2-minute read

Legendary singer Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones gave a shout out to the infamous New Jersey eatery the Tick Tock Diner at his MetLife show on Thursday night.

Jagger was engaging with fans at the concert, asking them if anybody there was from Long Island, New York City, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens and New Jersey.

After the crowd roared for New Jersey, Jagger said, “When I was last here in 2019, I mentioned I’ve been to the diner called the Tick Tick Diner in Clifton. So on the way to the show I stopped in there and I found out they got a new sandwich and it’s called the Mick Jagger.”

He enthusiastically said he never had a sandwich named after him. Jagger said he is so proud and announced he will eat there after the show with band members Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.

The Tick Tock thanked Jagger on Facebook: “Thanks for mentioning us during your performance again Mick!”

The diner also showed off a photo of its Mick Jagger sandwich.

The last time the Rolling Stones visited MetLife in August of 2019, and Jagger shared to the audience that he dined at the iconic New Jersey restaurant during their stop in the Garden State. The rock n’ roll star said at the time, “It’s great to be here in New Jersey, we’re really loving it here. It’s the health food capital of the USA, right? So we went to the Tick Tock Diner and we had Taylor ham, egg and cheese! With disco fries! And sloppy joe to go!”

The Clifton restaurant has been open since 1948 and they serve customers 24/7, 365 days a year, according to their website. You can grab a bite there anytime you would like as they serve classic dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner from burgers, eggs, salads and much more.

The Mick Jagger is on the breakfast all day menu. It’s a sandwich with Taylor ham, cheese, and two fried eggs on a roll served with disco fries, the same item Jagger ordered when he ate at the eatery nearly five years ago.

Tick Tock manager Maria Portalakis said earlier this month that she constantly gets asked about the time Jagger and the band visited the diner as she says, “People come in and ask can we sit where Mick Jagger sat when he came here.” When he visited in the summer of 2019, Portalakis says the crew working did not recognize the singer as one hostess said, “He didn’t really show his face. He was very quiet and low key.”

The Stones are currently on tour for their latest album Hackney Diamonds that came out last year. Along with Jagger, Richards and Wood the other members include Darryl Jones on bass and Steve Jordan on drums. The setlist for Thursday’s show included classics such as Sympathy for the Devil, Honky Tonk Women and Jumpin’ Jack Flash and some for their latest album such as Angry and Mess it up.

The Stones are returning to MetLife this Sunday for another rocking show.
