what you love!
Hey Bud, the crew over here just wanted to inform you that the pork roll at this diner isn't the "Taylor" brand. This unique flavor you experienced is a competitor called "CASE" pork roll. We believe but aren't entirely positive their manufacturing facility is in Trenton, NJ - Hope this helps Yo ! 👉. 🐷. 💯
I knew you had a bit of a South Jerz accent. That must also explain the random Eagles gear in some vids. Anyway, looks like a nice spot. Yes its Pork Roll and the Disco Fries seem different depending on locality. Anyway cool vids, great reviews and #gobirds
Yeah! Though sadly most of the diners are dying out as people move on to more diverse, healthier, and newer styles of cuisine. Glad you enjoyed my Tick Tock video haha
They are still all over the place. Back in the day a lot were open 24x7 and the only other place open overnight was some 7-11s. Now there are the Wawa and Quick Check options and more so like mentioned many close in the evening. The old classic, and still around with limited hours is the Princetonian Diner on Route 1. Mastoris closed just after Covid and was a very large diner that catered to travelers and a lot of buses. I live in North Jersey now and they even renovated a diner in Andover. But one on 206 was sold for a Quick Chek. Back in college in Westchester County there was the Port Chester diner (still around) that served massive portions for the weekend nights crowds.
UA - You missed the ham on the Grand Slam! The bacon looked like fire! :) Also, that said, the Mick Jagger looked absolutely epic. One thing I do, and I'll get roasted for this. Those disco fries could have used a little side of ketchup and pepper... There, I said it. :P
Recently I've been considering the number of diners as a factor in whether I want to travel somewhere. Good to know NJ has a lot. I might visit Atlantic City, I see they have a bunch there that look easy to get to. I liked the diners in Pittsburgh too, around the Strip.
I love! I grew up with diners as my go-to, and most are now gone. Even in my neighborhood in Queens, one closed a few weeks ago. I have only 1 left, and I hope it holds out. The history and nostalgia that accompanies these places is amazing. Gotta say, I've had some drunk nights that were finished with disco fries and brown gravy! Their music sounds good, too.... Sussudio and Longest Time in there. I know you can't play it, but people will appreciate knowing there's good music. I grew up with the nickle jukebox at every booth in a diner! As always, another great review, and thanks for the memories!
Thanks for sharing your memories! Yeah where I grew up in South Jersey most of the diners have closed down in my town. Great restaurants have opened in their place but it is a bit sad
Hi. I live in Queens and often ride my motorcycle to diners. Yes a number of great diners have shutdown in recent times. Which one closed last? I used to love Seven Seas in long Island. They closed recently.
@@2Wheels_NYC Yes ride safe! I have a Zero FXS. It's electric. Top is 85mph. 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. I love it. No heat, no tuneups. At 60mph I get about 35 miles. City riding I get about 60 miles.
The reasonable prices are highly subjective. As for real maple syrup, most restaurants have a surcharge for the real stuff, around $2 for 3oz. That is why when I do pancakes and French toast, it is done at home.
I thought for the size of the portions the prices were very fair, though I can't speak to the lunch items. I will say though that prices have gotten really high lately in general in North Jersey and NYC. Also I have a bad habit of saying "maple syrup" when referring to any syrup paired with pancakes, my mistake.
Great review as always UA, but I'm a little surprised to hear a foodie like you refer to Mrs, Butterworth's pancake syrup as maple syrup. That stuff is just chemicals, coloring and sugar water. The wife and I always take little bottles of real maple syrup when we eat out. It makes a world of difference.
Ah I have a bad habit of calling any syrup paired with pancakes maple syrup. Yes I'm aware Mrs. Butterworth is as generic as it gets and I shouldn't add "maple" in front of it
Agreed on both counts. UA always gives a fair, honest review and does so in a homey style, never sounding uppity or snooty with his reviews. But I also agree about referring to Mrs. Butteryuck as maple syrup. When I know I'm going to have pancakes in a restaurant, I take no chances by always bringing true maple syrup with me.
I’m a south Jersey guy myself. And like you said were the diner capital. My last count there was 527 in Jersey. And I’ve been to half. If you travel from the south to north on 47 you’ll hit a lot of great ones.
Taylor Ham is a brand. You are right. It's Pork Roll. Cool show🤙. When I visit my fam. I'll definitely check it out. My family is in Spotswood, East Brunswick and Toms River🤙
Hi UA! I have eaten at Tic Toc Diner several times. It was always excellent! The coffee is delicious. The salads are excellent. Their tuna is fantastic too. My one complaint is that nothing can be substituted for fries! For example if you get a tuna wrap but say no fries, you still pay the same price and if you order a side of veggies you pay the full side price. Shouldn't there be a lower price if the side is instead of fries? I began ordering salads to avoid the fry issue. But otherwise it is an excellent diner! I personally prefer diners to other kinds of restaurants for a number of reasons. Pricing is not an issue for me.
The best pancakes I’ve eaten are ones I get anywhere I have them in Las Vegas. Maybe it has something to do with the low humidity but they are great anyplace you eat them in L.V.
I prefer eggs on a separate dish from pancakes. Runny eggs ruin the pancakes for me. Prices seem high to me. Except the eggs with home fries, that was reasonable.
Years (decades) ago I would get disco fries and coffee when coming home from a late night out. The diner I used to frequent (Cedar Lane Grill, now gone) would serve the gravy in a coffee cup on the side. I drink coffee with milk. Many times I dipped my fries in coffee or took a nice slug of gravy.
Ah you're up in Clifton this time. Tick tock is great. It's famous for the Sopranos. I wonder if they still serve disco fries there. Enjoy your meal UA.
Great review as always however I'm a Clifton native born and raised been out of the area since 98 now in Los Angeles glad to see the tiktok is still there but it's nothing like it used to be back in the hay day obviously not owned by Greeks anymore which the majority of New Jersey diners are they just know how to do it those Disco Fries were horrible the cheese wasn't even melt it and the Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich not to get into that big debate between North and South Jersey with pork roll Taylor Ham conflict and the prices on the menu yikes the pancakes were definitely forgettable there are way better diners than the tick tock anyhow you should consider doing a comparison video of the famous hot Grill in Clifton compare to rutt's Hut that should be a good one for you to do Texas weiners hot dogs all the way !!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts as a Clifton native! Yeah I'm hearing consistently that Tick Tock has declined in quality but as an outsider I still enjoyed it. A hot dog vid is a good idea!
Pork roll and disco fries " you make a grown man cry" give Skylark in Edison a shot the lounge gets a little lively at nite with drink specials , Lunch or dinner shrimp and scallops and a Cuban sandwich with fries. Edison dinner right up the street breakfast good portions and price. 💜
You know it's a diner not owned by Greeks when the sausage isn't the fat links. I love diner food. Americana diner has steak fries which are my favorite.
If you are not aware, New Jersey is almost as expensive as New York with their prices of food. It's just inflation so if you want to experience the Diner vibe, people will pay these prices.
I've never been before a few weeks ago so I'm not familiar with how it was before. I thought the prices, while not low, were reasonable for the portion sizes and for the NYC/North Jersey area
@@uaeats ok I went there when it was the older owners the original owners and I liked it much better. I went with the new owners one cent was unhappy with the quality and quantity of the food and the price
Not really that expensive for what he got. I know some places that will charge $10 for two eggs toast and potatoes. Then add on another four dollars for bacon
@@petergoldberg6293 Agreed, I can't speak to the lunch items, but I thought the breakfast items were fairly priced considering the large portion size. Tasty too.
I like UA's context and some of his reviews but I am having difficult watching more. Every new food, he closes his eyes tightly, chews frenetically and says "Ummm" and then "Aww" . You need a little more food reactions to make me want to watch more than 3 videos.
4:19 OMG, my arteries are whimpering just looking at this! :) "prices really reasonable" I think I'm just visiting this plane of existence. I think UA just blew $35 (including tax, and before tip) in this place.
Ah well the prices are not cheap but I think for the huge portion it's worth it. I can't speak to the lunch items though. I've haven't tried them, though I will say they do look pricey...
I personally find it a big turn off that the syrup came in those little pre-packaged containers. A real diner should serve syrup in a big ol' glass bottle.

