Tick Tok

In Williamstown, Tick Tok pairs a playful name with a straight-talking, brunch-first approach. The kitchen leans into comfort and craft, working with artisan sourdough and familiar flavours dialled up with tomato relish and wilted greens. It is daytime dining built around simple pleasures and well-judged crunch.

Breakfast sets the tone: eggs any style on artisan sourdough, or the Tick Tok big breakfast, a generous spread of eggs, bacon, tomato relish, wilted spinach, mushrooms, grilled chorizo and potato hash, all anchored by good bread. Classic cravings find a home in smashed avo layered with feta, peas and salad, while eggs benny lands on ciabatta. From the bakery, sourdough 7/grain bread, and a flaky croissant keep the morning simple and satisfying.

As the day moves on, lunch steps in with a playful streak, chicken waffles balancing crunch and comfort, a chickpea-powered veggie burger stacked with colour, and two-handers like a fried chicken burger with slaw or a cheeseburger with fries. Chips and popcorn chicken round out the crowd-pleasers. The menu lends itself to relaxed, come-as-they-please eating for catch-ups and quick stops alike. Tick Tok is ready when hunger strikes; best to clock in soon.
