    I'm gonna start by saying I Love the Bklyn location. However, the waitress I had was lazy & Never, Never came back to ask if I needed anything. A big no-no for me! I got the Catfish fingers & cheese fries. Yum! I was in Bklyn, on business & stopped by only for the Catfish bc Manhattan restaurant doesn't make it. I forgot to take a photo of her but she cover the round sitting area near the pastries . I think her name is Leylia but it on the receipt. I hope management informs her to be more attentive w/ customers bc I did want something else, but not after her ignoring me & another customer next to me. I recommend, this location bc it's the original one but it fell off with professionalism.

    This is a Brooklyn institution! The cheesecake is phenomenal and the bar has well made drinks. Julia our waitress was amazing . And for many times my wife and I visited this place and on my own always good experience. The ambiance brings you back in time and so does the music.

    Was welcomed and seated quickly! Daniella came soon after to take our beverage request! She didn't rush us for our order. She answered all our questions about the menu. The food came out in a good amount of time because we were definitely hungry. Everything was cooked the way we had requested. Everything was delicious! The coffee was the only thing that can improve. It wasn't robust or full bodied to my liking. But it was drinkable. Haven't been here in a while but would definitely return! We all left pleased.

    I really enjoyed my dining experience at Juniors. I stopped in for breakfast today. I was greeted in a friendly way, shown to a table. The restaurant is old school and has lots of pictures and memorabilia from past years. I went for the corned beef hash and coffee, and they also brought out two complimentary small pastries for me. The food was excellent. The portion sizes are big, but beyond that this was one of the best corned beef hashes I have had - nice crispy bits of corned beef, poached eggs with a runny yolk, breakfast potatoes, and rye toast. Can't get better than that. Their coffee was also decent with a bold flavor to it. They play older tunes with creates for a nice atmosphere. People say this place is an institution; I'd say it's definitely worth checking out.

    Decisions. Decisions.

    Junior's Iconic Restaurants located Downtown Brooklyn, allows many options with its online app.You can definitely purchase anything on the menu for pick up and avoid these long long holiday lines. You can order baked goods for delivery, pick up, or make dining reservations online. I arrived to pick up a cake yesterday and the online app made it soooooo easy. The app enables me to personalize my order, pick up our cheesecake, and keep it moving. People were in and out quickly. We ordered a double chocolate cheesecake for my fam and it is definitely the highlight of desserts. I stopped and held a camera for some tourists and took their group pictures. This place is known world wide for that cheesecake. This is New York during the holidays and I absolutely love it! It was festive and everyone was in such a great mood. The staff asked me if I was walking or driving so that they could bag up cheesecake to meet my travel needs. I'm taking an Uber, so they bagged this up and secured it like Fort Knox. Awesome customer services at the front counter. See you next year.

    I looooove Junior's! It's just old-school comfort to me. The classic decor with all the celebrity photos framed, the vintage red decor. I dunno why, but it feels like home. Recently, I had the Reuben sandwich with fries and it stood out as a favourite; hot, packed with meat, served with Cole slaw, pickled beets and pickles. I don't like to leave without a slice of strawberry cheesecake. YUM! Service is always sweet!

    10/24/25- Picked up a Dubai style cheesecake.. OMG!.. my first time trying this brand of cheesecake -.. and won't be the last-.. Assuming it was going to be way too sweet.. I was totally wrong-. Perfect flavors on each level.. Think I better get an extra to serve for the holidays!.. If they could make a vegan one- I know my oldest would devour it..

    Junior's in Downtown Brooklyn is one of those classic New York institutions where the nostalgia hits you the moment you walk in. Between the vintage photos, the red leather booths, and that unmistakable old-school diner energy, it feels like stepping into Brooklyn history. One of the best things about Junior's is how enormous it is. You almost never need a reservation, even with a big party. I've come here many times with my family and other families with kids, often after attending children's events at nearby City Point, and they always handle large groups just fine. It's incredibly kid-friendly, and the menu is so massive that even picky eaters can easily find something they love. The deli classics are solid: nothing fancy, but always comforting. The portions are gigantic, and the service is quick and friendly. But, of course, you come to Junior's for one main reason: the cheesecake. Rich, tangy, and dense, slightly browned on top. NY-style[1]; truly iconic. If you ever need to bring something to a party and don't know what, a Junior's cheesecake is a foolproof option. They offer a huge variety: original, strawberry, raspberry swirl, chocolate fudge explosion, pumpkin pie, red velvet, chocolate mousse, cherry crumb, Brooklyn crumb, devil's food, white chocolate, and more. And if you can't decide, they have a sampler of 18 mini 4-oz cakes. When in doubt, grab a couple of their smaller 6" cakes and make everyone happy. Whether you're visiting Brooklyn, corralling kids after a City Point outing, craving something sweet, or just feeling nostalgic, Junior's remains a beloved, reliable, and delicious classic. I can't think of Brooklyn without Junior's. ---------------- [1] NY-style cheesecake is characterized by its graham cracker crust and a filling made primarily with cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and sour cream or heavy cream. Italian-style cheesecake uses ricotta instead of cream cheese.

