The food was 10/10 the string beans were the star of the show and I also really enjoyed the spaghetti side the pasta was cooked perfectly and it was made in house.
I'm usually wary of super-new places but I'm glad I gave this spot a try. Some things are hit or miss, but give them a few more months and they'll be firing on all cylinders. My boyfriend and I arrived on a Saturday at 5:40 PM (they open at 6) for a walk-in, and got bar seats right at opening. I tried: + House dirty martini with gin - perfect + Caesar salad - great + Mushroom and chestnut ravioli - best dish of the evening omg + Chicken parm - too spicy for me (those chiles are not messing around) but otherwise excellent + Rainbow cookie layer cake - perfect Returned a month later and tried some items I didn't have before - arancini salad, Junior's burger, french fries and broccoli rabe (special). Burger was amazing!! Vibes are fantastic - super warm and cozy atmosphere. Booths rule. 4.5 stars.
Superb corner bar & restaurant with warm and cozy ambiance. Staff all top notch professional and not to mention their food is exactly how social media portrayed; MOUTHWATERING GOODNESS. We ultimately chose their lamb chops and burger wishing our appetite could have been bigger lol. The bar was top notch with superbly knowledgeable bartender. We absolutely made the right decision to stop by and no doubt JR & Son has earned a repeat customer.
This was our first time at Jr and Son and we absolutely loved it!! We chose this restaurant as our "lazy Friendsgiving" spot and boy, was it perfect. Truly everything we ate was delicious. We got the Chicken Parmesan, the fish, lobster pasta, and green beans. The green beans were probably lowest on our list, but still good. The ambiance was perfect for a date night, and service was fantastic. Def on my list to return!
10/10 food and even better service! Walked in with a group of 3 on a Sunday night and were able to get a booth. We called ahead to ask what the wait was like and they said we should be ok! Here's what we got: - Bread Service: pretty standard bread and sauce but it hit the spot! - Caesar Salad: elevated for sure but still just as good - Branzino: friends didn't leave a bite! They loved it - Artichoke Triangolini: super unique and definitely one of my favorite items! - Ravioli: this was my absolute favorite! The porcini sauce and charred corn was chefs kiss! - Tiramisu: this was not my favorite, the orange is definitely pretty strong but it was still good Overall, I will 100% be back! I highly recommend coming here with your friends or for a date night :)
Stepping inside makes you feel like you entered an early 20th century Italian place, along with the music, lighting and feel of a cross between a diner and a speakeasy. We went without reservations and did not have much trouble getting a seat, though at the bar so if you want a table, try to aim for a reservation. Food was awesome. The baked stuffed clams tasted delicious, with a touch of lemongrass that gave it almost a Thai flavor. The onion rings were fine, nicely fried with bomba sauce but not my favorite. Chicken Parmesan was delicious but the sauce was a bit salty. That being said it was still a flavorful delicious sauce with the tomatoes being well simmered in, just hoping for less salt next time. Lobster Fra Diavolo was delicious, beautifully cooked with a decent amount of lobster meat. Overall great experience, with the food leaning a bit more on the modern side of Italian American, something a bit different than say Bamonte's nearby.
This restaurant is very 80s/90s vibes. It's dark, sexi and makes you feel like you're attending a dinner in the Sopranos. Got a martini (of course) and it was done really well. For apps - focaccia bread is a must, caesar is good but portion size is pretty small. Pasta - got the the sausage pasta and it was really good. The star of the show was the chicken parm (must try). Lastly, we got all 3 desserts so you don't have to. Tiramisu had too much of an orange flavor for me, rainbow cake was too coconut-y, but the vanilla / pistachio ice cream was so so good. Definitely the best dessert.
The bread service was very good. We also really enjoyed the burger though it should have come with fries. The chicken parm was good but not amazing. For dessert we tried the rainbow cookie cake, it was very tasty but it had more of a coconut flavor and didn't taste like a classic rainbow cookie that I was expecting.
A lovely meal. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Very attentive waitstaff. Ambiance was dark and cool for a night out- but still clean. Bread service was good, green beans were great! Branzino and lentil burger were great. I definitely liked the lentil burger more than i expected I would. It was hearty and the sesame bun made it excellent. For dessert, we got the pistachio sundae which was unreal! You'd think to skip it in favor of the tricolore cake but it really is so good. The cake itself was wonderful, it's coconut forward rather than almond. So if you're going craving that almond extract flavor- you're not going to get that. It was still pretty great. And the flaky salt on top really added to it.
I would rate Jr and son a 3.5 if I could. First time I came by, there was a 90 minute wait for a table so we didn't stay. This time I came back with a reservation. The restaurant is pretty tiny. They say walk ins are welcome, but it seems like walk ins can only sit at the bar. There is no where to wait if you need to wait for a table, outside is your only option to wait. The service was good here and everything came out quick. They need to turn over the tables fast so this contributed to efficiency of the service. We were there an hour or less. I had a Sprezzatura drink, which was like a martini. Refreshing. We had onion rings for an appetizer. They were very salty but I enjoyed them. We both had the ravioli as an entree. Again, this dish was very salty but not terrible. We had the rainbow cake for dessert which was honestly the best part of the meal. I was not blown away with the food overall. I would come back here for a drink and dessert but probably skip dinner. There are two bathrooms. One is listed as ADA accessible. The other one is the smallest bathroom I've ever seen, lol. Sound level in the restaurant was average. They had photographers in the space photographing food and the bar. The manager gave us a heads up about this but it was annoying nonetheless, with flashes going off every minute. When I sat down, I noticed my utensils were dirty. I expected more cleanliness wise here. Overall, if you can get a reservation or walk in and get seated quickly, I'd say it's ok to try this out. I would not say this place is worth waiting 90 minutes or more for.
Came here on a cold night, and this was the perfect balance of cozy and lively. The restaurant is on the smaller side, staff is super friendly, and the music was keeping vibes high. Portions here are large so come hungry or ready to share. Pro tip! Are you in between two dishes? Don't be afraid to ask your server what they would pick. We went with the arancini salad based on his recommendation, no regrets!
We came to Jr and Son for a late night celebration and were very pleased with the food and service. It was definitely busy, maybe a 20 minute wait for 2 at the bar. Everything we ordered was amazing, especially the burger (which was the reason we came since it's been featured in quite a few lists!) and pasta. Service was efficient and friendly.
I loved my server as he was so helpful and sweet. He advised all the food orders we had and we loved everything! If I'm back in New York I would say here again.
While the host was pretty rude..... I'll let it slide since the food, drinks, and vibe were absolutely amazing here. We didn't get seated at a table right away, so we got a drink at the bar and then moved to our booth in the back of the restaurant. We were hungry so we pretty much ordered everything off the menu to share. We got: -bread service -baked clams -crab dip -chicken parm -burger + fries -skirt steak -cacio peppe -chocolate and pistachio sundae Our waiter was super attentive and gave us a brief history of the place when we had questions. I'm not a big chicken parm person, but this one was great because of the kick! It had some spice to it. The burger was SO GOOD - sesame bun and everything! I need to come back here just for my own burger because that little quarter was not enough. Definitely going to make this a staple in the rotation! read more
JR & Son landed on my radar via one of my brothers. He had heard it was a relatively new spot that was getting positive buzz and thought it would be a good place to check out. That being said, we grabbed our other brother and decided to grab dinner here on Christmas Eve Eve. Even though it was cold outside, the vibe was completely different once we entered. The restaurant gives off a warm vibe, with lots of earth tones and a cozy aesthetic. The dining area is somewhat rectangular with the front end having bar seating and some booths, with more tables towards the back. The menu at JR is mainly Italian; the majority of of the dishes were familiar, however there were slight modifications on them that kept things interesting. We decided to start with a couple of apps to share - the bread service, the octopus, and the arancini salad. These were all quite tasty; the bread was warm, seasoned with a butter-herb mixture and served with a side of marinara sauce mmmm. The arancini salad was interesting - I'm not sold on rice balls being in a salad, but the dressing was really good and the portion was large enough to share. The octopus was my favorite app - it was tender and served with a very flavorful sauce. For my main, I decided to get the paccheri - this was served with lobster in a fra diavlo sauce. The dish was great; the pasta was a smidge too soft for my personal taste, but it contained a generous amount of lobster and the sauce had a good amount of heat. Additionally we ordered a size of green beans which I was pleasantly surprised with. The beans were kept long, and again served with a flavorful sauce and topped with lots of garlic; I feel like a broken record saying the sauces were flavorful but wow they really were great. We could not pass up dessert, and decided to share the rainbow cookie cake. This was a generous slice and a great finisher - just enough almond flavor and a good balance of jelly between the layers. Service was great - food came out quickly, and the entire staff was warm and friendly. Overall, I had a great experience at JR & Son - the food and vibes were a yes and I wouldn't hesitate to return for another meal. read more

