| - If I'm to believe the stories my family tells me, my great grandmother (on mom's side) was an old Irish battle ax who'd tell those that got in her way, "kiss my ass under Kaufman's clock at noon!" Apparently she never ate at the Tic Toc cafe because if she had she'd know the real insult would have been to recommend dining there.
I get there's some nostalgia to the place, but it doesn't make up for the service or the food. This was the second time the wife and I stopped in for lunch, the first time was not so great but we figured we'd give them a second try. After attempting to order half the the menu, and being repeatedly told they were 'out of that', we settled on a chicken sandwich and omelette. After waiting about 20 minutes, the server came back and told my wife they couldn't make her sandwich. She ordered two more things before they told 'oh yeah, we have that.'
After another 15 minutes plates came out and were put down at our table. My wife went to take a bite and it was the wrong sandwich. I looked at my omelette and it was the wrong omelette! The dishes went back, we waited another 5 minutes, and just about when we went to get up the food we actually ordered arrived (well, they gave me ham instead of bacon but at that point I didn't care). On top of all that, the servers were unattentive (both this time and the last) and seemed preoccupied with who knows what.
As for the food itself? The wife's Ruben was super greasy and my eggs tasted like they came from a carton.
In Tic Toc's defense, they did cover the check, but we will not be going back. This is the first 1 star review I've given and I feel bad doing it, but I feel like it is well deserved.
The manager did say they were 'working things out' and have had some issues lately, but with so many other great downtown options, I recommend passing on Tic Toc.
