I really, really like their cheesecakes!! Mind you, I've never dined in the restaurant itself, so I can't speak on the dining experience or any of the savory options, but the cheesecake slices really hit the spot. We were able to get late night slices quickly. The strawberry shortcake was my absolutely favorite and my partner loved the decadence and large serving he received of the ice cream, which went well with the strawberry cheesecake. I've also had a birthday cake cheesecake from here before which held up really well when transported. Would come here any day and recommend anyone to come here as well! read more

Junior's Restaurant - Strawberry Shortcake, Ice Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The heat is too high in this place. The fries needed work. The French toast didn't taste anything like French toast. The pastrami was not good. It was missing that pastrami flavor. The prices are no bargain. The service was pleasant. read more

I was introduced to this Junior's Restaurant location by yelper Letty C, a yelper out of Brooklyn, NY who visited, and reviewed. Once I noted its location being very close to my hotel in downtown Brooklyn, it became a must visit for me because I missed the opportunity to visit the Manhattan location months ago while visiting for United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. Out of its extensive menu, I ended up ordering side orders of mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and a cherry cheesecake! I honestly felt as though I could not order from Junior's Restaurant of all places and not order a cheesecake, being that Junior's is known for cheesecake. I always love ordering online via yelp because it is convenient! Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. By the time I arrived at Junior's my order was waiting for me behind the counter during this ordering experience. Picking up was just a verification that I was picking up a Grubhub order, as well as showing the email confirmation to the employee. Grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again at the location is very high. As for my food, the macaroni and cheese was the first of the two sides I started off with eating. I am still flabbergasted that it is considered a side because it appeared as though it could be more than that. I really enjoyed it as I hummed Digable Planets song "Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat) " which popped into my head as I walked back to my hotel. Now as for the mashed potatoes, they tasted good! I felt that they were perfectly made and satisfying with or without gravy. After eating both sides, I had to use every ounce of energy I had to work out because I literally just wanted to spread out across my bed and sleep, tehehe. And lastly, that luscious looking cherry cheesecake that I just had to have from Junior's. I ended up eating it the following day because I was so full after eating the side orders. And I kid you not, I had the sneakiest grin on my face each time I stuck my fork inside, pulling out each chunk of that delightful tasting piece of heaven that I smile each time I reminisce about. Needless to say that I had a great experience as I have clearly indicated in this review of Junior's Restaurant. I would surely re-visit again whenever staying in downtown Brooklyn. And as it was introduced to me by Letty C, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all. ~Have courage. Be Kind. ~ Thomas G read more

This is just what people want in a diner. It has that old world charm and a staff that pays attention to details. My server Lenworth T. was great. I sat at the counter for a Sunday breakfast. Menu items are awesome and filling. There is a good variety without having 10,000 choices. I settled for the corned beef hash, grits, two poached eggs and rye toast. A hearty breakfast to start the day on a cold windy morning the first of daylight wasting time. Good to see the staff paying attention to the small details from making sure glasses are clean and spotless to making the perfect cappuccino. Kid friendly/family friendly. Staff members engaging with small children. I like the vibe and this location is the flagship, so make it a stop on your bucket list, it's well worth the trip. read more

First off, the staff is super friendly and everyone helps everyone so service was quick. However, the food was not it. The soup and the potato salad were good but everything lacked flavor. The grilled cod was especially bland even though it looked seasoned. Love all of the local memorabilia on the walls. read more

So hard to put into words one of NYC's & America's most legendary restaurants. Everyone knows about Junior's & their world famous cheesecakes. They have a long history that dates back many many decades. The menu selection is endless. Service was quick & friendly. Ambiance inside is what you'd expect from an old school American restaurant. A lot of baseball & sports memorabilia on the walls with mirrors following you around. I've always wanted to come here to the Brooklyn iconic location & am so glad I finally did. As a New Yorker it's definitely a must-do thing foodwise. I got the chocolate mousse cheesecake, plain cheesecake, strawberry pie & blueberry cheesecake. Goodness that 1st bite into the chocolate mousse & I was in heaven, lol. If you love cheesecake you must come here! I highly recommend Junior's to everybody. read more

Came here later at night on a Thursday for dinner. The pea soup is a must have every time. I also got the Reuben and my boyfriend got the Reuben but mixed the turkey and the corned beef. Strangely he had ordered the cheesesteak (literally our reason for going here) and was told someone got sick from it that day... it was very weird. Also make sure to ask for the pickles, beets and slaw - they don't give it to you with out you asking. read more

Juniors is a staple in nyc for the cheesecake so you know I had to try. We came for lunch and ordered some omelettes to start. They came out hot and fast stacked with different ingredients. I went with the veggie one and it was good albeit a little bland. The strawberry cheesecake was also good but not wind blowing. It tasted like many other cheesecakes I have had and quite frankly I have had better. It is a massive place so plenty of tables if you are looking to dine in. The other baked items also looked good if you are in the mood. Probably won't be back but glad I went. read more