You hit the nail on the head.
Thanks for the rec! Always appreciate getting a local tip. I found Tick Tock Diner good compared to most average diners in NJ but no surprise there are better local options there
Agree with this sentiment
I dont believe another diner can top this menu in same quality/price

Oh shoot I did!

Didn't know New Jersey was the diner capital of the world. "I got my food like Jagger" made me laugh! 😂 Thanks for the Tick Tock recommendation.

During snowstorms, they usually have a reporter stationed there telling you not to go to work if you don't have to.
Great idea! I can't wait to see your review!!

you need to try real poutine. Quebec curds and gravy on fries...totally awesome...Canadian here..
Yeah Vancouverite here this is not even close to real Poutine like we have here
Shoutout to Chit Chat Diner in West Orange for serving real maple syrup with all breakfast orders
Wow that sounds awesome!
pancakes probably would get better if you would put the syrup on them along with the butter
great review ,i like your site
Thanks!
Keep it going lover ur content.
I love your videos! You are so cute, friendly, and funny. Much love from here in Vietnam!
Welcome to North Jersey 😎
If you can find out where they buy their Taylor Ham, you can make your own Mick Jagger Sandwich….
I’m a south Jersey guy myself. And like you said were the diner capital. My last count there was 527 in Jersey. And I’ve been to half. If you travel from the south to north on 47 you’ll hit a lot of great ones.
Cool! I would hit them all up if I could
Shore Diner on Tilton Road in Egg Harbor Township near Atlantic City. Great Lamb Chops. Harbor Diner on White Horse Pike in Egg Harbor. Best soups.
I've been to the location in NYC and it's actually pretty good - and the prices are really VERY competitive for NYC prices.

