Whether for its legendary cheesecake or its sumptuous diner fare, Junior's leaves you with delightful memories and a longing to return. A true gem in Brooklyn's crown!
I Have been at Junior's at Times Square three times but in Brooklyn was the first time. Mohamed was the waiter, great service, great smile and such a big help with the menu and IPAS from Brooklyn.
Great service, great food and great atmosphere. I got a Pastrami Reuben which was great. I will come back.
Please try the homemade Russian Dressing.
The Strawberry Cheesecake is much more than we could call excellent! Overwhelmingly good!

It was my first time eating at Juniors. The food was great and the cheesecake was on point. The next time I'm in Brooklyn I would definitely go there again. Our server Kris was the best. It was 8 of us and she handled us with no problem. Loved the Ruben Combo 😋😋😋
This was our second time at Junior's, this time in Brooklyn. We were not disappointed this time either. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and the ordered dishes were on the table very quickly. Very good food, well seasoned and presented. Junior's offers not only dinner, but also desserts. The cheesecakes are out of this world. We recommend.
They accommodated our 6-party group for lunch. Excellent food, burgers, Reuben sandwiches and soup. They also have cocktails. Service was quick and attentive. Our meal included 18% service, and I wasn’t sure if that’s typical for NYC. Overall good experience.
The food was delicious. The skin on the chicken was nice and crispy. There was a little too much sauce on the ribs for my taste but it was good overall.
A place you should pay a visit if only just to try their New-York-style cheesecake, which they serve in many different variants, but the all-time classic is one of the best cheesecakes you can get in NYC. Also, you can get their coffee and cakes to go in a small store near the entrance
After a long time it was a celebration we enjoyed our meals very much and Monica was an excellent server. It was topped off with strawberry, pineapple and cherry cheesecake.
(I'm a top 10% Google Reviewer) We happened upon this gem by accident. The outside was orange with lots of flashing yellow lights - it reminded me of the Ruby Slipper in New Orleans.
We walked in the front doors, and there were many people standing there in the bakery area waiting for pastries and 🧀 cheesecakes. We skirted around them and were greeted with a friendly smile. We were seated, given menus, and it was really hard to choose from all their items because there was so much to choose from!
I quickly ran upstairs to use the restroom. The tile floors were clean, the bathroom was clean, and well stocked.
I thought I would try to be good, so I ordered 1/2 a sandwich, and a salad with blue cheese. The waitress then brought us pickled beets, pickles, and coleslaw. I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw - it was like cabbage and carrots in vinegar. The pickles were good and salty, and the beets had onions in with them. Yum!
The food came, and boy, am I glad I only got half a sandwich and salad! The portions are huge!
The homemade blue cheese dressing for my salad was the best I ever ate! It tasted very much like blue cheese.
The brisket sandwich wasn't dry at all!
I tried a huge fry from my lunch mate's plate - delicious!
And to top it off, we split a piece of cherry 🧀 cheesecake! I just about fell over when the waitress placed that cheesecake on the table! It ... was ... HUGE!!!! It was so delicious and thick, just like cheesecake should be.
The menu was a little pricy, but I spent just as much on two medium, 6 Slice, Grimaldi's pizzas. The quality of the food was superb, the cleanliness was superb, and the wait staff was superb.
Run here! Just Run! Q train to Dekalb - you'll see it on the corner.
Juniors Restaurant Bar Downtown Brooklyn is a classic spot for American comfort food and desserts. The menu has something for everyone, from burgers and sandwiches to salads and soups. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The service is fast and friendly, and the ambiance is cozy and lively. But the star of the show is the cheesecake, which is rich, creamy, and delicious. You can choose from different flavors, such as strawberry, chocolate, or plain. Juniors Restaurant Bar Downtown Brooklyn is a great place to enjoy a hearty meal and a decadent dessert.
My first experience here. I will be back. I had the pastrami Reuben OMG the best I have ever had and the homemade Russian dressing is phenomenal. Slightly disappointed in the onion rings bc they are heavily breaded and have no seasoning, also no seasoning on the steak fries, just add some salt and pepper and we're good to go. My man ordered the steakburger, it was huge and delicious, perfectly cooked. Of course, I couldn't leave without a cheesecake, so I ordered the blueberry & he got the traditional with strawberry ... my mouth is watering just writing about this experience.
Food was good, waiter was very kind and attentive. She made sure we were good. Would recommend anyone to visit for a holiday dinner, birthday brunch or even a date which I ended up being on.
Late night visit to juniors for grub, portions are big so make sure to order light! Food was good for the time of night. Calamari was really tasty and potato pancakes were huge ! Sebby got the double burger no bun not knowing each patty is 10oz! We had a lot of food to take home…ended the visit with a slice of the classic cheesecake which was the best part of the whole meal. When in Brooklyn, it’s a must try at least once
First time trying Juniors and the food was good, I’m not a cheesecake fan but the strawberry cheesecake was actually really good. Service was great and very attentive.
The Food was excellent! Our server was a bit absent minded and distant, other than that it was a terrific visit! I had the french toast; my wife had the BLT. Everything was cooked perfectly! And, needless to say, the Strawberry Cheesecake was PHENOMENAL! Definitely a must-eat restaurant when visiting Brooklyn.
We only got desserts. The cheesecakes were all really thick. The sundae was somewhat cold yet melted really fast.
