loran jonakMarch 21, 2016Juniors is great for comfort food, and this location has a bar so you can have a Bloody Mary or mimosa.
Lisa ReneeMay 19, 2016The best Reuben and cheesecake in NYC. Make the trip to Brooklyn and visit the original location.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 6, 2010It’s true, the cheesecake is famously good…especially when you can take it to go! The food is all-american diner, with a very old-school menu. Huge portions.
Ahmed SabbourSeptember 14, 2016Good authentic diner with a lot of options. Great scrumptious breakfasts and brunches.
Laura KrakowskiAugust 29, 2016They have the best cheesecake. I live 2 hours from Brooklyn and my husband drives me there just for a piece of plain cheesecake

New York HabitatOctober 21, 2011Not a great place for an actual meal, but that's not why people come here in the first place. It's the cheesecake. Rich and delicious, get a slice and you won't be disappointed.
Trevor HillJune 16, 2019Solid diner food and classic diner vibes. Complementary breakfast pastries are hard to not fill up on
Amy ChinOctober 10, 2011For something different try the 'something different' sandwich - sliced brisket between 2 potato latkes served w/apple sauce and au jus
ᴡᴡᴡ.Bob.pwho.ru EricksonJuly 5, 2011Try the soup and half sandwich lunch special. The matzo ball soup and corn beef ssndwich are both good. The original cheesecake may please others, but not me. Heavy, gummy, and flavorless.
Pretty good strawberry cheesecake (but not life-changing). The slices are pretty big and can be shared.- Svetlana NovokshonovaAugust 16, 2014Devils Food Cheesecake is a must try here whenever you are in NYC!
ImSo_BrooklynJanuary 2, 2015The corn bread is great! Obviously the cheesecake is the greatest in the world. The steakburger is awesome!
nikkiNovember 24, 2016corned beef, pastrami, or roast? now you don't have to choose! plus they are generous with the extra gravy requests.
Kaira CooperApril 15, 2016Great food and huge portions! The service was a little slow, but the food was worth the wait!
David RaskinJanuary 1, 2014You want a New York burger? Order a D burger well done. With a side of scrambled eggs. Tell them Raskin sent you
Jumpman23January 11, 2013Even before his days of playing for NY, Carmelo Anthony made a point to stop in at Junior's when in Flatbush. Watch Melo's brother talk about Junior’s role in BK history:
MarthaJuly 10, 2016feels like a time warp, but enjoyable all the same. the cheesecake truly is to die for.
Julie MorseApril 6, 2016Lunch menu is really good! Choose between soup, salad or sandwich and a beverage for $14.95
TeaBellyJanuary 25, 2011The southern fried chicken is huge and mash is morish. I know it's been said before, but try the cheesecake, I had a religious experience eating mine. Simply amazing.
This is the real deal, the other locations are for tourists, I only come here...
Come on Wednesday afternoons, or Thursday - Monday nights to the cocktail bar and meet Tim, who is the epitome of old school bartenders
Anna GrldMarch 30, 2017Cornbread is really good, but the burgers and cheesecake (at least the chocolate mousse cheesecake) didn't meet our expectations. Poor food quality.
Olivier MetNovember 29, 2015Great Sunday morning cheese cake... but it is 25 years I haven’t go there!
Grace LeeFebruary 1, 2016Heard the hype about the cheesecake, so figured I'd try it out. It really wasn't that amazing and definitely not #1 in NYC.

Joseph HuppertFebruary 18, 2017I've been going here since I was a kid, and it's constantly fabulous.
The black and white cookie is great if you want a treat to go
- Autumn RayneJuly 4, 2015You can't come to NYC and not get a slice or a whole cheesecake from Juniors it's just not right. It's like coming to NYC and not having a hot dog on the street. #realnewyorkcity
Mike ChauMay 19, 2013Try the Devil's Food Cheesecake - This was the heaviest piece of cake I've ever eaten. Amazing.
Michelle TorresApril 12, 2013Red velvet cheese cake is da' bomb!! The last time I ate here was with my daddy. Miss you dad!! This cheesecake is for you!!
ShellJuly 2, 2015Just get food to go. Every time I sit down to eat I have a bad experience with service. The cheesecake is always great though.
Decent food and all day breakfast. Had a very friendly waiter (Barry). I'll come again!
Patrick BaskinMarch 7, 2016Get the regular cheesecake, the others (including red velvet) are disappointing
Devans00 .December 14, 2012The cheesecakes ordered via email come out great. Still better than most local cheescakes.
Brianna ShantéJanuary 11, 2012I can't get over the rat that was seen on top of the cheesecakes a couple years ago. Google it please. If that's what their secret crack ingredient is count me out! no matter how good they are.

"A “must visit”! Great view of Manhattan. It’s a very popular place for wedding proposals too, so you may be lucky to catch one - I did! Note: The pedestrian way from Brooklyn is a bit hard to find."
John Agapitos - 8.9
"I definitely recommend making an effort to bike the north side of the bridge at least once and to walk the south side of the bridge at least once. Both are great ways to take in the City."