The atmosphere is Holden Caulfield-ish, as you feel like you've stepped into a boarding school novel waiting for a train. The service is friendly, dapper, the food is divine. If this is the same team that re-vamped Kellogg's they've done a much juicier job here, with resplendent plates of comfort food. Our favorites were the chicken parm, the rolls, the onion rings, but truly everything was delicious. A former dive bar, recalls neighboring Bernie's a bit, but they take reservations here! read more

This place isn't getting enough hype. It's the best new spot in Williamsburg. The vibe is off the charts and the food is totally on point. One of the best Caesar dressings you'll have, the mushroom ravioli is immaculate, steak and branzino perfectly done. Great date night. read more
Stopped by with some friends on our way to one of theirs nonna's house nearby and this is as old school as it gets! You got your usuals hanging around the end of the bar and the place feels like it's been around a long time The barkeep was friendly and the drinks definitely well made and the prices you can't beat and not get at these other bars read more

More of a 2.5 for me, this place just did not live up to the social media hype. Had a reservation but they claimed that you had to write in the reservation notes you wanted a 2 seater booth and that everyone else did so we had to be seated in the back less comfortable table. Considering this spot is pretty new I'd be shocked that all the other patrons knew to do that and did- I have seen nothing about that tip anywhere. No dishes were particularly memorable- the stracciatella olive dish was pretty good but hard to mess up cheese, stuffed clams were weird would not recommend. For the mains got the steak and cacio pepe- steak was good and had a nice sauce but the cacio pepe was a let down- didn't even warrant finishing the one scoop I had on my plate. The rainbow cake was OK- was happy I was forewarned that it had coconut flakes on it not salk flakes and was a more coconut forward taste than rainbow cookie. Overall the influencers on tik tok are lying to you about it here but its nice that it's right off the L. read more