We made a quick stop on our way back from Manhattan and were fortunate enough to nab a parking spot right in front of the restaurant!! My husband ran in to make the buy. The counter person advised him to check with his wife because they have a pie and a cake -- so he ran out with the question. I was sure being raised on it as a family fave. A strawberry Cheesecake Pie is now in possession and it feels like home. Yummy. read more

Stopped in to the original location for breakfast. The lumberjack pancakes were particularly spectacular, fluffy and delicious with butter/syrup. The grits were tasty, a little on the plain side. Standard scrambled eggs and sausage/bacon. The neo omelette was very good, especially when made into a breakfast sandwich with the toast. Finished with an Oreo milkshake which was phenomenal and an egg cream. Service was good, made sure our coffee cups were always full. Best part of the experience is the historic and nostalgic Brooklyn memorabilia on the walls. Fun casual spot to eat. Would go back. read more

Misty, foggy Saturday night between Christmas and New Year's in downtown Brooklyn. We haven't eaten here in more than 20 years (have gone to the new Times Square location twice though) and were nostalgic and curious. Neighborhood has gentrified, but Junior's feels about the same. Saw many negative reviews posted about this location, but this may have been due to individual expectations. We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival at 8pm. Our server brought us some pickles, beets and coleslaw shortly after we were seated. Nothing spectacular about the presentation or food quality, but just what was expected of a basic "diner-ish" eatery. We stuck to our go-to's from years past and ordered the butterfly shrimps and the Romanian skirt steak. The butterfly shrimp were served with a side of fries, both golden brown and crispy, not greasy. Fries needed about 3 more minutes, but still pretty good. The Romanian skirt steak was prepared perfectly medium rare and was very tender mad juicy. It was served with a side of steamed broccoli and a baked potato, both fresh and properly cooked. Tartare sauce, A1, sour cream, corn bread and rolls were also offered. We came here with expectations that the food would be "diner" quality and were more than satisfied. We weren't expecting 11MP, PerSe, Luger's, Masa or Omakase at a Michelin rated place. Come for good food, relax, the prices are fair, order conscienciously (this isn't a world famous BBQ place or Katz's) and you won't be disappointed. Including a Dr Brown's Cherry and a Cream soda, $105 out the door including tax and tip. Pretty fair for NYC. We got an apple crumb cheese cake to go as we were stuffed and enjoyed it at home. 10 out of 10. Thank you Juniors for keeping the lights on and your torch held high. Yum! read more

Junior's is a good classic restaurant and one you should go to at least once just because. It wasn't so super that I'd want to go out of my way to return, but if I lived in the area I could see it being our home diner when we want diner food. They definitely have regulars and food is probably prepped the way it always has been. We came back later in the day for cheesecake and man, it is steller. read more

Juniors is always a vibe! I've been coming here since I was a kid and it still feels like home. Food is good. My only complaint this time was that the waitress didn't ask if we wanted rolls, pickles and beets - a Juniors tradition. I get that people waste it but she should have asked and not assumed we didn't want it. Because we did! read more

Omg the salted caramel swirl, Oreo and carrot cheesecake are my absolute favorites in that order!!!

This location in Brooklyn we've been coming to for years,has changed since covid . The menu and food has changed . We had lunch on 8/1/25 on a Thurs after finaly finding parking! We always have the broiled Cod meal and Calamari. But the Calamari was HORRIBLE like GUM not real it was that stuff that comes in a bag you find at your local supermarket frozen section! We are not trashing your resturant Mr Alan Rosen and we will NOT stop eating there either! But please bring back the old menu . read more

Don't understand the hype in the slightest. All the diner food seemed mid at best. Ribs had no character and tasted like oven ribs made at your less talented aunts house. French fries were flaccid and undersalted. Matzo ball soup tasted like Campbells had a child with instant Matzo mix. The cheesecakes which I was under the impression of being their main draw was very forgettable and something I'd compare to grocery store cheesecake. (Tried the classic and the raspberry) read more

Junior's hits the spot for me every single time! Loved this location with all of its incredible baseball memorabilia! Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees clippings and artwork around the restaurant make for a cool experience! The food is always a home run with Babe Ruth sized portions. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it was awesome! The service was friendly and helpful. Overall a great place if you've never been or go again when you need something delicious and filling! read more

Went to see a play on time square. Came out and went straight to juniors to eat. We were starving. Service was excellent, and ambience great. I had the baby back ribs. Could not finish it all. Took half home but while on the train this homeless young guy was begging he looked so hungry and thirsty so I gave him my ribs. He said are you sure. I said yes and to enjoy them. He kept telling me bless you. Another person gave him a soda and he was drinking it so fast. I thank god everyday for what I have. read more

