So, apparently Tick Tock is a New Year’s tradition for some of our friends and we tagged along this year. As long as I live just down the road this will be one of my hang outs. The live music on Friday can get a bit loud so if you are looking to talk, don’t go on a Friday. Trivia night, karaōke, and even live music. Burgers are spot on and come on a great bun! They like to have fun at Tick Tock.
Chicken with jalapeño wrapped in bacon, deep fried and tossed in buffalo sauce. The menu is pretty simple but everything is solid. These Bloody Mary’s are a one and done for me however I have friends who will have 2 – 3. It also helps that each Bloody Mary is topped with bacon, tater tots, pepperoni and cheese, olives, and of course celery. Tick Tock has a bacon infused vodka that gives their Bloody Mary an extra depth. What is special about their Bloody Mary you might ask - the vodka. Sunday’s will bring you $ 4 local beers, $ 3 mimosas, and of course the famous $ 10 Bloody Mary. Each day there are select food and drink specials - Monday has a great $ 5 burger and fries. The bar has plenty of seating as well so take your pick. Most of the tables are round pub tables, perfect for group conversation. The dinning room isn’t huge but has enough room for everyone. Always close by, they do not bug you, just around if you need something. Lets talk staff, and I really wish I knew everyone’s name, as often as I have been going I should know them right off the bat! The staff is wonderful. A local hang out that isn’t packed to the gills with loud college crowds or stuffy suits - just able to relax and enjoy the company you brought. I feel pretty lucky to live just down the road from Tick Tock Lounge. We will totally stop in when in the area again to try out more menu items… IF I can stay away from a repeat rendezvous with that tenderloin… They have a great list of local craft beers which are only $ 4 on Wednesdays (also Karaōke night), and seem to run specials most days of the week. Overall - it’s a totally casual/divey joint, but super clean inside with friendly patrons.
Good endorsement as this dude knows some chicken fingers. As for lunch, my tenderloin was AMAZING… thick, not pounded out wet battered not crumbly on a perfectly lightly toasted bun - so juicy and tasty! Added mustard, tomato, and extra pickles - LOVED it! The hubs loved his dry battered chicken tenders and voiced ‘these are the real deal’ on a few occasions. When I talked with our bartender later (I should have brought it up to her sooner, my bad), she said to order it extra spicy next time as they tend to make them mild for those with a sensitivity to spice. How was this possible? I grabbed some Franks, some shakes of black pepper, and eventually threw in the pickles and juice from my tenderloin to make it even close to tasty for me. Man! I had it so hyped in my mind! Hmmm… it’s missing something. Took a sip… and…bland… wah-wah (sad trombone). Our server explained that the $ 10 deluxe Bloody Mary is set apart from the ‘usual’ Bloody Mary because, aside from the garnish, it also contains the house infused bacon and jalapeño vodkas! Get. I could see flakes of horseradish floating around in the mix and began to get super happy. This beast comes with a skewer of tater tots, a rib of celery, a crispy slice of bacon, and a skewer of alternating green olives, cheddar cheese cubes, and pepperoni. I’m not kidding you when I say that the garnish on the Deluxe Bloody Mary is a mixed bag snacky appetizer in and of itself.
We then ordered lunch and out came my Bloody Mary snack. Think glass ice tea server with spigot but tipsy-er. WOWZA! Hello Saturday afternoon! Of note, the Tick Tock infuses their own flavored vodkas behind the bar in glass dispenser-type jars - today’s flavors were bacon, jalapeño, pineapple, citrus, coffee, and mixed berry. We took fellow Unilocaler Vam’s suggestion and started lunch off propa with 2 shots of the house coffee infused vodka. We mentioned the infamous Bloody Mary and she noted it would take a while to prepare the garnish, so we gladly hunkered down for the experience. It stayed pretty low-key throughout our visit and the bartender also ended up being our attentive server. There appeared to be a few ‘regulars’ at the bar and only one other table of people in the seating area when we arrived. css-uqx86q.Tick Tock! How many times have I stared longingly at the Unilocal pics of your deluxe Bloody Mary? (the answer is more than 10 and less than 237) We decided to make the trek in to the Tick Tock Lounge around lunch time on a Saturday and the place was fairly empty.
