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 😋😋😋

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.

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

(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.

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.

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

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.
