Tic Toc caters lunch to our company twice a week. The Tic Toc employees are great people - very friendly. Any smoked meat from here is insane - full of nice, smokey flavor and is fall off the bone tender. They have the best BBQ in CR imo and quite possibly some of the best I've had anywhere. The green beans and baked beans as sides are wonderful. The smoked chicken is particularly good. read more

I just don't understand why they can't get their ribs tender and hot....Have been going there for years, food is never consistent. Onion rings are great half the time , under or over cooked. Have talked to owner several times.....Quit going for 6 months, then finally went back , Thursday night, rib night, same problem....Guess owner just doesn't care, place needs good cleaning,...... read more

Great bar - the best mozzerella sticks in town

Tic toc is a great place to drown your sorrows, but not the best place to get dinner. Good deep fried bar food if that's what you are in the mood for though. Cheers ! read more

Love love love love the mozz sticks and fried pickles. When you're in the mood for good and greasy food this is the place for you. They also have Fox Barrel cider which is Awesome. read more

Was the worst food I ever had! Lettuce was old & brown, ribeye steak sandwich was spoiled, & they just placed it on a plain price of white sandwich bread! My husband could not even want to finish his tenderloin sandwich either. Only thing that they did well was the glass of water. Never will go there or recommend this place to anyone! Pray we do not get food poisoning! read more

Excellent little pub with great food.I had the ribs and chicken from their smokehouse menu (available Friday & Saturday) and it was excellent. Since I saw everyone promoting the cheesestix, I had to try those as well and they were excellent. The English pub atmosphere just added to the experience. I plan on returning eventually, but I have so many more places to try in CR. read more

Tic Toc - Some of the decor, the walls are just covered with stuff. - Pubs Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

See all

A group of friends goes here weekly to enjoy fried food and drink specials. The service is not the greatest, but it has a familiar charm where you don't mind if a small mistake is made. The portion sizes are very large and well worth the money. Any of the fried appetizers are highly recommended, and if you want to try multiple, you can get a sampler platter. The pulled pork sandwiches are also highly recommended. read more

Very good food at a reasonable price. The outside may not look all that appealing but this is why you don't judge a book by it's cover. We used to live in Iowa City and we would frequent Tic Toc often. One of my favorite little places in Cedar Rapids to visit. read more

The best sweet potato fries ever comes with brown sugar sauce to dip delicious!! Great laid back atmosphere. One of my favorite places.

HUGE quality drop off since the beginning of 2016. The last time I was in in June of 2016, I was not only very disappointed that they had NO beer (and would not admit to having lost, or perhaps not renewed, their license), but the meal was incorretly filled (guys, I wanted half order of fried mushrooms to go with my half order of chicken wings with mild sauce, not half chicken wings mild sauce and chicken wings dry). Anyhow, the half year long death spiral of the Tic Toc is now complete: The restaurant that had been the mainstay of a neighborhood for generations, is now closed. read more

Fantastic bbq and fantastic service, combine that with very reasonable prices and its one if the best places in cr.

Service was a bit slow but the food was fantastic. Lost of interesting things on the walls to stare at while you wait, so the slow service was not a huge deal. read more

This place is truly a gem. Found this place after buying the groupon for it and read the reviews and gave it a shot. Boy am I glad I went to this place. The BBQ are to die for and well worth the money. Probably near 1 pound of pork and the portion size makes Texas look small. The Pork sandwich was tasty and their house sauce is sweet. The potato skins you would have to keep an eye on because they burnt ours the first time. They were filling up near peak lunch hours but the waitress was still attentive and caring. read more

I f had a tenderloin and was small,not appealing to the eye. I am wondering when the last time the grease was changed. Will not be frequenting here. read more

We literally go here on average of once a week. Love the variety of choices and Smokehouse on the weekends cannot be beat locally. They always have coupons in the Penny Saver that can save you a few bucks each time you visit. They also have great daily specials - $5 pitchers on Saturdays, $5 wings on Monday - the list goes on and on! read more

The place is filthy- thick dust on the light fixtures, etc. Last time I ate there I saw a waitress drop someone's sandwich on the floor, pick it up and proceed to serve it to the customer. Yikes! Can't bring myself to eat there any more even though I like the tenderloins. read more

