    I agree with the other reviewer that compared this place to Cracker Barrel. If you are only looking for good service and a large ~quantity~ of food, then TTE is your place. I will say service was pretty quick, friendly and the portions and options were pretty large. I am speaking about breakfast. But the actual quality... not so much. For breakfast I got one of the platters that had scrambled eggs, bacon, grits, biscuits with sausage gravy and a Belgian waffle.... so yeah, alot! Everything was pretty on par with what you might get from Cracker Barrel, and even the eggs and the waffle just seemed very heavy and dense. I don't remember anything on the menu offering any fresh fruit or veggies to go with breakfast. And the decor... was a bit odd. Yes we got the 'TTE' theme with all the clocks, but they hung ceiling lights on the wall and had lots of just weird decor all over the place that just seemed kind of random. To visit the restroom you kind of have to walk through the kitchen to get there and I will say the kitchen looked spotless. All that being said, despite the quick service that we appreciated, I don't think we will be back.

    My husband and I are always looking for good breakfast spots. So far in Mobile we have not been so lucky. After coming across Time to Eat on yelp, we said "what the heck!" Turns out looks can be deceiving. Just because it's located in a strip mall doesn't mean it can't serve up some delish food. My feelings on breakfast here vs. Cracker Barrel is all based on attention. You know your food is getting better care when only 10 tables are being served rather than 30. The women were friendly and the food was good. Think country breakfast. I had the pancakes and a great chorizo breakfast burrito. All for 5 bucks (plus tax & tip)! Nice! The rest of the menu looked like classic southern dishes. The special sign said something about all you can eat catfish and their pies were very tempting. According to the waitress, if you bring in a wall clock you get a free piece of pie. :)

    Food is decent, but nothing on the menu was Cajun or Creole IMHO. That category should be removed from this entry. I enjoyed the catfish sandwich and turnip greens though!

    One of the things that was on my list during our road trip through the south was to stop for pie. I don't know why, but I just wanted to stop for pie. So we did so at this cute little place off the highway. We ordered the chocolate pie and the paradise pie (cream with pineapples?) . The pies were good and decent and it was at a good price. The thing though that we appreciated was the kindness and great hospitality of the server. She was very sweet and was not afraid to give her opinion to ensure we got the best product. True southern hospitality at its finest! :)

    Chose this place for dinner as we had been there for breakfast a few years ago. I remembered it as being quaint and having good food. I ordered the roast beef...it was a little dry for my taste. They brought my dinner minus one sweet potato stick. While I appreciated that they had a count for them but it was odd that they brought one on it's own plate after I was 1/2 way done with my meal. We ordered pie for desert. The waitress stated that she was going to charge my mother less for her piece of pie as it was cut small. The service was slow for us as our waitress was apparently only helping out in our dining area. They didn't explain that the number placed on the table was our check so we waited several minutes for her to finally show up at our table and explain that. I didn't appreciate that the waitress we asked initially didn't explain that to us. I did not like that I could not review the bill before paying for the meal. I was not able to determine if the pie was charged less or not..I was not given a receipt as I paid with cash for the meal. It might be a while before I go back again.

    Great breakfast. Good service. Generous portions. Western Omelette was very good. Kids had pancakes and French toast. Both were good. Bacon was great! Definitely a good place for breakfast. Can't wait to come back to try the burgers!

    We craved comfort food and found it at "Time To Eat." The food is fabulous! I had excellent fried catfish (a tricky dish to make right) and it was light and flakey, the best I've ever had. The turnip greens are also the best I've had, a little spicy and with a lot of bacon. Dad had red beans, rice and locally made Conecuh sausage. He said it was "rich, hearty and very satisfying." The pecan pie was perfect, plenty of nuts and not overly sweet. The prices are reasonable. We definately got lot of food for a good value. The staff, including waitress Becky and co-owner Alfredo Fernandez are friendly and attentive. We received excellent service and stayed just to talk to them after our meal because it was so much fun. The decor is really cute, there are at least a hundred clocks on the walls all stopped at different times letting us all know it's always "Time To Eat"!

    Seriously good cheap eats and they even deliver too! First thing is first. The burgers are only okay tasting. They sound delicious and they have a large variety to choose from and are appropriately named by time. For example the 8 O'clock is a Southwestern Burger and the 6 O'clock is a Cajun burger. The problem I have with it is that they use dried spices on the burgers and they tend to overload those spices. Still though, my sixteen-year-old son thinks they're just amazing, so my opinion may not agree with yours. That said, this is probably the best place to go for a good cheap meal and to get really big helpings. If you leave still hungry then you have an appetite that none can satisfy. I've never been able to eat my full plate and trust me, I don't look like I've missed a meal! The staff is always friendly and attentive. I've never had any trouble with any of our orders, that I can remember. We don't eat here too often, but we've done so on a number of occasions. They open early for breakfast and I've yet to try their breakfast. It sounds really good. The ambiance is rather interesting. As the name and burger menu implies, it centers around time and clocks. The walls are plastered with more clocks than you can shake a stick at. Just don't be a dork and ask them what time it is. :P It's a cute notion really. Though the structure itself looks like it's ready to fall apart, patrons don't seem to notice nor do they appear to care. They do however enjoy looking at the clocks. If you want something more fancy with fine food, then I'd try something else. If you want some good old fashioned home cooking for a low price, then stop on in as this is the place for you.