    Happy 41st for me! Got a nice carrot cake for my birthday. Love the cream cheese frosting, if I would change/add anything, I'd add walnuts and I could live without the raisins. Overall good cake.

    Had lunch here with beau and we were seated right away. Not too crowded or busy. Our waitstaff Ayana was pleasant and friendly. Had a bowl of split pea soup which was very good and warm...my go to soup. Had their cheeseburger though it may look dry but juicy in the inside. Fries and onion rings are hot and crunchy. Placed two cheesecakes, chocolate mousse and strawberry, to go. Though the food is pricey they are quite good and came out fast. If ever in the mood for some deli sandwiches, burgers and cheesecakes with friendly staff, Junior's the place.

    Native New Yorker absent for 20 years! Old haunt just as I remembered. FOOD a bit more expensive (what isn't?) but taste buds stimulated in recognition of brisket on rye. Corned beef & pastrami on an onion roll couldn't be beat. Junior's cold slaw, beets, pickles are thoroughly a New York experience. Service by long-standing employees dedicated to establishment superb to none. Ambiance still takes one back to Brooklyn of the 50's complete with Brooklyn's memorabilia. Bright orange striped bags say JUNIOR'S IN THE HOUSE! The Rosens continue to hit home runs and score! BTW Cheesecake, rugela can't be matched. All competition go home. Just shipped 4 to friends!

    Junior's Restaurant on Flatbush Avenue is a throwback to the soda shop days of the 1950s. They serve one of the best chocolate egg creams I've ever had. Our waitress was great; very friendly, answered all our questions, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. She put out Cole slaw, pickles and beets to munch on before we even ordered. The Brooklyn Old Fashioned was delicious enough I had to have two. The fried chicken was super crispy and very tasty. The pastrami reuben was straight out of a NYC Jewish deli, a savory classic. We topped our meal off with a slice of Juniors Original Cheesecake, which was outstanding. The neon lights on Juniors exterior are very inviting and draw you in. The interior decor seems pretty original, giving Juniors that old school NYC vibe. They have a few locations, but Brooklyn is the original, with tons of character to show for it.

The servers come directly to your table and they write down the menu for the day. The menu generally run American classics, but a bit more "chefy" than a run of the mill diner. Unfortunately, I think I came on an off day, as there were some miscues. The clam dish had a ton of potential, but was noticeably overseasoned, and I'm a self-proclaimed salt lover. It was mentioned that the pork chop was going to be medium to medium-rare, but what we received was in the edge of well done (and even burned on some ends). The burger and fries, though, were fantastic. A bit hit or miss, but I do want to come back as the menu is creative and I'm sure it would have been great on a better day.

Evidently they are famed far and wide for their pancakes, which are quite delicious. I actually prefer more texture in mine, with a bit of crisp from the butter/griddle, but you will not be sad about eating these. That said, I truly enjoyed almost everything else more. This is not a knock on them in any way, but a compliment to their kitchen that all their food is interesting and delicious. To wit: The Thai Cobb salad has the base of a classic, but with the heat and the acid of a proper som tum. The KFC wings are everything I wanted them to be. I ate way too many. The Mushroom Reuben Quesadilla (pastrami-spiced portobello!) actually evokes the flavors of a reuben, and may just have been my favorite bite of the evening. I rolled with a katsu club sandwich for my main, and it was outstanding, although I may even have liked the tuna melt more. I was too full for dessert, but I think everyone around the table enjoyed theirs. The staff is uniformly friendly, welcoming, on top of their shit, and honestly, just so cool. They made us feel at home, and got us everything we needed and more. This is a gem. Maybe I won't wait seven years to try the next trendy spot.

But if you're looking for some excellent, straight forward, wonderfully crafted simplicity, this is in your wheelhouse. A quesadilla is a quesadilla, a hamburger a hamburger. Sounds boring?

This spot has a handful of tables and while we were there, quite a few to-go orders were picked up as well. Though we were the only diners, so I assume it's more of a breakfast/brunch spot. The menu is rather expansive with options from breakfast to lunch and dinner. After studying the menu, we opted for the Veggie Burger and the Meatball Parm Po'Boy. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes, which seemed a little long as we were the only diners, but we were not in a rush so it was fine. As the restaurant was unassuming, I honestly had pretty low expectations, but we both really enjoyed our meals. It was definitely large portions and really flavorful. My fiance said the Meatball Parm Po'Boy was delicious and I appreciated that the veggie burger seemed to be made in house as it was falling apart (in a good way) and you could distinguish some of the veggies. I ended up only eating about half of my burger and took the rest for lunch the next day and it held up well.