It has been more than a decade since I last visited Juniors. Today my family and I stopped by after visiting a museum exhibit, there was no long wait. The wall decor was mostly posters and photos of historical Brooklyn landmarks. The Brooklyn Dodgers and memorable moments capture at earlier times. My sister ordered the pastrami reuben with creamy coleslaw and she enjoyed it. I had the Thai ginger garlic chicken, the spices were not tasty. Before the food came out we were served a bowl of pickles and beets. My visit would not be complete without the famous Junior Cheesecake , we got a couple of slices to go. Although I didn't enjoy my food, I am glad Juniors still remains a Brooklyn staple. read more

It's always a pleasure to visit my grandmother's favorite restaurant. RIP Connie, miss and love you dearly. We stopped by to get something to eat after hanging at Vine. I needed some substance, and we only ate a couple of snacks at Vine. Enjoying some time in Brooklyn and Sara has never been to Junior's. She picked Vine, and I picked juniors. Sara was amazed when her deli sandwich was brought out, which I knew she would have. She enjoyed the sandwich, and my ginger barbecue wings was delicious and the fries. Overall, it was a great sunday evening with great company. read more

This is a must go at least once a year Brooklyn icon. Cheesecake! None better. The food is good diner food that will leave you satisfied. I've been coming here for over 60 years and yes, it's changed since then but they are holding their own. The service can be thin at times but where can you go today where it is not. I love this place as it brings back memories. If you're a foodie - the cheesecake. Oh their burgers will make you very happy. read more

Famous for their cheesecakes, Junior's actual restaurant is mediocre, overpriced, and disappointing. We came here for a quick breakfast and found the menu lacking in variety, with the prices wild even for NYC standards. The salmon Benedict that I ordered tasted processed and bad. The only saving grace was that the server was friendly, albeit a bit hyper and "rushed." read more

I had some issues with the food but the manager rectified it quickly! The wait steff and everyone were really nice and professional.

Cute diner in downtown. The food came out quickly, which was very nice since I was on a time crunch. The server was friendly. I got the Salmon Eggs Benedict for breakfast. All breakfast options come with a free drink (out of their select list), so I got hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was REALLY sweet, but I had no complaints. I knew going into the Benedict that the dish would be salty since it's smoked salmon, but I didn't realize it would be as salty as it was. It was good, but I would probably try the salmon bagel next time. The avocado toast was just avocado toast, but my partner said it was yummy. read more

My wife and I stopped in on Saturday for food and to purchase a cheesecake. The server asked my wife what she would like, then turned and started walking away. I asked "are you going to take my order?" She said "oh are you eating too?" Qhike waiting for the check(we were seated in the front of house) Is went to purchase the cheesecake. The server gets the manager, who was ridiculous, and he says "are you trying to run out in your check?" I say "do you think I'm going to run and leave my wife of 47 years here?" He says "it happen." I showed my account balance which is 6 figures and said, "I dont need to do that." Paid in cash ans left. I was going to Junior's when Marty was doing the takeout(Iykyk). I will never eat there again. read more

Okay so I used to live right next door to this place, but only went once in the entire time I lived there. It wasn't something I ever craved. Hear me out, Cheesecake Factory trumps Juniors when it comes to single slices of cheesecake to go. Don't get me wrong. The plain slice with strawberries is solid, but it just doesn't slap the same way the cheesecake factory's does. read more

I loved the brunch at Junior's. The food was amazing and the service and atmosphere made the whole experience even better. I have to say the cheesecake was just okay for me, not as special as I expected, but everything else really delivered. Overall I'd give it 5 out of 5 for service, atmosphere, and food. read more

One thing about Juniors, the cheesecake will change your life every time. I will never say anything bad about a slice of strawberry cheesecake from this amazing establishment. Now the actual restaurant itself-- it's your run of the mill diner except x3 for the price. I wouldn't necessarily need to eat here but the cheesecake? I'll pay top dollar every time. read more

My friends and I had all gotten cheese burgers with the side of steak fries and onion rings. One of our burgers had a piece of someone's eye lash right smack dab in the middle of the patty, on top of the cheese. The onion rings were soggy with no crunch at all. Our male server did not check in with us but instead stood there in the corner just watching us/zoning out. Very disappointed with the service and quality of their food. The cheesecake was amazing though. I would only come here for a take out cheesecake and nothing else. read more

The original Junior's in Brooklyn is sooo good! It was my fiancé's birthday dinner surprise! He had a blast. We've been coming to Junior's for years.

You guys Rock!!! Just keeping it real!! read more

I went to the Juniors in time square before and liked it. I tried the juniors (that I am told is the original ) in Brooklyn today. I wanted to love this location but I did not. The Mac n cheese was bland. 5 small fried shrimp was over $18 and they did not come with fries. I could have been okay with that if they were seasoned well and had cocktail Sauce. I will say the tartar sauce was delicious ; I think it's made from Scratch. The red velvet cheesecake was good. read more