    The catfish was perfect and the turnip greens were divine. For $10 I got 2 huge pieces of catfish, cornbread, rice'n'gravy, turnip greens, and fried okra. The service was quick and the waitresses were sweet as the tea.

    There may not be sufficient room to completely share how disappointed my visit was on May 9, 2015, about 2 pm. I walked in - and I walked right out. The dining room on the non-smoking side - every table was either seated (three tables were seated) or dirty. So, I left to Rousse's next door, to give the staff a moment to catch up after what must have been a doozy of a lunch rush. I asked in Rousse's what the food was like and got good reviews. I should probably complain to Rousse's about the quality of those opinions. I re-enter, thinking that maybe they are short-staffed. I sit, and the servers were quick-moving, darting around, but fairly attentive. My server never asked me how I wanted my AYCE catfish. It came to me fried. When fish is fried well, it's white, flaky, and firm. This stuff was mushy and greasy. The fries were crisp. The baked beans were very sweet, but good. The hush puppy's were bland and likely store bought frozen, not fresh. (Fresh hush puppies are never completely round like these.) So, I pushed it out of my way. After about 7 minutes, the server asks me if I want water - doesn't even notice the full plate of over-fried fish. I had to tell her to bring me blackened instead of fried. Another 8-10 minutes later, she brings out some more. The presentation was much better than the fried, but the fish was still mushy and greasy. Essentially, I think their fish was old, if it was ever fresh. And, it wasn't blackened - just seasoned to death. Almost my death. If you want a country meal - do not go here. You're better off at Cracker Barrel, or taking the extra time and going to Mobile's causeway, or to Dauphin Island. Any place would be better than here. I was told when I left ( I did complain) - that Ken, the owner was out of town. Poor man. For his sake, I hope he comes back soon and never has to leave again. As for me, I will tell everyone I know to never eat here, as the food is bad and the dining room is dirty. I would rate this place a zero out of 5 if the site would let me. The absolute worst - and I've eaten at some dumps before.

    This meal didn't start off well. Sausage they served me was cold after I paid for an upgrade on it. The home fries were also cold when they arrived . The eggs I asked for to be soft scrambled were way overcooked and dry. I had to tell the idiot hostess this twice to get her to go find my waitress so that was ridiculous, apparently she was too wrapped up in a conversation so when I told her my food was cold the first time she did nothing and after I told her the second time all she did was turn and walk away so I had to wait for her to come back and ask AGAIN for my server. Maybe she needs to be replaced? My server offered to take it out the check and I told her "No I was hungry" and she took it and read it and brought back WAY LESS food but not her fault she didn't cook she didn't take it off the plate. I'm guessing this is going to be my last stop here. It was great the last time I was here but it's really gone downhill ever since. Apparently they microwaved my sausage on the same plate because it came back in a swimming pool of grease, see photo, and they also kept most of my home fries in the kitchen so this place it was once so good is now apparently on its way to being a loser. To her credit my server, not the lazy hostess, went out of her way to try and make it right bless her heart so she saved them from a one star review because she was so wonderful. Still they need to start paying attention to the details.

    Traveling from Texas to Florida I wanted to stop in Alabama for a good Southern breakfast. This place was phenomenal. My son got the pancakes which were huge and that dark brown that good pancakes have to be. Wife got the chicken fried steak and eggs, but being from Texas, the chicken fried steak was good but didn't measure up to our standards. I went with Everybody's Favorite Breakfast with two eggs, biscuits with a side of sausage gravy, home fries and I upgraded for fifty cents to the Conecuh link sausage, best decision I've ever made. The biscuits and gravy were borderline perfect. The home fries were the best I've ever had. But the Conecuh sausage, wow. It's a local Alabama sausage and it was great for breakfast. The place doesn't look like much, located in a shopping center next to a grocery store but it's fantastic. Ambiance is great too with the decor of Clocks all over the wall. Definitely check this gem out.

    I sincerely like this place. The food & service is great. The waitresses here strive to make your temporary visit with them right with no wrongs, although I am sure they do mess up from time to time, but you can tell they strive for perfection because their boss demands it. I have not witnessed no attitudes from no one. This place is now at the top of my places to go out & get something to eat. My meal today was 3 sides with catfish totaling $12.94, fair price. On Saturdays, their daily special is all you can eat catfish with 2 sides for $10 & some change. They also have free WI-FI, just ask waitress for access code.

    A good deal, great service and nice people. I'm not a big fan of grits but I accidentally ordered them and they were awesome. If you're looking for investing advice or just good conversation, come in on a Friday morning and look for a few old timers talking about stocks and dividends. I'll be back!

    Stopped for breakfast, asked for our drinks with our meal, waitress brought drinks about ten minutes after we ordered. 20 minutes later we finally got our food, except my toast. Waitress said toast would be right out, waited 5 minutes, finally had to flag the waitress down, who, yes you guessed it forgot my toast. Eggs are now cold, looks like another long wait for my toast. Guess waitresses don't depend on their tips here. We won't be back