I used to go eve;y Thursday for their BBQ and fries. Wonderful. I have been there a few times in the past couple of years and noticed decline in the cooking. This Saturday I had the smoked two piece chicken, hashbrown casserole and the sweet potato casserole. HORRIBLE. The Two pieces were actually one piece with something that had no meat attached to it. The chicken was so dry then when I tried to cut into something that I thought was meat, it just cracked open and one piece flew in the air that is how dry it was. I think it was white meat. The Hashbrown Casserole was not done, just enough to melt the cheese on top and the potatoes and onions were raw. The sweet potato casserole was gray and the amount was only enough to fill the small side dish. It was bitter tasting and there was one small nut in it. I assume from the bitter gray taste that it was over a day old. NEVER AGAIN. Another formally pretty good CR place down the tubes. read more

This used to be one of the better places to go and eat. I've noticed recently in my last few visits that one of my favorite waiters is no longer there. When I inquired as to the whereabouts I got a very snide reply from the waitress waiting on us. The bartender that was working the evening me and my family were there almost argued every time one of the way people asked for a drink he also had this look of confusion about him like he did not know what he was doing. My wife mentioned the possibility of him being on something and when I went to the bathroom and took a closer look at him the man look like he was baked out of his mind. It seems to take forever to get our meal my wife's order was wrong. Mine was half warm half cold the quality of the meat was poor at best and when I inquired as to whether or not the owner was there the response I got from the waitress was he never is. He works at Perkins now. What? How does someone that owns a restaurant work at another one? Obviously no supervision at all whatsoever. Personally it's just a matter of time before tick tock closes its doors. And rightfully so they just don't have what it takes anymore and I will not be going there nor my family and I am making sure to let everyone know when an absolutely horrible and disgusting experience it was. Unprofessional staff unprofessional bartender everyone seemed to be at each others throats I heard arguing in the kitchen lots of swearing and again I ask who's supervising these people? Apparently the circus was full up. Good riddance tic toc. read more

Love this hole-in-the-wall! Just in town for a few days, but the service was above expectation. The drinks were not only priced well and taste good, but they said we were there close enough to happy hour and still got the discounts. The appetizers and the main dishes were absolutely magnificent! The only downside were the sides, but everything else more than made up for this! read more

We have been to the Tic Toc many times over the years. We had a party of 5 last night. Every single order was wrong. My friend ordered a Toc burger with no lettuce, tomato and a side salad. She received her burger with all the fixins and fries. Had to wait on the salad. I ordered (2) rib eye sandwiches, for myself and my husband. We were told they only had one left. So I changed my order to a TOC burger with onion rings. (I ordered 1st) My husband's steak sandwich showed up on white bread, as opposed to the hoagie roll as listed in the menu. Really? We ordered a full order of Mozz sticks and were delivered a 1/2 order. That was fixed. I was finally served last, with french fries and finally received my onion rings by the time everyone was finished eating. IT appeared that the waitress was also cooking. The bartender ran back and tried helping her by delivering us our food. She apologized over and over again. I do not blame her. They clearly were not fully staffed, and this was at 6 PM on a Monday night! Very disappointing meal and we will definately NOT be back. Short staffed, wrong orders, waited on small plates for appetizers, had to ask for silverware. All orders were wrong. The only good thing was the mozz sticks. read more

This place used to be great and has the potential to be so again. I have been frequenting the place since the late 1990's. I work late, and very few real (not drive through) places have their kitchens open late anymore. After going there several Friday nights in a row and being told the kitchen closes earlier and earlier every time (it's been 9pm or before), I have given up on that idea. It's like the servers and bar tenders want to go home and don't care if paying patrons want to eat. I did go there during the day once last month and I was very impressed that someone actually took the time to CLEAN everything... The chandeliers, the walls, the shelves on the bar... Someone finally must have had enough. It looked cleaner than it has been in YEARS. SO much better. I also want to say that there is one female server who has been there FOREVER and is NEVER friendly. I can't be the only one who notices. The salads need an huge overhaul (the lettuce is always a bagged mix and it's almost always slimy or brown when I get one). Highlights are the smoked meat and the Friday all you can eat fish. They really need to shop their competitors and kick it up a notch or they're going to get buried. I want this place to stay open forever. Please find a way to reconnect with your lost customers. read more