I went to the one by 34th. Is that the same?
I wonder this too or if they are the same owners
It is a second branch but the Clinton, NJ location is the original location
Great video, love the singing,
, you should do it more 👏🏻💯
Thanks!
I’m waiting for when you will do a review of a Polish restaurant in Brooklyn.
Good idea!
makes sense!
good job bro keep it up
The TikTok diner!
prices have been doubled
Get some ketchup on that thang...
You're now the Jedi of buttering one-handed!
I have a high midichlorian count
Try throwing on jalapeño jelly to a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich. It’s awesome
That does sound good!
Love your style.
The best pancakes I’ve eaten are ones I get anywhere I have them in Las Vegas. Maybe it has something to do with the low humidity but they are great anyplace you eat them in L.V.
That pancake plate is average at best. To pay $16, you got ripped brotha.
Wow I know this diner I remember going here once more then ten years ago when I worked a few blocks away glad to see there still around
Yeah I hear most people from North Jersey have been at least 1-2 times
Heart Attack on a plate 😆😉.
I prefer eggs on a separate dish from pancakes. Runny eggs ruin the pancakes for me.
Prices seem high to me. Except the eggs with home fries, that was reasonable.
what a great diner! maybe you can go back and try something else in the future. i watched this while hungry so my lunch is gonna be insane.
I definitely want to return and try something for lunch sometime. Hope your lunch was as epic as predicted!
UA can you please do a video on a pork roll as you are from south jersey ! Please
Good idea!
New Jersey version of Poutine :D. Looks so tasty!
Years (decades) ago I would get disco fries and coffee when coming home from a late night out. The diner I used to frequent (Cedar Lane Grill, now gone)
would serve the gravy in a coffee cup on the side. I drink coffee with milk. Many times I dipped my fries in coffee or took a nice slug of gravy.
Very tasty!
Ah you're up in Clifton this time. Tick tock is great. It's famous for the Sopranos. I wonder if they still serve disco fries there. Enjoy your meal UA.
The do still have disco fries! I ordered some in the vid
@@uaeats Brings me back to my college days. Cheers!
the grand slam was a bit high, especially since they don't even provide real maple syrup.
the mick jagger seemed a fair value though.
Taylor ham is like spiced or chopped ham not bologna . Taylor brand is best but Case is OK. Classic diner . I remember when Mick Jagger was there
In Philly it’s called “Taylor Pork Roll”.
was that a piece of grey hair on the fries?
That's pork roll is something I can make at home for like $2.
Riveredge diner a couple miles north is the real spot.
That is one expensive pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich with some fries…..

True. Gotta love those Greek diners!
Disco fries 13$$$ Holy Shit! That is pricey!
Not sure how large the portion is. The ones that came with my dish though were a very large portion
Was there a hair in the French fries?
I went to the Tik Tok once, decades ago. Maybe it changed owners but my experience was nothing like yours. That's why I never went back
I heard Tops was the famous one in NJ?
It went downhill a long time ago.
Not the Tick Tock that many knew growing up in the
70’s, 80’s 90’s and then uhh oh 😣😖😫
UA wasn't there a piece of ham under the pancakes? I think you missed that on the review.
I did... Oops!
You know it's a diner not owned by Greeks when the sausage isn't the fat links. I love diner food. Americana diner has steak fries which are my favorite.
Yeah the sausages were quite disappointing
$9 for fries!
DINERS ARE NO LONGER "CHEAP" $13.00 FOR FRIES !!! INTERESTED TO KNOW IF THE FOOD IS WORTH THE HIGH PRICES ,ONLY THE BREFAST SEEMS REASONABLE!!!
I'm sorry, £16 for chicken wings starter!!!! £9 for French Fries!!!! Are they having us on?
If you are not aware, New Jersey is almost as expensive as New York with their prices of food. It's just inflation so if you want to experience the Diner vibe, people will pay these prices.
True some items appeared overpriced. The breakfast stuff was reasonably priced though considering the size

A great policy to have in life
It will be disappointing for sure. Much smaller menu than they used to have. Prices are too high

Maple syrup comes from a tree. Aunt Jamimah and Log Cabin does not.
In Baltimore fries and brown gravy has been around forever!
fries and gravy has always been a thing here in toronto as well. way before poutine.
Sounds delicious!

Ah well the prices are not cheap but I think for the huge portion it's worth it. I can't speak to the lunch items though. I've haven't tried them, though I will say they do look pricey...
For the price they should give you real syrup, Mrs. Butterworth is crap, the first two ingredients are high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup
The portion was very large so I still thought it was a fair price. But yes the syrup was lame quality. Not unusual for diners though
BRO…. YOU NEED TO DO A COLAB WITH A HOT GIRL
It's pork roll 100%...Taylor ham is for wasps!...
hahaha
