Tic Toc Room

Great location and great food! Their specialty entrees are superb as well as their signature cocktails.

Great service, delicious food. The home made dressings were fantastic. Also the interesting drinks were fun fun fun!

Everything we had to eat for dinner was delicious. The ribeye was exactly how we asked for it and the gouda mac and cheese was on point. I also got brave and ordered the shrimp tempura roll and it did not disappoint. Finally, the lobster visque had a great taste. I only wish it had been warmer, it came out a little cold. I didn’t ask if there was coffee, so I regret that.
Heads up, you can only eat at the bar which is super cozy if you’re not properly dressed.

This place is my jam when in Macon! The service is above and beyond, the martinis are world class and the food never disappoints. Don’t skip the tic toc!

Wow! I don’t even know where to start! First off our server, Don, was amazing! From start to finish he was spot on. We started with the tuna tartar which was absolutely fabulous. Then I had the crab cakes and my date had the strip with a Gorgonzola cream sauce. I have to say the strip was the best I have ever had, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. The crab cake had absolutely no fillers, all crab meat and the sauce complimented it perfectly. We ended the meal by sharing the crème brûlée which was the perfect topping to the meal. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal. The price we paid for what we got was very reasonable. Also I started with a dirty martini with blue cheese olives which was on point and my date has a ramblin man cocktail which he said was great. Then we switched to wine, the selection was wonderful and the wine we picked was perfect. I would go here again in a heart and would definitely recommend Don as a server, although he said all the servers were great.

Let’s not rave, but let’s not hate. It’s good on every measure. It’s consistently good on every measure. It’s not «Manhattan meets Macon» unless Manhattan came well more than halfway to meet us. But it’s certainly a cut above the norm around here. It’s not a bad value. The wine list is neurotic but you can something that complements what you’re eating. The cocktails are decent. The staff is the appropriate level of condescending and helpful.

The service was spot on and the atmosphere was okay. Calling this place Macon meets Manhattan is a bit of a stretch. Maybe my expectations were too high… My filet had no flavor at all. None. Maybe it was an off night in the kitchen? I’m not picky, either. No flavor at all. Tasted like pretty much nothing. I can’t say it enough. The little smear of Bernaise didn’t help it because it was just that. A smear. More of a garnish. My husbands «medium» New York Strip came out seared and rare inside. The server handled it like a pro. When he saw it, we didn’t even have to say anything because he said «that’s not medium.» It came back and was good. We won’t go back. It’s actually unfortunate because we really wanted to like it.
Again, the service was impeccable and the prices inexpensive coming from a big city, but that’s it. I’m still bummed about it.

The food was alright. I found hair in my sushi so I didn’t finish it and wasn’t able to get a refund, but the ostrich was yummy.

This was an excellent meal. Actually a great value for the quality of food. Service was as good as it gets. Nice wine list including excellent choices by the glass. I hate when they bring a small glass of wine and this place was not doing that. I’d say around ¹⁄₃ a bottle in that glass. I saw people eating steaks that looked extremely well prepared. We had the Blue Fin tartar small plate. Interesting and flavorful. I also ate seared tuna. Now I order seared tuna often. This was particularly good. Had an unusual charred flavor that I have not experienced before. Serviced with sautéed edamame and cabbage. Really good. Had interesting sushi as a side dish. My wife had onion soup that was also excellent. This has to be one of the best spots in Macon. It was actually recommended by a waiter in another restaurant! We will be back.

Really love this place for dinner or a drink. Have eaten at the bar several times and dining room. Service is always good and the food is fresh.

The food, beverages and service was amazing! Our waiter was exceptional. My partner ordered the Calamari and I started we the lobster bisque which were good. She had the fried chicken special and I indulged in the Shrimp & Grits which were good. The martinis were GREAT! Overall, a good experience.

Loved this place. Walked in without a reservation and were able to sit at a high top in the front. Service was so friendly and helpful.
Started with the tuna nigiri which wasn’t that great but the presentation was beautiful. We ordered the ostrich and the shrimp and grits. Both were delicious. I would have licked the bowl if it was socially acceptable to do so. And for dessert: s’mores! Compete with tiny fire pit.

If you only have a few meals in Macon, try the Tic Toc Room. Parking might be an issue, but other than that it is a perfect place for dinner.

