Great for breakfast! Try the Joghurt or the pastries. Very friendly service. Nice to sit on the terrace in summer.
Daniele SilvioOctober 3, 2012The steak burgers are incredibly good! Nice family atmosphere! If you're in the city you should definitely make time for a visit in one of he Junior's adresses in NYC
SEGAJanuary 4, 2012I’m a huge fan of Junior’s cheesecake. Aaron and I always stop for some when we're in town. I once walked 20 blocks in the pouring rain to get a slice. So worth it. - Kellie, Community Manager
Carina 💖October 24, 2013Best cheesecake ever!!! You couldn't say you went to NYC if you didn't try their amazing cheesecake.
SailorMarch 18, 2018Such a confusing brand for a Times Square restaurant, from the atmosphere right down to the food outlandish claims of “world best this” etc it was just good if even that.
Shameen KhanJune 19, 2019French toast with bacon! Was an absolute dream and came with an apple compote. Tasty american breakfast. ♥️
Vjon Julliene AmadorJune 12, 2017They serve THE BEST cheesecake!!! The original cheesecake was the bomb 💣! Must try!!
AlexandraOctober 28, 2012Amazing value for the prices since it is located in Time Square. I always order the chicken deluxe sandwich or the lobster roll with the brownie for desert.
Wendy McDilda WilsonMarch 21, 2015French Toast is yummy and the coffee is hot and good. Walter was a great waiter...very attentive on a busy Saturday morning!
New York HabitatNovember 15, 2011The food here is good but what keeps people coming back is the rich, delicious cheesecake. Stick to the original cheesecake, they just know how to do it right, time and time again.
Abdulaziz Al TamimiAugust 17, 2015Cheesecake!! Love their cheesecake. Did I say that enough!? Get cheesecake! 😍
Jackie IoninMarch 12, 2012american food w/ an old school jewish flair (i.e. challah french toast, pickles on the tables, matzoh ball soup, etc.) famous for the cheesecake. big fan of the black & white cookies.
Marco GalantinAugust 30, 2014The cheesecake is not only delicious, it's big! Couldn't finish it after a regular meal but loved it for breakfast the morning after
sofie geoJune 10, 2018pricey for what it offers. Go for the pulled pork sandwich and the cheesecake, to tick the "american junk food experience" on your checklist ;)
Lenny GalloJuly 1, 2015Although pricy, for a Times Square Diner, this place isn't bad. Just make sure to stick to the traditional sandwiches and burgers. You can skip the famous Cheesecake which is mediocre.
waleed bahrawyApril 5, 2019Vegetables omelette with extra mozzarella and cheddar cheese.. Griddle cakes come with cinnamon apples and raisins on the side
B BarryJune 29, 2018I was craving for a dessert so I tried the New York cheesecake, it was pretty good but it would be perfect if the biscuit layer in the bottom was a bit more thicker
Roniel TesslerDecember 27, 2014Best kept secret: bypass the huge lines and head straight for the bar and see if there are any empty seats. Fast Service and no wait time.
Sarah J ParkerOctober 14, 2017Great authentic cheesecake, loads of options, atmosphere is buzzing. Worth the wait to get in.
Ange SDecember 6, 2013Carrot cake cheesecake is awesome, with a slice of the original cheesecake sandwiched inside for good luck. Servings are Huge. Share a slice!
KenMarch 4, 2016Great selection of fantastic cheesecakes and large portions, so the price does not feel so bad considering near times square.
Natalie MJuly 28, 2015Grab precut cheesecake slices at the end of the night to bring back with you for dessert. The chocolate swirl is the best!
AndorSeptember 2, 2016Try the Devil's Cheesecake - Be prepared to get whipped, but boy this one's delicious! #DevilsCheeseCake #Chocolate #Fantasy #Amazing (via @Foodspotting)
Theresa MariusJanuary 26, 2018I love the fact you can go to the small take-out area and get your cakes and pies to go.
Sarah WarmanNovember 18, 2016The burger was great as was the service. Our waiter was very personable and, of course, the cheesecake was excellent!!!
CarrieDecember 30, 2018Plain cheesecake from the bakery takeout counter...no line...friendly professional staff. It was delicious.
Nabil BazzariJuly 8, 2019Have not been. Aboud Najjar highly recommends for best cheesecake in NY. Get original
Douglas SouzaSeptember 2, 2014Cheesecake!!! It doesn't matter the flavor! Just order it ! Foreigners may be surprised by the size of the portion LOL !!! It's huge!!!
Rami JBMay 12, 2016I prefer the Original in Brooklyn because it's less busy with tourists but the food and cheesecake were amazing
Fiona MaynardAugust 13, 2014Incredible cheesecake and milkshakes! A must do if you're in the Times Square area and feeling peckish!!- The Athenian ChicMay 4, 2018We came here for the cheesecake but it could've been silkier. I loved the ambiance though and service was super polite.
Ray HartjenJanuary 14, 2015Coffee is hot, and lots of it. The NEO is a nice breakfast dish, with salmon favorable. Pass on potatoes, as they're 'hotel-like.' Go with grits instead.
The red velvet cheesecake is so delicious. It's huge though so you'll need reinforcements to eat it.
Amanda LannanMarch 20, 2016Don't miss having a piece of one of New York's best! Original is the way to go.
Dan YonDecember 22, 2016Very touristy...Waited 40 min for breakfast and ended up eating lunch. Skip the pastrami burger, it was a huge soggy mess with a tiny slice of pastrami. The cheesecake though... holy crap is it good!!
The turnover at this particular Junior's is incredibly fast. So even if they give you a 30 minute wait time, it could very well be as little as ten to fifteen minutes.
Andrew CNovember 8, 2017SEVEN DOLLARS FOR CHEESECAKE???? This is crazy expensive, no matter how delicious and mouthwatering it is
Odin Hørthe OmdalNovember 25, 2014Cheesecake ❤ We randomly found this place, but after returning home to Norway I see this place is really famous for it. With reason I think.
As pretty much every review says, the cheesecake is amazing! My favorites are the chocolate swirl, raspberry swirl, and of course the original.
M BNovember 17, 2012Have a cup of the split pea soup (a bowl's plenty) and you can split the pastrami sandwich with someone! Yum! Parking for B/way shows right nxt door
Chris ChavezNovember 30, 2015I had the chicken pot pie, best ever, flavorful, and filling. Any cheesecake here is awesome!
decent prices and good matzoh ball soup for a times square tourist trap. head for the take-out counter. quick, easy and not crowded.
Justin OrdovezaNovember 9, 2023Definitely save room for the cheesecake. The deli sandwiches are ok. There is a nice outdoor dining area.
Hugh WarrenDecember 26, 2019The original cheesecake is amazing. A must try. Located in the theater district.