I stopped by on a Thursday night and the place was pretty dead, so hard to gauge the atmosphere but I did enjoy the environment. I started with a Macon Manhattan and the lobster tacos, then moved on to the Osso Bucco entrée and finished with a crème brûlée. Everything was well prepared with good sized portions, and service was responsive and met the basic expectations. It certainly warrants a return trip next time in town.

My wife and I ate there this Friday evening. Everything was great, from the Pita Points and Hummas to the Lobster Bisque to the entrees. The mixed drinks were good and very reasonably priced. We had a very enjoyable evening and will definitely go back!

Real classy restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Good variety of dishes ranging from fish, chicken and steak to pasta and sushi. Bar has good mix of drinks available, too.
The place has some history with Little Richard and Otis Redding having played there in their humble beginnings.

I had the pleasure of dining here recently and was impressed by the flavor and presentation of the food. Let’s start with the downsides though. The sushi was delicious but quickly fell apart while eating. That’s a pet peeve of mine that could easily be fixed by making the rolls tighter. Also I ordered a dirty martini but received one that was up. I’m not sure if the bartender was an amateur but they got it right the second, and third time.
Our waiter, Jason, was delightful and gave very good recommendations of the best items in the menu. I had the Lobster Ravioli which was phenomenal. It was served with a cream based sauce with large shrimp that added to the decadence of the dish. All in all I had a great experience and will return if I find myself in Macon again.

I have mixed reviews about this place. It’s supposed to be upscale but some of the food items taste like they come out of a can. The Tomato mozzarella appetizer is horrible. They are not fresh tomatoes which is surprising. It’s a simple appetizer. The hummus is fantastic! The sushi is horrible. When the fish smells you know it’s bad and it surprises me that a high end place would serve subpar sushi. The Steak oscar was a good meal! Good portion and I liked the cocktails. They have a good happy hour! Not a huge fan but will come for cocktails again.

I went to the Tic Toc Room for a group dinner before a formal event. I had heard great things from friends so I was excited to come here, but I found the service and food to be disappointingly mediocre.
The server wasn’t very friendly or attentive and many of us were left sitting with empty glasses for long periods of time.
I ordered the Chived Lobster and Crab dip as an appetizer, and it was good but much smaller than I was expecting for $ 8.00. I ordered the Osso Bucco as an entrée (braised veal shank) with sides of Smoked Gouda Macaroni and Cheese and Oscar, Crab Meat and Hollaindaise. The veal was alright but I’ve had better. It certainly wasn’t worth the $ 26. The mac and cheese was pretty good. The Oscar was very bland and mushy and I didn’t even want to eat it; my date tried it and also didn’t like it.
To sum it up, maybe I just went on a bad night, but I found that the food and service were not worth the price. I will probably not come here again.

First, let’s get this out of the way. The complaint below about a poor Manhattan seems to have been someone’s attempt to prove they are reading way too much GQ Magazine. «One never shakes a Manhattan»? Really?
The Manhattan is my cocktail and I’ve ordered them in a million places. The one I got at the Tic Toc Room was solid — balanced and properly made. Plus, giving me the extra to add to my glass later (milkshake style) is a nice touch.
We had excellent service from the moment we arrived until the final farewell. The hostess, bartender and server each were pleasant, engaged and friendly — without overdoing it. The décor is cool but not haughty and the place doesn’t seem to be trying to be anything it isn’t.
I had the shrimp and grits and loved it. The grits were cheesy, which is how I like them; smooth and tasty. The andouille sausage added enough zest to balance the creamy grits and the shrimp were some of the tastiest I’ve had. These days, I half expect flavorless shrimp, even in high-​end places. These tasted like shrimp, which is a very good thing.
One of our party of four had the filet benedict, which was constructed beautifully (the addition of fresh asparagus worked nicely). The kitchen let the poached eggs go a half-​minute too long, but owned that mistake when it was pointed out and made it right in an instant. I mention this because too many places don’t seem to know how to handle the inevitable mistakes that will arise in any service. Tic Toc didn’t try to convince me the eggs were supposed to be that way or – as I’ve seen elsewhere — stare at us dumbly when told of the error. They acknowledged the mistake, apologized for it and fixed it in two minutes flat. No service is perfect, but your restaurant’s method of handling mistakes can be. Tic Toc’s response was perfect.
Pecan pie came in giant slabs with quality vanilla ice cream.
I’ll be back the next time I’m in Macon and I’ll wish Tic Toc were an option in California.
